Brace yourselves, babes. The star forecast for July is no joke. It’s Eclipse Season, so be ready to let go and let it flow. The month begins with a roar as Mars enters Leo, so take pride in your actions and speak from the heart. The next day on the 2nd is a total solar eclipse—an extra potent new moon in Cancer. What seems like a trick is actually a treat so say “hell yes!” to whatever comes your way. Whether it is grabbing a drink with that hottie, signing onto the creative project of your dreams or taking that solo trip to the French countryside, what comes up now is inevitable. Take a risk and trust your gut. Venus’s entrance into nurturing Cancer on the 3rd helps soothe the transition as you embrace your new life.
Mercury stations retrograde on the 7th, so be prepared for train delays, the return of the Ghost of Hookups Past and hours of hold Muzak. Of course it is beyond frustrating to deal with these glitches in the grind, but use the time spent waiting to slow down and listen for hidden messages. If going forward is getting you nowhere, go back instead.
Eclipses always come in pairs. And on the 16th, the full moon in wise earth sign Capricorn is also a lunar eclipse. Whatever isn’t working must go. Listen to the voice telling you to purge your designer denim, break up with your therapist or skip your toxic ex-roommate’s birthday party. You deserve to blossom without the baggage.
Self-esteem boosts abound on the 22nd when the sun returns home to Leo followed close behind by Venus on the 27th. Be proud of how hard you’ve worked on your damn self. On the 31st, with the new moon, also in Leo, it’s time to take in the stunning view at the end of a grueling hike. You did it! It has been a *moment*, but now you can appreciate what you’ve earned. On the 31st, we are blessed with a gorgeous new moon in Leo AND Mercury goes direct. Wipe the sweat from your brow and take in the view from the peak you’ve summited after a grueling hike. Stunning, right?
