It’s time for us all to take a break from the daily routine. Let’s embrace the chance to relax and change the pace. But are the planets smiling on our plans? Let’s take a look.
With major planets Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto retrograde throughout the summer, and being joined by Uranus on the 20th of August, any efforts to implement change and progress in our lives may stall out unless we have taken care of the details. So let’s stay upbeat and just go with the flow.

P.S. Don’t forget to read your rising sign as well if you know it.
Happy Birthday, Cancer!
Summer focus: Through the darkness, look for a glimmer of light.
Planets in Aquarius are urging you to delve into some of the deepest recesses of your soul. Change is there on an existential level, circumstances may seem beyond your control. On a material plane, try to avoid sinking into debt, live as frugally as Sa7el allows and celebrate the joy of summer to the max on the 3rd of August when friends will be chatty and upbeat.
Leo:
Summer focus: Be flexible to make the most of the rollercoaster ride of summer.
If you have a set idea of what you want to transpire this summer, you may end up spinning your wheels. In other words, expect the unexpected, and all sorts of fun things might happen. A lot hangs on your relationships, and sometimes it may seem that others are calling the shots. Be patient, there will be some high points that make it all worthwhile.
Aries:
Summer focus: Girls just gotta have fun!
After being bogged down with work for so long, nothing is going to stop you hanging out with your ‘besties’. You have a deep need to reconnect with friends and acquaintances and enjoy life as it used to be. Be understanding if people are going through a rough patch, duty may come before pleasure, so don’t take it personally if they seem tied up.
Taurus:
Summer focus: Try to find time to relax.
You may find that career responsibilities interfere with family and home life. Find a balance and accept that sacrifices and compromises made now may serve you well in the long run. Think long-term and show flexibility when changes seem to be coming out of the blue, it will not be overlooked.
Gemini:
Summer focus: Follow your own true path.
Recent events may see you questioning your dearly held points of view, so maybe it’s time to revisit them. Cutting out dead wood encourages growth! Frustration could come from not having the freedom to travel at the drop of a hat, your need for change and variety is incessant. But hey, with Jupiter entering your solar 9th house, expect to see an improvement in the situation.
Virgo:
Summer focus: Take care of your health and it will take care of you.
The past period may have seen you so bogged down in daily work routines that you have neglected to find the right work-leisure balance. Virgo is quite capable of feeling huge pangs of guilt if any small task remains undone. Try to change your routine, slot in some ‘me’ time and remember to eat regular nutritious meals. Heard it all before? So, maybe there is some truth there.
Libra:
Summer focus: Tough things out in July and wait for a better August.
It may seem that nothing is working in your life at times but have faith. Jupiter will enter fellow Air sign Aquarius in late July, lightening your load. Your creative energy will receive a boost, and the unattached might find new romantic prospects popping up out of nowhere. Shrug off your woes and learn to love life again.
Scorpio:
Summer focus: Something is cooking on the home front.
Family matters play a big role in how your summer vacation pans out. Maybe you decide to stick close to home, or maybe you are in the throes of moving house. Whichever way it goes, you may have a few disruptions to your well-laid plans. Jupiter will cruise into this sector by late July, indicating that all’s well that ends well.
Sagittarius:
Summer focus: Busy times ahead
If you plan to spend time on the road, make sure your car is well maintained. It looks like an action-packed summer, with lots of family visits, and casual get-togethers. Don’t allow yourself to become mentally drained, make sure that each day includes some time for you to find your inner balance. Good news could come in the final days of July.
Capricorn:
Summer focus: Money makes the world go around…
Please, Capricorn, take a break. When it comes to keeping your nose to the grindstone you put the rest of the world to shame. Finances should be improving, and are you entering a new phase of opportunity and stability in that area. Allow yourself a few indulgences, you have earned them.
Aquarius:
Summer focus: Slow down a little.
Let’s face it. You also need a break. Life has been a bit of a whirlwind these past months, and you need time to regain your focus. Avoid implementing unnecessary changes, just work on refining those that have taken place already. Jupiter is on course to enter your sign, ushering in a new period of contentment. Just watch that extra kilos don’t pile on.
Pisces:
Summer focus: Find your inner peace.
You can be the most sociable creature on earth and the life and soul of any party, but this summer you may benefit from withdrawing from the frenzy of summer a little. You need time to reflect on which direction your life is going in. Meditate, relax, commune with nature, and things will become clearer.
