July 4-6 Fairly good days with the Sun aspected by Chiron or Jupiter or both.

July 11 Could be good for initiating certain types of new business, or for lasting associations

July 12- 22 The Saturn-Jupiter midpoint square Earth in helio, followed by Saturn quincunx Earth, makes these days to avoid for any important new beginnings

July 31- Aug. 2- Jupiter trine Sun makes these generally favorable days for new initiatives

Aug. 10- 13 The Saturn-Chiron midpoint square Sun or Earth makes these very poor days for starting anything new

Aug. 17- 18 While good for both passionate and money-making new ventures, anything started now could ultimately become a burden

Aug. 19- 23 Saturn is conjunct Sun, opposite Earth, and/or parallel Sun. Definitely not the days for new beginnings.

Sept. 11- 12 Could be good days for business initiatives if your own transits agree

Sept. 17- 25 Yikes! Saturn/Jupiter or Saturn quincunx Earth, and/or Saturn/Chiron parallel then contraparallel Sun... don't start anything or meet anyone new... and...

Sept. 21 begins a universal Saturn/Chiron contraparallel applying through Oct. 15. This will not be a good time for any new beginnings so avoid or postpone these when you can. More on this in next quarter's StarGazer.

Aries- Mar 21- Apr 20:  An early focus on domestic matters will shift to a need to feel yourself in the limelight for a good part of this quarter. Then, some hard work and dedication will be called for to wrap up the quarter. By all means let yourself have some fun and give vent to the creative urges coursing through you. Even factoring in plenty of time for lighthearted amusements, you will still be working hard to keep the cash flow coming in. Financial partnerships could continue to be highly profitable as long as you find ways in advance to sidestep potential disputes. Whether you are single or in a committed relationship, romance is highlighted.

Taurus- Apr 21- May 21:  Hearth and home will matter a great deal to you throughout the quarter. Expect overall positive experiences there, though you will also have some substantial domestic responsibilities. By later in the quarter, you'll be ready to let down your hair and have some fun. Long-term relationships should offer considerable shelter and peace. Avoid giving the appearance of having a chip on your shoulder out in the world- you could be a bit too contentious now. Try as you might, work and career matters may be hard to solidify or get a fix on- by next quarter, expect this to improve.

Gemini- May 22- Jun 21:  Money matters are quite a focus for you as we kick off the third quarter. Later, you enter an exceptionally communicative phase, even for you. For the most part, you'll know just what sweet words to say, but you could also pop out with things better left unsaid. Your work ethic is strong, and you are very oriented toward service, loyalty, and doing your best. At some point depending on your chart, you will be entering a phase of change in your career- exciting at times, and possibly unsettling at other times. Use this time of change when it starts to its fullest to move your career in desirable directions. By fall, you'll be thinking of nesting in with loved ones.

Cancer- Jun 22- Jul 23:  You are drawn to innovative ways of looking at the world and to travel and teachers who can open up new vistas for you- the more novel and outside your previous experiences, the better. Friendships may be confrontational now- be patient with proven friends as things will return to a more peaceful way of being with a little time. By mid-quarter, finances will occupy much of your attention. Expect good luck in general, though an economic pinch or two could occur. Domestic matters may be baffling in some way- seek the truth within yourself and from others. If you are single, a very high-quality new person could enter your life. Long-term relationships should be in a loving phase.

Leo- Jul 24- Aug 23: Strive for clarity in all communications now. You are very visible to others now and for the most part, your sterling character and exceptional charm are what is seen. Continue to avoid any appearance of pomposity or a hunger for control. You are pouring much energy into your career, and could conceivably give so much that you feel somewhat used. Strike a balance and avoid playing the martyr. Committed relationships should find romance revived, single Leos might find dates that create too drama for your taste. A partner's finances could be all over the map for a while, though sudden windfalls are also a possibility.

Virgo- Aug 24- Sep 23:  At some point this quarter, you will enter a month-long phase of the desire for quiet and some space for yourself. Whatever kind of retreat time you are able to orchestrate will be very soothing and very important to your peace of mind. Travel may not be the best idea, as disruptions or disputes could be possible. This is also a time to follow all the rules of the road and elsewhere to avoid a confrontation with authority. New financial arrangements may not be all they appear to be, so don't involve yourself with anything that isn't solid gold. Meeting a potential future mate is possible for single Virgos. Settled Virgos are probably experiencing significant changes in their relationships and around the house.

Libra- Sep 24- Oct 23:  This is a time when affiliations in the world mean much to you. Friendships, group associations and working toward the betterment of others are all spotlighted. By late in the quarter, you'll be ready for some rest and time off. Cash flow should be strong, though you could find that despite your generosity, someone feels like they deserve more from you. Your home is important to you and you should feel safe and loved. A highly magnetic aura surrounds you now, and could find yourself attracting others without effort. Single Librans will certainly be making romantic plans, and may find them fulfilled. Do your best to curb restlessness and be sure to fulfill your daily responsibilities.

Scorpio- Oct 24- Nov 22:  Career will likely be your major focus for much of the quarter. Expect major rewards to come your way, but don't expect these rewards to come without significant effort. A genial and very likeable aura continues to surround you and you are more approachable than usual. Eating carefully can help moderate possible weight gain as Jupiter transits your first house for some time. Long-term relationships need lots of activity to channel disputatious energy, and be sure to sidestep pointless wrangling. Overall, though, the domestic scene should be peaceful- make a plan to get something done there. Single Scorps may meet unusual dates.

Sagittarius- Nov 23- Dec 22:  Learning and travel can be highly rewarding, though may not be as easy to implement as you would like. Legal matters may end favorably, though not without a hitch or two. Try to work smart, not just furiously and be sure to get some quiet time with familiar friends as an antidote. New friends who cross your path could be highly intriguing but may not make the grade over time. On a basic level, the way you live is in a process of change. Be proactive with this and weed out the old both internally and externally. By all means don't try to cling to anything outmoded.

Capricorn- Dec 23- Jan 20: Financial matters are highlighted, particularly financial partnerships and common assets. General agreement and profitability is likely, though your partner may hold more control than you might like. In your career, you must keep everything crystal clear and avoid any gray areas or self-delusion. New friends have an excellent chance of being "keepers." Single Caps will likely stay very busy in the social whirl, though may encounter overly assertive types. Someone met while dating could become a business associate. Deep transformations continue within your subconscious mind.

Aquarius- Jan 21- Feb 19:  Serious relationships are a major focus for much of the quarter, whether you have one, want one, or are avoiding one. Overall this part of your life should be favorable, but the whole topic could feel burdensome at times. New philosophies should be adopted slowly if at all now as you could easily find them to be disappointing in the near future. Your career is in a lucky phase and your dedication inspires others. Even so, cash flow could be uneven, though a wonderful windfall is just as likely as an unexpected loss. If missiles are flying at home, duck, and don't lob any yourself.

Pisces- Feb 20- Mar 20: Though the quarter may start out playfully, your focus changes to hard work at some point and little will escape your thorough approach. Thankfully, you'll find ways to make even the daily grind pleasurable and satisfying for much of the quarter. Assert yourself conversationally with care as you could seem overly argumentative. Don't sign on to any new financial partnerships now as you are unlikely to have the full story. You want to be uniquely yourself and to experiment with new looks regardless of the opinions of others. Quiet time alone will allow your creativity the greatest room to manifest itself.
