You've had some dramatic changes in your career in February and March, and as a result, you may now be working hard to stabilize your income. Over the past weeks, you may have interviewed for a new position or worked on an entrepreneurial deal. Or, you may have no money-generating options on your desk as you begin July, but hope to find ways to in coming weeks. No matter what your aim - to switch incomes or add to an existing income - July will offer you all the right options to make money.
The new moon on July 2 will open the road toward a better financial future. Jupiter, planet of financial abundance, will partner with this new moon, an excellent sign of impending success. Venus will have a prominent position at this new moon too, another sure sign that you can create a stronger cash flow if you get cracking soon.
Finally, Uranus, planet of surprise, is in your house of career reputation, and will be friendly to this new moon as well. The mathematical degrees of the orbs of Uranus and the new moon will be wide (in astrology we prefer aspects to be tight), but nevertheless these degrees will be within certain tolerances. I feel you may benefit from a surprise job offer that would arise suddenly in the first two weeks.
The house that will be strongly lit up for you is the second house of income. With Uranus in your tenth house of career prestige receiving beams from this new moon, it's clear that your past efforts have brought you to this juncture. The harder and smarter you have worked in the past, the more you will benefit this month.
Venus' presence additionally suggests that you may sell a creative idea that nets you a tidy sum. Watch the types of conversations that come up during July 2-17. Follow up on any offers that you feel are intriguing, even if you're not sure they are what you want - you may like things more as you get closer to the details.
The vibrations a few days later, on July 6, will be especially wonderful. Venus and Uranus will be in close communication and in the end, these planets may help you see money. Give July 6 a plus or minus two days on either side of this date.
Another sterling day to negotiate for money or ask for a raise will be July 14, when the Sun and Uranus are beautifully angled. One VIP will be very impressed with your talents and experience, so it'll be a magical day for a meeting, interview, or presentation.
The full moon, July 18, will bring financial talks to culmination. This is a good full moon, and happily this one will be devoid of any detracting elements. It will light your eighth house of other people's money, so while you may have to pay out a hefty check at this time (or near it), you will also likely see money come in. You may get a commission check, economic stimulus check or other refund from the government, prize, gift, loan, scholarship, mortgage, bank loan, or infusion of venture capital, as a few examples. This is sure to be a big moment, and one chunk of cash seems destined to find you.
Aside from finances, your other big topic of conversation in July will likely center on your home. Mars is moving through Virgo in your real estate / property / home / family sector, giving you the impetus to get organized at home. Planets in Virgo may even go as far as to urge you to get things very clean. Of course, this is an option - not a dictate. If you have wanted to decrease clutter, here's your chance. Having good feng shui is so important. Change your home, change your life.
Saturn is spending a long time in this same area, your home sector, suggesting that from now to October 2009 next year you may consider doing some sort of renovation that would require demolition on a large or small level. You may add a room, or simply refresh the tiles in your bathroom. This month, with other planets touring home-oriented Cancer, would be a terrific time to look at model rooms to gather ideas and costs. Jupiter's position shows that you would have the money you need for the project, if not now, by year's end.
Saturn's position alternatively could point out a burdensome situation of some sort that is operating at home. You may wish you could sell your house and move into a new one but can't do so because you simply haven't had the right offers. If that's the case, your situation should improve dramatically by late October 2009, the date Saturn will finally move out of your house of home.
Saturn often requires very difficult decisions about the appropriation of resources. You may feel crowded into a small, dark apartment that you've outgrown, but are unable to easily find the right space. If this describes your situation, keep looking.
Still, you may see progress this month because Mars will pour a great deal of energy into this part of your chart (always helpful). Mars will remain here until August 16.
If you don't see any developments in that time, look to the new moon on August 30. The two weeks that follow could bring exciting developments. After that, look to late December 2008 when a large number of planets in Capricorn will bring good financial news, perhaps indicating you'll be selling or buying a house.
There will be one other day to watch for excellent news about money. Circle July 26, when you may get the green light to announce plans for upcoming changes in regard to your home or a family decision. Mars will be beautifully angled to Jupiter on July 26, so a project should bolt forward. You'll be so happy to be proceeding!
Let's change the subject for now, and look at other things going on in your chart. Mercury rules Gemini, so Mercury takes special care of you. Every month, it's important to check to see the type of discussions Mercury will make with other planets, for those conversations will have ramifications to you. Happily, Mercury will have a number of very positive communications and only one difficult one, so let's look at all of those now in chronological order.
July 5 could be a day when you need to watch what you say or write, for a slip could come back to bite you professionally. This day will be a Saturday, but some people do work on weekends. Fortunately, in the United States this day will be part of the Fourth of July weekend when most people will be on holiday. This same day may bring travel problems, however, so ask your mechanic to check to be sure that your car is in good working order before heading out.
On July 14, Mercury will signal Saturn in a very friendly way, creating a wonderful day to sign a contract or make a verbal commitment. Promises made on this day will be in effect a very long time, which, for many, will be a happy prospect.
The next day, July 15, will also be noteworthy, as Mercury will be in an angle to Mars that denotes "opportunity." Mars will be in your home sector, so you may be making plans to refurbish or redesign your home or to buy or sell property. All property, home, and family decisions will go well.
On July 22, your ruler Mercury will speak to Uranus, and could bring the most surprising, out-of-the-blue news possible about salary. If you are in talks that require that you be resourceful, on this day you will be on top of your game. This should be a zinger of a day! All news should be good news on this marvelous day for Gemini.
Romantically, things will perk up as soon as Venus enters Leo on July 12 (until August 5), and a bit more when the Sun joins Venus in Leo on July 22 (until August 22). Travel and romance will be powerfully linked in July, and thankfully, you need not go too far to take full advantage of this trend.
Although things are better after July 12, other aspects going on will help out. You can look forward to sweet nights for love on the following days: July 1, 5, 9, 14, 18-19, 24, 27, and 31.
If you don't see enough positive change in the romance department this month, just you wait. Mars will move into your true love sector on August 19 until October 4, marking the strongest romantic period you've seen in two years! That will be a dramatic phase!
Also next month, we have the year's two big eclipses - the total eclipse of the Sun on August 1 and the lunar eclipse (a full moon) on August 16. This means August will be chockfull of surprising news - it's a forecast you won't want to miss! I will post early to help you prepare!
The eclipses will be in Leo and Aquarius, and link to a trend that started February 6, the last eclipse in Aquarius. Generally these signs blend well with your sign, so stay optimistic. It looks like changes will work to your favor!
Summary
Money may have been tight lately, but if so, this month you can reverse things, dear Gemini, for you are about to enjoy a large influx of cash.
The new moon on July 2 will be just made for fattening your bank account, and the source of income you generate in the days that follow should be quite generous and comforting, for developments and offers will allow you to find the security you crave.
It will be imperative that you speak up for a raise in early July - this will be one of your best points of the year to get your due. If you have been interviewing for a new job, the subject of salary is sure to come up in early July - be ready to name your price.
Although you'll have until July 17 to complete your negotiation, the closer to July 2 that you speak up, the better. Additionally, July 6, 7, 14, and 22 will all be fabulous financial days when surprise developments will have you very excited about just how well you're doing!
Venus will orbit close to the new moon and Sun in your financial house indicating that you'll likely be amazed by the generous offer you receive.
When you're hot, you're hot, for at the full moon, July 18, even more money should flow your way. This time it won't be salary but rather money that arrives through other means and is not parceled out, but in one large check. Your house of "other people's money" will be lit up brilliantly, so the cash could arrive in the form of a lavish gift, inheritance, scholarship, prize, bonus, divorce settlement, insurance payment, or commission. Or, the funds may stem from a new mortgage, refinancing plan, or business line of credit.
Home could easily become a huge focus this month too, and if so, you'll be more likely to focus on your home's overall structure, needed repairs, and maintenance than on anything else. Questions of style and function could be addressed later if you like, but first things first. You also seem interested in reorganizing the space. You seem anxious to complete your plans, but Saturn's orbit near Mars suggests that you'll need to be content with a slow but very steady pace. Note that July 26 would be a perfect day for home-related activities, no matter what your aim - even a party.
Romance this month will be linked to travel close to home, so choose a town within a few hours drive - then pack and go. Bring your sweetheart, or if single, ask friends to make casual introductions. A summer house or a cottage in the country might be the wisest investment you ever made.
Venus will be in Leo from July 12 to August 5, indicating that a swanky party or gourmet picnic may be just the place to feel the zing of Cupid's arrow. Leo rules luxury, so there'll be something superbly special about the setting - your host will spare no expense. Sounds like fun, so be sure to pack a few new things to wear that make you feel sexy and special.
Give a party or plan a home fix-up project: July 26.
Ask for a raise: July 2-17, with best days, July 2-11.
Your career sparkles, and cash will come in, too: July 6, 7, 14, and 22
Home repairs, cleaning and maintenance will be strong: all month.
You can refurbish or tear out walls, renovate, too.
Buy a lotto ticket and think good thoughts: July 18 and 26

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!
