For those who contemplate major projects this summer, you will want to know Mercury goes retrograde next month on Aug. 21. However, it slows down by Aug. 7, so if you plan to buy a car, truck, bicycle or motorcycle, or open a business do it before August 7th. (This also applies to purchases of computers and phones.) Forewarned is forearmed! But hey, if you begin something before that date, then during Mercury retrograde (which is technically over on Sept. 13 but not truly over until Sept. 27 when Mercury catches up to the degree it was at when it first went retrograde), this Mercury retrograde period will be the perfect time to finish what you began! Good living is all about timing. To respect astrology is to use the rhythm method.
Your focus continues to be on home, family and domestic matters. This is a good thing because meanwhile, both Venus and Mars are co-operating to make you work very hard! Mars is your ruler and it not only rules your aggressive energy, it also rules your muscles. This week, the placement of Mars makes it easy for you to defer tomorrow's pleasures for today's duties and responsibilities. (I'm impressed.) You will take considerable pride in whatever you accomplish this month. Naturally, this continues to motivate you to do whatever you want to do! Take note: you're not a team player this week. You want to run your own show. (Fortunately, you're still taking time out for play, romance and vacations.) This is a strong week for you.
This is quite a lovely time for you because both Venus and Mars are in your fellow Earth Sign of Virgo. (This fits very nicely with your earthy Taurus Sun.) This is why you're so keen to party, flirt, slip away on vacations, enjoy the arts, participate in sporting events and, in general, have a delightful time, especially with children. This is a wonderfully lighthearted week. Some of your enthusiasm will spill over into redecorating at home. (You love beautiful things, and you love your home.) Nevertheless, the tempo of your days is fast and snappy because short trips, errands, and conversations with others (especially siblings) fill your schedule. (Gasp.)
Increased activity and chaos at home might be due to renovations, residential moves, visiting guests who are drinking all your booze, or some kind of project you have on the go. Naturally, this is likely to increase tension within the family or with housemates. Fortunately, you adore socializing right now. In fact, your gift of the gab is so well honed, many of you can make money writing, selling, marketing, acting or teaching this month. (Lord knows you're focused on your cash flow right now and looking for ways to boost your income.) Your best bet is to be patient with people at home. Don't get your belly in a rash. Your own peace of mind is worth far more!
You are still the employee of the month (until July 22) because the Sun is in your sign attracting opportunities and people to you. How sweet it is! This is why your communications with others are enthusiastic, persuasive and direct! You identify strongly with your ideas right now, and will be very quick to defend them. Keep this in mind if you think others are in your face. (Quite likely, they are just responding to you.) This is a good week for financial negotiations with business and commerce. It's even a good week to borrow money! Investments or purchases of art might increase in value. Enjoy buying goodies for yourself and loved ones. (Preferably wholesale.)
Until July 22, it is wise to wait in the wings and work behind the scenes as much as possible. Not until the Sun enters your sign on that day will you really take your power. Until then, look for ways to use your possessions to get things done. The current placement of Mars will help you do this. You can be extremely resourceful now! Many of you are contemplating big purchases. (You love to spend money because you see it as an exercise of your rights.) If you do buy something, you'll feel proud of it. Caution: Fiery Mars can make you go overboard spending money on ego trips, driving down My Road to get to I 5, then over to Leo Lane. Ah yes, thrills and chills on the nonstop ego trip!
Popular you! Everyone wants to see your face. Talk to people about your plans for the future to see if their feedback can help you. (This is likely the case.) Meanwhile, fiery Mars and fair Venus are both in Virgo right now. Va-va-va-voom! You've got energy to burn as you work to further your own interests and go after what you want. You're much more of a fighter than usual for your own rights and those of others. You've got lots of physical energy! (Do get extra exercise to blow off some of this pent-up steam.) Both these planets make you unusually sexy and attractive as well. This is a great week to buy nifty, hot wardrobe items.
There's no question more than a few of you are indulging in secret love affairs right now. (Is stolen fruit sweeter?) Others are not involved in love affairs but instead are doing something else extremely private or secretive. You prefer to work alone or behind the scenes, even though bosses, parents, VIPs and the police notice you more than usual right now. (Perhaps that's why you're working behind the scenes!) Life is taking a serious turn for many of you. You have increased responsibilities, and you see you're headed in a new direction. It's time to pull your act together before you take it on the road. (Oh yeah.)
This is quite a lovely time for your sign. For starters, you're very keen to travel, study, or expand your world in any way possible. Meeting people from other countries and different backgrounds will delight you. In addition, physical activity with groups - possibly sporting events or competitions - add extra interest to your life right now. Artistic friends are also a bonus. All social occasions are fun and fascinating. In fact, a friend could become a lover. This is a good time to initiate partnerships, both personal and professional. (You're entering an 18-month period where you will improve your job scene.)
Your ambition is aroused! You intend to work extremely hard right now because you want something. Since you're so hot to trot, you're better off working independently or being your own boss. If you can't do this, be careful you don't trigger conflicts with supervisors or co-workers because they feel threatened by your aggressive push to get ahead. (These people expect a little respect.) Therefore, choose your fights! Let a lot of issues slide unless something really important is at stake. Romance with a boss or someone older or richer might take place now. Quite likely, others will ask for your creative or artistic input about something. "We love it!"
You will adore travelling anywhere right now, especially travelling for pleasure. You're keen to expand your experience of the world, and to reach out for adventure, more knowledge, and anything that promotes your ability to learn, write, publish, or explore opportunities in higher education, medicine, and the law. You need to polish your skills and any current projects because success in these areas is imminent! Partnerships and close friendships are important this month. This is probably the best time all year for you to learn more about your style of relating to others. People are almost like a mirror for you to learn from. (Do take a look.)
Busy you! You're busting your buns to get better organized. You don't want to feel victimized by your possessions, you want to feel in charge! (After all, who owns this stuff anyway?) Give yourself the right tools and support material to really clean up things and get better organized. Buy shelving, file folders, cleaning equipment, paint, whatever it takes to whip things in shape. Actually, people will give you what you need right now because gifts, goodies, perks and advantages can come your way. Meanwhile, love is romantic, passionate and, in some cases, swooningly transcendent. Avoid disputes about shared possessions. Instead, enjoy what we used to call chesterfield rugby.
The stars still urge you to play! Vacations, flirtations, the arts, the theatre, and anything to do with sports, plus playful activities with children, continue to be number one on the hit charts for Pisces. Relations with co-workers and partners are surprisingly harmonious. Nevertheless, there will be moments of trouble in paradise because Mars is opposite your sign stirring up tension with partners and close friends. You don't want to give in or compromise on issues and either will anyone else! What's the point of that? Don't spend time licking your wounds. Instead, run away and have fun. Romantic adventure awaits you. For some, a new romance could begin at work. (Could get complicated.)
