Overview for July 2010
This month's New Moon on 11th forms an unusual Solar Eclipse. This could bring emotional upheavals for some, especially water signs including Pisces and Scorpio, as it falls in Cancer.
But on a global level it can be a time which brings floods or unexpected tidal movements.
Jupiter continues its journey through Aries, along with Uranus; this is a time to be courageous about setting major plans and ideas into motion even if others think them rather wild. This will apply to the area of your chart where Aries falls, if you know this. Act before 23rd if possible.
The Full Moon of 26th brings with it a chance to be forgiving and to let go of some old issues, especially where they have involved power struggles. It is also a chance to bring your generous nature to bear on loved ones, friends and those in any kind of partnership with you.
Saturn finally completes its long period in Virgo this month, moving into Libra. Expect some of the more draconian measures announced recently by politicians to be modified somewhat.

ARIES
You will be leading from the front as the month begins. Your mental powers hit a peak on 9th; use your head to avoid a romantic clash the following day when everyone feels over-sensitive. Be prepared to change plans on 26th; and tread carefully in a close partnership on 30th.

TAURUS
Plan a dreamy date with a loved one on 8th when romance is beautifully starred. Be careful not to allow an old hurt to open up again on 10th, avoid contacting the person concerned if you can until 12th. Try not to take things personally from mid-month; you are feeling a little vulnerable.

GEMINI
You are full of ideas from the second week and have the energy to put them into practice. Make sure you have the whole truth on 8th and again on 26th: don't go by appearances. Take especial care of your health on 9th, 11th and 27th - 28th. Travel plans are well-starred from 30th on.

CANCER
An emotional start to the month for you culminates with a New Moon forming a Solar Eclipse in your sign on 11th. Channel this energy into creative pursuits to avoid overload in personal areas of life. A partnership issue is dealt with decisively on 24th; make sure you know your mind.

LEO
You will have to be very honest with a loved one but, with the help of Mercury in your sign from 9th, will find the right words. Try not to be too direct on 11th! From 22nd, the Sun in your sign brings a positive mood; on 26th, be loving with a partner; don't be inclined to hold back.

VIRGO
Loving Venus enters your sign on 10th, but makes contacts which indicate that you pay close attention to any health issues at this time. This month sees adjustments within your friendships, by your choice, but by 27th you feel much clearer, and know that you have done the right thing.

LIBRA
On 5th you may have to deal with a loved one's crisis; listen rather than advise as the reasons won't become clear until 8th. Partnership matters continue to dominate from 10th - 12th; then from 21st there is more stability. If you need to be honest with someone, avoid 30th; 31st is OK!

SCORPIO
There is a relaxed feel to the start of the month; enjoy the feeling of things running smoothly, it should continue for some time. Avoid saying harsh words on 11th; and you may have to say 'no' to someone's plans on 24th/ 25th. A partnership issue arising on 30th is best dealt with from 31st.

SAGITTARIUS
Your home or family life continue to prosper in July. A love from the past reappears around 12th and reminds you of a happy time. The period 23rd - 25th brings an urge to make major, perhaps sudden, changes. Leave these until after the Full Moon of 26th, to avoid upsetting a loved one.

CAPRICORN
There is lots of emphasis on your career this month. Around 20th there is the chance of a change of direction; then on 26th a decision is made, unusually quickly for you. From 27th there is a week-long period where all works in your favour; put any long-term plans into motion then.

AQUARIUS
Concerns about a loved one around 8th are resolved later the following day when you will be making plans for a surprise. 20th - 21st are sensitive days for you; spend time with those you find positive, as you may find yourself dealing with an issue from the past which needs resolving.

PISCES
Make sure you get to the bottom of an issue arising on 8th. On 9th - 10th you have a chance to put right something which has worried you. This month provides great opportunities d to do something exciting, and perhaps unusual, with a loved one, so make plans and be adventurous!
