JULY
2002 by Bob Mulligan
July is the
"light at the end of the tunnel." The last two months have been
difficult. May and June 2002 were the final assault on our sensibilities
after eight months of unbelievable change. For almost a year now
all of us have been struggling to catch our balance, to somehow
manage our personal lives. With the rules of the games changing
every few weeks our personal lives have been exceeding difficult
to manage. How many times have you changed your mind about something
fairly fundamental? Life has been tough and uncertain. Now, finally,
we will slowly start to stabilize now. Overall, our difficulties
are lessening in intensity.
July begins
with the Sun, Jupiter, and Mars all in Cancer, sign of home and
family. Generally, we are all feeling pretty positive now. It's
as if everyone's mind is racing like a top. This is a great time
for rechecking your foundations and basic assumptions about life.
After all, we have a lot of changes in world culture to assimilate
now. Thinking, planning, and organizing are recurring themes all
month. Reflection and self-examination are also part of this July.
You will know more about yourself in August than you knew in June.
July begins
on an emotional note on Monday the 1st as the Moon makes a trine
to Jupiter then floats "void of course" until moving into Aries
(sign of beginnings).
Tuesday the
2nd Mercury (Planet of thinking) is conjunct Saturn (discipline),
and parallel Jupiter (abundance). This is a great time to get organized.
On the 3rd Mercury
parallel Saturn, Venus sextile Saturn, Mars conjunct Jupiter. Optimism
knows no bounds right now. Emotionally we are on the edge of great
expectations. A little common sense can keep us in good balance.
Mercury parallels
Mars and sesquiqradrates Neptune on the 4th . Enthusiasm and fantasy
promises to make today both creative and productive. Accomplishment
is the special flavor of the day.
On Friday the
5th we are prompted to take a few bold steps as the Sun sextiles
the Moon. Entering the weekend we prepare to relax and pay attention
to our needs for rest. Enjoyment and fun may be at the top of the
list for the first time in a while.
Mercury trines
Uranus on the 6th. Let your mind take some great steps today. Innovate,
it's the perfect time to develop new habits, procedures, or a whole
new approach to some aspect of your life. Good news can life your
spirits today.
Sunday the 7th
we have Mercury entering Cancer. Organize, rest, communicate. Much
can be done behind the scenes.
On July 8th
Mars parallels Saturn. We measure carefully where our energy goes.
It's a good time to monitor carefully what we wish to accomplish.
Our feelings
can be quite stirred up on the 9th as Venus (Goddess of love) opposes
Uranus (Excitement). Its hard to sit still when we are intensely
passionate about something in our life. However, it doesn't seem
like this is the best time to act on our sentiments.
The New Moon
occurs at 18 degrees of Cancer at 6:27am EDT on the 10th. If you
are awake, spend some quiet time, meditate. Venus enters Virgo showing
rewards through practical concerns. However, Venus is also making
a contra-parallel to Uranus showing spontaneous and creative emotions
in us are searching for new heights. Inner conflict helps us develop
a fresh approach to old problems.
Venus contra-parallels
Pluto on the 11th. Today, quick maneuvers can give us long lasting
results.
On the 12th
the Sun Parallels Saturn, Mercury quincunxes Neptune, and Mars parallels
Jupiter. Slow, careful execution of well conceived and timely plans
can open opportunities that have escaped our attention before. Rapid
progress is possible. Projects begun during the first few days of
July can reach conclusion now.
On Saturday
the 13th, Mars moves into Leo and Mercury sesquiquadrates Uranus.
Confidence is high. Self-assuredness and inventive thoughts create
an atmosphere where new milestones are possible.
Hold yourself
to a moral code without preaching to others and Sunday the 14th
goes smoothly. Mars (God of War) is in hard aspect to Pluto (Lord
of the underworld). But Mercury (Messenger of the Gods) makes a
quincunx Pluto. Timely information can stop us from making a mistake.
Monday the 15th
the Sun semi-sextiles Saturn. We can establish good foundations
for a long term project today, if our beginning considerations are
carefully conceived. Also, today is good for terminating relationships
that are unsatifying or uncomfortable.
On the 16th
the Sun squares the Moon. Other people can have us trapped between
out emotional needs and our desire for harmony.
The Sun parallels
Jupiter on the 17th. Emotional optimism and feelings of fulfillment
get us going on things that are important to us today.
Thursday the
18th Mercury semi-sextiles Saturn. Minor corrections help us stay
on course today.
We may feel
lucky on the 19th. The Sun conjuncts Jupiter. If we know what we
really want, if we are honest with ourselves, much can be accomplished.
Focus on the achievable.
On the 20th
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter, both the Sun and Mercury quincunx Uranus.
Later, the Sun conjuncts Mercury. We complete and achieve. We want
more but, it is a gift to be satisfied with what we have.
Sunday the 21st
we have Mercury paralleling Saturn just before entering Leo. Thinking
and more thinking. Be open to correction. Hardening into place makes
it difficult to change important opinions in ourselves and in others.
The Sun crosses
into Leo on Monday the 22nd. Optimistic support is all around us.
Believe in yourself. Now is the time to step forward in a big way.
On the 23rd
the Sun makes a hard aspect to Pluto, Jupiter quincunxes Uranus,
and Mercury parallels Jupiter. Unrecognized emotions force themselves
to the surface of consciousness. Did you know you felt this way?
Discovering more about yourself is always good.
On the 24th
we have a Full Moon at 1 Aquarius 18 minutes a 5:08am EDT. Also
Venus squares Pluto. It is always nice to meditate at the time of
the Full Moon. Avoid being stubborn and you may in fact be able
to help others that really need you.
As Mercury conjuncts
Mars on the 25th, thoughts explode. Channel your actions correctly
and much can be accomplished.
On the 26th
Mercury semi-squares Saturn and opposes Neptune. Also the Sun parallels
Mercury. It requires discipline and self knowledge but the way to
make today creative is to have faith in yourself and others while
avoid acting on wishful thinking.
On the 27th
Mercury parallels Mars. Work or recreation can feel quite pleasurable
today. Accomplishing one thing then starting in a new direction
can be the pattern in which we move today.
Who you are
and who you think you are may be far apart on the 28th. Strive to
know yourself better. Activity is more fun than meditating today
but the latter is what you need to not waste your time. Mars (energy)
makes a parallel to the Sun (ego), a semi-square to Saturn (discipline),
and opposes Neptune (culture).
On the 29th
Mercury trines Pluto, Sun trines Moon, Mercury contra-parallels
Neptune, Saturn sesquiquadrates Neptune. You can see all the way
to the bottom of something you have been working on. Some aspect
of your work may indeed be a clear reflection of you. Take note
today, important information is yours for the asking.
