There are two eclipses this month. Eclipses always mark major turning points in our lives, the effects of which last about nineteen years. The area (the two houses in our natal charts) they fall in indicates which parts of our personal lives are being highlighted and where the changes are taking place. Events and words tend to be final on an eclipse date. We should be careful to avoid situations we might end up regretting.

There is a solar eclipse on Thursday, July 12 at 20°41' Cancer. This degree is represented in the Sabian symbols by "a famous singer is proving her virtuosity during an operatic performance." This eclipse highlights the need to develop our mastery by deeply tapping into our inner resources and talents. Our seriousness of purpose helps free us from past conditioning and becomes a law unto itself.

There is a lunar eclipse on Friday, July 27 at 4°45' Aquarius. It is represented in the Sabian symbols by "a council of ancestors is seen implementing the efforts of a young leader." We are never alone, and nothing we achieve is ever done on our own. Our ambitions — backed with discipline, integrity, and hard work — find support from higher, invisible dimensions.
