Aries (March 21-April 19)
The word consider, broken down to its etymological roots, means with or together with (con) the stars (sidus). What are you considering this month? The Cancer sun asks for your quiet meditation and contemplation. It's the most fertile time of year for you, but ideas often must germinate quietly behind the scenes. When the sun enters Leo on July 22, it urges you out of the contemplative shadows and pushes you into the light. Balance the two distinct energies of the month by riding the waves or being in consideration.
Mars ambles through Taurus until July 20, slowing your external world. You'll notice this in subtle ways—people driving too slowly, taking their time to respond to emails, or holding up check-out lines. All of these minor frustrations are to help you understand the value of pausing the current busyness. Take deep breaths and stick to your mindfulness practices.
Neptune stations retrograde on July 2, sending you into a mystical, magical, altered state of reality. Your dreams might be more vivid, especially as Jupiter moves into a quintile aspect with it on July 18. Make time for spiritual exploration or a retreat. Creativity is at a height, and your creative expressions could be tools for healing at the end of the month.
Family visits and reunions delight your days as the sun moves through Cancer up to July 22. On July 21, the Capricorn full moon highlights your professional life in ways that could lead to a greater sense of fulfillment. It is a rare second full moon in the sign of ambition this year. Let your ego rest, and let your heart lead the way.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
When the sun is in Cancer, we yearn to be a part of a tribe. We draw to family and close friends. It's a nostalgic time. However, Mars in your sign activates all your annoyances and frustrations this month. The voice in the back of your mind says I need space. Or it exclaims, I want it my way! Should you accept it, your mission is to befriend the discomfort of polarized feelings or contradictory thoughts. Mars meets trickster Uranus on July 15 for a day of excitement that could invite the kind of chaos that precedes a significant life change. After July 20, Mars will move through Gemini, and any restlessness will subside.
On July 5, the new moon in Cancer opens your mind to new ideas, making it an excellent time to start a new course, write, or engage in significant conversations. Your words carry weight now, so use them to state clear intentions and form deeper connections. It's a lunation that invites neighborly chats and picnic outings. Two weeks later, the Capricorn full moon on July 21 helps lift your mind to see an expanded worldview. Travel plans could lead to spiritual growth.
When your ruling planet, Venus, enters Leo on July 11, it turns your attention to home and family. You might be inspired to redecorate, host gatherings, or spend more quality time with loved ones. When the sun enters Leo on July 22, it adds more of a spotlight to that area of your life. These transits enhance your desire to make your home a sanctuary.
Mars energizes your finances as it moves into Gemini on July 20. You could feel motivated to pursue new income streams or find clarity for financial questions. Be mindful of impulsive spending!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Insatiably curious, you crave novelty, and this month allows you to learn through experience. You're learning to deepen your intuition and trust your instincts. Mercury enters Leo on July 2, introducing a period of creativity, but brainstorming takes stillness and spaciousness in your schedule. Instead of being the party planner, allow yourself to be invited. Venus enters Leo on July 11, suggesting a fun month in your forecast.
As the sun moves through Cancer (until July 22), your mind relaxes and gives your intuition center stage. Neptune stations retrograde on July 2, and the subtle haze colors your world with a rosy tint. Instead of careful deliberation, you might make financial decisions based on your first reaction. Trust yourself, especially on July 15 when passionate Mars meets electrifying Uranus. This transit could spark fireworks; express yourself carefully, letting your heart lead.
The planet of impulse, Mars, is in the slow, steady sign of Taurus, helping you refrain from making a rash, impulsive decision. You're practicing patience this month. Mars moves into your sign on July 20, activating your drive for adventure. Until then, take precautions by discussing unresolved disputes and double-checking to ensure you've responded to all important messages. I'll remind you of Jupiter's place in your sign, a transit that makes us feel invincible. Keep that in mind to avoid signing up for too many responsibilities.
The full moon on July 21 is the second one in Capricorn this year, a rare event that means you have an invitation to get serious about your intentions and take steps to improve the areas of life that feel neglected. Organization is a keyword around that time. Finish your chores before the sun enters Leo and treats you to soulful relaxation.
