That quote on the opposite page concisely summarizes the reason for the interest astrologers have long had in C. G. Jung. This book gives us some useful insight into Jung’s work with astrology and how he related astrology to key concepts such as synchronicity and archetypes. The authors do a creditable job of culling specific thoughts on astrology from correspondence and from various works on subjects not necessarily having anything to do with the subject itself and then placing these snippets in a context that provides a broad view of the value Jung saw in astrology as a tool in his own work. What Rossi and Le Grice have done here should be required reading for any astrologer who might be tempted to do what astrologers too often do, which…

Unlike some other years, in which only one or two of the planets seem to be in charge of the action as the others keep to the sidelines, during the next 12 months they will all pitch in at one time or another. That makes for an interesting year, with some periods during which you may feel as if you are on easy street and others during which you’ll feel as if you have to give all your attention, every day, to handling what the planets are offering up. This may sound at first as if you are facing major challenges at every turn, but it’s closer to the truth to say that you will be facing previews of major challenges to come over the next two years. The most…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Living space. The mantra “there is no place like home,” rings true for you this week, Aries. With the Sun in your solar 4th forming a trine to Jupiter in your solar 8th on the 5th, focus on making your home more comfortable and roomy. That may range from repairing to renovating to redecorating. Spend what you need on beautifying it, but don’t break the bank. 9th-16th: Friends and family. The New Moon (solar eclipse) falls in your solar 4th on the 12th, so you will not only make your home look good, but you can turn it into a place where friends and family can gather.

On the 5th, the Sun in your sign forms a trine with Jupiter in your romance sector (solar 5th), so take the lead in arranging a weekend getaway for you and your significant other. If you are single, do the same for a group of old friends. Make all the arrangements and the rest will just fall into place 9th-16th: Visualizations. This is the time for new beginnings that will positively affect the course of your career. The New Moon (solar eclipse) falls in your sign on the 12th, which guarantees that change is on the horizon.

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Taking the lead. You may be called on to give a speech or lead a group discussion at work or in the classroom, Libra. On the 5th, Mercury in your solar 11th forms an opposition to Mars in your creativity sector (solar 5th), so while you may be nervous, you will also be resolute in delivering your opinions in a passionate and diplomatic manner. 9th-16th: Moving up. With the New Moon (solar eclipse) falling in your solar 10th on the 12th, that speech that you gave last week could be a professional turning point. You may impress higher-ups, which means you could see a promotion, salary increase, or a change for the better. Use your intuition to determine if you should take the lead, then ask…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Getting together. You will give your significant other all the attention he or she deserves now, Capricorn. With the Sun in your solar 7th forming a trine to Jupiter in your solar 11th on the 5th, let your friends know you have not forgotten them either. Arrange a get-together where you can all relax, socialize, and just enjoy each other’s company. 9th-16th: Fresh start. The New Moon (solar eclipse) appears in your solar 7th on the 12th, so this is the perfect time to make a fresh start with your partner or a close friend.

Summer is now in full swing, so we hope the weather is warm (yet not too warm), and the skies are clear where you are. The first of our two features this month is about a basic part of astrology, sign rulers, that often is taught to students in a perfunctory manner, as an item in a list, without fully explaining the real underlying meaning of each sign’s ruler. “The Celestial Key to Your Sign,” on page 32, takes a quite different approach, showing us the true underlying relationship between the sign and the ruler, and how the two of them work together. Mercury goes retrograde this month, so our second feature, “Finding Your Personal Wavelength,” shows how it is possible to get in sync with the little planet of…

According to the principles of numerology, the year 2018 reduces to 2 (2+0+1+8=11=2), a number that lends itself to reflecting on the goals that you have set for yourself, and how you want to go about making them happen. Even if you have been wildly successful, life is about opening yourself up to new challenges and moving in new directions. Surround yourself with people who believe in you so that you can manifest your hopes and dreams. We add the number for the current year to the month number (January is 1, December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate your vibration for the month. FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month Sun-1 vibrations will make you feel as if…

ARIES ⋆ LOVE: First Week. The heat of July activates your impetuous nature. A flip comment launches an attempt at flirting. Second Week. Venus enters Virgo on the 9th, making you more selective of prospective sweethearts. Avoid the temptation to nitpick. Third Week. A conflict arises between being too critical and overcompensating. Walk the middle path. Fourth Week. On the 26th, Mercury stations retrograde in Leo, your house of romance (the 5th). Past comments trip you up. ⋆ MONEY: The current transit of Uranus through the house of your income and assets (the 2nd) sets the stage for sudden spending on electronics and all forms of technology as you make the minor details of your life move even faster. On the 10th, Jupiter stations direct in Scorpio, the house of shared…

No matter what sign the Sun was in when you were born, you probably think you know everything there is to know about it. Maybe so and maybe not, but those standard statements you read about each sign often miss some important details, details that can be found in the relationship between each sign and the planet that “rules” it. Rulership is an old-fashioned term that at first may give the impression that a body like the Sun, which rules Leo, literally tells that sign what to do and how to act. Not so, as though there might be a tiny grain of truth to that idea, the actual relationship between a ruler and its sign is more like a partnership, with the ruler sometimes acting like a mentor (when…

On these two pages you will find the basic planting rules for the month of July, derived from ancient traditions. Even if you’ve never planted by the Moon, these rules are easy to apply. All it takes to raise a good “crop” (or tend to your house plants) is to have a little knowledge of lunar lore, and to give your plants the care they deserve! 29th from 11:36 p.m. through 2nd to 12:30 p.m. Full Moon, Aquarius.

For the first part of this month’s column, I intend to discuss Mars, and, trying to stay true to the spirit of that most ruddy of planets, I will do so no matter what anyone says about it. Part of the reason for this: the weather. As I type this, the Colorado temperature is dropping rapidly toward the single digits, for we Coloradans find ourselves in the darkest part of the year, right around the winter solstice. Due to the cold outside, I feel I should discuss the most heated of all the planets (symbolically speaking, of course). The Sun-Mars Opposition I know that as you read this those of you living the Northern Hemisphere find yourselves in the warmest season of the year, with the plant life flourishing all…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Making contacts. Take advantage of networking opportunities that will come your way, Taurus.

Jupiter stations direct in your solar 7th on the 10th, so if you have had an insurmountable conflict with a friend, partner, or colleague, the good news is that you can see the way clear to striking a compromise. This will serve as a learning experience so you will know how to nip disagreements in the bud as soon as they occur. 17th-23rd: Outdoor…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Balancing act. Try to balance your time between work and your significant relationships, Leo. When Mercury in your sign forms an opposition to Mars in your solar 7th on the 5th, business meetings after hours may take away from family time. Even if this is vital to your career, make an effort to be there for those you love. You’ll be glad you did. 9th-16th: Creative exploration. Despite those work demands, continue to set aside special time for those you love. With Venus entering your solar 2nd on the 9th, you and your significant other, or a close friend, may find a creative project or business to do together. Explore all your options, since this could be the perfect solution to how to spend more time…

YOUR JULY-GUIDE 1st-8th: Long-distance travel. If you have not made plans for a vacation this summer, try to go abroad, or at least to someplace you have never been, Scorpio. With Jupiter in your sign forming a trine to the Sun in your solar 9th, your love of adventure and learning can be combined into a fantastic trip, especially if those you love are receptive to it as well. 9th-16th: International study. With the New Moon (solar eclipse) occurring in your solar 9th on the 12th, the desire to experience another culture may extend beyond the summer months. A fascinating trip could inspire you to go back to school for a certificate, a degree, or to take continuing education courses about other cultures, including history, cuisine, and language. 17th-23rd: New…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Feeling fit. It’s a great time to improve your diet and exercise regimen since you may be eating on the run and sitting behind a desk for too many hours, Aquarius. The Sun in your solar 6th forms a trine to Jupiter in your solar 10th on the 5th, so while you may have to put all your energy into completing a work project, eat three sound meals and exercise daily. 9th-16th: Career goals. Jupiter stations direct in your solar 10th in your career sector (the 10th) so don’t be surprised if you must work overtime to finally finish the project you have been working on. This is the perfect opportunity to impress those to whom you report, and even prove to yourself how much you…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Exotic dreams. Fulfill your hopes and dreams by booking an exotic and romantic vacation, Pisces. On the 5th, with the Sun in your solar 5th forming a trine to Jupiter in your solar 9th, set your sights on visiting a place far from home. There are wonderful travel bargains on the Internet, so search for a trip that falls within your budget; then get started. 9th-16th: Away from it all. The New Moon falls in your solar 5th on the 12th, so focus on enjoying yourself this week. Go away for the weekend with someone you love, or a group of close friends.

Mercury, the trickster of the planets, loves to play games. He is best known as the planet that governs ideas and the flow of ideas, as well as transportation, and the gadgets we all use to make our lives easier in the modern world. He plays games with all the things just mentioned, giving them an assist when it’s time for one or the other of them to go off track or break, and it’s worth mentioning that he sometimes seems to get his tricky fingers into time itself. The late Salvador Dali created an iconic painting that somehow symbolizes this little-known facet of the planet Mercury. It is titled, “The Persistence of Memory,” and hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, attracting visitors from all…

Two eclipses occur this month. On July 12 there’s a partial solar eclipse in Cancer. The influence of this eclipse, which could be active for as long as 12 months, can manifest as an event or a change. On July 27, a lunar eclipse occurs in Aquarius. This eclipse’s influence will be felt mainly on an emotional level. You end up having mixed feelings about the people, activities, or places associated with Aquarius in your chart. The energy planet, Mars, entered Aquarius on May 16 and remains there until August 12. Retrograde motion will return Mars to Aquarius from September 10 to November 15. While Mars is retrograde, you should avoid initiating aggressive actions, as they are almost sure to fail. To learn more about what the planets’ movements may…

July 2018 All positions are for Midnight EST. The longitudes table indicates each planet’s daily position in the signs. The declinations table shows each planet’s placement north or south of the celestial equator. “R” in a planet’s listing in the longitude table indicates that it begins retrograde motion on that date, or may indicate retrograde status at the beginning of the month. “D” means that the planet has resumed its forward (direct) motion in the signs. Exact times for all of these phenomena are given in the Hourly Guide and in the Planning Calendar on the pages following this one.…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Money brainstorm. Financial practicality will become more important as you consider your vacation plans, Gemini. On the 5th, the Sun in your solar 2nd forms a trine to Jupiter in your solar 6th, so it may be easier than you think to earn extra money. Try new things such as selling on ebay.com, or brainstorming with a partner or close friend to form a side business. 9th-16th: Shopping spree. With the New Moon (solar eclipse) falling in your solar 2nd on the 12th, the successful efforts you made last week to get your finances in order will encourage you to undertake a new approach to saving and spending. You will discover websites and shops where you can get quality goods for cheaper prices. Have fun shopping.…

YOUR JULY-GUIDE 1st-8th: Best friends forever. Hanging out with friends is a bright spot this summer, Virgo. On the 8th, the Sun in your solar 11th forms a trine to Neptune in your relationship sector (solar 7th), so whether you are on vacation, or staying close to home, you will be reminded how gratifying it is to be around people who know you almost as well as you know yourself. 9th-16th: You’re number one. Venus enters your sign on the 9th, so feel free to express your love to those who mean the most to you. In return, one of them may surprise you with a gift you have been eyeing for some time. Rather than always doing things for others, don’t feel guilty about putting yourself first this time.…

YOUR JULY GUIDE 1st-8th: Travel choices. Prepare for lengthy family discussions about an upcoming travel itinerary, Sagittarius. On the 5th, with Mercury in your solar 9th opposite Mars in your solar 3rd, you could find that agreeing on a place to go is not easy. You would rather just take a road trip with varied stops, while others want to go to just one place. Compromise is called for. 9th-16th: Your good works. On the 10th, when Jupiter stations direct in your solar 12th, make time to volunteer for an organization or foundation that has goals you can identify with. Simple tasks are best: working at an animal shelter, tutoring kids, or reading to someone older and unable to see well. If you’ve wanted to clear your schedule to do…
