Astrology of July 9

The Sun is in Cancer, the Moon in Pisces, very near Neptune in its own sign, Pisces. A lucky day to dream and sleep late, maybe a nap, too, EXCEPT some pesky planets are calling you out of your reverie. (And your reverie time allows you time to process all the sensitive, perhaps psychic information that has come to you, so it definitely isn't wasted time.)

You may be grumbling to yourself - what has luck got to do with anything? You have some work to do....although you'd rather kick back. Jupiter is in Capricorn, opposing the Sun, so you see clearly what needs to be done, and whether or not you want to do it, there tends to be an element of duty. It's kind of like brushing your teeth. It isn't fun, but you dutifully do it in hopes that your teeth stay healthy.

And Mars is coming up to Chiron - what wounds do you carry that could use healing? Where do you hold healing for others? Lumps and bumps tend to show up now because we are in a time of reflection, not initiation, and we have to see imperfections so that we can correct them.

So, do the right thing just because it is right. This isn't the day to wrap yourself in solitude and leisure, but your ego can get stroked another day. Roll up those shirtsleeves. Capricorn will approve.
