Reach out to life with both hands, dear Cancer. It's birthday month, and a really positive new moon in Cancer will appear to help you make your wishes come true. The new moon will occur on July 2 and will help you materialize your greatest dreams. June was a month of fits and starts, but July will be strong and powerful for you. If you feel seized by a determination to launch anew idea, venture, job, or relationship - you name it - you will have the weight of the universe on your side.

If you were born on or within five days of July 2, double all that I just said - this month will be fantastically special for you! For you, this coming year will be filled with fresh starts, and those new beginnings will be exciting ones to boot. If you were not born near this date, you may have planets near 12 degrees Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio, and also do very well. Wait and see - you won't have to wait long.

All the aspects this new moon will make are positive, and that translates into luck for every Cancer, no matter what day you were born. Venus in Cancer will conjoin this new moon, indicating your charm and warmth will have a lot to do with your success this month, on all fronts, personally and at work. If you feel you could use a few new things to wear, or would like to try out a new look from the stylist or barber, do so early in the month, time between July 1 and 11.

It will partner with Jupiter, and this suggests you may be able to make money from a job assignment this month. It seems your good fortune is increased when working in tandem with a middleman, business partner, agent, spouse, lawyer, broker, or other collaborator.

You seem to be traveling a great deal this month too, but the trips may be arduous in some way. Even if you do not cover too many miles, you seem to feel pressure nevertheless. I am not sure if you are traveling for work, to complete family business, or to help a friend or relative, but you seem to have a definite goal in mind that will require a bit of planning before you go.

Mars will orbit near Saturn in your house of short distance travel, but this is an unusual pairing, with each planet exerting very opposite energies. Mars is always full of energy, fire, and light, while Saturn is slow, cold, and cautious. Mars is about passion and impulse, Saturn about responsibility and hard work. Saturn, being the slower moving planet, will overshadow Mars, so the effect will be a bit heavy.

Thankfully, Mercury rules your third house of quick travel, and for the most part, Mercury will be well angled to other planets. I will list the most important days, when Mercury will be most active. All are really positive except one, the first, falling on July 4-5. Mercury can help by adding a lighter shading to the overtones of Saturn, and more importantly, helping you succeed in what you set out to do this month.

The one difficult day would be July 4-5, when Mercury and Uranus will be at odds. This suggests that you'll have to be prepared for problems with transportation delays, or if driving, with possible engine or tire problems. If you do drive, make sure your car is working smoothly before you leave town. This aspect will peak very early on July 5.

Really upbeat, sensational days are due, namely July 14, when you can practically do no wrong. Your communication skills will be at an all time high, as will your ability to think on your feet. This comes thanks to a rare interaction between the Sun and Uranus, the planet of innovative ideas. Mercury will reach out to Saturn too on this day, so the bond you create with someone you see should be a strong one. If you do travel on July 14, you may travel much father away than you would earlier in July.

On July 15, the very next day, Mercury and Mars will interact, simply reinforcing all your efforts of the previous day. You can put ideas into action today, so go for it.

On July 22, amazing things can happen, thanks to a beautiful alignment between Mercury and Uranus. Allow for all kinds of lucky breaks today. Your quick mind and ability to come up with original ideas will allow you to shine brilliantly. If you need to put pen to paper, this is your day. Your mind will simply crackle with originality. You may travel unexpectedly today, and if so, you'll be flying to a distant city.

As you see, this month, although Saturn will hold your feet to the fire by making you do strenuous travel or to focus on a difficult business, creative writing, selling, or speaking / study venture, you seem to rise to the occasion, and doubly so on July 14, 15, and 22. The good news you generate on those days will keep your spirits and enthusiasm up, despite any odd obstacles that might pop up.

You may need to sign papers this month too, but before you do, you'll need to change the wording on a few clauses. On July 15, work on finding the right terminology and then offer several ideas to the other party. Keep communicating, even if you meet resistance, because accord is closer than you think. Your best day to sign those papers would be either July 15, or better yet, July 25 or 26.

A close relationship will be your whole focus on the full moon July 18. Within four days of this date, you'll see what a sparkling gem your partner has become to you. If you hope to become engaged for your birthday, or sign a partner in business at this time, you'll not hesitate, nor should you. The planetary vibes at this full moon will be marvelous, so go ahead - exchange promises within four days of this full moon.

If you are already attached to someone, you'll see how lucky you are to have this caring, giving person in your life. You may now move much closer to your partner at this time and be thinking very much about the future. Alternatively you may find that your partner - a steady sweetheart, spouse, or business partner / expert / collaborator - will go out of his or her way to help you, emotionally, financially, or spiritually. This outstanding gesture, done from the goodness of the heart or because your partner believes so deeply in you, will make an indelible impression on you and touch you deeply.

If you were born on July 18 or within four days of this date, you'll find so much of what you've done over the past few years will come to fruition, especially in terms of relationships, but in other areas, too. This full moon will be your big moment, and after this birthday month, you will take out a new leaf from your notebook and begin writing a whole new script in the years to come. It's all very exciting, and very positive, too!

Single? The full moon won't likely affect you too much, not unless you've been dating someone and feel ready to make a big decision about that person. In your case, the full moon might affect you more in a business way.

Still, you will have your time for romance. The lovely communication between Venus and Uranus could create the right romantic sparks on July 6, perhaps while on a trip. Look your best! You may become so surprised and flustered when you meet him / her this month that you may accidentally write down your wrong phone number or email address when asked - don't!

Later in the month, you may meet another intriguing person, whether a new co-worker or person who calls on your company to provide consulting or other services, most likely financial ones.

Best romantic evenings, whether you are single or attached will be: July 2-3, 11-12, 17-19, 22, 26, and 30.

Be sure to come back to read your forecast next month, as a major, total eclipse of the Sun will appear on August 1. Two weeks later, a full moon lunar eclipse, August 16, is due. Eclipses are some of the most dramatic, important events that the universe sends us in any given year. Both of these eclipses will light your financial houses, so your thoughts will center on money and you soon will see impending changes.

Don't fear this - your income could rise quite a bit as a result. One or both of these eclipses may end an old, outdated, or unprofitable source of income and helping you generate a whole new source of money. You may have started the process last month, but even if you didn't, August will bring you lots of twists and turns, and in the end you will be all the better for it. Be sure to read next month's forecast, which I will try to post early to help you get ready for all that's to come.

Summary

A sparkling birthday month awaits you, and it's the kind of month that could put back your faith in miracles and fairy tales. The excitement starts the moment the month begins, on the new moon in Cancer, July 2. That new moon will open doors for you, so be sure to voice your dearest desires to friends and colleagues, as others will certainly be listening and willing to do all they can to help you. Birthday month is always great for seeing one's aims come true, as the Sun is back in the place it occupied at birth. Venus will glide in Cancer too, giving you an extra fill up of social fun.

Venus will be in Cancer until July 12 so you might want to make it a point to go shopping during the first twelve days of July. You'll find madly flattering wardrobe pieces that will bring you more compliments than you've seen in ages.

Your partner will bring exciting news for you, too. Watch the full moon July 18 for news (plus or minus four days). You may exchange vows, promises, plans, or goals dear to your heart at this time.

You may also discover that you'll be traveling alone or with your partner near July 14 or 22, quite unexpectedly. If you have children and can't quite leave town, you'll have other opportunities to travel closer to home over the weekend of July 26. (And guess what? It's still great fun!)

Romantically, if attached, you'll have an enviable advantage. The tender full moon July 18 will be wildly romantic and rival your favorite moments of the silver screen. This full moon is for you! If you're attached, you may get engaged for your birthday over that weekend, or, if you are already part of an established relationship, your other half will be so darling, you'll fall in love all over again.

Single Cancers will do well too, for Venus will glide in your sign from July 1 to 11. If you hope to meet someone new, consider taking a short trip to a nearby seaside resort, for settings by the sea will relax and rejuvenate you. Besides, those settings will also engender feelings of love. The weekend of July 4-6 should be extra special.

You may also meet someone while doing an assignment at the office, whether a co-worker, supplier, client, or person you call on. Look your best!

Time to launch goals with a big push: July 2, plus two weeks

A relationship reaches an exciting culmination: Full moon, July 18

Change a contract: July 18, sign on July 25 or 26

Travel to nearby towns: all month

What's On My iPod: "The Virgins" Debut Album

I love my iPod and have lots of songs on it, along with my monthly Astrology Zone® forecasts. Did you know that you can get each month's forecast read to you as spoken word, by a real person, not a computer? Check it out! here:

http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/template/ext/landing.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&pac=AstrologyZone)

But well, that's not the real reason I am writing to you.

I have a very special new album on my iPod that I want to tell you about-The Virgins-that does have a connection to Astrology Zone®.

Rolling Stone magazine recently reviewed the album in the June 26, 2008 issue (#1055) and gave it four stars! Concerning one of the album's songs, "Love is Colder than Death" the reviewer wrote: "It rocks like the Strokes' best party tunes, but its jittery bass line captures all the anxiety of the morning after." Why am I mentioning The Virgins debut album? There's a very interesting story!

First, if you want to see the album on BN.com, here's the link:

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.asp?CTR=1317236&afsrc=1&lkid=J12871747&pubid=K118156

In June 2006, while my head of reader mail was on a two-week vacation, I had no one to read the daily incoming mail. We read every letter, and being that the Internet is like a continuous waterfall, it's important to keep up with daily correspondence. I was having difficulty finding temporary help with good communication skills. I needed someone who could write well, and also be someone who would really care about the readers' questions.

In desperation, I called Chrissie, my older daughter, for advice. She excitedly reported, "My friend Donald writes really well and could probably help you out for two weeks." "Who is Donald?" I asked, and Chrissie explained Donald Cummings was a good friend and a musician who could always use a bit of extra cash. Chrissie convinced me that he had the compassion and the fine skills I sought, so I said, Ok. I would be happy to give Donald a try.

Donald came by and I found him shy and very kind. I was pleased with his excellent communication skills as well as his tender attitude toward readers.

When the two weeks were over, I was sorry to see Donald go. "What is your passion, Donald?" "Music," he answered. "OK," I responded-"let's look at your horoscope. Would you like that?" His answer was an enthusiastic yes. Fortunately he knew his exact time of birth. He was born November 17, 1981 at 6:06 AM EST in New York City.

A double Scorpio (Scorpio with Scorpio rising), Donald's chart showed enormous talent. I was amazed to see that he had natal Jupiter conjunct Pluto, a rare and truly fantastic signature of success. I told Donald, "You must keep writing and composing your music. You have a FANTASTIC chance of hitting it big, and your first breakthrough will occur in nine months."

Usually when I hear that someone hopes to make it in the music industry, I advise taking side jobs to earn money while the talent awaits their big break. I didn't do that in Donald's case. I felt his Scorpio intensity would keep him on the right track and that he would hit the jackpot very soon. After all, Mick Jagger has that Jupiter / Pluto connection at birth like Donald, as does Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Washington, Abe Lincoln. This is a special aspect that only happens every 13 years, and when it does, it has to be within a few degrees to be useful. Donald has that, and much more.

Sure enough, Donald Cummings and his band mates, Nick, Wade and Eric as The Virgins, signed a contract with Atlantic records nine months later. After signing, it took a while for their debut album to come out, of course, but it just did-early last month, on the new moon June 3.. As mentioned earlier, Rolling Stone loved it, giving it four stars!

As I write this report, the band has already completed one tour of the USA (more are planned) and are in Paris, on their way to London, and they are due to do some really exciting TV here in the United States. Truly, they are on their way to bigness, although their manager, Nick Stern, says, "Of course, they have much hard work ahead of them." The TV show Gossip Girl has used five songs already in a recent episode, and more Virgins tunes will be in the fall episodes of Gossip Girl being shot now. One huge company known for music in their ads has The Virgins on their short list they are considering for their TV ads.

The Virgin's debut album, "The Virgins," hit the top 50 on iTunes in its first two weeks.

Their best sellers are "Rich Girls," "A Private Affair," "Love is Colder than Death," and "Hey, Hey, Girl." I also love "Radio Christiane"-a song written for Chrissie, my daughter. Chrissie helped the group by finding their first-class manager.

Some of the songs on this album are explicit, but there are TWO versions of this album in the CD (listed on the Barnes & Noble website), and one version is clean. You can make the choice. Astrology Zone® is a "G" rated, family site, so I don't want to lead you astray. This album is for grown-ups, not children and iTunes will label the album as explicit too, as most songs are these days.

I feel this album is special, and I hope you like it, too. On Barnes & Noble's site, the CD in a jewel case is $13.99 (less member's discount) plus tax and shipping. Click here to buy it:

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.asp?CTR=1317236&afsrc=1&lkid=J12871747&pubid=K118156

On iTunes, you can search for The Virgins and look for the jewel case cover icon seen here.

I am so happy for Donald, Wade, Nick and Eric. Congratulations! Lets see if Donald rises as high as I feel certain he will! The night before he was to go on tour he called me-we had not spoken for a couple of years, as he had been busy writing-and he was very excited but also a bit nervous. "What do you think?" he asked. I laughed-"What do I think? I think this is the start of fulfilling all the talent that your chart has promised, dear Donald!"

Little Mom Celebrates her 89th Birthday

Little Mom, my mother, who I love with all my heart, and who taught me all the astrology I know, celebrated her 89th birthday last month on June 15. We had a small dinner party at my apartment in her honor, and she had so much fun. If you recall, last year she was deathly ill and spent four months in the intensive care unit of the hospital. No one was sure if she would recover. She did-look at how wonderful she looks!

This is a big thank you to you, dear readers, for sending prayers and get well cards to my mother last year, and for your continuing notes to see how she is doing. Your good wishes and prayers worked miracles. She not only recovered but is doing just GREAT! Thank you!

GET ASTROLOGY ZONE PREMIER ON YOUR CELL PHONE!

EVERY DAY!

JUST TEXT "AZP" (standing for Astrology Zone Premier) to

75777.

For the cost of a latte at your favorite coffee bar once a month, you can have all the astrological information you need to stay ahead, every day of the year. In addition to the daily horoscopes I write, you will also get special text alerts to remind you of changing planetary trends. You will also get special articles that I write that won't appear anywhere else! We have indeed developed a truly unique service that we feel you'll love!

Simply put "AZP" in the message and subject line and text to 75777.

Every carrier works a little differently, so here are the instructions for you:

• Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile customers - when you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back with step-by-step instructions on how to download the application. Example, Verizon customers are told to go to "Get it Now", then "Tools on the Go", then "Mind, Body & Soul" and then select Astrology Zone Premier. So, Verizon customers will have to actually exit the Text Message and go back into the menu on their phone. This is something that you, as a Verizon customer, have to do to get any application so it's not a new process, and it's worth the effort!

• AT&T and Sprint customers - When you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back that includes a link to the application. It is a more direct process than the one outlined above.

Not all phones are equipped to take new technology, so check first with your provider. If you purchased a cell phone in the past year, chances are, your phone is ready.

Incidentally, I was told Blackberry was ready to roll, and that we are working on coding the iPhone now. It will be ready soon.

Every carrier sets their own rates, so they vary a bit, but most charge between $3.00 and $4.00 a month for my service-check to find out what Astrology Zone Premier would cost by calling your carrier. You can decide when you want your texts to come in too-you choose the time, say, the evening before!

I hope you will sign up and let me know how you like it!
