The Sun brings attention to your 10th house this month. The 10th house rules your work and career. This transit could bring hard-won recognition. It could also bring scrutiny from yourself as you look at your work and see if it matches what you really want to do. In the case where you are not really excited about your field of work or workplace, you may be very motivated to make some strides towards changing that.
Employment changes or the process of considering a change or looking into options are all more likely at this time. Be open to the possibility that although stress and uncertainty may be brought by these changes, there could be opportunities to create more of the life you have envisioned for yourself that you were too hesitant to jump into without the intense provocation or other incentive that could come now.
The Suns placement in this sector could bring some insights into your true calling and luck in finding a more perfect match.
New opportunities or ones from the past through ideas, clients, contacts, or anything else could help in a big way. This is a great time start (or continue) to put together your plan for changing directions. Taking steps in the backdrop, experimenting with a new path, and researching/gathering information are well-supported at this time.
If you already love your work you may find you are extra-excited now about it and could be entering a Renaissance Period with your work. Past labors can show up now in major ways. Opportunities, projects, or contacts from the past can resurface with new life. Opportunities can come in suddenly or things planned in the past could work out in a wonderful way now.
Prepare to be busy and have a focus on business, getting organized, taking care of practical necessities in the forefront.
The area of the chart that is accentuated now also rules your reputation out in the world. Your name and work might become greater known during this transit 🙂
For those who are retired or for whom ‘work/career’ isn’t relevant, and also for all others still in the workplace, the 10th house focus may cause you to be asking for or finding insights about your higher purpose. Contemplation about a plan that would put you on a path where you feel ‘on track’ is great use of the potentials of this month and education and looking into options are great ways to use the the energies so there is plenty of room to explore, wonder, and dream, as well as looking deep into things relevant to your higher work in the world all month and beyond through the year. Even if you can’t see exactly where you are going, taking obvious steps that present themselves now can feel very fulfilling and lead you on a powerful path of positive change. It is an amazing time to ‘try things on’ and experiment. Something exciting to say YES to could come up that brings you great joy.
Since this house also rules father energy, you could find yourself focusing on your dad (or other father figure), or some situation of note may come up involving him. Maybe is going through something and he needs help or he could be assisting you in some way. It might be a good time to check in with him or work on your relationship in some way.
July 2022 is finally out of the heat of eclipse season and is still in the awesome last open window of 2022 that is free from personal planetary retrogrades that started June 19 and lasts through August 21.
Take advantage of the momentum and more clear skies ripe with forward movement as this time won’t last long.
While we do have more salty aspects compared to sweet ones this month, we still have an abundance of wonderful aspects, including 5 trines – one water, two in air, and three in fire.
Watch out in the early part of the month for a challenged aspect between Mars in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn (on July 1st but will be felt strongly for 4-5 days before and after that date). This aspect can be volatile and stressful. Follow your intuition and avoid bringing up touchy topics. If someone comes to you with fire, try to douse it with the waters of understanding and patience. If it is yourself that is feeling the flames of anger or resentment, consider writing a letter (that you never send) to vent the feelings instead of dumping energetically on someone else. You are more likely to be heard if you work the charge off of the issue BEFORE you try to interact with the person you are mad at.
Lingering Gemini energy, especially in the earlier part of the month, will continue the busy-ness and possibly scatterdness that has been present in the stars for a while. Vacillation between options, prolific communication (with others directly or through writing or other projects), travel, and social opportunities that this sign tends to bring.
Cancer energies bring your attention to your and other peoples emotions, home, family, housing, real estate, and other home or home business based topics.
The Leo energies that start in the last third of the month shift from emotion to creativity and feeling to manifestation. Romance, children, passion projects, bucket list experiences all move center stage at this time.
