Pisces Weekly Horoscope

This is the kind of week to take one step at a time, and don’t go rushing off into anything, although the stars will hardly be encouraging you to catapult off into the future, and that’s not just because there won’t be any notable alignments in the stars overhead until Thursday. The 17th arrives with a balancing Half Moon in Aries and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Wealth, reminding you not to get too far from reality in your search for success and comfort. Yes, it is a wonderful thing to dream about all the possibilities floating out there in the Universe, but unless you deal with the realities in front of you you’ll never be able to get to the excitement waiting beyond them. Take some time to get centered and make sure you’re where you need to be in terms of work and finances, and if something isn’t correct then you need to focus on doing some recalibration.

You may find yourself looking in the rearview mirror this week. Messenger Mercury has been encouraging you to turn yourself into a lean, mean, efficiency machine ever since it entered Leo and your 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness. This is always a great time to get your life in order, but this transit is going to be a little scrambled starting on the 18th thanks to the cosmic communicator backstroking in retrograde motion until August 11th. The most important thing to remember during the next three weeks is to avoid engaging in any new work projects; during retrogrades we need to return to things we’ve already initiated, so rather than forging ahead you should really forge behind. That being said, since the 6th House rules a lot of your daily life, expect the cracks to show and things to fall through them; there’s little room for perfection right now but a lot for improvements. Health matters could also come up for inspection, but if something serious occurs it would be wise to get a second opinion before you get carried away.

The 18th won’t be all worry, though; at the same time, loving Venus will reach out from Gemini and your 4th House of Feelings and Foundations to make a supportive sextile to Mercury, so even if you are feeling a little overwhelmed or out of sorts, it would seem that you’ll have plenty of people coming out of the woodwork to make your life seem that much brighter. A relative or roommate could lend a helping hand that makes the day fly by in the best way, or perhaps you discover a new way of handling your work that enables you to achieve a lot more than usual. There are indeed silver linings on offer this Friday.
