Rockie Weekly Horoscope July 20 through 26

Back to Daily Forecast

Make hay, in your case money, while the sun shines. Having your Mars ruler in earthy Taurus adds muscle to your determination to rake in the big bucks. Remember: This is a once-every-two year transit, not a benefit you can rely on indefinitely. Come early August Mars moves into airy, intellectual Gemini and exposes you to a different set of circumstances -- more choices, more deliberation. Right now, seriously consider offers from associates and acquaintances, even the ones that seem too vague, artsy or overly idealistic.

Think about teaming up with an Aries. While Mars, that sign’s ruling planet, is in Taurus, the independent, impetuous Ram might be willing to take instruction in the game artful Bulls play so well. Even though this window of opportunity is scheduled to close in a few weeks, the additional burst of energy you receive right now could be all you need to seal the deal, the one that’ll put a spiffy shine on your good name. Athletes and artists have the best shot, but candidates for surgery (an activity ruled by bloody Mars) also do well.

Solar Leo is usually a good time for Twins; starting Sunday, four weeks to relax and enjoy the playful vibes the generous fire sign gives off. The celebratory Lion also lets you to think about other topics than those in your financial zone. However, because your Mercury ruler will be in Cancer for another two weeks, one money matter could still concern you. Let’s hope that during Mercury retrograde, you received new information, so that by now, you’ve revised your opinion about your options. If not now, perhaps next weekend.

The birthday celebration season comes to an end Sunday night, but until the sun actually switches over to Leo, feel free to hog the spotlight. You’ll also be encouraged to speak your mind as long as Mercury remains in Cancer, another two weeks. After that, it might be difficult to trust your gut reaction; that’s when you’ll have to be absolutely, positively certain that you know what you’re talking about. Right now would be a good time to gather some fact-checkers, the folks who’ll stand by you as you’ve stood by them.

Yes, your Highness; your subjects are aware that Lions think the entire summer is a part in their domain, even though solar Leo doesn’t officially begin until Sunday night. It must have been the recent six-week trip Venus made through your sign that pressed the point home. Well, if your appeal seems to be fading, not to fret. The goddess will be back, retrograde in Leo on August 8, and she won’t leave you in the lurch again until October 8 when she reenters Virgo and reactivates a money matter you’re involved with now.

Only the August-born Virgin will miss the attention flirtatious Venus has been heaping on you the past week. The rest of the crew will have to wait until mid-October before they can benefit from the good loving and good luck the goddess bestows. What to do in the meantime? Take advantage of the activity being directed toward your life partner and/or coworkers from masculine Mars. These are the folks who’ll gladly cut through crap so you can have a cleaner shot at achieving your own career success. Mostly work for a while, not much play.

Because nurturing Cancer rules your career midheaven, summer might be vacation time for some signs, but not for Librans. Your job is to go to parties and network like crazy, especially after your Venus ruler turns retrograde on the 27th. That’s when the notable names and faces you were involved with in June show up again. Invitations to participate in group efforts, be they purely social, purely political or a combination of the two, may be harder to turn down than you think. No arm-twisting, but appealing inducements nonetheless.

It’s not you, it’s them; them being the people who are in partnership with you this week. They are the ones bringing physical energy and a down-to-earth attitude to the arrangement that your Mars co-ruler has forged. While the red planet transits through your Taurus marriage house, i.e., until August 6, you’ll continue to rise to the challenge, the high bar these partners have set. Will it hurt? Only if you’re out of shape or, because it’s summertime, you insist on lazing on the grass, sitting on your ass by the pool keeping cool.
