The Astrology of July 2023
House of Intuition Full Moon in Capricorn Candle
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 3 brings attention to your day-to-day life and routine. If you’ve been overworking yourself, this is a reality check to find more balance. Your daily habits may also undergo a profound shift. Mars, the planet of action and energy, moves into Virgo on July 10 and could have you spending more money. This is a time to pay close attention to your budget, as unexpected expenses can pop up out of nowhere. You may also be working on an important project that requires a fair amount of your effort. Mercury, the planet of communication, enters your sign on the same day, bringing news and information your way. Now is a wonderful time to focus on your personal goals. You’re also invited to rethink what you choose to share about yourself.
Fate and destiny bring sweeping change on July 17 when the North Node enters Aries and the South Node enters Libra. Over the next 18 months, you will experience fated endings and beginnings around communication, traveling, publishing, teaching, learning, spirituality, and your world perspective. Here comes a mental overhaul! On the same day, there is a New Moon in Cancer that invites you to hit refresh on your relationship with rest. This is also an opportunity to close out a cycle and end a pattern. Later in the day, Mercury in Leo brushes up against Jupiter in Taurus, bringing some expansive and promising news to any accomplishments you’re working toward in your career or regarding your reputation. The world is your oyster as long as you continue chasing your dreams!
July 20 brings an interesting contrast of energies: The Sun in Cancer will gently meet with Neptune in Pisces, which makes for a beautiful day to connect with your intuition and make peace with your past. Extending self-forgiveness can lead to healing and transformation today. At the same time, Mars in Virgo will sit across the sky from Saturn in Pisces, bringing a challenging energy regarding your finances. It’s easy to get swept up in a scarcity mindset and feel like there is no way out of your current financial situation. Challenging energy can also surface at work, and people are more on edge today. Trust that solutions will arrive in time.
Your main cosmic event of the year takes place on July 22 when Venus goes retrograde in your sign! Venus is the planet of love, harmony, and finances, and when it begins its backward motion in the sky, exes and people from your past may resurface. Are these people worth your energetic investment or are you better off cutting ties once and for all? The way you identify, express yourself, and show up in the world can also undergo a massive makeover right now. However, this is not the best time to try out a haircut or get a new tattoo. Use this time to reflect on the important shifts you’re feeling ready to make and then take action after Venus stations direct on September 3.
Also on July 22, the Sun moves into Leo. Finally, Leo season is here!!! The sunlight puts you on display and makes you the main character of the universe. You’re more charming and magnetic than normal. Singles may attract more attention, and luck is on your side. Have an ah-mazing birthday month!
