July brings the next eclipse, due July 11, and it will light your house of romance, bringing on a major development in matters of the heart and in your personal life. This eclipse will not engender as emotional a response that the one did last month on June 26. (Eclipses always come in pairs, two weeks apart as a full moon and new moon). Think back to last month when a friend’s situation or behavior toward you may have upset or concerned you.

The year’s newest eclipse, July 11, will bring a startling development in your love life, doubly so if you were born on or near March 9, plus or minus four days. No guarantees, but this eclipse is likely to thrill you. With a beautifully friendly beam to Mars in your house of commitment, you might get a serious proposal of marriage.

Alternatively, if you work regularly with partners and collaborators in business, this eclipse could see you forming a major alliance with a biz partner, agent, or other publicist, as some examples. If you have no one to date, this eclipse is capable of bringing you that fateful introduction, so look your best.

All Pisces are creative - it’s one of your sign’s joys - so you may be happy to hear that this eclipse could bring on a major new project. Take seriously any offers that surface, for this may be one that you will decide to give your “all” to in coming months.

The same part of your chart rules pregnancy and care of children. If you hope for a little new addition to your family, you may be shopping for bassinettes much sooner than you ever thought possible - joyfully so!

While in the past, one certain relationship seems to have caused you nothing but woe, but with Saturn now leaving Virgo, you have moved beyond those dark days. Your new partner has clearly earned your trust. With Venus’ entry into your partnering / merging sector, you’ll have smooth sailing together from July 10 to August 6, a great time to plan a vacation together or to make big plans for the future.

Money has also given you difficulties, but now, with Jupiter finally settled in your second house of income, combined with Uranus, you will easily - and perhaps suddenly - find new sources to increase your bank account. Your prospects have never been better for getting a major raise, or if self-employed, for generating new business.

On July 26 you should see an instant rise in cash flow, for at that time Jupiter will work with the Sun on your behalf. Make a presentation, schedule a performance review, or negotiate a deal. Be confident and keep your fees on the high side, because you really do have some of the best planetary support of any sign.

Actually, earlier in the month, when Mercury and Jupiter work together on July 11, you should get good financial news too, so that day may set the stage for the even better news coming on or near July 26.

Keep up your health and your strength, for at month’s end you will be running your batteries down. Treat yourself to rest and privacy. If you want to take a vacation, do so over July 24-25, plus or minus five days, a great time to sneak away. Choose a place by the sea where you can loll on a beach while you do nothing more strenuous than read a best seller and sip iced tea. You’ve had quite a lot on your plate, and you need to rest up for an exciting autumn to come.

With Saturn due to leave Virgo on July 21, not to return for nearly three decades, your health should improve noticeably, for Saturn was in very challenging angle and could have taken a toll on your constitution. As you see, in every way, life is getting better!

By now you must be a bit tired of coping with financial matters. During the past two years, Saturn has been on a mission to challenge you to find ways to stretch your income in ways that will allow you to do more with less money. The good news is that once Saturn leaves your house of credit, loans, and venture capital this month, on July 21, you will see an immediate easing of cash flow and you will find raising money, from any source, easier. This is news! Once gone, Saturn will not be back until 2036.

Admittedly, Mars has recently added stress to your financial situation by increasing your expenses while in Virgo, but happily, Mars will also depart this house one week later, on July 29. This should set up a remarkable change of events, for finally you will be able to get a grip on financial management and not always feel you’re a victim to outside influences. Indeed, you seem to have had a number of untoward events impact your financial standing, but those dark days appear to be waning.

In the meantime, before you get to the end of July, draw up a plan you can stick to and tighten your belt. This won’t be forever - soon you will reach an oasis of calm. Trust that you are almost out of the woods!

Adding to the good financial news is the fact that Jupiter, in a rare visit, will soon move back to Pisces and when he does, he’ll beam his golden light to a different (earned income) financial sector from September through mid-January. Truly, in every way, every day, you will have a chance to build the kind of financial security you dreamed of having. With a little attention to money matters now, you will awaken to the day without any financial stress, and it is coming sooner than you think.

In early July, your ruling planet, Uranus, will go retrograde from July 5 to December 5. During this phase, focus on what is on your plate now, rather than forge into completely new territories or relationships. A retrograde always signals a time to double back and focus in on all you’ve already achieved.

Once Mars enters your ninth house of travel, July 29, to stay until September 14, you’ll have a chance to hop an airplane to a city far from home. In fact, you might plan more than one trip. Short travel will also be an option, and that will be done in a much more carefree, spontaneous way than you’re done so far in 2010. Hooray!

If you want to take a long weekend trip with the one you love, choose July 23-27, when dreams of love can become actualized in the most loving way.

Finally, the full moon this month will fall in Aquarius, July 25, so something of enormous importance will come to a final culmination for you. It may be something you worked toward for months or something you had hoped would happen but almost gave up thinking it would. Whatever it is, with such supportive planets - Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter - you’ll be thrilled with the results. In fact, you may even get a gift or check at the time - that’s sure to put a smile on your face.

After having coped with so much stress, you really do have reasons to feel you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Life is about to be different, and far better, dear Aquarius.

Years when eclipses fall in your sign and your opposite sign of Cancer are never easy. You’ve been dealing with plenty of surprising news and shifts since this series of eclipses first began in July 2009. Two appeared then, and two more eclipses came by on New Year’s Eve and in January 2010. Now another pair of eclipses in Cancer-Capricorn is back. You felt the first on June 26, plus or minus five days, and that one was to be the hardest one in the whole series. Your closest relationship will now be tested. Any elements in your life that are not firmly bolted to the floor will instantly flap off and fly out the window at eclipse time.

It’s always disconcerting when people and elements in life that we assumed were permanent prove not to be. For that reason, the June 26 eclipse may have proven to be a difficult point of the year, and as you enter July you will still be dealing with all the issues that came up before.

Last month’s eclipse was in Capricorn, so you began to see what you really wanted in life.

This next one due July 11 will light your partnership area in Cancer. If your relationship is strong, you’ll know that to be true, but if it is not, you will have to decide what to do about it. It takes two to tango, so both of you will need to be on the same page. These eclipses are strong, so if you leave, it is unlikely you will mend things later - eclipses have a finality about them that is undeniable. Should that happen, be philosophical. Not all relationships are meant to endure. In the meantime, you may need to negotiate a settlement, and if so, with the Sun in Cancer, your opposite sign, it’s clear your significant other has the upper hand. Don’t even try to gain control - it won’t be possible, for that’s not the natural order of things this month. You will get further by being cooperative and conciliatory than you will by being demanding or difficult.

Through July, take very good care of your health. Sometimes an eclipse will show up a problem in your mind-body-spirit (or teeth) that needs attention. See a doctor or dentist and you’ll be on your way to feeling better.

There’ll be money questions or actions you’ll need to take too, and those will come up on July 25, the full moon, plus or minus four days. If you need to lease or buy a house, you will be ready to sign papers. Real estate opportunities sparkle for you thanks to the rare presence of Jupiter in your house of home and residence. You’ll enjoy enormous family support too, so if you need help - even on a financial level - ask for it.

Mars will be moving through your long distance travel house until July 28, so if you are hoping for a vacation, see if you can go now.

Your career will catch fire once Mars moves into your tenth house of fame and honors on July 29 until September 14, so that phase will represent your most important time this year for impressing VIPs of your credentials for a new position. You won’t be able to leave your desk in August or for the first half of September, for too much will be going on that you won’t want to miss. You’d best not book a trip, for you’d later regret not being back home when so much was going on.

On top of that, Saturn, your ruling planet, will move into your house of honors, too, a clear signal that between now and October 2012, a period of two years, you will be groomed for more responsibility and a position of leadership. The coming learning process can’t be rushed, but you won’t have to learn everything on your own. You will have someone older and more experienced help you gain mastery over your area of expertise. Saturn will give you long-term potential, and Mars will help you get started in the here and now.

Once you get to get to October 7, you will be ready to add your name to a list of candidates for a very responsible job. Knowing this, make certain your performance remains letter perfect now, because everything you do these days will be examined later when that big promotion or new position comes up. It’s all very exciting, but just remember - your name must be sterling and above reproach.
