July Horoscopes

By Vikki Anderson

Solar Eclipses are very important in astrology which represent the only time you can actually make a dramatic impact on your life.  The total eclipse is on July 11 at 3:40 PM in 19 Cancer 24 and can be seen from the South Pacific, Easter Island, Chile and Argentina.  The energy of the eclipse affects the whole day so carefully decide what opportunities you wish to attract into your life and then try to attain them.

What is a dramatic impact on one’s life, you may ask?

It means that you can change your life and go into any direction you want it to go.  It means that if you don’t like the way your life is going, you can change it in a positive manner and the effect will last until the subsequent eclipse.

So what should you do on an eclipse?

I love explaining to my students and clients what they should do on an eclipse.  It’s very simple and practical at the same time.  Do whatever you want to be doing for the next six months.  So, if you want to start looking for a new job, send out resumes on that day. If you are trying to sell your home, talk to a realtor that day or drop into a realtor’s office OR put your house up for sale on an eclipse for extra energy in selling it quickly. If you like your job, get to work on time, be friendly, have lunch with co-workers, etc.  Don’t go shopping on an eclipse or your intent would be to spend extra money during the next six months.  Do contact people you would like to have in your life more than you do now.  You can email, write or visit with them, it doesn’t matter.  The contact is the important issue.  Go out to a meal with friends or your partner (or children, if you’d like) so that you would have more time and money to do that.  I tell my women students not to pay so that they would not be picking up many of the bills in the future.  If you are ill on this day, unfortunately, you will probably catch every kind of cold to flu or worse during this time period.  So please take care of yourself so you don’t have to worry about your health.

Personally, I read, take the dog for a walk, listen to CDs, watch TV, rest, plan to do a hobby or interest and make sure I either lecture, write or have clients on that day to attract more business.  You can start a new redecorating project or personal hobby.  You can take a new class, start a new foreign language series that you always wanted to learn.  Make a home cooked meal for the family if it is your intent to have the family around the dinner table more (however, you will be cooking more too).  You can always order pizza!  Tell someone you like/love them.

What shouldn’t you do on an eclipse?

That’s easy to answer.  Do not do housework!  Do not schedule any medical procedures or a doctor’s appointment.  (You don’t want to be sick for the next six months, do you?).  Do not pay bills or have a fight with anyone.  If you do, make up quickly so this will not be an issue for the future.  Do not stay home from work on this day or you will be down sized, laid off or fired.  (Several students tested me on this and told me in the following semester that they had gone on unemployment!).  If you are home sick from work, put on makeup and get dressed so you will not be lying around watching TV while not being groomed properly. (Men, you don’t have to put on makeup!).  Do not procrastinate or put things off which should be done now.

Don’t do anything you don’t want to be doing over and over again for the next six months.  It’s like a video that will be playing each day over and over again until the next eclipse. Think about what you want to accomplish and make sure you are doing that exact thing with the people you want to be doing it with.

So all in all, a solar eclipse is a wonderful way or reorganizing your life, bringing positive energy in that you need to make your life complete or to get it on another path.

There will be four eclipses in 2011, so plan to have an ongoing adventure!

ARIES - March 20 – April 19

You have little time for yourself and constantly wonder where the time goes.  You need to focus and prioritize your life to accomplish your goals. Worrying too much is finally taking its toll on you, so be a bit more positive in your thoughts and goals and watch them quickly come to fruition.  New ventures/opportunities seem likely, so go for them. You try new diets and eat healthier foods; however, you fluctuate between staying on your diet and not. If you want that summer body, stick to an exercise routine, even if it’s just walking the dog or jogging around the neighborhood on a daily basis; moderate your sweets intake and you’ll start to feel better and get the toned body you’ve wanted for such a long time.

TAURUS - April 20 – May 19

You may be living in a fantasy world and think that everything will turn out for the best so ask trusted family/friends for their unbiased perspective. Be positive that you are doing what is in everyone’s best interest. Personal partnerships may be tricky so if life seems confusing, deal with the issues immediately. You may feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders now so your decisions about your future will be very important.  If you act in a mature manner, and are patient and tolerant of those you love, things will work out for the best. You seem emotionally drained and exhausted so give yourself some TLC. There are so many good times ahead of you once you make a definite decision about your path; however, you need to make that final decision.

GEMINI - May 20 – June 20

It seems as if you wish you can get away from it all, but you have many responsibilities to handle.  Travel may be on your mind, but finances or circumstances may not make it easy to get away.  Scattered energy is also an issue. Taking a more mature view of your career and how you can work smarter would be in your best interest.  Giving your work a creative edge would give you the cosmic kick in the pants you need to accomplish so much more than the mundane.  You need a positive challenge and to set realistic goals.  Gems need to stop waiting for things to get better - you need to make them better by being pro-active and taking more control of your life.

CANCER - June 21 – July 21

Travel seems like fun.  Dealing with personal issues is important now so you can move on to a more positive future. Emotions are calming down and you are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck seems to be following you and helping you to accomplish many things that are currently unresolved. You are re-energized and motivated and feel a certain sense of accomplishment.  You feel as if you can take on the world.  Your energy level is high and your friends get you out of the house and force you to have some fun.  New and innovative ideas keep your life fun, focused and a bit surprising. Take advantage of the optimistic future ahead of you thanks to this Cancerian eclipse.

LEO - July 22 – August 22

Handling your frustrations makes you feel overwhelmed, but all this hard work will pay off in the long run.  You feel a sense of relief that things are finally making sense in your career and home life. Even though things may seem unusual, know that the energy is here to help you accomplish your dreams.  You can do anything when you put your mind to it.  Take hold of this opportunity to make your life better.  There is a strong connection to family and friends that helps you with personal and spiritual growth.  You want to do so much for others, but it seems that this is a time for you.  Why not take advantage of this encouraging energy and follow through with many of the plans you had to put on hold for various reasons.

VIRGO - August 23 – September 21

Going out with friends will help you complete many of the tasks you have on your “to do” list.  You will be networking and meeting many new friends and associates.  Your mind is racing in many directions at once, but somehow you still seem to pull it all together when it counts. You have the stamina to accomplish much now so why not prioritize your “list” and start handling the things that are really important to you.  A change in romantic partner is possible, or the dynamics of your relationship will change.  If you are not involved, this would be a good time to go out and have some fun as it seems that romantic energy is around you.  If you are considering training or additional education, this would be a good time to register for classes you may be taking in the fall.

LIBRA - September 22 – October 22

Confusing information makes you rethink things. It would be best to make a decision and stick with it.  Disagreements may spring out of nowhere if you don’t think before speaking.  Your natural charm gets you out of a lot of uncomfortable circumstances; however, your energy seems somewhat stifled.  Home life and family have the potential to be calmer and bring you much more joy than in the past recent months.  Although your home life is not the norm, it is exciting and fun when everything is running smoothly.  Creativity and ingenuity helps revive new thought patterns and a new way of doing things.  There will be much more cooperation and stimulation that will help you feel refreshed and convinced that all you have sacrificed for your family was well worth it. 

SCORPIO - October 23 – November 21

Handle your own goals now.  Good luck will follow you so share it with your romantic partner and family. Be sure to rest and take care of yourself.  It seems as if you are continually taking on too much responsibility. Circumstances seem to be blown out of proportion and you wonder how things got this way.  Why not delegate or hire help to assist you in your projects? You have been very busy handling family issues that you rarely had time for yourself, but now you are trying to figure out how to bring a little more relaxation in to your life. If you have the time, a mini vacation would be a wonderful diversion. Activity keeps you hopping, but soon things will clear up and you will be doing things you want to do and not things you have to do. 

SAGITTARIUS - November 22 – December 20

There may be important issues that need to be dealt with regarding your significant other.  If you pretend these issues away, they will come back to haunt you. Remember, being too giving, caring, loving, honest and trustworthy is wonderful; however, not if others do not reciprocate the kind gestures.  Do not let others take advantage of your good nature. You should not continue to be the giver in all things and may need to learn how to receive. Dealing with money issues and family seem to keep you busy.  It would be in your best interest not to spend your money before you plan a realistic budget and know that you can actually afford what you want.  Changes in career would be excellent for you. Perhaps a home based small business would help you express your creativity and resourcefulness. 

CAPRICORN - December 21 – January 18

Your family’s goals and yours may not be similar which may cause you some distress or worry.  Disagreements with family members make you wonder why you ever got involved with the current issues.  Irritations or frustrations keep you from having a peaceful month unless you quickly take control of the situations. You should meditate or find some quiet time around your busy schedule.  Over thinking things will not change them.  Positive attention could be given to your romantic partner to make things between you a little more peaceful.  Someone feels taken for granted or unappreciated, so this would be a good time to do something extra special for your partner. Learn the meaning of the word “compromise.” 

AQUARIUS - January 19 – February 17

Finding creative ways of making your home life work better will be in everyone’s best interest.  Hard work pulls you in one direction, but your desire for a nice vacation or time away from family issues keeps tugging at your sleeve.  You seem to be getting tired of all the responsibilities around you, but you will continue to give your energy, time, advice and opinions to those who request them. Don’t let things get blown out of proportion, especially the misunderstandings.  Please don’t take things so personally, as you seem so sensitive now that everything upsets you.  Set family rules and then follow them yourself.  Take care of health issues before they turn into something serious. 

PISCES – February 18 – March 19

You are very attractive, fit, and ready to meet the world. You want to bring some enthusiasm and enjoyment back into your life.  You may be a bit too sensitive now so don’t take things too personally.  Seeing things from a different perspective will get you noticed.  Your non-judgmental attitude seems to attract many new people into your life, so be prepared to be busy. Change is in the air whether it’s in romance or with friends.  New people are coming into your life and you should be prepared to get rid of the old.  Long distance travel, higher education or classes, workshops, lectures or training seem probable so decide which of these fun things you would like to undertake and sign up for them before you change your mind.
