2007 Monthly Astrological Forecast, Stars, Planets, Movement, Meaning

Astrolights for this month - We begin our month with Mercury still retrograde in Cancer. It will turn direct on July 10th. This will bring an assessment of all of our holiday and family encounters. We will make some decisions about future endeavors. They will begin with the new Moon in Cancer on the 14th and Venus passing into Virgo. Usually, after holidays, it’s then that we make promises to ourselves about how we are going to adjust our life styles, diets and relationships. With Mercury and the new Moon in Cancer we will address those issues from an emotional and security minded perspective. With Saturn still in Leo until September it’s important to look at the rules and beliefs that we have grown up with that shape our attitudes and requirements of and toward others. Do we approach others from a format that empowers ourselves and others by focusing on the constructive aspects of our actions? Or do we approach others by focusing on what we and they have not done that is in line with the beliefs we have grown up with? This is a time to look at what circumstances make us feel secure and why.

On the 23rd the Sun moves into Leo. This is a time for us to plan and/or take our vacations. It is also a time when our thoughts go to the playtime (Leo) that we remember from our childhood. What is it that we romanticize about our childhood? Saturn is still very much in opposition to Neptune in Aquarius which can either clarify these notions or cloud them in nostalgia. On the 27th Venus will turn retrograde in Virgo and go half way back into Leo. Since Venus is the planet of value judgment and Leo the sign of our childhood it will be important to assess our past clearly if we are to project into the future honestly. What kind of vacation do we expect to take? What do we hope to gain from it? Is there an image that we are expecting “it” to live up to? Are our expectations realistic or just a fantasy? What ever assessment we make will bear fruit when the nodes move into Leo and Aquarius in December just in time for the relatives and the holidays. With Chiron in Aquarius with Neptune this will prove to be an opportune time for healing any of these issues that have been lingering. Don’t be afraid to seek outside help for a different perspective. You may find that your issues are simpler than they seem. The vacation may give you enough time away from the center of your issues to gain a clean perspective. Even if you’re just going to get away, enjoy. You may come back not only with renewed energy but also a new outlook on life.
