Libra Horoscope for July 2013

This is an entirely multifaceted month for you, Libra. On the one hand, with expansive Jupiter and the New Moon lighting up your career sector, you have all cylinders firing as you get ahead in outer world pursuits with verve and panache. On the other, Mercury is retrograde there all month long, and the recommendation is for you to allow the murky stream of your life activities to settle and clear before making any drastic forward-going decisions. If you are stung by vague fears and internal controversies, you are right on time with how the cosmic forces now incline. The good news is that you will emerge out the other side, in August, both more informed as to your inner world and, from this integrated place within yourself, better able to make good choices.

As the month begins, you are networking like mad, and yet taking largely an internal stance. With Mercury currently retrograding through an angular sector of your chart, namely your career sector, things are likely to be in the mode of inner predominating over outer, lasting all month. You have likely been mulling over recent events and trying to place them into better perspective, now that you have arrived at this final phase of the lunar cycle that is now ending.

At this turning of the month you are also incredibly tuned in to the restrictiveness of Saturn, operating in your second, or resources, sector. This means that you are perhaps having trouble getting your financial and other resources lined up, amidst the general limitations of the current world economy. The benefit to you however is greater focus on this area, so that you can do something about the situation. It could also be that less reliance on material forms of security implies greater reliance on Spirit to see you through, a trend that has been noticeable for you over these past few weeks.

With Jupiter surging through your career sector you are fortunate in your work at this time, and able to see consistent progress. Jupiter completes a grand trine in Water signs involving both Saturn and also Neptune, residing in your sector of day-to-day experience, an aspect pattern that has been forming in several different ways lately, continuing through the first two thirds of July. This configuration encourages you to take an otherworldly stance on resources and on life direction, so that the only way to get ahead that means anything to you now is, indeed, the path with heart.

With Uranus also highlighted in your opposite sign, still in square to Pluto, there are relationship surprises in store for you this month, but it is nothing that you can't handle, especially if you have the steadiness to make reliance on your inner world, and on Spirit, a priority. Additionally, as you feel your way you through, a vast reservoir of intuitive information could come to you via the agency of significant partners. Tribe or family ties are also shifting and morphing in interesting ways that could prove to be life changing. You are shaping your future self, and the apparent raw materials seem to include a healthy dose of old habit patterns that are ready to be outgrown.
