Your Key Dates:

From August 2016 through February 2019, eclipses on the Leo-Aquarius axis had been totally rocking your world. Everything changed in your life, and you’re still acclimating to all the transformation. Finally, your eclipse series is officially over as the energy shifts to the Cancer-Capricorn axis. But just because the eclipses aren’t directly targeting your realities doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.

On July 2, a solar eclipse in Cancer will encourage you to take an honest look at your day-to-day realities. How are you spending your time, Aquarius babe? If you’ve quietly swapped your impassioned, futuristic thinking for a more mundane reality, these eclipses will unravel your normalcy. You’re an innovator-your eccentricities define your spirit! Why settle for normal when you can be fabulous?


Mercury Retrograde will also stir the pot on July 7 as the planet of communication begins cruising backward. When this swift-moving celestial body goes reverse, everything gets a little weird. Even a seemingly harmless typo can quickly transform into a total calamity, so be sure to read and reread every message with a discerning eye. You definitely want to avoid sending that snarky remark about Karen to your entire office. Come to think of it, may be best to avoid the “reply all” button at all costs. It’s just not worth the nightmare.

As if all that wasn’t enough, the month’s second eclipse occurs on July 16 when the Sun and Moon form a powerful opposition. Just before 6 p.m. EST (and right in time for your happy hour cocktails), these two luminaries will create some serious tension. This will be impacting you emotionally, so don’t be surprised if you feel extra exhausted under this electric sky. I wouldn’t advise taking any major action during this lunation, so cancel your plans and get to bed early. Let’s be honest, Aquarius love, you could use the rest!

Finally, Leo season begins on July 22 as the Sun drifts into this vibrant fire sign. For you, Leo energy activates your partnership zone, encouraging you to think in pairs. I know you’re extremely independent, Aquarius, but even lone wolves travel in their pack every now and then! On July 31, a New Moon in Leo will ask you to consider the value of a "plus one." You can go further faster when you join forces, so whether you're committing to a romance or an enterprise, the next few weeks are all about finding your cosmic companion.
