    Astrology Forecast-July 2015

    1 Aries - 21 Mar to 20 Apr: VII The Chariot

    Work/Career

    Some small hiccups may occur at the workplace that might stifle creativity and productivity just a bit.

    The main reason is due to Venus retrograding in your house of work. This will likely have the result of

    you being dissatisfied with your job at times, and these feelings and issues will be most prominent in

    the latter half of July. But don't get too concerned: Next month Jupiter transitions into this same house

    and remains there for the rest of the year and beyond, nullifying these problems and blessing your work

    life with luck and fortune. If you can hold out a couple weeks in July, you'll be just fine for the rest of

    2015.

    Single

    Dating and meeting new people won't play much of a part in July, thanks mostly in part to Mars ruling

    the area of home and family. You'll be more focused on siblings, parents, and so forth. Events may

    occur that will require you to spend more time at home or with your loved ones rather than out on the

    town. In other months this might cause you to feel anxious and annoyed with your kin, but in July

    you'll be more agreeable than usual to these necessities.

    In Love

  • If you have a spouse and/or children, much of the month will revolve around them, and domestic issues

    will be the order of the day throughout July. You'll enjoy yourself more around your kids or wife or

    husband, and there is also the possibility of extended families coming into play. You may get a visit

    from the mother-in-law, or one of your parents may factor into your life for the month in some capacity.

    Luckily, this shouldn't cause friction between you and your partner, and may instead provide some

    much needed assistance in home affairs.

    Finances

    Try to spend a bit less in all areas of your life this month, because there is the great possibility in July

    of having to spend money on home repairs of some sort. Interestingly enough, because of Mars'

    influence, the chances are high that this expenditure will come from your own volition. You'll look at

    that tarnished roof or decrepit bathroom and decide that this is the month to start sprucing up the place.

    DIY projects are a good possibility, but whatever the case, you'll want to have a comfortable bit of

    money set aside for just such a project.

    Health

    Skin issues may creep up this month, and any Aries who is predisposed to dry skin may suffer the worst

    of it. But luckily this is a pretty minor problem as far as health issues go. A bit of lotion or cream may

    be all that is needed. If you've had a history of acne breakouts, you may have to deal with a blemish or

    two, but some extra preventative action on your part can help to avoid anything too major. Dandruff is

    also a distinct possibility, but again these issues are small potatoes compared to what many people go

    through every day.

    2 Taurus - 20 Apr to 21 May: Queen of Cups

    Work/Career

    This month continues the trend of productivity and growth at the workplace, and in some ways July is

    even better than June, thanks to the fact that there is no Mercury retrograde interfering with your profits

    this month. Saturn will be given free reign to release his final blessings upon you (after teaching you

    some tough lessons in the last year, of course) before he moves on from your eighth house altogether. If

    this was any other sign, we'd warn you not to squander this blessed period, but we know that Taurus is

    the kind of sign that appreciates and respects good fortune in work. As such, all we have to say is enjoy

    your boon, Taurus.

  • Single

    This month you'll be more attracted to people who you feel you can connect with on a deeper level. The

    idea of fleeting romance and immediate physical attraction won't mean much to you, not compared to

    the more desirable notion of a true intimate pairing. You'll be more receptive emotionally during this

    time, and you'll conversely be able to pick up on the emotions of others. Our advice? Act on it, Taurus:

    If you feel a connection to somebody, try talking to them even if they don't at first seem like your

    type. This is the start of a phase of growth for you that revolves around relationships and love, and by this time next year you'll have a much better grasp of what love means.

    In Love

    One of the biggest issues that those in a relationship with Taurus have with your sign is that you are far

    too often closed off emotionally. It's hard for you to emote and express your true feelings; But starting around now and continuing for quite some time to come, you'll begin to learn how to talk

    openly and honestly about your emotions. This is the beginning of a great period of growth for you, and

    if you're already in a relationship, you stand a good chance of fostering that relationship into something

    deeper and more meaningful than you've ever experienced. Keep it going, Taurus: Things are going to

    get even better for you as the months go on.

    Finances

    Things will brighten up for you in finance-related matters this July as well, Taurus, which is another

    thing to look forward to. The Mercury retrograde in your house of money is fully in the rearview now,

    and the machinations of Saturn are ensuring that money troubles (and more glaringly, stresses related to

    money) aren't as overwhelming as they've been in past months and the last year as a whole. This is a

    great time to start considering some investments, if you're so inclined, although storing away a tidy nest

    egg is also a good idea, providing you're setting up something that can help you accrue money rather

    than letting it stagnate.

    Health

    While Saturn is generally kind when he leaves a sign (almost as an apology for his sometimes harsh

    treatment during the midst of a run), there are times when his residual effect can still produce some

    negativity. In this respect, you may have a bit more worry and stress during this month, and you also

    can be a bit less practical, due to the fact that Saturn is opposing your sign at this time. But if you look

    at the other sections for your sign this month, you can see that things are in fact going relatively well.

    Keep that in mind if you start feeling stressed or timid, and it should help you to realize that your woes

    are somewhat unfounded.

  • 3 Gemini - 21 May to 20 Jun: II The High Priestess

    Work/Career

    Saturn will remain in your sixth house this month, but he isn't likely to cause the kind of trouble that he

    might have brought to you in June. After all, he's in the process of moving on himself and he's all but

    spent the lessons that he has been instilling in you in the past year. This month should proceed more

    smoothly than last, although don't get your hopes up about any promotions or raises. July will largely

    be business as usual. Still, though, that's better than many possible alternatives.

    Single

    Geminis stand a good chance of meeting an interesting potential mate this month from a relatively

    unlikely source: Keep tabs on your acquaintances this month, because it's quite possible that this

    possible lover will come in the guise of a friend of a friend. More likely, this person won't be especially close with your friend, but will be on friendly terms. As such, there will only be the slightest

    of introductions between the two of you, but this will allow you to ask more questions about one

    another and keep the conversation going.

    In Love

    While things are going well for you and your partner this month, there will nevertheless be thoughts

    running through your head relating to relationships past and the days that used to be. You'll reflect on

    old boyfriends or girlfriends, muse upon the one that got away, and so forth. This doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be craving an old lover or feel dissatisfied with your current squeeze. Rather, you're in

    a state where you're looking back at past actions and mistakes. This is really a good thing, because

    2015 has in many ways been a process of ridding yourself of baggage and cutting yourself loose from

    memories and habits that have held you back. Keep it going, Gemini.

    Finances

    Your luck and fortune in regards to finances will continue, thanks to Mars still being in your house of

    money. You'll find ways to earn extra income on the side, possibly from selling off old possessions or

    finding a part time job that you actually enjoy. Mars will remain with you throughout all of July and

    into the middle of August, so this is a great time to stow away your extra earnings and treat yourself to

    something nice, providing it isn't too pricey, lest you squander all the good fortune that Mars has

    bestowed on you.

    Health

    You'll be less inclined to follow any strict diet regimen this month, which could lead to weight gain if

    you don't restrain yourself. Also, your workout routine might lapse a bit as you feel less motivation to

    maintain physical fitness. On the one hand, a good diet and regular exercise are absolutely essential to a

    healthy body. But we also understand that everybody needs to take a break now and then from their

    workout. Since your sign is typically pretty high-energy and respects fitness, we'll give you the benefit

    of the doubt, but if you start becoming too sedentary, you may want to take a long, hard look in the

  • mirror and consider stepping back into the gym.

    4 Cancer - 21 Jun to 20 Jul: Nine of Pentacles

    Work/Career

    At this time, with Saturn fully backtracked into your fifth house, you'll start to think about other forms

    of employment, and how much more satisfying they would be than your current occupation. Most of

    these jobs that you'll prefer doing will relate to entertainment, play, and overall enjoyment. A career in

    the arts, in gaming, and so forth. This may make your gig seem more boring by comparison, but don't

    make any rash decisions, such as quitting your job and becoming a roadie for a rock band. This yen for

    a more entertaining job will dissipate as Saturn returns to his normal path, and you'll begin to

    experience the same satisfaction you typically feel with your job.

    Single

    This is a great month for Cancer to start a new love. Why may that be, you ask? Well, in the last couple

    years, Saturn has been in Sagittarius, but he'll soon be moving on from the sign. During this time,

    you've been instilled by his wisdom in regards to relationships, and you've slowly learned how to rid

    yourself of emotional baggage and bad memories related to love. And when Saturn leaves a sign, he

    often is less harsh and more beneficial, more like Jupiter. Put simply, now that you're free of much of

    the relationship woes you experienced before and Saturn is finally in your corner in a helpful way, the

    groundwork is laid for you to truly make a go of it with a fresh relationship.

    In Love

    The desire to experience new things will be strong with you this month, which may come as a surprise

    to your partner. After all, Cancer is a sign that tends to prefer the creature comforts that you're used to.

    But since your partner may sometimes feel stifled with your desire to avoid new experiences, they may

    relish this turning of a new leaf with you, whereas other signs could potentially be annoyed. Aquarius

    and Aries, for example, often irritate their partners to no end with their constant shifting of interests. So

    all in all, this month could provide some exciting changes for you and your lover, all of which are

    poised to be positive.

    Finances

    Next month (and part of September) will bring some difficulties in the way of money. You may have

    noticed that your sign has largely escaped some of the financial woes that other signs in the Zodiac

    have had to deal with in 2015. It's true that Cancer is pretty lucky this year as far as money goes, and

    August to early September will be the only truly tough part of the year regarding your savings and

  • income. And even then it won't be so bad, all things considered. But that being said, we recommend

    that you tighten the purse strings this month, in order to avoid the worst that August may bring you.

    Stow away a little money and you just may make it through the upcoming Venus retrograde with very

    little trouble.

    Health

    This month you'll be more interested in the general idea of health. You'll enjoy reading books that help

    you learn how to be healthier, and you'll make an active effort to try to eat better. You may even

    increase the amount of exercise you perform, all of which will go a long way to helping your body.

    Some of this may have to do with the fact that around this time Cancer will have a birthday. You're a

    year older now, and a year closer to death. But all the same, it doesn't matter why you decide to get

    healthier, as long as you do it. And for that we commend you, Cancer.

    5 Leo - 21 Jul to 21 Aug: IX The Hermit

    Work/Career

    This month we recommend you pay extra attention to your work when signing off on documents,

    checking the last details, surveying the job site, or whatever your vocation entails. You stand the chance

    of making small errors that could potentially lead to bigger problems. Double check everything that

    comes your way and check it again before you leave it. By the time August rolls around you should see

    a return to normalcy, but until then you'll want to add some extra focus to whatever you're doing, lest

    you incur the wrath of your superiors over a bungled task.

    Single

    Your optimism may wane a bit as Jupiter prepares to leave your sign head on to new horizons, taking

    with him some of the good cheer that he had bestowed on you earlier in the year. During this time you

    also may have a bit less confidence in the dating sphere, causing you to avoid acting on impulse,

    something that is almost a necessity when it comes to chatting up a new stranger. This is a shame,

    because July can indeed be a good month for sparking a new flame, but you'll view these opportunities

    more pessimistically, which may lead to you missing out on some truly great romantic experiences.

    In Love

    Thanks to Saturn nearing his end in Scorpio, there is the great chance that this month will bring with it

    plenty of improved relationships between you and your loved ones. For those of you who are married

    and are intimately involved with your respective in-laws, this is a great boon. Your wife or husband are

  • happiest when they get along in all regards with their family, and that makes you happy. And your

    partner will also experience your residual easing in regards to your kin, which will make things easier

    and more friendly for everybody.

    Finances

    It's been a series of ups and downs for Leo as far as finances go, but there is a very bright light at the

    end of the tunnel. And a big one too. Yes, we're talking about Jupiter, who is very near to entering your

    second house, which rules such things as net worth, assets, and other money-related matters. Next

    month you'll start to see better luck in this area, and since Jupiter is happiest when he's bestowing good

    fortune on his subjects, you can expect this trend to continue throughout 2015. All you have to do now,

    Leo, is wait for the dough to start rolling in.

    Health

    This month you'll want to be very careful and aware of any issues related to the heart. Each astrological

    sign rules a certain part of the body, and your sign happens to rule this organ, which is easily the most

    important body part of all. You'll want to avoid any excess stress and, though we rarely say this, you

    may also wish to cut back on any intense cardiovascular exercise. This would also be a great time to cut

    back on fried foods, fat, and other things that can clog the arteries supplying blood to this indispensable

    muscle. We're not saying that you'll have a heart attack this month, because you most likely won't. But

    you will be more aware of the machinations going on in your heart, and this is the perfect time to start

    treating it with more care.

    6 Virgo - 22 Aug to 22 Sept: Two of Wands

    Work/Career

    Overall, July is a return to form for Virgo as far as work is concerned. Under normal circumstances,

    this would be a month in which you would feel a bit drained and lethargic, after the high that Mars

    brought you when he was in your house of careers last month. But the Mercury retrograde in that same

    house all but negated Mars' beneficial effect, and in truth July is a much more stable, secure month as

    far as your career is concerned. The best part is that things will get better as we head on through the

    second half of 2015, meaning you're right where you want to be right now.

    Single

  • During this time you'll admire someone who can communicate more than someone who has the more

    traditionally desirous attributes that make us take notice in a romantic way. In other words, you won't

    be immediately drawn to the big muscles or large bust of that person sitting across the bar. Nor will you

    be attracted to someone for their face or fashion sense. No, communication is key this month, and

    you'll fall in love through the ears rather than the eyes, if indeed you fall in love. Some of this has to do

    with Saturn backtracking into your third house, which rules communication, but whatever the case, this

    is a good reminder for you that it isn't just looks that matter.

    In Love

    In the same way that single Virgos will be focused more on communication rather than physicality,

    Virgos in a relationship will require from their partners some level of interpersonal discourse more than

    they'll need any kind of physical satisfaction. This is a great period in which to spend the nights talking

    and reconnecting with your lover. And don't worry, the physical part will definitely be there as well, it's

    just that you'll remember that it isn't the only reason that two people decide to spend their lives

    together.

    Finances

    The next couple months will bring some changes to your financial situation. Some of these will be

    positive, while others will be negative. Don't become too concerned the greater trend for you will result in higher earnings and more financial stability. It's just that the rest of the Summer will bring

    small pockets of difficulty in this regard. Your best bet, then, is to stow away a bit of money this month

    so that you can negate the better part of these difficulties, rendering them harmless. Try to cut back on

    your spending here in July, and it'll be like the upcoming Mercury retrograde never happened.

    Health

    This month you'll have an enhanced craving for salty foods, and while it isn't a bad thing in and of itself

    to enjoy a snack every now and then, sodium is something you don't want too much of. And, sadly,

    industrialized societies put way too much sodium in their supermarket options. Virgos with heart issues

    are doubly warned against overdoing the salt. Also those with kidney issues should try to limit the

    intake of sodium. Salt is okay in moderation, and luckily your sign is good at self-discipline. This is

    definitely a month where we'd like to see that self-discipline reign supreme, for your benefit.

    7 Libra - 23 Sept to 22 Oct: Eight of Wands

    Work/Career

  • As promised, the good fortune continues for Libra in regards to your work life. Mars is still in your

    house of Careers, helping you to exude more confidence in your job and giving you the extra energy

    needed to keep performing at the top of your game. You're more focused on your goals and you have a

    clearer idea of what you need to do to move ahead. Your ambitions are higher, and nobody can stand in

    your way for long. Make sure to make the most of this influence of Mars, Libra, and you'll be sitting

    pretty for the rest of the year.

    Single

    The name of the game this month is ambition. Though 2015 has been rather kind to Libra, there have

    been moments where your confidence hasn't been as high as it could be as far as love and romance are

    concerned. But this month single Libras will be instilled with more drive and dedication toward finding

    that perfect someone. You won't settle for second-best, you know that you deserve someone who you

    can truly connect with on a physical, emotional, and mental level. And we agree that you deserve it too,

    Libra.

    In Love

    Many female Libras will start to feel the urge to have children during this period. Note that we said

    many, though. There are quite a few Libras out there for whom the idea of child-rearing will not creep up at all. This includes those Libras that are single, or those that already have a child or two.

    Married Libras (and those who have been cohabiting with their partners for years), however, will be

    much more likely to feel those feminine urges calling out to them. Whether you decide to do anything

    with those urges, though, is up to you.

    Finances

    The high ambition that you've been exhibiting in certain parts of your life will also show up in the

    realm of finances, although at a slightly lower level. You won't exactly be dedicated to learning each

    and every facet of finance, but you will notice a higher than usual level of interest in personal financial

    matters. You'll be interested in finding ways to help you hold on to more money at the end of each

    month, and you will work at understanding the fine print that you typically skim over. This is a good

    habit for anyone to get into, Libra or otherwise, and we recommend you stick with it when July is over

    and done with.

    Health

    Libra is a sign that is interested in higher concepts and the meaning of reality and multiple planes of

    existence. This is all well and good, and can lead to great existentialist breakthroughs, but this month

    we'd like to caution Libra in this regard. The reason is this: In July you'll be more tempted to try mind-

    altering substances, from somewhat innocuous drugs like marijuana to more dubious options like

    hallucinogens and ecstasy. Anything that will get you out of your usual pattern of thinking will seem

    appealing to you, and it goes without saying that this is a slippery slope. The best advice we can give

    Libra at this time is to look before you leap, and to think twice before putting something in your body

    that can cause irreparable harm.

  • 8 Scorpio - 23 Oct to 22 Nov: Seven of Cups

    Work/Career

    While the truly good times at work are still yet to come, they're closer than ever. This month you may

    experience some minor shakeups as Jupiter leaves Leo, but Saturn's backtrack into Scorpio should help

    you to be more confident and sure of yourself at work. In other words, the negative and positive cancel

    each other out and what is left is a relatively pain-free month at the office (or wherever you work).

    Some minor hiccups will occur next month, but overall you're in the midst of a transition to a much

    better work environment for the rest of 2015.

    Single

    Last month was tricky for Scorpio as far as love is concerned. You had Mars in your house of intimacy,

    which may have helped you to find someone who you could have a deep connection with, but Mercury

    was retrograding in the selfsame house, negating any positive benefits you may have experienced. But

    this month things are much more clear. While you don't have as much of a drive to find intimacy, you're

    also not as frustrated and confused about the whole affair. This lifting of a burden will actually help you

    to approach love with a level head, making July much more conducive to romance than June might

    have been, if not for Mercury.

    In Love

    Not unlike their single peers, Scorpios in a relationship will have a much more enjoyable time with

    their partners this month. The Mercury retrograde caused you to feel stressed out from a pent-up desire

    for intimacy that your partner may or may not have provided for you. But this month your thinking is

    much more clear and you can see your partner for his or her attributes, rather than just focusing on the

    drawbacks. If you were unnecessarily mean to your lover last month, this is the perfect time to

    apologize and treat them better. It will do wonders for your relationship.

    Finances

    As we've discussed, Saturn becomes much kinder to us as he prepares to leave a sign. His backtrack

    into your sign can be seen as his final kiss-off to you, and it should lend itself nicely to your fortunes in

    the financial world. In the early part of Saturn's time in your sign, he was giving you tough lessons on

    matters relating to investments, commissions, assets, and so forth. But now that his lessons are at an

    end, he's happy to throw you a bone in this area. Expect some great financial news of some sort this

    month and the next. And we all know that you deserve it, Scorpio.

  • Health

    Scorpio is a sign that tends to think about death and mortality more than many other signs in the

    Zodiac. And this month will bring that fact to the forefront. You'll be more focused on your impending

    doom, you'll think about the doubts you have regarding some form of afterlife, and the thought of no

    afterlife, wherein you die and then you cease to exist in any capacity for an eternity, will give you

    chills. Your best bet is to do whatever you can to take your mind off these concepts. After all, there's no

    way of knowing what comes next, once we shuffle off the mortal coil. So why trouble yourself about it

    if it will only lead to depression?

    9 Sagittarius - 23 Nov to 20 Dec: King of Wands

    Work/Career

    This is a much better month than June as far as work and money are concerned. Yes, Saturn is still

    backtracking into your twelfth house, but he's near the end of his run, and any seemingly negative

    influence that he gave you throughout his run is now replaced by more kindness and benevolence. Also,

    Jupiter is preparing to switch gears and head to your house of careers, which will bring you much more

    luck and fortune. Put simply, things will only get better from here on out, which no doubt comes as

    great news to Sagittarius.

    Single

    Mars is in your intimacy sector throughout the entire month of July, and you'll be gung-ho about

    finding someone who you can connect with on a truly deeper level. The bad news? Well, you stand a

    good chance of meeting someone that you feel a major connection with, but it's almost certainly

    doomed to be short-lived. Still, if you don't mind a short fling that may teach you an interesting lesson

    or two, it won't hurt you to give it a try. Our advice, though, is to hold out for the real deal, which

    should come closer to the end of the year.

    In Love

    The Sagittarius in a relationship will have better luck than his or her single counterparts. Mars will

    indeed influence you and make you crave more intimacy, but instead of being ultimately jilted like a

    single Sagittarius, you'll have a life partner who can reciprocate these feelings. Of course, that being

    said, you may get more easily irked if your partner isn't so inclined to return the intimacy you need.

    This could cause some minor spats, so try to look at things from your lover's perspective before you

    lose your temper.

  • Finances

    This month your ability to negotiate and barter will be weaker than usual, so do your best to avoid

    situations where this type of payment is expected. Buying a car should be postponed until you're better

    able to haggle, and it's up to you whether the minor differences you may give up in flea markets and

    open-airs is worth it. It isn't so much that you're more easily duped, so much as the idea of splitting

    hairs over price is too tedious and repugnant to you. And that we can easily understand.

    Health

    This month your appetite will seem insatiable. Your metabolism is a bit higher, but that isn't the full

    story. Food will taste better to you, and look more appealing. Fortunately, you won't gain too much

    extra weight by this increased intake of food, but if you're not careful you can add a couple pounds

    without even noticing. We recommend you try to keep your snacking limited to healthy foods high in

    fiber. This will help you to feel more full and do a good job of keeping you from the type of snacks that

    you can sit and munch until the bag or box is empty.

    10 Capricorn - 21 Dec to 19 Jan: Two of Cups

    Work/Career

    Last month was pretty productive at your job site, even in spite of the Mercury retrograde in your house

    of work. This month, Mars' influence has left you, so your overall energy and drive may be reduced just

    a bit, but luckily it will be replaced with a more focused zeroing-in on what you need to do and how

    you'll be able to do it. We've discussed at length that the second half of 2015 will be much more kind to

    Capricorn than the first half, and you're beginning to notice that now as well. The trends are finally

    more apparent to you, and this will help you to think more positively at work, which itself will in turn

    make your experience at work even better.

    Single

    It can be argued that the area in which Capricorn will grow the most (and experience the most

    positivity) will be in the realm of love and relationships. This month Mars is in your house of

    relationships and he'll be there throughout all of July and part of August. Trust will be a big factor for

    you, and you won't be as inclined to start up a relationship with someone who isn't completely on the

    up-and-up. This is just one of those factors we've discussed in your overall growth period in this area,

    Capricorn, and it's going to get even better.

  • In Love

    Trust will also play a big part for Capricorns in a relationship, and this is a great time for the two of you

    to become more open, honest, and up-front with one another. We've talked in recent months about how

    many Capricorns are in young, fresh relationships at this time. If you're starting to see elements in your

    partner that might hint at dishonesty and dubiousness, there is a good chance you'll break off the

    relationship in order to find someone who you can truly connect with. Luckily, you won't feel too bad

    about this breakup, and you'll get over it very quickly.

    Finances

    This month may see you give up an extra source of income in some capacity. You may stop renting out

    a house (or your renters may themselves vacate the premises). If you've got a second part-time job you

    may decide that it's time to go. Whatever the case, you shouldn't fret too much about what this will do

    to your overall capital. The rest of the year is going to be beneficial to you in ways related to both work

    and finances. And since your sign is great at saving money and avoiding excess expenditure, you'll

    have virtually nothing to worry about.

    Health

    Joint discomfort could be an issue for Capricorns, and it looks poised to be related mainly to work. This

    is the perfect time to take stock in your physicality at work. Capricorns who work at desk jobs (rare for

    a Capricorn, but still it happens) should look at their desk chair and see if it provides the support

    necessary. Take stock in your posture and change it if you slump or crane your neck. Those Capricorns

    working in manual labor should similarly reevaluate the way they lift or haul heavy items. A bit of

    discernment in this area can do wonders for your joints and help you avoid any major issues further

    down the road.

    11 Aquarius - 20 Jan to 18 Feb: VIII Strength

    Work/Career

    Great news for Aquarius this month: The enhanced benefits of Mars entering your house of work

    (which occurred toward the end of last month) will be in full swing all throughout July. You'll maintain

    your higher energy output and your attitude will be brimming with positivity. This is a month in which

    you'll get much more down while seemingly putting out the same effort as usual. Last month we hinted

    at a new job opportunity that provides more room for growth, or some sort of promotion or raise in

  • your current gig, and if it didn't happen at the end of June, it has an even better chance of occurring this

    month. And, in light of a tough 2014 for you in this area, we can't think of a sign more deserving of it.

    Single

    A retrograde of Venus occurs this month in your houses of relationships and intimacy, so you'll want to

    watch out for that. The first few weeks of July will be business of usual, but toward the end you'll feel

    Venus' effect in full swing. You stand a good chance of running into an ex and you may feel inclined to

    give that person another go. It isn't for us to say whether you should try to rekindle the flame or let it

    burn out once and for all; we don't know your history with this person, whoever he or she may be. But

    of course we can say that if you felt negativity and unhappiness with this person, this next go-around

    isn't likely to be any different.

    In Love

    The Venus retrograde will also play a big part for Aquarians in a relationship. While there is still a

    possibility of an ex coming back into the picture, you'll be less likely to give them the time of day

    compared to single Aquarians. But that doesn't mean things will be hunky-dory for you and your

    partner. You'll feel less patient in dealing with any problems between your lover and yourself, and you

    will prefer some alone time. This is perfectly fine and may in fact help keep the relationship healthy

    during this period. After all, a little personal time can help you come back to the relationship fully

    rested and ready to bring things to the next level.

    Finances

    Your improved luck at work will directly translate to more money in your pocketbook, but we caution

    you against blowing through this wad too quickly. A similar thing happened in the first couple months

    of the year, when you were at risk of spending away all the income you accrued from your earlier

    windfall of financial and work-related luck. As such, we advise you to be thankful for the boon but

    remain prudent in spending it. This doesn't mean you should become a miser, but it helps to remember

    that the good times won't last forever.

    Health

    We mentioned above that you'll have increased energy in your occupation, but in truth you'll have a bit

    more energy overall. And though you're firing on all cylinders at work, there is still a good chance that

    you'll have excess energy to burn once you get home. This month, we recommend that you exercise a

    bit more, or do anything else that can help to get out your remaining energy. Sitting still and doing

    nothing will cause you great anxiety this month, and we all know how bad anxiety can be to your

    overall health, to say nothing of the fact that your sign is predisposed to anxiety.

  • 12 Pisces - 19 Feb to 20 Mar: IV The Emperor

    Work/Career

    This will be a very uneventful month as far as work is concerned, which can be both a good and a bad

    thing. On the positive side of things, it's nice to know that things won't be bad in any way. But on the negative side, you may find yourself becoming bored with July being business as usual. Still, it may help you to know that August will be a very topsy-turvy, nearly bipolar month as far as work is

    concerned, thanks to the triple influence of Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury. So with that in mind, think of

    July as a nice, leveled, comfortable month before things really start getting harried.

    Single

    Last month, toward the end of June, Mars entered your house of love, and here in July you'll get to

    enjoy the full benefits of his influence throughout the entire month. You'll want badly to fall in love,

    and your vision and common sense may be muddled in this capacity. Try to be more discerning with

    whoever you meet, because you'll most certainly be wearing rose-colored glasses and seeing only the

    best in everybody. If there's a bright side, it will be that you'll be much more impatient with anyone

    who clearly doesn't have commitment in mind. But we can all be tricked, Pisces. Keep that in mind.

    In Love

    Pisceans who are already in a relationship will get all the benefits of Mars' influence with none of the

    drawbacks. Sure, you may be a little miffed if your partner doesn't want to enter the throes of love and

    romance with the zeal that you exhibit, but you'll be understanding to that end. Really, the best part is

    that the planets are set up to help your relationship grow even more in the next few months. The

    influence of Mars in this regard will continue into August, and then the very next month he'll enter your

    house of relationships, giving you the energy and drive to take things even further. The road is laid out

    for you, Pisces. All you have to do is start walking down it.

    Finances

    There's a good chance that last month's Mercury retrograde in your house of home and family caused

    you to put off any home improvement plans. You also probably spent a bit more money on things that

    broke or stopped working around the house. But this month Mercury is completely out of your hair, and

    you can take this opportunity to go through with the domestic projects that you were forced to put off

    last month. Sure, you may spend a tidy bit of money, but odds are that these repairs and improvements

    were a long time coming and you had stowed away some income for just such a purpose.

  • Health

    Try to pay attention to your feet this month, because some small issues can creep up. Female Pisces are

    particularly cautioned against wearing shoes that hurt your feet simply for the sake of vanity. Yes, there

    are some shoes that look fantastic on you, but is it really worth it to have permanent damage to your

    heels, arches, toes, and so forth? Pedicures are also something to be wary of, especially if you have

    suffer from diabetes. We're not telling you to not get your toes done, but we do recommend that you

    have it done by professionals who are skilled in this area.
