Free Cancer Horoscope for July 2010
Wow, what’s a Cancer to do in July 2010? The planets are lining up on all four angles of your solar chart (translation: strong sectors of your chart), and there’s no escaping the energy now. There’s so much going on, we’re going to have to break it down.
Part 1: The sun’s in your sign from June 21 through July 21. Mercury’s also in your sign from June 25 to July 9. There’s also a new moon solar eclipse in your sign on July 11. All of these factors put an emphasis on your personality, on your unique collection of qualities. Whatever is Cancerian in you gets emphasized (an appreciation for food perhaps?). The eclipse is potentially significant, and it represents a new beginning for you in some way. But what that new beginning might relate to depends completely on your own particular life and circumstances. It’s an astrological wild card that gets its meaning from the hand you’ve already been dealt lately by circumstance.
Then there’s Uranus in Aries at the top of your chart, opposing Saturn in Libra at the bottom of your chart. Uranus in Aries can relate to your career. More broadly, it relates to your personal style–how you appear to others from a distance–your reputation. Uranus in Aries tries to make you more distinct, more visible, easy to distinguish from others. Saturn in Libra at the bottom of your chart tries to do something of the opposite, make you conform, blend in, get along, be more private.
Jupiter in Aries is also at the top of your chart in July. It sides with Uranus in Aries and has roughly the same goals. It is being squared by Pluto in Capricorn, the sign opposite yours. Pluto sides with Saturn in Libra, although it has a tendency to play out more in terms of close relationships with mates or partners.
All of these influences agree that you need to make the ultimate decisions about your life, but they disagree strongly as to whether you should be emphasizing the ways you differ from others or the ways in which you are the same.
No one influence is exactly right or exactly wrong, which may be why the main players (Capricorn, Uranus, and Saturn) are scheduled to continue arguing about this for the next 12 months and beyond. The planets will pause to take breaks from the argument and regroup (which is good for you), but they’re not letting you off the ultimate hook for a good long time.
There’s no standard cheat sheet for navigating these competing impulses, which is why the planets insist you’ll need to make up your own mind based on your own situation. But I will say that the strongest influence is Pluto–and he is demanding, one way or another, that you get your relationships with others straightened out. Perhaps if you can focus on that, you can figure out how much to conform and how much to break free of conformity.
I’m not saying this will be easy, but you cannot complain that the planets aren’t paying any attention to you!
