Aries (March 21-April 19)
You were born under the sign of the trailblazer, and your life path is self-defined. You've got grit and determination, even in the face of unexpected challenges. When life tosses you a curveball, you can rely on your ability to charge forth in a new way. This month might test your Aries adaptability. The Capricorn full moon on July 3 asks you to be willing to surrender if you feel stuck and open to something new.
Mars enters Virgo on July 10, the sign of organization, granting you the mental resources to defend a position or declare a desire. The red planet fuels your desire to become more involved with your community to transmute any frustration or fury. With Mercury entering Leo that same day, you have a gift for expressing yourself. The messenger planet graces your writing, speaking, or teaching projects until July 28.
The Cancer new moon on July 17 could make nostalgia a driving force, and you may be pulled toward nurturing relationships. Can you soften your boundaries and believe others want to love you without ulterior motives? The Cancer sun gently offers this reflection question. As Venus shines in Leo all month, others will pluck your heartstrings. Let love feel flirty, fun, and free. Venus goes retrograde on July 22, and it could bring you in contact with lovers from the past.
The most significant transit of the month is the North Node's entry into your sign on July 17. For 18 months, you will redefine purpose according to your soul's design. No more saying yes to mediocrity. Own your power to shape your life.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The Cancer sun sends bittersweet waves of nostalgia through your heart. It's one thing to reminisce, but it's another to long for the way things used to be. Can you appreciate—no, celebrate—your life in the present moment? As Venus stations retrograde on July 22, you'll explore all facets of the inquiry as you enter into 40 days of introspection and self-discovery.
Venus in Leo is flirty and wants you to have fun, but your Taurean sensibilities may not align with frolicking. If that describes you, draw toward beauty and sensual experiences in your everyday life. Stop and smell the roses, especially at the time of the Cancer new moon on July 17, when creativity abounds.
The North Node destiny point has been in your sign since 2021, but it enters Aries on July 17, freeing you to live life without as much intensity. Life has pushed you beyond your comfort level, and how beautifully you've stretched in new directions! This month's astrology indicates a leveling-off period for foundational growth.
Mercury in Leo from July 10-28 helps you bridge the intellect and the heart. It urges you to be more artful with your words, making it an excellent time for creative writing projects or public speaking. On July 27, Mercury meets Venus and shines hope for cooperative communication with family members. During Venus's retrograde cycle, you could reconnect with loved ones from the past in a way that could heal a rift or offer context for a disappointing encounter.
Your life is in the process of expansion through pleasure. What brings you joy? What feels exciting? Follow those experiences, activities, and relationships to bring Jupiter's abundance to light.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
I encourage you to gaze at the night sky at least once this month, allowing the magnitude to inspire wonder. You're more in tune with your purpose, and as the North Node enters Aries on July 17, you can let wonderment motivate your steps toward fulfilling it.
This month's astrology stirs your emotions, and nostalgia could lead you to search for answers about your personal and familial history. If you feel drawn to dig through old photos, be prepared with a box of tissues. Any tears shed will have purification effects, helping you open space for blessings in your personal life, especially with the Cancer new moon on July 17.
The Capricorn full moon on July 3 highlights financial matters for you, allowing you to face fears that might keep you stuck in a situation that isn't working for you. We can see in the dark during the full moon, and our shadows emerge for discovery. We do some of our most soulful work and clarify what keeps us from more meaningful lives.
Mars enters Virgo on July 10, which could be a hectic time in your home with renovation projects or moves. If you're working on a project, rest often and avoid over-extending yourself to keep clumsiness at bay.
Venus is in flirtatious Leo all month, and while this influence is generally favorable for your social life, you could feel more introverted after it stations retrograde on July 22. Prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to time with friends. Relationships have moved through rough patches this year, especially in the past two months. July offers a chance to communicate from the heart, leading to a breakthrough.
