Okay, Really: How Gross Is It to *Not* Wash Your Reusable Water Bottle Every Day?

Well, a food safety expert says it’s actually pretty gross.

Your weekly horoscope for June 30-July 6, 2024 starts off on a confusing note. Neptune, the planet of fantasy and dreams, goes retrograde in Pisces on July 2. Neptune spends nearly five months retrograde every year, so this isn’t something to be worried about. But the day that Neptune begins to “move backward” is when we will feel the cosmic shift the most intensely. You may become more lax in your boundaries or reconsider some of your dreams for the future. This isn’t the best day to make important decisions, but pay attention to your gut instincts.

On the same day, Mercury in Cancer links up with Neptune in Pisces, and conversations are more heartfelt and full of compassion. This is a beautiful day to write poetry, share your feelings with someone special, or even to practice some magic or manifestation work. Later in the day, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Leo. Over the next few weeks, you’ll focus more on yourself and your goals.

The new moon in Cancer on July 5 will help you redefine your sense of security and safety.

Still to come on July 2 (a big astrology day!), Venus in Cancer meets with Saturn in Pisces, making this a productive day to set healthy boundaries and to discuss commitments in your relationships. Then Mercury in Leo stares down Pluto in Aquarius on July 3, revealing hidden information. You may also discuss taboo topics or reflect on your shadow side. Conversations today can feel healing, triggering, and transformative.

There’s a new moon in Cancer on July 5 that helps you redefine your sense of security and safety. Maybe you’re ready to move, start fresh with a family member, or redecorate. On the same day, Mars in Taurus mingles with Saturn in Pisces and Venus in Cancer clashes into Chiron in Aries. You’ll feel clear-minded and committed to move forward. Old wounds may resurface, offering you an opportunity to confront any issues that need to be addressed.
