Capricorn babe, the next few weeks will be important for you even though it isn’t your birthday month. Two major eclipses will be shaking up your life in an extremely profound way. The drama kicks off on July 2, when a solar eclipse in Cancer blankets the sky, activating your partnership zone. I’m NGL, eclipses are very extra. Expect radical changes to occur in your interpersonal dynamics at the beginning of the month. Don’t fret, eclipses only ever expedite the inevitable. The only transformations that will take place are those already destined to occur.

Sudden shifts in your bonds feel pretty significant, but try not to take everything so seriously (*cough* for once in your life *cough*). On July 7, Mercury, the planet of expression, goes retrograde, and everything is about to be a major shitshow. Communication breakdowns, technology failures, and aggravating travel delays will be inevitable through July 31. The best thing you can do is to release some of the pressure. Let it go, Capricorn! You can’t control everything, so you might as well have some fun with this wonky Moonwalk!

The second eclipse of the month occurs on July 16. If you thought the first one was important, well, get ready for round two. As the Moon in your own sign faces off with Cancer (your opposite) in the sky, dynamic tension will form between your sense of self and relationship expectations. You may soon discover that the people you were once attracted to are no longer cutting it, and that’s totally fine. Eclipses shift our perspective, but they also help us get back on track with our highest vibration. What once served you may no longer be working, so under this sky, remember that it’s totally fine to change your mind.

Leo season kicks off on July 22 when the Sun drifts out of Cancer and into this fiery sign. Over the next few weeks, you may find yourself in a reflective state of mind as you process all of the radical transformations that occurred. This is an excellent time to reach out to old friends, look through journals, or sift through family archives. In fact, during the New Moon on July 31, don’t be surprised if you stumble upon a very important piece of information from your past. Your previous experiences may reveal critical information about your current realities, so use this month’s final lunation to look under the hood.
