Astrology: July is all about water signs, which govern feelings, so it’s a good time to ask: Are your workers happy?

Take stock of employee morale.

It’s a good time to do that, because emotions will be running high this month. July is all about the water signs— Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces—which govern feelings.

There’s a full moon in Capricorn on the 19th. That this alignment coincides with the Republican National Convention is not insignificant, as Capricorn rules governments and public figures, and the full moon has a habit of exposing faults and deficiencies. (Hey, don’t blame us; it’s in the stars.)

To end the month, Uranus, the planet of sudden changes, goes into retrograde on the 29th. On the 30th, Mercury—again, the planet of communication—moves into Virgo, a sign it rules. Both developments will help you react and think more clearly.

According to Google: “A planet that is held to have a particular influence over a specific sign of the zodiac, house, aspect of life, etc.” Where to get some fresh air when you’re tired of all the hot air in the convention halls: Republican National...
