You could apparently unwittingly attract situations where your ability to problem-solve is required. It's likely that your talents and skills have been noticed and that there's little coincidence in you now being asked to become a member of a team. This group could have a charitable aim. There again, they might be interested in involvement in an area about which they know little – but where they feel you have expertise.

You might need to organise an estimate. There's also a strong possibility that you could mislay paper-work or phone numbers today. That may be because you're trying to force your brain to deal with practicalities when your more creative side wants to come out to play – which could make this a particularly indecisive day for shopping.

Allaying inner fears might not be easy: you may need an expert's help to work out what's rational and what isn't. Your social life could take an interesting turn too. Within a professional group your value could increase when your experiences effectively stop someone pushing through an idea that's impractical. You might also become aware that your inner world would benefit from more fun. A comedy show or book might help.
Week: Sunday 2nd August – Saturday 8th August 2026
Venus leaves your sign on Thursday just as Mercury, your ruling planet returns to the position it held before turning retrograde. That same day, Mercury, and the trader's asteroid Vesta come to new phase. There is high probability of financial matters needing to be addressed. This is perhaps when you can make a decision that been pending for some months. Travel may be involved. It doesn't have to be literal travel – it could be of the mind. The desire to re-fire your brain cells will surely be strong. In all this, both Taurus and Libra friends have much to contribute and should be willing to work with you as plans and schedules are made. What might need to be agreed is who is bearing which cost.
