Capricorn Horoscope for July 2014

This is an important month for you, Capricorn, and signals a time when many things are changing, as you revise your notions for your path ahead, based in part on the input from helpful partners. With Mercury still recovering from its retrograde motion, you are mulling over several different factors in your life; not least of these is the way that you bond with significant partners. You are connecting up your relationship dynamic with how you handle the day-to-day life of your workplace, and the ways that you have of being of service to others around you in general. You find yourself looking under the covers of your more obvious habitual patterns, and the results are surprisingly enlightening, especially when you allow yourself to open up to magical realms that you encounter on the inside of your mind.

As the month begins, you are riding the wave of the powerful New Moon that took place just before the last weekend of the previous month in your relationship sector. This implies additional energy that is available for connecting up with significant persons in your life, including business partners. You are feeling an almost psychic sense of union with others around you, a sensitivity that extends to your written and spoken communication, rendering it mystical and perhaps a bit vague. This can be confusing at times, but it can be enlightening as well, as long as you are willing to allow your thoughts to flow outside of their usual and habitual channels. The way of empathic parallel with those to whom you are close, when you can allow yourself to be open to it, is perhaps the best way of all to form stronger bonds of connection.

You have been in the midst of a weeks-long process of questioning both the way that you handle relationship with important others in your life, including family members, and also the way that you spend your productive time, from the beginning of the Mercury Retrograde period several weeks ago. Now that Mercury has changed to direct motion, the energy of your inquiry shifts, and yet you are still exploring inner realizations along these same lines for the next two weeks, until after the 15th of July.

This reviewing and revising of your concepts in this area includes seeing how your everyday habitual patterns have been formed on the basis of early childhood conditioning, and the ways that they serve you or fail to measure up to your current feeling about who you are and where you need to be aligning yourself in terms of both work and family. You are arriving at glimpses of a more ideal conception that you would perhaps like to transition into if only you knew the steps that you could take to get yourself there.

Another transitional factor in this month's astrology is that so many planets are changing signs or direction. Mercury returns to your opposite sign of Cancer on the 12th, while Venus crosses into this same sector of your solar chart a week or so later. Then, your ruler, Saturn, stations to direct motion on Sunday, July 20th, in your sector of societal connection. This latter implies that your energy for where you feel that you are currently heading could shift at this time, especially since a very close aspect between Saturn and trickster Uranus is strong for you throughout the current month. You might find that the friendships and the group affiliations that you favor could morph in unexpected ways. There also could be surprises coming along throughout this monthly cycle that affect the way you see yourself moving ahead with the accumulated changes of previous weeks and months.
