There is a new moon in Cancerian’s first house of self and attitude on the 20th of July. While this does provide Cancerians with new insight into their career needs, before this period, you may face some difficulty and obstacles. You should learn to steel yourself and not be hasty in making decisions. You have to keep a cool head and pick your battles carefully. It is a good idea if you have a team of strong partners around you, however, you should consider those locally, as overseas communications may face problems both in terms of time management and misunderstandings. Be patient and move forward cautiously, do not retreat totally in your shell, but keep room for when you need to meditate and think over problems.

This month’s energy leads Leos to feel as if they are trapped when it comes to their career and work life. You may feel as if there is no more room for you to grow or that your current line of work is no longer fulfilling.

This is just another in your journey to success.

This is a hectic and busy time, however, if you can work hard, you can make the best out of any situation. That doesn’t mean that it will be easy, however. On the contrary, you may find yourself faced with issues with no simple fix. You may be tempted to slap a band aid on an issue and call it a day, but without looking deeper into the core of the matter, it is likely to resurface and bother you again in future. You must learn to hunker down and see things through to the end. The Sun is still in Libra’s 10th house of career, therefore expect some fierce competition this month. If you want to claim your success, you must fight for it.

This month empowers the Scorpio with a fire when it comes to your career, however, you must be cautious about how you proceed. A Scorpio’s tongue can be as sharp as their wit and it is easy to say something or make a decision without first considering the consequences. Remember Mercury’s retrograde still continues on into the first half of this month. It’s energy can bring about disagreements and miscommunications at work. This is not a good period to just bulldoze your way through.
Instead, you must reign yourself in and proceed with a more diplomatic and detailed touch. You may even have to walk on eggshells for a few weeks around your colleagues and bosses.
