July 2021 Motivational Astrology Forecast: Forever Young!
“There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever.” — E. Lawrence
When you think about your childhood, what springs to mind? No matter how long ago that might have been, our experiences, interests and interactions back then helped to shape who we are today! Our youth was when we formulated our likes, dislikes and discovered the things that sparked our imaginations and brought joy to our lives! In reflecting back to your youth, can you recall some favourite moments that you remember fondly? Things that made you laugh, toys that amused you or events that inspired you? Do you remember what you dreamed of doing, wanted to become or strived to achieve? There was something there that gave you a sense of excitement about the future. What was it? It’s never too late to feel that exhilaration and sense of wonder again!
Although time has past and we may have outgrown our “youth”, that wide-eyed and eager child still resides within each of us! Even though we are “mature” and dealing with “adult” issues, (like worry, stress, bills to pay and jobs to do!), we shouldn’t let these limit our sense of wonder, fun feelings or need for play! That youthful energy still exists in our hearts and souls and needs to be recognized! Realigning and re-identifying with the dreams and delights of our childhood is key to keeping the enthusiasm for life with us always — at any age!
Whatever your youthful dreams, take some action this month to reconnect with them! Can you recall what brought you pleasure, inspired your mind, opened your heart or made you smile? Revisit those things! Take up that craft you once enjoyed, re-read the books that sparked your imagination, practice that instrument you once loved, re-learn that foreign language, take up interesting classes online, join a group that shares your interests, write, draw, colour, sew, build, plant, craft, dance, sing, act — whatever it was that brought delight to YOU can be re-birthed and recreated in your life in some way, once again! Allow that inner child to once again come out and play — it’s the way to stay forever young!
Where can You find opportunities for renewed joy and delights to embrace this month? Here’s your Motivational Astrology forecast for July 2021:

* 10 July 2021 (9th in U.S.A): New Moon in Cancer — Nurture Your Inner Child! New Moons symbolize beginnings as well as a chance to refresh your dreams and carve out a new chapter in life! In the nurturing sign of Cancer, we are encouraged to acknowledge our inner child and the joys and pleasures we can recount from our youth. This is a beautiful opportunity to retrieve happy memories, tap into our young-at-heart instincts and share youthful “fun” with like-hearted others! This lunar light gives us a lovely chance to remember our young years and the past-times we then enjoyed — perhaps inspiring us to embrace those delights once again! Use this time to to nurture, acknowledge, appreciate and cherish that young one that is STILL within you and often needs a little TLC, care and love! Be your own parent to your own beautiful inner child and make peace with what was while encouraging further healing, happiness and enjoyment for what’s ahead! New Moon Blessings! (*New Moon 18° Cancer Times*: Where are YOU?: New Zealand: 10 July 1:18pm; New York: 9 July 9:18pm:; Chicago: 9 July 8:18pm; Los Angeles: 9 July 6:18pm; Melbourne: 10 July 11:18am; Buenos Aires: 9 July 10:18pm; London: 10 July 2:18am; Zurich: 10 July 3:18am; Singapore: 10 July 9:18am; Hong Kong: 10 July 9:18am; Santorini: 10 July 4:18am; Cape Town: 10 July 3:18am; New Delhi: 10 July 6:48am(IST); Moscow: 10 July 4:18am; Dubai: 10 July 5:18am)
* 12 July 2021 (11th in U.S.A): Mercury goes into Cancer — What’s Shapes You? As the planet of thought and memory moves into the sensitive sign of Cancer, we may be reminiscing about our past or be reminded of things from our early years. In our quest for understanding who we are and what our lives are about, we often reflect on what we were taught, our upbringing or family input. These certainly contributed to who you have become, but what really has shaped you is your personal experiences, trials, triumphs and lessons you’ve learned on the road of life. The meaning of your life is what you make it. Now is the time to honour your personal makeup — nurture your needs and applaud the person you have become. By appreciating your inner strength as well as outer accomplishments, you take responsibility for the unique and individual spirit that YOU have created! Mercury will be in Cancer until 28 July 2021.
* 22 July 2021 (21th in U.S.A.): Venus goes into Virgo — Love Gets Real! As Venus, the Goddess of Love planet shifts from Leo to Virgo, the way we demonstrate love, affection and enjoyment shifts from overt to more reserved, practical and pragmatic. This marks a time when we’re more mindful of the details, nuances and specific issues regarding our lives and interactions with others. Our relationships will need to make more sense, be more serviceable and have a purposeful, realistic place in our lives. This is not the time for seeking perfection — that only leads to nitpicking and critical thought. Instead, keep your mind open and see all possibilities and potentials in life. Acknowledge the individual beauty within yourself and strive now toward greater health, healing and holistic expression of your unique and magical spirit! Venus will be in Virgo until 16 August 2021.
* 23 July 2021 (22nd in U.S.A.): Sun goes into Leo — Ignite Your Heart-Light! As the Sun starts its month long journey through the outgoing and heart-ruled fire sign of Leo, we’ll have a full-on opportunity to cultivate more self respect, self assurance and self awareness! This is the cycle for focusing on YOU — your creative abilities, your expressions of love and your ability to feel confident enough to jump into exciting activities and new adventures! The Sun in Leo can spark a time of exuberance, affection, artistic expression — igniting our hearts and playful spirits while lighting the way for more vibrant interactions. Use this Solar cycle to let your spirit sparkle, help your visions to be realized and enhance your self discovery! Unleash your inner glimmer — honoring your personal gifts and abilities! This will bring you the acknowledgment, appreciation and recognition that you seek! Allow your inner Lion to roar in celebration of ALL that YOU are and ALL that YOU can do! The Sun will be in Leo until 23 August 2021.
* 24 July 2021 (23rd in U.S.A.): Full Moon in Aquarius — Liberate Your Life! This Full Moon in the liberating sign of Aquarius, helps us to consider ways we can break out of any restrictions and find greater freedom of expression in our lives. Full Moons signify culmination, when energies and feelings in our lives come to a head and urge us to look at the issues we need to release in order to move forward. This large Lunar energy signals a time when we may encounter a stronger sense of self liberation, the need for greater freedom to express ourselves and a desire to be more of our own person! Greater individualization can be experienced now as we push out of our comfort zones and release any hangups or obstacles that have stood in our way! We are urged now to release any hardships from the past and blaze new trails that reflect our true wants and desires! This full lunar illumination encourages us to do our own thing, in our own way while sharing our unique abilities. We can feel more secure now in being different, being original and honouring the individual way we view and experience life. Let go of inhibitions, brainstorm what has been holding you back and unleash your multifaceted potential — grow in the discovery of yourself in order to share your gifts with the world! (*Full Moon 1° Aquarius Times*: New Zealand: 24 July 2:37pm; New York: 23 July 10:37pm; Chicago: 23 July 9:37pm; Los Angeles: 23 July 7:37pm; Melbourne: 24 July 12:37pm; Buenos Aires: 23 July 11:37pm; London: 24 July 3:37am; Zurich: 24 July 4:37am; Singapore: 24 July 10:37am; Hong Kong: 24 July 10:37am; Santorini: 24 July 5:37am; Cape Town: 24 July 4:34am; New Delhi: 24 July 8:07am(IST); Moscow: 24 July 5:37am; Dubai: 24 July 6:37am)
* 28 July 2021 (27th in U.S.A.) Mercury goes into Leo — Creative Self Expression! One way we have of honoring our unique life path comes through our self expression. Our thoughts, views of life, philosophies and individual knowledge can be appreciated more now as we have greater opportunity to share them with others. With the planet of Communication in the sign of artistic articulation, we embark on a new 2 month cycle of better utilization of our creative knowledge, dramatic ideas and enthusiastic insights in order to advance our lives and celebrate our connections with others. It’s a great time to get social, go with your gut and dare to be recognized for the sparkling spirit that YOU are! Speak up now with greater confidence, keeping your thoughts determined and definite, while sharing life affirming energy! Mercury will be in Leo until 12 August 2021.
* 29 July 2021 (28 in U.S.A.): Jupiter Retrogrades back into Aquarius — Intuitive Invention! Jupiter, the benevolent planet representing expansion and opportunity, retrograding through the compassionate sign of Pisces, will be backing into the inventive sign of Aquarius. For the next 2 ½ months, we can find our intuitions and imaginations can come up with new ways of doing things and unique ways of expression. This can actually be a profound time of inner growth, promoting the broadening of our minds, souls and spirits. This Retrograde period encourages us to work on restoring or reviving any project or relationship that needs healing. We can now better face our fears, knowing that we can overcome them and emerge stronger and happier. It’s a good time for re-connection — with yourself, with those you can about and with Universal sensitivity. This period can be utilized for going inward and examining one’s self from an introspective, metaphysical or spiritual perspective. Despite it’s ‘backward’ motion, Jupiter urges us to grow our intuitive and inventive natures and embark on further holistic endeavours. Look now to greater love and care of one another while working toward increased awareness of social justice, equal rights and improvements to numerous humanitarian projects. As Jupiter moves through ethereal Aquarius/Pisces energies, we may experience a “New Age” feeling of spiritual growth and the chance to make positive changes in how we view ourselves, each other and our world. Jupiter will be Retrograding in Pisces until 29 July 2021, when it Retrogrades back into Aquarius, going Direct in motion on 18 October and back into Pisces 30 December 2021 and will remain in Pisces until 11 May 2022!
* 30 July 2021 (29rd in U.S.A.): Mars goes into Virgo — Productive Achievement! Welcome a new cycle of activity based on greater practicality, discipline, organization and achievement! For the next month and a half we can find passion in the details of our life while being able to accomplish more of our goals. As the planet of Action moves into detail-oriented Virgo, we have a most favourable time for self improvement, working toward greater health and finding ways to build self belief as part of your daily routine. In pursuing your goals, consider actions carefully and execute plans systematically, while avoiding perfectionistic tendencies. You can tap into plenty of energy now to get things done, but pace yourself and don’t let nervous energy be your downfall. By examining your attitudes and how they define you, you’ll find better ways of successfully utilizing your energies going forward. Experience and knowledge are important now, so allow yourself to embrace both for greater personal success! Mars will be in Virgo until 15 September 2021.
* The Outer Planets stay in a sign for a longer period of time, so their effect on us is more gradual, but significant none the less. Here they are in their current positions:
* Jupiter in Pisces/Aquarius Retrograde: Jupiter, the benevolent planet representing expansion, moving through the compassionate sign of Pisces, brings a new cycle of advancement as it continues its Retrograde motion. Jupiter in Pisces, which lasts for about a year, marks a period of greater feeling, sensitivity and creative/mystical inspiration! It is also a time of further philanthropic outlooks, humanitarian efforts and feelings of ‘Oneness’ with the Universe! This is a period emphasizing our care of one another, greater equality, the breaking down of barriers and the growth of our spiritual awareness. We are encouraged to grow our intuitive natures and embark on holistic endeavours and look to greater healing — of ourselves and others. This compatible Jupiter/Pisces pairing increases our creative awareness, philosophical expressions and the need to serve the world by sharing our feelings of love and care with one another. There will be an increased awareness of social justice, equal rights and improvements in wide ranging humanistic projects. As Jupiter moves through ethereal Pisces we may experience a “New Age” feeling of spiritual growth and the chance to make positive changes in how we view ourselves, each other and our world. We now have the opportunity to be more aware of the positive effect that we can manifest in our own lives while also being cognizant of the suffering of others and what we can do to liberate the oppressed. Jupiter will be in Pisces until 29 July 2021 (when it Retrogrades back into Aquarius) and then again in Pisces from 30 December 2021 to 11 May 2022.
* Saturn is in Aquarius Retrograde: As Saturn, the planet representing responsibility, maturity and structure travels backwards through the liberating sign of Aquarius, we’ll experience a reviewing process of the major concerns for our society, each other and our life on Earth. Greater humanitarian, socially empathetic and altruistic endeavours will be all in line for revision. This reworking cycle will focus on gaining awareness of the importance of each individual, cultivating greater tolerance, broad-mindedness, liberalism and working toward a collective consciousness — shared beliefs and attributes that can unite us rather than divide us. A detachment from the old ways of doing things in favour of new innovation will also be readdressed. Additionally, new technological, medical and scientific advances will will mark this period along with new methods of working toward the betterment of society. This Saturn Retrograde cycle helps us to rework our guidelines and leadership direction now for a more positive and prosperous time ahead. We’ll be urged now to reconsider what’s no longer working in our lives and what we can do to improve ourselves and our course of action for a better future tomorrow. Saturn will be going Retrograde from 23 May 2021 until 11 October 2021. Saturn will remain in Aquarius until 7 March 2023.
* Uranus in Taurus: The planet signifying change, revolution and innovation is in the sign of Taurus which represents its opposite — stability, assurance and safeguarding! For the years ahead this Uranus/Taurus pairing will highlight liberation from the customary way of doing things in favor of new methods and inventive techniques. Also, as Taurus rules our personal values, creativity, material goods, finances, food and general enjoyment, we will see new innovations in these areas. Uranus will seek to shift the security-conscious/money-minded principles of the Bull by remodeling the way we handle our resources, material wealth and investment interests. We can expect a new wave of economic innovation helping us to focus on being more authentic and practical in our approach to things. We will also experience further shifting themes on how we view stability. More change will certainly be a feature in our future, so expect change, revolution, fluctuation and acts of defiance. Be ready to adapt rather than fighting to hang onto the old ways of being! Remember: Change equals opportunity! Uranus will be in the sign of Taurus until 7 July 2025.
* Neptune in Pisces Retrograde: The planet ruling dreams and creativity continues its transit through its ruling sign of Pisces, encouraging us to honour more of our spiritual awareness, artistic inspiration and intuitive insight! Greater appreciation for the beauty around us as well as within us is also emphasized. We are urged to feel and express greater “we-are-all-one” compassion toward ourselves and others — along with further sympathetic understanding and involvement with humanitarian endeavours. Greater focus on our faith, spirituality and need for understanding of one another is highlighted! With Neptune in Pisces, we are helped to be more ‘in tune’ with our feelings, sensitivities and artistic side of our nature. We can also find further focus on our faith, future hopes, visions of a better tomorrow, spirituality and global understanding. Neptune will be in Pisces until 31 March 2025.
* Pluto in Capricorn Retrograde: As the planet of Transformation continues its ‘backward’ travels through the sober sign of Capricorn, we reexamine serious issues and concerns regarding the positive changes we would like to make to ourselves and our world. The overall theme of this cycle is uncovering the misuse of power and authority to enable change for the better. It represents a major time of rediscovery, review and reconsideration that brings transformation to our society, government, world order and Mother Earth. It also pushes us to think about the changes we want to make to our belief structures and our power as individuals and as citizens of the world. Pluto will continue to be going back and forth in Capricorn until 20 November 2024.
* Chiron is in Aries: As the minor planet/comet Chiron, connected to the archetype of the “wounded healer” moves through the independent, assertive and aggressive fire sign of Aries, our identities are highlighted. During this time we’ll have greater opportunity to overcome personal obstacles, discover new strength, manifest healing and further self confidence. Chiron is said to act as a link between the conscious and unconscious and as such, can represent transformation in body, mind and soul. As we surmount challenges, we find greater empowerment, advancing our unique spirits while manifesting more of our dreams. Chiron will be in Aries until 2027.
