Monthly Horoscope July 2016
July 2016 is, without a doubt, a lot more relaxed than previous months.

Mars has resumed its direct motion at the end of the previous month, so energy is consumed in a more efficient manner, actions are more coherent, and initiatives are better inspired. Many of us now begin to learn from (often stressful) experiences of previous months. And many of those who have wandered or even made backward steps find their path again, the one that leads toward reaching objectives.

Mercury is close to Venus for almost all of the month. This combination of planets is excellent for socializing, communicating, and getting informed, and promises pleasant and fruitful travels too.

But don't expect some global flawless harmony. The T-square formed by Jupiter (situated in Virgo), Saturn (in Sagittarius), and Neptune (in Pisces) is still active in the background. It can still bring out stuff that's buried deep down (fraud, deceit, lies, and so on) and could worsen things regarding large-scale migration and religious dissent. The Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune T-square involves the mutable signs, so it tends to generate instability and change.

Then, the transit of rapid planets through Cancer leads to another T-square, formed with Uranus from Aries and Pluto from Capricorn, active during the first three weeks of July 2016, and very active for the first two. This time it's a T-square that involves cardinal signs, so it could lead to rapid action, crisis, confusion, and even violence.

But during the whole term one mustn't forget that anything can be negotiated: we have the Mercury-Venus conjunction on hand, and it would be a shame not to benefit from its benefic energy.

July 2016 also has other significant trump-cards:

- intuition, imagination, creativity, passion, and power of expression – gifted by the pyramid of Water signs (formed by the rapid planets from Cancer with Mars from Scorpio and Neptune from Pisces) during the first three weeks of July;

- energy, ardor, courage, and renewing initiative – gifted by the pyramid of Fire signs (formed by the rapid planets transiting Leo, with Uranus from Aries and Saturn from Sagittarius) during the second part of July 2016, particularly so during the last decan.
