You’re exploring a new level of trust in your close relationships on July 11 when Venus in Cancer mingles with Neptune in Pisces. This is a great day for opening up, sharing secrets, and letting someone know how you really feel. This energy is great for smoothing over any misunderstandings and getting back on the same page. You could also receive a sweet gift or compliment from someone unexpected. Later in the day, Venus enters Leo, lending you extra luck in all of your communication over the next few weeks. Singles could meet someone while while traveling or decide to take a chance someone outside of their usual type, and couples are craving new experiences together.
Taboo topics and hidden secrets are up for discussion on July 12 when Venus in Leo stares down Pluto in Aquarius. You may need to set boundaries or call out unhealthy power dynamics in a relationship. Watch out for conflicts and tension on July 15 when Mars and Uranus, both in Taurus, unite in the sky. The energy is volatile and may even make you more accident prone, so move through your day with as much caution as possible. There could also be last-minute disruption to your plans, so try to go with the flow as much as you can.
Mars, the planet of action and anger, enters Gemini on July 20. The next few weeks bring more attention to your one-on-one relationships. Maybe someone close to you is moving through a stressful event and needs your support. This can bring more tension to your close relationships and require you to set boundaries or address simmering resentment. Some may choose to leave partnerships that they feel they’ve outgrown, and that can mean friendships or work relationships, as well as romantic.
There’s a Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21 that brings a financial matter to a close. Maybe you’re leaving a job, wrapping up a contract, or accepting a promotion. You may also make a big purchase or investment around this time. On the same day, Venus in Leo links up with Jupiter in Gemini, bringing hopeful news your way. This is a lovely time to ask for support and share your ideas. People are particularly interested in what you have to say.
The Sun enters Leo on July 22, putting you in a more optimistic mood. You’re feeling encouraged about what the future holds and excited to explore your latest big idea. The next few weeks might bring more travel opportunities or an invitation to share some of your talent with a wider audience, maybe as a guest on a podcast or by giving a presentation at work. You may also be busy spending time learning something new or honing your writing and communication skills. Hidden information comes to light later in the day when the Sun in Leo locks eyes with Pluto in Aquarius. News you learn today can require you to face a truth you’ve been avoiding. But once you face your fears, healing can begin.
The month closes out with Mercury, the planet of the mind, moving into Virgo on July 25. You’ll be busy working on chasing your goals and making progress in your career over the next few weeks. You could be up for a promotion or raise, or maybe start to consider other career paths that feel more interesting and aligned. Keep in mind that Mercury will go retrograde early next month, asking you to pause and reflect before making any final decisions.
