Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
July is all about healing and getting comfy, Taurus. Neptune retrograde helps you shed unnecessary insecurities, making you more comfortable in your friendships and more open to forming new ones.

Your ruler, Venus, moves into your 4th House of Home and Family this month, bringing healing to all relationships and helping those around you feel like chosen family. Be mindful of potentially heated debates around the Capricorn full moon; it’s better to use any emotions to write poetry than pick fights.

A Capricorn full moon could indicate hot sex, but as the stars are a bit tumultuous this day, know that it could also lead to potential fights or misunderstandings.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
When the dreamy planet Neptune goes retrograde in your 6th House of Health, you’re reevaluating your beauty and self-care routines. An exciting new moon in Cancer brings career opportunities, and when wise Pallas goes direct in Scorpio, you may also be blessed financially. However, perhaps July’s most important cosmic lesson is to remember the importance of your chosen family. When your ruling planet, sweet Venus, moves into your 11th House, make sure to text back and catch up with friends. At times this month, you may find yourself feeling broody, especially once the warrior planet Mars moves into your 9th House of Philosophy. However, when these feelings arise, fight the angst by connecting with friends and becoming more involved in life. Despite July’s social tone, you have cosmic permission to stay in during the Capricorn full moon. Read your full July horoscope here, Libra.
