Your July Horoscope by Susan Miller
Leo Horoscope for July 2009
By Susan Miller
It's the time of the year that the eclipses are due, and this time we will see an unusual set of circumstances. Instead of the typical two eclipses, for they always come in pairs, there will be three. The first will arrive as a full moon lunar eclipse on July 7 in Capricorn. The second will be a new moon solar eclipse on July 21 in Cancer, and the third, a second full moon lunar eclipse, will fall on August 5 in your opposite sign of Aquarius.
That last one, due next month, will be the one to watch. The only exception to that rule would be if you have Cancer or Capricorn rising, or if you have those planets very prominent in your natal chart. In that case, the others will be important, too. No reason to wonder - just sit back. You will find out soon enough.
Eclipses are the most powerful tool that the universe uses to create massive, dramatic change. Leos and Aquarians are at the end of a period where eclipses came by in those signs every six months since 2007. After this, you will be able to rest.
Eclipses test the strength of our resolve and of our relationships. They question our motivations, courage, determination, and goals. The interesting part of life is that it is not the set of circumstances that you are given that matters, but your response to them. Give the same pressures and same type of opportunities to ten people and you will get ten different reactions. The pressures and opportunities may be identical, but the responses will differ, and in that sense, by living life, you learn quite a bit about yourself. After next month's eclipse is over, you will not have any more eclipses in Leo or Aquarius for the coming nine years.
Next month's eclipse will fall on August 5 in your house of partnership, and that's where you may see a dramatic development. You may get engaged or married within days of this date, or you may decide to break up. You may sign a business partner, manager, or agent, or develop an existing business partnership into something new and more sophisticated.
I feel the eclipse will be positive and encouraging - not at all like some of the monster eclipses you've felt over the past years - so I see no reason for you to be anxious.
If you were born on or near August 5, your whole life will have a very different feel in the coming year. We will talk about that eclipse in detail next month as I continue your Eclipse Watch series, but we have plenty to look at this month too, so let's get to that.
I said that you would not feel this month's eclipses much at all, but there is one additional exception to that general rule. If you were born at the very start of Leo, say, near July 22-26, you will feel the July 21 eclipse because of what astrologers call an "out of sign conjunction to your Sun." That solar eclipse is at 29 degrees of Cancer, the very last degree before the Sun moves into the next sign. Therefore, this eclipse will be within the standard five-degree tolerance for an eclipse to be felt. If your birthday was named, circle July 21, plus or minus five days, on your calendar. That will be a solar eclipse, opening a brand new path. It's all for good.
I will come back to July 21 later in your report here, but first, let's start at the top of the month and see how the month begins and builds. We never experience an eclipse (or any other aspect for that matter) in a vacuum. We come to it with a package of experiences, relationships, dreams, goals, accomplishments, and maybe one or two past disappointments. We need to factor those experiences into the mix too, as we approach each eclipse.
On July 1, Uranus will go retrograde, not to regulate its orbit until December 1. It is common for the big planets, the ones that spin on the outer edge of our solar system, to retrograde for five months at a time. It does this every year. Uranus rules your partnership sector, so you or your partner may change your mind about staying together, or change the timetable for a plan you had made for the future. Because the seventh house, ruling partnership, rules not only marriage and established relationships but also contractual business agreements, you may see a change in either type of relationship.
Watch the days that surround July 1 to see if you hear anything from your partner, or feel any different yourself. If you do change your mind regarding your romantic or business partner, I feel that financial considerations may be the reason. I say that because Uranus is currently touring your eighth house of shared financial resources and is opposed to Saturn, also in a financial house. Saturn may be forcing you to be very realistic.
If you are thinking of getting engaged or are about to sign a contract, you may want to do a credit and background check on your proposed partner as a precaution. I find it interesting that there will be a full moon lunar eclipse next month in the very area of your chart that Uranus rules, your seventh house of partnership. Eclipses bring illumination, so just stay open to any news that the eclipse may deliver.
A full moon eclipse (August 5) brings things to a final conclusion. You may still be going ahead with plans, but you may change some of the details. For example, you may be planning to marry next month, but if you get a new prestigious job this month, you may need to scale back on your honeymoon so you can start your new job when the company needs you to begin.
I can think of other instances. You may have planned to marry and your fiance says he'd like to go to graduate school immediately, putting off an entry into the job market. With income about to be reduced, this change may force you to delay plans to wed. Things could work other ways. A pregnancy may speed up a wedding date. Or, news that your partner has been unfaithful to you could force a breakup. There are all sorts of possibilities.
The same is true in business, too - things come up. If you are already married or in a close business partnership, and are happy, you may simply change your mind about moving ahead now on a goal you had discussed together.
Keep in mind that the August 5 eclipse is there to protect you, so trust in the wisdom of the universe. I don't really see any evidence of the more unhappy possible outcomes, but I am duty bound to report them, because I cannot see everything going on in your chart.
Now let's turn to the eclipses this month. The full moon lunar eclipse on July 7 will bring a work-related matter to fullness. A woman co-worker or subordinate may leave, and if so, you will likely be completely surprised by her announcement to depart. I say "she" because a lunar eclipse always points to the women in your life, and this one will fall in your sixth house of work projects. Alas, when this person goes - and it may be immediately or in time - you will need to do more work to fill in.
If you are self-employed, you may find a silver lining to this situation. Saturn will be friendly, so it appears this person's departure may help you cut back on expenses, which may come in handy now. Or, after this person leaves, you may see this person was not doing the work you assumed she was, and that there was a lot to be desired by this person's performance, much to your chagrin.
If you work for an employer, you may be able to see an upside, too. You may qualify for overtime pay, or a raise, for after all, you'll be doing the work of two for a while, until another person can be hired. Saturn will be supportive to the full moon, and since Saturn is in your earned income house, you may be paid more as a result of this person's exit.
You must watch your health this month, as the full moon lunar eclipse July 7 could bring up a chronic or latent health concern if there are is one to address. Keep in mind that eclipses look for weak links - if it finds none, you will not notice any problem whatsoever. Pay special attention to teeth, bones, and skin (making it a good time to see the dermatologist). The parts of the body that will be highlighted with special emphasis will be your ears, eyes, and especially the knees.
You seem to be surrounded with medical personnel this month, although I am not sure if that is because you'll consult a doctor or because you will help a relative or friend with their medical questions. You may find yourself in a hospital, rehab center, physical therapy center, or nursing home this month, possibly as a visitor or caregiver.
The twelfth house, where the emphasis will be with this eclipse, is technically the place in the horoscope that rules confinement. That's why I mention hospitals and other medical facilities. I should mention that the twelfth house also rules prisons, so your conversations may not be with medical people but with law enforcement professionals.
I doubt that you would have any interactions with these types of people this month, either for yourself or others, but you never know. Judging by the weekly tabloid magazines that chronicle celebrities that I see, a visit to the jailhouse is more commonplace than anyone would assume. Anyway, I thought I should mention it. Perhaps you will do a documentary on the prison system, or work on a charity that helps to rehabilitate inmates when released, which would be a very worthy cause. That might explain the possible interactions with prisons. Stay with me, as there are two other possible manifestations.
Alternatively, you may decide in July that it's time to go to the dentist. (Compared with jail, the dentist sounds quite welcome, right?) If you cannot afford to see a dentist, find out if there is a university dental school in your city or a nearby city. Often the rates charged by such schools for cleaning, fillings, and more sophisticated treatments are much lower, and yet the care is still excellent. Keep in mind that this is the start of two years of eclipses in Capricorn and Cancer, so the emphasis on your teeth and bones will not be going away anytime soon. If you've been going to the dentist regularly, you should be fine. If you haven't, then you can start now, and that would be a good protection.
The sixth house, where you have a great deal of emphasis on July 7, also rules pets, so if you have a pet, you must keep a watchful eye on your little creature's health and well-being, too. If you have not taken your little dog or cat to the veterinarian for a check up or have forgotten to get your pet necessary shots, do so immediately. The medical people I see in your life might be related to your pet.
Now let's turn to the solar eclipse, July 21, which will actually be quite wonderful. As a Leo, you are ruled by the Sun, so you always feel solar eclipses more personally than lunar eclipses. (The July 7 eclipse will be lunar). I love solar eclipses - they are usually harbingers of very good news and open up a whole long road of opportunity that lasts for months, and possibly years!
As said earlier, if you were born near July 21, you will feel this eclipse, and you will see your entire lifestyle begin to change dramatically, even though it is technically falling in Cancer at 29 degrees, the last degree of the sign.
I should mention that if you were born July 22-26 you might see a prominent man leave your immediate environment in the days, weeks, or months to come. That may be your husband, father, or male boss, as three examples. This person may move away or in the case of a boss, change jobs. A solar "eclipse" usually "eclipses out" a male figure, but only if you were born very near that eclipse.
If you are a Leo but not born anywhere near the dates mentioned, then you will have a slightly different forecast. For you, the emphasis will be on internal development. You may find ways to sooth yourself through exercise or yoga, or you may begin to meditate. You may also become more interested in participating in your religion or investigate the tenants of another religion. You may consult a therapist for a certain psychological concern you have wrestled with, or to find out how to end a bad habit. A new moon sets up a new chapter, so if you do decide to do work on improving your mind, body, and spirit this month, chances are that you'll stick to your new plan.
There will be other important and very upbeat influences this month, and so before I go, I would like to address those.
First of all, lucky you, you still have Mars zooming through your tenth house of fame. This is a holdover from last month, but you will still have from July 1 to 10 to make tracks. On July 11, Mars will move on, so you'll have to work fast.
If you have not contacted all the VIPs on your list to apply for a job or to present an important idea to a higher up, you still have time to do so. Any job you aim for while Mars is in your tenth house almost always represents an impressive increase in power, responsibility, and status. Mars will not be back in this house for two years, so use this energy while you have it! By November 2, the full moon, you may win the prize career position you are aiming toward!
Your best day for career will happen on or very close to July 7. On that day, unrelated to the eclipse, Mars will send a golden beam to Uranus.
Uranus is now moving through your eighth house of shared financial resources, so if you are in a field where you work on commission, royalty licensing fees, or other performance based method, you'll be perfectly positioned to clean up. If you don't work in one of those types of jobs, you can always investigate upgrading the perks being offered (better health insurance, key to the executive gym, extra vacation days, a four-day workweek, or other benefits that may be valuable to you.)
From July 12 to August 25, your social life will move into full swing. This will come thanks to Mars in Gemini - and Venus in Gemini orbiting not far from Mars shows just how much fun the coming social season will be. For many hearing this, mid-July through August will be summer, so if you live in the northern hemisphere, you should be set!
Career pressures will fade, and you'll be able to devote yourself fully to friends, fun, and romantic possibilities. See dear Leo? The very best is yet to come!
Specifically, your best days for fun and love include: July 14, 18-19, 20, 27-28, and 31.
Summary
During the first ten days of July, push hard in your career. You'll find it easy to impress VIPs with your qualifications and experience at that time. Later, once Mars moves into Gemini from July 11 through August 26, you'll have time to relax and let all you've done "cook" a while. During that phase, let go and enjoy the joys of friendship. Consider getting involved with a charity or a club you belong to now, for you have the power to make a big contribution. Collaborations of all kinds will be inspirational, highly exciting, and lucrative from July 9-11.
Changes in the workplace in July may surprise you or even annoy you near July 7, but welcome them rather than resist them. Over the long road ahead, you will see that changes in the way you approach your projects or interact with co-workers were necessary. If you see a favorite co-worker or subordinate depart or hear about a major shift in assignments, take the news in stride. You wouldn't want things to remain the same, for that would stagnate you. Health and fitness will get a big boost from July 22, if you make an effort.
Dates to note:
This is a great month to improve your mind, body, and spirit. If anything has been troubling you, seek help from a psychoanalyst or other therapist near the full moon July 7.
Your career will go beautifully from July 1 to 10 - that's your time to pull ahead of the pack.
The solar eclipse of July 21 will bring many exciting changes in assignments, people, projects, and methods of getting your work done.
Creative collaborations are downright inspirational on July 10.
Marriage, engagement, and sharing a vision of the future will make you feel radiant July 9-11.
Money news will be good news July 2, 7, and 16. (Or, you may get gifts at that time!)
When the Sun moves into Leo, you'll be ready to move out of planning mode into implementation mode. Good! It will be your time to shine: July 22-31.
Romantically, your best days will occur after Mars enters Gemini, from July 12 onward. Friends will plan a flurry of activities for you from July 11-August 25. You've got a relaxing, fun spell ahead.
Specifically, your best days for fun and love include: July 14, 18-19, 20, 27-28, and 31.
