As you enter July, you should be feeling fantastic. The month will begin with a full moon in Capricorn that had reached its fullest point on June 30, hours before July dawned. You only get one full moon a year in Capricorn, and this one is an exceptionally generous and kind one. As you begin the month, this full moon will still be exerting plenty of energy, spanning July 1 to 4.

During that phase, one vital element of your life will reach culmination, if that hasn't happened already at the end of June. The aspects surrounding this full moon burst with good news, so you have every reason to be excited about how things will play for you not only now, but also in coming weeks and months.

You are generally thought to be a steady, practical soul, not given to high intensity emotional swings, but this full moon may bring out an endearing, very passionate side to you now, one you rarely show others. Thanks to a beautiful, shimmering beam that this full moon will receive from Mars, positioned in your solar fifth house ruling true love, you may find it hard to contain your feelings. Dear Capricorn, why should you? If you do feel thrilled by what's happening, then shout your feelings from the rooftops!

If you find it's not love for a new or established partner that has your heart beating double time, it may be news about a pregnancy, a child you have now, or a creative project that provides that sudden "zing" that feels so good.

If your health is causing you concern as you enter the month, know that you will feel better each day, and by July 5 you may even be back to normal. Full moons bring conditions to a head, and then after you attend to them, immediately simmer down. Go for medical advice, of course, but know that if you have pain, it won't keep up for long.

If you are born on December 30 or within five days of this date, this full moon of June 30 that you and I have been discussing will be all the more powerful for you.

No matter when your birthday happens to fall, all Capricorns are about to enter the best of year of their lives in 2008. Your wonder year is actually slated to start in late December 2007. Your mission now should be to decide which people and elements of your current life will belong in your new life to come, as well as which elements and relationships need to be eliminated. If you don't go through this process of editing your life, you won't make any room for new opportunities that are coming your way.

July will be a vital month for forming an important new relationship or for solidifying your relationship with someone you hold dear. The house of your chart that will be so dazzlingly accented after the appearance of the new moon July 14 will be your seventh house of serious commitments.

Most people think of this house as the house of engagement and marriage and indeed, it is. This would be an ideal month for taking a big step of that kind, but only from July 14 onward. Discussions about making a commitment are almost sure to come up. However, this house covers ALL serious relationships, including those set up for business purposes. It is equally as likely that you would draw up a contract with a business associate, and if you do, you will be acting at the very best time to do so.

Mercury has been retrograde in your partnership sector last month, but will turn direct on July 9. On the day Mercury turns direct, Mercury always acts quite erratically, so allow some space between July 9 and the day you plan to sign your agreement. I'd like you to sign just after the new moon appears in Cancer, any time from July 14 to July 21.

If you were born on January 12 or within five days of this date, discussions about forming a partnership or commitment or regarding the subject of marriage will be very strong.

The actions of this month's planets are interesting because it will help you banish any miscommunications or glitches that may have come up in June. Luckily, as a Capricorn you were born with a fantastic sense of humor, which no doubt came in handy last month when things went haywire. To stay sane, the only thing you could do was to laugh! You are the zodiac's comic - perfectly suited for that!

All month Mars will stir up love and passion, so if you don't have anyone special, stay optimistic! Mars will dispatch Cupid to help you now, so look your best. Indeed, July should be one of your most successful months of the year for meeting someone new. You have two extra special days that I want you to watch for a fateful first meeting: July 11 and 20.

If you are already attached, those two days, July 11 and 20, will be equally special. Plan something! Days like this are rare and quite electric.

Travel and romance seem inextricably linked, so if you have a summer share rental cottage or plan to go away on vacation, you may have an outstanding time. You could even return with experiences that later prove life-changing.

Most romantic evenings this month include: July 1 - 3, 9 - 11, 14 - 15, 17 - 18, 20, and 27- 28.

Venus will retrograde from July 27 to September 8, and since Venus rules your solar tenth house of career, you need to know that you will probably see your professional progress temporarily stall. If you had hoped to change jobs, that may not occur until the new moon appears in your professional sector, October 11, 2007.

The glitch is that Mercury will be retrograde in October too, from October 12 to 31. It may be that a job you were ready to accept this month will have to be postponed because the company will decide that they can't do any hiring just yet. In that case, taking the job later would be fine, for you would be going back to earlier discussions. Still, you have such dazzling planetary aspects in late December and January that you may just be wiser to wait. For career, March, late August, and September 2008 could also bring news. I think you will get better offers then than you will now.

The month will end on a financial note. Settle financial accounts: July 28 - 30, which will be the time of the full moon. Fortunately you are able to find the amount to cover your needs, even if you have to borrow it. If you are born at the start of the sign, near December 22 or 23, Pluto will have orbited close enough to bring an influential person to help you. Capricorn is said to have the secret for spinning straw into gold. This may be the time you prove that to be true!

Summary

The large full moon that you see in the sky, just barely starting to wane as July begins, will be in the constellation of Capricorn. This indicates something big is about to develop in your romantic life during the first four days of July, if something had not already happened at the end of June. This full moon is a kind one, so no need to be apprehensive - although this moon will bring plenty of surprises, chances are, you'll love what develops. If you are single and not dating, it's very possible you will meet someone new and very intriguing.

Mars will keep brightening your love life in a powerful way from now until August 7. Since this special favor from the Red Planet only comes once every two years in your house of true love, use it for all it's worth. Although you tend to be a reserved soul, be determined to put yourself "out there" more in July than you might ordinarily be prone to do. Love could literally be right around the next corner. If you do meet someone, there's likely to be lots of "glue" to keep you together - possibly forever!

If you are attached, you will likely see a development in the week that follows July 14 when the new moon is due to appear in your house of relationships. If you and your sweetheart want to be exclusive to each other, this would be the time to commit your love.

Love and travel will be linked on July 20, but you need not go far. A trip that's easily within a day's transport is indicated. Mars will tickle Uranus' funny bone, so unexpected fun is sure to result. Not only will love burn brightly, but the whole getaway experience should be special for you.

Your creativity will reach new heights - take time to devote to your favorite craft. If you feel you need lessons to learn to play an instrument, sew, knit, crochet, paint, do calligraphy, or to develop any other natural talent, sign up now. If you work in a creative profession, you'll have the best aspects possible for taking a few risks on your projects, for Mars will remain in Taurus all month, the very best place to be to help you bring forth amazing results that your clients will love.

If you are hoping to get a new job, you may have to revise your schedule. Venus, the planet that rules your solar tenth house of career honors, will retrograde from July 27 to September 8. Mid-October 2007 could bring an offer, but admittedly, there could be problems, because Mercury will again be retrograde at that time.

Instead, I would suggest that you set your sights on 2008, your very luckiest, happiest year in over a decade. All the right opportunities will come to you once Jupiter enters Capricorn on December 17, 2007 to stay a year. The end of December as well as birthday time in January should be a simply fabulous time for you. It would be a shame to take a position now if a far better one is due in early 2008. If nothing shows up in late December or January, you seem almost assured to see new opportunities arise in March and also in late August and September 2008. You will be in demand, so you might want to just sit tight for now.

Money will be your main focus within three days of the full moon July 29, but the news should be positive. You might get a one-time gig that helps you net a generous amount of cash.
