Sagittarius July 2023

By July you’re ready to break free and travel away from restraints, and just in time, you do.

For in your ninth travel house you have:

The current Leo Moon

Beauty and lovey Venus (retrograde July 22 – September 3)

Sexy Mars

Wise Pallas

Brilliant Mercury after July 11

And what all does your ninth house rule?

Your ninth house, traditionally ruled by adventurous Sagittarius, covers:

Anything far away (Anywhere but here)

Travel

Broader horizons

Foreign countries and cultures

Anything International

Outer Space?

Other languages

Mind expansion

Education

Philosophy

Schools, centers of religion, centers of law

Religion

Faith

Publishing

E-Books and magazines

Gurus

You have stunning possibilities in these areas. You’ll be persuasive and charismatic, at your most charming as July gets underway. You inspire others to do what you want to do and you’ll have a helluva new adventure!

It’s also time to acknowledge your limitless ambition to help. Your symbol is the centaur who shoots an arrow far, far out into the sky – and then gallops – for he is half-horse – as far as it takes to find the arrow.

That is very determined wishing. Honor it. Get serious and re-commit to your unfinished projects. Work on finishing them. You have a few brushes of fame coming this July.

People around you seem awfully distracted lately. You are also in need of a good spirit lift yourself – to do some things that are fun. Yes, simple fun.

You’re such a shining star and ball of energy – and the world loves you! (I wanted to be a Sagittarius for many years.)

And yes, you can count on your friends. If one of your friends has invited you for a trip, and especially far away (from that said house or apartment), I’d take it. Without a moment’s hesitation.

In a period of calm, it is a delightful thing to reassess your life, and how it is going. It may be time to take something off your plate. Something that you thought was a good idea at the time.

You’ve expanded – far, far beyond than what you were working on three years ago. You’ve spread your wings! You’re more accomplished, more known – and you are also looking better than you ever have!

Have you outgrown what you are doing? Or do you simply need a way to expand upon it?

The only fly in the ointment is Venus retrograde, retrograding from July 22 to September 3. Not a time, as a rule of thumb, to begin a serious relationship. Venus is the planet of love and when she goes backwards – retro – love goes backwards. Thus, exes from the past pop up during this time.

If you start a serious relationship during Venus retrograde, there will be difficulties. The passion evaporates after Venus goes direct again, September 3, and you spend the rest of the relationship trying to win it back. If you have an interesting partner in mind, keep him / her in mind – and begin after September 3! Unless you want a two month affair – which would be perfect for a Venus retrograde – best not to start a serious relationship during Venus retrograde.

Beware conflicts with loved ones – breathe before you speak – and now is a brilliant period in which to master your meditation practice. 10 minutes a day is all it takes.

No plastic surgery, including botox, filler, et al, July 22 to September 3, only exceptions being reworking previously unsuccessful plastic surgeries or continuation of the course of previously started operations.

No drastic, irreversible changes to your body, such as getting a tattoo or changing your hair color.

Venus retrograde does help you negotiate. And it is a lucky time to complete unfinished business.

Finally, it’s a good time to tidy up your wardrobe and get rid of everything old and necessary. The same should be done with jewelry and accessories.

Remember: even when you go way, way down, like Alice down the rabbit hole, there is always your governing planet, life-saving Jupiter, to bring you back up.

Jupiter is the most powerful planet in our solar system. Do you know that this planet literally saves us on Earth every day? Jupiter’s gravitational force field is so powerful that it pulls asteroids hurtling towards us on Earth off their path – and back into outer space. Scientists say Jupiter has saved us from being destroyed many a time.

Jupiter brings luck and abundance and wealth into your life. Jupiter brings new and exciting opportunities for you every step of the way.

You will take advantage of these – soon, soon. For now just be careful not to fall over the rabbit’s tail – particularly this week when you may find yourself more impulsive than usual (you may shoot off your mouth and regret it) – on your way back from the rabbit hole.

We need you here back on Earth, dear Sagittarius, and we need you in one piece. You are invaluable!

Career-wise you’re on fire and have accomplished a tremendous amount – truly awesome. Nothing to correct or change there. Put love on the back burner during these last few months of solitude fortune.

Please close your eyes and just think. Picture yourself and your gift. See how your gift is shining with light all around it? Do this now please. Close your eyes and SEE.

You must take the first step. Allow your worth. That’s all. Nothing more nothing less.

Then, and only then, will your detractors be able to see clearly as well. The doubts, the nos, the refusals to kick the bucket.

And aren’t you amazing?

Can we see that now, please? Your feeling that you are amazing in the world?

If your ego begins to seize up, just remember you are only an agent, a channel, a messenger for your gift. Hold it together!

In terms of your friendships, you can pick and choose and decide which ones are for the road and which ones are for the future.

Because, of course, you are going to go on traveling, on your own personal quest, and you need the support of evolved and evolving souls.

And that’s how you know your true friends – they believe that.

Now, there’s still your professional reputation and brushes with professional associates to clear up, and that can only be done by staying spotless. Absolutely professional. No hanky panky in the vestibule. No losing your temper with loved ones. No flirting with those already taken.

There’s no getting around Saturn, however much we try. He, like karma, like fate, will have his way. He only gives you a break, he only rewards you when you do the work you need to do in this area. You feel them most keenly in terms of home and early family over the next two years.

Remember that “excruciating love” I warned you about in the past?

You have to wrap it up, while taking a gamble on your heart, dear Sag.

This will mean making a decision about what or whom you really love. It could be a person, a home, or that new country you feel you must have.

Think carefully. Do not make any quick decisions.

You will feel pulled back and forth, but know that essentially you are galloping forward.

Leaving the past – truly – behind. It is time.

Your generous heart forgives all your youthful wrongs. It is only fair. You fall in love with yourself all over again.

Meditation is advised.

And let’s see how that takes us into next month! See you then.

Happy Summer, Awesome Sagittarius! I can’t wait to read you!
