Covid 19 Update:
No astrologer or astrological tool, including this AI-based engine, had foreseen the unprecedented pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus.
 
However, many experts were expecting large scale natural disasters to rock humanity. This is because the two most dreaded planets, Saturn and Pluto meet (conjuncts) at 22°46' Capricorn.
 
This is a rare cosmic influence, that impacts entire mankind, and should be over by February 2021. Astrologically, good fortunes shall prevail from 20th December 2020, when Jupiter meets Saturn - known as the "Great Conjunction".
 
Until then, be safe, and keep your loved ones safe.
 
How adverse is this influence for you?

  • Welcome to July 2023, dear Leo! The beginning of the month finds you taking a break from the hectic pace of your life, and naturally retreating. You are focused on private matters and past issues, you are involved in private love life or simply enjoying yourself, and you are taking time to research and reflect upon your goals. Take some time for rest and give your ego a break!
     
    Overall, you already have a challenging time with your intimate world and resources. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your occupation and public image. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding your career, reputation, ambitions, and social standing. These are long-term trends that are expounded in Yearly Horoscopes.
     
    Also, Mr. TIOS mentions that these decan-wise horoscopes are general observations, and far from accurate. The dates and events may vary from individual to individual - as a glance at the observations for different decans would reveal. For more appropriate observations, he needs your date of birth.

  • 1st July:
    Thought processing, expressions, and communications - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Cancer meeting tactful Mercury in Cancer - primarily influencing your private world and psyche. This is a very busy day mentally. Your mind will be on the ball which favours lots of interactions, clearing paperwork and bills, receiving and sending letters and emails, and short trips around town. You want to chat and start conversations on topics that interest you - with rationality and reasoning.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 2nd July.

     
    And - Optimism, good luck, and happiness - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Cancer connecting with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your private world and psyche.

  • 3rd July:
    Full Moon in - arrives today at 11:39 AM, and lands on your travels and experiences! Full Moons are public (unlike New Moons which are introspective). It fairly bursts forth with energy. The emotional proclamations made now appear new and unrefined, simply because they are expressed as a burst of energy that has not yet been rationalized. Yes, they can be "loony" and sometimes "infantile", but the surge of emotional energy can spur us into healthy action nevertheless. Even though the emotional energy associated with the Full Moon seems new because it is so raw, it’s only the expression of it that is new. The truth is, the desire for change has been sitting with us for a while now, but we haven’t yet had the energy or impetus to do anything about it. That is the beauty of the Full Moon! Still, we need to be aware that there is a tendency to project our own state of restlessness or frustrations onto others. We are especially emotional now, and need to avoid blaming outside circumstances or other people for our own frustrations. An abrupt illumination will present itself - with a need for validation in your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy.
     Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith-matter, and all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you’re going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.

     
     
  • 7th July:
    Exciting news and stimulating conversations - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Cancer connecting with chaotic Uranus in Taurus - primarily influencing your private world and psyche. Your daily routines may take a detour in new and unexpected directions. Along the way, you will learn new things and meet new people. This is a good time for making friends from different backgrounds than your own. Socializing is favoured because of your thought-provoking ideas and kinky sense of humour.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

     
     
  • 10th July:
    Creativity, imagination, sensitivity, and spirituality - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Cancer harmonizing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your private world and psyche. While not such a good day for reading the fine print or studying factoids, your mind is ready to dream up fantasies or obscure theories. All of your communication skills benefit from a non-threatening, caring and soft influence.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

     
     
  • 11th July:
    Aggressive Mars, that is productive and disciplined in Virgo, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

     
    Also - Battle of ideas, as also subversive tactics such as propaganda, mind control, threats, intimidation and other forms of psychological abuse - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Cancer opposing transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your private world and psyche. There is a tendency to put the blinkers on an hone on a particular problem or concept. This is a good time for research, investigation, and uncovering secrets. An intense buildup of mental energy requires an outlet, and this can range from occult studies to fierce debates and arguments.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

     
     
  • 12th July:
    Lively and tactful Mercury in Leo meets your personal Sun. You are especially sharp, communicative, and open at this time. This is because your wants are aligned with your thoughts. It’s a favourable time for solving problems. What you say or write now has impact, for better or for worse! You are likely more interested in talking about yourself than in listening to others. This can be a very busy, communicative, or even hectic day.
     
    And then - Tactful Mercury, that is lively and bold in Leo, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules yourself, your personality, body image, attitude, and outlook. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual–more observant, and more inclined to “live in the head”. Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
     This influence stays with you till 28th July.

     
     
  • 14th July:
    Pleasant surprises and stimulating encounters, as also curiosity and inventiveness - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Cancer connecting with chaotic Uranus in Taurus - primarily influencing your private world and psyche. This is a good time to try something new and exciting, and you should have enough freedom to be able to do this. You should also feeling comfortable expressing the more flamboyant, or kinky side of your personality.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 16th July.

     
     
  • 17th July:
    New Moon in - arrives today at 6:32 PM, and lands on your travels and experiences! New Moons are introspective (unlike Full Moons which are public). It is an emotional time to get in touch with your senses. A potential for renewal, or renewed emphasis, presents itself - with heightened sensitivity in your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy.
     Our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives are in focus in this phase. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

     
    And - High hopes for the future, as also arrogance - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Leo clashing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your self-presentation and views. But while you will have a widely encompassing view or your position, it is important to focus on the smaller details. A lack of concentration, or inability to focus, may lead to some errors of judgment or mistakes. You may also get a bit too cocky, and this could come across in your speech as arrogance or even bigotry.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 18th July.

     
     
  • 19th July:
    Increased sensitivity to your environment and empathy for others, as also highlighted artistic and creative talents - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Cancer harmonizing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your private world and psyche. You may have an urge to help others in need or join community or welfare groups - and more importantly, you may realize that achieving your goals and dreams is of prime importance before you can be of help to others.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 22nd July.

     
    Furthermore - Frustration, disappointment, and anger - are in the air, when the sky observes aggressive Mars in Virgo opposing strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your finances and self-worth. Frustration is due to other people standing in your way. Disappointment comes from unfulfilled desires. The resulting anger is difficult to express therefore requires patience and self-discipline. Even without having to contend with adversaries, you can be your own worst enemy. Personal attacks at this time can be very painful and bring out a mean streak in you. Beware of a tendency to substance abuse.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

The normal tempo of life increases and you may have an unsettling feeling of always having to catch up. This is not the best time for making plans or attending detailed paperwork due to a lack of concentration.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 24th July.

     
     
  • 24th July:
    Generous and mighty Sun in Leo meets your personal Sun. Happy Solar Return! It is time to celebrate - but, pay close attention to your overall mood as well as to any insights you have now. How you handle today - provide clues about the kind of year you have ahead of you! This is the beginning of a astrological year for you, and you feel charged with new energy, vitality, and sense of purpose. This is a time for your personal resolutions, a new start for the year ahead, for new beginnings. With an energy boost and increased vitality, individuality and expression of that comes easier because it is yourself that is in focus. The extra energy is put to best use by expressing what you want, what your goals are, and getting the ball rolling. Make this day an excellent one, as the energies you feel today can be somewhat of a "stamp" for the year ahead.
     
    And then - Mighty Sun, that is generous and proud in Leo, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules yourself, your personality, body image, attitude, and outlook. The Sun illuminates this sector for the next few weeks, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It’s not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It’s time to carve your own path in life.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

     
    Additionally - Sweet Venus turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in your own sign Leo, afflicting your self-presentation and views. Your love life enters a fated period, a period of introspection and reassessment of who or what really brings you pleasure - especially about yourself, your personality, body image, attitude, and outlook. Giving and receiving love, affection, pleasure, and satisfaction becomes more difficult. Same goes for financial dealings or comforts of life - it is not an ideal time for investing or buying luxury items. You might have second thoughts, or simply lose interest, later. This is a good time to evaluate what your heart and mind desires - to improve how you feel about yourself, and to love yourself more. Old friends or lovers may reappear or you may relive past life experiences in order to sort out karmic issues. Even reminiscing about old partners will help to remove your karmic baggage and lighten the load. Destiny encounters are possible and you may actually come into contact with your soulmate - if so, you should experience a feeling of inevitability or familiarity - but it is better to wait until this cycle ends to make your move. You will likely become interested in someone or something of value that would bring you pleasure. During this period, you may find the reasons for problems in earlier or current relationships.
     This Venus Retrograde cycle, starts with affecting your personal appearance and mannerisms. This cycle will strongly influence the personal image you project to others. Others may misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself. You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Try to keep things status quo with regards to your love life. Don't worry if a lover isn't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Venus turns direct. Also, take this time to review your instinctual responses to new things and the first impression your make on others in terms of how these things help or hinder you.
     Backward-moving Venus joins along with Saturn, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     This retrograde cycle especially effects you more adversely than any other zodiac sign or native. Take precaution!
     This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

     
     
  • 27th July:
    Mesmerizing communications, love, gifts, and appreciations - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Leo meeting sweet Venus in Leo - primarily influencing your self-presentation and views. Today is the right time to tell someone you love them, or recieve someone's love and appreciation. You are in touch with what you love about a person and can more easily express this than at other times. Trading and negotiating are favoured because of your smooth communication style and eye for a bargain.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 28th July.

     
     
  • 29th July:
    Tactful Mercury, that is focused and efficient in Virgo, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

     
     
  • 31st July:
    A desire to compete to win, even with selfish intentions - is in the air, when the sky observes aggressive Mars in Virgo harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your finances and self-worth. This influence is one of the best indicators of successful action. Successes in war, sport, sexual conquest and business. Applying such bountiful and positive energy toward any righteous cause is bound to bring the benefits you desire. This is one of those rare times when risk-taking is advised.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

     
     
  • Best wishes for July 2023, as always! The overall monthly trends, along with relevant minor transits and their influences are detailed below for further reference.

 
OVERALL MONTHLY TRENDS
 

 
Central Focus, Consciousness for Jul 2023
Sun represents our concious mind - our will to live and our creative life force. It is the basis of our core personality, our style, our ego, our life purpose, and some might say, even our destiny. Sun's transit illuminates the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your focus along with it. It stays in each sign for barely a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 365.25 days.
  • Sun, the luminary of self, continues to illuminate the sector of your solar chart that rules privacy, spirituality, and spheres of life that is beyond our control - until 23rd July. During this influence, you focus on your inner world, and seek to withdraw from your attachments, making yourself retreat in order to reflect and introspect.
    + Show Details
    Till 23rd July, Sun transits your House XII: Personal life, privacy, and spirituality.
     
    During this cycle, it is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past solar year.
     
    This period marks a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have - to things, people, and routines - and consider which ones are dragging you down.
     
    This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It is a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year.
     
    You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now. Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signalling you to take a break.Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective.
     
    This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
     
    Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
  • From 24th July onwards, Sun spotlights the sector of your solar chart that rules individual personality and projected self - for the rest of the month. During this influence, you focus on yourself, and seek to bring issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront.
    + Show Details
    24th July onwards, Sun transits your House I: Individual personality and projected self.
     
    During this cycle, you experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it is a strong time for increased personal confidence.
     
    Issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behaviour, and self-expression are brought to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life.
     
    This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavours. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
     
    The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road. You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy. There is nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It is not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavours. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities.
     
    The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It is time to carve your own path in life.

 
Love, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure for Jul 2023
Venus represents two main areas of our life - love and money. It is the basis of our sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life, our tastes, our pleasures, our artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy. Venus' transit graces the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your sensations and experiences along with it. It stays in each sign for less than a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 225 days.
  • Venus, the planet of luxury, continues to grace the sector of your solar chart that rules individual personality and projected self - for the entire month. This influence boosts your personal magnetism, making you pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms.
    + Show Details
    For the entire period, Venus transits your House I: Individual personality and projected self.
     
    You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle!
     
    This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience.
     
    You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness.
     
    You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
     
    You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial, if you are not careful), and likeable now. Take advantage!
  • However, from 24th July to 31st July, when Venus is retrograde (backward-moving), you may lack satisfaction, and may be thinking backwards - especially in matters of individual personality, and representation.

 
Communications, Connections, Transportation for Jul 2023
Mercury represents our day-to-day expression and communication. It is the basis of the way we think, the way we connect with others, and the way we communicate with others - decidedly unemotional and curious.

    Till 11th July, Mercury transits your House XII: Personal life, privacy, and spirituality.
     
    You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance!
     
    Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues - this is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You are searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past, and clear decision-making does not come easily.
     
    This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt.
     
    Creative endeavours could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive.
     
    You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
     
    It is a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
  • From 12th July onwards, Mercury enlightens the sector of your solar chart that rules individual personality and projected self - until 28th July. This influence makes you more communicative than usual, more interested in expressing yourself than listening.

    12th July to 28th July, Mercury transits your House I: Individual personality and projected self.
     
    During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening!
     
    You are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual - more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head".
     
    It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax!
     
    Relationships with siblings, neighbours, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
     
    It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavour that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanour is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
     
    You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
  • From 29th July onwards, Mercury enlightens the sector of your solar chart that rules money, possessions, and values - for the rest of the month. This influence makes you more practical and rational in your approach to finances, analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power.

    29th July onwards, Mercury transits your House II: Money, possessions, and values.
     
    This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power!
     
    You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment.
     
    Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
     
    Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle.
     
    Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

    Till 10th July, Mars transits your House I: Individual personality and projected self.
     
    You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual!
     
    You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way - however big or small - and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back.
     
    You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push.
     
    In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper. Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process!
     
    This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality.
     
    Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period.
     
    On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.

    11th July onwards, Mars transits your House II: Money, possessions, and values.
     
    You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values!
     
    This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle.
     
    Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so.
     
    You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership.
     
    The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.
