But first read about Cancer

Cancer man can be so spiteful when hurt, and he holds a grudge for at least several lifetimes. Life is a battle to free himself from his mother. He can hurt his partner to punish mother. Sensitive inside, he can camouflage this and be cruel or put on a tough front. But of course, that’s just his ‘lower self’. His highest ideal is to nurture and cherish.
Cancer woman is a different kettle of fish altogether: she can be uncommitted and her smothering love can hurt her beloved children, especially sons. Intensively possessive and drivingly ambitious, she’s wild with fascinating secret depths. There’s such a mid-life crisis when her children (try to) leave the nest. But this is just her lower self, and her higher self is so attuned to loyalty, devotion and protection. She is flexible, strong, intuitive, magnetic, visionary and creative.

Ruled by emotions, Cancer’s shadow side is thin-skinned, petty, vengeful and manipulative. They are so sensitive to hurt. Resentful veiled insults and disguised destructive criticism are their special retaliatory art-form. Private, they are so sensitive behind the shell. They are inconsistent and fluctuating with shifting tides and moods. Instincts are their driving reasons. Brooding and worrying, they can be sympathetic (when not hurt). Home is their all-important secure base and they’re very aware of their ‘family tree’. They hang on to anything, hoard and save. You virtually have to kill a crab to make it let go, and they can drain their lovers. But they are generous, creative and attuned to dreams fantasies and visions, they like frivolity and keeping up appearances. They need to be especially careful not to absorb the moods or ‘atmosphere’ of others and need to manage their psychic receptivity.

REMEMBER: The difficult bits of our life scripts, or karmas, are there for us to learn and grow. Find the spiritual path that transforms these. Leave the old stories behind like the serpent sheds his skin. Become the powerful, loving luminous being you were born to be.

Star Signs: The Monthly Predictions for July 2013: 

Cancer
June 21 – July 22

Wellbeing
Jupiter has entered your sign and many of you will be feeling good health, joie de vivre, spirit of enterprise, success and good fortune. Mercury is Retrograde in your sign from June 26^th to July 20^th, so expect communications held back or confused, but the teaching in this is get your communications and logistics better sorted out, speak from the heart and be authentic. Avoid misunderstandings, resolve them kindly and harmoniously. Mars enters Cancer on 14^th July bringing steamy arguments, and as Mars and Mercury close towards each other, there’s great potential for very wounding sharp speech. Don’t reap breakups and hurts. But Mars steadily joining Jupiter offers you successful creative activity and you can organize things successfully and have professional success.
All the while, Pluto is at 10 Capricorn opposite bringing you huge intense striving for power and unusual creative effort, but beware over-ambition and obsession.
And of course your Sun is also caught upright in the famous Pluto-Uranus Square that’s in the heavens from June 2012 to March 2015. This offers you Revolution! wide sweeping solutions! Evolutionary transition and radical fundamental change! Saturn has been Retrograde from February 18^th to July 8^th: tidy up all the past unfinished matters.

Love and family
Marital differences and arguments in love are a danger from mid-July onwards, but if you take a break and then have a heart to heart, you will have the power to clear the air after disputes. Recognise your conflict scripts. Shed them. You are here to learn. The Rune for this situation is Nauthiz. You have almost obsessional focus to get your relationships right.

Career and money:
You are well-starred for successful business deals this month, even positive sudden change. The Grand Trine in the heavens of Saturn-Neptune Jupiter enables you to reap rewards of expansion giving successful form to ideas.

Leo: July 23 – August 22

Wellbeing:
Venus is in Leo, so do try to focus on the well-being, a general feeling of specialness and knowing what’s right for you. 2013 should be generally good for you un-damming tensions and blocks in career – and at home as well.  The first half of the month might feel like an endless series of obstacles; keep conscientious and hard working. Control your anger and diet and avoid competition and controversy. This is a good period for developing your spiritual path and attaching yourself to some sort of spiritual or healing institution or a foreign path of this type will prove good for you. Be open to sudden change, break-through or illumination here. Your psychism could increase. Try psychic development techniques. Be discerning who really are your friends. Watch on the well-being of your mother. A slow-down sets in, but the rest of the year could be good for investment in property. After the 7^th, reverse previous over-expenditure. Saturn has been Retrograde from February 18^th to July 8^th: tidy up all the past unfinished matters. Mercury is Retrograde from June 26^th to July 20^th, so expect communications held back or confused, but the teaching in this is get your communications and logistics better sorted out, speak from the heart and be authentic. Avoid misunderstandings, resolve them kindly and harmoniously

Love and family:
You’ll feel almost obsessional pressure to sort out your relationships all this year. There’s a good feeling of love, so cherish it, and don’t give way to uncertainty, melancholy or feeling unlovable.  Definitely keep steady commitment. Your spouse’s finances or career could definitely be beneficial. Don’t let the home be neglected. Be prepared to work through confrontations or tensions in a way that leaves these scripts behind for good. Make special space for love.

Career and money:
Be very careful and discerning of those around you. Be wary of those who are not what they appear. Avoid conflict or controversy.

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Wellbeing
Chiron and Neptune are opposite your Sun in the sign of Pisces. If your Sun is in early Virgo, above all avoid lies and deceit, delusion and illusion, and financial haziness. Drugs, alcohol and powerful medicaments can be even more than usually dangerous. Instead focus on ethical mystical and psychic spiritual pathways, or visionary or romantic films or literature. Focus on developing companionship of souls.  If your Sun is in mid Virgo, you may experience difficulties with your identity and how satisfactory you feel about it. Your earlier wounds may surface to be healed. Look for the right teacher/healer. Develop courage in the face of feeling unworthy or damaged. Don’t fall in to the trap of ‘going into your story’ and dwelling on your wounds. There are healing and spiritual methods which allow you to shed these old scripts, contact sources of love, power and strength, and become the luminous hero you were born to be.

You will feel like you have to overcome endless obstacles, so develop patience and responsibility. You could experience windfalls and gains this month especially after 16^th. Career transformation is possible now. It’s a good month for social life.

Saturn has been Retrograde from February 18^th to July 8^th: tidy up all the past unfinished matters.

Avoid misunderstandings, resolve them kindly and harmoniously

Love and family: Love could reach a new high. You will want to devote your time to your loved one. It’s a good time for reconciliation. Aim to settle down into a comfortable relationship. A serene atmosphere should prevail.

Career and money:
A good month, especially from July 16^th. There could be sudden breakthroughs in shared finances. Avoid over-committing yourself after 16^th July.

Libra: September 23 – October 22

Wellbeing:
If your Sun is in mid-Libra, Uranus is opposite it and this means that you are caught up in the famous ‘Uranus square Pluto’ which has been in the heavens from June 2012 to March 2015. This will bring you what will feel like revolution and wide-sweeping solutions. Look for your new paradigm: define where you want your life to go. Create a Vision Movie or a Vision Board to focus you on evolutionary transition, radical fundamental change and non-acquiescence with anything that seems to sap your will or you’re your sense of identity. Libra is great for giving himself or herself away and saying to the other person ‘let me be the glove that fits your hand’, so now is the time to focus on your will and empowerment. Friends will be high on your agenda and you will enjoy life this month.

Saturn has been Retrograde from February 18^th to July 8^th: tidy up all the past unfinished matters.

Avoid misunderstandings, resolve them kindly and harmoniously

Love and family. There could be sudden revolution in relationship, but overall this is a happy month for relationships.

Career and money:
Jupiter is in your 10^th House of career. It is one of the three corners of the ‘Saturn – Neptune – Jupiter’ Grand Trine that runs in the heavens all this month. This will bring you career enlargement or well-being, and the potential to reap a harvest by putting your ideas and intuitions into concrete form in your career. But you will have to put in the work. Grand Trines can make us lazy. Gains and income will improve after 16^th July. Luck will be good this month. Overall you will feel quite obsessional to have enough money and resources.

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

Wellbeing:
Goodness! Goodness! Goodness! This is such a transformative and difficult time for Scorpios (and people with Sun at the very end of Libra). Saturn and the North Node are converging: transiting across your Sun! They actually meet with peak force at 8 Scorpio on 17^th September. So all this month, you may be feeling a measure of unwellness, professional difficulties and lack of confidence. And you will have almost obsessional focus on the twin-issue of self-expression AND fitting into relationship at the same time – it’s the two sides of the coin. It’s a hard period, but there is divine purpose: to refine your essence, to make you let go of parts of your identity and your life that should no longer be there. It is a real death and rebirth time for Scorpios.  All the eclipses of 2013 have a massive effect in the relationship area of life, for Scorpios and those with Sun in Libra born after 17^th October.  There are good spiritual openings this month.

Saturn has been Retrograde from February 18^th to July 8^th: tidy up all the past unfinished matters. Mercury is Retrograde from June 26^th to July 20^th, so expect communications held back or confused, but the teaching in this is get your communications and logistics better sorted out, speak from the heart and be authentic. Avoid misunderstandings, resolve them kindly and harmoniously

Love and family: A really key time to take action both to be yourself, and to succeed at relationship. Beware being combative or being fixed and inflexible: these negatives should be seen as the gateway to harmony and commitment. The Rune here is Nauthiz.

Career and money: Perseverance and determination will bring you success. Be stoic and serious. Luck will rise this month. Career betterment comes from 16^th. Debts will lower. Your mind could be very focussed on property but don’t let this become obsession.

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Wellbeing: There’s a huge build-up of planets in your difficult 8^th house: Mars Jupiter Sun and Mercury from early on in the month. The 16^th of this month seems to be the turning point in 2013 for you. Do beware expenses and liabilities rising now. Do be prepared for hurdles to arise from now in shared ventures. There could be chances for making money, but there is the risk that this could involve secrets or even illegality, so be circumspect and cautious. Do avoid being in a secret relationship. Try to be open and ethical because tides of secrecy are about to arise around you. Keep on the right side of the law. Health could slide and you need to be especially careful to keep your relationships with children sound and well-cared-for. You need to be aware of healing possibilities. Do psychic development, maybe yoga or astrology.

You need to defend your position and fight back, but only in ways that are ethical. Unrest and controversies in the work environment are a serious risk. You will need to adopt a stoic and serious attitude to handling your finances all through the second half of 2013.

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

Wellbeing: Pluto is at 10 Capricorn, so this is a time of intense, massive transformation for those of you born between 23^rd December and 8^th January. 2013 brings your luck & standing to a new pinnacle after a few years of mediocre results & growth. But take it easy after 16^th July when you experience a temporary dip and may have to ride some opposition. Your Sun is caught up in the famous Pluto-Uranus Square that’s in the heavens from June 2012 to March 2015. This offers you Revolution! wide sweeping solutions!

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

Wellbeing: Obviously the astrology of your Sun Sign is only a part of your predictive astrology, but Aquarius Sun is not so affected by the movements of the planets this month. The North Node and Saturn are transiting through your 10^th House of career all year, so you’ll have steady obsessional focus in that area, and all the Eclipses of 2103 will un-dam dammed-up blocks and tensions in the home and career axis. New directions and new possibilities for career will open up for you, though a lot of your life will be fairly peaceful and serene this year.

Aries: March 21 – April 19

Wellbeing:
Due to the position of Mars, your tendency to be embroiled in controversies, arguments and sharp speech is likely to be no less this month! Your speech is likely to be harsh and you will lose friends. You will get into battles with your family who will take offense at you. If you were born between 26^th March and 10^th April, Uranus at 12 Aries could gift you with originality, foresight and organizational flair, but negatively this could be very dangerous and you could also or alternatively experience huge very sudden changes for good or ill. This could be a time of great upset and crisis. It all depends what you are reaping now, and how you have been living and treating people. There is a tendency for you to be fixed in your attitudes without regards for consequences. Of course, your Sun is caught up in the long-running Uranus-Pluto square in the heavens: great revolution for good or ill.

The Nodes of the Moon are in your Taurus-Scorpio 2^nd – 8^th House axis, and the Eclipses are there this year. You may attract negative people or situations. There is the possibility of unexpected financial issues or maybe great loss.

Be very circumspect and ethical about your financial dealings. A gain from the family of your partner is possible.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

Wellbeing: Although the month opens with a positive attitude and outgoing mood, it’s actually a difficult time for Taurus Sun. If you were born between 16^th April and 2^nd May then Saturn transiting opposite your Sun gives reduced mental faculties/physical health, pessimistic attitude, estrangement, family troubles and professional difficulties, often experienced through another person. If you were born between 27^th April and 13^th May on 5^th May (+/- 8 days) with your Sun at 15 degrees Taurus (+/- 8 degrees), then the South Node of the Moon transiting conjunct your Sun it. Saturn opposition Sun means you may need to deal with felt lack of appreciation from father and problems with authority figures. There could be lack of clarity, indecision and poor judgement. But there could be quite a focus on spiritual groups.

There could be fall in position due to taking wrong decision. Take utmost caution to protect yourself from allegation for the rest of 2013. Taurus Sun should do the groundwork in career, get the support of superiors and know the technicalities if success is to be expected.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

Wellbeing:
July starts with Mars transiting through Gemini: how many people have you upset and alienated through your sharp speech?  Avoid being egoistical in your speech. Don’t enjoy fights. Be careful about spilling your emotional toxins on to others. Jupiter is in your second house bringing increase in wealth – but be careful your gains don’t drain away. Be careful of your health. You might want to focus on spiritual matters and even be a bit of a hermit or attach to a spiritual institution. You will attract new friends but they might be untrue to you and there could be hurt in the long run. Improve your health and purify your diet. Maybe join a gym. Avoid over-doing things. Meditation or physical spiritual regimes are needed to calm your unfocussed mind.

Saturn has been Retrograde from February 18^th to July 8^th: tidy up all the past unfinished matters. Mercury is Retrograde from June 26^th to July 20^th, so expect communications held back or confused, but the teaching in this is get your communications and logistics better sorted out, speak from the heart and be authentic.

Love and family:
Your volatility in love earlier in this year should be stabilizing now, but your focus will be on work rather than relationship. A secret relationship could cost you a lot this year.

Career and money:
You will work hard. But don’t give way to agitations. Be clear what services you aim to provide to others. Make practical steps to achieve your goals. If you have launched your work properly and sensibly at the beginning of the year, then your will reap the benefits by the end of the year. Maintain peaceful attitudes with co-workers. Be flexible rather than rigid. Overheads could suck out all your profits and savings. Be very clear and sober about money. But with the right choices and a grounded approach, this could be a good year.

A Footnote from the power of Ancient Vedic Astrology

1. Mercury is Retrograde until July 20th: Difficulties in communications, commerce, banking and organisation, with the divine meaning: pay more attention to these: tidy these things up.

2. Saturn is Retrograde until July 8^th. Things have been long drawn out to teach us patience and soundness. Karmas will ripen to put us on course for our life and destiny. Issues from the past arise. Maybe secrets will be revealed with Saturn in the same sign as Rahu the North node of the Moon, and Jupiter aspecting them to bring things to the light. People with Moon, Ascendant or Sun in Sidereal or Vedic Libra (Western Scorpio) can be having a terribly hard even depressing time, but it will come good for them if they learn their lessons with patience and let go of those things in their lives that must now die.

3. Saturn and Rahu (The North Node of the Moon) are in the sidereal or Vedic Sign of Libra (this is western sign of Scorpio) bringing all of us driven even obsessional maybe hard or patient lessons on the issue of ‘Me First versus Relationships’, with the goal of balancing expressing of yourself with true loving relationship.

3. Jupiter is in the sidereal or Vedic Sign of Gemini (this is western Taurus) blessing this difficult Saturn-Rahu energy with divine intelligence and inspiration.

4. Jupiter, Mercury, Sun and Mars are all in the sidereal or Vedic Sign of Gemini (this is western Taurus) bringing us multiplicity, better breakthrough in our intelligence and inspiration, new ideas, thoughts, breakthrough and activity. Beware scatter.

5. Kala Sarpa Yoga: All the planets are inside the orbit of the Nodes of the Moon now. In other words Rahu the North Node and Ketu the South Node have all the planets inside their grip until September 25^th: i.e. all the planets are to one side of the Rahu – Ketu opposition. This will lead to unexpectedness in your life and in the fates of nations, also imbalances, disruption and disharmony. Don’t let the games and fears of your mind have undue substance. Keep calm and carry on. Get healing. Find genuine ways of Empowerment. Energy healing and Munay Ki Shamanism are particularly empowering. For some it’s meditation or yoga that will keep them solid, focusses and positive. Great things can happen if you don’t fall prey to the tricks of the mind. For half of every month, the Moon moves outside the grip of Rahu – Ketu opposition, but this doesn’t make it any easier because this means that Moon is then alone and unsupported, which again can lead to instability of mind or can create fear and or anxiety in itself during this crucial 2 – 3 month difficult period.

6. Vedic Love and Relationships Astrology is far more powerful, accurate and incisive than western astrology. Get a Relationships Astrology Reading from Michael which will combine the valuable parts of western astrology such as Chiron and the outer planets with the powerful sureness of the ancient Vedic Astrology of Relationships (including the Ashta Kutas System: the eight facets of will the two of you be on the same wavelength; Strii Diirga (will there be respect?); the Detriments (is yours a forbidden combination? Will you be roped to misfortune?), the Beneficial Supplements (will there be joint sense of purpose? Is there magnetic attraction and is that good or bad for you?) and Kuja Dosha (Mars issues: is one of you just too assertive for the other?)
