Astrology....................60

Summer is underway and the first week of July brings some extreme energies and a bit of confusion as both Mars and Mercury change signs. On the 5th, action planet Mars leaves fiery Aries and visits determined, practical Taurus the rest of this month. We have more endurance now and energy goes into earning and indulgence. The communication planet Mercury moves into sensitive, intuitive Cancer on the same day. We are sympathetic listeners and decisions may be swayed by emotions.

The Full Thunder Moon in the cautious and reserved Capricorn is on the 13th. But aspects of Neptune and Pluto may reveal things hidden or secrets and undercover happenings. Capricorn, the sign of corporations and governments; reputation, and status will all be in the spotlight now. Love and money planet Venus moves on to nurturing Cancer on the 17th. We are home and family-focused, sentimental, and sensitive in love. This sign is not wasteful but will indulge emotional desires.

Moving swiftly along, messenger Mercury enters dramatic Leo on the 19th and we want to make a good impression on others. Romance and creative interests are on our minds. The Sun has been in home and family-loving Cancer all month but on the 22nd will enter playful, enthusiastic Leo. This sign is optimistic, generous, and a natural leader. We are ready to be active and adventurous. This is the sign of romance and children as well as our affection for them. Our hearts are big and we want to enjoy the good life.

The next lunar cycle begins on the 28th with the New Moon in Leo. As the month ends, we become more interested in self-expression and exploration. Going forward in this cycle, hobbies and personal desires are remembered. We want to travel and learn new things. Unexpected expenses may come with our wanderlust but would be well worth investing in for the memories.

CANCER: Energy goes into achieving goals; you lead in social circles. Growth begins in your career. The full moon focuses on partnerships; you are popular now. Financial matters go in new directions as the month ends.
