Venus transits into home-loving Cancer on the 4th, encouraging togetherness and patriotism during the holiday. Then, a series of celestial rendezvous’ with romantic Venus will either enliven your love life or cause a keen bout of relationship confusion: First is the free-for-all Uranus influence on the 6th and 7th, instigating enlightenment and and/or upheaval, followed by a plunge back down to earth with the Saturn-Venus tryst on the 7th and 8th (commitment, anyone?). Then, passionate Mars brings a fresh burst of fireworks on the 10th and 11th.
High energy continues during the Full Moon on the 13th, which ushers in Mercury in dramatic Leo on the same day.
