July begins with Saturn in retrograde motion at 19 degrees 26’ Pisces and Neptune stations as it goes into its retrograde period on July 2 at 29 degrees 56’ Pisces. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and tends to be a bit sensitive and reclusive in how it interacts with the world in general and in personal relationships.
