Your July Horoscopes

July is hot and I'm not talking about the temperature, but that hot-tempered, passionate, and explosive kind of heat. The month starts with warrior Mars, your ruler, antagonizing powerful and volatile Pluto. It is a clash of wills at the extreme. While Pluto controls with domination, Mars is aggressive and ready to fight. Pluto is the Supreme Court and Mars is everyone who opposes their ruling against women. Roe Rage is the kind of energy we’re dealing with. Aries, you are a fighter, but hold on to your ketchup—you’d never throw a toddler tantrum as an adult, right? Conflict is an inevitable part of life and you're the warrior, so confrontation comes naturally to you, but choose your power struggles wisely. Be mindful of rash knee-jerk reactions that play out in your house of career and your self-identity. You'll calm down by July 4 when your ruler, Mars, enters pleasure-loving Taurus activating your house of cash, self-worth, and talents. Now you can focus on the practical details, like your money, spending habits and budgeting. Mars comes around every two years to energize this area of your chart, offering you stability, consistency and patience. Mercury enters tender Cancer on the same day, shifting communication to a more thoughtful and considerate tone. You may be more sentimental, reflecting on your family and home life. Call your mom or motherly figures in your life and share some loving kindness. A full moon in Capricorn arrives on July 13, illuminating your house of career. This lunation is serious and responsible. Pluto conjuncts the moon, revealing hidden matters and insight. Worry and fears can arise concerning work-life balance; your home life is beckoning. Set the concerns aside and tend to your personal life. Venus, the planet of love and harmony, enters Cancer on July 17, when you should tend to your home and those who matter most to you. Slow down, hang at home, and focus on improving your family dynamics. Mercury enters Leo on July 19, where he is expressive, bold and bright! Your mind shifts from the past to the present, offering clarity, creativity, and decisiveness. Mercury decides to go up against feisty Mars on July 26 and it’s an explosive combination. The energy is volatile, tense, and aggressive. It may be challenging to calm your mind, so breathe, exercise, meditate and do whatever it takes. A new moon in Leo arrives on July 28, igniting your house of romance, kids, and self-expression. Time to play! Fall in love Aries, be it with yourself, your partner, or new love. Hang out with kids or your inner kid; this lunation is vitalizing and joyful and needed during these volatile times!

July is akin to experiencing all the extremes in weather within one month, so get prepared. The month begins with warrior Mars going up against Pluto, making for a combustible clash of wills. As a collective, we are reeling from last month's dismantling of women’s civil rights and liberties. Add to that the OMFG revelations from the January 6 hearings and, well, it’s a storm alright. Take cover from flying plates of ketchup. Mars will enter Taurus on July 4, infusing you with energy, drive, and fierce determination. However, you may feel impatient or agitated as things may not move as quickly as you wish. Taurus, you are known for your calm and patience, but you'll have to dig deep to keep that Zen vibe. On the same day, Mercury enters Cancer and communication is intuitive, thoughtful, and considerate. You are curious about learning while connecting with your siblings and neighbors. Invest in technology for your home—maybe one day you can say, “Hey Siri, clean my house!” as an AI robot sweeps through your living room. A full moon in Capricorn arrives on July 13, illuminating travel, spirituality, and learning. You may be yearning for deeper meaning in your life. This lunation is serious; add transformative, powerful Pluto into the mix and you’ve got some serious insight. If you’re worried, this lunation will bring your worries to the surface for you to stoically address them. Your ruler Venus enters Cancer on July 17, where she is nurturing, protective, and deeply caring. Your relationships with siblings and neighbors can nourish and deepen. You can nurture yourself through exchanging ideas, learning, and short trips. July 26 is a heated day as Mercury clashes with Mars in Leo and Taurus, both unyielding signs. As a result, interactions with others are volatile; you can be especially aggrieved. The energy is one of tension, discord, and aggressive thinking. Once you lose your cool, you can just become the raging bull; please be aware of the warning. These energies will play between you and your home and family only for a day. A few days later, a glorious new moon in Leo arrives on July 28, smoothing any discord in your home life. This positive lunation revitalizes and uplifts, urging you to look towards the future. What are your dreams and goals for your home life? Think big; the benefic planet Jupiter is adding assistance. Leo is where we find our joy; your home is essential to your happiness. On the last day of the month, you'll want to break free of any constraints that no longer serve you, with unpredictable Uranus conjunct the North node.  You can be incredibly resistant to change, but this alignment is liberating. What is certain you will change—for the better!

What skills are you showcasing to the world? This alluring activation can bring new possibilities for increasing marketing, work, and income. Mars enters Taurus on the same day and, after six weeks of full-on-energy, it finally slows down. Mars will be in your house of solitude to retreat and, if possible, work remotely or solo. You may feel tired, so rest, spend time in nature and try to remain still. A full moon in Capricorn arrives on July 13 as  conjunct Pluto illuminates your house of shared resources, finances, investments, and personal angst.

Venus in Cancer is caring, intuitive, security-driven, and protective. In addition, Venus brings harmony, improvements, budget and a close-up of where you are spending your cash. Cancer wants security—it's money in the bank so tighten up. You actually may enjoy it. Your ruler Mercury moves into Leo on July 19, activating your house of communication, learning, and community. So, Gemini, you can talk about everything you've held in while Mercury was in Cancer. In Leo, your communication style can be dramatic, bold, confident, and optimistic. July 26 brings a combustible aspect, with Mercury in Leo, which will antagonize warrior Mars in Taurus, two unyielding fixed signs. Interactions are volatile and aggressive, bringing out the worst of each planet and sign. Gemini, your mind can be overactive, with angry ruminations or repressed thoughts.

Add to that the OMFG January 6 hearing and things seem combustible indeed. It may be challenging to calm your mind; watch your thoughts and do not let them disturb your well-being. A rageful Leo is indeed scary; you are the lion king. Your career takes center stage as Mars enters Taurus on July 4; he comes around every two years to shake up what has become stagnant.

You like intensity and July delivers big time! The first of the month has aggressive Mars antagonizing powerful Pluto. A battle of wills filled with defiance and outrage, it’s a reflection of the egregious court rulings that have dismantled 50 years of women’s civil rights and liberties in a single day.

Uranus, the rebel planet, turns retrograde on August 19; he has been stirring up your 7th house of personal and professional relationships since 2018. You are getting used to this energy! Take an honest look at where you hold on too tight and are less inclined to be flexible. Loosen up that grip and you'll feel a lot lighter and accomplished. The North Node is where you grow, stretch, and can’t get enough of. Do expect the unexpected and revel in it!

July kicks off with a fierce battle of wills, as domineering Pluto aims to overtake aggressive Mars.

We see it with the Supreme Court, Pluto, dismantling women’s civil rights and liberties, versus those of us, represented by Mars, who oppose it. Disturbing times, indeed.

Take the road less traveled, literally or figuratively, to find your passion. But, most importantly, you are on the eternal quest for meaning in your life; seek it and remember to look within. On the same day, your ruler Jupiter, the King of Gods, turns retrograde in Aries. It does not have the same effect as other planets during their retrogrades. Stretch yourself and whatever you had initiated back in May, keep at it. You may need to re-prioritize and push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Aries is the initiator; you can now clarify your plans and goals which are in for a major overhaul! Jupiter is reworking your house of creativity, joy, romance and kids. Look to the future on how you want to live your adventurous life! Cheers to a wild July!

July brings heat, love, and explosive eruptions.

Mars comes around every two years to jump-start this area of your life. The most productive use of Mars energy is on home improvements, beautifying, gardening and enjoyment.
