Double check anything important. Enjoy a love fest around the 5th, whether single or attached.
Direct your energy toward family and the domestic sphere this month Scorpio. Use that laser-accurate intuition to navigate challenging relationships. Don’t doubt that feeling in your gut.

You’ve collected an amazing group of friends and this month they lend support in unexpected ways. Let them know how much they mean to you. Work will pretty much suck until the third week of August.
Stay home this month Sags. Travel plans are plagued with delays and cancellations. Give important documents a second look and pay extra attention to minutia. The Devil is in the details.
