Pisces Weekly Horoscope

How are you representing in the public eye? This Monday, July 6, the Sun in your image-conscious fifth house gets checked by stern Saturn, who’s parked in your second house of values and ethics. When you're at your best, Pisces, you operate at a sterling level of integrity, trusting in the universe and treating everyone around you like gold. But when the scarcity mindset kicks in, you can get lured by a shady deal—or worse, resort to sneaky tactics under the guise of being "strategic." Cutting corners could come back to haunt you this week, so keep all your dealings on the up and up. If you must stoop to THAT level just to keep something in place, it probably isn't meant to be yours. That said, you don't have to give up without a fight. If someone is pulling a power trip or trying to take what's due to you, correct it through the proper channels instead of stooping to the bully's low.

Keep a tighter grip on your wallet starting this Tuesday, July 7. Foggy Neptune, your galactic guardian, is slipping into its annual five-month retrograde. While this itself isn’t unusual, here’s what is. For the first time since 2011, the backspin is NOT taking place in Pisces at all! Earlier this year, on January 26, you ended a 15-year cycle of hosting the numinous planet in your sign. Your identity went through all sorts of fluctuations over that cycle. For the next 14 years, while Neptune cruises through active, daring Aries, you might feel like the Little Mermaid taking a spin on dry land. It feels good to be grounded (albeit weird), but you might be missing some of those familiar waters. As Neptune reverse commutes through Aries until December 12, you have a chance to look back on some valuable ideals (and creative ideas!) that you shelved prematurely. Aries is in charge of your second house which rules your material resources, and Neptune may have obscured some important data. Pay attention, and you might become aware of your fiscal foibles as well as strategies for getting on more solid ground. With distracted Neptune in reverse, you may need some clear-cut systems to avoid slipping into bad habits like compulsive shopping or even mindless spending. And should you find yourself struggling to implement any “policy changes” during this cycle, at least you’ll gain more clarity about how you operate.

Your relationship mojo is back with a vengeance this Thursday, July 9 as Venus grooves into Virgo and your seventh house of committed partnership. If you're single, ease up a little on the hard-and-fast list of criteria, which can be hard with nitpicky Virgo ruling this area of your life. Your ideal match might be totally "off-type," so look—or in your case, FEEL—way beneath the surface into this person's very soul. With the love planet firing up your house of merging until August 6, a little open-mindedness can go a long way. Return a stranger's smile and respond to their opening gambit with more than a mumbled one-syllable reply. If you're in an LTR, follow Venus' harmonious lead and resolve to not sweat the petty stuff (remembering that, in the scheme of things, almost everything is small potatoes). Instead, channel your emotional energy toward a shared goal which could be the glue you didn’t know you needed this July!
