Overview for July 2010: Solar eclipse on July 11th in Gemini, Mars transiting into Virgo to be with Saturn and Jupiter going retrograde in Pisces, opposite to Virgo all make for an interesting summer. Housing market will see a slow down between July 24th (Jupiter retrograde) and the end of the year. There will be pressure on the US government to step in to support the economy, as Mars gets into the act of having a dialogue with Saturn between July 20th and end of August. Romance will flourish for some once Venus moves out of Cancer in Leo on July 5th and then followed by Mercury on the 23rd. To sum up, the sky will not fall, the economy will keep on its slow pace with some ups and downs until November 2011 - when Saturn moves into Libra, giving the US economy a clear leg up. So hang in there, better days are around the corner - just a few blocks away.
