Look Out for Number One

You are ripe for making changes that can have a very positive impact on your personal life this month. It starts with the New Moon in your sign on July 2. The annual union of the Sun and Moon in Cancer always carries a little extra juice for you, but this year's version is particularly delicious. That's because Venus, the planet of love, is joined with the New Moon, infusing you with a greater sense of self-worth. Ok, so if what you see in the mirror (or what you imagine in your mind) is not all you desire, do not despair. With beautifying Venus on your side this is an excellent time to enhance your appearance and uplift your attitude. It's pretty simple, really. If you're happy, others will find you more attractive. Pleasing yourself, then, is job number one. Taking care of that in whatever healthy ways you can will raise the quality of your present relationship and increase your potential for a worthwhile new one.

The Full Moon on July 18 falls in your 7th house of partnership, increasing your chances of gaining clarity about what you can expect from others. You may, though, need to be a disciplined negotiator when dealing with a strong-willed individual. Don't accept any bullying, Cancer, since giving an inch can quickly lead to giving a mile. A tough conjunction of hard guy planets Mars and Saturn at this time shows how important it is to be firm about what you want and what you're willing to give in return to get it.
