After the 22nd, get out and circulate again. The Sun is in Leo, your social third house, sparking your super-connector powers. Introduce this friend to that client, or bring together your different circles. New people have flooded your life since late May, thanks to Jupiter and Uranus in your friendship sector. Now, mix a few of these newcomers into your longtime crew, especially when Jupiter and Uranus go retrograde (backward) this month.

Craving more personal time, Gemini? On July 22nd, Saturn rounds out its journey through Virgo, your home and family sector. Since April, Saturn has put a cramp in your family or relaxation time, making it hard to really settle into your nest. Saturn’s departure eases up tension on the homefront. You could move, sell property, or make peace with a female relative if ties have been strained.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
Love turns serious later in the month when Saturn reenters Libra on July 22nd. Over the next two years, your outdated romantic habits and expectations must evolve. Although this shouldn’t be a tough transit (Libra is a friendly fellow air sign), you could stand to mature in the love arena. If you still expect some modern-day Fabio to canter up on a white horse, toss out that fantasy fast. Love requires discipline and dedication—it doesn’t run on auto-pilot. We all wake up one day in a panic and think: “the passion is gone.” It’s not. It just stopped automatically generating itself. Now, it’s your turn to learn how to create that spark, instead of waiting for someone else to hand you the match!

You’re up for Saturn’s challenge, but there’s a twist. Jupiter in your emotionally detached eleventh house squares off with transformational Pluto in your intimacy sector. This could evoke a bout of Peter Pan Syndrome, especially around July 25th. Immature friends could tempt you to take a foolish risk in the name of “freedom,” or your own knee-jerk reaction to feeling trapped could spark a senseless blowout. Don’t sabotage everything you’ve built because of cabin fever.

You’re a thrill junkie, but like any recovering addict, you must avoid the first “drink.” That means holding yourself accountable and avoiding fuzzy gray area. Eschew those late-night chats, or racy instant message sessions. Work through your intimacy issues with a therapist, not by confiding in gossipy friends or (worse) an ex-lover “who knows you so well.” You know when you’re playing with fire, Gemini. Don’t do it!

MONEY & CAREER:
New income sources are on their way! The Sun is in Cancer, your money and work sector, until July 22nd. However, the most potent day is July 11th, when a total solar eclipse in Cancer could bring job offers or career coups out of the blue. If you love your current job, don’t worry—the eclipse could bring a more permanent role with the company. An artistic project could garner serious attention after the 22nd, when disciplined Saturn moves into your creative fifth house. If you work in the arts, music, dance or any creative field, apply yourself over the next couple years—you could gain real momentum or acclaim in your field.

Connect with old contacts this month, too. Innovative Uranus goes retrograde (backward) in Aries, your group activity sector, on July 5th. Expansive Jupiter, which has been in Aries since June 6th, also goes retrograde on the 23rd. This is an important time to tap old friends and colleagues, or to rejoin a helpful networking group. On July 25th, a full moon in your inspiring ninth house could bring an opportunity to travel for business, teach or return to school. It’s also inspiring day to creatively revamp your big-picture goals. Keep your money in your pocket at this full moon. You may be tempted to gamble, but the stars indicate unclear thinking, possibly motivated by greed or negative emotions.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
For much of July, Saturn, Mars and Venus are all in Virgo, your family and self-care sector. It’s time to mend fences—literally and figuratively. Family feuds and grudges have met their expiration date. It’s time to be the bigger person, Gemini, especially with your mother or a female relative. If your home needs repair, tackle it now. Check the foundation, water systems and pipes in particular, especially if you’re due for an inspection.

Are you thinking of starting a family? On July 22nd, Saturn moves into Libra, your fertile fifth house. It may take time (even treatments) before you can conceive over the next two years, but don’t give up. Address any unresolved emotional issues first, or simply take better care of yourself. These shifts in the way you treat yourself will give you a great capacity to nurture and give life to others. Next up: your Gemini Weekly Horoscope >
