Rise and Shine on Aug 2 (Retrograde Uranus gives you the first break in months. Cherish it), Aug 3 (suspicions are confirmed but thankfully they pale in comparison to worst-case scenarios), Aug 5 (just when you thought you had all your bases covered, your opponent bunts. But if anyone can improvise: it’s you), and Aug 7 (review what’s been working and what hasn’t over the past six months – then pitch anything that’s not up to snuff. You’ll be happier for it)

Duck and Cover on July 31 (that person you’re trying to straighten out is very confused and all the explaining in the world won’t help. Leave things be for now), Aug 1 (right now there’s more sound than fury signifying nothing, but don’t say that out loud. Just weather the storm), Aug 4 (if you don’t feel like yielding, then don’t. You may be reacting intuitively to something that can’t be explained), and Aug 6 (did the wheel go full turn and end up back where it began? It’s beginning to look that way)
