Astrology and Incentive -- Your July Stars

Dear Planet Waves Reader:

Your July horoscope covers the exciting changes of the new season -- both Mars and Jupiter change signs, which will create the effect of "the other 2014" -- a new year within the current year.

On Monday, Mercury stations direct, concluding more than six months of end-to-end inner planet retrogrades. As of today, Saturday, we are still in the storm phase of Mercury, meaning the potentially most turbulent or interesting days of the retrograde, which began about three weeks ago.

Between all inner planets being direct and the sign changes of Mars and Jupiter, you may finally get to catch up with yourself, or perhaps more accurately, see how much progress you've made the past seven months. 

I am aware how turbulent it's been and how many people have struggled. Thankfully we have astrology to help us sort out the issues and see or options. My July monthly readings are offered in that spirit.

I have two more items to share with you. One is for those born under the sign Cancer in any form -- Sun, Moon or rising. It's a preview of your 2014-2015 birthday reading. In personal astrology, birthdays are everything -- starting with your natal chart and continuing to charts for each successive year of your life. Each year I prepare a special reading for the sign Cancer, which is about to come out early next week.

Today I recorded an overview of the reading, which is free for everyone to listen to. I went a little overboard -- it's 20 minutes, more than you would get from any 900 number service, and there's plenty of useful information. Obviously in the time I'll have in the full reading I can share much more. Please check it out -- and share it with anyone you know who is a Moon Child.

Second is I write weekly interpretations for all the signs (and extended monthly ones as well). Those are available to our website members and subscribers. This is the subscription service, built on my weekly horoscope, that has been the seed crystal for the whole Planet Waves city of astrology. We offer a free trial month -- including eight issues with six astrology readings per sign -- though I'm here to tell you about an extra incentive.

For anyone who tries out my professional level of service (currently under $10 a month), I'll also include my full Spring 2014 Reading for all the signs and rising signs. That's a reading lasting 45 minutes per sign.

They are amazing; they are gripping; the energy is pouring through them. They are some of the best work I've ever done. And you can listen just for trying out my twice-weekly professional service.

You can cancel your trial subscription before you're ever billed, and you can still keep the Spring Reading as my gift. Many people have benefitted from it. Many have said it guided them through the most challenging astrology in years, and I want you to see and feel and experience the benefits of my detailed astrology readings firsthand.

If you're someone who surfs the web looking for something, you're not sure what, from astrology, I think you'll find what you're looking for at Planet Waves. We offer deep, useful, easy-to-follow and most of all relevant astrology for you. 

We care about you and we want you to stick around -- so all of us at Planet Waves do our very best to provide you with a full experience.

Thanks for reading, and it's good to be with you.

Lovingly,

PS: If you're born under the sign Cancer and want to experience the full strength of my birthday readings, try last year's reading -- as my gift. This link takes you right to the reading, with no need to enter a credit card.


Planet Waves Inner Space Horoscope for July 2014 | By Eric Francis

July begins the other 2014 -- the one after the grand cross and Mars retrograde and Venus retrograde and two Mercury retrogrades (the most recent of which ends July 1) and a lot else besides. We now get to experience The Other 2014, the one when Jupiter enters Leo (on July 16) and Mars enters Scorpio (on July 25). With all of this we get a fresh wave of energy, very much in direct motion, with more diversity and easier flow than the kind of running uphill, swimming upstream, debating chaos theory with a mannequin astrological monolith we've experienced for the past six months. July brings the one-and-only Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Leo, and the Leo New Moon on July 26. Other dates of interest mixed in with those mentioned above are the Capricorn Full Moon on July 12 and the Sun ingressing Leo on July 22.

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- In France, in the United States and in your life, July is the month of independence -- when you start to crave emotional independence and start to make moves to design that for yourself. Well, design may be exaggerating a bit; it looks more like emotional jolts that prompt you to invent something new on the spot. The key is to go forward, even if you don't think you can see the future. Take any unexpected development as an immediate prompt to get yourself in motion. You don't need to know where you're going. You just need to orient on one point so that you don't go in circles. As you do this, all kinds of opportunities are likely to appear, including several from recent months that you were certain you missed. As they appear, you will see them more clearly for what they are.
Right now you can get the best-selling MARS EFFECT annual readings for half-price (only $39 for all twelve signs). These written and audio readings offer relationship and career insights throughout the year for your Sun, rising and Moon signs -- and those of your loved ones. "After listening to it at least four times I always hear new aspects and I feel it helps me greatly in making sense of my very turbulent inner life" -- Michelle, Planet Waves reader.

Taurus (April 19- May 20)
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Your solar chart has become increasingly complex in recent weeks, which is another way of saying you may be less sure about who you are and what you want. It would, however, be far better to pause and not know than it would be to let someone decide for you. I am sure you've noticed the human tendency to want others to make our decisions. It saves mental effort and it saves responsibility, but in the end, you sacrifice choice. Or rather, you choose not to choose, in a passive way. I suggest you get underneath this psychology if you're noticing that it exists. Clearly, you want to expand your horizons; you want some new energy in your physical space; you're tired of a life that is so obsessively focused on work. If someone is offering you something that you see is appealing, and you want it, take full credit for your choice.
Looking at your life and wondering how half the year went by in such a colorful blur? "Turn the dial on the kaleidoscope of life," as one reader put it, and clarify your view with the MARS EFFECT readings, now available for half price: $39 for all 12 signs. See how the patterns align through the interrelated facets of your life (and the lives of those your hold dear) as you co-create the rest of your year and beyond.

Gemini (May 20- June 21)
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- With Mercury direct and Venus moving through your sign, you have the presence of mind and the charm necessary to resolve any misunderstandings that may have emerged during the recent Mercury retrograde. One particular disagreement may have been about an emotional attachment you had to a value or opinion that does not seem so compelling as it did a month ago. In fact you may be wondering why you cared so much. Without that attachment, you're in a more conciliatory mood, and someone you care about will welcome your willingness to admit that you may have misjudged or over-communicated, or if appropriate, that you were a bit of a jerk. People move on from these things when they're handled honestly. You have no need to hang onto the past with so much to look forward to.
Attention, Geminis! Mercury is about to retrograde back into your sign, there's a highly unusual grouping of planets working their way across your relationship angle, and the planet Chaos could feel like a creative stirring -- or more like confusion. Focus your mind and get your bearings on your solar year with your 2014 GEMINI BIRTHDAY READING, available now for $39.95. Also included is a tarot reading, access to the recorded Q&A session with Eric, and more.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You have been under a lot of stress the past six months. It's almost like you've done everything right and yet you cannot get the results that you want. It's good you subscribe to the motto "when you're going through hell, keep on going" -- even if it wasn't all that bad. Yet so many factors change this month that you have reason to remain not just optimistic but also motivated. In fact I suggest you remain especially motivated on all of the things that you want the most but seem to have been slogging along the most annoyingly. That might include some mix of sex, money, relationships and your career -- you know, all the big stuff. Past performance is not an indicator of future returns. Yet the thing that might be the very most dependable indicator is your drive and passion, which will be running with full heat within one month from today. Tap that energy -- it's all yours.
Hello, Cancers! If Mercury stationing retrograde in your sign has had you feeling a little turned around, consider your 2014 CANCER BIRTHDAY READING to be a proactive, meditative, empathic alternative to hiding in your shell or turning the mood-o-meter up to 11. If you pre-order now for $29.95, you'll get the best possible price on two segments of astrology, a tarot reading, access to a live Q&A session with Eric, and more.

Leo (July 22- Aug. 23)
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- July arrives with the one-and-only Leo New Moon conjunct Jupiter, at least till 2026 (and that one is not nearly as amazing as the one on July 26 of this year). So -- this is the one, and to me it translates to a cosmic I Ching hexagram along the lines of Great Good Fortune. Make the most of it. The main variable seems to be understanding what you want to accomplish. You have a lot of small goals -- and you must arrange them in such a way that they add up to something significant, or combine into one basic objective. Said another way, you have the winds of fortune blowing you in any direction you want -- and you must focus that direction. It's likely that you don't have a name for the thing you want the most. If that is true, then call it "the nameless thing" and start to describe it, and refine your description till you know exactly what you're talking about.
"I thought those readings were meant just for me" is how so many MARS EFFECT customers have felt, it's a testament to just how intimate, beautiful and uncannily personal these written and audio readings truly are. Now you can access all 12 signs for $39 (half price) -- an incredible value for more than a year's worth of insights into all facets of your life, and into the lives of those closest to you.

Virgo (Aug. 23- Sep. 22)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You may have to adjust your strategy in light of unexpected developments, though that is another way of saying that plenty is brewing behind the scenes that you may not be aware of yet. Don't mistake this for nothing happening. Mercury's recent change of directions in the house associated with your professional ambitions is a reminder to pick up the threads on whatever may have been sidetracked about six weeks ago. Reassess that particular goal -- you may want or need to revise it, or you may want to fold it into a new plan that has emerged more recently. Either way there is something valuable involved that will help you advance your work and your reputation. I was about to write "if you're interested," though I see every reason to be interested, and to get yourself there if you're having the least hesitation.
"OMG the Mars Effect -- I don't really have words yet. Finally I've won the Lotto!" -- Planet Waves reader Gary. Your luck just got even better: the written and audio MARS EFFECT readings are available for half price ($39 for all 12 signs), making it easy to access winning insights for your Sun, Moon and rising signs (and those of loved ones) immediately.

Libra (Sep. 22 - Oct. 23)
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Whatever enterprises you get involved in could work out very well for you -- if you remember what you've learned during the past couple of seasons, and if you keep a positive view of what is possible. Those two conditions might be difficult to hold in one thought or gesture, mainly due to so many persistent challenges this year. I know how this can be, when you expect adversity because you've experienced it, then you create it by expecting it. Do what you can to get out of this cycle. By the last week of July so many factors will have changed that you will be convinced far more is possible than you've experienced any time recently. Between now and then, you may have your doubts, though I suggest investing your energy in something more creative or pleasure-oriented rather than on regrets or worry.

Scorpio (Oct. 23- Nov. 22)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- For most of the month Mars is making its way across the last degrees of Libra, on its way into your sign. Think of this as something trying to break through to the surface of your awareness -- something that might feel edgy in a way you don't understand. What you're feeling is likely to be different from your experiences since Mars entered Libra last December, which was the beginning of a long odyssey. Now, change is imminent. You just may not be sure if you really want it. This is, of course, a theme of its own for you. This would be a good time to ponder whether any element of the past you're attached to is really worth keeping. There are many new passions and ambitions coming into your life -- I suggest you make space for them, which means for yourself.
"I thought those readings were meant just for me" is how so many MARS EFFECT customers have felt, it's a testament to just how intimate, beautiful and uncannily personal these written and audio readings truly are. Now you can access all 12 signs for $39 (half price) -- an incredible value for more than a year's worth of insights into all facets of your life, and into the lives of those closest to you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 22)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- This month may go down in the history of your life as the moment you set yourself free. This is the quest of Sagittarius, and it's easier in thought than it is in reality. Yet you've been releasing yourself from various bonds one at a time. Something that happened back in April comes to mind, and had that development not occurred you would be in a different situation right now. Yet that merely prepared the ground for what is possible. The real step is the one that you must take on your own, because you recognize that it's possible and because you know that you can. Your charts suggest that anything you do will work out, as long as you feel good about it. That's a suggestion to do the thing that you feel the very best about. Note, making one choice does not necessarily preclude another. Start with what you want the most.
"OMG the Mars Effect -- I don't really have words yet. Finally I've won the Lotto!" -- Planet Waves reader Gary. Your luck just got even better: the written and audio MARS EFFECT readings are available for half price ($39 for all 12 signs), making it easy to access winning insights for your Sun, Moon and rising signs (and those of loved ones) immediately.

Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan. 20)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You seem ready to let go of some of the responsibility you've taken on, though I suggest you do it in an orderly and structured way. You have a right to make decisions that serve your best interests, and it's also good to remember that your reputation follows you. So I suggest you make this a conscious process of exchange, based on several core lessons you've learned during the various adventures and misadventures going back to your birthday. All that experience was there to teach you something about yourself, though it's possible to forget even the hardest-learned lessons. These you want to remember, because that's the most likely way you'll be able to prevent them from happening again -- and the most likely way you will recognize something different and much better when you see it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20- Feb. 19)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Over the next four weeks cosmic activity moves into the signs Leo and Scorpio, which I would say is excellent news for you. Mars and Jupiter, who were star players in the grand cross of 2014, change signs within a few weeks of one another. It's often difficult for people to get the relationship aspect of their lives into harmony with the professional aspects; in fact this creates more tension than just about anything. Yet Jupiter in Leo will open up the possibilities in nearly all of your relationships. Mars in Scorpio will focus your drive and ambition. This is a dynamic mix of energies -- though if you stay open-minded and open to change, what could be a clash will be more like a starburst into another world of possibilities. Let every step you take be a step in that direction.
"I thought those readings were meant just for me" is how so many MARS EFFECT customers have felt, it's a testament to just how intimate, beautiful and uncannily personal these written and audio readings truly are.

Pisces (Feb. 19- March 20)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Water signs are sensitive to their environments -- I believe more sensitive than any other kind of sign, and Pisces is the most delicate among them. It helps to have the Sun and planets in any of the water signs, and it helps when other elements provide some additional vitality. Later this month -- I wish it were sooner, but all in good time -- Jupiter and the Sun move into your house of vitality and wellbeing. This will ease some of the stress you've been under at work, allowing ideas rather than work to carry some more of the effort. Then Mars exits your house of contracts (Libra) and ingresses your house of faith in yourself (Scorpio). On Aug. 1, the two make contact, which looks to me like you will be getting just the infusion of energy and passion that you need. Till then, easy does it -- as easy as you can, anyway.
Looking at your life and wondering how half the year went by in such a colorful blur? "Turn the dial on the kaleidoscope of life," as one reader put it, and clarify your view with the MARS EFFECT readings, now available for half price: $39 for all 12 signs. See how the patterns align through the interrelated facets of your life (and the lives of those your hold dear) as you co-create the rest of your year and beyond.
