On July 3, the Full Moon in Capricorn lights up the sky and brings an important financial matter to a close. This Full Mon could coincide with a promotion, a new job, a raise, or even an important purchase. It's also the time to get on the same page with others in your life about financial responsibilities and expectations. Mars, the planet of action and frustration, enters Virgo on July 10, bringing immediate attention to your living environment and important relationships in your life. You could be renovating your home or addressing any lingering resentment that’s been building with important people in your life, like roommates or family members. It could also simply mean frustrating things happen at home, like a laundry machine overflowing or microwave breaking.
On the same day, Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, enters Leo, and exciting news arrives! You may learn about some intriguing opportunities or find yourself reconnecting with some friends. If there’s a skill you want to learn or a topic you want to study, sign up for a class or spend time reading up about it. On July 17, the North Node enters Aries and the South Node enters Libra, shifting where we will experience fated endings and beginnings in our lives over the next 18 months. You may experience dramatic shifts around your friendship circle, personal dreams for the future, sexuality, creativity, and relationship with children or your own inner child.
Also on July 17, a New Moon in Cancer on the same day marks a fresh start for your finances and for redefining your sense of comfort and security. Mercury in Leo brushes up against Jupiter in Taurus later in the day, which can bring emotional breakthroughs and release. Your intuition is also incredibly active and paying attention to it can lead to innovative solutions or ideas.
July 20 is an interesting day with various energies at play. On one hand, the Sun in Cancer will mingle with Neptune in Pisces, and your creativity and intuition can lead to developments in your career or with your own self-worth. At the same time, Mars in Virgo stares down Saturn in Pisces, which can bring up frustrating and disappointing energy. This energy can be used productivity to focus on a specific task at hand, but keep in mind that ego battles and feelings of rejection can easily surface.
The following day, the Sun in Cancer faces off with Pluto in Capricorn. It’s easy for power struggles to surface as you become more starkly aware of what you have and what you don’t.
