This is also a powerful time to listen to your intuition.
Intriguing news arrives on July 2 when Mercury enters your sign.

You’ve got news worth celebrating on July 8 when Mercury in your sign teams up with Jupiter in Gemini. Maybe an investor is ready to fund one of your dreams, or you make exciting progress on a goal. The energy is carefree and social, and you may have some fun plans scheduled with friends. Your love life and connections deepen when Venus in Cancer shares a kiss with Neptune in Pisces on July 11. You could be swept off your feet, experience love at first sight, or feel like you’re connecting with someone on a soulmate level. This is also a powerful day for experiencing healing in your relationships and letting go of the past. Venus, the planet of love and blessings, enters your sign on the same day, bringing extra luck your way over the next few weeks. People are extra attracted to you, so use your charm to your advantage! You could also make some exciting progress on personal goals or receive support that leaves you feeling appreciated.
But before you can enjoy all of Venus’ offerings, you’ll have to face some power struggles in your one-on-one relationships when Venus faces off with Pluto in Aquarius on July 12. Your desire for freedom and autonomy could rub someone else the wrong way. You may also have to confront unhealthy or toxic relationships dynamics that involve control or jealousy. The tension reaches a fever pitch when Mars and Uranus, both in Taurus, meet in the sky on July 15. You could brush up against some haters or feel repressed anger bubble up to the surface. On the bright side, you may also be laser-focused on a goal.
Mars, the planet of motivation and drama, enters Gemini on July 20, bringing more action to the social sector of your chart. Over the next few weeks, you could be chasing after one of your dreams and pitching anyone who will listen along the way. This can require you to set boundaries within your friendships or address simmering tension that’s been building over time. You might find yourself getting in a few disagreements and speaking your mind.
There’s a Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21 that brings a swift change to your daily routine. You could wrap up a project that’s caused more than a few headaches, kick a bad habit, or get more serious about your health. On the same day, Venus in your sign links up with Jupiter in Gemini, bringing good news your way. You could make some exciting progress on a personal goal or receive support when you need it most. The energy is lighthearted and social, and you may crave more connection. This is a great day to spend with friends and loved ones.
The Sun enters your sign on July 22, making you the main character of the zodiac (finally)! The next few weeks are all about you, your desires, and your goals. It’s time to set new intentions for yourself, to take up space, experiment with your style, and turn heads along the way! You may notice that you’re attracting more attention so use your magnetism to help manifest whatever your big heart desires. But before you can fully sink into enjoying your season, you’ll have to deal with the Sun staring down Pluto in Aquarius on the same day. This can kick up power struggles in your important relationships. Is someone in your life too controlling, or is it you who’s refusing to release control? You may need to address feelings of projection, jealousy, envy, or obsession today.
Mercury, the planet of information, enters Virgo on July 25, bringing your attention to your finances. This is a great time to set new financial goals for building wealth and security, dream up new projects you’d like to launch, and negotiate a raises or promotion. Keep in mind that Mercury will retrograde in this part of the sky early next month, so pay attention to the topics that take up your mental energy. You’ll be revisiting those conversations and ideas in a few weeks’ time!
