For Monday, July 21:

Learn not to react to immediate situations, as upsetting as they might be to your year. Others surround you; your popularity grows. You might feel as if anything is possible. If you are single and you manage to stay footloose and fancy-free, on a deep level you want to. If you are attached, the two of you might feel that relating is like being on a seesaw. Pisces encourages daydreams.
