Any new romances or budding friendships will get a cosmic push when fiery Mars moves into flirty Gemini, activating your 7th House of Partnership on Saturday, July 20. This transit could also reinject passion into any stagnant long-term relationships, perhaps where the love is still there, but some of the passion is burnt out.
Around the same time, on Sunday, July 21, there’s a full moon in ambitious Capricorn that lights up your 2nd House of Possessions. Because full moons are times of manifestation, this could indeed mean that you receive welcome financial news; however, in our economy, it’s impossible to promise that, even when the stars align in your favor. But there’s no reason not to hope. On that same day, Sunday, July 21, Venus creates a sextile with your abundant ruling planet, Jupiter, making you even more charismatic and adored. So, while we’re often advised to take it easy during full moons, this one could actually be a lot of fun, Sagittarius.
When social Leo season begins on Monday, July 22, the sun lights up your philosophical 9th House, which already got some love from the pretty planet Venus this month. The next few weeks are lovely for picking up a hobby you’ve had on your mind, learning a new language, and visiting museums. Places of prestige are in order, whether it’s for a professional accomplishment or just a great party, as messenger Mercury moves into your 10th House of Social Status on Thursday, July 25.
The last thing to know about July, astrologically speaking, is that on Friday, July 26, Chiron, the wounded healer and the therapist of sorts of the zodiac, goes retrograde in Aries, affecting your 5th House of Pleasure. While retrogrades are often seen as a bad thing, this could actually help you heal any trauma surrounding pleasure and intimacy, helping you feel happier and more secure in all of your relationships. We’ll see you in August.
