July 26
Sun opposite Mars
This is a duck-and-cover day so avoid anything that smacks of an argument or a confrontation. Even well meaning “debates” will escalate into knockdown-dragout fights so it’s best to agree to disagree. Meanwhile be extra cautious around household appliances, snappish pets, and sharp objects. Mars’s backwards motion shows that it’s the things you take for granted in your everyday life that could cause the greatest harm now. Can we say accident-prone? Thankfully the effect subsides by July 30. Signs most affected: Aries, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius
