***These horoscopes cover the astrology in July/August of 2014 and can be found in Find Bliss Magazine***
ARIES-
In July you are moving through many shifts and changes personally, relationally and professionally. Knowing when to hold on and when to let go is an important theme this month. On the other hand Benevolent Jupiter moves into your 5th house of passion, creativity and self-expression mid-month, making the coming year a time to get back in touch with your inner child. Focusing on your passions, creativity and self-expression is key- and this may even come by way of travel, education, writing or teaching. In August the Universe tests the new things you are starting in your life- are they standing on solid ground? Are you really willing to work hard for them (I’m talking blood, sweat and tears)? Pay close attention to August 25th-27th as your ruling planet Mars aligns with Saturn. This is make or break it time- so either roll up your sleeves and get to work or throw in the towel.
TAURUS-
Communication is a key factor for you in the month of July. It’s not just what you have to say, it also comes down to how you say it- particularly if you want to be heard and effective. Watch out for subconscious/Unconscious motivation as words said cannot be taken back. Mid-July benevolent Jupiter moves into your 4th house of home and family, making the coming year a wonderful time to move, buy a home, redecorate or do something to feel more safe, secure and happy in your home situation. On a deeper level, major opportunities to clear old karmic ancestral patterns are headed your way. Get ready to work with them and liberate yourself! In August a fiery and possibly feisty energy permeates the atmosphere. Relationships with others may challenge you, but it’s how you deal with them that will be the deciding factor in what unfolds.
GEMINI-
July is a time to address checks and balances and get your finances in order. A way of dealing with financial realities in the past is coming to an end- so this necessitates you getting wiser and dealing with things with more mastery. On the 16th benevolent Jupiter moves into your 3rd house of communication, making the coming year a time to think outside the box, open your mind, travel, teach and communicate your Truth with others. Tap into your deepest passions and creative fire and be prepared to share that with the world. August is a time to deal with details, get organized and be efficient. In mid to late August make sure that what you are being told (or maybe what you are saying) in a home, family or career situation is the Truth. Take the rose-colored glasses off so you can see reality more clearly!
CANCER-
Dear Cancer, July looks to be quite an activating month.
