ROBIN ARMSTRONG'S ZODIAC PREDICTIONS FOR JULY 2011


ARIES: MAR. 21 to APR. 20:
Quick wits will save the day but poor choices could ruin it. If you just keep active and say what need to be said your life will progress easily. If you get comfortable or lazy you stand to take losses. This will be a much better month to put out energy than to try and collect it. Don’t sweat the little problems. If you complain you will make matters worse.
The New Moon Eclipse of July 1st  will be a stressful one for Aries. Your timing will be off. Don’t trust your instincts! The Full Moon of Jul 15th  will also be a stressful one. Interference will come from close quarters. The New Moon of Jul 30, the second one this month will be a positive one. Even in the midst of adversity you will find some who will applaud and approve.
Special Focus:
If you were born between Mar. 24th and 26th these will be highly excitable days. You will be restless and ready to take radical initiatives. You are not likely to be sleeping well!  If there is something you have to do, just do it. Any hesitation will increase anxiety.

CANCER: JUNE 21 to JULY 23:
Everything has its price. This month most Cancers will know without any doubt, what they really want, but there are shadows prevailing that are likely to interfere with their desires. On a personal note it would be wiser to remain content with simple things and give yourself more time for the big dreams to actualize.
The New Moon Eclipse of July 1st will be the most sensitive lunation of the year for Cancers. This is good for meditation, but worries about worldly matters could easily escalate.

LEO: JULY 23 to AUG. 23:
Most adversities will have fallen away for Leos and you will have your wits about you this month. Communications will be highlighted and will work in your favour. Once you have the spotlight, however, you will be inclined to talk too much and for too long.

Necessity will prevail over fantasy!

SCORPIO: OCT. 23 to NOV. 22:
This is one of those months when a smile will open doorways and hearts, but your words will close them. It should be a month of smooth sailing and growing popularity.

The tide is turning in your favour. You are still prone to be a little klutzy.

Special Focus:
Those Sagittarians born between Nov. 22 and 23 will continue to be in confusion. You are vulnerable to unreal expectations. It is as if you are running into a test of faith that requires you to be calm and still rather than outward going. Simplicity and self reliance will be the goal. Complications and dependency will be the enemies.

CAPRICORN: DEC. 22 to JAN. 20:
The best laid plans of mice and men will easily go awry. You can expect adversity! The challenge is to work through the obstacles one at a time. You cannot rely on others this month.

The New Moon of Jul 30, the second one this month will be easier and less stressful than the first one. The idiots will have backed off a few steps!

Special Focus:
If your birthday falls between Dec. 25 and Jan. 1 then this will be a month of sudden change and significant pressure. Don’t ask for sympathy.

Don’t even try to explain yourself. The ideas that you put out will likely come back to embarrass you. Plane for expansion or significant increase of fortunes should be put on hold!

PISCES: FEB. 19 to MAR. 20:
Acts of kindness will bring significant appreciation your way. Acts of impatience will increase your adversity. This month you would do better to count your blessings and be content with your circumstances, rather than complain about your misgivings of others and any inconvenience they cause you. The minute anger arises, you will lose!
The New Moon Eclipse of July 1st will be a positive one emotionally, however you will likely be intolerant of any distractions.  The Full Moon of Jul 15th will also be positive in itself.

This is a time when there are worries about security but nothing is stable. One’s worries tend to eclipse one’s compassion. There are always people who are worse off than yourself. Indulging in personal worries brings selfishness to the fore. Being over considerate about one’s problems, makes one under considerate about the problems of others. Who worries about their neighbors ability to pay the rent or have enough food?
The internet and media in general tend to keep us in a pocket of self indulgence and self interest. Who can really look out of the pocket? If you have problems to worry about, so must many others.

We are at the end of innocence on the world wide web. The internet is being used to destabilize countries and governments. It is also being used as a type of vigilante justice whereby punishments or harassments are being perpetrated before and legal judgment is made. Governments are using it to influence people and stay in power.
From here on we can expect more censorship and higher costs for access and security options.
There will be a cost to pay for what appears to be internet freedom.

On a spiritual level, one will soon have to do a month long media fast before one is ready to even approach silencing the mind and listening to the heart. Outwardly Preponderance of the Great implies watching the ridgepole of the roof or structure as it sags to the breaking point. Inwardly, Preponderance of the Great implies considering what must fall away so that the great inner light can shine brightly. There are two different directions for understanding this hexagram, and maybe more. Where are you focusing. Upon what are you concentrating?


This is a Cancer New Moon and it is also an eclipse. Sensitivities are heightened. Much depends on the direction and quality of your concerns.
Once before this message of Cherokee wisdom was included in this newsletter. It seem appropriate to include it again.

CHEROKEE WISDOM
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy, "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves...
One is evil -- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is good -- he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.""
And then he said: "This same fight is going on inside you --and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed!"

In the horoscope for this Cancer New Moon eclipse, there is a marked tendency to worry about things that are beyond your control. If this pulls you into negativity and darkness, then you need to take a step back and let go of your concerns. Perhaps your concerns and your thinking are being embraced more than God? Perhaps your worries show a lack of faith? No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. A lot of people have difficult karma coming back at them. This is a fact. Whose plan do you think, brought this about, or is bringing this about?
The point I am trying to make is that there is still value in realizing that higher hands might have a role in all of this. Perhaps God knows what He or She is doing! How much faith do you have?

Chanting or praying, at any time is a good means for staying centred in inner light and love. On an eclipse there is a tendency to increase the darkness, but if one can increase one’s inner light during such a time, one would certainly gain extra impetus and inner presence.
May you carry the light within while the darkness is manifesting without.

Hari Om.
