Your Key Dates:

  • July 22: Prioritize your happiness


You’ve been feeling like something is a bit off with your crew, and this month, you’re about to find out exactly what’s going on. Eclipse season officially kicks off on July 2, when a solar eclipse in Cancer illuminates the sky. This is the third eclipse in the series. They previously occurred on July 12, 2018 and January 5, 2019. Think back to these dates, Taurus babe. Was tension high with a close friend, classmate, or colleague? Pay close attention to how events in early July align with your previous situations. This could be major.

Of course, you may want to cross-check your sources after July 7 when Mercury goes retrograde. Yes, Taurus, it’s happening again. For the second time in 2019, the planet of expression will begin cruising in reverse. Though Mercury Retrograde isn’t the end of the world, it can definitely lead to some interpersonal meltdowns. During this cosmic reversal, be sure to check your sources twice.


Eclipses always travel in pairs, and the second eclipse of the month occurs on July 16. This lunar eclipse will create a powerful tension between the areas of your chart linked to local community and far-away adventure, encouraging you to think outside your comfort zones. Could it be that your peers are holding you back? While it’s important to have close connections, remember that there is so much that exists beyond the horizon. If you don’t make room to expand, how will you ever grow?


Domestic matters take precedent when the Sun drifts into Leo on July 22. You’re fiercely loyal-but with your steadfast spirit also comes that signature stubborn sensibility. If a tough situation has been causing you undue stress, sashay away. On July 31, a cosmic double-feature (a New Moon in Leo and Mercury ending retrograde) will inspire you to take action. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to have a difficult conversation with your roommate, parent, or partner, plan to open this dialogue at the end of the month. Why carry these bad vibes into August, Taurus love? Your happiness should always be your priority!
