This month planetary movements to keep an eye on:

- Full moon: 11th July

- New moon: 24th July in Leo

- Retrograde planet: Neptune begins its backward flow from July 4th, Saturn joins it on July 13th, and then Mercury becomes retrograde on July 17th.

AQUARIUS (20th January - 18th February)

Get ready to break free from conventional moulds and expectations. July calls to your inner wild-child to express themselves and to question authority and the imposed limitations from partners or society in general. A new career, job, partner, or living situation could all be calling... and this time you seriously need to give it a chance. This month brings change on a massive scale, as well as taking wild brave gambles with your true self and achieving happiness. Old dreams, long forgotten, could find themselves being dusted off and updated to suit your new future. Be brave; Be bold; Take charge of your life! Now is the time. Past failures bring you to detour signs this time rather than stop signs.

PISCES (19th February - 20th March)

The month is certainly going to test your commitment, integrity, loyalty, and boundaries... but you are more than up to the task to know when to say 'no'. Life may feel a little tough around the edges and people may push their opinions upon you during July, but I urge you to stick to your beliefs and trust in your guides. This may not be an easy month ahead, but it is filled with honesty and you need that in your life. Socially, you are more of a recluse this month than the life of the party. Financially you are solid and are making good choices, just aim to keep it up. Remember to stand your ground when you know you are right and let the cards fall as they may!

ARIES (21st March - 20th April)

This month sees you bounding forward with determination in a big loud BANG. There is nothing peaceful and calm about this month for you, but rather the whole month is filled with a vibrant intensity of purpose. Now is the time to get things done and smash down any opposition, while you silence that small voice inside that says not to take a chance at change. Finances may take a little hit while you draw out your wings and claim your space, but what's a nest egg for if not to use when needed? Even health niggles do not seem to deter you from your path, but do be careful not to push your body too far; ignoring things wont get them fixed....only postponed.

Crystal for the month: Garnet

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Raven

TAURUS (21st April - 20th May)

Venus is certainly tugging at those heart strings of yours during this month. The first two weeks is all about slowing down and pampering yourself with little luxuries and quiet reflections. Hermit-like stirrings could call you to take advantage of the comfort and peace of that warm doona calling your name. It is time to heal your inner child with home cooked meals and early nights. Come mid-month and the outside world will start to call you back, so make the most of it while you can! This is a great month for strengthening personal boundaries that may have been breached. Married couples could start talking babies or pushing for grandkids. Singles may just find that being picky and putting yourself first was a great decision. Irritating health issues can be delt with using common sense.

Crystal for the month: Angelite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Platypus

GEMINI (21st May - 20th June)

The outside world could be showing you massive sudden changes, the question is are you just watching or joining in? Expect things big, bold, loud, and proud! Now is the time to break free of emotional chains holding you back and establish new boundaries and expectations for your future. In many ways, you will be getting glimpses into possible futures as your psychic intuition builds to a crescendo on July 21st. You are best to ask yourself: what do you really want out of life? Health wise, extra energy and motivation can be uncovered during this month, and should be exploited to the fullest. Financials are actually not as bad as it may seem, but then more is always better for you, isn't it...

Crystal for the month: Labradite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Stallion

CANCER (21st June - 20th July)

This is a month with very solid connection with Spirit. Expect the unexpected, challenge stereotypes and push down emotional negative debris that you have been carrying causing you to doubt. A new holistic direction or healing modality may be calling you or you may be dragged into unknown territory by Spirit. Have courage for all that awaits you during July and hold your head high! The answers may not seem simple and may require more faith than logic to be successful. Repetitive numbers and electronic mayhem may be just Spirits way of getting your attention. Be sure to walk through this month with your eyes open and your heart exposed.

Crystal for the month: Clear Quartz

Your animal spirit guide for the month: White Birds of any type - (Dove, cockatoo, seagull etc).

LEO ( 21st July - 21st August)

Leo, its time to stop with the promises to yourself that you haven't kept. July is calling you to action. It's time to stand up, be noticed and take charge of your life. You may find yourself quite sensitive to sounds as the month progresses so be sure to choose your battles and battlegrounds wisely. Loud people may need to be avoided rather than listened to. People in your inner circle may be surprised at some of your choices, but remember it's all about YOUR personal choices not theirs. Financially there are a few hiccups ahead, so best to play it safe and only obtain those larger purchases if you have the money sitting their first. Incidences with animals could result in stiches or x-rays, so take care please.

Crystal for the month : Fire Agate

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Glow Worm

VIRGO (22nd August - 22nd September)

Dreams can become realities, but you need to put plans into action during July. Your worst issue this month is procrastination and over thinking, which could lead to missed opportunities. Around the 17th till the 22nd, expect a slower period to descend, make sure you back up any electronic devices before this time and be wary of miscommunications between contractors or co-workers. Health issues appear to be connected to your noggin, so dizzy spells, ear aches and the like should be expected. A thick slice of lemon sprinkled with salt by your bed (on a saucer) should hopefully keep the plague and flu at bay. This month may feel uncomfortable at times but all ends well by the 28th.

Crystal for the month: Moss Agate

LIBRA (23rd September - 22nd October)

Well, the planets are certainly going to be playing your emotions like a fiddle this month! One minute you can take on the world, the next you could be a blubbering mess. You need to stay very focused during July to make sure that you stay on target and don't get distracted by the emotional whirlwind or personal disappointment in experiences with those you interact and care about. By the 15th, putting down roots is going to be very important, so if your not happy where you are let your feet take you to where you need to be. At the very least, organize a getaway for your exhausted soul for the end of the month as you may very well need that or the funny farm may come a calling.

Crystal for the month: Moonstone and/or Ocean Jasper as required.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Emu

SCORPIO (23rd October - 22nd November)

Uranus is making itself felt during July so be prepared for a decluttering of your life both emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You will be tested on your beliefs this month and definitely pushed out of your comfit zone. Anything that no longer serves you, including old friendships, should be discarded to allow new energies to enter your world. The new moon marks a time for rebirth and new personal directions. Many will start a new job or relationship at this time. For the best results, focus on bringing happiness into your future life, rather than base decisions on money or ego if you truly want to make a difference.

Crystal for the month: Mookite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Scorpion

SAGITTARIUS (23rd November - 20th December)

Those creatives out there should have a field day this month with inspiration coming from all sides. Energy levels are strangely high for this time of the year, so take action when the urge hits. Financially things are looking up, with more opportunities for financial gain scattered throughout this month. A small win or rebate is also indicated after the 12th. Its important not to let others dampen your enthusiasm for life at this time. Romantically, you could be spoilt for choice or find more contentment in your own company - either way, it's a win-win for you. An overall happy month if you can keep away from the doom and gloomers. Be prepared to get those gumboots out and jump in the puddles!

Crystal for the month: Citrine

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Dolphin

CAPRICORN (21st December - 19th January)

Stubborn people are the ones that are going to annoy you the most this month. Be ready with alternative plans or to go it alone rather than fight and debate with others. Compromise is not the name of the game right now, but patience and quick thinking should still get things done to a satisfactory standard. Romances do not seem to be going smoothly for most, so perhaps putting a little extra effort in this month would be a good idea. Finances are tight and it will be important to stick to your budgets. A larger expense is looming but with any luck, you should be able to pay it off in stages with little impact overall. This month may not be the best, but having the right attitude can make all the difference! If it all gets too much and you are over peopling, turn to the company of animals instead and your joyful side should return.

Crystal for the month: Dalmation Jasper

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Wolfhound or Bulldog.
