weekly horoscopes for 7/6-7/12

this week is a huge week because we have the first of three eclipses occurring on tuesday morning (2:21am PST). this one is a lunar eclipse- which is a potent full moon- and the next two are a solar and lunar eclipse happening on 7-22 and 8-8. eclipses always activate tremendous change, endings and new beginnings, and powerful transformations. a lunar eclipse brings culminations and endings and solar eclipses bring initiations and new beginnings. this lunar eclipse is the first on the cancer/capricorn axis. eclipses happen in 2 year cycles. so for two years two signs (polar opposite pairs) will be highlighted by the eclipses which affect those born in those signs quite powerfully, as well as anyone who has planets or angles in the signs as well. read for your lunar eclipse horoscope for this week below. check both your sun as well as your rising sign.

aries- the way you've been presenting yourself in life, your career path and your standing in the world are about to undergo major changes. the old ways of being no longer suit you and in order to embrace the new that awaits you in the future you have to let go of the past. recent developments in your home, family and security needs shine the light on what it is you need to release and what you need to embrace. saturn in your 6th is anchoring these new energies for you in terms of your work and service you provide to the world. your path necessitates that what you do helps humanity on some level. if you haven't been doing this yet you need to alter your path completely. if you have- be prepared to take it to the next level. any endings you resist hold you back from the new beginnings you want and need. surrender to your higher Self and let the process unfold.

taurus- it is time to fully align your higher Self and higher mind with your lower self and conscious mind. you've been sensing this shift for some time, but the eclipse on tuesday instigates much needed change and endings so that aligning with your Self is no longer ideal, but necessary. old spiritual and philosophical beliefs need to be let go of so that the new truths that are lining up to enter your consciousness have space to move into. your conscious mind can be a gift or a curse depending on if it is the servant or the master. conservative thinking limits you, so throw anything out that keeps your perspective limited. saturn in your 5th house helps you anchor this new energy shift by bringing in solid romantic and creative energies that help show you new realities that open you up to more of who you really are. being an earth sign, you are very grounded. but at times you need to let go of that grounding and fixedness in order to open up. that time is now.
