The Personal Signs

The July 1st full moon in Capricorn brings heightened artistic ability. As we celebrate our nation’s birthday, we also enjoy positive qualities and success with creative pursuits. The July 15th new moon in Cancer brings two weeks of fertility and growth. This new moon is carrying a lot of emotional baggage. You may feel hindered or sluggish if you want to begin something new at this time. The July 31st full moon in Aquarius brings the second full moon of the month. It will have the greatest effect on leaders, actors and children. It will turn up the drama level, so remember to be open to change and respect the rights of others. The August 14th new moon in Leo brings another time for growth. Passions are running high, and there could be dramatic new developments in banking as well as laws concerning marriage of same-sex couples. The August 29th full moon in Pisces brings a period of closure that can be applied to any issue in your life that has run its course. Time to celebrate your accomplishments, finish up health treatments or wind down a relationship.

ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20)

Of the two full moons in July, the second one seems to be especially beneficial to you, Aries. In the department of friendships or group endeavors, you will need patience until the 31st, which is never easy for you. After that you are free to claim and assume the position that you know is yours. August brings fun and creativity. If you love what you do, keep creating: music, dance, art, anything that allows you to open your heart and do what you love. This will earn you a bow.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 TO MAY 20)

If you have been toying with the idea of changing your profession, but have not made your mind up yet, the second full moon in July will ask you to give it a shot. What’s the holdup? Just know that the universe is here to support you. August brings out your excellent sense of humor, which most people don’t often get to hear. Romance is high and alive. You won’t be spending too much time alone over this next year unless you want to. Time to turn your home into some income property. Create a workshop or host a class.

GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20)

The July 1st full moon gives you the chance to express yourself in no uncertain terms, Gemini. Whatever you have been waiting to say, now is the time. The universe will be happy to help you say it right, so no one will take it personally. Be careful of the tendency to be picky or argumentative, though. At August’s end you gain a bit of luck. Change comes at the eleventh hour, and whatever you’ve invested your time and money in begins to pan out.

CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22)

The July 1st full moon helps you make a decision about an emotional relationship that has just been pushing the envelope far too long. You can be understanding, Cancer, but not at your expense. July’s second full moon could carry you into August with a new intimate partner. If you’re single, that won’t be the case for too much longer. August helps you resolve matters and find a way to work it all out. If you let others know they are valued and supported, all should work out nice.ly

LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22)

One never knows what the electric planet, U ranus, will bring. At the full moon on July 1, he may arrange a “coincidence” meeting for you, perhaps at the bank, cleaners or grocer y store. At some point someone who excites you, charges you up and gets you motivated will cross your path. P ay attention to small talk, Leo. At month’s end and as August opens, the light spotlights your relationships. For better or worse, you’ll have the information you need to make a decision you’ve been putting off. Stay on your toes to guard against being taken advantage of. Listen to your instincts, Leo. What you really have to do now is trust the universe.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22)

When Virgo mixes with the energies of the full moon in Capricorn on July 1, matters can get very serious. You may be organizing some recreational fun or a family get-together. Once it all comes together, you’re filled with pride and happiness. Mid-month brings a confrontation that good-byes are made of. Time to take a long look at just what you expect from others. August brings good times, but you need to watch your weight over this next year, Virgo. A romantic secret may emerge on a collision course around the 4th. If you’re looking to make a change, it could happen by month’s end.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22)

The July 1st full moon brings the focus on your home and family matters. If you’ve been thinking about a move, or perhaps buying a home, this Capricorn practical energy will be a great help to you. The second full moon on July 30 brings in the fun and frees some time for the beach! August brings a new love, perhaps an online romance. Just don’t give away your dark secrets until you get to know this person much better. You may find that a friend wants you to partner in business at the Pisces full moon. Just check the facts and watch your step. Any agreement reached is not apt to wear off quick.ly

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 22)

The July 1st full moon asks that you tend carefully to those minuscule details of a situation you’ve been trying to avoid for months now. You need to be practical, realistic and perhaps call in a pro if you can’t handle it alone. Time to clear up any financial matters that have been troublesome. A new love could appear after the 15th. Early August is the time to have any conversation you’ve been putting off. Make coffee, hover around the kitchen and work it out. Anyone who challenges your authority at the Pisces full moon will feel like they’ve awakened a sleeping dragon. You’re willing to fight as long as it takes, especially if you know you’re right.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21)

The first of two July full moons on the 1st brings stimulating conversations and a focus on finances. The good news is that you’ve come up with some work ideas that can also be fun. Mid-month you come close to finding an explanation for an issue concerning a romantic situation. Keep asking questions, gently, until you have the answers. August brings messages from a distance, but you won’t have to look too far for a warm hug. The good you’ve done for others will be returned to you—just when you most need it.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19)

The full moon in your sign on July 1 brings some constructive changes; don’t hang on to the past, just go for it! Mid-month you are concerned with friends and family. You want to be sure they have everything they need, which is easy for you. The July 31st full moon allows you finally to shut the door on the person who is regularly asking for a loan. This time this person won’t come back. August brings the need to handle finances, inheritances and tax matters. If you’re challenged, you’re more than prepared to cause a scene. Intimacy problems with your partner need to be discussed, as you have been uncomfortable with arrangements for a few months now. You feel a bit uneasy and restless at month’s end.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18)

As July opens you feel like experimenting to drastically change your appearance and personal presentation. A new wardrobe or hairstyle may be in order. If you’re single, it is definitely time to get out there and show your stuff. Your talents and looks will knock the socks off of anyone who looks back. Be careful driving on the full moon at month’s end. August turns up the heat in romantic relationships. If you’re attached, be careful not to make your partner jealous. Otherwise, look to mid-month for a very attractive, sexy challenge. You won’t be certain if it’s real until after the 29th, so just lay back and enjoy.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 TO MARCH 20)

Things may be a bit rocky for you financially as July opens, Pisces. Romantically, however, this promises to be a month to remember. This is a great time to travel and spend time with family and friends. If you imagine arms around you, but haven’t yet made the move, now is the time. The opportunity to earn a bit with a fun-filled job comes along mid-month. August brings a buffet of new admirers, all of whom have interesting accents or tons of good stories. You may have done quite a bit of arguing last month, but taking a stand is exactly what was needed. Now you’re amazed at how much others are willing at least to try to see your point of view.
