Many Happy Returns of the Day!
Just for fun:
It's the start of your new year! Happy birthday, dear Cancer! The new moon that arrived late last month on June 25 gave you a big push of energy, doubly so if your birthday falls on this date or close to it. No matter when your birthday falls, you will want to push your plans forward, but guess what - you don't have to work so hard this month.
Let things sit a bit. You may feel a bit indecisive, for you are beginning to see the complexities that form the underpinnings of the new venture that you are about to begin. Let your plans rattle around your head but don't put pressure on yourself to meet a deadline if that's possible. Play with ideas and expand your options. This is not the month for anyone to make any big decisions, and certainly not you. Delays will benefit you, for Mercury will be retrograde in Cancer from July 4 to 29.
You may be wondering if you can get important matters done quickly as July begins, to sign contracts or to make key agreements and decisions before Mercury turns retrograde. Alas, no, don't. It is already too late to do that. You began to feel the undertow of the Mercury retrograde period in mid-June, so I probably don't have to do much to convince you that this is not the time to do so. If you do, you will later wish you had done things very differently, or not at all.
On the other end, don't dive into your schedule again on July 29 either. The worst days of the month will fall on the start and end dates of Mercury retrograde, so give a few extra days on either side to let the dust settle. Begin normal activities in early August, after August 5 if possible.
Mercury is the planet of reasoning, perception, agreements, contracts, research, communication, and transportation / shipping. While this planet is out of phase, as it will be in July, all these areas tend to go haywire. It is never advisable to buy anything expensive during these phases, especially electronic items or those with moving parts (like a car). It's also not a good time to make any long-term promises, plans, or agreements, for later you will likely regret having gone into the venture. The fact that Mercury will move backward in Cancer only will reinforce this trend more.
While you wait for life to normalize and plans to jell, you certainly have other great things going on! Romance will be positively fabulous for you!
Jupiter, the planet of abundance, has been touring your fifth house of true love for many months, but this expansive planet of happiness has not gone to bat for you up until now. That all will change now, on July 6, when Jupiter will move from retrograde to direct orbit.
Watch the days surrounding July 6 - you should see some positive developments in love or romance, or in regard to your children or a pregnancy. Also on this day, the Sun and Uranus will cooperate beautifully, so you may find out that soon you'll be taking a long trip to a place where you'll spin a very happy memory. No matter why you go, you'll be glad to be on your way.
There is another big reason you should be excited about your prospects for love and fun. Venus will visit Cancer from July 18 until August 12, giving you an enormous edge in matters of the heart. You'll want to look your best, for when Venus is behind you, it is not very necessary to push or try very hard. In fact, playing hard to get (even if you are a guy) would be just right in this bright time of the month.
If you have been dating a long time, the middle of the month, in the days surrounding July 8 - 10, could be outstandingly special. The full moon will fall on July 10 in your opposite sign of Capricorn, brilliantly lighting your partnership sector. You might decide to get engaged or married, or simply talk seriously about the future. Because Mercury is retrograde, it would not quite be the time to seal anything just yet, if possible, but you certainly can talk.
As an aside - veering off romance for a second - if you are married, you may decide on a new goal together with your significant other. Or, you may use this full moon in a business sense and decide to sign an agent or business partner. Next month - August - make all your plans official. This full moon will help you come to closure, and I feel you'll love the results - Jupiter will be nicely angled to this moon. Uranus will be too, which suggests you will be surprised by the developments.
If you were born on July 11, plus or minus five days, this could be a very big moment of the month for you.
If you are single or attached, one of your luckiest days for love will be July 26 when Venus and Jupiter send you a big kiss - a party or even a simple gathering should be red-hot fun.
Another red-letter day for romance (a bit better if you are single) will be July 30. Uranus will work with Venus, and a chance meeting of a new cutie could happen while traveling or studying. (This shows that if you opted to register for summer classes, things might become more interesting than you initially supposed!)
Attached to one person? You'll need to make a major decision about this relationship at the full moon July 10, plus or minus three days. This sounds ominous, but it's not - you hold all the winning cards! Jupiter, the happiness planet, and Uranus, the planet of surprise, will both act like little matchmakers to see that what transpires pleases you to your pink polished toes.
Best date nights: July 6, 8 - 10, 26, 30
While love will be sensational this month, I am so sorry to have to mention that finances continue to be a sticky sore point. This is a trend that you probably started to notice in June. It appears it will not be easy to find a solution, so you will need patience. While you may feel you need to manage your money a little better on a day-to-day basis, foggy Neptune's position suggests that you may not be privy to all necessary facts. I am not sure it's because someone is withholding them from you or because you simply don't see them hiding in plain sight.
After the new moon appears on July 25, which is the new moon in your earning center, you will be ready to put your new financial plan into place in the following ten days.
This new moon might be a good time to ask for a raise, but I am so sorry to report that because Saturn will orbit in close alignment to the new moon, your boss or prospective new employer may come across as quite tightfisted. I don't think you will be able to get much of a raise, and if you do, you'll have to promise to take on so much more work and pressure that you may wonder if the trade is worth it.
I am so sorry to sound like this! I tell you this so that you don't assume that the reason you can't get money is because you aren't worth more - you are! There just isn't much money in the pipeline these days. Be patient, dear Cancer. Your time will come.
Summary:
Take it slow, Cancer. It's birthday month! You won't want to rush around when there are more important things, like gifts to open, friends to see, and parties to attend.
With the Sun now in Cancer, you'll be anxious to announce new plans, but with Mercury in lockdown for nearly a month, nothing will click into place just yet. Cool your jets, and wait for better days. It might appear on the surface that the slowdowns you are to experience will be due to vacations, but your chart suggests the reasons go deeper than that. Go with the flow, and later you will see that you gained from not jumping into endeavors or relationships with both feet.
A relationship on the weekend of July 8 - 9 or on Monday, July 10, could bring on a romantic high. You may get engaged for your birthday! Indeed, with good wishes from abundant Jupiter and surprise-a-minute Uranus this could be the moment of the year you long awaited!
If you aren't dating seriously, you'll have outstanding chances to meet someone new. Jupiter has been in sleepy mode for months, but will resume stronger orbit on July 6.
From then on, you'll find your social life will suddenly take flight, ensuring you a dizzily happy summer and autumn. (Readers in the southern hemisphere, I mean July through November.) Venus will enter Cancer on July 19, and will help you express your natural charms in the most hauntingly romantic way.
If you are attached and attracted to motherhood, a baby may soon arrive and happily make three.
Financial matters have concerned you for some time, but now, at the new moon, July 25, you seem to be ready to take control and make cash flow more evenly. If unsure you are making the right choices, at the end of July you might want to consult a financial consultant a friend has recommended before making any moves.
If you ask for a raise you may be disappointed with the amount you get approved for, but realize it's not you - it's the situation. Try anyway, and go in there fighting!
All month, you'd be wise to slow down. Mercury will be in retrograde almost the entire month, so for now, gather information. In August you will be ready to act decisively, having completed your due diligence.
