发帖数: 19 | 1 Cancer Horoscope for July 2011
By Susan Miller
This could turn out to be a major turning point month for you, for planets
will be speaking very clearly and loudly. The last eclipse in a long series
of eclipses that have come by in Cancer-Capricorn is due July 1. It's a
solar eclipse - a very potent a new moon - arriving at 9 degrees Cancer.
This is sure to have strong impact, for this is a new moon, and that
signifies that a new path is about to open now. Full moon eclipses end
things, like the one we experienced last month, June 15, but the one coming
now in Cancer is a new moon, and will create a new trend that will be in
place months, and even years from now.
Everyone, of every sign is likely to feel this particular eclipse, but
especially you if you were born on or within five days of July 1, or if you
have planets in your natal chart in cardinal signs at 9 degrees (or very
close, within two degrees of a cardinal sign.) Cardinal signs are Aries,
Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn.
If you were NOT born near July 1, and have no planets at 7-11 degrees of a
cardinal sign, you may only feel a mild influence from this eclipse. Still,
chances are, you will notice something. This eclipse, July 1, is about what
YOU want for yourself - not what someone else thinks you should want, but
perhaps reflects hopes, desires, or changes you've long wanted to make but
for any number of reasons pushed aside. This eclipse is a strong one, so you
won't be able to push aside those thoughts much longer.
An eclipse in one's own sign always signals a time to take stock and have a
look at life with fresh eyes. Often we are too busy with the affairs of life
to notice that we are evolving, maturing, and changing, so we often need an
event to make us stop in our tracks and think about what needs to be
deleted, changed, or added to life. Eclipses are famous for ending
situations that have no future, and they help us fix things that are broken.
They are also known to push us to do more with valuable relationships and
situations and get them to the next level of sophistication. If you took
something or someone for granted, you won't after this eclipse. If someone
took you for granted, they will have a rude awakening, for you will show
that under no uncertain terms do you find this behavior acceptable. If
someone deliberately hid information from you, the eclipse, with its ability
to brilliantly floodlight facts, will illuminate that information in a way
you won't be able to ignore.
Life is often so busy, with so many responsibilities, that it never feels
like a good time to drop everything and make some big changes - it's so much
easier to talk yourself into thinking, "It's not so bad." The universe
knows it is human nature to put off major decisions that might be painful or
difficult to make, and every so often will send an eclipse to force us to
look closer and see the reality of the situation. That is happening now.
As said, this is the last of the eclipses in Cancer-Capricorn, so after this
, you will not need to worry that something, or someone, will jump out from
behind a potted plant to give you full disclosure on something you never
knew or failed to see, even if it was right in front of your nose. The next
eclipse in your sign will arrive in July 2018, seven years from now!
Health matters often come up as a result of an eclipse, so watch how you
feel. It always pays to watch closely and not dismiss anything, no matter
how trivial it may seem to be. In my own life, I knew my Little Mom was to
experience a full moon lunar eclipse directly on her birthday last month,
June 15. That's not good for health. My sister, Mom's aide (Annie), and I
all noticed Little Mom was sleeping a lot more than usual. She had no fever
however, and although she wasn't eating much, she was eating enough to be
healthy and seemed otherwise OK. I asked her doctor to come see her at the
house (yes, we have a nice doctor who will make house calls under certain
circumstances in Manhattan.) I asked that he run some blood tests. My Little
Mom will never complain, so it really is up to us to figure out what's
wrong when she seems a little "off."
A day later he was on the phone with me screaming, "Her white cells are up
to 38,000!" He was talking as if I knew what that he meant, but listening to
the panic in his voice, I knew we had a very urgent situation to deal with
quickly. He continued, "Get her to the hospital ER now - she has an
infection and needs an IV drip of antibiotics immediately!" As it turned out
, it seems we caught things in time, and although she's still in the
hospital as I write this report to you, she should come out just fine. My
point in telling you this is that knowing astrologic trends really does give
you an edge. At eclipse time, pay attention to health matters in you and in
your Cancer friends or relatives, especially if your birthday, or theirs,
falls near July 1. If you see any subtle changes that seem odd, enlist help.
The reason I feel concerned about this eclipse is that it will be surrounded
with angry planets that all will be in cardinal signs. In order to have a
cardinal cross, you need one planet from each of the four cardinal signs (
Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn), all within a tight mathematical pattern,
each within approximately 90 degrees from each other. Remarkably, that's
what we have now.
Pluto, in Capricorn, will oppose the Sun and moon in Cancer, indicating a
partner (romantic or business in nature) is likely to come across quite
heavy-handed. This person could be your spouse or live-in lover, a good
client, agent, or business partner. Pluto in tough angle always spells "
unfair" so you may be outraged by the demands of this person. Meanwhile
Saturn in Libra at the bottom of your solar chart will add pressure at home,
in terms of concern for a parent, or in regard to a property or residential
situation that is suddenly in need of your urgent attention. As a result of
this eclipse, you may have to swing into action on the home front to fix a
developing situation.
If that were not enough, Uranus in Aries, now in your lofty career sector,
will get in the act too, adding completely unexpected professional news that
may make you reassess your future, or even your future involvement in your
present career. Rather than put more time and money into a situation that
will apparently require a lot more effort, you may decide to cut your losses
and leave. Or, your boss may quit and you may wonder how things will play
out now that you no longer have your boss there to protect your interests.
Your nerves may be on edge by what comes up - don't have too much scheduled
so that you can divert your attention when necessary.
All the planets mentioned, Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn, will center their
angry direct rays on the Sun and new moon, indicating a financial situation
may be brewing that will affect several areas of your life. They will be
also affecting the new moon in Cancer, which means you may begin to see
yourself differently, and even change your perspective too, which will allow
you to make greater changes.
Cancer generally goes not like change. The moon rules your sign and teaches
you to look back and treasure your memories tenderly (one of your most
lovable qualities, dear Cancer). You love tradition, and you tend to hold
stability in high esteem. However, the moon also makes you tend to second-
guess yourself a lot, and that is not useful for helping you make sweeping
changes when necessary. This month, however, you may have little choice but
to do so when events from the outside world come to change your life and
help you see many things in a new way.
When we have a cardinal cross we have to face problems squarely and plan a
response. There's no ignoring the situation any longer. Eclipses tend to be
non-negotiable too, so you can't quite go back and try to get things put
back to the way they were. When we have a mutable cross (of so-called
mutable signs of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces) we can talk and debate
our way out of difficulties. A grand fixed cross (Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, or
Aquarius) is just as it sounds - a fait accompli or "must do" dictate.
Cardinal signs are more like fixed crosses, but only much more pressing and
urgent in that they demand we enter new territory and try new approaches.
Talking won't help, but action will. Delete tired old approaches that really
won't fit the circumstances anymore and step boldly into your new future!
Nineteen years ago, on June 30, 1992 (or July 1, depending on your time zone
) we had a similar eclipse at 9 degrees Cancer. Although the aspects were
tough, we didn't have a severe cardinal cross. We had five planets in
opposition to each other in cardinal signs, which was a handful in its own
right, and the solar eclipse was the same degree, but it was somewhat easier
than this eclipse. See if you can remember anything that happened that
summer, June-July 1992. (It does for me, big time.) No circumstance in
astrology is ever repeated in exact carbon copy, but you may be able to
think of themes that came up then that might arise again now.
Last month I wrote a lot about the July 1 eclipse, so you may want to re-
read your June forecast for more thoughts that I had for you. If you don't
see news delivered this month, within days of July 1, you may near August 1,
as often an eclipse will take one month (plus or minus four days) to
deliver the news. (You may have had some important news around June 1 too,
as often an eclipse brings news one month earlier, plus or minus four days.)
Also watch August 16-17 when Mars reaches 9 degrees, the same degree as this
eclipse. Add plus or minus three days. Technically, an eclipse can deliver
news any time within a six-month period but mid-August will be a very vital
time to look for either new messages or additional information from the July
1 eclipse. Early July and mid-August would not be the best time for distant
travel, so plan to stay home, as too much will be going on to try to
control it from afar.
In case you did not see much happening at the eclipse last month on June 1
or June 15, you may want to pay attention this month to what occurs on July
6 (for the June 1 eclipse) and July 26 (for the June 15 eclipse) to deliver
new or additional news. Again, add a plus or minus of four days.
Now let's look at other events of this month.
The full moon, July 15, should be the easier and calmer moment of the month,
as compared with the solar eclipse July 1. Whatever came up in the first
week of July will now seem easier to cope with and control. It appears by
July 15, plus or minus four days, you may be well on your way to developing
a plan, and a relationship will be at the center of your thinking. This full
moon will focus you on making a serious commitment or partnership. You may
get engaged or married, and if so, it's a great time to do so.
This full moon falls at 22 degrees Capricorn, the sign that falls 6 months
from yours, therefore emphasizing partners in a relationship rather than you
. Alternatively, you may set up a business alliance - either marriage or
business ties involve signing papers. This suggests the weekend of July 16-
17 could turn out to be a big one for you!
If your birthday falls on July 15, or within five days of this date, this
full moon will be quite a powerful one for you, and you will feel it more
than the eclipse July 1.
Next month Mercury will be retrograde from August 2-26, so you are best to
make your biggest initiations now, or else wait until Mercury, planet of
communication, contractual agreements, and commerce, is back in good order
in September. When Mercury is retrograde, it's best to follow routine
activities, or go back to things you had put aside to do later, like now!
I would not want you to get engaged or married, sign a contract, take a new
position, or enter into any other big commitments while Mercury is
retrograde in August. Do not shop for big items like a computer or a car,
and don't close on a house. Get things done in July, or wait until September
for best results. If you are going to college, try to sign up for classes
before all the spots are taken, in July if possible.
What if you are due to marry in August and all the invitations are sent out
already? I have a friend whose husband would not let her move the wedding
date to a time when Mercury was not retrograde. My friend knew Mercury
retrograde was traditionally a terrible time to marry. However, she did get
him to agree to have a simple wedding ceremony by a justice of the peace at
New York's City Hall prior to the real church wedding. Two friends acted as
witnesses, and they promised complete secrecy. No one, to this day, knows
the couple was married one month prior to their lavish ceremony in Tuscany,
and well in advance of the turn of Mercury retrograde. To this day, they
celebrate their "real" wedding - the day their friends and family attended
in Tuscany - which is not really the real day at all. No matter! All's well
that ends well!
Mars will spend a lot of time in your twelfth house this month, considered a
house where much planning takes place, often in confidence. This means you
might not be able to talk about a project, plan, or relationship yet, but
will soon. Once Mars reaches Cancer on August 3, you will be ready to tell
others what you've been doing.
The period of August 3 to September 18 will be very powerful, as Mars will
be in Cancer. Still, as much as you'd like to rush out of the gate and be
very assertive in August, you'll have to be patient, as the world won't be
ready for you or your ideas at that time. That means you can work
effectively by yourself in August but not talk about what you are doing
until September. It also means the period from September 1 to 18 will be
extra strong and vital for you, dear Cancer. Be ready!
July closes on a wonderful new moon in Leo, July 30. This one surprised me
with its graceful beauty and sweet cooperation among some key planets when I
first studied it last year, while I was writing "The Year Ahead 2011." It
is one of my favorites of the year, for everyone will be able to see
progress and come up with some good ideas.
The July 30 new moon falls in Leo 7 degrees, and lights your second house of
earned income. Jupiter, Pluto, and Mercury will be all in rare harmony,
suggesting this will be the very best time to ask for a raise, or to seek
new clients, if self-employed. You may also negotiate a new salary for a new
position, but do so any time AFTER this new moon appears. This new moon
will be dedicated to helping you see more money come into your bank account.
Romantically, this month could go either way. If the eclipse affects your
closest relationship in a negative way, obviously you'll say it is not a
good time for romance. However, if you get engaged or married, it will be a
wonderful time. A lot depends on how your relationship has been going all
along, and how honest your partner has been with you during your
relationship.
It's common for eclipse time to be a time of extremes. It is like the
universe takes a moment to give you a vivid snapshot of your life, pushing
events to either end of the spectrum, exciting or dreadful, so you can see
it clearly. If you are single and not dating, you might not feel any
difficult challenges at all, although it is possible you could meet someone
new.
Venus will enter Cancer on July 4 until July 28, making your charms much
more visible. You may decide to update your looks now by getting a haircut,
new makeup for women, new fragrance - even new clothes, eyeglasses,
sunglasses, and other things related to your style, look, and identity. You
could not wish for a better time to do so with Venus at your side, so if you
want to freshen up your look, head to the salon, the department store, or
the eyewear store and have fun doing so.
Your best day for love will be Thursday, July 7, when Jupiter and Pluto will
be beautifully oriented - Pluto rules your fifth house of true love, so
this is due to be a banner day! Be out and about!
July 9-10 will be terrific for romance too, when Venus in Cancer sends a
signal to Jupiter in compatible Taurus, sure to be a very special weekend
for your love life.
Your most romantic evenings: July 4, 9, 10, 15 (wild card, full moon), 23-24
, and 27-28.
If you should break up with a partner this month (and I am not saying you
will but IF you do), be comforted in knowing that the road ahead will be
much more stable. The job of an eclipse is to give you information you need
to protect yourself. If you have always had a strong relationship, you will
feel no waves this month.
There will be no more eclipses due in the Cancer-Capricorn family of signs
until mid-2018, dear Cancer. You have had eclipses focused on your sign
since July 2009 and as of July 1, you will be done!
___________________________________
A footnote: I always recommend that you check your natal chart, but it
occurred to me that you may have never had your natal chart drawn up. I will
stop for a moment to tell you how you can get your chart done affordably if
you don't already have it. You can order a 65-page custom book I will write
for you. To order, just go to my other website, http://www.MyPersonalHoroscope.com
You will want the "purple-yellow" cover book for the adult natal chart. (We
have one for babies too, and that is the pink cover). You will need your
precise time of birth - if you don't know your time of birth and can't find
it out, then I will use sunrise as the default. It takes an about two weeks
to get your finished book by mail.
Your natal chart will never change, so you need only do this once. In your
custom made bound book that I write, you will discover all your planets,
their degrees, as well as the identity of your rising sign - it will be
clearly marked for you to see. Once you know it, remember to ALWAYS read for
your rising sign (also known as the ascendant) as well as your Sun sign.
The Sun and rising signs are equal in importance and should be treated the
same way.
Note: If you choose sunrise default, you cannot discover your rising sign,
but you CAN find out all the placements of your planets, Sun, and a
suggestion of your moon sign. Many readers have ordered this book and love
it, for it is written in my usual clear, warm, and easy to understand style.
I feel once you have your chart, you will get so much more out of your
monthly readings on Astrology Zone!

Summary
The solar eclipse in Cancer will bring changes, and they will be even more
dramatic if your birthday falls within four days of July 1. You will begin
to see yourself through a new lens, and your whole life's direction is
likely to evolve and morph into something new. Your past is done, and you
will turn away from that - a new chapter is forming. You'll want to set new
priorities and revisit old goals. Eclipses bring information and
enlightenment, and it will be a very busy time. Cancers not born close to
July 1 will feel affects in a milder way.
This eclipse will be at hard angles to Pluto, so your relationship with
someone close may be quite strained and you may feel pushed to the limits by
this person's attitude and assertive stance. The person in question may be
a romantic partner, or one you work with in business.
Saturn is not due to cooperate either with the July 1 eclipse, so home /
family or concern for a child may come up and add another twist to all that
is being discussed. A property or family situation will need to be
considered. Nothing will be easy to solve, which is why you must not have an
overly packed schedule - you will need an elastic schedule to simply sit
down and think if necessary.
All month, protect your health carefully, as eclipses in your own sign
always highlight latent weaknesses that must be addressed.
By the full moon July 15, you will need a plan to deal with the relationship
in question. If you feel you cannot suggest a plan, your partner will
suggest one, or things will be decided for you, a less attractive option.
One way or another, things will be back on track. Matters will come to a
very quick conclusion, and although you may not be completely satisfied with
the way things end, they will, and you can move forward.
In another manifestation of the full moon, July 15, plus or minus five days,
you may sign a new client or business partner, or you may get engaged or
married. It's a good time to do so. Did you know that 80 percent or so of
brides marry within six weeks of their birthday? It's because the Sun
conjunct the Sun is so powerful and favorable.
A lot will be expressed behind the scenes this month, in confidence, either
without your knowledge or with it, but if you are included you will want to
keep what you hear under wraps. Once Mars moves into Cancer early next month
, you will be fully informed of all details and can sort out all the changes
gradually, with the aim of having plans in place by September.
The new moon July 30 will be great for seeing an increase in salary. Just
after that new moon arrives, be quick to discuss possibilities for a raise.
If you need to make more and there are no options where you work, then go
and entertain offers from other firms. This new moon is an unusually lovely
one, positive in every way. More money is earmarked for you, but to get it
you will need to reach for it. Make calls, have meetings.
Single and unattached Cancers may or may not sidestep the difficulties of
the July 1 eclipse. Venus will do her share to help your love life by moving
through your constellation of Cancer, from July 4 to July 28. This will
keep you feeling attractive and loved. When Mars moves into Cancer in early
August, you will make even more waves. Your time is coming, and if you
should break up with someone, know that others down the road will appreciate
you so much more.
Cancer Dates to Note
Most romantic evenings: July 4, 9, 10, 15 (wild card, full moon), 23-24, and
27-28.
Venus tours Cancer July 4 until July 28.
The solar eclipse of July 1 may affect you very directly if your birthday
falls on that date or within four days.
This July 1 eclipse will help you see yourself in a new light, when one or
more elements of your life dramatically change. Watch these areas for one to
become active: relationships, career, money, health and/ or home-related
issues.
A partnership promise or negotiation will be settled by the full moon, July
1. What happens now may be related to the events of the new moon July 1 or
the earlier eclipse six months ago, January 4. It's time to make a pact or
promise to a partner, or to decide to leave.
In your career, Uranus' turn retrograde on July 9 may hold up progress a
little while. Spend time tweaking what you've already built until Uranus
normalizes his orbit December 10.
When the Sun and Uranus trade friendly signals, expect fabulous career news
that you've had in progress: July 27.
If you are hoping to increase your income, the new moon eclipse of July 30
will be your moment to act. Be fast, as Mercury will retrograde August 2, so
the sooner you initiate your request for a raise or negotiate the salary
for a new position, the better. |
