WEEKLY HOROSCOPES: July 25-31, 2016
Welcome to Galore horoscopes, where we’ll advise you on whether to expect drama, chill vibes, hot sex, or all of the above over the coming week.
Peep your sign’s seven-day forecast, starting Monday and ending the following Sunday, below. Pro tip: instead of your sun sign, make sure to read your rising sign as it’s far more accurate.
ARIES
This week logical Mercury will enter Virgo, your sixth house of order and routine, which will give you a mental boost and help you plan out your activities. If you’ve been overindulging, this is a great time to properly plan out your day, detox or introduce a new healthy diet.
There is another very important planetary transit this week. Uranus the planet of non-conformity will be turning retrograde. The keywords for Uranus are: disruption, revolution and most importantly change. In astrology, this is the most unpredictable planet of our solar system. In 2011 Uranus has entered your sign and will be disrupting but at the same time making you more independent and individual than ever. Uranus will only leave your sign in 2018, so enjoy the ride and get your freak on.
When this planet turns retrograde you will be attracted to the weirdest and most unusual things, but overall during retrograde period there will be an inward kind of change and stimulation. The goal of Uranus is to find yourself and be true to yourself.
TAURUS
Expressive Mercury moves into Virgo, your fifth house of fun and games, which will make you extra creative. Use your hands to craft or paint. If in a relationship, you will want to chat and exchange new ideas with your partner. Sexy time starts in your head this week.
What is going on? Unpredictable, rebel planet Uranus is traveling through your 12th house of the unconscious. It’s been in that sector of your chart since 2011. The danger of this planetary transit is that you might hide your originality and inner genius, even more so when Uranus turns retrograde this week. The best thing for you to do now, if you haven’t yet, is trying to incorporate a meditation routine into your weekly schedule. Through yoga or t’ai chi, you’ll be able to crack the inner open and release your genius, just like Aladdin and his magical lamp. Don’t hide. The world needs your beautiful creativity.
GEMINI
You are ruled by Mercury, so you really need mental stimulation. When Mercury is in Virgo your mercurial sister, the current planetary energy flows favor you.
With exciting Mercury in your fourth house of home, people might randomly stop by your house and exchange ideas as you are such a fine conversationalist right now. It is also a lovely time to catch up with your parents or your siblings over some fruity summer wine.
When rebellious Uranus travels through your 11th house you tend to attract the craziest but certainly most interesting friends ever. This week Uranus turns retrograde, which will want you to reconsider a friendship which you thought was over or simply you could be bumping into old friends thanks to retrograde.
CANCER
Since 2011 you might have had some radical career changes, not quite knowing what to fully focus on, since you have so many interests and talents. Cancer being a water sign, you can merge into any kind of job you wish to have. When unpredictable Uranus turns retrograde in your 10th house of career and reputation, you might go back into a job or hobby you thought you said goodbye to ages ago. If you have a boss, they might be mental and crazy but very artistic. As long as we can laugh about life and not take everything too serious, everything will be fine.
Messenger planet Mercury is in its natural base in the third house of communication. Whatever conversations you plan on having, they are going to run ultra smooth. Plus, so many original ideas will pop into your head now. Are you thinking about taking a short trip? In general, it’s a favorable time now to learn a new skill or study. What a great planetary energy for your summer.
LEO
Talk about changing the beliefs you were raised with. When rebel planet Uranus turns retrograde in your ninth house of the higher mind, you are more likely to radically change your beliefs. It could also happen that you quit studying in order to pursue a course that fits you more. You might be questioning, what is education? Who should I believe in? Should I travel in order to expand my mind or stick to traditional methods?
You’ll be more charming than ever and super pro-fashion-al! With clever Mercury moving into classy Virgo, your second house of finances, dollar signs will be on your mind more than usual, therefore, you could be thinking of new strategies to improve your income. Soon you’ll be able to buy the precious things you wished for so dearly.
VIRGO
The Fifty Shades of Grey vibes are back. Eccentric Uranus is retrograding in your eighth house of deep sexuality and shared values. It is all about taboo breaking and exploring your raw sexuality. One day you’ll want to indulge in kinky games the next day you’ll be bored and instead feel like doing it in the woods. Virgo is not as virginal as everybody thinks, with Uranus in the mix you are a real rebel. Sexy.
Uranus wants to know why and Mercury in Virgo is very detail-oriented. Merge in that fiery Leo energy of speaking up and the dramatic flair – you’ll have a more intense week mentally. That is just the way you like it, since you are ruled by Mercury, so you really need to get turned on mentally as well. No problem, since your planet of the mind will enter your personal planet. You’ll be the master mind of the zodiac – the walking encyclopedia.
LIBRA
Have you been attracting rebels or people you might not always understand? Since 2011 revolutionary Uranus has been touring your seventh house of relationships and other people. Relationships may have started or ended out of the blue. This week the unpredictable planet turns retrograde, meaning that a lover from the past could resurface out of nowhere now. Uranus is a hard transit for peace loving Libras, since the lesson is to have more independent unconventional partnerships. The good news are that through a partner you can really find your inner genius. You won’t have to be scared to be freaky, since you will have full support from your partner.
Mental Mercury will be moving into your 12th house of the unconscious and hidden treasures. It’s an excellent time to eliminate mental baggage of any old issues that may have come up. Your energy turns inward, which is often very beneficial. Don’t let others distract you from your inward search.
SCORPIO
Ground shaker planet Uranus shows the way you seek freedom and how you express your individuality. When it hits your sixth house of daily routines and health, 9-to-5 jobs are really not for you anymore, especially since 2011. Your health can also have extreme up and downs, good and bad. Like you could quit a bad habit out of nowhere or as well start one. The choice is yours in the end. When Uranus turns retrograde you tend to go back to a recent job which you quit cause you simply thought you were working with idiots. Try to be more diplomatic and understand that not everybody can be on your level always, because that would bore you.
Be ready for surprises related to work or health. Surprises can be good especially during the magnitude mixture of powerful Mars still in your personal sign and clever Mercury in the upper sector of your chart which will be blooming and booming. The 10th house rules career and reputation and the 11th house is all about networking. It’s a prime time to start your venture. Sign up on Kickstarter, send out your resume, schedule interviews, or publish your new web page. Dream big! Some of your friends might have a job opportunity for you. Ask around, communication is key.
SAGITTARIUS
