Virgo (23rd Aug - 23rd Sep)
Your forecast for July 2010.
I normally record the monthly videos as late as possible to maximize current influences. Late last week, the man who makes the videos happen, Mr. Birthday Matcher, got diagnosed with kidney cancer, he's under the knife in a few days time. So this month's video's are shorter and not the normal. Please remember that essentially I am a one man band (with a little bit of valued help). Normal service resumed next month.

All manner of different planetary influences are around you this month, suggesting that you could easily be pulled in many different directions at the same time. Easiest way to manage this is to be discerning and selective of who and what you put your energy into, and in what order. Get sidetracked or fragmented by the different amount of things demanding your attention, you're lost. So hold your concentration, do one thing at a time, and don't be scared to finally cut your losses. If you clear your decks now then the future can come in without having to negotiate old worn out baggage, and you'll feel much more streamlined as well as effective.
Romance and Relationship
With both Mars and Venus in your sign over the majority of this month, you are, quite basically, hot. There's something disturbingly sultry about you, you can flutter your eyelids at almost anyone and get your won way, so be careful what you wish for lest it come true.... Seriously though, this is a time where you can make your desires and wants known to others in no unmistakeable way, and although there's sometimes a case for being diplomatic and shy, now is not the time. If you see something or someone that you want, go and get it/them. Best time of the year for romance.
Work and Money
At long last Saturn leaves your sign for the final time in nearly thirty years during July, so by the end of the month many of you will be able to give a big sigh of relief and let your shoulders go down just a little bit. The restrictions and limitations of recent times have been hard, but they've also had the effect of making you more focussed and streamlined in a way that improves time management and concentrates direction. The hardest thing now is not to get complacent, because Mercury moves into your sign at the end of July for ten weeks and communications will get sticky...
Health and Spirit
A combination of Mercury, Venus and Mars over this time suggests that the day by day pace of life is only going to increase, and that you'll need both your wits and your dancing shoes about you to take advantage of all the opportunities that are coming. There's fairly constant high energy output, there's the ability to remain focussed and concentrated, and there's the potential to be much more incisive and direct, hopefully without treading on too many people's toes. Not the best time to make long term plans, but certainly good for tying up a lot of loose ends.
Your forecast for 2010
here is your yearly summary
It's only those of you born after the 17th who still have to endure Saturn's attention, and even this will cease by the end of July. 2010 is generally a time of recharging and flexing the muscles, plus living with a new discipline by choice as opposed to having it forced upon you. The first half of the year can oscillate between being over the top and under par, undercutting and overreaching, and balance is the hardest thing to find. At the same time, the first half of 2010 is the best time to go for an unusual break or holiday and recharge your spiritual batteries that there's been for at least six years, so don't be scared to stretch a little bit. Pressure's off now, but that's not an excuse to go large.
Romance and Relationship
Most of June and July are very favourable times, with both Venus and Mars occupying your sign over these months. The middle ten days of July are especially favourable, you'll be able to switch on a degree of charm that is often hidden, and you should suddenly find that your popularity levels accelerate to a degree that is much to your liking. However, bide your time until July comes around, anything that develops should be welcomed but there's no sign of really positive chances evolving until then. The second half of the year is more active than the first.
Business and Finance
Much of the last two years has been a time of pruning, weeding and refining, making sure that those structures that are still left are working well. For all of you except those born after the 18th, this time is now over, and indeed many of you are in for a bumper year, with those of you born before the 16th potentially doing very well indeed in the first five months of the year. But are you wise enough to know when to stop? To be able to say enough is the mark of a wise person, so don't undercut yourself but neither deny yourself what is rightfully yours.
Health and Spirit
The Virgo full Moon on the 28th February is a sudden rise in tempo, and this could easily be a time of over-reaching yourself, indulgence and stretching yourself too thinly. A few of you, primarily those born after the 18th, are still under both pressure for both stability and the need for change, a combination of structure and surprise. The first six months of the year is a time for plugging away, with the pressure finally coming off at the end of July. From then on there are no new brakes holding you back, and you can safely move forward with a new confidence.
MERCURY spends ten weeks in your sign due to its retrograde nature. It moves forward from July 28 to August 21, then retrograde from August 22 to September 13, and then until October3rd it moves forward properly.
VENUS is in Virgo from 10th July to the 7th August.
MARS enters Virgo on June 7th and leaves on July 29th
JUPITER is going to really amplify things in your one to one relationships, and the first five months of 2010 could easily be both pleasurable and over the top. And those of you born after the 15th are really going to know about it from August onwards.
SATURN will continue to challenge those of you born after the 18th for another six months, but by August the pressure of the last thirty months is finally over.
URANUS is in the final year of a seven year cycle of bringing permanent and radical change into your life, particularly affecting those born on of after the 19th.
NEPTUNE isn't touching you in 2010
PLUTO is bringing an energy of renewal and revitalisation into your life during 2010, especially if you were born around the 25th-28th August. A chance to mature and improve on the situations started a couple of years ago, to start putting long term plans in place
