You are feeling the energy, Libra. Massive transformation is all around you – although you are in some ways still insulated from its fullest realization, especially when you stick to traditional categories of evolutionary purpose and societal reward. You are ultimately journeying to a more esoteric place. The pull of the world is yet very much with you, and not entirely incompatible, even as you find that cosmic principles are taking you out of the normal orbit of your former belief systems. You embrace a more rarefied viewpoint. You might find in the course of your journeying that the true magnetic north that your personality strives for is, as Shakespeare often pointed out, something rich and strange and more akin to dream than to the concretely quantified world of simplistic outer achievement.
As the month begins, you are feeling the mental and emotional strain of rapid-fire alterations coming down upon your head whether or not you have signaled that you are quite ready so that you may be tempted to stop the game with a cry of "no fair!" You are in fact evolving in the areas of your life where it is most needed, at least from the standpoint of evolutionary necessity that is secretly driving these changes. In this process your belief systems are crashing down around you, at least in part, and as well becoming revitalized. While you are beginning to catch a glimpse of where it is that you might be finally heading, your future yet is in many ways a great unknown. You are all about real-world achievement at this time, and still you are wondering what exactly that might really and truly mean in light of recent ruminations. The challenges on the home front that you are facing now are likely to be momentous factors in some way, as the universe coaxes from you a thorough-going realignment of your thought patterns and your philosophical paradigm. In this regard as well, partnership is extremely powerful for you right now, and provides unexpected ammunition for inculcating transformation at the very core of your being. When things seem difficult you might want to remember that the true import of this time period will not be fully recognized for a number of months or even years to come. Rather than as a series of disasters, when looking back on this climactic summer you might come to view it as your finest hour.
With the Full Moon of Tuesday, July 3rd, you are coming to a relatively peaceful plateau in the midst of these issues, a psychic space where things could potentially begin to be sorted out, although you still remain no doubt aware of the looming waterfall of further changes still to come. You definitely realize that you can go for it in outer world pursuits only when you get your inner act together. A fundamental sense of psychological security within you has been threatened and you are beginning to suspect that until you formulate a new way to look at your life and find instead a big-picture viewpoint you will continue to suffer. A sense of trust in the basic benevolence of the cosmos will take you far, but of course this is very much easier said than achieved. The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, July 10th, provides some tension-producing moments but also perhaps more productive visions of what is possible and even necessary to pull yourself out of the shadows and into a different kind of Sunlight that manages to incorporate them. It is natural to fear the dark places within yourself, you have plenty of company there. It is what you do about your fear that makes for noteworthy commentary. In mulling over the previous three weeks of the cycle, you might have the occasion to appropriate your inner bogey man as someone you could actually begin to accept and perhaps live with. The late Cancer New Moon that follows in the middle of the following week, on Wednesday, July 18th, represents another fairly intense time of high energy for revelation as well as transformation and for digging down still further into your restless psyche, and lasting through to month's end. Mercury is now retrograde in your sector of future plans, so activity in pursuit of career goals is best put on hold for four to five weeks. The important and meditative connection that you have already been making with the shifting currents of your psychological home base is still very much with you and as well the inspiration that you find on the part of significant others in your life, who are finding their own unique way to be of help to you in getting off your dime so to speak, or perhaps in escaping your well-traveled rut. Through all of these adventures in re-framing you have the opportunity to either refuse to play or to simply let cosmic process pass through you for ultimately beneficial effect. As always, the choice is yours.
