The new week, from July 6 to July 12, will unfold under the influence of Mercury retrograde, making it better to postpone important negotiations, expensive purchases, and new beginnings. At the same time, several significant astrological events are expected, bringing both new opportunities and unexpected challenges.

Here's what the stars have in store for the week ahead — and which days deserve extra caution.

July 6

The beginning of the week is not suitable for new undertakings, important decisions, expensive purchases, dental or surgical procedures. It is also not advisable to schedule important negotiations, sign new contracts, or buy electronic equipment, as Mercury retrograde continues to affect all matters related to communication and documents.

Instead, the day is well suited for returning to old projects, reconnecting with people, searching for lost items, analyzing information, and correcting mistakes. Walks, physical activity, and water treatments will also be beneficial.

The astrologer advises paying special attention to the period from 08:21 to 18:07, when the Moon will be void of course.

"During this time, you should not start important tasks, make major purchases, or trust new offers, as they may not meet your expectations," Soloviova explained.

July 7

The day is also unfavorable for new beginnings. It is especially undesirable to start a new job, buy a car, set off on long-distance trips, or take on additional professional responsibilities.

At the same time, intuition and the ability to find unconventional solutions will be particularly strong. The astrologer advises against making promises and recommends dedicating the day to rethinking old problems and finding new ways to solve them.

July 8

This is one of the most challenging days of the week. It is not advisable to trust rumors, get involved in conflicts, or take unnecessary risks. Fraud, misunderstandings, and emotional outbursts are possible.

At the same time, the day is well suited for completing tasks, repaying debts, cleaning, and ending unnecessary relationships.

Special caution is advised from 09:37 to 11:21, when the Moon will pass through the destructive degree of Aries.

According to Soloviova, this period may provoke conflicts, impulsive decisions, aggression, and create dangerous situations. It is better to postpone important matters until another time.

July 9

"This is an unfavorable period for new undertakings and important decisions, as well as surgical and dental procedures or visiting a hairdresser," the expert warned.

Because of the overall energy of the day, it is better not to begin new activities related to business, law, travel, education, science, or anything connected with foreign countries.

This is a day of great effort and teamwork. Physical activity, special exercises, and yoga are recommended. Engage in active creative work.

July 10

This is not the best day for major financial decisions, getting married, meeting new people, taking out loans, making expensive purchases, or undergoing cosmetic procedures.

At the same time, one of the week's most positive astrological events begins on this day.

From 05:53 on July 10 to 16:07 on July 11, Mars will be in the royal degree of Gemini. According to the astrologer, this period opens opportunities for success in negotiations, learning, communication, business contacts, and the realization of promising ideas.

Starting at 13:13, the Moon will enter its void-of-course phase, so it is better not to use the second half of the day to begin important matters.

July 11

The day is not suitable for marriage, romantic dates, divorce, or serious negotiations. The astrologer warns of an increased risk of theft and advises paying closer attention to your surroundings.

Teamwork, a sauna, a massage, and any procedures aimed at restoring your strength will be beneficial.

July 12

The end of the week is also not suitable for new beginnings, especially those related to romantic relationships, children, creative performances, or gambling.

Instead, it is a good day for intellectual work, creativity, repaying debts, meditation, and water treatments.

The astrologer also advises avoiding alcohol, being careful with open flames, and not overloading yourself with unnecessary tasks.
