Use the month ahead to reflect and plan ahead
July feels like a month of taking it slow and taking the time to plan your next moves. The first place to start will be to clear out the cobwebs in your mindset. Hit the pause button to reflect on your thoughts and state of your emotions. Work on eradicating those negative thoughts about yourself and build up the energy and willpower to start on the right foot moving forward.
Next take a look at financial mistakes you have made as a result of your old mindset. It’s time to put things right. Turn missed opportunities into opportunities and create a spreadsheet of all your incomings and your outgoings. You will be accounting for every transaction from now on. No more mindless spending.
You work better as a team. It’s impossible to take on all the responsibilities yourself. This month you will learn the art of working together with a team be it at work or at home. There is a role for everyone and communication is key to getting the balance right in your team.
Once you have established the right mindset and your tribe, you have the right foundation to begin planning for the long-term. It might be a good thing to take into your emotions and how you feel about things when planning. It is not a weakness but a way to feel what is right for you. It is important to build a connection with your future plans so you can see things through to completion.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
The month ahead is about your relationship with money. Overcoming your scarce mentality will be the biggest hurdle who will have to work through this July. You have tried to fight this fear over and over. It has stopped you from enjoying things that you deserve in your life or even making crucial investment decisions. You could engage the help of a life coach, a therapist or a financial advisor to help you work through this.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It’s a month of deep reflection as you are about to let go of everything and everyone that doesn’t serve your purpose anymore. There is a major transition ahead. The focus is about pursuing personal projects and work that delivers personal fulfilment. You are on a journey to create more depth to your life purpose this month.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
There is a life changing decision to be made this month. You could be considering a change in your career direction or a change in your life path. Whatever decision you make this month will be leading you to a different life ahead. The decision will lay in your hands. It will be up to you to call the stops to bring you through this change. Expect to learn a new skill or start a new course. This change will most definitely put you in a better place in your life. But be prepared to be overwhelmed with this change too.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20)
You have to look at the big picture when faced with a multitude of options this month. Don’t be distracted by the shiny options, have your feet planted in the ground. You will have the support of your loved ones or your co-workers to help you along with that. Once you overcome your obstacles, success will be waiting for you. Get ready to celebrate towards the end of the month.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
The past few months have left you feeling depleted and low in energy this month. Your self-confidence might also be on rocky ground. This may be the result of a romantic or working relationship that has gone wrong. Exchanges have taken place that have got you questioning yourself, your capabilities and dignity. The right thing would be to talk this through with raw and open honesty but be mentally prepared for what will ensue. This will be a good opportunity to work on yourself and learn to be firm about what you stand for and what you believe in.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The month will start off rough but will feel calmer towards the end of the month. The challenges that you will face will make you feel disengaged and overwhelmed by life. But all it requires is a tweak of your approach and mindset to get through this difficult time. Don’t rush through your ideas. Your efforts will pay off and you will be overflowing with gratitude by the end of July for the experience you’ve just had.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may be limiting yourself and painting yourself into a corner with your negative thought patterns. Opportunities are around but you are not seeing them or choosing to delay acting on them. This boils down to your thought pattern of not deserving of nice things in your life. Work on the root cause of this thought and emotion this month and change it to a more positive one where you practise more self-care and self-love.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The task this month is to address your inner conflicts and struggles that are leaving you restless and unfocused. Because of this you find yourself holding back from achieving your personal goals. Slowing down might just be the key to overcoming this predicament and getting your life back on track. So stop, take a breath, clear your mind of all the unrest and allow new ideas to flow.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Others might be very envious of your achievements but it’s beginning to dawn on you that it’s not the path that is making you happy. You may have gone down this path out of necessity to provide or to become financially stable. But it’s time to be frank with yourself and it’s time to make a firm decision to seek what makes you fulfilled and happy.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You aren’t able to complete a project due to the lack of clarity on your options. Each time you try to move forward you find yourself pummelling backwards with obstacles after obstacles. You may need to manage your expectations. Step back for a moment to review the issues you are not facing and return to the drawing board and plan your strategy for completion again.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
A month of transformation lies ahead. You have spent enough time in contemplation and it’s time to eradicate those bad habits, even out your temperament and put your energy towards more constructive things in your life. You may consider giving up smoking and starting on a healthier diet and exercise regime for example. Or take up meditation to have more clarity in your mind and learn to manage stress in chaotic situations in your life.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You need to review your investments this month, be it an investment of time or money. Your methods may have worked in the past but you could be investing too much and not receiving a fair return for your efforts now. It’s time to think of new ways of growing your money and correct the imbalance you are facing with your investment and return.
