Last month on the 21st the Sun moved into your 4th house and will spend most of the month ahead in this house. This shows many things. Career issues can be downplayed (your career planet, Saturn, has been retrograde since late March). This is a time to focus on the home and family and get this in right order. It is an excellent period – especially until the 12th – to redecorate, paint and beautify the home. It is a better time for cosmetic changes than for heavy repairs. It’s also a good period in which to buy objects of beauty for the home (if you need them). Getting the family relations right will not only help you later in your career, but it also improves the love life and finances.
But there’s much more to power in the 4th house than these mundane issues. Most people are held back in life because of old emotional baggage. Old traumas that might still be active, or negative memories – or more scientifically, destructive records in the memory body. When these get activated they produce negative states of mind – fear, worry, anger, grief, etc. Many so-called sicknesses (the symptoms of sickness) have their roots in the memory body. So, every year, the cosmos, in its wisdom, arranges natural therapy. It arranges for old memories to arise again so that they can be dealt with and resolved from the present state of mind. Opinions that were made, for example, at the age of three under some trauma or stress are not necessarily ‘truth’. The three-year-old made opinions from a three-year-old state of mind. When these are looked at from the present they are seen to be false and thus can be discharged and rendered harmless. It is OK for the three-year-old to form three-year-old opinions, but it’s not so good when a forty-year-old holds these opinions.
So your feelings of nostalgia, your dreams of the past, your encounters with people from your past are all part of a therapeutic agenda. Old issues will get resolved and you’ll be ready to move forward to your next step. When you can think of a past trauma or past relationship and smile and be emotionally calm, you know you’re healed.
Those of you undergoing therapy should make very good progress this month.
Health still needs watching this month until the 20th. As always, the most important thing is to get enough rest. If you have any pre-existing conditions, these can seem worse at this period, but more rest should clear the issue. You can enhance the health through better diet and psychological therapies, until the 14th. After that give more attention to the heart. Happiness itself is a great healing force, as you will learn after the 14th. A night out on the town might do you as much good as a visit to the doctor.

You have been in an independent state of mind since the beginning of the year. On June 21 the planetary power shifted from the independent East to the social West. Hopefully, by now, you’ve used your enhanced personal power to create pleasing conditions for yourself. But now it is time to let go of self-interest and focus on others. It’s time to take a vacation from yourself. The planetary power is moving away from you and towards others. Your personal abilities are not the issue these days. Likeability, your ability to get on with others, is the most important thing. Your social skills will bring you what pure ability can’t, so it is time to develop these skills. Your good is dependent on others and their goodwill. Put others first and your own good will come to you very naturally.
On July 20 the Sun entered your 5th house of fun and creativity and you began a yearly personal pleasure peak. This goes on until the 22nd of this month. It is time to enjoy life. Time to have some fun. Time to enjoy the money that you have and spend it on leisure activities (according to what you can afford). It is time to be more creative too. You have special abilities to handle children and children figures in your life these days too. There is much we can learn from them – especially on how to enjoy life. It is said that an adult can’t really enjoy life to the fullest. The adult has too many cares, worries and plans. It is the child that is truly joyous. This is a good month to get more in touch with your inner child.
Love is happy this month. You have been more carefree about it since mid-July. Even children and children figures in your life are having a happy social life. If they are of appropriate age, romance is likely – especially on the 15th and 16th. For singles there are happy romantic opportunities from the 26th to the 28th. For those already in a relationship this period shows more romance within the relationship.
You’ve had wonderful job aspects all year, and this month they get even better. Job seekers have good fortune and even those already employed can have offers of better jobs.
Health is good this month. After the 20th you seem very focused here, which makes it a very good period to get your health regime in order. If you’re making important changes make them before the 30th, when Mercury, your health planet, starts to retrograde.
Speculations have been favourable since July 12. However, after the 5th money comes the old-fashioned way through hard work – generally through your job. Extra money can be earned through ‘side jobs’ from the 5th onwards (and these opportunities will come).

This is an eventful and tumultuous kind of month. Active. Hectic. Filled with change.
First off, there will be two eclipses this month – these practically guarantee dramatic change. Aside from this, Jupiter makes a major move into your 7th house of love on the 10th. Both the month and year ahead are strongly romantic. Then, on the 22nd, the planetary power shifts from the lower half of the chart to the upper half. This signals a psychological shift in you. Hopefully, by now, you’ve found your point of emotional harmony. You’ve brought the home and family into order. Now it is time to focus on the career and your outer objectives. Your career planet Saturn started to move forward on the 18th of last month, so there is now mental clarity and good forward momentum. Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, spends the month ‘out of bounds’ and will ‘pause’ in the heavens from the 19th to the 28th. This pause is a good thing. With all the excitement going on this is a pause that refreshes. You need to get your bearings.
The solar eclipse of the 1st is a strong one, so make sure you have a nice easy schedule. Avoid risky, high stress kinds of activities – reschedule them for a better time. The eclipse not only impacts on the Sun, but on Mars and Saturn as well. It occurs in your 6th house of health and work, indicating job changes and changes in the conditions of work. These changes can happen within your present company or with a new one. (The impact on Saturn reinforces this – it shows career changes too.) There will also be changes in the health regime – dramatic ones. Sometimes this kind of eclipse brings a health scare. However, your overall health
