Pisces

Circle July 14. The new moon that day, at 22° Cancer, lands in your solar fifth house — romance, play, and the creative work that is yours alone, reading your Sun sign as the first house the way monthly horoscopes do. It’s the cleanest fresh start of your summer: ask the person out, start the draft, book the studio time. The footnote is Mercury, retrograde in that same house until July 23 — the old flame who resurfaces or the stalled project that stirs in early July deserves a look, but wait until after the 23rd to call it back on.

Partnership warms up on schedule. Venus enters Virgo, your seventh house, on July 9, and most of the month is easier for couples and close collaborators because of it. The one dated bump: Venus squares Uranus on July 13, when a household surprise tests everyone’s patience — likely the aftershock of July 4, when Mars met Uranus in your fourth house and something at home changed without asking first. The appliance, the roommate’s announcement, the sudden idea about moving. Gather the estimates early, but the Mars–Saturn sextile on July 19 is when the repair, the quote, or the family decision turns sensible.

Work grows, and pleasantly, if you pace it. Jupiter is in Leo, your sixth house of routines and health, and the Sun joins it — entering Leo on July 22, then conjunct Jupiter at 6° Leo on July 29, the brightest day of the month. Say yes to the bigger role that day. The caution is the axis it sits on: Jupiter opposed Pluto on July 20, the Sun repeats it on July 27, and both point at your twelfth house of rest — more work only holds up if the recovery is scheduled alongside it. Fittingly, the July 29 full moon at 6° Aquarius lands in that twelfth house the same day. Take the win, then take the night off.

About money: the Sun–Saturn square on July 6 prices the month’s fun against the budget, and Saturn stations retrograde in your second house on July 26, with Neptune retrograde there since July 7. The spending plan goes under review through fall. Decide nothing dramatic — keep paying the same bills and let the numbers sit still.
