Welcome to the best, sweetest, and happiest month of the year. After a strenuous first half of 2014, you will love the change. Not only will Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, be prominent and astoundingly helpful to you, but the pace will pick up noticeably too. We had a parade of planets retrograde, holding us all back, something energetic Aries does not like to hear at all! First, Venus was retrograde, December 21, 2013 to January 30, 2014. Then Mercury went retrograde, February 7 to 28. Mars, your ruler, was next, March 1 to May 19, and then last month, Mercury was retrograde June 7 to July 1.
