Forecast for July 16-29
Get in touch with your inner genius when inventive Uranus connects with Mercury and the sun on the 16th through the 18th. Communications then get creative after Mercury transits into drama-prone Leo on the 17th. The new moon eclipse in Cancer on the 21st energizes family gatherings, but the eclipse can make interactions unpredictable. Adding to the stress is the Venus-Saturn square on the same day, which can erect a roadblock in romance. Fortunately, love and creativity get a boost after the sun transits into Leo on the 22nd. Relationships are further energized by a foursome involving Venus, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus on the 26th and 27th, which makes love bloom but sends realism out the window. Enjoy the romantic glow but keep one foot on the ground.
