July Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aries Horoscope (March 21 - April 19)
Cardinal Fire. Your ruling planet is Mars.

You are feeling the fires of transformation, Aries. This month the evolutionary pressure mounts and the choices become more limited, stark and clear. Home and family are extremely important. You are delving into the internal basis for everything that you do, discovering the power of right relationship and a return to classic values. You are determined at this time to be all that you can be, even if this requires moving mountains. You are fantastically idealistic at this time but also cognizant of the practical limitations of the situation, as difficult as they might be to fully comprehend. There is nowhere to go but up.

As the month begins, you are feeling the energy for change all around you, and especially in terms of business goals and personal relationships. There is no doubt that you find yourself in the midst of a powerfully transformative period of time, both for yourself and for society, and for your family or extended familial tribe. The proverbial notion certainly applies of crisis as equal to danger plus opportunistic new beginning. There is no difficult situation that cannot be perceived as a powerful opportunity to rise above and you build your moral fiber while doing so. In fact each character-defining moment turns out to be a difficult one. The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of the second week of July, coming along on Tuesday, July 7th, might bring these reflections to a boiling point. You are on one hand entirely optimistic at this time, almost naively so, and yet with another part of your mind you are simultaneously suspicious and watching for some potential pitfall to manifest. You could choose to just relax as much as possible and take whatever happens as it comes. Itís certain that no good thing comes without struggle. Every moment represents either something weighted down by the un-alive burden of past conditioning or else it is a chance to breathe life into circumstances that are in some ways beyond your control, by your very attitude to what is going on. Everything is possible for you right now only it takes enormous faith in the universe to pull it off. The Last Quarter Moon of the 15th represents in some ways a further trial, when you are mediating between optimism and despair, and taking up the gleanings of what you have learned from experience as grist for the mill of change that surrounds you. Communication becomes vitally important for you now, both for support from loving partners in your life and as a way of seeing more clearly your own process. You are delving into the silent depths of your innermost nature at this time so that it will become a springboard for further activity. With the New Moon of the evening of Tuesday, July 21st, which is another eclipse and therefore another quite powerful lunation, you are ready to explode upon the world stage with increased moxie and idealism and with the joyful and sometimes painful wisdom of what you have learned from everything that has gone before.
