“We get to celebrate the end of a year-long cycle on the 18th, and it goes out with a whimper while the beginning of the new cycle comes in with a bang. This is a fun time for fire signs (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries) and air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) and you guys get a year of good luck and big opportunities. But all signs get a big, fresh, new start in July, even if your only new project is changing your attitude. ~Deborah
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Happy Birthday Cancer! After months of discarding one great idea after another, you finally get to implement a few of them. Use this next 12-month run to polish up your master plan because the planets are in place to manifest anything you want (except maybe a calm household, but we’ll save that conversation for next month). Just pick something big, amazing and flamboyant and run with it. This is it—this year is the vehicle you use to make you mark on the world, to shake up those who think they know you and validate the beliefs of all who’ve supported your dreams in the past.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) After a year of what has felt like walking barefoot through a cold mud puddle, you can finally climb out and dry off. Things are just in the planning stages this month but idealism, creativity and courage are the perfect tools to bring opportunities right to you. The biggest impediment to your own personal growth explosion is you. For the next year to work you have to believe in yourself, really believe that you’re worthy of great things and can handle them. Lay the groundwork, build the foundation, solidify the deal. And be patient. Your payoff comes wrapped up and tied with a bow in December.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Such a long (a year at least) cycle of busy business and social activity, insane travel, and just running around in general. It’s like you’ve been living out of your suitcase (or briefcase or backpack, as the case may be). But as of July 16th you’ll have lots of ways to work and make money that don’t necessarily include the hoards of fans and travel you’ve had to put up with…er…enjoyed over the last several months. You’re going to “Woodshed”, a music industry term meaning the act of working on something in private, over and over again until you get it perfect.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What a busy bee you’ve been, building empires, putting out fires, shining as a role model and setting the perfect example of a hard-working upwardly mobile career fast-tracker, right? So, July is the same but with a twist: Suddenly your life just got more social. This doesn’t mean you’re having more fun yet (that comes at the end of this year) but you need to pay special attention to clubs, groups, work friends, contacts and any organizations friendly to your career, because good luck and expansion comes from these places. That means, for the good of your work, socialize, socialize, socialize.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) Just when you thought a hut in Tahiti looked like the perfect retirement spot, boom! Work bears down on you like a jet on a runway, and just as fast. Last month you were feeling a little introverted and private, but this month you take center stage with the whole world watching and it’ll happen all at once. It won’t be easy to switch your mindset from palm fronds to civic responsibility, so expect the first part of July to be rocky. But after the 18th you morph into a career-expanding firebomb that won’t be extinguished until August 11, 2015. So, hold on!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Finally, your friends and family will quit writing to us complaining about your mental confusion and lack of direction. Finally, you experience a new awareness and clarity of vision, and this month signals the beginning. Finally, you can see the big picture, though July shows you just a small part of it. The end of July and all of August has you planning new ways to grow intellectually and creatively and if this also involves exotic locales (and locals) and big-time networking, so be it. Get to work on those grandiose plans because in December your reality changes radically, for the better.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) We know how cautious you can be about sharing in general, and sharing resources in particular, but you must be willing to change your mind now. The days of keeping everything to and for yourself are over. New partnerships suddenly mean big financial rewards at the end of this month, and you will like that very much. It’s always a little difficult to share control over your living space, but the best way to benefit over the next 12 months is to embrace sharing. Go for the exciting, the new, and ignore The Grand Plan. Take the road less traveled, as Robert Frost once said. It will make all the difference.
Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 19) Expect to feel like someone stomped into your dark living room and flipped on a lamp; this month things look radically different. You get to begin a new phase, a phase that involves exciting, flamboyant partnerships and lots of travel. Expect short trips, long trips, mind games and mental gymnastics, all preparing you for the best really big career shift to come your way in a long time. By December you won’t be able to remember 2013 or the first half of 2014, thank goodness.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) We get to prognosticate about you by telling you put big stars next to July and December. In July you get a whiff, a hint of the new normal kicking off in December. In the past you may have been feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled, less creative than you would like to be day to day, but July changes all that. Your job expands with each brilliant idea, even if it seems like you hit a brick wall while you try to change the status quo now. Continue your amazing-ess and be patient: Good things come to those who (are willing to) wait...until December.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) Your independence always causes trouble in your relationships, so July should come as no surprise. What is surprising is the way you suddenly don’t care so much. After the intensity of the first part of the month, July 19th will feel like a sunny day after a week of rain. You can start having a good time again, people will track you down again to drag you out of your self-imposed seclusion and out into the world again, and you’re a hit! As the year marches on, you feel more and more like your old self.
Taurus (Apr. 21-May-21) It’s been a busy year for you, so much running around, educating yourself, covering serious ground. You got a lot accomplished, and learned a few things about yourself, too, like the fact that this year you want to settle down a little. You want to spend some time at home, you want to create a real home if you don’t have one now, or make your home bigger, better, more wonderful. If you can also stabilize your partnerships at the same time, so much the better. In fact, maybe stabilizing your partnerships is the way your home just keeps getting better.
Gemini (May 22-June 20) A Gemini friend recently complained about her horoscopes. “Where’s the excitement?” she whined, “Where’s the fun? Gemini horoscopes just talk about work, work, work!” You didn’t happen to notice the last few months went easier on you than on the other signs, did you? You probably didn’t think twice about the extra money in your bank account, or the growth spurt in your fan base, or even the amplified brilliance of your work schemes. You aren’t even appreciative of the multiple opportunities for creativity coming at you now like a New York commuter train. Just say “Thank you” now. It’s not going to last forever.
