During July, two major themes emerge from the planetary line-up for you – the need for a spiritual life, and,back on planet earth, the need for adjustments in one friendship and your social life in general.
Both are equally important, but both come with their ups and downs; these are psychological processes rather than specific events.
Mars, the warrior planet, is retrograde in your spiritual zone all month, leading to a feeling of lack in your spiritual life. Whether you are religious or not, whatever your faith or none, you will be seeking answers to unanswerable questions. Don’t be afraid to explore new faiths or beliefs, or to rely on your own quietness and mediation to bring you the insights you need. Avoid relying on gurus or so-called spiritual leaders, as this is a highly personal matter, and only you truly know what your soul needs. The lunar eclipse towards the end of the month may mark a breakthrough in your understanding here.
Meanwhile, a variety of planets are having their say over your social life. What starts out as sweetness and light, as gentle Venus shifts into your friendship zone, may quickly become a battle of wills or egos. It’s possible that a new friend may turn out to be a real pain, perhaps even working against you or actively trying to undermine your confidence. A solar eclipse early in the month boosts your assertiveness and will help you to stand your ground, but this may be a difficult couple of weeks.
Turn to your existing friends and allies for moral support when you need it. And make a conscious effort to love the person you see in the mirror – boosting your own sense of self-worth is the most effective way to combat those around you who have issues and agendas of their own.
