The Full Moon in Capricorn lights up the sky on July 3, teleporting us back to December 23, 2022, when we had the last New Moon in Capricorn. What intentions did you set around that time? Today you’re tasked with celebrating your growth and progress. Some exciting and unexpected news arrives on July 6 when Mercury in Cancer connects with Uranus in Taurus. Following your intuition can lead to innovative solutions today. Healing conversations can take place on July 9 when Mercury in Cancer shares a kiss with Neptune in Pisces, radiating understanding and ease in your conversations.

Mars, the planet of motivation, anger, and sex, enters analytical Virgo on July 10. You're going after what you want with precision and a plan. On the same day, Mercury in Cancer sits across the sky from Pluto in Capricorn, stirring up tense conversations about power struggles, the taboo, and secrets. Transformation is in the air, but a cathartic release can pave the way for a fresh start. Later on the same day, Mercury shifts into loud Leo, reminding you that you are the main character in your life. It’s time to focus on yourself and your passions.

You're ready to try something new on July 14 when the Sun in Cancer gently connects with Uranus in Taurus. You may feel like ditching your responsibilities in favor of adding a little more excitement to your day. This is also a wonderful day to shake up your personal style. The Nodes of Destiny make a significant shift on July 17 when the North Node enters Aries and the South Node enters Libra. The Nodes of Destiny represent the axis, or the two zodiac signs, where we will experience eclipses in for the next 18 months. Karmic endings and beginnings will take place in the houses that Aries and Libra occupy in your birth chart. The last time the Nodes moved through Aries and Libra was from December 2004 through June 2006. What was going on in your life around this time? Similar themes may come up again.

On the same day, there is a New Moon in Cancer, and Mercury, the planet of communication, will brush up against Jupiter in Taurus. The New Moon in Cancer marks a new beginning in your relationship with your inner world, the past, your living environment, and the important people in your life. The Moon will form connections with compassionate Neptune and controlling Pluto, which may task you with confronting what’s been lurking in the shadows. Extending self-forgiveness and grace can be incredibly healing. Mercury and Jupiter’s connection can lead to overcommitting and biting off more than you can chew. This can be incredibly encouraging and inspiring energy, but there is a tendency to over-promise and underdeliver. Try to keep one foot on the ground!

A mellow, creative, and romantic vibe takes over the skies on July 20 when the Sun in Cancer meets with Neptune in Pisces. This is a wonderful day to tune into the synchronicities around you. On the same day, Mars in Virgo will sit across the sky from Saturn in Pisces. Mars and Saturn are two of the most difficult planets in the sky, and this can lead to a frustrating and disappointing energy throughout the day. You may feel blocked or weighed down by your responsibilities or burdens. Luckily, the Sun and Neptune will lend some understanding and hopefully soften any blows. The next day, here comes drama: On July 21, the Sun in Cancer faces off with Pluto in Capricorn, bringing you back to July 10 when Mercury stared down Pluto. Similar topics may come up today, especially related to control, jealousy, manipulation, power struggles, or fixations.

One of the most important astrological events of 2023 takes place on July 22 when Venus, the planet of love, harmony, values, and finances, goes retrograde in Leo until September 3. Venus Retrograde is a 40-day period to reflect on and refine the important relationships in our lives. Exes are likely to resurface, even more so than during a Mercury Retrograde. The last time Venus was retrograde in Leo was in August and September 2015. What sort of drama was going on in your love life or financial world around this time? Similar topics may resurface.

On the same day, the Sun enters Leo, adding more flair and fun to our daily lives. Yes, Leo season is finally here! The Sun’s favorite sign to move through is Leo, so this transit can add a little more stability and optimism to your life. You're choosing to shock others with self-expression on July 23 when Mercury in Leo clashes with Uranus in Taurus. Information you learn today have may lead you down a new path altogether.

Then, encouraging news arrives on July 27 when Mercury in Leo connects with Venus in Leo. This is a lucky day to sign contracts, or you may receive some tantalizing news that revs up your heart! The following day, communication planet Mercury enters Virgo, asking you to use your discernment when it comes to problem-solving. You're focusing on daily life and routine, and editing out the excess. Mercury is at home when it travels through Virgo, lending some luck to communication and problem-solving, and bringing more ease and flow into your daily life.
