Weekly Horoscope: July 12 – 18, 2021

This week is full of retrogrades, but wait, don’t panic! It’s not Mercury retrograde (or any other personal planets for that matter), so stop hiding! Instead, two asteroids turn retrograde, one after the other. 

The first is Pallas, which retrogrades in Pisces on Wednesday. This could be a very emotional time because you may be feeling obsessed, frustrated, or overwhelmed. It’s time to break out the tissues. 

Emotions continue to run high on Thursday when Chiron retrogrades in Aries. Chiron is our wounded healer, and when it’s in retrograde our focus shifts to healing emotional wounds and practicing self-love. Go easy on yourself this week. Everyone is feeling a little emotionally frayed. 

The end of the week can be very positive—as long as you don’t let jealousy get the better of you—as the sun in Cancer opposes Pluto (planet of transformation) in Capricorn on Saturday. Be open to success and abundance without overthinking it and without letting fear override joy.
