This month will will be an important one for you as you have either recently, in the end of June, or during this one will go through your solar opposition period. This is more commonly thought of as your half-birthday as opposed to the many un-birthdays you have that you learned about if/when you read Alice in Wonderland as a child. This won't necessarily be earthshattering, though it can be. As a rule it causes you to see yourself through others' eyes in some way. This, of course, can be a good thing or a bad thing, either one of which can be useful if you pay attention and then incorporate the lesson into your conscious behavior. It can be a subtle occurrence that appears so normal and mundane that it doesn't even receive any notice unless you're looking for it. So take a good look at some of the events right around your half-birthday and decide for yourself if there are any lessons there you'd do well to assimilate. The Universe loves to instruct us as we proceed along our eternal path, but it doesn't always do so in a forceful manner since we're allowed and expected to use our free will.

Note that the New Moon occurs in your 7th House of relationships on July 2. The Sun will be in your 7th House until the 22nd, bringing more emphasis to this part of your life, regardless of when your birthday falls. This could indicate someone new and significant is about to come into your life or a major change is coming in an existing one. With Venus in that same House, but just barely in orb as a conjunction, this should be a positive situation. If your birthday falls within a few days one way or the other of January 2 this will be even more significant as the New Moon will be directly opposite your Natal Sun, making it much more personal. A few days either side of January 8 would also be significant, but with a slightly different flavor since in this case Jupiter will be nearly sitting on your Natal Sun, so to speak, and opposite Venus. Jupiter will tend to inflate you ego with another possibility that of bringing you some noticeable good luck. Opposite Venus, especially in your 7th House of relationships, this has all the makings for a new romantic relationship or a major event relative to an existing one.

With the New Moon in fairly close proximity, this has more punch than it would ordinarily, so if you're looking for something or someone to enter your life, don't cloister yourself at home during this time. Remember that you can use this energy as you see fit. The Universe and our lives are based on free will, even though we all tend to be quite predictable, bringing us to If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got. Since the 7th House includes all one-on-one relationships, not only romantic ones, this could also apply to a close friend or relative or business associate, though Venus seems to imply an emphasis on romance. Nonetheless, a large measure of affection can easily be involved in these other relationships as well, so keep an open mind and see what comes along, which will be what's most relevant for your individual life at this time.

For the first ten days of July, there will be a variety of other interesting aspects out there. Surprising news or an unconventional idea of some type is going to surface, either on the job, or it could also simply tie into all that New Moon stuff noted above. Expect to have a lot of drive and ambition toward achieving your dreams or pursuing something else of a spiritual or inspirational nature during that time as well. Ambition comes quite naturally to Cappies, so this should feel quite good. Expect going back to school, long distance travel, your core beliefs, or something that relates to legal matters, such as a contract of some description, to be involved in some way. As the month progresses, meaning from July 21 - 31, this will show a real burst of activity.

During the entire month, Uranus and Neptune will be in a somewhat itchy aspect known as a semi-sextile. Ordinarily, for the sake of horoscopes for the masses these wouldn't get much attention except these two outer planets move slowly, making it last for quite a while, plus they're in what is known as mutual reception. That means that each one is in the Sign the other rules, which brings a lot more energy into play than usual. Uranus is the planet of the unexpected and change while Neptune influences our dreams and sense of reality. For Cappies, the placement for this action is in your 2nd and 3rd Houses, which relate to your possessions, pleasures, and finances for the former, and thoughts, ideas, neighbors and short journeys for the latter. Throw this all together, and you could be looking at some interesting inspiration for a few changes in these areas of your life. You need to do the mix and match routine since there are too many possibilities to address here.

From July 9 - 19, innovative ideas will come easily and so will changing your way of thinking about something. This is usually healthy and indicates personal progression, which is what life is all about. These will probably also pertain to the relationships in your life in some way or another, since your 7th House is like Grand Central Station this month. The Full Moon on the 18th occurs in your 1st House of personality. This lunar phase heralds a culmination of some description and ties in well with changing your thinking in some way. Those born a few days one way or another of January 17 will be most affected. If it's time for a change, now is the time to take the plunge and do it.

Needless to say there is a lot of action going on this month in very significant areas of your life. It may not seem as if the events are that big of deal at the time, but over the next several months they'll develop into a new phase of your life. There is no better time to make conscious decisions and choices rather than just chugging along. As a Cardinal Sign, you know how to take the lead and make decisions. This month be sure to do so in your own behalf as there's a lot out there just waiting for you to make a move in the right direction.
