AIRIES
Dear Airies July is a month to put on hold any major plans, projects or new beginnings because Mercury starts its retrograde from the 8th to the 1st August affecting us all. This can dampen, hinder or block Mercury’s positive attributes in our lives, putting a ‘spanner in the works’ particularly with all types of communication, travel plans, logical thoughts, creative ideas, new contracts, hindering learning and self-improvement. Aries for you personally, Mercury’s backward-sway affects relationships, love, romance, lovers, leisure and your pleasure sectors. It would be wise to not start any new relationships, avoid signing new contracts, hold back or rethink your communication and generally hold back on any major plans till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.

 

 

TAURUS
Dear Taurus July has your ruler Venus, the bringer of abundance & prosperity, travelling through your personal areas of money, wealth & self worth. This is an area that Venus is particularly at home in, so for you it’s a lucky period to attract incomes or wealth in some way. Advice for this month is to put new starts, major plans & new contracts on hold, as Mercury starts its retrograde, putting a spanner in the works’ with all forms of communication, travel plans & logical thought processes. For you personally Taurus, Mercury’s backward trek affects areas of the home, family, children and the roots of your life that bring you emotional stability. It’s a month to take care with these sectors and generally hold back on any major plans till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.

 

 

GEMINI
Dear Gemini’s July has your ruling planet Mercury starting a retrograde from the 8th till the 1st August. This could put you a little ‘off your game,’ possibly breed stagnancy or confusion. The retrograde will hinder or block Mercury’s positive attributes in our lives, putting a ‘spanner in the works’ with all types of communication, travel plans, logical thoughts, creative plans, new contracts, hindering learning and self-improvement. For Gems, this is accented more so because first, he’s your ruler and second, he’s retrograding in your personal house of communication, learning, short trips & learning. It’s very wise to not start anything new, avoid signing new contracts, hold back or rethink your communication both spoken, written & thought-processes,  generally hold-on till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.

 

 

CANCER
July is a month belonging to Cancerians, as the almighty Sun takes it’s turn to travel through your sign till the 23rd showering you with its light. This is accented even more so, as the New Moon on the 2nd is in Cancer with added va-va-voom from the attached Solar Eclipse. Then the Full Moon on the 16th has added firepower of it’s attached Lunar Eclipse, both occurring in your opposite sign of Capricorn. This has the power to create changes & transformations with a ‘pow-wow’ energy. Be mindful of Mercury retrograding from the 8th till the 1st of August affecting your personal areas of money, wealth incomes and self worth. A month to hold back on any excess spending or expenditures. Also, that there’s a ‘spanner-in-the-works’ with Mercury’s backwards trek, so generally hold-on till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.

 

 

LEO
Dear Leo July is a month to put on hold any major plans, projects or new beginnings as Mercury starts its retrograde from the 8th to the 1st August, affecting us all. However this will affect you more so, as it’s occurring in your sign. Mercury travelling in reverse gear, then leaves your sign on the 19th entering the sign before yours, Cancer.  The backward movement can hinder or block Mercury’s positive attributes in our lives, putting a ‘spanner in the works’ with all types of communication, travel, logical thoughts, creative plans, new contracts, hindering learning and self-improvement. Fiery Mars enters your sign from the 2nd pushing you to take action or speak out towards something but care should be taken as Mercury maybe causing issues here. Then the spotlight is showered on you, as the almighty Sun enters your sign on the 23rd.

 

 

VIRGO
Dear Virgo July has your ruling planet Mercury starting a retrograde from the 8th till the 1st August. This can hinder or block Mercury’s positive attributes in our lives, putting a ‘spanner in the works’ with all types of communication, travel plans, logical thoughts, creative plans, new contracts, hindering learning and self-improvement. For Virgo this is accented more so because firstly, he’s your ruler and secondly, he’s retrograding in your 12th house so this could highlight or bring out something from the past, secrets, lies, the hidden of the subconscious mind, fears or worries. Overall it’s wise for you to not start anything new, avoid signing new contracts, hold back or rethink your communication – both spoken, written & thought-processes till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.

This can hinder or block Mercury’s positive attributes in our lives, putting a ‘spanner in the works’ with all types of communication, travel, logical thoughts, creative plans, new contracts, hindering learning and self-improvement. Personally for you, this backwards travel is affecting areas of friendships, group associations, joint efforts and social acceptance. So you may find challenges in your dealings with in these areas. A time to avoid starting anything new, avoid signing new contracts, hold back or rethink your communication both spoken, written & thought-processes till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.

 

 

SCORPIO
Dear Scorpio July has Mars firing up areas of your ambitions, long-term goals and reputation, pushing you to take action, to speak-up or go after a goal. However I would advise to hold back and observe, rather than take action, because Mercury starts a retrograde in this very area from the 8th till the 1st August. This puts a ‘spanner in the works’ in the sectors mentioned hindering all types of communication, travel plans, logical thoughts, creative plans, new contracts, hindering learning and self-improvement. Generally it’s a time to avoid starting anything new, avoid signing new contracts, hold back or rethink your communication both spoken, written & thought-processes till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.

 

 

SAGITTARIUS

This can hinder or block Mercury’s positive attributes in our lives, putting a ‘spanner in the works’ on all types of communication, travel plans, logical thoughts, creative plans, new contracts, hindering learning and self-improvement. Along with your ruler Jupiter being in its last month of retrograde as well, it’s best this month to avoid starting anything new, avoid signing new contracts, hold back or rethink your communication both spoken, written & thought-processes. On a positive note the Love Goddess Venus is firing up your need for relationships and commitments in your life. However with 2 retrogrades it’s a time to avoid starting anything new, avoid signing new contracts, hold back or rethink your communication till Mercury goes direct on the 1st of August.
