Can you believe it’s July already, Capricorn? The month starts off tense. Matters that have been bubbling beneath the surface in your family or living situation are exposed. If you’ve been noticing toxic behaviors or power plays, you may have no other option than to call someone out. This is a reminder to surrender to what you cannot control. Mars, the planet of energy and drive, enters Taurus on July 4, shifting your energetic focus to more positive matters! You’re feeling creatively recharged and ready to invest your time in things that bring joy into your life. Also on July 4, Mercury enters Cancer and healing conversations can take place within some of your closest relationships.

The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 13 is an emotional time. This is a period of unearthing your shadow side and staring at it face-on in the mirror. Unhealthy power plays, manipulative tendencies, and obsessive thinking can overtake your mind. While this Full Moon will be emotional, you're meant to reflect on behaviors you need to let go of. How can you be the healthiest version of yourself? What boundaries do you need to set? The Sun and Mercury unite in Cancer on July 16, bringing a moment of clarity to your relationships. Pay attention to people and their motives today. Venus joins in on the fun the following day on July 17 and enters Cancer, too. This is a harmonious time for your relationships—romantic, platonic, and even business.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Leo on July 19, and you’re ready to reflect more on your inner world and psyche. You want to understand your personal motives and patterns. The Sun enters Leo on July 22, which can spur an interest in working with someone else on your psychological foundation. This is a powerful time to work with a therapist or engage in some self-reflection. Powerful people may also be ready to invest in you and your ideas. A difference of opinion could lead to some hurt feelings on July 24 when Venus in Cancer forms a square with Jupiter in Aries. Fundamental beliefs you or your family hold could be at odds with your partner or someone you care about deeply. Although a disagreement could arise, this is a productive time to talk through any differing values and hopes for the future, like where you want to live and if you want to start a family.

The New Moon in Leo on July 28 signals a new opportunity to regain your power. This is a new beginning and a chance to transform. You have it within you to heal yourself; now is your chance to begin again. On the same day, Jupiter stations retrograde in Aries, reminding you that your behaviors and patterns were learned through your family. How has this impacted your wellbeing? Are there cycles that you’re ready to break free from? A scarcity mindset can creep in at the end of the month on July 30 when Mercury in Leo sits across the sky from Saturn in Aquarius. Don’t let this “no” define you. Try to reframe this as the universe protecting you from something. An aligned financial opportunity will come soon.
