What month should you schedule your serious skincare routine? When to go on vacation and when to concentrate on work? Astropsychologist Lilia Lyubimova tells what important events in the spheres of family, career, motherhood and beauty the coming summer will bring.
The summer of 2018 brings with it several planetary events that will push us, above all, to a relaxing holiday. The rhythm of life will slow down a little, and this will allow us to truly relax, without thinking about career and work.
The first planetary event is Mercury retrograde. It will be in a retrograde phase from July 26 to August 19. At this time, we may face some difficulties in its functions: travel, travel, communication, training, communications, documents, negotiations.
Together with Mercury, Mars, the planet responsible for our activity, will also enter a retrograde phase. It will be in retrograde phase from June 26 to August 27. At this time, our energy, initiative, thirst for activity will slow down a little. And this period is perfect for rest and relaxation.
Retrograde motion of Mars in summer can be unfavorable only for athletes and their achievements. Anyone who loves sports should be careful not to overdo physical activity during the retro Mars period. You should be especially careful during the period from July 26 to August 19. At this time, both planets will move retrograde - both Mercury and Mars.
Also in the summer we will have as many as three eclipses. July 13, July 27 and August 11. Their special character will help all of us to complete old things and get rid of all unnecessary, unnecessary, past.
June
For all of us, June will be the most positive month of the summer! Our main task is to properly relax and unwind. At this time, Jupiter and Saturn also move retrograde and seem to make us forget about ambitions and career achievements for a while, and devote more time to rest, relaxation and earthly affairs.
Postpone the renovation, construction and improvement of your apartment or house until September. Let yourself enjoy the summer for real. Planets turn on green lights for a good rest, so my advice to you is: take this opportunity, which does not happen so often!
In June, the position of the planet Jupiter is not conducive to contacts with bosses, government agencies and other institutions. Better to postpone these things and with a clear conscience tune in to vacation! Any kind of recreation will be good, from active hiking in the mountains with a tent to a lazy stay on the beach.
Consider an important point in June. In the second decade, Uranus will square to Venus. This can provoke a desire for radical change and experimentation with the outside world and in personal relationships. But in this case it is better to resist, because the result of your decision, made in an emotional outburst, is unlikely to be positive in the end.
July
In the second month of summer, the situation will change significantly. At the end of the month, Mercury will also be added to retro Mars in a retrograde phase. This will slow down all processes. And eclipses - solar July 13 and lunar 27 - will add events. All of your endeavors may not go as planned. The vacation may not live up to your expectations. Excursions, museums, sightseeing can tire you rather than fill you with energy. During this period, the usual "seal" rest on the beach is best suited.
Be careful when planning your vacation for the first decade of July. The tense aspect of Uranus to Mars can affect the breakdown of complex mechanisms, transport, and cause unexpected situations on the road. The main motto: the less haste in business, the better.
In July, be especially rational in spending money. Venus will pass into the sign of the practical Virgo, who does not tolerate recklessness. In order not to worry about money when you return from an expensive resort, leave your stash at home.
August
The most difficult period for the whole summer will be the first 20 days of August.
The influence of the eclipse, which will occur on August 11, will last until the middle of the month. This time can be rich in unexpected events, since the eclipse will occur in conjunction with the retrograde motion of Mercury and Mars.
Business processes will temporarily freeze, and labor exploits will not bring much results. The same will apply to rest. Mercury retrograde will bring chaos and confusion, and Mars unexpected obstacles.
During this period, there may be some difficulties on vacation. Transport delays, flight cancellations, schedule violations, confusion. Perhaps you will not face this at all, but if this happened, treat it with a fair amount of wisdom. Do not take the transfer of the flight as a big tragedy. Use this time to sit in a cafe, chat with loved ones, or use your laptop in the waiting room.
In August (especially in the first two weeks of the month), a rest will be successful, which is associated with solitude, silence. It will be good if your vacation is full of meaning: visiting monasteries, pilgrimage, spiritual practices. Spend more time alone, in harmony with yourself and nature. At this time, it is good to cleanse your body and your own thoughts.
The third decade of August will delight us with the fact that the planets will return to their direct motion, and life will enter its usual rut. You can start living an active life and plan any kind of vacation. The only thing is to dose physical activity. Before the fall, it is better to play it safe and gain strength.
Aries
Career: There are many work-related events in the summer that will make you much more experienced and wiser by the fall. This time is not very conducive to making money, so it is better to immediately switch to saving mode. The situation will change for the better since September. You will be able to use your newly acquired skills, including the ability to save.
Love: the summer will be very busy for you. You will be able to experience the full range of feelings and emotions: strong passion, and discord with your soul mate, and stormy reconciliation.

Children: You can get even closer with your child. Try to spend more time together and have a heart-to-heart talk. Joint rest will be successful.
