July 17th is a date of strange things, individualism and stress. It isn’t expected to see this much energy with the Sun in Cancer and expectations of family and close friends might be rough on nerves of those born at this time. This is a date of change, connecting, and higher philosophies, where past is freed from in order for the new Sun to rise.
July 17th Horoscope
The stress in the row of people born on July 17th is quite obvious and typically won’t be avoided until their individualistic needs are met. Their youth can be stressful or even traumatic, leading them to personal liberation and high strivings as they grow older. This is a strange time to be born in, when no structure can hold one back, and the personality wishes to emerge just as it is, special and unique, through the right social circles and norms that are in no way standard or common.
With a clear need to express their truth, each person born at this time has to feel the need of the group and still act in their own way, with respect for their true Self. A challenge in its own, gaining freedom from certain groups and possibly their family becomes a turning point in their life, where they take responsibility for the person they wish to become and start following the dream.
Love and Emotions
With love being their point of inspiration and their main goal in life, those born on July 17th tend to put their whole heart into any relationship they form. However, ego battles and forces that tear them apart are typically strong and won’t let love prevail until they learn what they deserve and who they really are. Breakups and stressful circumstances are to be expected, as well as all unusual relationships that might not be well-accepted in their surroundings. Setting free from prejudice, they will choose partners that go ahead of their time, and sometimes end up with those who don’t really see their core from their own projections and insecurities.
To be truly intimate and choose monogamy, they need someone productive and grounded, but able to give them a relationship filled with friendship, communication and freedom. In order to express their inner needs, they are to talk about each issue that comes into their mind and baggage, stress and difficulties of the heart should never be off topic. Once they build up to recognize their true character's strengths, they will find someone as individualistic and special as they are to stay surprised, excited and happy.
