The Full Moon in your sign on July 3 reminds you that you deserve to focus on yourself. This is your once-a-year cosmic shedding of your skin. How do you wish to redefine yourself and the narrative around who you are? Important shifts in close relationships can also take place as you make your needs known. This is a sensitive and reflective day, so make time for self-care. Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, enters Leo on July 10, inviting you to explore your inner world and psyche. You may also find that some of the closest people in your life are relying on you for emotional support. Healing, surrender, and release of the past is also possible, and practically speaking you may have important conversations about shared responsibilities and finances with a partner.
The North Node enters Aries and the South Node enters Libra on July 17, bringing a dramatic shift to the areas of your life where you will experience eclipses and fated events over the next 18 months. You will experience changes in your living situation, relationships with your family members, and your understanding of your past, family history, sense of security, career, and public reputation. You may live in an entirely new place or have a drastically different career after this eclipse series ends. On the same day, a New Moon in Cancer brings a new chapter to important relationships in your life. You may be getting serious with someone new, beginning a new collaborative project, or focusing on reconnecting with a lover. Mercury in Leo clashes with Jupiter in Taurus later in the day, inspiring passionate and emotional conversations. You may share a secret desire or receive some support for a creative project.
July 20 is an odd day in the stars. On one hand, the Sun in Cancer mingles sweetly with Neptune in Pisces, making for a creative and collaborative environment. At the same time, Mars in Virgo stares down Saturn in Pisces, stirring up tension and frustration in some of your conversations. It’s easy to be at odds with another person, especially if you're sharing ideas and plans for the future. Keep in mind this is a temporary cosmic speed bump. Don’t try to force a solution. Remain patient; this too shall pass. Be mindful of your words and today—there is potential to hurt others’ feelings or take things very personally.
The Sun in Cancer locks eyes with Pluto in Capricorn on July 21, forcing you to look at the hidden dynamics in some of your closest connections. Confronting feelings of jealousy, obsession, power, and control can lead to a cathartic breakthrough in your relationships. The next day, Venus, the planet of love, harmony, and finances, goes retrograde. Frustration can arise when it comes to shared resources with partners. It’s also possible to experience a delay in payments. Exes and people from your past are likely to reappear. Are these connections that are worth your energetic investment or are they better off left in the past? You’ll come to a conclusion over the next few weeks—take your time. The Sun enters Leo the same day, bringing more attention to these topics over the whole of Leo season. Support may arrive in some form, whether that’s emotional or financial.
Mercury in Leo brushes up against Uranus in Taurus on July 23 and secrets may be revealed! It’s also possible to receive some surprising support for a creative project. This is also spicy and sexy energy–share your hidden desires with a lover if it feels right! A financial breakthrough arrives on July 27 when Mercury in Leo meets with Venus in Leo. This can coincide with a moment of surrender, compassion, and forgiveness for yourself or someone else. The following day, Mercury enters Virgo, and you’re in a more explorative and expansive mood. You’re ready to zoom out, have fun, travel, and learn something new. Feed your curiosity over the next few weeks.
