Being productive never felt so good, Aquarius! You start the month off in Cancer season, which brings you attention to your daily habits and routines. You’re becoming more aware of which behaviors will lead you closer to your goals and which habits you’re ready to cut out of your life. Your daily schedule and responsibilities might also start to pile up, requiring you to set boundaries around your precious time.
The month begins with Mercury entering Leo on July 2, inviting you to have some important discussions in all of your relationships. This can be a great time to negotiate a new business deal, talk about your future with a lover, or grow closer with a friend. You’re intuitively guided to take action when Mars in Taurus meets with Saturn in Pisces on July 5. Whatever you decide to pour your energy into today leaves you feeling more secure and stable. You could take on a new project at work, or maybe you’re putting more effort into a family relationship.
On the same day, a New Moon in Cancer encourages you to kick old habits and replace them with something that’s more supportive of your lifestyle. You could also take on a new responsibility or begin working on a project that requires a lot of effort, but you know that the results will be worth it in the long run. Engaging in self-care and setting boundaries are also productive uses of this energy.
