Love Forecasts for July 2008

Around July 3-4, Venus at 18° Cancer opposes Jupiter at 18° Capricorn denoting some separation from a beloved one. Love is at a distant, possibly due to travel, work or vacation.

Mercury at 22° Gemini squares Uranus at 22° Pisces around July 5, bringing some unexpected news urging you to send a message, call, card or letter.

The Sun at 17° Cancer opposes Jupiter at 17° Capricorn around July 9-10 at the same time Mars conjuncts Saturn at 5° Virgo. Also, Mercury enters Cancer around the same time.

That's quite a lot of planetary activity at once around these eventful days. There's hard work at hand and much needs to be accomplished.

The Mars-Saturn combo is not the most funny one around though. There may be some oppression, resistance and hurdles to be taken. Things don't go smoothly.

This conjunction will affect you most if you are born around June 27, July 29, August 29, September 29, October 29, November 28, December 27, January 26 , February 24, March 26, April 26 or May 27.

Don't expect too much words with Mercury in emotional and watery Cancer. However, reveal and communicate your emotions by any means. You may be pondering in silence too and may often vacillate in your thinking, following your deepest feelings.

Don't worry if you cannot express yourself to the full right now. Wait till Mercury enters extravert Leo within some days.

Around July 12, Venus, planet of love and relationships, enters playful Leo. Funny times full of enjoyment await you. Give warmth and be creative. Express your love in many ways and express yourself. You may be in the center of attention and feel desired.

However, don't be too vain and self-centered.

Mercury at 16° Cancer opposes Jupiter at 16° Capricorn around July 19. This aspect too refers to travel or trips and the separation that accompanies it. Be prepared for some minor mishaps though. But all's well that ends well!

When the Sun enters playful Leo too around July 22, a male person may bring in more fun (and love?!). The Sun is in its own sign, thus in its own element and can express itself brilliantly

Your heart can shine to the fullest. Make fun.

Mercury will follow the Sun and enter Leo around July 26, making for more openly love expressions. Openly thinking about children might be another option.

Around July 28, Venus at 19° Leo opposes the Moon's North Node and Chiron. This would be a very good time to meet someone you've long forgotten or not seen for a long time.

Past relationships may enter the scene again.

The Sun conjuncts Mercury around July 29 at 7° Leo. Talk about love, send your lover some nice greetings and exchange thoughts.

Love's sorrow or love's separation is indicated around July 31 when Venus at 23° Leo opposes Neptune at 23° Aquarius. You so dearly long for an absent beloved one. There is unrequited love.

Also, for some, there may be disappointment in your love life resulting in a break up.

Capricorn around July 19. This aspect too refers to travel or trips and the separation that accompanies it. Be prepared for some minor mishaps though. But all

What Does Your Relationship Look Like?

You can delineate the Moon's position and the Sun's position separately but you will get the most out of it when blending the positions of these points (called "the lights"). They both belong to each other inseparately and should te treated as such.

The Sun-Moon combo influences your life substantially on every level and in many fields and ways. They also imprint your love life and that's what we are discussing here right now.

It's observed that the Moon phase (lunar phase) you were born under summarizes the core of your life. Psychological and humanistic astrologers have for long been delineating the Moon phases in this way (think of what the astrologers Dane Rudhyar and Michael Meyer have learned us).

While the delineations of these psychological and humanistic astrologers are highly appreciated, insightful and innovative, they often lack some practical and event-oriented background. From our own experience, we know that the Moon phase in your natal chart has a more practical meaning too and gives information about the way your love life looks like or what kind of a love relationship you do need this life time.

Below, we delineate the different Moon phases (and go beyond the 4 or 8 common phases) related to your love life. Do know that the closer the aspect between the Sun and the Moon, the more it will bring the significations to the foreground.

Sun conjunct Moon
You're never alone and there will always be someone with or standing behind you as a friend or a lover. In a male horoscope, you will almost always notice a female fan or follower. It may happen that you live with someone physically but act separately and do your own things. Your relationships often start instinctively and impulsively.

Sun 30° Moon
Your relationship can be summarized as a teacher-pupil relationship in which one of both shares experiences with the other. One of the partners instructs the other who learns from it.

Sun 60° Moon
This is a very communicative relationship with lots of talks and/or messages, calls etc. You both need a very sociable environment with lots of friends and associates. You need a partner to co-operate and communicate with others (in groups, in family etc.).

Sun 90° Moon
The square is an aspect of action and work. You need a relationship to DO things. Most often the partners are absorbed in (their own) work and career interests. You do need excitement to get the relationship working. Boredom means the end of the relationship.

Sun 120° Moon
This phase brings mutual understanding and some complacency. You need a partner to spend some time together, relaxing or just having fun. You understand each other instinctively.

Sun 150° Moon
This Moon phase has very Virgonean traits in which one of the partners is submissive (the servant) and the other is the boss/master. One of the partners will always have to invest more in the relationship to get it going than the other. This is not a relationship about equals which you can't stand.

Sun 180° Moon
This Moon phase is related to irresistible attraction and passion. It's a very magnetic phase, drawing the partners together. The partners are "out in the open" and this relationship is a public one. Each partner works on his or her own though and you seek in the other what you cannot achieve alone. It's a very physical phase that may bring fulfillment of desires.

Sun 210° Moon
This Moon phase needs intensity and passion. You need a partner who is completely different and who impresses you profoundly. Often, one of the partners is or becomes widowed. This can be a temperamental relationship.

Sun 240° Moon
Your relationship is another kind of the teacher-pupil relationship in which one of the partners teaches and the other learns. However, in this mental phase there is more illumination and more inspiration with new (enlightening and impressive) ideas. You need a partner with insight.

Sun 270° Moon
This square too is focused on action. It's a more forceful relationship though in which one of the partners is the boss/master and the other is the servant. You need a very organized relationship to get on well, with plenty of appointments and structural and even formal agreements.

Sun 300° Moon
This relationship is known for the love for children. Most often, it will not be one's own children, but children of the other (your partner, step-children, adopted children etc...). Indeed, you need children in your relationship to feel well and fulfilled. Also, there is a lot of socializing too.

Sun 330° Moon
In this moon phase you will often need to sacrifice some of your desires or wishes that will not come true -- for the sake of your partner and/or relationship. This relationship is focused on admiration and one of the partners looks upon the other in a guru-like way.

Your Marriage Year (Part III - Male Horoscopes)

• Venus conjunct the ruler of the 9th house (Chi square 16.0)
• the ruler of the 10th house in the 7th house (Chi square 10.0)
• the Moon in the 7th house (Chi square 10.0)
• Ascendant in Capricorn (Chi square 10.0)
• the ruler of the 7th house in the 1st Quadrant (Chi square 8.0)
• the ruler of the 8th house in the 4th house (Chi square 8.0)
• the ruler of the 4th house conjunct the ruler of the 9th house (Chi square 8.0)
• the Moon in Sagittarius (Chi square 6.0)

In any case we notice some relationship with or involvement of a house from the 3rd Quadrant (houses 7, 8 or 9), confirming the theory of the "Schule Fuer Transpersonale Astrologie" (TPA -- School for Transpersonal Astrology) outlined in our previous Love Letter that states that marriages are related to the whole 3rd Quadrant and not just to the 7th house.

Remarkable is the strong evidence for the sign Capricorn and the 10th house (related to and mundane ruled by Capricorn), denoting that in male charts the change of status through a marriage may be important.

Perhaps, men need a marriage to formaly feel part of the society and to raise their esteem.

The 9th house seems to be involved in case of publicity and (fortunate?) public events. It remains yet unclear why the 4th house comes up so many times (in more instances than listed above but these instances were not (yet) significant enough to make public).
