Don’t be afraid to capitalize on the confidence that comes with a makeover, internal or external, by pitching professional ideas, asking people out on first dates, and generally enjoying summer to the fullest. You’re blessed with a streak of luck when sweet Venus enters your exuberant 5th House of Pleasure on Thursday, July 11, helping you get what you want. This theme continues when the warrior Mars, your planetary ruler, moves into your 3rd House of Communication on Saturday, July 20. Basically, mid-July is a really excellent time to go after your needs and desires.
The Capricorn full moon falls on Sunday, July 21, illuminating your 10th House of Social Status. Mark this date, as it could bring welcome professional news. However, if you’re feeling burnt out, it’s okay to take it easy since full moons can leave you feeling edgy. These primal lunations can sometimes be difficult to make predictions about, so it’s advisable to really check in with yourself and see how you’re feeling before making plans.
On Monday, July 22, the sun moves into Leo and your 5th House of Pleasure. The next few weeks, marking the end of summer, are all about having as much fun as possible. Remember that it’s important to make time for your friends, Aries, while, of course, maintaining your boundaries to ensure that you get enough rest and relaxation. Messenger Mercury enters your 6th House of Health on Thursday, July 25. With Mercury at home in Virgo, you’ll find yourself more interested in self-care than ever. When your 6th House appears, there’s no reason to worry or call a doctor, but it often is a gentle reminder to slow down.
The month concludes with Chiron, an asteroid known as the wounded healer, going retrograde in your sign, Aries, starting on Friday, July 26. The therapist of the zodiac, Chiron’s retrograde in your sign, motivates you to finally release old trauma. You might find yourself processing a lot or dealing with old memories resurfacing. Allow yourself to experience this, coupled with lots of self-care and grounding exercises such as meditation, getting enough sleep, and connecting with friends to ensure that you’re healing and not ruminating. Enjoy the rest and the star-powered gifts this month brings, and we’ll see you in August.
