Aries:
Your ruling planet Mars has moved into your Zodiac Sign, giving you a supercharged boost of energy. Drive and determination are the themes of the month. As a fiery Aries you are usually pretty energetic. Now you are turbocharged. So, decide on your priority and tackle it. Taurus: The theme for 2020 is money matters. July’s planetary alignment encourages you to stay positive, to keep those ideas flowing. Your mind is likely to be more active, plotting ways that you can boost your income or curb your spending habits. A short journey may help lift your spirits. Gemini: Last month was the height of Gemini Season with an Eclipse in your Sign and other planets lined up in Gemini. A makeover was in order in many areas of your life. This month sees you sorting through your options. You may still need to juggle a few areas of your life. Cancer: Feminine energy is strong in your life, meaning that women of all shapes and sizes – friends, family members and colleagues – are highlighted. It also means that it is time for you to nurture the feminine side of your own nature with spa treatments, massages, meditation, water activities and communing with nature.
Leo: This is your time of the year to slow down, count
your blessings and reassess how you can be of service to others. Every year, early July presents you with this opportunity. You could plan a health or luxury retreat. If this is not possible, then you can treat yourself at home. Virgo: Allies is an old-fashioned word, but this is what you need this month. This means you need friends or groups that are formally co-operating with you for a shared purpose, most likely – although not necessarily – a professional one. In other words, you need people who are on your side. Libra: A man – friend, lover, relative, colleague – challenges you as the feisty planet Mars moves into your opposite Zodiac Sign, Aries. Your usual equilibrium is tested. The trick is to stand your ground if necessary but avoid throwing down the gauntlet. Matters are likely to calm down by July 28. Scorpio: This is your month for big ideas. Usually this means planning a trip to a foreign country, but you may be restricted by the pandemic lockdown. Alternatives are sports, politics, spiritual inspiration, online conferences, academic study or cultural activities. You need to find activities that lift your spirits.

Sagittarius: July sees you examine the ways in
which you invest your time, energy and money. This is not about your personal habits but rather how you reach out to others. If you are married or in a business partnership then your joint resources may be under the microscope. Capricorn: Partnerships are highlighted this month. If you are single then you may reassess your situation and make moves to either partner up or shore up your personal alone time. If you are in a committed relationship then you may need to nurture your loved ones as events occur in their life. Aquarius: It is time to assess your work/life balance and make sure that you are maintaining a healthy balance. You may need to discard habits that no longer support your health and well-being, and adopt new ways of working or living. It is your daily life, the minutiae, that is highlighted. Pisces: Creativity is the theme. It’s time to let your artistic side out to play. The idea is to have fun – to play music, pick up a paintbrush, pen a poem or dance a jig. You don’t have to be perfect. Rather, follow the example of children who love to laugh and play.
Calm the mind and still the soul Tai chi improves co-ordination, balance and muscle strength, and it challenges the brain to work in different ways. It also stills the soul and calms the mind – especially in these trying times of isolation, uncertainty and fear of the unknown. Tai chi develops confidence in movement and improves posture. Rising Moon Tai Chi is a COVID-19-safe school, and business principal Jenny Harrison has resumed face-to-face classes, ensuring that all instructors and participants follow strict protocols of sanitising and social distancing. Numbers are limited to nine students per class, enabling everyone to enjoy a safe and enjoyable learning

environment. Throughout isolation, Jenny improvised so her students could still enjoy tai chi at a time when it was most needed. Commencing Zoom classes online and starting a YouTube channel has provided an outlet for Jenny and her passionate students. The Zoom classes will continue, with two evening online sessions.
New students are welcome, so why not jump out of isolation and into a martial art. Visit YouTube and search for Rising Moon Tai Chi School to get a free taste of what tai chi is all about. RISING MOON TAI CHI T: 0418 566 216 W: www.risingmoontaichi.net FB: risingmoontaichi INSTA: risingmoontaichi
