Your Mid-Year Horoscope for the Month of July Is Here
Astrologist Meghan Rose uncovers the celestial forecast for each sign as we enter the second half of the year.
Welcome to the sweet and sassy month of July! We enter this month still in the midst of Cancer season, which asks us to get cosy when we’re building out the home we live in, the home that exists inside of us, and the Earth as a third “home” space. We end the month in Leo season, where our bold and adventurous side gets to come out and play!
This month is bringing us a significant opportunity to realign with the life that we desire, but it will require you to set firm boundaries on your time, money, and energy towards anything that you are misaligned with – including the way you decorate. We enter July still in the midst of Cancer season, which encourages us to bring an intuitive, creative, and compassionate approach to all that we do before ending off the month in fiery Leo season – a time to truly be bold!
This month has several transits that will wake you up and ask you to have some fun, starting with Mercury entering Leo on July 2. This transit will bring us all a new level of confidence and really put a pep in our step when we’re connecting with others. Just a few days later, we have a New Moon in Cancer on July 5. The moon will be in its home sign during this lunation, bringing us a double serving of help while manifesting under this New Moon! On the 11th, Venus shifts into bold and brave Leo, joining Mercury and helping us to dress, act, and surround ourselves with confidence!
About a week later, Mars (the action planet of passion and aggression) enters dynamic and novelty-seeking Gemini. This can make things fun, flirty, and a bit complicated. Try not to take things too seriously during this time, and really allow your imagination to run wild as you take steps toward your goals. Just a day later, we will have a Full Moon in earthly Capricorn, reminding us all to release the people, things, and thought patterns that hold us back from being our best selves. On July 22, the sun enters Leo and Leo season officially arrives! After much build up from Mercury and Leo already entering into the fiery, proud energy earlier in the month, this shift away from Cancer season into Leo season will bring a much needed “brightening up” to your life and relationships! We end the month with Mercury (the planet of technology, travel, and communication) entering meticulous and calculated Virgo, which will help us to express ourselves more clearly before July closes out. Take advantage of your fifteen minutes this month!
To learn more about how July will affect you personally, read on below for both your sun and rising sign to get the most accurate insights for the month ahead!
Aries
There is something nice waiting for you in July, and this is a moment you’ve been waiting for! If you’ve felt like your life was always in a holding pattern, you will now be blessed with a breath of fresh air as July ushers in moments of blessings around each corner for you. When Venus enters fellow fire sign Leo on the 11th, there will be a chance for you to recalibrate towards your dreams, leaving the heavy weight of the past behind. You are going to overcome any hurdles coming your way. Believe in yourself and watch how powerful you become!
Taurus
There will be many moments of joy for you to bask in when July arrives. Not only is this a fabulous month for you as it’s broken up between two compatible energies for you (Cancer at the beginning, and fellow fixed sign Leo’s season starting on July 22nd), but you are also being granted a chance to upgrade your daily routines! You might be stepping into a better work-life balance, and it’s a lifestyle change that you deserve. It’s time to take yourself away from the continuous race and finally realise what your life is truly about: presentness and peace. Let July be the month that helps you lean into a better way of living for no one but yourself.
Gemini
It’s okay to take a pause this month and simply breathe, Gemini. There is nothing that is so dire that you have to deprioritise yourself any longer. Instead of focusing on the fickle and misaligned aspects of your life, you would benefit from using the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21st to release any parts of yourself that are reaching for the wrong things. Take the first few weeks of the month to remind yourself of who you are underneath all of the layers that you have built up to protect yourself from hurt or humiliation. When you start to wake up to the reality that you are the one you have to work on impressing (and no one else), life gets a whole lot easier.
Cancer
When Mercury (the planet of connection and communication) enters fiery Leo on the 2nd, you might feel a bit more restless than usual. Your sense of self will feel contingent upon how much praise and attention you get from those closest to you, but this is a great chance for you to start redefining the way you think and feel about yourself, Cancer. Working with a trained professional, surrounding yourself with likeminded people, and experiencing inspiring art or live performance can help you to wake up your own inner star. Let July be a chance for you to utilise all of that pent up energy for the betterment of your own existence from here on out!
Leo
The month of July is not only a time to celebrate due to your solar season arriving (happy early birthday, by the way my lions and lionesses!) – this is a great time of the year for you to bundle up your priorities and make a plan for a better life ahead. Without a plan, it’s going to be difficult to tackle the task ahead. Some of the most valuable things in life will come from putting in hard work. Don’t be turned away from tapping into your own dedication! Your future self will thank you for it.
Virgo
Things this month are going to be bright and new for you. You may have struggled with a sense of stagnancy lately, but the universe is going to switch things up a bit and bring you the fun and excitement that you deserve! When the Full Moon in fellow earth sign, Capricorn arrives on the 21st, you will start to feel like the sludge of your past has fallen away, leaving you ready to receive the blessings of the present moment. You are so capable and deserving, Virgo. You just have to believe in yourself this month in order to unlock the door to your dream life.
Libra
There’s so much more to you than what meets the eye, your zodiac sign, or what someone can look up about you online. It’s time for you to set the precedence when connecting with others about just how deep you can go. You are a talented and unique person who deserves to be seen for who you truly are. Don’t let old habits or preconceived notions hold you back from being more authentically you than ever before. Instead, get excited about embodying more of your authenticity this month - especially around the time that Venus enters Leo on the 11th! This transit will give you a boost of confidence and allow you to express yourself more clearly to the world around you.
Scorpio
The month of July is going to bring you something that you can celebrate all year long. When the New Moon in Cancer arrives on the 5th and lights up your chart with complimentary water energy, you will start to realise what it is that you truly want out of life and start to move accordingly. Instead of expressing your desires in a way that makes them feel unattainable, you will benefit from placing yourself in new relationships and environments this month that make your dreams coming true almost inevitable.Your life is what you make it, so make sure that you’re putting the right ingredients into the mixing bowl.
Sagittarius
You are not typically the person in the zodiac that seeks out comfort, but as a human being, living in your comfort zone can become quite addicting. It’s important for you to step outside into the unknown in July. Say “yes” to things and opportunities that challenge you to become a better and brighter version of yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised with how well your life starts to flow once you agree to be in your purpose. You are not meant to just work, sleep, and repeat anymore. Instead, it’s time to spark joy – not only in your own life, but in the lives of others by doing what you were always meant to be doing. Let Venus in Leo on the 11th help you become more confidently “you”!
Capricorn
Everyone loves to describe you as the money-hungry working person who’s obsessed with their finances. The truth is Cap, you just want to feel safe and secure with your life and those that you allow into it. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a sense of structure and reliability, however, this month is pushing you to create that feeling yourself. Once you are able to create routine and lifestyle habits that work well for you, you will naturally find yourself connected to the types of people that respect you, want to show up for you, and ultimately accept you for who you really are. How much more beautiful could life get than that? Give yourself a chance to try a new hobby or creative outlet that seems up your alley. You’ll be shocked at how easy it is to make friends (or maybe even more!) with someone who’s also interested in the same activities.
Aquarius
There is something magical happening in July that will help you to ease into the ebbs and flows of your existence more seamlessly. Look around and notice how much nature works off of “finite” experiences. Whether or not you are currently living in a rental, you can still respect the fact that certain parts of life are meant to be temporary in nature. When we cling too tightly onto things being the same way, the way that we know it, or simply to our expectations, it can leave us tired and uninspired. Instead, try to appreciate how much of life is unknown and unexpected! This way, you will never be too disappointed with how things are going, but more grateful for the experience you’re having.
Pisces
July might feel like a dream to you, and that is due to the New Moon in Cancer’s arrival on the 5th! You are being granted an opportunity to tap into your creativity and finally feel pleasure for the life that you already have. Instead of looking ahead, wishing for an unforeseen future, or hoping for something different, why not take inventory about what’s already working in your favour? You are a powerful force, Pisces, and your intuition is not something that can be replicated or learned! Lean into this magical power that you have and start to realise that the more trusting and relaxed you are in the present moment, the better things will unfold.
