Say hello to July, Leo—it’s almost your birthday! And it’s also time to reacquaint yourself with your desire to control situations. You’re ready to confront anyone who disagrees with you when Mars in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn on July 1. Be careful which battles you pick, because everyone is coming from a reactive place right now. Mars, the planet of drive and ambition, enters Taurus at the top of your chart on July 4. There’s lots of movement going on in your career and you’re investing in your public reputation and image. Taking up space is your birthright, but with more recognition comes more haters. Set energetic boundaries as needed. Also on July 4, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Cancer and you may find yourself getting caught replaying some limiting beliefs in your head.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 13 will have you reflecting on where you’re giving your power away in work relationships. If a job or business relationship has overstayed its welcome, it may be time to cut ties. If you’ve been overworking, this can impact your health. Always prioritize your rest—capitalism can wait. The Sun and Mercury link up in Cancer on July 16. Your subconscious is speaking to you. Pay attention to signs from the universe, your dreams, and words or thoughts that appear in your mind seemingly out of nowhere. This information is meant to help illuminate your path forward. The following day on July 17, Venus enters Cancer. Perhaps you’re enjoying some time alone or craving some on-on-one time with your loved one; whatever it is, you're likely saying no to socializing. Allow yourself time to recharge. Avoid gossip at this time, too, as people may have hidden agendas.
You’re feeling a giant boost of energy when Mercury enters Leo on July 19. Your mental focus shifts back to yourself and your goals for the future. You’re entering a much-needed period of self-reflection. Are you proud of how you’re showing up in the world? Is there something want to change? The Sun enters your sign on July 22, sending along extra confidence! People of importance are noticing you, and your magnetism is off the charts. This is a time to invest in yourself; a personal goal you’ve had may finally reach fruition. Congrats—you’ve worked so hard for it! Pay attention to your words and tone on July 26 when Mercury in Leo forms a tense angle toward Mars in Taurus. Someone at work or on social media could make a comment about you that stings. This tense interaction is here to remind you of your innate strength. Stand back up and courageously carry on.
The New Moon in Leo on July 28 is the cosmic blessing you’ve been waiting for all year! New Moons are fresh starts and this one has everything to do with you and your sense of self. This New Moon forms a significant angle with Jupiter, the planet of luck and blessings, and your confidence, optimism, and inspiration feel overwhelming. Charge fearlessly forward and set new goals for yourself. On the same day, Jupiter Retrograde begins in Aries, asking you to turn inward and consider your belief systems. Are you practicing what you preach? The month ends with some tension escalating in your closest relationships. Mercury in Leo sits across from Saturn in Aquarius on July 30, and a difficult conversation that you’ve been avoiding takes place. Just know these feelings of heaviness will pass, and continuing this conversation will get easier.
