Cancer Horoscope for July 2014

This is a somewhat difficult month for you, Cancer, with also its joys and its new beginnings. The recent New Moon in your sign symbolizes a major turning point. While you are in many ways more comfortable with your changes, including relationship issues that continue to arise, there remain question marks yet to be resolved. This goes smoothly based on how well you are able to integrate the realizations of your recent past. You have been in a contemplative mode for weeks now, diving down to your depths, below the surface layers, looking within for answers that do not appear for you at these more superficial levels. The timing is good for beginning a process of settling down, the prelude to a better sense of self and the steppingstone for further transformation that comes up in the fall again for you.

As the month begins, you are riding the wave of the New Moon in your sign from the last few days of June. This New Moon was a powerful one, and emphasized several outer planet factors that bring you closer to the intentionality of your higher self. These include Uranus and Pluto, which are still quite active in your chart. While no longer in close square, as they were in recent weeks, most notably in late April, these two heavyweights are still poised to contribute to your personal evolution, and are highlighted during July by the aspects that they make to personal planets. You remain in a meditative mode, mulling over your changes, seeing more clearly into your depths than before the retrograde of Mercury through your sector of unconscious process. While Mercury is no longer retrograde, it is yet still recovering its lost Zodiacal ground well into the third week of July. It is therefore quite possible that you remain in the midst of a weeks-long process of integration regarding the events and the realizations of that earlier spring time frame.

Another shock to your system that could still be reverberating is based on the very early days of the Cancer New Moon time, the weekend before the beginning of July, when Uranus in your career sector was opposed to Mars in your sector of home and family, and aspected also by Saturn. This implies that you could be feeling the impulse to go almost anywhere and do almost anything, even though experiencing at the very same time an extra-potent dose of prudence that holds you in place almost against your will.

It is a very idealistic stance that you are taking now. The way that you see the world around you is based at least in part on the information streaming to you from sources of which you are in your waking reality less than fully conscious. In actuality you are very aware of these at the deeper levels of your being. Neptune in your sector of higher mind is activated this month especially in the first few days, soon after the New Moon of late June. This is a long-term transit, which has been in effect for several years now, all during the pressure cooker of Uranus and Pluto, and makes his appearance this month as a reminder of the unseen forces at work behind the scenes of your life.

You are as well engaged in plumbing to the last drop your motivations in the area of interpersonal relationship. The inspiration of Uranus provides a vision for what could be possible even as the transformational energy of Pluto provides the wrecking ball to clear the way for these. As your life continues to unfold, you are leaving behind some of your older conceptions based on early conditioning and prior trauma. Life is motion and change, or it is stasis and slow death, so that your choices for the road ahead of you involve the radical transformation of your relationship energy or they are empty gestures, especially during these climactic years of Uranus and Pluto in combination.
