  “But first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her in a fool’s paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior, as they say; for the gentlewoman is young; and therefore, if you should deal double with her, truly it were an ill thing to be off’red to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing.”

  Nurse to Romeo in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (II.iv.84)

  Horoscopes for 7-7-2026

  Cancer

  Birthdays are a great time to look back over the last year, and then, look forward at what’s ahead. The Moon enters Cancer at the very end of this horoscope, but technically, and therefore, in reality, it isn’t “new” just yet. That means this is about cleaning up, picking up, putting down, and placing everything away so you can see more clearly what the destination is supposed to be. In order to pick your way forward, the sign of the crab, the Moon Children have some metaphysical, metaphorical, mystical, mental rearranging to do. Or maybe it’s something as simple as housecleaning, sort of varies. I tend to think in terms of spiritual, perhaps grounded in reality, but some kind of birthday list of what’s happened, and how to move yourself forward in the next year, the month, the week after this one. Mercury, plus other contributing factors, make this a time when cleaning, sorting, and putting material away, in the real world or just in your brain, either way, that’s what works. Happy birthday, too.

  The Leo

  Some of my little Leo friends will find this improbable. Others? You can easily see this happening. The holiday is over, but the sentiments remain, and therefore? This next week, the weekend on approach and the following days, even? There’s a certain ability you have as just a Leo, like no other, and with no effort on your part? You “precipitate a crowd.” Just standing around, mind your own damn Leo business, with no effort whatsoever, and suddenly a crowd of onlookers, camp followers, gawkers, and rubberneckers starts to materialize. Problem: if this is a surreptitious Leo event? Maybe you don’t want a crowd of onlookers and adoring Leo fans. Don’t think you can be sneaky, not this week, remember, wherever you go, you attract thronging masses, when you least like it.

  Virgo

  A favorite piece of software updated. The first few uses, I didn’t think much was changed. Only later, much later, did I encounter that wrathful situation wherein a critical component of the way I work? That changed. I was not happy. For a few moments, I experienced that red-white hot rage of “They shouldn’t have changed that!” I didn’t like the changes, and I didn’t approve of any of the “new & improved” interface. Needlessly complicated. This is going to happen to you. In all probability, it’s an update that is supposed to make everything better. Only, to the discerning Virgo eye? It doesn’t. They broke the good stuff, enhanced the bad stuff, and now? None of this works properly. What can be done? Nothing. I started dinking around with it, made matters worse, hit the “blank screen of death,” got more pissed and then looked at the stars. Mercury, retrograde, Mars/Uranus square Venus just going into Virgo. I stopped, went out in the blistering summer heat, sweated a mile, then tended to the garden. Much better. In a few days, there will be an update to the update. It will get fixed, and until then? Is it really mission critical?

  Libra

  Having been through this before, I’ve seen a thing or two, and I’ve learned some tricks. Some of this isn’t new. Some of this is about merely living within one’s own means. Simple as that. Kind of a “First World” problem, but there is that, and it is where I live. There are a few — for example — grocery items I’ll buy in bulk. Coffee? Sure, and bottled water, sure, one store has the cheapest. Think: non-perishable dry goods. but other than that? I make an effort to not have too much on hand that is perishable. Unexpected coastal fishing trips, the call of the wild, and exigent family situations, all of this take a toll. That’s why, think, Libra, think, if it is perishable, do you need more than a few on hand? No more than what’s needed, just as a form of enforced economy.

  Scorpio

  “Buckle up, buttercup.” With Jupiter in a fixed sign, and then, the ongoing influences of Uranus in Gemini? There’s a bumpy ride ahead. It’s not bad for Scorpio, but as I’ve already admonished? “Buckle up buttercup.” While that expression, especially in a Scorpio mind, can be interpreted as darkly ominous? It’s not. Bumpy? Yes. Mild inconveniences? Sure. End of the (Scorpio) world? Not a chance. You’re made of stouter stuff. But there will be some immediate bumps, some confusions, and misdirection. Best answer? I think you know it by now, “Buckle up buttercup.” Another Scorpio suggests, “You wouldn’t.” Oh, but I would. I will. “Buckle up, buttercup.”

  Sagittarius

  I long developed my own tools, so to speak, and this starts a long time ago. On one particular brand of motorcycle, most of the models from that singular decade all required a special kind of wrench, and what we did at the shops? We would buy larger socket, just for that nut, and then, have the outside of the socket milled down, so it would fit in the tight space required. There was a factory tool, for this, as well, but the factory tool was branded and made in Europe, so it cost a lot more than I would deem necessary. A little know-how, and a satisfactory, working, work-around exists. It’s a simple example of making a tool that fits the specified job at hand. Looking at this week, in Sagittarius-land, there’s a special tool required. You can buy one, or you can make one. Another example? In the last dozen years, I’ve developed a way of working, using existing tools, that I’ve found to be very effective, and efficient. Use the tools at hand, but maybe tailor your work for yourself.

  Capricorn

  Lesson: learned. That I have made some mistakes in my life? Sure, I’ll readily admit that. That I can repackage one of my mistakes as a warning for Capricorn? Let’s try. If I commit it to “print,” it is subject to be dragged out, aired out, and displayed for all to see, in perpetuity, for all eternity. Just, as a warning, and with the memory of the inter-webs, these days? Even if I erased it? Someone, somewhere, will have a back-up copy, and that will get publicly played out, yet again. It’s a lesson I learned over and over, in a variety of format, and predates this career, but as a reminder? If your capricious Capricorn self commits it to “print,” digital ink, written format, pen, pencil, cave drawings, any format whatsoever? It can — and will — be used against you. Me? I just don’t write down the bad stuff — not if it can be used against me. Hint: that’s what you should do, not write down the bad stuff, Capricorn.

  Aquarius

  The way I see this one? Plus: this extends over the next ten days, maybe longer, kind of depends on your Aquarius selves, but the way it looks to me? I saw this is as office gossip, “Don’t tell anyone, but…” Then what follows? Usually salacious bit of useless intelligence about someone else, and does it really matter? Yes, and no, as in, it does matter, but you shouldn’t tell anyone else, respecting that vow of silence. I’ve found that the Aquarius elements in an astrology chart tend bend rules, and follow some kind of indecipherable Aquarian code. “I didn’t tell anyone, I told someone.” As we get close to Pluto and Jupiter opposing each other? That salacious bit of gossip, that state secret, that tidbit of useful but very private information? Keep it that way by not telling anyone. Even a casual comment on social media, a slip of the tongue, a mistaken address in a message format? Any of that can cause untold problems when it gets out. If it’s a secret? Just keep it a secret for now. Ten days? Sounds good?

  Pisces

  Economists and astrologers are lot alike. We work from macro trends to smaller and smaller, more discrete units until we can mange on a moment by moment basis. Part of the work is strictly scientific, the strictly fact-based, and part of the work is purely intuitive, hunches, ideas, “seen this before” scenarios, and from what I’ve seen? Some economists just make stuff up. I would never. Sometimes, though, my source data’s is questioned. Saturn, in Aries, Mercury, Retrograde in Cancer, and others. Moon almost, but not quite, “new.” Jupiter in Leo, Venus going into Virgo. Spells out more of the same, for Pisces. Changes are underway, even now, but should Pisces act on those changes? No. Time to sit back and watch this crap unfold, around us, instead of to us. Actions, reactions, and timed events? You are best served just holding that in a single place, as best you can. Plus? Don’t spend any money.

  Aries

  I’ve explained, over and over, how I carried a copy of the King James Bible, and a King James (translation) of the Koran. Neither one I believe in, too much, but when I get quoted from one or the other, I can access a copy of that religious tract and see what it says, in the archaic, stilted, Jacobean language that is sometimes poetic, but often just hard to read. Sometimes? Harder to understand the point. However, in this example, it’s perfect. Two religious tracts that claim to be the beginning and the end of all questions, and I can weigh one against the other. Or not. This is about going back to the original, source material, and accessing that data for you Aries self. Don’t trust an intermediary to “interpret” the material for you, look at the original sources. Better yet? Look at the originals in the original language. Why I made those selections, to begin with.

  Taurus

  It’s all a matter of focus. Direction, intention, what demands immediate attention, what can be put off, and what is that one thing you meant to fix, but didn’t, and now it’s back? That’s where the focus probably should be. However, given the desultory state of the planets, the moon phase, and all? Maybe make a plan to make a plan, and outline some goals, destinations, possible targets you want to hit, but then? Maybe now, isn’t the time. Maybe now isn’t the best time. Plan, plot, look through the eyes of time, and think about what needs to get done, but maybe, just a suggestion, maybe this isn’t the best time to take action on those ideas. “I thought this was going to be a good idea,” and it’s not? Get the hint? Good idea to pursue possibilities.

  Gemini

  Mars does not deal in subtleties. Cancer, the Moon children do. Gemini needs it spelled out. Moon Children, the sign of the crab, they don’t. This week stacks up with two problematic elements, the obvious, of course, is Mercury Retrograde. Then, too, there’s the pesky Moon Sign, phases of the moon, to be precise, ending near new, but not there yet. Subtle nudges are what comes through, and none of these are bound to feel correct, and therein is the Gemini conundrum. How to differentiate between what’s right, what’s wrong, what feels correct, but might not be, and what is the best answer? Since my subtle suggestions seem not to work? Gemini: second and even third-guess your own answers. The crab people may be sure, but the Gemini people are not.
