Don’t sign on the line that's dotted on July 18th.  This won’t be easy because you'll feel like it’s now or never when it comes to sealing the deal or making a big purchase. Exclamations of “I don't have time for this!” are to be expected when Mercury retrogrades in a fire sign however a better use of your time would be to engage in a fact-finding mission. Not only will you discover the other party was withholding certain details, you'll see you're in a position to lock in more favorable terms. The end result is a much better dotted line to sign on August 11th.
