Aries
July brings the asteroid Chiron into Retrograde in the sign of Aries and this is a time of reflection for the Ram, forcing them to slow down and re-evaluate who they truly are. The best way to handle this energy is to embrace the things you love about yourself and see your worth, manifesting your gifts externally. Energy will be increased for the Warrior to fight for what they want most in life, regardless of what other people say or do to stop them.
The Sun rises in Leo mid-month and heats up the inner pride and outgoing attitude of Aries, and they will enjoy being the name on everyone’s lips. They will want to show off any success they enjoy, sometimes verging on showboating if they’re not careful.
Finally a Full Moon in Aquarius illuminates the need for balance between choices they make for their own personal gains versus doing things for others generously, a great time for Aries to show their passion for others’ well-being through humanitarian acts of kindness.
Taurus
Mercury moves into Cancer this month and encourages Taurus to express themselves from a deeper, more emotional place. It’s a good time to focus on your trusted inner circle, allowing yourself to be heard and supported. However, if Taurus isn’t careful this can be abused if they lose all objectivity with their heightened emotions; make sure you are listening to others in the same capacity!
Venus is in Virgo on the 21st, and the energy will be focused on expressions of love through being helpful to others and being more practical with spending. This can be tough for the Bull who just wants to enjoy the pleasures in life, and this can lead to self-criticism and anxiety. Remember that you can show yourself gestures of love that don’t involve a Chanel bag or a fancy restaurant dinner – try making your own charcuterie board at home!
The Full Moon in Aquarius will encourage Taurus to grow into their own, and they will feel themselves leveling up in their life as they begin to really understand their individuality in the grand scheme of community. Allow yourself to be seen for who you truly are, because you ARE beautiful.
Gemini July 2021 Horoscopes
When Chiron the Wounded Healer goes into Retrograde, this month in the sign of Aries, Gemini will have a chance to reflect and rediscover all the good that they bring to the world. This is a time of overcoming any self-limiting beliefs that have been holding them back, harnessing this energy to rise above any wounds from the past that keep them in the dark. The energy will be so strong that Gemini will let their inner socialite encourage others who are struggling with their own confidence.
Venus moves into the virtuous Virgo on the 21st and brings the energy of showing love through tangible gestures, but also will heighten Gemini’s critical eye and relationships will be re-evaluated for what their purpose is in Gemini’s life. This can lead to things being said that may be regretted later on, so be careful about who/what you criticize. Compassion is usually the best road to take!
Cancer
Happy Birthday babes! The New Moon in Cancer kicks off July and brings the opportunity to commit to the things you have been holding within your heart for some time. The energy of reciprocity will be heightened with those you love; the gift of giving is a lovely Cancer trait but can lead to your detriment if others see it as a means to manipulate you. Use this Moon to evaluate who is deserving of your gifts by taking a closer look at your domestic life. This is a time of important change, be open to the flow.
The Sun moves into courageous Leo on the 22nd and brings out Cancer’s feisty, playful side. You may feel a deeper sense of self-love, and you will want to show this to others – maybe through a beach photoshoot for the ‘gram! You will be focused on doing things with and for others, which can lead to disappointment if others can’t meet you in this energy.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 23rd illuminates a need for balance between your own needs and what is best for everyone in your life in the long run – some tough choices may have to be made.
Leo
July kicks off with Mercury’s movement into Cancer on the 11th, encouraging Leo to communicate from a more intrinsic place and bring your focus in from the external and focus on what we need personally. Emotions tend to be heightened when the Crab is in control, so try to balance this with objectivity.
Get ready for the 22nd where we welcome in the season of the Lion! With the Sun in Leo, pride and individualism rise to the top and it is a great time to shine in the spotlight – jump in and take the mic! Generosity is also heightened so allow your gestures to be genuine and not out of vanity.
The Full Moon in Aquarius at the month’s end brings balance to your fiery Leo spirit, illuminating the chance to really step into your personal power. Your regal individuality is shining for all to see, and this Moon will show you where you can channel your gifts into your community and personal relationships.
Virgo July 2021 Horoscopes
A New Moon in Cancer on July 9th is bringing the chance to really connect with your emotions and let your core needs guide your intentions for this month. Virgo’s home life will come into focus and some purging may be necessary – out with the old and in with the new is the vibe! These changes can be life altering in some cases, maybe a need for a complete change of environment is in order if it leads to stronger security and safety.
Venus rotates into Virgo on the 21st and expressions of generosity are magnified, but also under a more keen eye because these acts of love need to make sense to Virgo. The shadow side of this movement can lead to self-deprecation, so make sure to balance this by accepting genuine gestures from others and go easy on yourself – bubble bath anyone?
Mars joins Venus in Virgo on the 29th and fans the flame of detail-oriented action, driven by virtue of course. There will be a strong need to be seen for your quality of work as everything will be done meticulously, balancing this will require lots of affirmations of self-worth. Validation is always welcome, but not as needed as you think.
Libra
When Chiron turns Retrograde in Aries this month, Libra will have a chance to really evaluate what they bring to the table of their life. Letting go of what others believe about them and focusing on rediscovery is a huge change for the better, and gives Libra the courage to go after their goals instead of being indecisive about what steps to take.
Libra’s ruling planet Venus moves into Virgo mid-month and this brings a more practical air to the Libra expression of love, maybe even re-evaluating relationships that have had more taking from them than giving – balance is important to a Libra’s success. Worry can be at an all time high during this transit, so don’t forget to indulge and celebrate yourself.
The Full Moon in the Water Bearer Aquarius brings light to any areas where Libra is not sticking to their truth. Making choices can be hard, and this Moon brings security in the self and power in asking for what you need. Go forth and blossom!
Scorpio
July starts off comfortably for Scorpio with lots of Water energy swirling around. Mercury is in Cancer on the 11th, which will motivate Scorpio to communicate more openly, and from a more intimate place. Scorpio’s needs will be too important to ignore, as well as the needs of those they love – practice balance through time management during this transit.
Venus moves into Virgo on the 21st and encourages Scorpio to show their love in more practical and tangible ways, which can get out of hand if they are really trying to prove themselves to others. A lack of appreciation could lead to Scorpio feeling down on themselves, so ensure to give that same love and appreciation to yourself too!
The Full Moon in idealistic Aquarius soon after will illuminate any tension between individual and collective goals, and there is an opportunity to emerge from this month with a stronger authenticity if Scorpio is able to harness the energy to focus on their core truths.
Sagittarius July 2021 Horoscopes
When Chiron turns Retrograde in Aries on July 11th, there is an exposure of our most vulnerable selves. For Sagittarius, this is an opportunity for rediscovery. The Wounded Healer encourages the independence needed to go forth and achieve personal goals despite any limiting beliefs that have perhaps held them back from reaching their potential.
The Full Moon this month in Aquarius will be a chance to look more closely at your goals and any conflicts between what is best for you, and what is best for those Sagittarius cares for. This can be a huge opportunity for personal growth, so it’s in their best interest to let the higher self guide and show outcomes to situations from all sides.
We end the month with Mars moving into Virgo, bringing forth the energy to focus on the details that need adjusting, and to do so from an innately virtuous place. There is a shadow of a need to receive recognition for your work, so just remember to focus on your strengths and know that your work will speak for itself to the right audience.
Capricorn
Get ready for a switch-up this month, Capricorn. With the New Moon rising in Cancer, your goals will take on a more personal flavour, reflecting your intimate feelings and desire to feel secure in your home-life. We know it’s tough for you, but any opportunities to receive support during this transit should be taken with gratitude. You may experience changes to your long-term vision, which should be embraced because these new beginnings will likely bring abundance if you’re able to surrender your control. These changes will likely surface around home and family.
Venus is in Virgo on July 21st and brings a more purposeful air to your gestures of support, careful not to take on too much as it can become overbearing for you and for others.
The Sun rising into Leo on July 22nd encourages your outgoing side to surface. Capricorn will enjoy expressing themselves and will want to spend more time embracing the good times in life. This is a great energy to embrace through all the changes happening around you!
Aquarius
The year of growth for Aquarius continues this month, starting with Chiron’s Retrograde in the Warrior Aries. This transit brings more clear awareness of Aquarius’ authentic self emerging and taking control. Independence is even stronger than usual, giving Aquarius the courage needed to fight for their dreams and also have enough energy left over to encourage others to see their own worth.
When the Sun moves into Leo on the 22nd, Aquarius’ sense of playful energy is magnified, and it’s a wonderful time for them to step out of the background and express themselves fully and with generosity towards those who have supported them along their path.
The first of two Full Moons in Aquarius will shine a light on any areas that require balance, including between their personal beliefs and who they interact with/give their energy to. This Moon may show the pathway to your destiny Aquarius, the best thing to do is to find peace and listen to your inner guide.
Pisces July 2021 Horoscopes
If you thought you were already in your feelings, this month starts out with even more emotional energy, Pisces. The New Moon in Cancer brings up needs in finding security in your home-life and making big commitments that are focused on your needs before others – which is a good thing! It may be hard to move out of your comfort zone to make these moves, but the Universe will reward you for your strength.
Venus moves into meticulous Virgo mid-month and your love will manifest itself through physical gestures of appreciation. There will be a need to understand the deeper purpose of certain relationships, which could lead to some anxious thoughts. The best way for Pisces to handle this is to openly communicate what their needs are, and learn when to say “enough.” Mars moves into Virgo as well at the month’s end, and you will find your actions more precise. Pisces will feel a need to be seen for their efforts during this time, concerning themselves with how others feel about them can be a trap. Try to focus on your accomplishments, and just keep swimming!
We hope you have a magical Cancer season!
