July Pet Horoscopes

July 2009 Pet Horoscopes

Aries Pets (March 21 - April 19)
Aries pets are sure to pick up on the two big eclipses that take place this month. Around July 7, an eclipse of the Moon will increase your animal's tendency to establish superiority over others, particularly those who are small and fragile. If your dog, cat or other pet is an "Alpha" creature, you may need to monitor their behavior around the rest of the pack. On July 21, an eclipse of the Sun could incite fearful reactions to changes to their domestic scene, whether real or perceived. Extra petting, favorite foods and as much consistency as you can muster are just some of the ways you can cultivate courage.

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
The Taurus pet's acquisitive nature could become even more noticeable when Venus and Mars move into Taurus' 2nd House of Possessions. This is a time when your cat, dog or other cuddly creature becomes more attentive toward what he or she "has," from food to toys and even some of your things. Deter your cat from sitting on your printer by providing a catnip-laced blanket, and teach doggie that the remote control and other items in your living space are not necessarily chew toys. Gently declare your own territory, and don't be tempted to give in to boorish behavior.

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
Even though the rest of the world is feeling the lazy days of summer this July, your Gemini pet will continue to show off his or her pep and sparkle thanks to Uranus shining in their 10th House of Status. So, if you want to get time in your hammock or lawn chair, plan to either have your dog or cat running around you, or tire out your pet with a long walk or extended play session first. Your pet's nervous energy will come out more now, especially around July 7 when Mars adds more power to Uranus' "static." You can play soothing music, provide catnip or give a chew toy to help Gemini reach a calmer state.

Cancer Pets (June 21 - July 22)
Lavish your Cancer pet with lots of attention and more than a little quality time this July. With the Sun shining brightly in your furry darling's sign, plus Mercury spending most of the month in Cancer, too, self-involvement is going to be the thing that comes naturally. If you have to leave your pet for a short time while you go on a trip or you want to spend more time lazing in the Sun with other human beings, be sure that someone is around to pick up the pieces and distract your pet from spiraling into one of those moody periods Cancers are famous for.

Leo Pets (July 23 - August 22)
Your Leo pet might already be the center of your universe, but this month you'll find that even your most intense attention isn't quite "enough." You'll watch the drama unfold (yes, even more so than usual), as intense energies encourage him or her to be extremely physical early in July, then rather contemplative as the month comes to a close. Before you reach for the Prozac prescription or some other kind of mood stabilizer, consider the fact that two eclipses are enough to make anyone's brain go in at least two different directions. Pet and cuddle, cuddle and pet.

Virgo Pets (August 23 - September 22)
If your Virgo pet seems to need more encouragement than usual, remember that having Saturn in his or her sign can be somewhat of a burden. Although there's no reason to fear health problems or difficulties, it never hurts to make sure your pet is in perfect shape. A trip to the vet in pursuit of a clean bill of health will make this health-conscious creature feel better, anyway! You can also enhance your pet's vitality with healthy foods. Switch over to natural products that are designed to provide extra surges of raw physical energy, and avoid doling out too many rich, lethargy-producing treats.

Libra Pets (September 23 - October 22)
Territoriality could become an issue with your Libra pet as Pluto takes over his or her 2nd House of Domestic Assets this July. Use this to your advantage by proceeding with a little guard training, or introduce your cat to a new, safe and summer-friendly enclosure for relaxation in the warmer weather. This might not be the greatest time to introduce another pet into the household, obviously. With Pluto's powerful influences getting let loose, fur will fly! Even regular neighborhood playmates might not receive as warm a welcome as usual, because your cat or dog will initiate power struggles just to show everyone involved who rules the roost.

Scorpio Pets (October 23 - November 21)
Your Scorpio pet is the embodiment of sexiness, and this particular attribute is going to jump out at you this July. Mercury, the planet of communication, will inspire your companion to show off the sultriest side of his or her being. Whether it's schmoozing at the pet store or eyeing up others in the vet's waiting room, your animal is going to be on the prowl in more ways than one! Even when Scorpio pets are unable carry through on their intentions to mate, they'll enjoy an afternoon playing chase and fetch with an animal of the opposite gender.

Sagittarius Pets (November 22 - December 21)
Your Sagittarius pet is all about fun, and this month Venus is going to bring out the clown you love so much. This pleasure-loving planet will make doing things for fun almost irresistible. Introduce new toys or take your pet into a summery setting such as a quiet backyard or a private swimming pool. After June 9, expect more demands from your pet to spend time outdoors. It could be time to install that little door or spend more time at the dog park where your faithful cur can suck in some fresh air. It's just better to enjoy special things about warmer weather together.

Capricorn Pets (December 22 - January 19)
Jupiter's presence in the "spending" portion of your Capricorn pet's chart could affect your finances if you're not careful. Although cats and dogs can't use words to ask for life's little luxuries, they have other ways to open up your wallet. If you want to indulge your pet in something out of the ordinary, it would be good to at least check that what you're buying will add to his or her life. Instead of dropping dollars on fancy treats or some extravagant piece of clothing, consider a cat habitat or a leash that makes your dog feel more secure on walks. The satisfaction will last a lot longer.
