July Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

You're opening up to new horizons in the face of challenge, Sagittarius, as you reach for greater intimacy with others and with your own inner workings. Surprising and even startling events have become these days not your nightmare but your cup of tea. A time has arrived in your life of brilliant thinking and creative real-world play, which if you take advantage of it is capable of moving you beyond former high-water marks of personal evolution. Financial and other resources, or their lack, are more profoundly influencing you but in a different way than ever before. You are riding the wave of change into an undefined future that is nevertheless more real and more profoundly based in spiritual progress than any you have previously contemplated.

As the month begins, you are feeling the push and pull of contrary and conflicting impulses which are nevertheless serving to guide you into your next phase. Everything in your life right now is brand new, even though you might not fully realize this as yet. There are ways that past conditioning persists far beyond its intended life span, maintaining the illusion of control. Below decks, one part of yourself is working behind the scenes to further your spiritual evolution in spite of all that arises to restrain this impulse. Your creativity is prolific and profound, and it takes you farther along your intended path, as you explore the many ways that you are uniquely constituted. There are many and varied impulses that race through your system and throw you off of one course of action and into another, and these mostly turn out right in the end, especially if you can keep your sense of humor. With another part of your psyche, you are dealing with issues of self and other in an integrated fashion that does not compromise either party but enhances both perspectives. The Last Quarter Moon of Sunday, July 4th, allows you to see the drawbacks as well as the advantages of partnership. You are engaged at this time in storing up received wisdom as you review the events of the past few weeks with an eye to leaning from them. It is important that you recognize what is yours and yours alone, even as you continue to take advantage of the multiplicity of perspectives provided by significant partners in your life and also by the social matrix that surrounds you. The New Moon and Solar eclipse of Sunday, July 11, is major, and helps you to connect to the deeper meaning of the transformation that you are currently engaged in. There is fresh energy for your process, which is essentially an evolutionary process, and also for allowing connection with intimate others in your life to have more scope, as you come into the pure adventure of new beginnings. You might find that there are issues that arise out of the depths of your psyche to haunt you, involving the residue of past trauma. These could perhaps involve home and family and how you have come to conceptualize these terms for yourself, including the tribal nature of the social matrix that surrounds you, and that nourishes you in the same way that family does, helping you to cope. If demons from out of the past do arise, it is in your best interest to fully explore the feelings they engender and to do your best to accept and acknowledge them, for in that way they lose their power to harm you and become instead your friends. The First Quarter Moon of Sunday, July 18th, could be a time of tension for these and other issues, as you adjust to changing circumstances. Roadblocks that you encounter at this time are temporary, and might perhaps have the higher purpose of helping you to see more clearly what you truly need going forward. With the Full Moon of the following weekend, taking place on Sunday, July 25th, you are standing on more solid ground with future plans and with accepting the paradoxes of your situation. This is also a time when internal conflicts might become even more intense. There is a road that is available to you now, which if you can manage to take it leads you past these polarities and into the bliss of a higher perspective that knows no limitations. You can only stay there a little while, for you must constantly return to the everyday world of struggle, circulating back to this dream perspective as you can; but a glimpse of what is possible there might be enough.
