July Horoscopes
Aries: Just because Mercury is out of retrograde doesn’t mean you’re in the clear just yet, Aries. Miscommunication and missed opportunities might become an issue if you don’t sit down and start prioritizing your time and energy. A lot of work situations are going to require that you revisit the fine print, testing you over and over again. It feels as though you have to prove yourself to others, especially elders and authority figures in your life. Too many slip ups on your end could lead to upsetting someone really important in your life this month — take caution and slow down. You don’t need to take on everything at once. When it comes to communication, you definitely want to be more mindful of how you say things, because you may come off as insensitive. Relationships might take a hit if both parties don’t try their best to avoid adding more stress onto their partners, so really make an effort to set boundaries with partners and have clear communication. Honestly, just act the same way you did during the retrograde and you should be fine! All in all, July should end on a higher note for you, as good news in terms of lots of recognition of your hard work and perseverance will come your way soon enough. Remember, this is all a test. How badly do you want to succeed?
Taurus: What goes up must come down, and what goes around comes back around. If you’ve been on your best behavior, life is sweet and things are looking great. There’s a number of really great opportunities coming your way in terms of finances, education, business or legal matters. Some of y’all might even get really big on social media — a lot of eyes are on you this July! But for those of you who might have been acting up lately, karma is ready to come and collect. As much as you may hate to admit it, there might be someone you owe an apology or need to give another chance. Your perspective on things isn’t necessarily the right one, but your selfish tendencies may have made you think otherwise. For once, stop being stubborn and swallow your pride. If you can be mature this month and be more sensitive to the emotions of others, it will pay off. For those who are single, the end of July will be an ideal time to get out there and be in the mix. You’ll be irresistible and turn tons of heads. Just be prepared to have options on options!
Gemini: Y’all are really trying to be outside outside! Things are looking up with friends and loved ones, but that might be a little tough to balance with the heavy demands of work. Your key word this month is patience...mainly with yourself! When things get overwhelming and busy, it can be easy to forget just how hard you worked to get exactly where you are. You have a lot to learn when it comes to mastering certain lessons (especially career-based ones), but you were built to handle this pressure and make something amazing out of it. You just need to be more patient with the process and get your emotions in check — it will be really easy to lose your cool this Cancer season. By the next full moon you should be feeling a little better as you start getting used to this tricky energy and feeling more at ease in your own skin. End of the month seems especially prime time for putting yourself out there. Some of you may find yourselves doing some public speaking, pitching projects or interviewing. It’s basically a good time to sell yourself and bring that competitive nature out.
Cancer: Happy birthday season, Cancer! It feels like a lot of y’all need to really let this past year be put to rest. A recent situation or conversation may have triggered intense anxiety, and for some, it might bring in a bit of a depressive episode. This is an important time to put your mental and emotional health first. You may want to invest in therapy or in finding healthy outlets for exploring your emotions. The goal here isn’t necessarily to completely heal, it’s more so to be in tune with your body and know how to best manage your emotions as they come. It can be hard to make progress on certain life goals when emotionally you’re not at your best, but there’s no need to force yourself to make big steps and rush the process. Compromise on your timeline, at least for this month. By cutting yourself some slack and giving yourself grace in just existing for a bit, you relieve the pressure to show up as some perfect version of yourself (which, FYI, does not exist. How and who you really are is enough. Mars and Venus sextile your sun by the end of the month, bringing a little more self-confidence back, so hang in there, Cancer!
Leo: Who has you hung up at the moment, Leo? It seems like some of you may have met someone who has a lot of potential and whomyou see a bright future with, but something just isn’t clicking. You’re being cautioned to really take your time with feeling out this person, because rushing it might ruin what is naturally there. You might be making the situation worse without even noticing by putting extreme pressure on this new relationship, so take it easy. Don’t stress yourself out and let your insecurities get the best of you. Plus, you have other things to focus on like career goals, or for some, a whole new job. It seems especially true for the end of July; it seems like a big decision will spring up on you and force you to make a quick call on your future. For the time being, just remember that even if things are tough right now, it doesn’t mean you should abandon the dream. Maybe you just need to go about things differently. Just keep in mind that slow progress is still progress.
Virgo: There’s an immense push here to do more — go out more, do more work, get involved in your community a little more — but there’s only so much of you to go around, so you really have to be careful of not overextending yourself and agreeing to too many plans. Emotionally, you’re much more focused on something else, which makes sense as to why you’re so busy distracting yourself at the moment. It seems like you’re torn between a decision; your mind is telling you one thing and your heart wants something entirely different, and each decision has its own set of consequences. At some point, you have to stop standing in your own way and be brutally honest with yourself. What are you refusing to see when it comes to this situation? Some of y’all are being asked to cut off certain connections or habits. Use your words when dealing with this situation. You might surprise yourself with how good it feels to take some of that power back. When Venus is in conjunction with the sun by the end of the month, things should take a sweeter turn for the most part. Expect to make new friends and be out on the social scene a lot. Someone in particular is really going to like how you’ve been looking lately!
Libra: Certain plans are not moving along as fast as you would like, but what you don’t realize is that life doesn’t happen on your timing alone. Sometimes things don’t happen for us because we’re not quite ready for that blessing, or something better is on its way. To confront whatever you’re frustrated about because it’s not happening or it’s happening too slowly: sit down, be quiet and let the universe handle it. You’re starting to let even the little things get to you, so you really need to find some alone time to tap into your emotions and find a healthy outlet to release frustration before you start taking out all those pent up feelings on your loved ones. From your perspective you can’t see the bigger picture and that’s why you’re so hung up on this, but once time reveals everything you’ll see why that delay or redirection had to take place. End of the month might be an ideal time for those looking to get a new job or seeking financial approval of a certain big move/decision. The key thing here when it comes to these opportunities is doing all your research, showing up prepared, and making lemonade out of really sour lemons. So basically, make the best out of where you’re at because where you’re headed is worth it, but it will take a while to fully get there.
Scorpio: We can’t control people, situations, or our emotions, but we can control how we choose to move forward when we face obstacles. To be honest, Scorpio, this month is going to TRY you. You might experience some financial hardships in the beginning of July, forcing you to get a little creative with how you deal with your money. A good thing to keep in mind is that your relationship with money really does play a big role in how you behave financially. What are some of your subconscious thoughts when it comes to money? You should also think the same when it comes to certain close connections. What are things you truly feel or practice deep down that you know hold you back when it comes to relationships in your life? There’s some really deceptive and nasty energy around you, indicating that someone has really taken advantage of you in the past and has put you through it. It will be difficult acknowledging this and moving on, but if you need to mourn this ending, take your time. Better to sit with your sadness than to avoid your feelings and let it build up over time. It’s time to release and to feel; don’t shy away from it. More importantly, invest in those who invest in you. While you may lose some connections, others will definitely strengthen, and you might be shocked by who really shows up for you in the end.
Sagittarius: You’re almost there with achieving a certain goal or marking something off your goals/vision board. It’s like victory is just right there, but it’s not time to celebrate just yet. It’s not a basket until you score, so keep that same energy about your goals. Be proud of how far you’ve come, acknowledge your growth but stay on your toes, because it feels like there will be a couple of hurdles here and there before you fully accomplish this next goal. There’s a lot of shakeups coming your way, so this energy is going to be a very exciting change of pace for you as you’ll be able to juggle a lot of roles and projects at once. However, this can get tricky for personal relationships as you may not have the attention span necessary to keep up with everything and everyone, so make sure you also set aside time for relaxing and reconnecting with self. A lot of people are watching your moves and are inspired; it might be good to come out of hiding and share a little more about your story and experiences. You have a lot of wisdom to share. You also have a lot of authority figures impressed with what you bring to the table. Overall, July is a really great month for career progress. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor, Sagittarius!
Capricorn: Big decisions having to do with career or education goals are going to be the focus for you this month, Capricorn. Know that whatever you invest your time and energy in will come back to you tenfold, especially for those in creative fields. Some of you are being urged to take a chance and travel for this opportunity. Despite things looking great, it looks like your overthinking might get the best of you and put you in situations where you’re reading the room incorrectly. Someone offering advice isn’t automatic criticism, and someone trying to get you to look at things from a different perspective shouldn’t be seen as an attack on your opinion. Listen carefully, explain yourself as clearly and thoughtfully as you can and think about how others will handle your message before you hit send. If you’re feeling really lost, consult your elders or spirit guides/ancestors. Some of y’all in particular have a spirit guide or ancestor that is super present and more than happy to provide some guidance. All you have to do is ask for a sign, and the universe will provide it. Keep an eye out for the color red, sunflowers, gold coins, and the number 888 — for some of y’all, that’s the sign you’ve been looking for. For those in relationships or who recently met someone new, the end of July is a really promising time to take things to the next level, with both Venus and Mars opposite Jupiter.
Aquarius: Go outside and get some fresh air, because staying inside and keeping to yourself is really causing you to miss out on the simple but fun things in life like enjoying the sun and being at the beach with friends. A potential trip might be taking place this month; if you have nothing planned, take this as a sign to say yes to that impromptu weekend trip, let loose and have fun! Once you’re out, be prepared — you’ll definitely be in the spotlight and many will find themselves irresistibly attracted to you. You have a glow to you; soak in the attention and the fun it brings! For so long you’ve focused on your responsibilities, the future, and what went wrong in the past. Enough is enough! Allow yourself to relax and enjoy some time off from overthinking so much, especially because the end of the month will bring a lot of heavy transits your way and will lead to a lot of overthinking, poor self-esteem and feeling restricted due to a lot of situations out of your control popping up.
Pisces: Something did not go your way at all and you feel like a dream of yours has been shattered. It’s ok to be sad but at some point you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again. This second time around stop letting outside influences get to you; some of you care way too much about how your work will be perceived by others or if people will support you. Put a little bit more love and enthusiasm into what you do and you’ll see how much easier it will be to take the initiative and get work done. Matter of fact, channel your frustrations into your work or creative outlet. What you currently don’t realize is that there’s an untapped gift within you and worrying about if you’re going to hit a certain amount of likes is never going to help you unlock that gift. Shift your focus, reprioritize your time and energy and get to it, Pisces. Stop sleeping on yourself. Now is an especially potent time to prepare and make plans, as there is lots of money to be made and it can’t happen unless you actually buckle down and do the work.
