In July you have money on your mind, and it appears you need to spend a lot either now or in the weeks ahead, possibly due to a lifestyle change. You may be moving, renovating, or investing in (or starting) your own business. Alternatively, you might be buying, renting, or selling property, or you could need extra cash to return to university to finish your undergraduate work or start graduate school. You might be going on an expensive trip of a lifetime, or you may be buying a diamond for the person you want to marry.
As this month opens, you have a perfect new moon on July 5 at 14 degrees Cancer, your second house of earned income. For most people, this lovely new moon’s influence might translate into salary, but it could also mean money for a fee related to a project you are doing. If you have your own business, a new moon in your second house, as you have now, usually portends that business will be brisk and that you will be working hard to keep up with all the customers or clients streaming through your door and clamoring for your goods, services, or ideas.
The July 5 new moon is an unusually cheerful one, so if you are looking to find a way to increase your income, this will be your best moment in 2024 to ask for a salary increase or find a new job that pays you more generously. If you are self-employed, you might consider gently raising your prices, or you may be determined to find a lucrative new client. You might also want to design a new product or service to place on the market.
You will see you have so many reasons to be encouraged and excited about how staunchly the universe is supporting you this month, which is why I am so optimistic about your chances to find ways to bring in more cash.
