Astrology Forecast for July 14-27
By Cortney Litwin/ Staff Writer
A major planetary shift that will activate new learning experiences (sometimes hard ones!) takes place when Saturn transits into Leo on July 16 for 26 months (read your sign for specifics.) Currently, a fire-sign tryst involving Venus, Mars and Pluto sends love and intimacy into orbit from the 13th-17th. Then, Mercury turns retrograde from July 22-Aug. 15, a time to watch out for communication and paperwork snafus. The full moon on the 21st highlights work and home life. Next, the sun transits into Leo on the 22nd and conjuncts serious Saturn on the 23rd. More sign changes include Venus entering service-oriented Virgo on the 22nd and Mars entering sensual, sensible Taurus on the 27th.
