Aries
Alright Aries let’s begin with Mercury! The planet of communication, and archetype of the trickster is retrograde in your 4th house of family and home until the 12th. When Mercury goes backwards in the sky, the planet has a rather squirlly effect on us all! For you Aries, cuz its in your 4th house, you could have miscommunications and arguments with family or the people you live with, including your partner. The 4th house also represents your deep past, so you may have to revisit some old issue or person from there. You could also run into technical snafus with the electronics you live with Then Mercury finally goes direct on the 12th so that should clear up these areas and communication should get smoother.
Venus, the planet of love and peace is in your 3rd house of siblings and local community all month. If you’ve got brothers and sisters- you can put that sibling rivalry aside for now because Venus is working her magic here. And you should be getting along really well with your neighbors and people in your community. Venus shows us how we enjoy things, so you may have fun walking your dog, going for a jog, or working in your garden. The third house is also about communication, so you may be one Chatty Cathy this month and your phone may be blowing up more than usual.
Mars is in your first house of self all month. Mars is the planet of YOU Aries, so all of your Aries-ness may be more Aries-like than usual. Try to reign in those ponies when you can! Because you might be more dominating this month, and willing to run roughshod over others if you can’t get your way. If you find yourself about to tell someone to go fly a kite, put on your joggers, and run a few loops in the park. This is a good time to assert yourself if you need to, just don’t overdo it.
Lots of 10th house energy for you this month too Aries! The tenth house is your career, your social standing and your authority figures – whether they are parents, teachers, bosses or government officials like cops. Saturn is coming back in this house on July 3rd for most of the year, so more work and responsibilities may get dumped on you at your job. You could feel more stuck in your job and blocked from making progress. Don’t get so obsessed with your work and achievements that you neglect your personal life though! AND a Lunar Eclipse is also happening in your 10th this month, so that means sudden and unexpected changes in your career, your authority figures, your home, your family, and your reputation.
Taurus
So Taurus, Mercury is retrograde in your 3rd house of communication, siblings and neighbors until the 12th, and it’s been retrograde sine June 18th This means that you very well may say the wrong thing at some point, or have someone say the wrong thing to you! For example, both you and someone else may walk away from the same conversation have completely different understandings of what you guys just talked about. If you have any siblings, then this transit can also coincide with miscommunications with them. Your computer and phone may be extra glitchy too – so back it up on the Cloud because you like holding onto things Taurus!
Venus is in the 2nd house of money this month. That means that you may feel extra spendy this now! You love a good luxury Taurus so be careful if your champaign tastes have to contend with a Budweiser budget. However, Venus does have the power to attract things, so this transit can also bring some financial opportunities to you. This is a good time if you need to financially negotiate anything, just try not to overspend if you can!
Mars is hanging out in your 12th house all month Taurus. The 12th house is a secluded place so planets can hide in there. Mars represents your anger, so even though you’re a peaceloving creature who usually doesn’t get pissy quickly, you’re more inclined to be passive aggressive now. Instead of confronting those who irritate you, you may prefer to act behind their backs in a bitchy and indirect way. Watch out that these indirect actions don’t blow up in your face, cuz this is also the house of self undoing – yay!
Let’s talk about your 9th house Taurus cuz there’s a lot of activity there too! The 9th represents your worldview. Saturn is retrograding back in there on July 3rd and it will stay there for most of the year. Well, you’ve got to admit you’ve got a stubborn streak in you. Stubborn can be good though! It’s help you persevere. But sometimes that stubbornness can make you close minded. As Saturn back tracks in your 9th house, don’t be trapped in a narrow viewpoint of the world or anything else for that matter. If you are in school or taking classes, then you may feel more blocked from making progress. Also try to keep your nose clean with legal matters because when Saturn is in the 9th, you can also have more problems with Johnny Law.
And we also have a big lunar eclipse coming up and eclipses always bring big change! I know that change isn’t your favorite thing Taurus, but don’t worry! I’ll let you know what to expect. The Lunar Eclipse is also happening in your 9th House, on July 5th so expect some unexpected events throughout the month in your education, travel plans, legal matters, religious life, any promotional projects, and any intellectual or technical work you do.
Gemini
Hey Gemini! We need to talk money this month cuz there’s a lot of astrological activity going on in this area for you. Mercury is retrograde in your second house of money, and it’s been this way since June 18th. That means that when it comes to your finances, Gemini, something is not quite adding up. Maybe an unexpected bill comes up or there could be some mistake in your account! There could be a miscalculation or error in your money which causes a bookkeeping blunder, so make sure to check over your books a few times. However, don’t try cooking your books now or you could be setting yourself up for future problems. Mercury is going direct on the 12th which should be good for everyone because contracts and communications will get a lot easier.
Venus is in your 1st house all month, and the first house represents YOU! Venus is the planet of beauty and you are embodying venus in July! That means you’ll be looking extra cute all month.

This should also be a great month for taking selfies!
Mars is in your 11th house all month Gemini, and teamwork is the watchword of this transit. In your professional or personal life, you may become part of some group activity – like playing a video game with your friends or being part of a collective effort at work. Remember, Gemini, there is no ‘I’ in team. Try to put your energy into serving the needs of everyone and not just your own. This is also the house of friends, and Mars is a feisty planet, so your friends may be extra pushy or competitive this month.
Saturn is now retrograde and going back to your 8th house of other people’s money on July 3rd and it will stay here for most of the year– the 8th house refers to the money you share with others like a joint credit card with your partner, an inheritance from your family, or debts and loans from the bank. If you’ve depended on other people’s resources, including financial institutions or family, then that money might be harder to come by now. Try to secure your own resources so you don’t have to rely on others as much if you can. You may also have to contend with other people’s values which are much different than your own.
You are also having the lunar eclipse on July 5th that straddles your 8th and 2nd house axis of money! Eclipses can affect us weeks before and after the actual date though. Expect big changes in your inheritances, savings, partner’s money, debts, loans, and your personal income.
Cancer
Happy birthday Cancer! Let’s start with Mercury – planet of communication and archetype of the trickster. Mercury starts the month retrograde in your first house of self, and it’s been retrograde since last month, so that means your mental energy is more influenced by your emotions than your reason. You may be more assertive with communication but also more easily misunderstood. Mercury is one of the fastest moving planets so it’s associated with a nervous energy. In your first house that means that you may be extra anxious or overly focused on some mental issue. So give yourself a mental margarita and try to relax when you can! When Mercury goes direct on the 12th, you should be feeling some relief.
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is in your 12th House all month – and this is a house of service. You may have to make some sacrafices for the one you love.

So help others out, but try not to be annoying about it.
Mars, the planet of action, is in your 10th house all month. You may feel like striving for the stars and achieving more than ever right now! And you may feel like batting heads with any authority figure who tells you what to do. If you can help it, try not to tell your mom, boss, or neighborhood police-officer to go fly a kite. You also may be feeling more competitive with your coworkers because you think they’re the problem…just remember that it takes two to tango. If you can do work on your own this month, that may be for the best.
Saturn goes back into Capricorn on July 3rd and it will stay here for most of the year. You might feel like there’s a big old wet blanket on your love life, and not in a fun way. Maybe you’re feeling the heavy responsibilities of being in a relationship or distance from your partner. If you are single, then you may be really feeling how hard it is to meet someone good. This is a good time for taking stock of what your practical needs are when you are in love, so you can choose better for yourself in the future. Love is a balance between pragmatism and idealism. This is also the house of business partner too, so if you have one of those, you may be experiencing more difficulties with them

There may be some things that you swore you had finished, were done with, and now you realize you were wrong! That can be a buzzkill. You just may have to go back to square one on some plan or idea you had. Also, there might be someone in your life who you thought was cool but who now seems to not be on your side. Oh well! At least you know where they stand now.
Venus, the planet of relationships, is in 11th house of groups all month, so this is a nice time for getting along with your friends. This could be a good month for some group facetimes!

If you’re single, then you might meet someone new on an app, or on social media or somewhere else on the internet, because the 11th house is also the house of networks.
Mars, the planet of energy, is in 9th house all month. You may go stircrazy this month because you want to bust out of anything you feel is restricting you! The 9th house is also the house of the higher mind, which includes your opinions. Now Leo- you’re a natural performer and can easily a capture the attention of your audience. However, don’t use your stage as a pulpit –because nobody wants to watch a blowhard, and the last thing you want to do is bore everyone to death. Because, ultimately, you don’t want to alienate your audience since you need them as much as they need you.
Saturn, the planet of challenge, goes back in your 6th house on July 3rd and it will stay here for most of the year.

If you can put off signing contracts until Mercury goes direct on the 12th, that would probably be for the best. You can also expect some technological snafus like unsent emails, computer breakdowns, and glitchy phones so try to back up everything on the cloud or something.
Venus, the planet of relationships and peace, is in your 10th house of career and authority all month. When it comes to dealing with authority figures – like parents, teachers, bosses, and police officers – you can now use your charm to disarm!

You can really identify with your work Virgo, so this should be a good time at your job.
Mars, the planet of war, is in your 8th house of other people’s money all month.
