 Forgetful? Some of us are elephants who never forget, and some of us would forget our heads if they weren't attached The best, longest memories go to Capricorn/Saturn/10th house and Cancer/Moon/4th house. Multiple planets in these signs or houses, or a prominent Saturn or Moon (like conjunct the Sun, in the 1st house, on an angle, a singleton) can show you have a better memory, especially long -term memory. With Cancer, the 4th house, and the Moon, it's especially if something impacts you emotionally. It's hard to forget anything then.
Short-term memory is ruled by Gemini, Mercury, and the 3rd house. Multiple planets in Gemini or the 3rd house or a prominent Mercury can show a good short-term memory. BUT this trio can also leave you scatterbrained, so you forget things very quickly. Saturn, the Moon, Mercury, or 3rd, 4th, or 10th house cusps at a critical or anaretic degree can show difficulty with memory, forgetting everything, or taking in too much. Neptune in hard aspect to Saturn, Mercury, Sun, or Moon, in the 1st, 3rd, or 10th houses, or very prominent in the chart can also make memory difficult since Neptune rules illusion, delusion, and the mental fog that gets in the way or remembering things.  For us northern hemisphere folks, summer is upon us and it's the season of summer fun. The 5th house is the house of fun, and governs what we enjoy in our lives. What exactly you enjoy is determined by the sign on the cusp and any planets in the house. These are from the 5th house page:
The 5th House in the Signs 5th House in Aries You need lots of physical activity in your free time, and prefer hobbies that keep you physically active. You enjoy your hobbies immensely, and need plenty of time to dedicate to them. You may prefer hobbies that you can pursue alone, without the help of anyone. In love, you like to take charge. You can be short-tempered with children, lacking patience, and your own children can be high energy and willful. 5th House in Taurus You have an appreciation for beauty, and prefer hobbies that stimulate your senses. Free time for you can consist of just lounging around and being lazy. In love, you require lots of affection, and want someone to dote on you. You can spoil your children, give them lots of material items, but have a hard time dealing with them if they turn out to be very different from you. 5th House in Gemini You prefer intellectual hobbies, ones where you can utilize your mind, especially in creative ways. In love, you like variety, and will date around before you decide to settle down with anyone. You need love to be fun, light, and carefree. You can bring out the intellectual potential in your children, and they can have sharp, active minds, need variety, and have many interests. 5th House in Cancer You’re not one for light-hearted affairs, and prefer hobbies that are comfortable, comforting, or domestic, like cooking or knitting. You can have a secret creative side to you though, and can find it easier to express yourself through creative ventures. In love, you’re quite emotional, and need to learn how to manage that before you have a healthy relationship. You’re protective of your children, and nurture and support them. 5th House in Leo You need hobbies that allow you to express yourself, especially in creative ways. You can closely identify with your hobbies and your creative side. In love, you can be dramatic and affectionate, and need constant attention from your partner. You’re romantic and want love to be like in the movies. You adore your children, and encourage them to be the best that they can be. 5th House in Virgo You don’t do things on a whim, and prefer quiet hobbies and activities. You do a lot of planning before you let yourself have any fun, and prefer hobbies that use up some of your mental energy. In love, you’re picky, and don’t want to settle for anything less than your perfect mate. You take a logical, analytical approach to dating. You can be too critical of your children, and need to be more understanding. 5th House in Libra You prefer hobbies where you can do things with other people. You may be creative, but you need other people to tell you that you’re talented in order for you to think that about yourself. You try to strike a balance between work and play. In love, you need someone who is charming and polite, but you can have a hard time choosing someone. You’re fair with your children, and try to understand them as well as you can. 5th House in Scorpio You’re interested in getting to the heart of subjects and people, and prefer hobbies where you can do research and figure out mysteries. Science can be of interest. Whatever your hobbies are, you can get obsessed with them at times. In love, too often you want to change your partner, and are overly emotional or possessive. You need a cooler head. You’re protective of your children, but can have a hard time letting them go. 5th House in Sagittarius You love fun, and need to have time in your life for your hobbies and to do whatever you want. You’re someone that everyone wants to spend free time with because it’s going to be a grand adventure. In love, you don’t take it too seriously and can be hard to pin down. You want to roam free for a while. You treat your children with respect and understanding, but can spoil them at times. 5th House in Capricorn You can view your free time as simply more time for you to get work done. You don’t let yourself have fun as much as you should. Letting loose is difficult for you when young. Your creative side may not come out until you’re older. In love, you’re practical and take your time, not wanting to rush into anything and knowing you don’t need to. You’re strict with your children, but you can also teach them a lot. 5th House in Aquarius Your hobbies tend to be unusual in some way, and you do things that are radically different from everyone else. You’re up for experimentation, and willing to try almost anything once. In love, you like to keep it casual for a while, preferring friendship first, and aren’t much of a conventional romantic. You let your children be independent and original, and they may be rebels. 5th House in Pisces You need hobbies that allow you to fully express your creativity, but it can be difficult for you to figure out what you should do. You need to remove any blocks and let yourself go. In love, you can have a hard time figuring out what you want, and be attracted to people who need to be saved or who will save you. You’re willing to do whatever it takes for your children, but you can sacrifice too much. Natal Planets in the 5th House Natal Sun in the 5th house With your natal Sun in the 5th house, expressing yourself in some way is of the utmost importance to you. If you don’t feel as though you’re truly expressing yourself, you feel stifled and unhappy. You want to be seen and heard, and to get attention from others, so you’re drawn to the spotlight, and can go into the arts, especially theater, film, or sports. You tend to have a happy personality and you’re so pleasant to be around that you’re always surrounded by people. You like being social, having many acquaintances you can spend time with, and love going to parties, out to dinner or shopping, and having fun. You also want to have and be loved in your life, and that can drive you in many ways. Natal Moon in the 5th House This can be a highly creative placement. The Fifth House loves to create things, and with the Moon here, it becomes an emotional need to create. This usually manifests as artistic creativity, and many actors, singers, artists, and the like have Fifth House Moons or prominent Fifth Houses. Hobbies can be central, and you need a certain amount of time to be able to pursue your own interests, otherwise you won’t be a happy camper. Expressing yourself is something that you feel you absolutely have to do or you’ll just burst apart, and there may be times where you’re quite the drama queen. A Fifth House Moon is also usually good with children, though you may become attached in unhealthy ways. You’re also very emotional in romantic relationships, and can become attached to romantic partners quickly, so be sure to choose people wisely before you really get involved. There’s nothing wrong with being friends first, though some of you may have a hard time not being in a relationship, being “in love with love.” You can also be easily influenced by other people, so you may need to learn to be more discriminating. Those with very difficultly aspected Moons may have to watch for problems with gambling and negative risk-taking. Natal Mercury in the 5th House With your natal Mercury in the 5th house, you can be a lively communicator. You have a great sense of humor, and are a fun person to be around. This is an excellent position for a comedian, impersonator, or actor. You can also be good at lying, and don’t see it as a negative thing. You can also make a good writer or speaker with your flair for words. If you have children, you want them to be intellectually talented. In love, you’re attracted to people who have strong intellectual abilities and connect with you mentally. Mercury is a dual planet, so this can show being attracted to or in love with two people at once. You can also play the field, or be drawn to people younger than yourself. Natal Venus in the 5th House With your natal Venus in your 5th house, love is important to you, and you crave attention and affection. You always have a crush on someone, and your approach is light and playful. The kid in you is always ready to play. You find pleasure in indulging your senses, and you’re attracted to the arts, and may be quite creative yourself. You may be a little too dramatic at times in love, but it’s an attempt to get more attention. With your charm, they’ll give you plenty, so you don’t need to go overboard. You tend to be good with kids, and you give lots of affection to your children. Natal Mars in the 5th House With your natal Mars in your 5th house, you’re a highly creative person and have a lot of energy for your hobbies, and you may have a lot of hobbies. You may love sports or have athletic ability. You can be child-like at times, competitive, and have a lively personality, always wanting to perform for people. You could be inclined towards show business because of that. Love and romance are important for you, and you’re always trying to have more of it in your life. If you have children, they can have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, a little Mars energy. Natal Jupiter in the 5th House With your natal Jupiter in your 5th house, you’re likely very creative, and focused on your hobbies and the things that you enjoy. You want to do what you want, when you want, and aren’t a fan of responsibility. You can date a lot since the 5th house rules love and romance, and believe that you’re in love all of the time, falling in and out of love many times, and not taking it all that seriously. The 5th house also rules children, so you could have many children, be like a parent to many children, or have children that display Sagittarius traits. Natal Saturn in the 5th House With your natal Saturn in your 5th house, you have a hard time having fun or being spontaneous. You’re not a party animal. Something holds you back and stops you from having the kind of fun that you’d like to have. Once you remove that block, you can learn to let loose and enjoy yourself. Until then, you’re serious and all about work. You can have a dud of a love life, not being all that romantic, and don’t like dating too much. You have more conservative views when it comes to dating, and just need to find someone who feels the same way, and who doesn’t mind your serious nature. The 5th house rules children, so for some, this could mean having children who are Saturn-like (serious, responsible, mature, or restricted), having difficulty having children, or having them later in life. Natal Uranus in the 5th House With your natal Uranus in your 5th house, you’re creative and like to do things your own way. Change comes easy for you, and it’s almost inspirational. The 5th house rules love, and you can date unusual people, have unusual relationships, start relationships fast and end them just as quickly, and be attracted to original people. You need a certain amount of freedom in love, otherwise you’ll run away when you feel stifled. You’re charming and can attract many suitors, though you can keep them at a distance emotionally. Your hobbies may be unconventional, and you go into everything you try with enthusiasm. If you have children, they can be unusual, original, innovative, or rebellious. Natal Neptune in the 5th House With your natal Neptune in your 5th house, you’re creative and artistic, and are easily inspired. You want to express yourself creatively or through the arts, and this is a good placement for an artist, musician, or actor. You’re a compassionate person when it comes to children, and can care for them. When it comes to love, you’re romantic and dreamy, having a perfect version of what you want in your mind, and that may have a hard time translating into real life. You may have trouble seeing romantic partners for who they really are, and fall for people who are no good for you, who tear you down, or who you need to save. You need to lower your expectations and not bring so much chaos into your love life. Natal Pluto in the 5th House With your natal Pluto in your 5th house, you’re a highly creative person and put a lot of time and energy into your creative pursuits, as long as you don’t let fear hold you back. You’re passionate and intense in love, and tend to be attracted to powerful people, but need to be careful of being trapped in love relationships that have unhealthy power and control issues. You can be jealous in love, making you possessive. You don’t take matters of the heart lightly. You can also be passionate about having children. If you have no planets in your 5th house, that doesn't mean you're a fuddy-duddy or will never have fun. It just means you have less in the way of you having fun when you want to, and you manifest the sign on the cusp more purely. When your 5th house is activated in transit, you can enjoy life more, spend more time on your hobbies, and take more time for fun. This can be seen with a transit planet touring through your 5th house (though not so much with Saturn!), a transit aspect to the 5th house cusp, or a transit aspect to the 5th house ruler, or to a planet in the 5th house. Progressions can trigger fun times as well, just like transit planets can, by going through your 5th house or making aspects. August 2015 Full & New Moons: New Moon in Leo & Full Moon in Pisces
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism. For information on how the new/full moons may impact your sign, read the monthly horoscope. August 14th 2015 New Moon in Leo A new moon occurs at 10:53AM ET at 21 degrees 30 minutes of Leo. In Leo, we want to have fun, enjoy ourselves, and goof off. We play hooky and get away from work so we can start vacations early, get an early start on the weekend, and have more time to play. Our inner child wants to come out, and we want to focus on our hobbies and the things we take pleasure in. We can be flirty, date more, and keep love casual. This new moon is conjunct (in the same spot as) transit (moving) Venus, which is retrograde (appearing to move backward) in Leo. Love certainly is on our minds, and we focus on our love relationships, all of the good and all of the bad in them. This new moon is also trine (positive aspect) transit Uranus in Aries, and we want to try something new, go against the grain, and be ourselves. If you're a Leo Sun, Moon, or late Leo rising, you may feels the effects of this moon most. August 29th 2015 Full Moon in Pisces A full moon occurs at 2:35PM ET at 6 degrees 6 minutes of Pisces. In Pisces, we’re so sensitive that we bruise like a peach. We feel every hurt more deeply, and we try to hide it, but it only gets worse. We care so much, too much, and we feel not only for ourselves, but for others as well. We want to save everyone from everything, but we ignore ourselves and end up needing to be saved as well. Our subconscious mind can become stronger, and we focus on old issues, the past, karma, and baggage that needs to be let go of. We’re sensitive to the world around us, to subtle shifts in energy, and so our intuition is heightened, and we should listen to our gut. We could see something come out regarding water, poisoning, or drugs. If you’re a Pisces Sun, Moon, or rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most. General horoscopes are always meant for entertainment purposes only. For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Moon sign, and Rising sign.
Aries July 2015 Horoscope On July 8th, Mercury enters water sign Cancer, and you can understand the emotions in situations more easily now. You seem to know what people are feeling regardless of what they’re saying, and can feel emotions behind every word they say. You’re tuned in to the emotions of others and of yourself, which is good for helping you to be more understanding, but you can lack objectivity. If anything impacts you emotionally now, you’ll remember it for a very long time, and you can spend time thinking about old memories that you’re fond of and make you feel good. This can be a good time to communicate clearly with your family, or have better communication at home. On July 22nd, the Sun enters fellow fire sign Leo, and you feel most like yourself when you’re doing the things you enjoy most in life. You want to spend time on your hobbies, be creative, use your imagination, and let out your inner child. You prefer to focus on the positives, not wanting to get bogged down by serious matters, and want to laugh, enjoy yourself, and be merry. You may come across as friendlier, funnier, or more theatrical. Mercury joins the Sun in Leo on July 23rd, and you can come up with creative solutions to ideas, and have plenty of focus for creative projects and ventures, but don’t care much for the little stuff. The details and the mundane tasks aren’t something you’re interested in. You can be more theatrical with your manner of speaking, and command an audience when you talk and tell stories. You want to share your good feelings with others. On July 18th, Venus enters earth sign Virgo, and you can enjoy focusing on work, the details, and are more analytical in love, but Venus won’t stay in Virgo for very long, so you might not feel much of it. Venus turns retrograde on July 25th. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our view here on Earth. With Venus retrograde, we can lack love for things and desire, and for you, while in Virgo, you can lack any focus on work or attention to detail, are much lazier in your daily life, and have less love for your work. Venus retrogrades backward into Leo on July 31st, joining the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in Leo, so the Virgo impact won’t last long, and you’ll mostly feel the retrograde in Leo. You may want to focus on your hobbies too much, forgoing any work and just wanting to indulge in play. You can be a little too theatrical in love, be a little too jealous, or have too much pride. You can be creative, but you have to force yourself to focus, otherwise the creative energy goes nowhere. If you can stir up enough drive and energy, you can work through the retrograde, but you really have to push yourself. This retrograde lasts until early September. On July 26th, Uranus turns retrograde in your sign, Aries, and over the coming months, you can feel that life is too stale and boring and you desperately want change, or feel that things have changed too much and you desperately want it to slow down. Think about the changes that have been made and about the ones you want to make for now. On July 1st, a full moon occurs in earth sign Capricorn, and you can see rewards for the hard and smart work you’ve put in toward your goals, and achieve a goal or come much closer to it. If you’ve been irresponsible or haven’t worked hard, you can experience setbacks with your goals. You’re focused on where you want to be in life, the direction your life is taking, and who you aspire to be. Are you any closer now than you were a year ago? On July 15th, a new moon occurs in Cancer, and you can begin a new project at home, have a real estate transaction, or move, or do something new with family like a gathering or vacation. You can connect with family, or those you think of as family, and are presented with opportunities through them, or see them presented with opportunities that you support them with. Being nurturing, supportive, and encouraging can be as beneficial to you as it is to others with this new moon. On July 31st, we have a second full moon in July, occurring in air sign Aquarius, and you can settle a dispute with a friend, become closer to a friend, or end a friendship. You can take on a bigger role in a group you belong to, or leave a group. You can become more involved with a cause, or abandon it. Your dreams can be a focus, and you want to feel that you’re closer to your ideal future. Are you doing everything you can to make it happen? Best days of July for Aries for Love: 16th, 17th, 18th Best days of July for Aries for Money: 10th, 11th Taurus July 2015 Horoscope Mercury enters water sign Cancer on July 8th, and your mind moves at a faster pace. You come up with lots of ideas, want to share your opinions and thoughts, and have more conversations with others. You’re open about everything, so secrets may not be kept, but honesty is good now. You enjoy being around others because they help challenge your mind and keep you mentally stimulated. You want to keep your mind busy with lots to do to use up the extra mental energy that you have now. You can be more of a chatterbox when you speak, so listen as much as you talk. The Sun enters fire sign Leo on July 22nd, and you feel most like yourself when you’re with the people you think of as family and in the places you know well. You want to stay inside of your comfort zone, and feel best there. You can find ways to make opportunities happen for you without pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, and you focus on the ways you can push your life onward and upward. You can give more time and attention to your loved ones and to your home, wanting emotional connections and a comfortable living environment. You may come cross as more nurturing, emotional, or supportive. On July 23rd, Mercury joins the Sun in Leo, and you can merge your mind and emotions together. You can express how you feel more easily with others, and find ways to communicate your emotions. You understand the way other people feel as well, and can detect what they really mean behind the words they say. You tap into the subtle emotional vibrations of any situation, and sense how everyone is feeling. You’re in tune with emotions, but may not be so great with logic right now. Venus, your ruler, enters fellow earth sign Virgo on July 18th, and you can be more loving, affectionate, and creative, but this may not last very long. On July 25th, Venus turns retrograde, which is when a planet appears to be moving backward from our viewpoint here on Earth. With Venus retrograde, we can lack love for things and desire, and in Virgo, this can impact your love life, and you’re lazier in love, more selfish, and more indulgent. But this may not last long either because Venus retrogrades backward into Leo on July 31st, joining the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in Leo, and this is where most of the impact will be. You can be lazy at home, with family and loved ones, not wanting to help them with their issues, and your nurturing, supportive side can go out of the window as you demand more from them than you’re willing to give in return. You can be too wrapped up in your own emotions that you don’t pay attention to theirs. You have to force yourself to be considerate of others and not abandon your mothering side. If you can do that, you can make it through. But Venus is your ruler, so you can also feel off in a subtle way throughout the retrograde, which lasts until early September. Uranus turns retrograde in fire sign Aries, the sign before yours, on July 26th, and over the coming months, you may resist sudden endings to situations or quickly letting go of things that you should, or jump to let go too fast before things have officially ended. Take time to adjust to the things that have left your life that you haven’t adjusted to yet. A full moon occurs in fellow earth sign Capricorn on July 1st, and you can identify more strongly with your beliefs. You may defend them if others speak against them, but that may not really be necessary. They’re entitled to their beliefs just as much as you are. You can settle a legal dispute, finish a course of study, or come home if you’re abroad with this full moon, and in general, you feel more optimistic about life. A new moon occurs on July 15th in Cancer, and you can come up with a new idea that you’re excited about, commit yourself to lots of little projects, are more sociable, and more outspoken. You have a positive attitude and people enjoy being around you because of it. A second full moon occurs on July 31st in air sign Aquarius, and this full moon focuses on your goals. You can make the kind of progress you’ve been wanting to make if you’ve done the hard work required and made the smart decisions needed. If you haven’t done that, you can feel yourself get further away from where you want to be. This is a good time to focus on what you want from your life, and how you’re going to get there. Best days of July for Taurus for Love: 19th, 20th Best days of July for Taurus for Money: 12th, 13th Gemini July 2015 Horoscope On July 8th, Mercury, your ruler, enters water sign Cancer, the sign after yours, and with Mercury leaving your sign, your mind slows down. Your mind has likely been in hyper-overdrive and difficult for you to wrangle over the last couple of months with Mercury here for a while. Now you get a break for a couple of weeks. You can take your time coming up with ideas, making decisions, and don’t see the point in rushing. Once you do make a decision, you stick with it no matter what. You can focus on financial matters now, and gather financial information, get financial advice, or work out a new budget. This is a good time if you work with in technology, writing, or online.

You can take on lots of small projects, commit to many social engagements, and you share everything with everyone, not wanting to keep anything to yourself. You’re excited by what you learn, and you can come up with lots of new ideas. You may come across as more curious, energized, or humorous. Mercury joins the Sun in Leo on July 23rd, and your little break ends as your mind gets back to its more usual pace. You have lots to say and share, lots of ideas to explore, lots of interests to dive into, and you’re excited about all of it. You can’t wait to know more, and you jump from one thing to the next fast. You can be a little scattered if you don’t focus though, so try to rein your mind in. On July 18th, Venus enters earth sign Virgo, and you can enjoy being with loved ones, staying at home, and want emotional connections in love, but this doesn’t last long. Venus turns retrograde on July 25th. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our view here on Earth. With Venus retrograde, we can lack love for things and desire, and for you, while in Virgo, you can be lazy at home and with loved ones, selfish emotionally, and lack nurturing instincts, but Venus isn’t in Virgo for very long. Venus retrogrades backward into Leo on July 31st, joining the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in Leo. Leo is the sign this retrograde is mostly in and will mostly be felt in, so you can be lazy mentally. All of that mental energy that you’ve had can come crashing down, and you want to just turn your mind off. You can avoid using your mind for anything, coming up with new ideas, and lack your natural curiosity. If you can keep your mind from completely shutting off, you can get through the retrograde, but you might feel like you deserve this time off. The retrograde lasts until early September. On July 26th, Uranus turns retrograde in fire sign Aries, and over the coming months, you can feel like changes with your hopes and dreams have been too much for you to handle, or you want to make changes that aren’t possible at the moment. If the former, take time to adjust, and if the latter, be more patient. On July 1st, a full moon occurs in earth sign Capricorn, and you can be very serious with this full moon. You may need to deal with a serious matter, and it makes you focus on things you hold deep inside of yourself. You can be a phoenix rising from the ashes with this full moon, and come back from failure, defeat. This full moon can bring the end of a business partnership, joint venture, or taking them to the next level. On July 15th, a new moon occurs in Cancer, and you can be presented with a new financial opportunity, pursue a financial venture, start a second job, side gig, or turn a hobby into something profitable.

On July 31st, we have a second full moon in July, occurring in fellow air sign Aquarius, and you can end a legal dispute, course of study, or long trip. Your beliefs are more important to you, and you feel more emotionally connected to them, or you feel that you need to let them go if they don’t feel like the right thing anymore.

You can take your time with everything, not feeling like rushing, and won’t be moved from your positions. You’re more in tune with your senses, and you want to get in touch with your body and the Earth. This can be a good time to focus on your finances, and try to make things happen. You may come across as more stable, dependable, or sensual. On July 23rd, Mercury joins the Sun in Leo, and your mind slows down. You won’t be pushed into decisions or made to do anything that you don’t want to do, and you may be a little stubborn about it at times, but you’ll act when you’re good and ready. You can have a more practical outlook, and look at things as they are instead of what you want them to be. Venus enters earth sign Virgo on July 18th, and you can enjoy mental pursuits and want a mental connection in love, but this is brief. On July 25th, Venus turns retrograde, which is when a planet appears to be moving backward from our viewpoint here on Earth. With Venus retrograde, we can lack love for things and desire, and for you, while in Virgo, you can be lazy mentally, not want to share with anyone, and be illogical, but Venus retrogrades backward into Leo on July 31st, joining the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in Leo, so it doesn’t last long. In Leo, you can be extra indulgent, gorging on too much food or splurging on too much stuff, and don’t care for the word “moderation”. If you’re on a diet, you’ll have to work extra hard to stay on track, and finding the desire to exercise can be difficult. You just want to lay down with some cake and let the day pass by. You can also be lazy with your finances, and don’t want to deal with pesky things like budgets, but if you don’t want to rack up debt, you have to. Make sure you have plenty of time for rest and relaxation during this retrograde or you’ll be mighty grumpy. This retrograde lasts until early September. Uranus turns retrograde in fire sign Aries on July 26th, and over the coming months, you can feel like things aren’t changing with your goals as you want them to, or that things are changing too much for you to keep up with. Try to focus on plans for the changes you want to make, and be more flexible for changes that come. A full moon occurs in earth sign Capricorn, the sign opposite yours, on July 1st, and you can end a fight in a relationship, take a relationship to the next level, or end a relationship. You’re more emotionally invested in your relationships, and can take stock of which are working, which aren’t, what needs to be done, and what can’t be fixed.
