This is another extremely transformational July month for you, Cancer, with a fresh start on identity and the way that you come across to others, due to the recent New Moon in your sign from the last full week of June, governing most of the current month. Your values and resources could also be going through some revolutionary changes considering that the Mercury Retrograde period of the second half of the month takes place in Leo. The highlighted position of Saturn at the top of your chart indicates powerful career focus, while Neptune is close conjunction with Saturn brings a softer and more compassionate influence to bear in vocational decision-making, that yet also might have to do with illusion or confusion in this important area. Jupiter in your sign with Sun and Moon indicates a certain degree of optimism, in spite of everything, although you might also need to reign your enthusiasm in, considering the somewhat dire equation of “stop and go and stop again” represented by prominent Saturn and the impending factor over the month’s second half of Mercury in retrograde motion affecting your resources sector. You find yourself, as in previous months, in a huge and quite general process of transformation that includes existing and potential partnerships. After the 4th, the Moon in Scorpio speaks to your creative self-expression, which must at this point be consistent with your inner moral compass to of maximum help as you evolve. The Full Moon of the 10th in your opposite sign sparks issues of self and other. On the 17th, the Last Quarter Moon is quite dramatic, encouraging you to move in the direction of true and total life purpose as Mercury also stations retrograde that same evening, creating further introspection. All in all, this is an incredible month of growing significance for you. August represents more of the same, so fasten your seat belt and take it a step at a time.
