Your career is due to make big headlines this month, dear Libra. Hopefully in June you took a vacation or at least enjoyed a slower pace, because this month you won't be able to slip out of town - too much will be happening at home base!

The beat will start to pick up immediately the minute the new moon begins on July 2. That new moon will shine at the very pinnacle point in your chart and open a window of opportunity lasting two weeks that will allow you to take a big step up in your career.

Some new moons are flawed, some are good, and others are great. This one is near great. The day this new moon appears in your tenth house of honors and fame it will conjoin Venus, your ruling planet. This suggests that offers that come to you will be offers you'll like, and, with Venus in this house, you will easily impress VIPs with your background, experience, and winning ways. This is your moment, dear Libra! You must seize this chance to rise to the top.

Venus will receive superb aspects from Uranus shortly after that new moon arrives, suggesting that any position that arises will come out of the blue. You may simply be at the right place at the right time, so keep your ears open! Jupiter will partner with Venus from across the skies, another sign that you'll be happy with developments.

If you do want a new, more prestigious position, be quick to harness the energy of the new moon. Start making calls, and be sure to return any that you should get from a headhunter. You won't have to actually win the job in July, but you do need to set up the first interviews in the first half of the month, between July 2 and 17. Your strongest week will at the month's start, July 2-8.

If you like your job but hope to pick up a freelance job, the right project might arise on Monday, July 14. That's when the Sun and Uranus will be so beautifully angled, again bringing amazing surprises in weird, unexpected ways. The Sun will light your prestige sector and Uranus, your sixth house of actual assignments.

Keep your antenna up too on July 22, a jewel of a day, when Mercury and Uranus will be so perfectly aligned. Mercury will be, by then, in your house of fame and will signal Uranus. An offer may come to you as if by lightning bolt! If you need to generate ideas on a present assignment, this wow of a day would allow for that. You'd be hailed as a star for the gems you come up with! Writing, speaking, thinking, creating - you name it, this is your day!

I was speaking to one lovely young Libra who had just received a fine position as an editor at a top consumer magazine in June. She and I were trying to figure out how July could possibly be an important career month for her, since June brought her the promotion she had hoped to get. Yet I knew that, because she was a Libra, July, not June, would be the month that she'd get the wide industry respect. The tenth house, so lit up for her - and you - is what the ancients referred to as "the house of dignity." The way I think this will work out for this young editor is that the magazine's PR department will issue a press release about her new post in early July. That would give her the recognition I see in her chart, and certainly she should suggest that they do! As it is now, few people know about her promotion. You may see a similar situation develop, where you take the job one month, but it's announced later, now, as sometimes this is how things work out.

Of course, it's also possible that in early July she could get a better offer from a different source and suddenly quit to take that job in time. (New moons open a new portal of discussion, which may or may not develop quickly - it could take many months to win the job you discuss now.) Mercury was retrograde from late May through most of June, so if she accepted the promotion prior to June 23, she might change her mind and do a fast job switch in July. Accepting a job or signing a lease on an apartment (as two examples) often brings changes, but not always instantly - it can take weeks, months, or even a year before it becomes apparent that the decision was not to bring the long-range permanence that you had hoped.

When we act during a Mercury retrograde period (the next will go from September 24 to October 15), conditions will later shift in ways that no one could have anticipated, so you are left to making adjustments down the line. If you did take an important job last month, don't be jittery - it may be the first scenario, or it may be that your job description changes appreciably in ways that delight you. Or, you'll be courted later for a truly big position! No need for stressing out! You have a truly great career chart, so I can't see how you'd lose!

Now let's talk about your home life, which will ALSO be strongly accented in July. A real estate, housing, redecorating, or other domestic or family situation will reach an exciting culmination at the full moon, July 18, plus or minus four days. If you need a new place to live, be determined to look at the listings early in July because it really does seem that you'll find a space you like by mid-month. If selling a house, listen to your broker and adjust your price accordingly - July brings the best window of opportunity you've had all year to sell, buy, or lease.

There will be one other date that may help you wrap things up concerning any domestic matter: July 26. Mars will be in beautiful angle to Jupiter then, so you may get a tip that you can act on immediately, or things discussed at the full moon, July 18, may be fully finished by July 26.

You can use the energy of the full moon, July 18 (operative July 16 to 22) or of July 26 in small ways, too. You can paint the living room, wash windows, clean out closets, refinish your dining room table, buy linens and accessories, or do any number of other things to make your home more cozy and inviting in advance of the year-end holidays. If you have hoped to find the right roommate, you'd likely find the right one by the full moon, July 18.

Family matters, especially those affecting parents, also come under the domain of the fourth house too, the area of your chart that will be so brilliantly lit at the full moon. Mom or Dad may need a hand with moving furniture, for example, or ask you for special advice about managing the household books. You get the idea - be available if your parent calls at that time.

If you were adopted and have been searching for a parent, this full moon will be so beautifully aspected that you may finally find your biological mother or father and even have a first meeting. Keep searching if you hope to find this person.

If you don't settle your home / property / domestic or family decisions by this full moon period, July 16-22, then you will need to wait until the new moon in Capricorn on December 27 (plus two weeks) for your next big opportunity. Don't plan to be on holiday between Christmas and New Year's or you will miss the opportunity of your dreams! That new moon will be VERY powerful and beneficial, with five planets lighting your house of home!

I should add that you have Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, visiting in your fourth house of home until early January 2009. This is a once in 12-year golden opportunity to get your living situation the way you have always hoped it to be. Of all the signs, you have the very best outlook for home and property-related matters. You may be able to buy a house for a "steal" or finally buy the perfect piece of furniture for your living room, perhaps for a bargain price. Jupiter is retrograde right now until September 8, but once Jupiter wakes up from his nap, watch things speed up really quickly. Even if you buy a house now, your plans to make it yours will really pick up steam in the last four months of the year.

If you have a serious decision coming up, such as whether to buy or sell a house, you may have other important dates coming up that I can't see in your chart. In your case, you should read for your rising sign, as the rising sign is considered equal in importance to the Sun sign.

If you already know your rising sign, read it now, after finishing your Libra forecast. (If you were born at dawn, then you are a "double Libra" - a Libra with Libra rising - so there would be no other forecast to read. Keep in mind that the time that the Sun rises changes with the time of the year. "Dawn" is always a little different month to month. It's always wise to do a custom natal chart to be sure. Your natal chart will never change during your lifetime, so you need only to get it done once.)

In order to know your rising sign, you will need to erect your natal chart, with the day, month, year, city of birth, and precise minute of birth, taken from the original birth certificate. If you don't have your birth certificate or only have a computer copy of your birth certificate (the kind you'd get at the DMV for $5), you need to order the original vault copy - the one that was handwritten by the nurse on duty when you were born - which costs more, around $15 to $35 depending on the state. If you are American, call the Bureau of Vital Statistics in your state capitol, or look online for the place to order it. Birth certificates are NOT usually retained by hospitals. Recording births is a state government function, not a hospital function. For more information go to my other website, My Personal Horoscope: http://www.MyPersonalHoroscope.com

Romantically, next month may bring big news, as two major eclipses will arrive in August. The first, a major total eclipse of the Sun, will fall in your very social, people-oriented eleventh house of hopes and wishes, August 1. The second be the lunar, full moon eclipse, August 16, and is set to fall in your fifth house of true love. If you are dating, those eclipses will show you the direction that a close relationship is heading (or not heading) and after those eclipses have spoken, you will be able to plan accordingly. I will be posting Astrology Zone a bit early next month to help you get ready.

If you are not dating, an eclipse is known to change one's status quickly, so you may meet someone important in August. Stay tuned. If you are married or attached a long time, these eclipses could bring opportunity for more fun or talk about welcoming a baby. We will talk about those eclipses next month.

This month, you really do need to concentrate on career and home-related matters, which will keep you very busy!

Your best day for fun and love this month will be over the weekend of July 5-6, when Venus will be beautifully angled to Uranus. The moon will be in luxury and fun-loving Leo, so you're sure to have a good time. Leo relates so well to your sign!

Venus will help by moving into Leo too, from July 12 to August 6, a lovely, light influence that will allow you to find more time to see friends.

There are two other key dates for fun and love.

If you are not planning to move house or to renovate your kitchen over the full moon weekend July 18-20, then you might want to give a party for all your friends! To make this tender full moon work its magic for you, you need to hold your party at home, not in a restaurant or club. It looks like you'd want to do that anyway! Hold a backyard barbeque where friends bring a food contribution to your table beautifully done (a la Martha Stewart!) or invite friends in to watch a rented movie and offer pizza and cold sodas. Or, throw a luxurious, catered cocktail affair for 100. You can decide!

The other lovely romantic date to watch, July 22, will be best for single Libras - watch for a text message, IM, or surprise cell phone call to set your spirits soaring!

Your most romantic evenings will be: July 5-6, 9, 14-15, 18-20, and 22.

Summary:

You are entering into one of the most exciting months of the year for your career. While you have the attention of every important VIP in July, step up your game and give your career all you've got. Take a summer vacation? Not now, dear Libra.

Indeed, if you have been unsure of when to make a full-out move toward the position you want, the answer is now. The new moon on July 2 will open wide an important, encouraging window of opportunity - the biggest and best of the year. Refine your career strategy and be ready to book interviews during the week of July 7. With Uranus active all month, you may be taken by surprise on how quickly things shape up.

Watch July 7, 14, and 22 when news that strikes may leave you speechless.

A home or family matter will reach culmination at the full moon, July 18. If you have ordered new furniture, are having your walls painted, or want to rearrange closets, all will be finished by the weekend of July 19-20. If you've been trying to buy or sell property, an agreement is at hand. Keep negotiating - don't let up. Another day that should bring exceptional progress with home-related matters is July 26, a perfect day to choose if you move, thanks to Mars aligned with lucky Jupiter.

Feel in the mood to entertain? Good idea. Do so on either July 18, 19, or 25 when Venus in Leo will help you pull out all the stops. You'd design a stylish and imaginative setting, and the food and wine you choose would clearly be topnotch. Your guests will return the favor by dressing to fit the scene. This cool crowd sure knows how to whip up lively conversation too, so this fete should be one for the record books.

Single and can't remember the last hot date you had? Try again on July 5 or 6, perfect for a first date with real potential!

With Venus working hard to spice up your life in the area of your chart ruling fun, friends, and parties, invitations should arrive in bunches from July 12 to August 5. Pick up a few chic hostess gifts to have on had - it looks like you'll be going places, and you'll not want to arrive empty handed.

On July 22, you may get an email or cell phone call that catches you off guard - but you'll be thrilled! It's a highly romantic day, full of surprises of the best kind, thanks to Uranus (unanticipated events) in perfect angle to Mercury (news).

Remember these dates:

Your very best day for romance will be July 6.

The evening of July 31 will be quite glamorous, too.

Watch for a superb career opportunity to surface from July 2 to 17.

You will impress your boss July 14 with the work you do.

Your home will be a hub of activity and require attention: July 18-20.

What's On My iPod: "The Virgins" Debut Album

I love my iPod and have lots of songs on it, along with my monthly Astrology Zone® forecasts. Did you know that you can get each month's forecast read to you as spoken word, by a real person, not a computer? Check it out! here:

http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/template/ext/landing.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&pac=AstrologyZone)

But well, that's not the real reason I am writing to you.

I have a very special new album on my iPod that I want to tell you about-The Virgins-that does have a connection to Astrology Zone®.

Rolling Stone magazine recently reviewed the album in the June 26, 2008 issue (#1055) and gave it four stars! Concerning one of the album's songs, "Love is Colder than Death" the reviewer wrote: "It rocks like the Strokes' best party tunes, but its jittery bass line captures all the anxiety of the morning after." Why am I mentioning The Virgins debut album? There's a very interesting story!

First, if you want to see the album on BN.com, here's the link:

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.asp?CTR=1317236&afsrc=1&lkid=J12871747&pubid=K118156

In June 2006, while my head of reader mail was on a two-week vacation, I had no one to read the daily incoming mail. We read every letter, and being that the Internet is like a continuous waterfall, it's important to keep up with daily correspondence. I was having difficulty finding temporary help with good communication skills. I needed someone who could write well, and also be someone who would really care about the readers' questions.

In desperation, I called Chrissie, my older daughter, for advice. She excitedly reported, "My friend Donald writes really well and could probably help you out for two weeks." "Who is Donald?" I asked, and Chrissie explained Donald Cummings was a good friend and a musician who could always use a bit of extra cash. Chrissie convinced me that he had the compassion and the fine skills I sought, so I said, Ok. I would be happy to give Donald a try.

Donald came by and I found him shy and very kind. I was pleased with his excellent communication skills as well as his tender attitude toward readers.

When the two weeks were over, I was sorry to see Donald go. "What is your passion, Donald?" "Music," he answered. "OK," I responded-"let's look at your horoscope. Would you like that?" His answer was an enthusiastic yes. Fortunately he knew his exact time of birth. He was born November 17, 1981 at 6:06 AM EST in New York City.

A double Scorpio (Scorpio with Scorpio rising), Donald's chart showed enormous talent. I was amazed to see that he had natal Jupiter conjunct Pluto, a rare and truly fantastic signature of success. I told Donald, "You must keep writing and composing your music. You have a FANTASTIC chance of hitting it big, and your first breakthrough will occur in nine months."

Usually when I hear that someone hopes to make it in the music industry, I advise taking side jobs to earn money while the talent awaits their big break. I didn't do that in Donald's case. I felt his Scorpio intensity would keep him on the right track and that he would hit the jackpot very soon. After all, Mick Jagger has that Jupiter / Pluto connection at birth like Donald, as does Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Washington, Abe Lincoln. This is a special aspect that only happens every 13 years, and when it does, it has to be within a few degrees to be useful. Donald has that, and much more.

Sure enough, Donald Cummings and his band mates, Nick, Wade and Eric as The Virgins, signed a contract with Atlantic records nine months later. After signing, it took a while for their debut album to come out, of course, but it just did-early last month, on the new moon June 3.. As mentioned earlier, Rolling Stone loved it, giving it four stars!

As I write this report, the band has already completed one tour of the USA (more are planned) and are in Paris, on their way to London, and they are due to do some really exciting TV here in the United States. Truly, they are on their way to bigness, although their manager, Nick Stern, says, "Of course, they have much hard work ahead of them." The TV show Gossip Girl has used five songs already in a recent episode, and more Virgins tunes will be in the fall episodes of Gossip Girl being shot now. One huge company known for music in their ads has The Virgins on their short list they are considering for their TV ads.

The Virgin's debut album, "The Virgins," hit the top 50 on iTunes in its first two weeks.

Their best sellers are "Rich Girls," "A Private Affair," "Love is Colder than Death," and "Hey, Hey, Girl." I also love "Radio Christiane"-a song written for Chrissie, my daughter. Chrissie helped the group by finding their first-class manager.

Some of the songs on this album are explicit, but there are TWO versions of this album in the CD (listed on the Barnes & Noble website), and one version is clean. You can make the choice. Astrology Zone® is a "G" rated, family site, so I don't want to lead you astray. This album is for grown-ups, not children and iTunes will label the album as explicit too, as most songs are these days.

I feel this album is special, and I hope you like it, too. On Barnes & Noble's site, the CD in a jewel case is $13.99 (less member's discount) plus tax and shipping. Click here to buy it:

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.asp?CTR=1317236&afsrc=1&lkid=J12871747&pubid=K118156

On iTunes, you can search for The Virgins and look for the jewel case cover icon seen here.

I am so happy for Donald, Wade, Nick and Eric. Congratulations! Lets see if Donald rises as high as I feel certain he will! The night before he was to go on tour he called me-we had not spoken for a couple of years, as he had been busy writing-and he was very excited but also a bit nervous. "What do you think?" he asked. I laughed-"What do I think? I think this is the start of fulfilling all the talent that your chart has promised, dear Donald!"

Little Mom Celebrates her 89th Birthday

Little Mom, my mother, who I love with all my heart, and who taught me all the astrology I know, celebrated her 89th birthday last month on June 15. We had a small dinner party at my apartment in her honor, and she had so much fun. If you recall, last year she was deathly ill and spent four months in the intensive care unit of the hospital. No one was sure if she would recover. She did-look at how wonderful she looks!

This is a big thank you to you, dear readers, for sending prayers and get well cards to my mother last year, and for your continuing notes to see how she is doing. Your good wishes and prayers worked miracles. She not only recovered but is doing just GREAT! Thank you!

GET ASTROLOGY ZONE PREMIER ON YOUR CELL PHONE!

EVERY DAY!

JUST TEXT "AZP" (standing for Astrology Zone Premier) to

75777.

For the cost of a latte at your favorite coffee bar once a month, you can have all the astrological information you need to stay ahead, every day of the year. In addition to the daily horoscopes I write, you will also get special text alerts to remind you of changing planetary trends. You will also get special articles that I write that won't appear anywhere else! We have indeed developed a truly unique service that we feel you'll love!

Simply put "AZP" in the message and subject line and text to 75777.

Every carrier works a little differently, so here are the instructions for you:

• Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile customers - when you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back with step-by-step instructions on how to download the application. Example, Verizon customers are told to go to "Get it Now", then "Tools on the Go", then "Mind, Body & Soul" and then select Astrology Zone Premier. So, Verizon customers will have to actually exit the Text Message and go back into the menu on their phone. This is something that you, as a Verizon customer, have to do to get any application so it's not a new process, and it's worth the effort!

• AT&T and Sprint customers - When you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back that includes a link to the application. It is a more direct process than the one outlined above.

Not all phones are equipped to take new technology, so check first with your provider. If you purchased a cell phone in the past year, chances are, your phone is ready.

Incidentally, I was told Blackberry was ready to roll, and that we are working on coding the iPhone now. It will be ready soon.

Every carrier sets their own rates, so they vary a bit, but most charge between $3.00 and $4.00 a month for my service-check to find out what Astrology Zone Premier would cost by calling your carrier. You can decide when you want your texts to come in too-you choose the time, say, the evening before!

I hope you will sign up and let me know how you like it!
