YOUR STARS

Flavour of the Times - If June was faster moving than usual, July slows it all down. It is more emotional too and maybe a bit selfcentred, clingy even. It is family-centred as well and you may find yourself setting personal goals in your home that will in time, give you a greater sense of security. It’s a good time at the beginning of the month to do something to provide for the longer term as well. I’d recommend a little caution though, as there are some limitations built in to what can be achieved.

CANCER

June 22 – July 23 After the mad social, maybe slightly frantic Geminian whirl of June, you can start to feel better as this month opens – it’s as if your personal needs are finally getting some room to breathe. You may feel that a lot of emotion has been held back inside of you and now is the time to work out what you can to make yourself feel safer and more secure. LEO

July 24 – August 23 There is a danger of misjudgments causing you to come unstuck this month as July may not work quite as well for you as you might hope. There is a risk of false starts, overblown ideas and personal projects that other people just see as self indulgent and selfish. You may be seen as emotional insensitive and perhaps petulant as a result. Patience is definitely required now. VIRGO

August 24 – September 23 If you are involved in a radical restructuring of your life, this month provides the chance to check out if your plans will achieve for you what you hope they will. The devil is in the detail and you may be in your element fine tuning things to suit you better and make your life more secure. Your natural analytic nature should stop you getting too emotional at the full moon on 13th. LIBRA

September 24 – October 23 Mars is still opposing your sign this month but you may be feeling a little less pressurised than you have lately. You may sense that it is a good time to try to pull people together and create emotional connections that will lead to greater harmony and balance between people. Don’t lose sight of your own personal needs at this time.

SCORPIO

October 24 – November 22 You may believe that you are very emotionally connected but how much do you actually show this to your nearest and dearest? The depth of feeling in you is undeniable and now is a good time to reveal it. The importance of family ties and how you create a nurturing spirit of safety and security around your home life will be emphasised. SAGITTARIUS

November 23 – December 22 When did you last nurture your ‘inner child’? Yours is a playful sign so this month is a great opportunity to have fun and indulge yourself a little. However, with Jupiter challenging the new moon, there is a definite risk of overdoing things, so keep an eye on any possible excesses because they could come back to haunt you at the full moon on 13th. CAPRICORN

December 23 – January 20 Emotions that have been well hidden may come bursting to the surface this month. You may have been taking on far too much responsibility for the well-being of others, so perhaps you can find time now to look at your own needs. As they say in flight safety briefings: put your own mask on first before trying to assist others! AQUARIUS

January 21 – February 19 You get some relief from the over stimulation of last month and can now spend some time working out which of all the ideas on offer are actually going to suit you best. You are probably restructuring how your life works but this is an emotional rather than a mental process, so try to recognise what nurtures you as a unique individual and follow that instinct.

THE ASTRO-GUIDE

PISCES

February 20 – March 20 The social whirl of last month may have left you exhausted and as usual, you have spread yourself far too thin. It is a time to take stock and find some space for nurturing yourself. Neptune is about to go retrograde which is an energy that invites you to live in the real world and wake up to reality as it is, not what you would like it to be. Spiritually, invest in your own self-worth. ARIES

March 21 – April 20 You may still sense the fiery force of Mars in your sign but it lacks direction and purpose now, so you should definitely ease your foot off the accelerator. When you do, you may notice that there are things that need attention in your life that you should slow down for and consider. If you really do have to be so active, look for the DIY jobs that need doing! TAURUS

April 21 – May 21 This is a good month for asking why you are doing what you do. You may have felt you are going through the motions or you may feel a constant sense of disruption from your usual routines that leaves you feeling ungrounded. Your need for security is very important to you so I’d advise you to spend time reflecting on what it is inside you that is looking for some love and TLC at the moment. GEMINI

May 22 – June 21 You had a lot of fun last month, but this month, the emotions catch up with you and may have left you feeling a little high and dry. There may still be opportunities for flirtations and hints about possible new relationships but how well do you really understand what you really, really want (or need for that matter)? A good time to spend some quiet time thinking about all this!

To really understand what this means for you on a personal level during 2022, I would recommend that you consider booking a comprehensive personal astrological consultation that is completely specific to you and your life. This will illuminate many things that you may not have considered and it will enable you to really take advantage of the positive energies and avoid the negative ones throughout the year. Chart readings with me start at £67 and last for an hour on Zoom or Skype. Please go to www.astroguidance.co.uk for more details and to book a session.
