Forecast for July 12-25
A home-loving new moon in Cancer on the 14th launches a new cycle for home projects and family activities. Cozy family gatherings, and home decorating and renovating are favored through mid-July. Moreover, Venus transiting through detail-oriented Virgo July 14-Aug. 9 helps combine beauty with functionality in creative projects. As for romance, Venus in Virgo encourages an analysis of relationships, while Mars in earthy Taurus amps up sensuality while prompting couples to get real about their ideals and issues. Having both planets in earth signs signifies a more practical approach to love. A glitch in this sensible combination is Mars’ clash with ethereal Neptune on the 24th, when mixed messages are likely to cause misunderstandings.
