Weekly Horoscopes: July 13-19
Free Weekly Horoscopes: This week kicks off the much anticipated ‘Barbault’s Basket’ configuration. During the period between July 15-26, Uranus sextiles Neptune and trines Pluto; Jupiter trines Neptune, sextiles Uranus and opposes Pluto; and Neptune sextiles Pluto. They are all in fire and air signs, and they all form the shape of a bowl or a basket (that becomes a cosmic, stable container for change). Because these outer planets move very slowly, this is extremely rare. So we need to tap into this portal of positive energy that signifies the launch of a totally new era: a transformational reset, personally and globally.

ARIES March 21-April 20
This week the New Moon and retrograde Mercury (both in Cancer) stimulate your home zone. So you can expect some domestic dramas, household hiccups and/or family frustrations. An extra pinch of patience and a wider perspective will get you through. Your motto for the moment comes from birthday great Nelson Mandela (who was born on July 18, 1919). “If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important.”
TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
Mercury is reversing through your communication zone (until July 24). So it’s not a good time to do important tasks involving the internet and social media. If you can’t avoid doing these things, then expect some of the following – dodgy deadlines, stressful delays, disruptions, mix-ups, misunderstandings; reversals and recalls. Mercury retrograde IS a good time to do things with an ‘re’ in front of them. Revise, rehearse, review, remember and reconnect.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This week – with dynamic Mars visiting your sign and Mercury (your patron planet) in retrograde mode – it’s time to be proactive about doing things with an ‘re’ in front. Revise, rehearse, remember, return, recover, reconnect, recommit – especially in areas involving personal projects and financial matters. Energy, confidence, enthusiasm and motivation will take you far, but you also need to relax, review old dreams and practice plenty of patience!
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Retrograde Mercury and the New Moon stir up your sign, so Crab confidence levels may be low, a loved one could let you down or an old resentment might resurface. If you don’t feel like apologizing, then don’t. And if you don’t feel comfortable asking someone for help, then don’t. It is a good time to brainstorm some original, creative ideas at work, but don’t put them into action until after July 24. Saturday favors taking a deep dive into your fertile imagination.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
Have you been questioning your dreams? Do you want to branch out in a brand-new direction? Take a step back and review things from a wider and more philosophical perspective. Doing good deeds will also leave you with a warm inner glow, so think up creative new ways you can help those who are less fortunate. Your motto is from birthday great, Nelson Mandela “There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others.”
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Mercury is reversing through your networking/peer group zone until July 24. So do your best to surround yourself with dependable, sensible, unflappable family members and close friends. And make sure you double-check all texts (before you press send) and all appointment times (before you leave home). It’s also a good idea to reset boundaries and expectations in a romantic, platonic or business relationship. Keep flexible because things are constantly changing!

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Things could get tricky at work, as Mercury continues reversing through your career zone. Some possible scenarios? Your boss gives you extra work with short (and stressful) deadlines; a colleague becomes very difficult to work with; or some staff are sick or take holiday leave, which increases your workload. Also, if you’re looking for employment (or want to change jobs) then don’t start sending applications out until after Mercury goes direct on July 24.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Expect delays, travel problems, holiday hitches and/or communication glitches this week as Mercury reverses through your aspirations and adventure zone. Avoid over-committing and promising more than you can realistically deliver. The more cooperative and consultative you are, the better. Your motto for the week is from birthday great, Nelson Mandela (who was born on July 18, 1919) .“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The week starts with a disruptive Venus/Uranus square, which could shake up an already unpredictable relationship (at home or work). And Mercury is in retrograde mode (until July 24). So financial partnerships, tax matters and deep, dark secrets must be handled with extra tact and care. Smart Sagittarians will double-check everything twice! The weekend is wonderful for sharing exciting times with faithful old friends and bohemian new acquaintances.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
There’s changeable, disruptive energy around, as the New Moon and retrograde Mercury activate up your relationship zone. Communication with a lover, relative, close friend, neighbor or work colleague could veer off in a confusing direction. Or something you say, text or post on social media could receive a disappointing response. So think before you speak and pause before you post! You’ll find the more proactive you are at work, the better the week will be.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Consider reviewing and renewing your diet and revising your fitness routine, as retrograde Mercury and the New Moon rev up your health and wellbeing zone. It’s important to choose nutritious food and regular exercise that you enjoy, so you can maintain healthy habits in the future. Your daily work schedule could be disrupted and feel like it’s going backwards. Or you could find yourself out of step with a colleague, client or customer.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The New Moon (and retro Mercury) activate your love, children and friendship zone. So a problem with a child could return, a romantic complication could resurface, or a controversial new friend could stir up your established peer group. Try to be extra understanding and patient until July 24, when Mercury turns direct. Courtesy of the terrific Uranus/Neptune link, a financial problem could suddenly be resolved when a relative comes to the rescue.
