Daily General Horoscopes - Tuesday 7 July

Aries

At a time when all but three of the main planets are in retrograde motion, the first of the dwarf planets turns retrograde today. This time it is the dwarf planet Ceres, turning retrograde in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart just two weeks before the dwarf planet Eris is due to turn retrograde in Aries. With Mars still in his early weeks in Aries this is putting the brakes on and the timing couldn't be better. With Mars spending the rest of the year in Aries rather than the typical six weeks, this is a reminder that you are running a marathon and not a sprint.

Taurus

As the Moon makes its first visit to your career sector since Saturn left last week it is being kept busy, giving you an intuitive read on the networks already created across the income, work and career fronts. It is the Moon's friendly aspect to Venus, for the first time since she turned direct in your income sector and to the asteroid Juno in your work sector, that not only brings these forces together again but with a chance to look to the future. Saturn left by retrograding back out and the last time the Moon moved through Venus was in retrograde motion as well.

Gemini

Ceres' retrograde turn in your career sector today might complete a shift in focus from the future to the past that began when Mars left nine days ago, but there are deeper implications as well. With Neptune already in retrograde motion, this is a chance for Ceres to join him in retracing your steps. Together Neptune and Ceres are on a mission to update your professional dreams, needs and priorities ahead of Jupiter's return next year but they are now shifting their focus to the rear view mirror.

Cancer

To have the Moon return to your financial sector so soon after Saturn left last week means that everything will still be fresh as you get a chance to regroup. A friendly aspect to Venus, the planet of money in an intuitive and imaginative part of your chart will fuel your financial confidence, instincts and imagination, as it has done on each visit over the last three months. The difference this time is that both the Moon and Venus are looking to the future. This is a chance to look to the future with confidence.

Leo

Ceres' direct turn in your financial sector today means that both planets here are now in retrograde motion and taking part in what is both an annual but also vital review phase. Since his return in 2012 Neptune has spent from June to November in retrograde motion but with the dwarf planet Ceres there, they are on a joint mission to update your financial dreams, needs and priorities ahead of Jupiter's return next year. This won't stop money matters moving forward but gives you a chance to also reflect.

Virgo

As the Moon makes its first visit to your work sector since Saturn retrograded back out last week it also forms a friendly aspect to Venus in your career and Juno in your income sector. As well as creating positive conditions for friendship and relationship building, with Saturn no longer in retrograde motion and as the first visit since Venus turned direct, across the income, work and career fronts this is a chance to look to the future rather than the past.

Libra

Just two days after an eclipsing Full Moon stress tested your work/life balance, there is a chance today to reap the benefits. As if knowing what kind of week this would be, the gods chose the weekend to stress test a balance between your home and professional lives. For just as a crossover begins where the doors are open to the past, second chances and untapped job and professional potential at the same time, an alliance of playful and adventurous forces refuses to be ignored. You can have it all but only with the right work/life balance.

Scorpio

With the second half of the year destined to be the busiest, by turning retrograde in a playful part of your chart Ceres is giving you a chance to shore up your bases there. With Neptune already in retrograde motion here, as the dwarf planet turns retrograde as well this will act as a support but in a way that doesn't compete with Mars and his mission to drive things forward on the job front. Because the planets on the busy and playful sides of life's fence are running side by side they should be easier to balance.

Sagittarius

The Moon's first visit to your communication sector since Saturn left last week is also the first since Venus turned direct in your communication sector, with their friendly aspect today giving the communication lines a boost. Because Saturn retrograded back out and the last time the Moon moved through Venus was in retrograde motion as well, this is a chance to give your emotional responses and relationships a voice but also to look to the future rather than the past. A friendly aspect to Juno as well makes this a good day for personal and professional networking, friendship and relationship building.

Capricorn

Because the Sun's departure from Capricorn yesterday not only brought the weekend's eclipsing Full Moon to a close but wrapped up the first visit since Saturn's return last week, there is a lot to unpack. This is something that doesn't need to be rushed, with your subconscious having downloaded information much faster than you could process it at the time. If you let your thoughts settle, the right information will rise to the surface at the right time, especially if you don't push it.

Aquarius

It has only been five days since Saturn retrograded back out of Aquarius last week, putting his return to your sign and the start of a new three decade long Saturn cycle on hold. However, returning in December with Jupiter to begin some of your most empowered years in decades, the Moon has returned for the first of many chances to check in over the coming months and to process some defining months. This is something that you can afford to uncover, layer after layer between now and the end of the year.

Pisces

With Mars gone from Pisces and Neptune already in retrograde motion here, Ceres retrograde turn today puts even more focus on the past. Even today's nostalgic and reflective lunar vibes will contribute to this, creating a stark contrast to when Mars left just nine days ago. Where you were racing headfirst into life with no time to hear yourself think, today you have nothing but time. This is a much needed chance to catch your breath, with time spent daydreaming anything but wasted time.
