July Horoscope

This month is about cultivating a fierce sense of self-trust. You will learn more about your own unique strength and resilience the more you lean into the challenges that arise.

We have a shift in lunar nodes signalling a new 18-month cycle. As the north node shifts into Aries, it’s a good time to put yourself first and let your individuality shine.

This month creates a maturing in each of us. As Venus enters its retrograde period, we are going to be reviewing matters of the heart and learning what is truly important.

Use the cosy, Cancerian energy to enjoy your own company and that of loved ones. The confidence you build this month will not come from external validation or over-identification with your ego. The confidence you can build will come from knowing yourself on a deep level and choosing to honour the entirety of you.

Key Dates

3rd July Full Moon in Capricorn

A time to get serious about your future visions and what may be holding you back from manifesting those visions. Set goals for the next 6 months. Get clear on what you need to release and leave in the past. Get very specific about the actions necessary for growth.

18th July North Node shifts into Aries

The beginning of an 18-month cycle where you are being encouraged to feel your own sense of personal power. This time period will highlight any co-dependency, enmeshment or insecure attachment patterns. You must learn to love yourself and put your needs first so that you can show up in your brightest light.

18th July New Moon in Cancer

This is a fertile new moon and a time of new beginnings. Be prepared to be awash with emotions. Cancer is a sign that will have your moods fluctuating, and you must allow your feelings to flow. Let the body guide you as you set intentions for your next creative projects, visions and wishes for the future. Pay close attention to your intuition.

23rd July Venus Retrograde in Leo

Anything that is related to love or money comes under review over the next month and a half. What themes are showing up for you? What aspects of your past are being highlighted? How worthy do you feel of abundance? Use this time period to boost your sense of self-worth. Don’t settle for something or someone that doesn’t reflect your deepest heartfelt desires.

Aries

This month is a time to let yourself feel tender. As you go through emotional ups and downs, call upon your loved ones, lean on your friends, and most importantly lean on yourself. You need to be your own cheerleader. Use positive affirmations, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself how well you are doing. The full moon shines light on your career. Where are you needing and willing to take on greater responsibility? Let your future self guide your next steps. It may mean letting go of something that once held a lot of gravity in your life. Let it go and let it be. On the night of the new moon, reflect on how much you have grown as a person and as a Soul over the last 18 months. Over the next 18 months, your sense of self worth is going to grow exponentially. You are about to step into a new version of you that is even more self-trusting, optimistic, evolved and elevated. You tend to wear your heart on your sleeve and this is a very endearing quality about you but this month, question if there are special parts of your life you wish keep sacred and private. This is not about hiding things out of shame or fear, but rather taking a moment to honour the parts of your life that mean a lot to you, that you’d rather not have everyone seeing or casting judgement upon. Set intentions about what is for the world to see, and what is just for you and your close circle.

Taurus

The new moon is a time to clarify your message. What do you want to voice to your wider community and what is the message you want to share with the people closest to you? You may have felt your throat chakra has been blocked recently, and this new moon is the perfect moment to clear it. Use a journal to get your ideas out onto paper. Who do you want to speak to? What do you want to say? What is your head telling you to say? What is your heart telling you to say? After you’ve reached a point of clarity, you will lean into the self-confidence you have been cultivating over the past 18 months to find the courage to share what wants to come through. The full moon is a great time to plan an adventure. There may a place you want to visit, a mentor you want to learn from, or simply a skill you want to acquire. Where are you seeking expansion? Make plans to make it happen. The full moon shines light on what is stagnant in your life so that you can let it go and clear your path forward. Later in the month, places a spotlight on your home environment. What can you shift to welcome more beauty, abundance and pleasure into your life? Never underestimate how your living spaces can influence the way you show up in other areas of your life. Creating physical shifts in your home base will have a strong ripple effect on how you show up in business and relationships.

Gemini

This month is a time to get curious about where you source your sense of self-worth from. Is it through personal achievements, relationships, material possessions, personal beliefs, physical appearance, societal contribution or something else? There is no right or wrong, but it’s a great time to build self-awareness and to really find those practices that allow you to feel worthy irrespective of your external circumstances. The full moon is an opportunity to do some cathartic cleansing. It may require emotional purging or cutting cords with toxic people. Confront the uncomfortable, and unearth whatever it is you’ve been ignoring. What or who do you need to let go of to truly feel free? The past 18 months have taught you a lot about your own subconscious programming. The new moon is a great time to reframe limiting beliefs and choose a more empowering story. Be careful with your communication this month, both in business and in relationships. You have a way with words but sometimes your mouth can run you into trouble even when you have the best of intentions. Be very considered with who you share information. Trust your intuition and let your energy do the talking. Sometimes what you don’t say can be more powerful than what you do.  Your networks and friendship circles are about to expand over the next 18 months. Find people who share similar values to you.

Cancer

The new moon is a time of personal reinvention. This reinvention is not because the old you isn’t good enough, but because your dreams and vision for yourself have evolved. You are entering a whole new era and this version of you is more empowered, self-knowledgeable, and ready for an up-level. The individuals you spend the most time and energy with can significantly influence your attitude, behaviours and overall outlook on life. Be very considered of the circles you operate within. This month is a good time to implement firmer boundaries, improve your communication skills and prioritise your own self-love and self-growth when in social situations. Your relationships are under review under the Capricorn full moon. What do you desire within a relationship? What are your basic needs? What are you willing to compromise on? What are you no longer going to settle for? There is a direct correlation with allowing yourself to be seen and wealth generation this month. What does it mean to be seen within the context of your career and business? What are you willing to bring into the light? Are you hiding parts of yourself due to shame or fear? It’s time to muster the courage to bring all parts of you to the surface. This kind of vulnerability requires self-acceptance. Challenge yourself to let your walls down a little and in turn, you will see your confidence grow.

Leo

This month is a powerful time for deep self-reflection. There is much to review about your career, public image and life direction. Do you feel you are living in alignment with your purpose? In what ways are you making an impact and contribution to the world? Whether you like it or not, you are creating a ripple effect in the world. The kind of vibrations you are radiating depends on the way you spend your time and energy. So the ultimate question is, what people, places, thoughts and behaviours bring you into a positive and high vibrational state? Plug into these sources as much as possible and watch how the world responds to that energy. The full moon is the perfect time to clean out your closet, clear out your schedule and generally get rid of any energetic gunk that is clogging your auric field. There are new routines and daily rituals to implement in your life and you need the space to welcome them in. Your self-confidence might waver drastically over the next 6 weeks. If you find yourself trying to prove your worth through external means, just relax and be yourself. In your natural essence, you radiate warmth, generosity and lightness of spirit and it is highly attractive. The next 18 months encourage you to travel and to go on deep spiritual explorations and self-discovery journeys. Feel into where your intuition is calling you from the middle of the month onward.

Virgo

This month is a time to look over your community and consider how aligned you feel with the people in your life. Don’t just think about the inner circle you spend most of your time with, but think about all of the other people you connect with and impact from a distance. The full moon shines a light on romance and creativity in your life. Is there someone you want to date? Is there a creative project you want to start? Recognise the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back and take action, however small, to combat those beliefs. You cannot fail. Regardless of what happens, there will always be a lesson or a laugh to enjoy afterwards. The new moon is a great time to clarify the values you want your community to hold. Who is truly worthy of your time? What kind of energy do you want to interact with? You might need to cut some cords, have some honest conversations or even remove yourself from social situations. Your relationships infiltrate your subconscious mind, and you want to be in a relationship with positive forces that support your cause. This month is a great time to meditate, journal and do deeper self-exploration. Your subconscious beliefs around love and money are highlighted. How worthy do you feel of love? How worthy do you feel of money? Uncover the stories you have playing in your mind so you can rewrite any limiting beliefs and start imagining the abundance you are truly deserving of. 

Libra

The new moon is a good time to set intentions around your career. What emotions do you feel when you think about work? What feels heavy? What feels light? Don’t ignore the physical signals your body is giving you. The full moon is a great time to retreat, go inward and spend time with your emotions. Consider your general lifestyle and how you could take better care of your energy. Do you need more sleep? More social interaction? More creativity? Only you will know what can truly bring balance. Give yourself the space to receive those answers from within. The new moon, later in the month, has a cleansing effect. Can you take the action necessary to release what is not for your highest good? What new business or relationship opportunities have entered your life in the past month? It is a good time to read the fine print, be selective with who you let into your world, and listen to your gut instincts. If something feels off or you want to explore something deeper, trust that. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and don’t just take things at face value. You deserve to be surrounded by people with pure intentions. The next 18 months will see an improvement in your self-esteem within relationships. Self-love is the foundation of all good relationships, and this is something you are going to embody more than ever before.

Scorpio

This month will bring you into contact with your greater life purpose. Get clear on your values, long-term visions and spiritual beliefs. You may find new spiritual teachers entering your life. Remember, a spiritual teacher can come in all forms, from a pet, to a shop assistant, to a character in your dream… You will know when you feel the connection is strong. The full moon is a lovely time to express messages of gratitude to the people who uplift and inspire you. Community support is so important in your next phase of growth. Be selective with the people you connect with. Increase the time you spend with energy lifters and decrease the time you spend with energy drainers. On the new moon reflect on the ups and downs of your relationships over the past 18 months. If there were obstacles, what lessons did you gain? What did you learn about your own strength and resilience? Let your past experiences give you faith that you will survive any future challenges that come your way. Career changes are in store over the next 6 weeks. Anything that feels misaligned will become painstakingly obvious. You are advised not to make hasty business decisions. Take your time and be considered. Over the next 18 months, you need to structure your daily life in a way that truly illustrates your own self-worth. What needs prioritising? What is not necessary or keeping you stuck?

Sagittarius

This month, you can give yourself permission to be a bit more private. You love to share your insights with others, but over the next few weeks, you will be more inclined to let things simmer inside. Take time out from the busyness and noise so that you can hear your own inner whispers. In your natural state, you feel inspired by life, you know how to create something from nothing, and you spread optimism through your community like wildfire. Sometimes it takes slowing down and being a little more introverted to reactivate that inner fire. The full moon is a great time to get serious about how you will support yourself financially over the next 6 months. Is there something that could be streamlined? Are you giving yourself the best possible chance for growth? You can dream bigger. As you step towards your dreams, you want to spend your time loving the process and not just wishing for the destination. The new moon is signalling fresh starts. Over the past 6 months, you have been served lessons about how to structure your life to really support your mental and emotional wellbeing. What parts of your day feel sacred? What practices put you into a good mindset? What connections leave you feeling uplifted? Let your answers inform how you map out your next 18 months. There are new investments to make and new relationships to form. 

Capricorn 

This month you might feel extra sentimental. Your mind may drift to past romances. You may find yourself laughing one moment and wanting to cry the next. Don’t place the pressure on yourself to keep up appearances. Even when so many things are going well in your world, it’s okay to have down days. You don’t have to keep it all together. In fact, when you let yourself just fall apart, you’ll realise how supported you actually are. The thought of releasing control is much scarier than the act. The full moon shines a light on your self-image. Are you spending too much time thinking about how others perceive you? Focus on trusting yourself and what you know to be true. The new moon is a great time to reflect on your self-confidence. You have come a long way in the last 18 months but sometimes you can be so focussed on what needs to occur in the future that you can forget to celebrate your achievements along the way. Take a moment to pause and acknowledge your efforts. As Venus retrograde occurs, you will be given opportunities to review your love and money beliefs. Over the next 6 weeks work through old insecurities so that you can show up healthily within your work and relationships.  As the North Node shifts into Aries, you will be creating a deeper sense of home for yourself. Meditate and journal on the concept of stability and what will bring more of it into your life.

Aquarius

This month is a great time to focus on your overall well-being. Your physical and energetic body has gone through many deep transformations over the past 18 months. You are now better attuned to your body’s needs and rhythms, so you must create a schedule and an environment that supports it. You have also become better attuned to your emotions. What experiences have stirred strong emotions within you in recent months? To make sure your energy field is clear, tune into any emotionally charged memories and send forgiveness, compassion and gratitude to the people involved. This way, you not only set them free, but you also set yourself free. Sometimes it’s hard to explain to others what you have gone through or why you feel the way you do. You don’t need to justify or provide a reason for anything you are processing internally; you just need to be present with yourself. The full moon is like a spiritual bath. You are shown what needs releasing and the steps you need to take to move your life forward. Write down what is not serving you and what you are ready to let go of and then imagine having it all over to the beams of the moon. Venus retrograde brings a lot of change to your relationships. You need to use your voice and share from the heart.

Pisces

This month is one to remain open-minded and curious about life. If you find yourself being quick to judge or make assumptions about people or experiences, you may rob yourself of some beautiful interactions and new learnings. It’s a good time to go slow, to feel things out and also to do the things you’ve been procrastinating or avoiding. What have you been overlooking that your intuition has been urging you to deal with? Now is the time. The full moon shines light on the big-picture vision you have for yourself. It is time to let go of anything that may be holding you back. What people, objects, conversations or tasks feel like heavyweights? How can you lighten the load? Be realistic and practical with your next steps. The new moon triggers a new 18-month cycle that is all about building your sense of self-worth as well as setting goals for any business ventures you have. Set intentions about the feelings you want to feel in your life moving forward, as well as the kind of people you want to meet and the kind of qualities you seek in your relationships. During Venus retrograde, you will not only be delivered lessons on love and money, but you will also be reviewing your daily routines and rituals. You may find that something that has worked for years no longer works. The challenge is to explore something new.
