usual. Social connections are always important for you financially, but more so this month. A partnership or joint venture is likely.
The current love seems financially supportive. The current love’s financial planet went retrograde on April 20 and is still retrograde this month. So he or she needs to be more cautious in financial dealings. Your beloved is experiencing a slowdown in their financial affairs, so they might as well be helpful to you. Curiously, this focus on you brings more prosperity to him or her (but there are delays involved).
The Sun makes beautiful aspects to Jupiter from the 2nd to the 5th, which brings luck in speculations and ‘happy money’ – money that is earned in happy ways. Children and children figures prosper in this period too.
The love planet’s move into your money house shows a shift in your love attitudes. Now, wealth and material gifts are romantic turn-ons. Singles are very much attracted by these. For singles love opportunities come as you pursue your normal financial goals and with people involved in your finances. A visit to the accountant or financial planner could become much more than that.

Your 4th house of home and family was very strong last month and is still strong in the month ahead – until the 22nd. The planetary power, figuratively speaking, is furthest away from your career and outer activities. Thus these activities are less important for the moment. (Your career planet is still retrograde all month.) This will change in coming months, but this is the case now. The cosmos impels you to ‘cater to your base’ – the home, your family and your emotional life. The cosmos has its own way of arranging these things. You become more nostalgic. You remember – vividly – old, seemingly obscure events. The dream life becomes more active and you feel a need to ponder your dreams’ meanings. The urge to probe the unconscious and emotional side of life – the interior life – is stronger than the pulls of the outer world. The universe is not denying you a career or career progress – on the contrary, it is forcing you to become emotionally healthier and more stable so that future career progress can happen. Every now and then we have to go backwards in order to go forward. This is one of those times.
There are other good reasons to focus more on the emotional life. Health is not what it should be and still needs watching. Overall your energy is not what it should be. Interior activity requires less energy than outer activity.
Continue to enhance the health by resting more, spending quiet times at home, scheduling in more massages and natural treatments. Diet is still important, until the 6th. After that, give more attention to the heart. Regular chest massage will be beneficial. Schedule more leisure activities with the children and family. Laugh more. Joy itself is a powerful healing therapy these days.
Your health will start to improve dramatically after the 20th. Perhaps some pill, herb or therapist will get the credit for this, or some miracle diet or supplement. But the truth of the matter is that the planetary power shifted in your favour. The other things were just the side effects of this shift.
Finance is becoming less important this month. On the 5th Venus leaves the money house and it is basically empty during July (only the Moon will move through there on the 19th and 20th). Financial goals – the short-term ones anyway – are more or less achieved and your focus is elsewhere. Venus will make nice aspects to Jupiter on the 18th and 19th. This brings a nice payday and happy romantic meetings for singles.

The month ahead is basically happy and healthy, but two eclipses will create excitement and change. You’re basically in a party period now. Your 5th house of fun and creativity became powerful on July 22 and is still powerful until the 22nd of this month. The eclipses might interrupt the party but they won’t stop it.
The Lunar Eclipse of the 7th is the stronger of the two – as far as you’re concerned. It affects Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope. So take it easy that period and avoid stressful situations. This eclipse occurs in your 11th house and affects family and friends. There are life-changing kinds of dramas happening with them. Repairs could be needed in the home. Its impact on Mars shows a need to redefine yourself and your image – the way you think about yourself and the way you want to be seen by others. This is generally a good thing. We are always changing and growing and every now and then we need a redefinition. But this seems to happen in a forced way. Events force the issue, and this can make it stressful or unwelcome. The marriage and social lives of children and children figures get tested. There is a crisis here.
The Solar Eclipse of the 21st occurs right on the cusp of your 5th and 6th houses – thus it impacts on the affairs of both these houses. This eclipse is strongest on children and children figures in your life. They have personal life-changing dramas. Most of the time these are normal things – sexual awakening, leaving school and going off to college, marriage or divorce etc. But sometimes, especially if they haven’t been careful in dietary matters, the eclipse can bring a detox of the body. The body throws off its effete material. Often this gets diagnosed as disease, but astrologically speaking it isn’t. The children are redefining themselves now (especially the oldest) and this will manifest as a new look – a new image – a new presentation to the world. This will be a six-month process. They will also be forced to make important financial changes. You can have job changes and changes in your health regime.
Overall your health is good. The eclipse can produce a scare, but most likely it will not be more than that.

Last month’s Solar Eclipse of August 21 could have brought job changes. These often occur within the same company or situation, possibly with another one. If this is the case for you, the job changes seem very fortunate. Your 6th house of health and work is very powerful all month, but especially until the 22nd. Job seekers have no problem whatsoever. There are all kinds of job opportunities for you. You can pick and choose. The New Moon of the 29th will further clarify this situation. All the information you need for a right decision will come to you, right up to the next New Moon in October.
Health is good, yet there is a focus on health. Hopefully this indicates preventive regimes and diet. Often when the health is good and the 6th house is this strong there can be an over-emphasis on this area: trying to fix things that are not really broken. Or magnifying little things into big things.
Finances seem happy. Venus is in your 5th house until the 20th – this shows happy money – money that is earned in pleasurable ways. There is a joy in the act of money-making. Sometimes this shows that financial opportunities or important contacts happen as you’re having fun – at a resort or park or the theatre. You spend money on fun kinds of things but can earn from them as well. Often something that starts out as an enjoyable hobby can become a business enterprise. You’re always a financial risk-taker, but until the 20th you are even more so than usual. The problem with this aspect – though
