Intuitive Astrology July 2019

Mercury will go retrograde on July 7th through July 31. Traditionally, retrogrades in Leo impact those in power: leadership; governments, rulers, presidents, as well as companies and organizations and the individuals who run them. This Leo retrograde begins with a Cancer pre-shadow, so the actions and the response of the people or the governed will have an immediate an effect on all moving forward. It will feel like Midsummer Night’s Dream for most, but summer is just getting started. Don’t be alarmed, just know this phase is only but a moment and will soon pass.

Mercury Retrograde at the Personal Level

Traditionally, when Mercury goes in retrograde, we can expect issues with communications. This can be with any means: verbal, through correspondence (a glitch with the postal service or delay with an Amazon delivery—hey, it can happen), or with technical means (i.e. cell towers or cable down, so emails and text messages don’t go through and are not received.). I like to think it also reveals a shadow or disowned component in our own awareness, interaction with others and with the world around us.

Remember that Mercury rules the signs Gemini and Virgo. During this time, you find that it will impact some individuals more than others: some may be a little prickly and hostile, while others, more pleasant and docile. Some may jump to conclusions and want to pick a fight, while others, will become more hopeful. Go slow, choose your battles wisely and remember this time gives us a chance to think, be more mindful of ourselves and those around us, and take a leap of faith in some instances.


Cancer (June 22 – July 22) —Happy birthday Cancer! This month, you will be hit the hardest with the Mercury Retrograde cycle. Try not to let it affect you too much, my dear crab. Remember that this month, emotional buttons can be easily pressed. It is up to you if you want to react. If you are single, you may have trouble finding a balance between a relationship and work. You may feel overwhelmed. Everyone may be demanding too much of your time right now. Help anyone who truly needs you, but also take time for yourself. You may have to pull back in order to give more. Don’t neglect yourself by being overly concerned with taking care of the feelings of others. Don’t ignore key hints or ‘tells’ that let you know something is off or not quite right.

Leo (July 23 – August 23) —When the Lion or Lioness acts out of pride or feels the need to make the “grand gesture,” he/she/they may overlook unforeseen consequences. Try not to be over-generous with your time or support. You may find yourself juggling schedules and priorities. When caught by pride, my proud Leo, you can be at risk for taking on tasks beyond your experience or abilities. Don’t be overconfident: I know you can do anything, but don’t put yourself at risk by letting the dice fall where it may. Also, this month: you will have an opportunity for fun, and romance. Take pleasure even in the mundane activities of your everyday life and share your energy with those around you.

Virgo (August 24 – September 22) —Mercury rules Virgo, and thus there is much greater sensitivity to the retrograde cycle. During this period do not let yourself have tunnel vision with  projects at work or at home. Don’t rush whatever the task, otherwise, you will overlook the best solutions. Remember that the most creative solutions reveal themselves when you have an open mind. A friend, coworker or partner appreciates your opinion and ideas, helping to give you the much-needed confidence to take that next step—whatever that may be. This month, single Virgos are the charming all, and coupled Virgos are more interested in quiet moments of candlelight, wine and walks on the beach; while creating a special evening of romance.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) —This month, avoid conflicts at all cost. It will be difficult. But smile. Exercise. Go to the shore. Read a book at the beach. Do not get pulled into anyone else’s drama. Trust me on this. This retrograde will impact you as well, dear one. Another contribution toward the retrograde cycle can occur through delaying action, not taking the initiative or avoiding confrontation: thus, not addressing certain matters that may lead to difficulties later on. It’s a fast month. Enjoy the actual fireworks—don’t be part of them.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) —This month, little Scorpio, it is important for you to learn to clear and let go of any/all emotional baggage. Let go of the drama in your life. It will help you be more present and be more engaged with “your people,” whether school, work or at home. Do not let emotions cloud or disrupt what you value. Also, boundaries are good. Set them and have others honor them and respect you. Of course, when Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio, all of the above becomes more significant. Self-assurance is different from being vain. You excel among people that refuse to judge you. Creative people find the perfect incentive to embrace a new style. Romance on a budget is sometimes more fun than with unlimited funds; you learn how to be more inventive.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 22) —During the Mercury Retrograde cycle do not ignore the little things. As they say, “God is in the detail,” and this is especially true for you this month. For you, double and triple check your work. Confirm everything. Focus on checking and asking others for their input. Ignore the false sense of just “knowing.” Confirm, confirm, confirm. Often the hint for sun in Sagittarius that their sense of knowing is incorrect occurs when the choice is made to ignore checking the facts. Singles should put their powers to good use this month: take a leap and arrange a first date with someone you find especially interesting. You never know: a quick coffee could turn into a whole lot more.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) —Dear Capricorn, micromanaging, and not allowing the full expression and input of others can cause great distress this month. If you continue on this way, it will not end well. Mistakes and errors will follow when people feel used or do not feel well treated. Put aside your own feelings or best interests. Instead, this month, focus on bettering yourself. Find an activity. Join a group. Connect with others you don’t already know. This will enable you to grow both emotionally and mentally, and help you express yourself in ways you’ve never imagined. This retrograde for you, is about self-awareness.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 19) —There are several things that you need to be mindful of in order not to set yourself up during the Mercury Retrograde cycle. Often the issue is about the need to reestablish a sense of rightfulness and freedom. Do not let yourself get caught up feeling trapped, held back or challenged. Especially at the beginning of the retrograde cycle, it is important for cool heads to prevail and to recheck if a decision or course of action is beneficial or needs to be revisited and adjusted. This month, you will find that both colleagues and clients  have never seen anyone with such a passionate style. Seize this moment and reap the rewards before the novelty wears off. You'll knock someone's socks off with your wit and intuition. For singletons, this month, you may find yourself venturing into a new relationship. Don't wear your heart on your sleeve until you know exactly who it is, you're showing it to. Couples should try not to be too critical. This may lead to pointless bickering. If you have some real issues, make sure they stay on track.

Pisces (February 20 – March 20)—Do not let others absorb your energy and emotions. Negative patterns put Pisces at risk of being more confused, and clouds their judgments and purpose. It is important for Pisces to reestablish themselves by tuning to their own spirit and feelings in order to retain clarity. This month, be ready to have a plan with tangible steps toward action. Do not trust that things will turn out okay, because remember, it is the (insert scary music) Mercury Retrograde, and that trust may be misplaced. Singles will be supercharged early in the month if their focus is getting to know someone new and potentially very special. In fact, you may not be able to focus on much else. For couples, make plans to spend quality time together.

Aries (March 21-April 20)—Try not to set yourself up for challenges with the Mercury Retrograde cycle. Keep a steady focus while defining your objectives. You are more likely to react seeking independence through impulsive actions and rash decisions, leading to carelessness and mistakes. The easiest way to understand a big issue is to see how it may affect you. You can respect others and still avoid getting tangled up in their affairs. Cautious optimism is your best bet for now. You may feel caught up in the fun of a new relationship but do not lose your perspectives. Your heart is in good hands, so spend your love instead of your pennies. Let your sweetie know you love them by showering them with special attention.  

Taurus (April 21-May 21)—This month, for you, it will be all about positive growth and change, both on the career and home fronts. During this mercury retrograde be sure to set defined boundaries. It will help to follow on your path of goals. Take some time for yourself to re-energize, regroup and reconnect with you. Then, do so with your loved ones. The earlier this can happen, you will find your mind more at peace, and your heart, fuller. If in a relationship, spend more time talking, laughing and enjoying the outdoors and each other instead of watching a movie or running errands. You will find you are both and the relationship is better for it.

Gemini (May 22- June 21) —Mercury rules Gemini, you will have a greater sensitivity to Mercury Retrograde cycles where it applies to communication, local travel and scheduling. Be sure to fact check everything this month. Also, it is important to recognize opinions that pose as facts, but are mere hearsay and false beliefs. The first few days of this month will rough for those in relationships.  Emotions may seem to be running high. Instead of giving in to an impulsive struggle for control over your emotions, stop thinking so much and just relax. Singles may want to withdraw from the social scene and examine their priorities. You'll feel the weight of responsibilities keeping you from acting on your own, but don't despair. Determination and confidence will pay off in the long run, and a little opposition keeps you on your toes.
