Weekly July 25-31 2016

Aries:

It’s an all-Aries-all-the-time kind of week. The Moon is in your sign until Tuesday, lighting the spark of your ambition to blaze new paths. Rest as much as you can on Wednesday and Thursday, because by the weekend you’ll be on call 24/7 – there will be little time to chill out. When Uranus goes retrograde in your own constellation on Friday, the impetus to think radical thoughts deepens. Your ego has been going through a major transformation during the last few years, and for the next few months, you should think this through. Mercury moves into your work zone Saturday: prepare to be insanely productive.

Taurus:

The stars have your best interests at heart this week, especially from late Tuesday to Thursday. That’s when the Moon moves into your own sign, igniting your peak-energy phase for the month of July. This puts you in the cosmic driver’s seat for at least 48-hours, Taurus – make sure you use this time to your best advantage. By Friday Uranus goes retrograde, creating a bit of a bump in the universe – things might be quite weird for a day or two. Happily, when Mercury moves into your love and pleasure zone on Saturday, you’ll be granted three weeks of awesome romance and creativity.

Gemini:

This week doesn’t come with bombast and drama like the last few have, and that’s a very good thing, Gemini, because you could use the rest. That’s exactly what you should aim for from Tuesday to Thursday, after a busy weekend of socializing. If you spend some quiet time and practice self-care at midweek, your peak-energy phase, starting late Thursday evening, will be even more magnificent. Things shift significantly on Friday, as Uranus goes retrograde in your social zone. Radical changes that have affected your friendships can be brought into deeper context over the next few months: it’ll all start to make sense soon.

Cancer:

The workweek is relatively free of stress and madness, unlike the last few months. There are no major aspects until Friday, so take a chill pill and gently focus on your ambitions at midweek. You don’t have to push too hard – things will come to you more easily than usual. Use your contacts to get ahead on Wednesday and early Thursday. On Friday everything feels a bit out of order as Uranus goes retrograde – this can make you rethink your professional goals over the next few months. Mercury shifts into your house of communication on Saturday, bringing you endless energy for talking, texting and tweeting.

Leo:

With Leo season in full force, you can (and will) achieve all your recent dreams – and maybe even some future dreams. On some levels this week might seem boring, because there aren’t any volatile aspects to speak of. Take the hint from the universe and breathe in and out slowly – you do need the rest, Ms. Kitty. Things begin to get a bit weird on Friday, when Uranus goes retrograde in the sister fire sign of Aries. This can stir you up and slow you down at the same time – especially in terms of your travel schedule. Mercury gets your finances going on Saturday.

Virgo:

Everything is relatively quiet on the Virgo front for now, but that begins to change late this week, presaging your birthday month. This week emphasizes sex and transformation – you’ll be reminded that you need to have both of these in your life on a regular basis. Do not allow anything to become stagnant or stuck now, because it will backfire on you. Part of you might want to remain safe, but remember that you can change slowly and practically – it doesn’t have to happen all at once, without warning. Your ruler Mercury moves into your own sign on Saturday, bringing everything awesome your way.

Libra:

You might not be in the best mood as the week begins, thanks to your low-energy phase. It’s always a bit annoying when this coincides with the start of the workweek, because extra caffeine might be required to get you through the day – especially on Monday and Tuesday. Life gets truly interesting and a bit weird near the weekend, when Uranus goes retrograde in your relationship zone on Friday. Have you experienced any significant shifts in your partnerships in recent months – especially ones that seemed to happen too fast? The stars will help you figure out what changed – so you can readjust.

Scorpio:

This week starts off quiet, but it doesn’t remain that way, Scorpio. The emphasis is on work, organization, and healthy habit. You’ll have plenty of energy for this on Monday and Tuesday, when the Moon is your sixth house of productivity. Things slow down a bit at midweek when your low-energy phase kicks in. By Friday you’re back to thinking about work, but in a whole new way. Uranus goes retrograde right before the weekend, which will make you more reflective about any sudden changes you’ve made in recent months. Mercury moves into your networking zone on Saturday, revving up your social life.

Sagittarius:

You’re so ready to roll this week, Sadge! The Moon is in Aries (a sister fire sign) as the workweek begins, setting you on a path of maximum pleasure, romance and creativity. Even though things settle into a slower groove at midweek, you’ll revisit the dating, mating and relating theme on Friday, when Uranus goes retrograde in your fifth house of love. This can have the effect of slowing down and speeding up this part of your life at the same time. You’ll definitely get more perspective on creative endeavors and love affairs, and it can help you to change direction.

Capricorn:

You’ve completely remade yourself in recent weeks, and now you’re ready to take a bit of a break. Luckily the stars will comply this week, by giving you the space and time to chill out and collect yourself – preferably in your own private sanctuary. There is a strong emphasis on home and family early this week, thanks to the Moon’s presence in your domestic zone. This theme returns in full force on Friday, when Uranus goes retrograde in the same part of your chart. It’s time to review the changes you’ve made during the last five months, Capricorn.

Aquarius:
Communication is key this week, so aim for complete clarity in every situation. This is really important on Monday and Tuesday while the Moon is in your house of talking and texting. You might feel quite overwhelmed by all the messages flooding into your inbox, but you’ll be able to navigate it all quite easily. By later in the week things shift once again thanks to your ruling planet Uranus. On Friday it’s going retrograde, asking you to spend the next five months reviewing the first half of 2016. Have you accomplished all you’ve meant to and gotten your own message out?

Pisces:

This week delivers a strong financial message, and it’s a positive one (for the most part). The Moon is in your money zone on Monday and Tuesday, allowing you to make the right decisions about budgeting. You can also go after the income you need: ask for a raise or pursue new clients. On Friday Uranus, the planet of instant change, goes retrograde in the same part of your chart. It’s time to ask the important questions about your finances, Pisces – have you been too impulsive in recent months? During the rest of 2016, you can course-correct and put yourself in a much more lucrative position.
