By the 22nd you should see a remarkable increase in health and energy. Mars, Jupiter and the Sun will have moved away from their stressful aspects and should be starting to make harmonious ones. You feel like a load of lead has been lifted off your shoulders.
Mars’s move into Scorpio and your 8th house of regeneration increases the libido. Whatever your age or stage in life, your libido is stronger than usual, and July is a more sexually active kind of month from the 18th onwards.
Finances are good this month, but not as important as they have been in previous months. Venus, your financial planet is in your 3rd house until the 18th, which indicates that financial opportunity can be found in your neighbourhood and with neighbours and siblings (or sibling figures). It shows earning through retailing, trading, buying and selling. Good marketing – good PR – is important in earnings. On the 18th your financial planet will move into Cancer, your 4th house. This indicates good family support. (Indeed, family support seems good for the past year.) Family connections also seem important in finance. You are spending more on the home and family but can earn from there as well.

Though this is a basically happy month – your 5th house of fun is full of planets and you are still in the midst of a yearly personal pleasure peak – there are a few bumps on the road. Technically there are no eclipses this month. But because many planets are reactivating the eclipse points of April, it is ‘as if’ the month is filled with ‘mini-eclipses’. Things not dealt with at the time of the actual eclipses are being dealt with now. Happily, with much fire in the Horoscope and mostly harmonious aspects, you have the energy to deal with these things.
The Sun transits an eclipse point (in Square aspect) on the 1st and 2nd of the month. Thus children can be more temperamental. They should avoid risky kinds of activities. Sometimes this transit brings power blackouts. You are basically lucky in speculations this month, but it’s probably wise to avoid them on the 1st and 2nd.
Mercury transits this same eclipse point (the Solar Eclipse of April 29) on the 5th and 6th. Be more careful driving. Communications can be unpredictable and equipment is more prone to malfunction. There can be disturbances at the job. Sometimes there are health scares – but health is basically good.
Mars transits this point from the 10th to the 14th, affecting you more personally. Avoid risk taking, confrontations, rush and haste. Spend more quiet time near home.
Venus transits this point from the 18th to the 20th. This can bring short-term financial upheavals and testing times in love. Be more patient with the beloved during this period. Finances and love are actually very good this period but they are more stressful than usual – and good things can be just as stressful as bad things. Finally, Jupiter transits this point from the 24th to the 31st. Avoid gratuitous foreign travel. Many of you will be travelling this month, but try to schedule your trips around this time.
Aries loves adventure, and risk is fundamental to every adventure. Thus this month, with all its ups and downs, is probably exciting and enjoyable for you. There’s never a dull moment.
Last month the planetary power shifted from the East to the West – from the sector of independence to the sector of relationships and other people. Thus personal independence is lessened. This is a cycle for developing social skills and not for personal initiative. There is nothing wrong with personal initiative and nothing wrong with consensus. It is all a matter of what stage of the cycle you’re in. Now your goals are more easily attained through the co-operation of others, not through purely personal effort.

This month the planetary power shifts once again from the bottom half of your Horoscope to the top half. Dawn is breaking in your year. It is sunrise; time to get up, let go of the dream world and make your goals happen by physical means – the methods of the day. If you have used the past few months to good effect, if you have visualized your goals, the actions needed to achieve them should proceed naturally and harmoniously. They will happen as a sort of ‘side effect’ to your inner work of visualization and planning.
During this month and the next the planetary power is in the maximum Western position. This means your social life becomes hyperactive (you begin a yearly social peak on the 23rd) and cultivating the social graces becomes more important. Personal skills and initiative are always important but now the ‘likeability’ factor is important too. Changing conditions arbitrarily is more difficult now, so adapt to them as best you can. A new cycle of independence will begin in late December and it will be easier to make any necessary changes then.
Your health becomes more delicate after the 23rd. The important thing is to watch your energy levels. High energy is the number one defence against disease. A strong aura will repel any microbe. But if the aura weakens – which can easily happen after the 23rd – then problems can occur. You can enhance your health by paying attention to the kidneys and hips until the 28th, and to the colon, bladder and sexual organs after then. Health is a major focus until the 23rd and this is good. Your focus should build strength for afterwards.
Love is good this month. With Uranus in your 1st house for many years to come marriage is probably not advisable, but the opportunities will be there. Venus, your love planet, moves very fast this month through three signs and houses of your Horoscope. This indicates social confidence. You are on the move, covering a lot of ground, making much progress. Until September 5 love is not very serious – just amusement and entertainment. From the 5th to the end of the month Venus will be in Virgo in your 6th house of health and work. This indicates that romantic opportunities happen at work or with co-workers. It can also happen as you pursue your health goals – at your doctor’s surgery or at the health spa. You could be attracted to healers and health practitioners too. Children (or children figures) of the appropriate age also have strong romantic opportunities towards the end of the month.
Finances are also good this month. You have financial confidence and make quick progress. Until the 5th you need to beware of overspending, but afterwards your financial judgement is sound. From the 5th onwards money comes from work – the old-fashioned way. Job seekers have good fortune this month too.

There is a tumultuous but successful month ahead. Many changes are happening both in your personal life and in the world at large. Two eclipses this month practically ensure this.
The Lunar Eclipse of October 8 occurs in your own sign and affects Uranus and Pluto. It is a strong one. Make sure you take it nice and easy during this period.
