Welcome to July, Cancer. Last month, thanks to Venus moving into your sign, you felt adored and enjoyed some cosmic excuses for self-care. July continues these themes while also bringing one weekend that you might just want to take it easy.
The first astrologically significant day arrives on Tuesday, July 2, thanks to dreamy Neptune going retrograde in your 9th House of Philosophy. Perhaps you find yourself feeling more open-minded about something. All of a sudden, you're not sure why you fought with your partners or friends about a certain topic. If you notice a change of heart, just go with it. On that same date, Tuesday, July 2, chatty Mercury enters Leo and your 2nd House of Possessions, which could help you network and get ahead at work, so this date doesn't leave much time for ruminating and psychoanalyzing yourself.
Friday, July 5 brings a new moon in your sign, Cancer. New moons signify beginnings, so expect this date to be filled with opportunities. You might experience a rom-com-worthy meet-cute, receive an exciting new offer at work, or find yourself hanging out with a different social circle.
Shortly after, on Tuesday, July 9, Pallas, the asteroid of wisdom, ends its retrograde and goes direct in Scorpio and your 5th House of Pleasure. This transit offers clarity regarding a relationship or work project that has been on your mind. With Pallas direct, you’ll have a better understanding of how to move forward, especially as it pertains to any creative projects you're working on, or within romantic partnerships.
Thursday, July 11 sees lush Venus, who rules money in addition to love, entering your 2nd House of Possessions. While economic predictions are tricky, unfortunately, the economy can be more powerful than the stars, this transit could bring positive changes to your finances. It’s a good time to focus on and financial stability by making budgets and advocating for yourself at work.
Make time for self-care the weekend of Saturday, July 20, as the fighter planet Mars enters Gemini, igniting your brooding 12th House of the Unconscious. This transit might make you feel a little anxious, stirring up fears or unresolved issues that you're usually good at repressing. The next day, on Sunday, July 21, there’s a primal Capricorn full moon in your 7th House of Partnership. This full moon could bring significant developments in your relationships, potentially leading to hot sex or deep emotional connections. However, full moons can also be intense and stressful, so take care of your emotional well-being, as such lunations can be wild cards. Mind-blowing orgasms or heated arguments? It can be tough to predict.
With the sun lighting up your 2nd House of Possessions, there's abundance within reach.
As Leo season begins on Monday, July 22, your focus shifts to building abundance and wealth. Sure, your season may be over, Cancer, but with the sun lighting up your 2nd House of Possessions, if the stars have your way, there's abundance within reach. Again, unfortunately, it is within the confines of our economy. But for you, Leo season suggests a concerted effort to achieve financial stability and professional growth, whether you're a stay-at-home parent or entrepreneur. Additionally, you’ll find yourself owning your emotions better, as these too, you possess, and settling into a relationship with more confidence and clarity. Thursday, July 25, sees Mercury entering your 3rd House of Communication. This transit enhances your ability to communicate your feelings and thoughts clearly, making it a good time to have important conversations and express your needs within professional and personal relationships.
The month rounds out with Chiron, known as the wounded healer, who you can think of as the therapist of the zodiac, going retrograde in your 10th House of Social Status starting on Friday, July 26. This transit prompts you to rethink professional decisions; however, take your time before you make any massive changes you can't undo. While it might stir up some anxious thoughts, avoid making rash decisions. If you’re considering a career change, take the time to plot and think carefully. Consider whether you genuinely want a change or if you’re feeling insecure and doubting yourself. As an intuitive water sign, in your heart, you know the truth; it just might take a little meditation to get there. See you in August.
