June is the month for a home renovation project, which could make it hard for you to get to your regular classes (and we know how you like certain things a certain way…). But do make the effort girls as with Mars, your ruler and the planet of vitality impacting your self-fulfillment zone, looking good and feeling great is your best revenge (against everything and everyone).
You’re in the mood to socialize in July with Venus, the Sun and Mercury enticing you out and about. You can always combine fitness and socializing of course, with a hard core spinning or workout class followed by a healthy lunch. Leos are great exercise partners in July btw.
Family continues to pay unexpected and extended visits in June, so that spare room renovation project you’ve put off forever needs attention ASAP. Being an earth sign you have quite the artistic flair once you get going. Walking and talking type exercise is perfect late June too – with Venus and the Sun in your communication zone.
Your desire to get out of town in July could have you taking a trip without your partner – with the kids or a group of like minded winter blues friends. If you are minus kids and hubby, opt for a holiday where you are forced to hike and bike and do something physical everyday. If the budget doesn’t allow for a holiday, switch up your work out schedule and try different classes with different teachers.
Your ruler Mercury remains out of phase in your sign through June 20. Expect ups and downs and miscommunications. Avoid refinancing or signing your life away until the end of June. Venus in your sign through June 19 entices you to work out even more than usual and have a makeover too (once again, when Mercury turns direct).
Luckily you have motivator Mars in your busy zone all through June. But don’t push anything or anyone – including you in class. Mars encourages hard sessions but also pulled muscles and sore abs.
July is make up month - a time to increase your workouts, up the ante on your ‘no sugar/no carb’ crusade and enjoy the cooler weather and walk it out. While you’re tempted to spend money on quick fixes (like fad diets), know that the best thing you can do is to exercise and eat everything in moderation.
The Sun in your self-renewal zone for most of June means that you are in need of an overall health assessment. Schedule routine medical, dental and eye check ups after Mercury turns direct June 20.
If you haven’t had your yearly gym overhaul, schedule it for around the Full Moon June 18 when you can hear constructive criticism and resolve to work with it. (Not sulk about it…)
Venus enters your sign June 19 – July 13 and you feel the need to ‘upgrade’ yourself. Plus its winter, so going lighter or updating your wardrobe is a real boost for you, mentally and physically.
July 2 a New Moon in your sign empowers you and you finally get the courage to say or do something you have wanted to do for some time. Mercury, the planet of logic lights up your sign July 11 – 27 and for those of you who always feel slightly dorky in class, you finally find your rhythm (and your feet)!
Passionista and motivator Mars in your sign through June forces you to work out, even if it’s the last thing you feel like doing. Luckily for you, Venus in your friendship zone through June 19 ensures that you will have people around you who are happy to meet at the gym. Admit it – you do need an audience girls!
July is more a month for you to meditate and get in tune with yourself mentally and spiritually than hard core boot camp type aerobics. The Sun, Mercury and Venus transit your self-renewal zone and you realize you’ve been pushing yourself (and maybe even others around you) why too hard of late. And the less you are exposed to other’s energy the better too – especially negative energy. Working out solo (running/walking/swimming) might suit.
Mercury retrograde through June 20 throws a spanner in your world – as you crave perfection and it’s not going to happen with your ruler out of action. You’ll crave time alone too with Mars in your self-renewal zone, so the gym and all those sweaty, grunting bodies might not be for you in June. Long walks, runs and DIY exercise is more your cuppa tea – plus letting your mind drift and not being so set on things happening in a certain order.
July is let go month and a chance for you to hire a personal trainer or get more involved in classes at the gym and trying out different things (like Pilates or kick boxing). Pampering yourself is also in your stars with Venus, the beauty advisor in your self-renewal zone. Make sleep a priority (even if it means a nana nap here and there) as well as weekly manicures and a facial and massage too (if you can squeeze it in).
New horizons beckon in June, with the New Moon June 3 in your long distance zone and a Full Moon in Sagittarius (your short journeys zone). If you can’t go anywhere, expect an influx of visitors instead.
The New and Full Moons also encourage you to look, listen and learn and for those of you who have always wanted to get certified (in something) this is your chance to start taking lessons and learning.
Venus your ruler shifts gears mid-July, moving into divaish Leo and your friendship zone. While you’re usually the one pacifying edgy friends, this month you might feel that someone has gone way too far. If she’s a work out buddy this is more difficult as you find ways to avoid her in class and at the gym. Maybe switch locations until the dust settles?
The first half of June is a tangle of missed appointments and unexpected delays due to Mercury out of phase while the second half of June is a mad dash for the finish line. All this interferes with your exercise routine, but do what you can to keep in shape – even if it means a late night work out to a DVD, or skipping rope in the backyard while the kids watch TV.
July is a much more social month for you and a time when you will be enjoying get togethers with friends and family (and probably eating and drinking more too). Once again as long as you can carve out 30 minutes a day for YOU and to do something physical, you’ll feel better. July is a great time to pick up a new hobby and/or learn something new too.
Pluto, the celestial body representing extremes and a devil may care attitude re-enters your sign June 13 – late November. Along with your Full Moon June 18, this is a month for you to make some decisions – big and small. If you let the Universe simply hand you what it will, you’re not going to like it. Mercury retrograding in your relationship zone could mean more stress at home and also with your friends and family. The gym is your stress release facility – use it and get the most out of your workouts by turning off your mobile and leaving your problems at the door of the gym.
If you need a vacation, July is the month to book something – make sure it has a gym attached so you don’t fall by the exercise wayside. It’s amazing how taking long hikes in unknown territory makes it all much more exciting!
You’ll feel pushed to the max in June, but that’s part and parcel of your goat nature. But with the Full Moon in your self-renewal zone June 18, take time out each day to relax and unwind, get a good night’s sleep and fuel your body with organic foods. That will help keep winter viruses at bay as well as making you realize that unless you are in tip-top condition, you’re not much use to anyone.
A New Moon July 2 in your relationship zone brings with it a great opportunity to meet a new work out buddy or hire a personal trainer you really connect with. July 18 a Full Moon in your sign has you brimming with confidence and boosting with optimism, contagious enthusiasm and a can-do attitude that will advance your aims and have you trying out new classes and exercises.
You tend to worry about things that may or may not happen rather than focus on all the things that are happening right in front of you, right now. That’s why there’s no point thinking about what you’ll look like in a bikini when winter is just getting started! Instead focus on all the good things you’ve got going on in June– with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and a New Moon June 3 shining on your self-fulfillment and happiness zone. Find ways to really enjoy your exercise – skiing, golfing, tennis and other workouts that make you smile.
The July 18 Full Moon shines on your ‘do-over’ zone and makes it a great time to shed a few kilos, change your haircolour or even just trying red lipstick instead of your usual pink could give you a sexier edge that makes you feel lighter.
With communicator Mercury retrograde in your fourth house of home and family through June 19, home is most likely going to be rife with silly misunderstandings and quarrels. Your best bet is to get out of there as much as you can! The gym offers you a comfort zone you sensitive souls need and you can finally get some ‘shower time’! Yoga and meditation also help to block out the family noise and angst going on around you.
July is the month to spend quality time with your family after a rough June. If you can get away for a long weekend and enjoy hikes and walks along the beach with your kids and partner, it will be a good way to reconnect and have a break from winter and the gym.
