The week of 14-20 July finds us on the threshold of an important review, since in the 18 July Mercury begins its retrograde course from the sign of Leo, triggering redefinitions, revisions and revivals of situations related to creative ideas, love encounters and matters of the heart or self-expression. It is advisable to avoid final decisions, new beginnings or important contracts, as they may conceal misunderstandings or delays.

On the same day, Mercury sextiles Venus in Gemini, a view that throws a balm on any upheaval. It brings heart-warming news, flirtations with people from the past, reconnecting contacts or thoughts that take us back to something we loved. This is a positive opportunity for reconnecting or understanding what was said in haste. The communicative climate softens, and words take on a healing power.
