July 2015: “Gwazi”
Sweetness continues from last month into the first days of July. After that, hold onto your hat and get ready for a rickety ride! Rest assured, there are plenty of smooth potentials amidst the madness. Especially watch out mid-month with a line-up of fiendish aspects with heavy-hitters Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus. The feel for this month is reminiscent of the ride,
“Gwazi,” that had its last run at Busch Gardens, Tampa, Florida, earlier this year. It was an old, rickety, wooden coaster with a mostly dramatically bumpy, not-fun ride. There were several spots of “Wheeeee!” between the back-crunching bumps. That’s what this month looks like.
CHECK OUT MORE JULY HIGHLIGHTS:
** Sometimes the effects of planetary transits are felt before or after the actual day that the transit occurs.
July 1 — A Power Day of Epic Proportions! Full Moon in Capricorn — This is the first of two full moons this month. Fullness, completion, or fruition comes to topics such as: father figures, authority, ambitions, worldly success, recognition, and life purpose. Sun in Cancer Trine Neptune in Pisces — This aspect amplifies inspiration and creativity. Daydreams yield powerful outcomes. Full Moon in Capricorn Sextile Neptune in Pisces — Musical and other creative and healing arts get a huge boost at this time. Inspiration overflows into magical creation. Venus in Leo Conjunct Jupiter in Leo — To understand this awesome pairing combine any of the following words: love, money, beauty, fulfillment, fun with any of the following: flows, expands, grows.
July 2 — Mercury in Gemini Sextile Uranus in Aries —
Miracle problem-solving breakthroughs abound now as do new levels of mastery with technology or communication.
July 3 — Mercury in Gemini Sextile Jupiter in Leo — Look out for major opportunities to advance projects involving publishing, broadcasting, writing, advertising, short trips, studying, teaching, social groups, or transportation/mobility.
July 5 — Mercury in Gemini Sextile Venus in Leo —
This sweet combo brings increased chance for good news, pleasurable expression, money inflow, a perfect purchase of art or other tangible item, and important or fun social connections.
July 6 — Sun in Cancer in Opposing Pluto in Capricorn — A situation that brings the strong desire to control is likely. Topics of power and powerlessness are on the agenda. Resist
the urge to dominate. Something that is testing your resolve can create the opportunity to find inner riches.
July 8 — Mars in Cancer Trine Neptune in Pisces —
Softness, beauty, and inspiration are the themes of this transit. Gentle artistic expressions abound. This is a great time doing something relaxing or dreamy.
July 12 — Sun in Cancer Square Uranus in Aries —
Unwelcome interruptions to routine or status quo run rampant now, as do nerve-jangling ego flares. This can be alternatively experienced as an overwhelming urge to break out of routine creating hasty and counterproductive actions.
July 13 — Mercury in Cancer Trine Neptune in Pisces — This is an awesome time for seaside inspiration or reading lakeside. Anything that combines the energy of water, reading or writing, sharing information, family, with water, healing, or
art is strongly indicated now.
July 13-14 — Venus in Leo Square Saturn in Scorpio — Tough time for money, love, and beauty-related things. Coupled with the string of challenging aspects hitting off
exactly the days before and after this transit, the likelihood of stormy relationships and financial times increase significantly. July 15 — New Moon in Cancer — The New Moon is
usually a great time for starting new things but this month it is accompanied by volatile energies that lend themselves to laying low. It is still great to make your ten New Moon wishes, especially on the topics of home, housing, family, psychological issues and childhood. Mercury in Cancer Conjunct Mars in Cancer both Opposing Pluto in Capricorn — The match-

up of Mercury & Mars in conjunction in Cancer brings vibrancy and power to expression, especially that of an emotional nature. Because of the other, more challenging aspects today, consider holding up on topics of discussion of a charged nature as things can go awry at the slightest provocation during this time. Mars & Mercury opposing Pluto can be a nasty & dangerous combination. Mercury rules cars & transportation so extra awareness when driving, biking, boating, walking, flying, and any other modes of movement is necessary. Also, Mercury rules communication & expression and Mars rules action so stressed verbal communications are more likely to turn physical at this time. A great time to powerslam a punching bag at the gym.
July 18 — Mercury in Cancer Square Uranus in Aries —
This is an especially awkward time for communication. Hold off on presenting anything important if you can. The transit below details a better time for expression. Challenges with transportation continue from previous transits into this time. No texting or talking while operating heavy machinery or other means of mobility! Especially guard your head.
July 21-23 — Sun in Leo Conjunct Mercury in Leo both Trining Saturn in Scorpio — Realism and practicality dominate now in ways that can create enduring positive results. This is a time to pull in the slack and get really efficient and focused on problem-solving. Long-standing issues can start to come to resolution at this time with patience, hard-work, and realistic viewpoints. Support for projects is more likely when presented in a thorough and detailed way.
July 25 — Venus Retrograde in Leo — The planet of love, beauty, and money will be moving backwards from July 25 though September 8. Venus retrogrades approximately once every 11⁄2 years. This transit brings opportunities to re-evaluate relationships with people, money, and things. The best use of the transit is to go deep into the consideration process without making any final decisions based on what is being looked at. As the transit continues, new information or realizations will likely come that may contradict the previous decision. This is a fantastic time to go into individual or couples therapy, and sharpen knowledge about budgeting, money, and investing. It is not the best time to sell something of value, as you are likely to get less than it is worth but it is a great time to get a deal on expensive things as many people are making hasty decisions about art pieces/other pricey items during their “consideration” process. Avoid design projects, especially if they involve decisions that are not easily reversible. Money may come from past projects or owed for other reasons, zest may return to a current relationship, or love may come back from the past. Ways money came in before can return as new income streams or previous business ideas may come back for re-evaluation. This is a great time to “try on” ideas regarding love, money, aesthetics, but not commit to them fully. It is astrologically the worst time for cosmetic surgery and weddings unless something in the personal chart is superceding the transit in a huge way.
July 26 — Uranus Retrograde in Aries — The planet Uranus, ruler of freedom, turns retrograde from July 26 through December 25-26. During this time major evaluation of the topic of freedom: the personal definition of freedom, what makes one feel free, what is interfering with freedom, and what can be done about making more freedom in life, moves into the forefront. The retrograde time is usually not the best time to implement decisions based on analysis, decisions will carry more power when implemented after the evaluation process is complete at the end of the transit.
July 31 — Full Moon in Aquarius — This is the second full moon this month. The chance for drama in the days around this transit is strong! Excess or completion comes to topics related to friends, acquaintances, social scenes (virtual or live), dealings with groups or teams, and humanitarian efforts.
