Your Horoscope for the Week of July 20
On July 20, Mars in Virgo aligns with the South Node of Destiny, making us feel exhausted and overwhelmed by situations. The next day, Venus in Gemini spurs the Nodes of Destiny, urging us to make romantic and financial decisions ASAP. The Sun enters Leo on July 22, adding passion and creativity to our lives. On July 23, the Sun harmonizes with Uranus in Gemini, pushing us to lean into our individuality. Venus squares Mars, a few hours later, heightening our desires.
The New Moon on July 24 is activated by Saturn Retrograde and Neptune Retrograde in Aries, which offers us a chance to align and commit to our dreams. Be careful not to step on anyone's toes on July 25, because the Sun opposes Pluto retrograde in Aquarius creating arguments. We wish to change but it'll prove to be difficult, leading to friction and frustration. Jealousies will peak, so stay in your lane and work on improving the way you handle your emotions.
Hey Aries, are you working hard or hardly working? We get it, the sun is shining, and you'd rather be luxuriating in a pool than at the office. But that does not mean you should skimp on your duties and coast by. Shape up to avoid a bad quarterly review.
Even though you were up for a position you didn't want at work, you shouldn't rain on the parade of the coworker who got it by being a low-key hater. There are better opportunities that suit you, and they are coming soon. In the end, it's a blessing in disguise.
Aren't you the busy twin star? With your schedule and workload hitting a high, there isn't much time to relax. Everything feels extremely overwhelming, so you should put a few activities on ice and give yourself a moment to breathe. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help or assistance.
Being caught in the middle of a situation means that you can use your compassion to help mend matters. If you opt to engage, focus on bringing your two besties together. Once you let them see the other side, they will understand their wrongdoings and want to make up immediately.
Although you have excellent credit, you're struggling with liquid cash. Until you can consolidate and deal with financial matters, consider having a yard sale to give away old trinkets or clothing you no longer use. It'll be a success, allowing you to have immediate cash, which can be incredibly useful.
To your dismay, you're being passed up for opportunities. As hard as it may be, don't sweat it. You'll get a lot of credit and projects very soon. Use your days to check out of work and head to the beach and do something fun to beat the cosmic fever.
You are holding all the messy receipts from friends close to your heart. Think of this as collateral if they drag you into drama that doesn't involve you. TBH, you might be many things, but two-faced you're not—so think of this as your time to be a vigilante.
Projecting your insecurities onto others never bodes well because they'll detach from being a part of this game. If you're feeling a certain way, you should journal your sentiments to understand them better before taking them out on those you love. This endeavor will be cathartic and rewarding to you.
It's not easy for someone as outspoken as you to minimize your voice, but you'll learn that your opinion isn't always appreciated. Be mindful and delicate in the words you state because you will wind up being the person who's blamed. Round and round they'll go to not accept responsibility.
Never forget that you're the main character in your personal book. It can be challenging to be around strong personalities competing with yours, but when you realize that you are in the driver's seat and navigating your destiny, you'll begin to take charge and assert your authority in your life.
Simply put, this isn't ideal for you to confront your crush/S.O. about your feels (blame the retrogrades!). However, that won't make you hesitate. The only cosmic ask is for you to state your thoughts with empathy in what they're going through and be willing to accept their version of events.
The old expression says, 'If you want something done, do it yourself.' Stop holding others accountable for your life and take control. By being proactive, you'll get everything on your punch list done without relying on anyone else. This will make you more productive, efficient, and powerful in your autonomy.

Venus Williams' doubles run at DC Open cut short after 2nd-round loss
The post Venus Williams' doubles run at DC Open cut short after 2nd-round loss appeared first on ClutchPoints. Venus Williams' improbable run at the DC Open has come to an end in part. On Thursday, she was eliminated in the second round of the doubles tournament, per ESPN. Williams and her doubles partner Hailey Baptiste lost to No. 2-seeded Taylor Townsend and Zhang Shuai 6-4, 3-6, 10-6 in a tiebreaker. Nevertheless, Williams is still competing in the singles tournament and is set to take on Magdalena Fręch in the Round of 16 on Thursday. On Tuesday, Williams at 45 became the second oldest player to win a WTA singles match. She defeated Peyton Stearns in straight sets 6-4, 6-3. All this happened as Williams was making some changes to her life. She announced her engagement to actor Andrea Preti. At the same time, Williams said it would mean more to play if Serena were to come out of retirement. While Serena has gotten much of the glow over the years, Venus has never been too far behind. Venus Williams adds to her legendary status Since emerging onto the scene at 14, Venus has amassed a stellar pedigree. She has won 7 Grand Slam singles titles and 14 Grand Slam doubles titles (all with Serena). In addition, Williams has captured four Olympic gold medals (one in singles, three in doubles). She, along with Serena, helped change the face of tennis with their story, fashion sense, and activism. Venus was the one who led the charge for equal pay at Grand Slam tournaments. A pursuit which culminated in 2007 when Wimbledon offered equal prize money. A tournament in which she won. She still has a chance to go far if not win the DC Open singles title. A feat that would place her in the same category of Jack Nicklaus and George Foreman. Athletes who achieved big things at an advanced age. Nicklaus famously won the Masters in 1986 at age 46. Foreman recaptured the heavyweight championship at age 45 in 1994.
