Your Weekly Parenting Horoscope for July 10-16

On Monday, don't be surprised if your boss blows up your plan to ditch work a little early to pick up your L.O. from daycare, or if the sitter falls through at the last minute. Transformative Pluto is opposing the sun in your fourth house of family life, throwing your work-life balance out of whack. You'll be tempted to lose your sh*t, but do your best to remain patient and think on your feet.

On Friday, you might be majorly annoyed by a friend's texts or calls when communicator Mercury in your fourth house of home life forms an annoying angle to confusing Neptune. (Like maybe your MIL is driving you nuts with mind-boggling Qs about watching the baby this weekend?) Venting to your partner or friends can help you keep your head from exploding.

Jump on that brilliant pitch you've been keeping in your back pocket or that job you've been waiting to apply for on Thursday. The moon in your tenth house of career is forming a positive angle to artistic Venus in your sign, which has you feeling even more creative than usual. Sharing that warm, fuzzy glow from your professional progress with your bae and kiddo will make your success even more enjoyable.

You might feel even more stressed by your to-dos than usual on Friday, when the sun in your sign forms an annoying angle to taskmaster Saturn in your sixth house of daily routines. (You're like, how is that even possible?) But it might actually be more of an internal anxiety issue that's driving your uneasiness. Prioritizing a quickie time-out (even a quick walk around the block with your L.O. and the dog) could have you feeling more centered stat.

If you've been putting off that tough convo with your boss about changing up your schedule, you may have no choice but to just do it around Monday. The sun in your sixth house of daily routines is opposing transformative Pluto, giving you little choice in the matter. The good news is that once you just freakin' TCB, you'll probably feel more relieved.

On Tuesday, see what you can do to get the ball rolling on that side hustle you've been mulling over. The moon forms a positive angle to big picture Jupiter in your second house of income, giving you a burst of confidence and financial luck. Dedicating even just a tiny chunk of time to your project (like an hour a week when your partner takes the L.O. to a class) could lead to a seriously fulfilling reward.

You might struggle to hit a deadline and/or want to pull your hair out when your child care plan goes awry around Monday, when transformative Pluto in your fourth house of home life opposes the sun. It may not seem like it in the moment, of course, but getting to the root of the problem (like having a one-on-one meeting with higher-ups) can preempt a lot more aggravation down the road.

You might feel like you're just not in the right headspace to get it on with your partner on Thursday, when the moon forms a negative angle to the planet of love, Venus, in your eighth house of sexual intimacy. At the same time, once the L.O. is asleep, you might feel like you could use that one-on-one time, but finding another way to feel close to each other might be even more fulfilling.

You and your bae could struggle to see eye-to-eye on a money matter around Monday, when the sun opposes transformative Pluto in your second house of income. Emotions could be running high, and that's totally fair. But when things eventually cool off, you'll be motivated to figure out a workable, pragmatic solution — ideally, as a team.

If you've been feeling like your partner hasn't been carrying his or her weight, you could be compelled to blow up at them around Monday. Transformative Pluto in your sign opposes the sun in your seventh house of partnership, and the theme song of the day is basically Halsey's "Now or Never." Get this frustrating but oh-so-necessary convo out of the way, and you'll be able to move forward.

Discussing a money matter with your partner could leave you feeling on-edge on Friday, thanks to communicator Mercury in your seventh house of partnership forming an annoying angle to confusing Neptune in your second house of income. You might want to get all your ducks in a row RN, but it's possible that holding off until you have more clarity will actually make for less stress in the long-run.

Everyday experiences at home (like playing with your toddler) could actually inspire a creative brainstorm on Thursday, when the moon in your sign forms a positive angle to artistic Venus in your fourth house of home life. Even if it's not something you usually do, you may feel like writing a poem, painting, or drawing—maybe alongside your L.O. Go with it, and you might just surprise yourself, mama!
