Libra

LIBRA

Step up and claim your due

Play and participation boost attraction

Resolve that emotional ‘sticking point’

The Sun is in your house of public persona and profession right up until the 22^nd. It doesn’t matter if you are engaged in paid work or not. Expect to be sought out for your expertise or something you are good at, Libra! And yes, this feels like recognition and hands you that sense of achievement and satisfaction. Be the payoff positive strokes and praise or something material. Whatever form it arrives in, you are left with feeling a success. Especially with the new Moon adding emotional strength and satisfaction to your take-out on the 5^th.

Your determination to clear the decks or simply crush those tasks means you’re no longer in a mood to procrastinate. Anything you’ve been putting off doing is now prioritised. And this simply sets you up to be seen as a dynamic force to be reckoned with. So – no wonder others look to you this July. This is your yearly success peak. You should be on a roll which takes you right up to the new Moon in August. Lean in as this is your opportunity to attain acclaim and recognition.

Who you know and are connected to will have a larger role to play in this from the 2^nd when the planets begin to shift from your 10^th to your 11^th. Beginning with Mercury (2^nd) and followed by ruler Venus (11^th). You’re the diamond in that social circle. The one that adds the sparkle. This is also the time of year where goals are not only in focus – but what you need to attain them can magically be drawn into that orbit. You do need to be interacting with others in the spirit of playful cooperation and a willingness to experiment to fully tap into this however. Your creative mindset brings new options to you. As does your ability to dazzle and charm. And this in turn fuels your unshakeable expectation that whatever you set out to have, to or experience – you can.

Mid-month brings changes. But not necessarily unwelcome ones. Chances are you have been wanting and waiting for a shift in a key area for some time. Mars in your 8^th collides with Uranus on the 15^th. And five days later joins Jupiter in your 9^th. This marks a cycle of sudden liberation where barriers to movement, progress and soul evolution are demolished. You could pivot and take advantage of an opportunity or new direction that is both challenging and thrilling at the same time. Just take it that if you are called to think on your feet and adapt to the unexpected, this has occurred in order to get you moving in a new and better direction.

As the planets move into your 11^th they will oppose Pluto in your 5^th. Mercury (3^rd), Venus (12^th) and finally the Sun (23^rd). These dates stand out for you when it comes to not only your social life, but your power to attract. Especially if what you are seeking is aligned to a key goal. The other big shift for you this month is Mars joining Jupiter in your 9^th from the 20^th. You may still be surfing that change break generated by the Mars/Uranus meeting by this point. The Mars/Pluto trine of the 22^nd continues this and send you off in search of heart-starting adventure. You won’t want to be confined however. Do watch your spending. There may be gains but pause and ask yourself why you want something first. Is it to prove a point or show off in some way? If you can truthfully answer ‘Yes’ – you may want to give it a miss.

I guess that’s why they call it the blues under this month’s full ‘Blue’ Moon in the Moon’s ruling house in your chart (21^st). Look to where you may feel emotionally ‘stuck’ – especially around home, living arrangements, lifestyle or family. Are you still clinging to something that doesn’t truly support you? Perhaps simply because it feels familiar? Have you got your feet dug in and are resisting the shift that came in mid-month with every fibre of your being? No, no – I won’t go! How about opting for surrender and trust in the universe, Libra? A ‘Blue’ Moon is a rare thing. This one asks you let go of rigidity once and for all. Especially when it comes to what may have become a habit. What you see as supporting you may in fact be a prison. There’s only one way to find out and that is to release. Try it and trust that it is safe to do so. More in your Full Blue Moon in Capricorn Moonscope.

You should now be in a daring and explorative mindset. Boosted not just by the Sun in your 11^th but the Venus/Chiron trine across your 11th/7th houses (30^th). Along with Mercury entering retroshadow in your 11^th (17^th), and Chiron retrograde in your 7^th from the 27^th, we also have Neptune in a long, slow retrograde until November in your 6^th. Do address any issues around work and wellness. Look to how loneliness could be impacting on your energy if this has become an area of concern. And do something about it. Energy levels are important now. As is your body telling you it may have had enough.

This is a good time to delve into the works of Dr. Gabor Mate. Listen in and as well as the usual journaling activities, you might want to keep tabs on your energy levels during this time. If you do, you’ll come to understand just how interlinked all this is and how it impacts your ability to enjoy life, manifest and love. It all adds to that success story this July.

In a nutshell: Friends and the future feature from the 11^th when ruler Venus enters Leo. As does your enhanced ability to attract who or what you need in terms of those goals. I could call it ‘Playful attainment’, Libra. Let down any barriers to having what you want or keep you emotionally stuck.
