If your dreams suddenly get extra vivd and weird, you can probably blame Neptune retrograde, which begins in the early morning hours of July 2. Neptune is the planet of fantasies and delusions, which means this retrograde may lower the veil that separates fact from fiction. Stationing retrograde at 29 degrees of Pisces—a.k.a. the last degree in the entire zodiac—Neptune may deliver a few twists and turns right before you can truly close the chapter of something in your life. Point blank—nothing is as it seems.
Later that same day, intellectual Mercury enters Leo, the fixed fire sign of drama, creativity, and self-expression. This will bring bigger and bolder ideas into the foray, giving you the confidence to act on your loftiest plans. However, it could also lead to stubborn and prideful thinking. July 2 is also when love planet Venus forms a trine with Saturn retrograde, bringing long-lasting support to your relationships and a much-needed dose of maturity. However, by July 3, a struggle could unfold as Mercury opposes Pluto retrograde, bringing hidden motivations and disagreements to the surface. It could even trigger an internal conflict within yourself.
An opportunity to start something on the right foot arrives on July 5. This is when passionate Mars will form a sextile with responsible Saturn, helping you find the discipline and consistency to bring your goals to the finish line. It’s also when a new moon in Cancer will set your heart right and encourage you to nourish yourself the way you need nourishing. After all, the moon is right at home when it’s in Cancer.
How the planets will affect your zodiac sign this week
Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming week, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):
Aries
This week, you are gaining important information.
The week begins on Monday, July 1, with the sun in Cancer making a semisquare to Uranus in Taurus and your house of finances. Great achievements come by putting pressure on yourself to do better.

This is a time to be confident but still willing to admit an error you make. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and view yourself from that vantage point.
