Crabs start out the month with Venus and Mercury in your sign, which isn't a bad way to start at all.  Venus will help you feel pretty good about yourself and actually make you more physically and emotionally attractive by enhancing your natural strengths.  You're already an affectionate person, but this will be even more apparent and people will feel very kindly toward you.  They will thus be likely to confide in you even more than usual and possibly take up a lot of your time with that sort of thing, but being the nice person that you are, you'll be patient and caring and everyone will probably want to have a hug when all is said and done.  There is likely to be some emphasis on your possessions this month while the Sun is in Leo, which is your Natural 2nd House that rules such things.  Saturn is there, too, and Venus will be moving in at some point as well.  Saturn is not particularly friendly and often brings about increased responsibilities, issues with authority figures or perhaps just delays.  Venus is likely to soften this a bit sometime around August 13 when she moves into Leo or it could also mean that perhaps you'll have to give up something you really like.  These events will be further emphasized by the Full Moon on August 9th, which is in the same neighborhood.

Mars is in your 3rd House of intellect and Mercury will be moving in toward the end of the month, so at least your thought and communication processes will be sharp.  They might be a bit forceful, also, as well as opinionated, so no matter how brilliant you may be, you're likely to get some resistance or irritate someone expressing them.  The New Moon is right there in the midst of all this on the 23rd, so it could usher in a new approach to things, for the next month at least.

Jupiter is in your natural 5th House of creativity, children and love interests.  If your birthday is around the first few days of July, it will be trining your Natal Sun, which will give you some extra attention and hopefully good luck in these areas.  Pluto is transiting your natural 6th House of work, health and pets and could be introducing various power struggles or situations that need to end and start over.  If you're unhappy in your job or career, this is a good time for some serious self-examination regarding what you really want to be when you grow up and then take steps to head in that direction.  The fact that Uranus, planet of change and unexpected events is also a trine away in your 9th House of long distance travel, higher education and legal issues, perhaps there is a message here that a change is in order.

It's likely to be a busy month.  Not necessarily bad, though it might involve some uncomfortable decisions.  Over time, however, it should be a stepping stone toward where you really want to go, subtle though it may be.
