Your Key Dates:

  • July 2: Don’t take action based on your feels

  • July 7: Catch your breath

  • July 16: Avoid jumping to conclusions

  • July 22: TURN. UP.


You’re legit always ready for an adventure, which is a good thing because July is-to put it simply-doing the most. The month kicks off with a solar eclipse in Cancer on July 2, marking the third installment of this eight-part series. For you, this lunation triggers a lot of deep, introspective feelings. You may find yourself recalling lots of past memories and experiences under this sky. Let these move through you, Sagittarius darling. Just because you’re thinking about your ex doesn’t mean you need to slide into their DMs. Just saying.

Be careful not to send any messages impulsively from July 7 through July 31. For the second time in 2019, Mercury, the planet of expression, goes retrograde. During Mercury’s reverse motion, everything involving community gets a bit dicey. Technology meltdowns, travel delays, and interpersonal faux pas will be abundant. It can be a bit of a downer, but don’t let it kill your vibe, Sagittarius love. This cosmic about-face is a time for reflection, so rather than bulldoze full-steam ahead, take this opportunity to catch your breath.


Ready for even more drama? Of course you are, Sagittarius babe! This month’s second eclipse occurs on July 16, when the Sun and Moon oppose each other in the sky. Unlike Full Moons (when the Moon glows at maximum illumination), the shadow of the Earth projected on the Moon during an eclipse, creating an unusual, tawny coloration. Similarly, your perspective may be a bit skewed during this eclipse, so try to keep your cool mid-month. This eclipse series will continue through 2020, so even though you may not receive all the information right now, trust that you’re moving in the right direction.

Pretty intense stuff, huh? Don’t worry, you’ll still have lots of time to play. On July 22, the Sun moves into like-minded Leo, a fire sign that definitely knows how to turn up. This is perfect for you because over the next few weeks, Leo energy will fuel your own fire. How can you celebrate your most authentic self, Sagittarius love? You’ll be focused on feeding your curiosities through exploration, storytelling, and lots of spontaneous weekend trips. The New Moon in Leo on July 31 (which also coincides with the end of Mercury Retrograde, hallelujah!) will encourage you to indulge your truest desires. At the end of the day, you’re in charge of your own destiny. Have fun with it.
