Mars, the planet of action and drive, enters Virgo on July 10, which can put some pressure on your finances. Emotionally, you may be ready to sever ties with the past and process some of the fears, anxieties, or memories that have been weighing you down. This is a wonderful time to explore your psyche and seek support from others, whether that’s a trusted BFF or a therapist. On the same day, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Leo, and you may be focused on having important conversations with partners and collaborators. Now is the time to get on the same page or discuss any collaborative projects. It’s also possible for new contracts to arrive during this time.
The North Node enters Aries and the South Node enters Libra on July 17, shifting the area of your life where fated and destined events unravel. For the next 18 months, you will experience a sweeping change in your mindset, the way you communicate, your perspective, travel, as well as what you choose to learn, teach and share with the world.
On the same day, a New Moon in Cancer gives you an opportunity to recalibrate your daily routine and habits. How would the future version of you operate? What would be included in their daily routine? Choose to integrate some of those behaviors now. You may also be starting a new project or taking on a new level of responsibility. Later in the day, Mercury in Leo bumps into Jupiter in Taurus, which can bring some exciting news regarding your career, living situation, and important relationships. This could mark an exciting new chapter in your personal life.
July 20 brings conflicting energy: The Sun in Cancer meets sweetly with Neptune in Pisces, inspiring a grounded and productive atmosphere. However, Mars in Virgo stares down Saturn in Pisces on the same day, stirring up frustration regarding your finances or expectations you have with others. This can be disappointing and isolating energy. This isn’t the time to push forward and try to force solutions. Trust that this will resolve with time.
The following day, the Sun in Cancer locks eyes with Pluto in Capricorn, bringing up power struggles in your daily life and work environment. This can also be a breaking point if you’ve been overextending yourself and working too hard. Name your boundaries and stick with them—you need and deserve rest! Venus Retrograde kicks off on July 22, asking you to think deeply about the important connections in your life. Exes and other people who were formerly a big part of your life may show back up to finish up or continue your joint storyline. This is a re-evaluation period for all of your closest connections. Contracts and work projects during this time may take longer than normal and require some rethinking
Also on July 22, the Sun enters Leo, putting more emphasis on your relationship with a romantic partner, a BFF, or close collaborator for the next few weeks. Leo season = romantic! You may also start to notice some jealousy onlookers, too, so maintain your energetic hygiene and boundaries!
Mercury in Leo collides with Uranus in Taurus on July 23, bringing some surprising news about your living situation or an important partnership in your life.

A gentle and supportive energy flows on July 27 when Mercury in Leo mingles with Venus in Leo at the same spot in the sky. Exciting opportunities may arrive or perhaps you land a contract of your dreams! Think: Exchanging “I love yous” with a partner or deciding to take an important next step in a relationship. As the month closes, your mental world gets a little more analytical on July 28 when Mercury enters Virgo. You’re focused on your finances over the next few weeks.
