Mercury and Venus love to mingle so you can expect to make the acquaintance of all sorts of people that you wouldn’t typically meet while these two planets are forming a sextile in the sky (July 18th to 23d).  It’s a great opportunity to broaden your horizons, add to your contact list, and even brush up on your conversation skills.  This planetary energy is usually chatty and fly-by-night, except that you could be making the acquaintance of someone who will go on to become a major player in your life – but you’ll have to wait to see what the next couple of weeks bring first.
