Find out what this month has in store for you.
Play down any bickering with a relative or friend and take ownership of any mistakes you might have made. What you mustn’t do is refuse to listen to criticism when you know you’ve been slightly remiss in certain areas. You would only be prolonging the agony by vigorously defending yourself.

You’ll be invited to take part in a trip or get-together out of the blue. Any decisions on this matter should, if possible, be made by 20 August, when Uranus enters a retrograde phase. That’s the point at which others are likely to provide unreliable information or leave you wondering whether perhaps you’re being duped.
Listen to your instincts when they tell you that unusual shifts and changes impacting your financial affairs cannot be ignored. Without hinting that people are behaving fraudulently—or at least, irresponsibly—you must make it obvious that you’re watching them. If, as a result, the problem rights itself, well and good. Otherwise, remain vigilant.

Friends or loved ones might assume that developments in your work or lifestyle will affect them adversely. Do everything possible to avoid letting a Mercury-Jupiter clash create a sense of panic and mistrust in them. Be prepared to disclose even the most sensitive details to convince those involved that they’re truly on safe ground.
Reorganise aspects of your home or family life and don’t think you have to wait for the approval of others before you make a start. You’re perfectly capable of making decisions related to finances, refurbishments or the amount of support expected by those who should be more self-sufficient by now.
A part of you wants to prove your worth within a competitive area. And with time running out, you’ll soon decide to act. That’s fine, provided you’re as prepared as you can be and you’ve thought hard about why you need to test yourself in this way.
Private thoughts concerning an intimate relationship might leave you wondering whether there are serious issues to confront. Don’t be misled by a disruptive Sun-Saturn set-to that could, if you’re not careful, leave you feeling guilty for voicing your fears and concerns. You have a right to speak up and must do so before it’s too late.
Listen to that part of you that feels obliged to support certain individuals but also suspects they’re taking advantage of you. This dilemma needn’t be overwhelming, but you must be honest with yourself about what you really think of those concerned. Might unconscious bias be playing a part?
Plans to spring a surprise on somebody close could go awry unless you’re very fussy about minor details. Not only could the cost go through the roof, but you might also misjudge the impact caused by your desire to show off your creative streak when in fact, it’s neither welcome nor well timed.
You’ll be encouraged to prove yourself within territory you find challenging. And about time too. Be honest and admit that you’ve not been showing your strengths in case they’re outnumbered by your weaknesses. You cannot delay any longer. You’re almost certain to achieve positive results.
Just as you think a personal or work-related arrangement is doomed to fail, someone will come to your rescue. Venus confronting Neptune but befriending Pluto urges you to rely on the know-how and generosity of this onlooker who is about to teach you a lot, not just about matters in hand but also about yourself.
Juggling your finances might take some effort until around mid-August, when you’ll be shown ways to get more for your money in saving or spending. You’ll also realise that you’ve been underestimating the ability of one particular person to steer you away from potential disasters and guide you towards success.
