CANCER June 22-July 23 This beautiful new moon in Cancer rides in with the celestial accompaniment of Venus— lucky you! Now you can open that glowing white invitation from the cosmos to renew and rejuvenate yourself on the most internal and external levels. This happens once a year and it is truly your time to shine and set the tone for your year ahead. How would you like to look? And feel? Write a wish list; you will return to it in six months. Do it now—this really works. The Mars and Saturn meeting of July 10th will call for you to make an important decision, and this one will be of lasting value. Advice for the parents of a Cancer child Cancer is ruled by the moon, and the moon, of course, waxes and wanes as the tides of the ocean go from high to low. So the Cancerian baby is very much in tune with these natural cycles of the Earth. On a full moon, Cancers can become quite emotional, and on the new moon, they tend to be more action oriented. |
Groovy traits of a Cancer: Tenacious, shrewd, intuitive, kind, compassionate, domesticated, excellent memory, helpful, caring, loving, protective, nurturing and are sensitive to the needs of others around them. Not-so-Groovy traits of a Cancer: Possessive, very easily hurt, crabby, moody, matriarchal, holds on to insults, selfish, manipulative, temperimental, stubborn, introspective, demanding, frustrated easily, overpowering, and easily takes offense at insults. |

LEO July 24-August 23 Mars, that fiery planet of action, has been in your sign for the last two months and you have probably accomplished quite a lot in retrospect. Now Mars will finally exit and give you a chance to relax. Do use this valuable time to nurture yourself and reflect, because these times don’t come around that often. A new moon in the most hidden part of your chart will unveil what needs to be exposed in full light the week of July 3rd, and July 14 will be a day to harness your intuition as your dreams may hold great insights as well. Advice for the parents of a Leo child Leo kiddies are just waiting to put on a show most of the time. The girls love costume jewelry and dressing up, and the boys usually have an interest in music or performing. With a little encouragement, they will knock your socks off and bring smiles to everyone. |

VIRGO August 24-September 23 Jupiter lights up the romance sector of your chart and this flirty new moon of July 3rd will fill up your social calendar—yes, it’s a busy month. If single, now you have the definite green light to finally meet new people, and this time, the planets are on your side. If you’re in a great relationship, then you and your partner might enjoy a very sexy full moon on July 18th. Mars and Saturn will convene in your sign on July 10th and start demanding that you set a serious long-term plan. These planets are right—it’s about time, Virgo. Advice for parents of a Virgo child This is that sign that actually loves to work and craves productivity and yielding results. Virgo kids are usually sweet, but a bit reserved—their confidence comes with age. This is because they have a tendency to doubt themselves and do need a good deal of positive encouragement when growing up. Giving Virgos little jobs to do that are useful and creative will give great satisfaction and build confidence. |

Advice for parents of a Libra child Libra children are born at the time of year when the weather gets a bit too cold to spend much time outside any longer and people begin to retreat inward. The harvest of Virgo has been reaped and now we can begin to enjoy this harvest and dine in good company. Libra represents the stage of life where we begin to nurture our relationships more and that is exactly what Librans are here to show us. As children, their early relations are what shape their views of the world. |

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 As a tried-and-true Scorpio loyalist, you tend to be there for your friends no matter what the case is. Now an alliance of yours may put this to the test. The glow around July 10th will pose a challenging time for a good friend of yours, and your support will be in high demand.

Your gold standard in friendships is much appreciated. Advice for parents of a Scorpio child Scorpio children often have an adorable but devilish look in their eyes. They naturally want to go where they are told not to because of this fearlessness. And luckily, they are also well equipped to maneuver out. These tots are totally resilient, ingrained with a strong self-preservation instinct. They have a high moral standard and will even stick up for the rights of others. |

If you have been studying a certain skill for some time, now is your chance to really put it to the test, as Mars finally enters your career sector. July 10th will call for a big decision to be made about your current position and this choice might have lasting value, so think long term. Advice for parents of a Sagittarius child Each sign rules a different body part and Sag rules the hips. Why? Because our hips give us mobility and flexibility. That’s why Sagittarius is all about freedom. These are the ideal babies to take on road trips or planes because even they sense the vast opportunities associated with travel and will always be flexible. |

You simply have a glow of shining confidence around you while lucky Jupiter transits your sign and it remains there until 2009. Advice for the parents of a Capricorn child Allowing your Capricorn to take on as much responsibility as he or she can handle will foster his or her sense of self-esteem. You can trust these kids to follow through on most any task because they will have their own standards of excellence to live up to, which are really quite high. The one thing they will need to really grasp is the fact that it’s okay to make mistakes sometimes. |

AQUARIUS January 21-February 19 Out with the old and in with the new! A new approach to health will be necessary, and with a bright new moon in your health sector June 3rd, you will have the ability to make a long-range plan that really sticks this time. You can finally put your wishes into action, whether it means joining a gym, changing your diet, dancing more often or whatever will make you more vibrant in the world. July 14th and 22nd will bring about new and innovative solutions to an old dilemma, as your ruler, Uranus, begins to wake up any sleeping planets in your chart. Advice for the parents of an Aquarius child Aquarians are the humanitarian sign of the zodiac, feeling kinship to animals and all peers regardless of their background. They might enjoy organizing a charity at a young age or volunteering their time at a local community group.

On July 26th, Jupiter will be sending help in case you may need to mend an important relationship (it could be with a partner or friend). It will be well worth it. Advice for the parents of a Pisces child Pisces kids make great, loyal friends and will always help out a friend in need. I have seen these kids take off their sweater because they feel another child might need it more. Their sensitivity to others is so pronounced and sweet that often they might need to be reminded of their own needs as well. Pisces are the sign that gives without asking for anything in return and, indeed, that is the true nature of giving. |

ARIES March 21-April 20 With your planetary ruler Mars and serious Saturn teaming up on July 10th, you will seem to have a major decision at hand.

The reality of the month will be about re-establishing your foundation and asking yourself if it is as secure and solid as you desire. And if not, how may you achieve this? By July 26th, Jupiter and go-for-it Mars will be in an ideal place for you to really forge ahead with new plans. Advice for the parents of an Aries child A fiery Aries tot is all about the experiential realm of life, and as children, they will want to experience virtually everything in sight. This archetypal wanderlust is contagious and, of course, by being the parent of one of these vibrant creatures, you are bound to catch some of this zest, too. |

You should be able to reach a happy conclusion by July 26th when Jupiter’s luck reaches out a helping hand. If necessary, counseling might help—or else speak your truth and listen very well. The new moon June 3rd falls in your communications sector, so a new and improved way of communicating is what we’re talking about. Advice for the parents of a Taurus child Your Taurus has good taste. Even at a young age, this one is learning to appreciate the beauties this world has to offer. Since Taurus is an earth sign, they may love to get involved with finger painting, pottery or gardening. They are quite natural at relating to the tangible world and seeing the beauty in it all. |

GEMINI May 22-June 21 Your financial outlook will be quite different by the time July ends and there’s a lot that must happen between now and then. First of all, the universe deems that you begin the month with an increase in salary. You might even begin to think about embarking on a whole new venture, thanks to the outstanding new moon next to lovely Venus in your money sector. The week of July 3rd will be your best bet. Neptune and Uranus will both be giving you a helping hand in the way of creativity and stark innovation throughout. Your greatest days for brainstorming, speaking and writing will be July 5th, 6th and 22nd. Advice for the parents of a Gemini child Gemini conjures the archetype of the ancient scribe and, in modern day, it’s the journalist who must get the whole truth and nothing but the truth. As the known communicators of the zodiac, Gemini kids usually love words and the interweaving of a great story. Word games and new reading material will always peak the interest of these bright kids. |
