Aquarius Horoscope for July 2013

You are fairly bursting at the seams this month, Aquarius. Something is pulling you to excel and not in the usual ways of the world but with your own voice, although discovering what exactly that might mean for you might be an odyssey in and of itself. Meanwhile you are also, in view of the retrograde of Mercury passing through your sector of higher purpose, thinking carefully in a deep form of meditation regarding the life choices that you have made in the past and where you are now headed with them. Something important is calling you, and it comes from deep inside yourself, and it is uniquely your own. All the talking and purportedly causal thought process of the normative world around you cannot touch it. Only your intuition holds the key.

As the month begins, you are coming off of an intense last June weekend when the Last Quarter Moon highlighted all the outer planets. The Moon itself connected strongly with your co-ruler, Uranus, in your communications sector, making it an exciting time for information flow back and forth, perhaps from some rather deep places within you. Jupiter having entered Cancer, your sixth sector was lit up by a combination of Jupiter, Sun and Mercury, with Mercury Retrograde, and with the Jupiter/Sun midpoint in a grand trine with Saturn and Neptune. Thus, issues of day-to-day concerns and health regimens were then and now continue to be really up for you, colored by a sense of transformational pressure and with the availability of important realizations.

Overall you are receiving a mixture of both tough and generous love on the part of the cosmos. You have been given a real boost of energy over these last few days, leading up to and including July 1st, while also being subject to both a sense of limitation, as symbolized by Saturn at the very top of your chart, and also sensing the idealism implied by nebulous Neptune in your resources sector. The meditative influence implied by the retrograde of Mercury is echoed by the lunar phase that obtains in this first week, of looking back rather than forward, and of attempting to see past events in the light of present knowledge in order to better understand them and in order to take that seed into your next stage.

In fact the entire month of July partakes of this mixed bag of energies. You are being drawn to the inside; there to experience what truly makes you tick, with the result that you come out the other end of the tunnel more whole and better able to deal. The outer world holds its promise and its charm, but what you experience in these inner realms is the underlying piece, without which the outer world becomes a mere superficial phantom and charade. The fresh energy that you feel at the time of the July 8th New Moon lights your way to new partnership perspectives and to a better take as well on your own home base.

With the aid of this retrograde month of inner work you will appreciate more directly the relatively unconscious core of your personality, and be ready to move beyond this initiation to emerge like a butterfly after the first two thirds of the month. You might come into yourself in an entirely new way, sealing the arrangement over the remaining weeks of the summer period, as you head into the further intensity of the fall time frame.
