(July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Be patient with a partner or close friend today. The Moon is opposite Mercury in your sign, and this can trigger petty squabbles. Fortunately, relations with friends, as well as groups, are warm, friendly and mutually rewarding. You win some, you lose some. Tonight: Enjoy privacy.

Cosmic beings, this is the week to slow down, not speed up. Retrograde season officially kicks into high gear as Saturn, the Planet of Responsibility, begins its retrograde in Aries on Sunday, July 13th at 12:07 a.
