Pisces Monthly Horoscope July 2018

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:

July 2018 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until July 22nd:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.

This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

From July 23rd forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.

It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 10th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From July 10th forward: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

All month: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.

You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.

Mercury is retrograde from July 25/26 to August 19th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It's a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.

This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of personal finances, income, possessions, comfort, and values. These areas might be ambiguous now, or cause for concern and anxiety for the time being. Reassessing these matters becomes necessary. This is a good time for taking a hard look at your budget. It's also a time for understanding how the management of your personal resources impacts your confidence in general.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar twelfth house during this period, your spirituality, private life, gut instincts, and intuition are affected. Perhaps you are not as confident about your hunches. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. Trusting your gut instincts may become an issue. Vague fears and anxieties need to be dealt with. Obsession with private matters or concerns about the past could be part of the picture. Your desire nature can be rather complicated now, and it can be difficult to find direct routes to satisfaction. Old resentments, hurts, and waves of anger can resurface. There can be lowered vitality, likely due to emotional frustrations and exasperation. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. This is a time for learning about how your mental health impacts your life.

Overview Horoscope:

July 2018 Pisces Horoscope Summary: Relating and creating are big themes for you in July, dear Pisces. This is a strong month for exploring creative urges, as well as for sharing your affection, joy, and experiences with others, as you seem to feed off others' responses. Reconnecting with old passions and hobbies can be in strong focus. A Solar Eclipse occurs in your enjoyment and self-expression sector on the 12th, bringing increased power to areas ruled by this sector, including romance, creativity, hobbies, entertainment, children, and pleasure. You gain more confidence and energy to go after your heart's desire as well as share and express yourself more freely.

You may be finding new ways to express and enjoy yourself that take you away from certain friends, networks, or groups, or the pressures of a long-term dream or plan or friendship can be strong at times. Some people could be letting you down now. If you've been holding on too tightly to people or projects that have been keeping you from expressing your true self, you'll be feeling the restriction and looking for ways to make changes, and expressing yourself creatively is in focus. As well, if you've been ignoring your needs for rest and reflection, you could be feeling especially drained and sensitive around the total Lunar Eclipse on the 27th.

While there are excellent aspects for relationships this month, Mars is retrograde all month and most of next, and slowing down, in general, is vital. This is a time for patience - working on building lasting connections and projects is highly favored. Brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground.

There are some inspiring aspects for the building of motivation and enthusiasm in July, particularly on creative or romantic lines. It's a good time for sharing ideas with others, rediscovering old interests and possibly even old romances or friendships, and for reviving or editing creative and publishing projects. Your outlook is especially constructive and optimistic, and your goodwill can attract the support, confidence, and cooperation of others. You express yourself comfortably and creatively. There can be a feeling of flowing with, rather than against, the people around you when the Sun in your creative sector forms a grand trine with your rulers, Jupiter and Neptune, from the 4-8. This can be a wonderful time for hobbies and leisure activities.

From the 10th forward, Jupiter turns direct in your solar ninth house after several months of retrograde motion, and you can experience an increase in motivation to pursue your studies, travels, and interests. You may be itching to develop skills. Matters related to publishing, higher education, law, and travel can turn a corner and are in strong favor once again until November when Jupiter will move to the top of your solar chart. Brush up on your skills and make connections until then.

Tensions for you this month tend to revolve around work-rest balance, emotional health needs, and friendships or collaborations. Stress related to work, duties, and service can be an issue. This is not an ideal time for gaining an edge in your job, as you are likely to feel that if you push too hard, you wind up at square one, or worse. Develop strategies for reducing stress or dealing with problem areas so that they don't fester.

From the 9th, Venus transits your partnership sector, forming especially sweet aspects and bringing opportunities for special enjoyment with a partner or close friend, as well as any other one-to-one connections. Particularly around the 11-12, 13-14, 21-22, and 27, you are in excellent shape for partnering up. You might enjoy an exceptional sense of stability and faithfulness in love and friendship. There is also a spirit of happiness, graciousness, and optimism in your relationships, attitude, and beliefs. Your generosity and openness endear you to others, and people return the favor. Good relations extend to fellow students, your audience if you publish, or a counselor now. Sharing ideas, plans, and visions with someone you care about can be particularly enjoyable. Promotional efforts can bring substantial rewards.

The 23rd brings the Sun into your work and health sector, stimulating extra attention to the functional side of your life. It's a good time for getting details sorted. Even so, Mercury turns retrograde on the 25/26 in the same sector, and there can be some delays or backing up to do now.

The total Lunar Eclipse on the 27th can pull up strong intuition. This eclipse occurs in alignment with retrograde Mars and can push troubled areas to the foreground for your attention. Desires and feelings are intense now. Restlessness with your current routines can be stimulated. Focus on doing your best instead of allowing a lack of direction to interfere with productivity. In time, direction and purpose will reveal themselves! Tame impatience, which can lead to messy situations. At the time of the eclipse, a Venus-Pluto aspect occurs that points you to a passion project or relationship that can motivate you to make essential changes. Support or inspiration from special people in your life can be wonderful at this time.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:

July 2018 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!

You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.

This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 19th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From July 19th forward: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until July 6th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.

From July 6th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.

Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.

You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

Mercury is retrograde from July 25/26 to August 19th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.

You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of personal finances, income, possessions, comfort, and values. These areas might be ambiguous now, or cause for concern and anxiety for the time being. Reassessing these matters becomes necessary. This is a good time for taking a hard look at your budget. It's also a time for understanding how the management of your personal resources impacts your confidence in general.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar eleventh house during this period, enthusiasm for generating business income, for working towards your higher goals and hopes, for group or community activities, and/or friendships may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some of you could be dealing with frustrations and buried anger with friends. Ambiguity in these areas of life may lead you to reassess your friendships, group endeavors and associations, or higher goals. There may be frustration with goals or dreams not manifesting soon enough, when in fact this retrograde period is strong for making important edits to your plans. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:

July 2018 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until July 12th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.

Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.

From July 12th forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks.

You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until July 28th: 

Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

From July 28th forward: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person!

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of personal finances, income, possessions, comfort, and values. These areas might be ambiguous now, or cause for concern and anxiety for the time being. Reassessing these matters becomes necessary. This is a good time for taking a hard look at your budget. It's also a time for understanding how the management of your personal resources impacts your confidence in general.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar eleventh house during this period, enthusiasm for generating business income, for working towards your higher goals and hopes, for group or community activities, and/or friendships may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life.

Overview Horoscope:

July 2018 Pisces Horoscope Summary: Relating and creating are big themes for you in July, dear Pisces. This is a strong month for exploring creative urges, as well as for sharing your affection, joy, and experiences with others, as you seem to feed off others' responses. Reconnecting with old passions and hobbies can be in strong focus. A Solar Eclipse occurs in your enjoyment and self-expression sector on the 12th, bringing increased power to areas ruled by this sector, including romance, creativity, hobbies, entertainment, children, and pleasure. You gain more confidence and energy to go after your heart's desire as well as share and express yourself more freely.

You may be finding new ways to express and enjoy yourself that take you away from certain friends, networks, or groups, or the pressures of a long-term dream or plan or friendship can be strong at times. Some people could be letting you down now. If you've been holding on too tightly to people or projects that have been keeping you from expressing your true self, you'll be feeling the restriction and looking for ways to make changes, and expressing yourself creatively is in focus. As well, if you've been ignoring your needs for rest and reflection, you could be feeling especially drained and sensitive around the total Lunar Eclipse on the 27th.

While there are excellent aspects for relationships this month, Mars is retrograde all month and most of next, and slowing down, in general, is vital. This is a time for patience - working on building lasting connections and projects is highly favored. Brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground.

There are some inspiring aspects for the building of motivation and enthusiasm in July, particularly on creative or romantic lines. It's a good time for sharing ideas with others, rediscovering old interests and possibly even old romances or friendships, and for reviving or editing creative and publishing projects. Your outlook is especially constructive and optimistic, and your goodwill can attract the support, confidence, and cooperation of others. You express yourself comfortably and creatively. There can be a feeling of flowing with, rather than against, the people around you when the Sun in your creative sector forms a grand trine with your rulers, Jupiter and Neptune, from the 4-8. This can be a wonderful time for hobbies and leisure activities.

From the 10th forward, Jupiter turns direct in your solar ninth house after several months of retrograde motion, and you can experience an increase in motivation to pursue your studies, travels, and interests. You may be itching to develop skills. Matters related to publishing, higher education, law, and travel can turn a corner and are in strong favor once again until November when Jupiter will move to the top of your solar chart. Brush up on your skills and make connections until then.

Tensions for you this month tend to revolve around work-rest balance, emotional health needs, and friendships or collaborations. Stress related to work, duties, and service can be an issue. This is not an ideal time for gaining an edge in your job, as you are likely to feel that if you push too hard, you wind up at square one, or worse. Develop strategies for reducing stress or dealing with problem areas so that they don't fester.

From the 9th, Venus transits your partnership sector, forming especially sweet aspects and bringing opportunities for special enjoyment with a partner or close friend, as well as any other one-to-one connections. Particularly around the 11-12, 13-14, 21-22, and 27, you are in excellent shape for partnering up. You might enjoy an exceptional sense of stability and faithfulness in love and friendship. There is also a spirit of happiness, graciousness, and optimism in your relationships, attitude, and beliefs. Your generosity and openness endear you to others, and people return the favor. Good relations extend to fellow students, your audience if you publish, or a counselor now. Sharing ideas, plans, and visions with someone you care about can be particularly enjoyable. Promotional efforts can bring substantial rewards.

The 23rd brings the Sun into your work and health sector, stimulating extra attention to the functional side of your life. It's a good time for getting details sorted. Even so, Mercury turns retrograde on the 25/26 in the same sector, and there can be some delays or backing up to do now.

The total Lunar Eclipse on the 27th can pull up strong intuition. This eclipse occurs in alignment with retrograde Mars and can push troubled areas to the foreground for your attention. Desires and feelings are intense now. Restlessness with your current routines can be stimulated. Focus on doing your best instead of allowing a lack of direction to interfere with productivity. In time, direction and purpose will reveal themselves! Tame impatience, which can lead to messy situations. At the time of the eclipse, a Venus-Pluto aspect occurs that points you to a passion project or relationship that can motivate you to make essential changes. Support or inspiration from special people in your life can be wonderful at this time.
