Deborah's Monthly Forcasts for JULY 2009.

"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born." Carl Gustav Jung

JULY/2009 - SUN SIGN FORECASTS ARIES: Your imagination and intuition become much deeper and penetrating during this time period. This is an excellent time period for any form of imaginative work, such as fiction writing or any artistic endeavor. This is also a good time for meditation and other religious or spiritual practices. You can tap a much deeper level of sensitivity and intuition than is normally possible. This increased sensitivity is subtle in your daily life, and is most evident when you do something that draws upon your imagination, such as a creative artistic activity. You may also become very interested in some particular period in history or a particular style of art or music. A particular form of religious symbolism or ritual may grip your imagination now. Taurus: During this time period you are more tolerant, forgiving, and generous than usual. You feel good about yourself and are usually in a cheerful mood. Domestic life and family matters are particularly important to you now, and you are likely to spend a great deal of time with family and close friends. You may also decide to make some kind of home improvement - perhaps fixing up or expanding your home, or landscaping. You could move to a larger home or to a place where you feel happier and more at home. The nurturing side of you is highlighted, and you enjoy helping others, cooking, and baking. Gemini: During this time period you are planning big things for the future. You become excited about an idea that promises much greener pastures for you. Your enthusiasm and optimism are so strong that it is difficult for you to realistically evaluate the situation. If others question or doubt your plan, you quickly brush their concerns aside, as you pursue a grander vision. Hopefully, you have done your homework or else your grand dream can go up in smoke. This is an excellent time to spread your wings, to travel and visit new places. You may read something that causes you to view life in a very different light. Cancer: An opportunity may come to you, or you may become aware of an alternative route to reaching your goals. You are likely to meet with resistance from other people, and competitors or domineering people may try to squelch any move you make. You may also form an alliance with an older or more experienced individual whose experience can aid you as well. So be careful in your work-related relationships as a stressful combination of both good and bad developments can seriously affect the course of your career. Avoid associations with individuals who may try to dominate or restrict you later. Leo: Getting what you really want and moving toward achieving the things which are important to you may involve surrendering something or eliminating something from your life at this time. Perhaps an attitude, a situation, or an attachment that has been impeding you is now released. You feel free to concentrate on the things that are most important to you now. Major, long-term changes can be successfully begun now - a lifestyle change or a regimen of self-improvement, for instance. Virgo: Your imagination runs wild during this time period! You are attracted to any kind of fantasy, mysticism, or imaginative work. Of course, the extent to which this affects you and the precise ways it manifests depends largely on your own personal tastes and inclinations in these matters. But regardless of your temperament, your imagination will soar at this time. Many people find that they simply must travel under this astrological influence. The same, everyday environment and routine is exceedingly irksome, and a more exotic, imaginative setting is needed. Libra: You are in a jovial and fun-loving mood during this time period. You are likely to enjoy a wonderful time at a party and take part in entertaining social events. You can expect lots of laughter, jokes, and happy times with others during this period. You are likely to put chores and other responsibilities off for another day. This may annoy your spouse or other family members. Your desire to socialize and have a good time can easily clash with others' desires to have you do the work that they expect of you. Scorpio: Freedom, rebellion, and resistance to authority are the key issues for this time period. You urgently want greater freedom from responsibilities in your personal life now. You may be tempted to gamble on a get-rich-quick scheme so that you won't have so many financial obligations. If you have worked for many years for a company that provides a retirement plan, you may decide to retire now. You may start up your own business so you can make your own hours. In one way or another, you are tired of years of obligations and restrictions and you feel that now is the time to fully enjoy the fulfillment of a more independent life style. Sagittarius: New ideas are likely to come to you via a number of different methods - classes, books, and discussions. You should take advantage of these opportunities to expand your mental horizons. You have the option to refuse the opportunity, but you would be foolish to do so as you will learn a great deal and it will be very enjoyable as well. You are receptive to new ideas at this time, and you also are able to see your life in a clear light. This is a good time to take stock of the general direction of your life and career and make decisions regarding any needed adjustments. Capricorn: Cooperation and assistance in business relationships is high now and, consequently, significant growth and progress in your career is likely at this time. Communications and contacts in business and professional circles open up, with opportunities to expand your services and professional involvements. Take advantage of these opportunities because they will prove to be very beneficial. There is no need to take risks so avoid wild speculation; a very positive avenue for growth is available to you now. This growth and progress in career is very personally fulfilling and rewarding because the work is meaningful to you, not just a means of making money. Aquarius: Hard work and concentrated effort are required at this time. If you are able to meet the demands placed on you now, you may be able to complete a task that has been hanging over your head for a long time, and you may receive recognition and appreciation from others. However, this is definitely a difficult, challenging time and these rewards will come only as the result of constant dedication to your work. Even with dedication and perseverance, the rewards may be meager compared to what you feel that you deserve. Pisces: This is a time when you formulate a new "strategy" or at least a major modification to your current plan. This is a time when college students change their majors, people in the business world seek new markets for their product or change their product line, and scientists decide to try a new experimental design, research method, or technique. In one way or another, you see the limits of your current approach and you make changes in it now. There is a particular emphasis on removing whatever is superfluous or wasteful.
