July 2 Solar Eclipse: Horoscopes by Sign

Read your July 2 Solar Eclipse horoscope for your Vedic rising (preferentially, Sun or Moon sign.

ARIES

Action oriented Aries, the July 2 Solar Eclipse will bring energy and focus to the area of your life connected to your neighbors, close friends, siblings, short distance travels (think local or in the same country!) your ability to summon courage and how you communicate with others which includes writing.

Eclipses can sometimes bring some discord to the people and things in the zone of the birth chart where the eclipse happens. So if traveling a few days before the eclipse there may be some delays, or there could be some more challenging undercurrents when dealing with with close friends, neighbors or siblings.

The combination of Venus, Sun, Moon and Rahu in opposition to Saturn, Ketu and Pluto has the capacity to create some additional tension in the areas of life I mentioned earlier, especially a day or two before and after the time of the eclipse.

You may have already been feeling this difficult energy connected to siblings, short distance travels, your ability to summon courage and communication. This eclipse will place a stronger emphasis and possibly uncover some new insights or information around the issue or issues you experience.

Additionally, the intense energy of Rahu ruled Ardra nakshtra has the potential to add another layer of histrionics to the time period a few days before and a few days after the Solar Eclipse.

Key planets in air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius), such as your rising sign, chart ruler, Sun or Moon, combined with these planets in the 7-19 degree range of sidereal Gemini will definitely get triggered during this time. If you want to understand just how this eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse on July 16 can influence your life experience, schedule a consultation with Pamela.

TAURUS

Earthly and willful Taurus, the areas of life associated with your self-worth, people and things that you value, including financial stability, family of origin, and the food you eat are included in this Solar eclipse! And these subjects are normally at the top of the list for most Taureans, so understand they will be doubly important for you during this Solar Eclipse!

Eclipses tend to create some illusion and/or off-balance energies around the area of life that is signified in the birth chart where the eclipse occurs.

Add into the mix the influence of Ardra nakshatra and there is definitely an opportunity for you to revamp this area of your life! Arda carries a destructive energy, so you can capitalize on this to rid yourself of any habits associated with spending, family and food that you want to transform and create a more positive life experience!

GEMINI

Gemini, you have been on the receiving end of the lions share of planetary action lately! And the July 2 Solar eclipse is no exception.

Fortunately your chart ruler, Mercury, is now in sidereal Cancer and will not be involved on the axis of this Solar eclipse. That said, you will still feel this eclipse quite strongly.

This Solar eclipse (new Moon) is signaling the beginning of a new year long cycle for all Gemini's! Since the Gemini new Moon is also an eclipse, this starts off the twelve new and Full Moon phases for Gemini with a bang, and a clear sign that change is ahead. .

Since this eclipse is lighting up the house connected to YOU, there could be some significant personal transformation. Not to worry though, since the personal changes you might undergo have been in progress since Saturn began influencing Gemini in 2017, and has ramped up significantly within the last month.

Ardra nakshatra and the destructive nature of Ardra is also in play during this eclipse. Put this influence to good use; if there is something that you want to re-tool in your physical body, your mental or spiritual states, or all of the above, you can do so as soon as this eclipse has ended. I have outlined for you all the best ritual times in part one of this article.

The late July Lunar Eclipse will highlight your personal and business relationships, so this is an excellent time to get clear on your personal objectives before dealing with relationship issues that may arise in two weeks. More on this in my Lunar Eclipse forecast in mid-July!

CANCER

The Solar Eclipse theme for you, dear Cancer, is connected to the sub-conscious mind, your intuition, your sex life, secrets, various types of confinement like hospitals or jail, losses and planned loss such as philanthropy, foreign lands and spirituality.

These are the main themes of twelfth house of your birth chart, where the July 2 eclipse is happening. Quite a diverse range of influences!

Since the subconscious mind is getting activated strongly, the eclipse has the power to reveal memories that are long buried, pay close attention a few days before and after the Solar Eclipse on July 2.

If you journal your dreams or regularly connect with your intuition, be alert for messages that you receive around this time as they can contain important information for the next six months.

This is also an excellent time to connect to your spiritual path, give back to a cause that is important to you. Since the twelfth house is associated with loss, but can also be planned loss, such as philanthropy. If you aren't ready to commit to volunteering at your local hospital, you could tap into the destructive power of Ardra nakshatra (don't miss part one of this article about Ardra nakshatra influence on this eclipse!) and clear out your home or closet, finding items to donate to those in need.

Key planets in air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius), such as your rising sign, chart ruler, Sun or Moon, combined with any planets in the 7-19 degree range of sidereal Gemini will definitely get triggered during this time.

LEO

The July 2 eclipse will highlight the money you earn from your work, your relationship with older siblings and your broader network of friends and colleague. These, along with your dreams and aspirations could all be under scrutiny during this Solar eclipse.

You may have already been experiencing some issues or transformation regarding these areas of your life, since Saturn, Pluto, Rahu and Ketu and Mars have been influencing this house for a few months now. The eclipse could be the icing on the cake!

Out of each of these areas of life, your social circle may be the most significantly influenced due to the eclipse occurring within Ardra nakshatra. Lately, you may have been feeling as if you aren't fitting in with your larger group of acquaintances,, and this eclipse could amplify this awareness.

The flip side is that energy of Ardra nakshatra can help one gain control over the mind. Once the eclipse has passed, confusion and veils over the mind will lift. Best to wait until after the eclipse to make important decisions around the people in these areas of life.

Eclipses are known to be extremely hard to predict. Often times they will obscure an issue and other times they can release information from the shadows. Either way, you can determine which areas of your life might need some attention and weeding out and replaced with new objectives, or stronger relationships: older siblings, money from career, networks or your dreams and goals in life. Whatever is standing in the way, contemplate this during the eclipse (timing is in part one of this article). Then once the Moon shifts to waning, you can put your plans into action!

VIRGO

The most energized house in your horoscope is being triggered by the Solar eclipse!

The tenth house, where the eclipse is occurring for you Virgo, is the most influential in the birth chart. It is associated with name and fame, or what you are known for in this lifetime. Where you work, your reputation at work and your authority there. Also your karma, with a capital K!

Issues in one or more of these areas of life may have arisen over the past few months, since the planetary mash-up of Saturn, Pluto, Rahu/Ketu, Sun, Mars and Mercury have been involved in this zone of your birth chart. The July 2 Solar Eclipse is essentially an exclamation mark to punctuate the pile up of other planets and the need to address the areas of life related to your tenth house.

Because Ardra nakshtra is activated during the eclipse, you may feel that things are unclear for you in these important parts of your life. Often times the eclipse can veil the mind and create confusion an/or illusions a few days before and after. Take time to meditate or at least contemplate on this and see what comes up for you in the days after the eclipse.

Take action to eliminate what no longer serves you once the Moon has shifted into the waxing phase (see part one for dates an times). It will be an excellent time for clearing and for endings. But not a good time for new beginnings until we get out of the eclipse patterns in late July.

LIBRA

Heads up! Libras all-important ruler, Venus, the planet of love, beauty, romance and creativity, will be present in Gemini during the Solar Eclipse!

The Solar Eclipse occurs in the area of your chart related to legal contracts, father and teachers, your spiritual or religious path, higher education, foreign lands, and philosophy. Whew!

If anything arises in these parts of your life a few days before or a few days after the Solar Eclipse, do pay close attention! While this is a Solar Eclipse, it is also the only new Moon that will occur in this zone of your birth chart for the next twelve months. New Moons are usually great for beginnings, but in this case, that is not true!

The nakshatra Ardra supports transformation and destruction. Particularly as it connects to the mind. Since the eclipse will activate the other air signs, Libra and Aquarius and the house associated with the mind (fifth house), this will be a splendid time to contemplate and then eliminate thought patterns and/or activities that are not supporting joy in your life!

Take action to eliminate what no longer serves you once the Moon has shifted into the waxing phase (see part one for dates and times). It will be an excellent time for clearing and for endings. But not a good time for new beginnings until we get out of the eclipse patterns in late July.

Scorpio

Mars, the ruler of mystery-loving Scorpio, is finally our of the eclipse path! You can breath a bit easier now that action-oriented Mars is in watery Cancer and no longer opposing sombre Saturn, headless Ketu and plotting Pluto!

This is not to say that the eclipse cannot have some influence on your life experience though. All eclipses have the potential. The July 2 Solar eclipse is however right up your alley, transformative Scorpio! It is occurs in the house of your horoscope most connected to the metaphysical and occult, your partners wealth, research, longevity and taxes. Not at all light subjects, but as I said earlier, they meet your taste!

Anyone with key planets (Sun, Moon or chart ruler) in 25-30 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or any of the fire signs (Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius) OR those who are in the planetary period or any sub-period of Sun or Moon can experience this eclipse energy more intensely! Particularly those with Moon in Uttara Ashadha nakshatras!

Sagittarius

The July 2 Solar eclipse and July 16 Lunar eclipse are both significant for you adventurous Sagittarius!

For now, we will address the Solar eclipse. This eclipse has the potential to influence your partnership. Primarily personal relationships, but also business.

You may have already been feeling the intense planetary influences for at least of few weeks, since there has been a planetary pile-up of epic proportions on the Sagittarius/Gemini axis!

In this case your partner may be undergoing some personal transformation. Be patient and compassionate toward your partner during this eclipse season. They may be experiencing a difficult time. Since the Solar eclipse occurs within the nakshatra of Ardra, the may be howling at the Moon like a wolf!

If you are currently not in a partnership this is the perfect time to go inward and contemplate what no longer serves you in a future relationship.

Take action to eliminate what does not fulfill you within relationship once the Moon has shifted into the waxing phase (see part one for dates and times). It will be an excellent time for clearing and for endings. But not a good time for new beginnings until we get out of the eclipse patterns in late July.

Capricorn

Capricorn's ruler, Saturn, is moving retrograde and is opposite the July 2 Solar Eclipse! Simultaneously, practical Saturn will be almost exactly conjunct detached Ketu at the time of the eclipse. For these reasons, you may experience the Solar and Lunar Eclipses more strongly than other zodiac signs.

The area of your birth chart that the eclipse is focusing its energy is your daily schedule, being of service to others (work), healing and disease, debts and any animals you have in your furry family.

Since the latest planetary pile-up on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis has been active for a few weeks already, you may have been feeling this for a while. One or more of the areas of life I mentioned earlier may continue be under your review through early July..

Aquarius

The co-rulers of individualistic and humanitarian oriented Aquarius, traditional Saturn and headless Ketu are almost exactly conjunct each other during this eclipse!

Combined with the energy of Ardra nakshatra , you will want to think and choose carefully before considering any major life changes around the eclipse time! And since this is all occurring in the house that symbolizes your psyche, there may be confusion and/or delusion to wade through the few days before and after the July 2 eclipse.

Especially as it relates to your mental state, creativity and children! You are being called to make some transformative choices in these areas of your life. Sometimes eclipses will obscure the facts and other times they will uncover a deeply held secret, thought or belief. One never knows with eclipses which it might be!

Pisces

What's been coming up for you lately around emotions, home or your relationship with your mother, sensitive Pisces?

The first eclipse will place focus on your happiness. The second eclipse mid-July will shine the light upon your work. Your work-life balance has been up for debate for the past few months with the planetary pile-up on the axis of home and career. These two eclipses will help sort things out! During eclipses, sometimes events occur that solve things for us, sometimes we have more of a choice.

Take action to eliminate what no longer serves you and your personal happiness once the Moon has shifted into the waxing phase (see part one for dates an times). It will be an excellent time for clearing and for endings. But not a good time for new beginnings until we get out of the eclipse patterns in late July.
