Aries Horoscope for July 2017

By for ASTROGRAPH Horoscopes

You are centered on home and family concerns this month, Aries, as indicated by the placement of the recent New Moon from the final weeks of June, having taken place in this sector of your solar chart. The thirty days of the current Cancer lunation cycle will have this flavor for you, and might bring unexplored awareness to you concerning this general set of issues, including current family dynamics as well as family of origin, and reflecting back on your own depth psychology. Relationship partners of all kinds help you to become grounded in your process. The final week of July becomes more playful. You are also intent upon better defining a growing sense of mission that speaks to what you alone uniquely bring to the table, and that partly emanates from the deeper layers of your personality, below the level of overt conscious understanding. This may guide you to a spiritual sense of meaningful activity in this world.

The following was written by this month's guest columnist Adam Elenbaas of The Nightlight Astrology School

This month is a big one for all the Mars’ ruled warriors out there. July begins with a First Quarter Moon in your 7th house of love and relationships, square to Mars in your house of home and family. And in fact, for a good portion of July the Sun and Mars will be in your fourth house moving through a square to Jupiter in the 7th. In other words, this month is toned energetically by the themes of love, relationships or partnerships, and home, roots, and family. Arians aren’t known for their sentimentality, or their desire to nurture or nest-build, but this month you may find that there is more natural emphasis being placed on these subjects along with the themes of love and intimacy. Although it’s common to understand ourselves and our psychology in terms of the major charact Eristics of our signs (I’m an Aries so I’m bold, courageous, action-oriented, etc.), it’s just as important to understand who we are in terms of the shadow side of our Sun-sign. The shadow of Aries, a Mars-ruled sign, is Libra, a Venus ruled sign. In fact, this is why Mars was traditionally said to be in its detriment in the sign of Libra and Venus in its detriment in the sign of Aries. These two planets and signs hold an archetypal tension between each other that is always seeking union and synthesis but also providing us with formidable challenges. So, in this month of July where a whole lot of Cancer and a whole lot of Libra in the 4th and 7th houses are showing up for you, well, it’s going to take all your courage, your patience, and your will-power, to enter more deeply into these vulnerable places.

As the month goes on, Mars is going to be combust under the beams of the Sun within the 4th house before finally being consumed by the Sun on July 26th. As this process of the Sun eclipsing Mars unfolds, Mars is also in the sign of his depression, in Cancer. This might sound kind of bleak, but it’s just a picture of your normal Ram powers weakening a little this month under the influence of things happening in or around your home and family; it’s a process of death and rebirth that happens for Arians each time Mars runs through the watery and lunar sign of Cancer, and each time Mars is eclipsed by the Sun. The normal action-oriented, guns blazing, courage and determination that you carry as an Aries must slow down, go within, and remember vulnerability and diplomacy again. Don’t forget, the planets in Cancer this month will also behold Jupiter in your 7th house of relationships all month long, so part of the weakening of your powers may be a very natural, and maybe even a joyful part, of surrendering certain elements of yourself within the context of a partnership or romantic relationship!

But when all is said and done, don’t worry, this is going to be a revolutionary and fiery month for you regardless of how vulnerable, domestic, or intimate things might become. All month long, the planets Uranus and Eris are meanwhile conjoined in your first house, and Uranus is slowing down to station at the end of the month. When Uranus stations in late July and early August, Mars will also be in the heart of the Sun in your 5th house (a condition sometimes referred to as ‘cazimi,’ where a planet is exactly conjoined to the Sun down to the minute). The Mars/Sun conjunction in your 5th house of creativity will behold Uranus turning retrograde, which symbolizes a very powerful turn of events for you. A time of revolution and creative new beginnings is following this month’s astrology, and it will include a series of eclipses in August that will coincide with a time of personal and creative revolution!

With the massive changes that are happening now, I highly recommend that folks get a transit report tailored specifically to their chart for the most accurate description of what's in store for you in the months ahead.
