July 23-August 22 | Ruling Planet: The Sun
You could make an unpopular decision worse by trying to soften the edges. If you're going to look bad, then so be it. People will respect you more for it.
A Sun/Mars conjunction shows you taking a strong hand. Best to be audacious than to underplay. You want a firm command of circumstances.
You need to know if someone can deliver or not, so ask. It's bold, but anything less than a straightforward answer proves s/he is stalling.
Things haven't been coming together in a timely fashion, but that may not be a bad thing when you discover that a past delay works in your favor.
You're given a second chance but it comes with heavy conditions. Honor these and you'll make more headway than you did before.
Remove yourself from the arena and let others thrash out their differences. This saves time and aggravation.
There's been so much back-and-forth lately that you may have a hard time remembering what you finally agreed to. Ask.
A financial matter gets turned on its head. Your first reaction is to fix it, but wait. There may be something to this new perspective.
Are you hooked or have you been snagged? It's hard to tell with Venus close to Mars. Review circumstances leading up to your current dilemma.
You don't like to mislead, but it may be better for this person to continue with a false impression. Divulge all once free of a rough passage.
