July Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

You are in for some serious fun this monthly cycle, Sagittarius. You must yield up any preconception of what is in store as you explore yet another new edge for yourself in a culmination of recent developments. You are fundamentally optimistic while still remembering � as you dream large � to cross the T�s and dot the i�s of the necessary details of life. The world is not as you have always known it but is far richer, and far stranger. The very grounding of your being has been pulled out from under you and it�s disconcerting. An unexpected blessing awaits you though when you dig down deep into your process, as you find your fear and then proceed to move beyond it.

As the month begins, you are exploring further aspects of intimacy, both with major partners in your life and, more importantly, with yourself. You are also investigating what it means in terms of mission statement to be you, on this planet and at this time, rather than anyone else; how best to proceed toward that which you came into the life to accomplish. Your ongoing transformation of values is not complete and you will likely reach another major phase in the course of this current monthly cycle. The Solar Eclipse and New Moon of Friday, July 1st, energizes you from the very beginning of the month to renewed personal evolution, and encourages you to try harder for breakthrough. You are simultaneously reaching out to new levels of self-expression and at the same time holding back with a traditionalist approach that wars with your more flamboyant impulses. This conservative streak could be a considered a useless remnant of old conditioning or else a grounded counterbalance to what could be taking you away from your center into unplanned excursions and unforeseen consequences. You are reaching for your highest purpose for yourself moving forward, so that these considerations become quite important in taking the long view of what you are currently up to. The First Quarter Moon of late Thursday evening and early Friday morning, July 7th and 8th, might also test you somewhat. Your core sense of security is threatened, so that you will have to find a new basis before you are through. Conflicts could arise within close interpersonal relationships, or you might find that old patterns of behavior from the long-dead past are rearing their heads at this juncture. These ancient behaviors are no longer appropriate to level of development of your present era. By accepting yourself in these dark places you give yourself permission to move beyond them. The Full Moon of late Thursday and early Friday morning, July 14th and 15th, signals a time of reaching for a balance point between self and other, and of taking a stand for what you truly believe. You are intently exploring how your actions can come to be in greater alignment with your higher purpose in being here at all. Relationship with significant partners comes into the picture now as a reflection of your own process of growth and development. With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, July 22nd, you are entering what is traditionally considered a quiet time of reflection as you consider how the previous three weeks of this important cycle might come to be understood. The past forms a gateway to the future, a frame for finding the deeper meaning of the events unfolding in your life.
