Weekly Horoscope: July 20 – July 26, 2020

The week begins with the new moon in sensitive Cancer, which can be an opportunity for a new beginning. This delightful lunar phase is helpful for kick-starting new initiatives that involve the family dynamic, such as decorating your home or adopting a new pet.

However, the new moon in Cancer also opposes cautious Saturn (planet of rules) in Capricorn, which suggests an eagerness to throw off some responsibilities and get a fresh start. As prudent Saturn continues its retrograde phase in Capricorn, it can be an opportunity to reconsider any plans that have changed over the past few months. Any new beginning can include a sense of liberation from too much work and feeling overwhelmed.

On Wednesday, the sun (planet of self) moves into Leo for four weeks, so the focus is on relaxing. Romance could figure strongly into the equation, as can spending time with friends and children.

Midweek, Mercury aligns with Uranus (planet of spontaneity)—bringing in some surprises related to technology and communication. You might hear from an old friend or… run into tech issues.
