Aries + Aries Rising
March 21 - April 19

The beginning of July pops off with an ‘expect the unexpected’ when it comes to your finances. An unexpected bill – or an unexpected bonus check can come in. Whatever you do, no impulse buying (I know that’s super hard for you)! With Mercury Retrograde for the first few weeks of July making you look over old texts and may be pulled into rehashing the past. Your home and family life are in for a glow up – you may want to start hosting more parties at your place, decorate, have people over more, spend more time with family. Home is going to be a theme for you, Taurus, and you may be getting ideas of where you want to live, buying a home, who you want–or don’t want–in your home. This doesn’t mean you’re going to be stuck at home all the time, your career is getting some driving force from the end of this month until next year. Ride that dragon into the next level of your career and be excited about where you will end up in 2027!

Taurus
 
Taurus + Taurus Rising
April 20 - May 20

Taurus, you’re just good vibes right now. Relish in it. You’re feeling social and chatty – you actually want to go out and talk to people instead of staying in on your satin sheets and eating Ben & Jerry’s. You may be feeling especially warm and connected to the people who you are talking to these days, and an overall curiosity in others that you haven’t felt for a hot minute. Money and travel may also be themes for you in June, and not necessarily meaning you will spend too much on your June vacation. News or just new energy around your income and worth will come in for the New Moon in the middle of June. Then, a little culmination surrounding journeys - international, spiritual, or educational. Overall, this is a cushy and pleasant month for you, Taurus. Enjoy it - I know you know how to ;).

Gemini
 
Gemini + Gemini Rising
May 21 - June 20

Another year older, Gemini, and you may now have the urge to play with your look. Create a new persona –one of many, no doubt– around the beginning of this month. This is especially true for Gemini risings, as Mars and Uranus are in your house of your appearance/mask. It may feel impulsive. It may feel a little chaotic. It may lead to a major breakthrough of how you want to show up in the world. You’re going to be in your element, chatting up a room, intellectually blowing people’s pants off, and generally being great at getting your ideas heard and out there. This is going to last from July until 2027! How you think and what you believe may change–for the better– as the end of July brings a new vista point for how you see the world is completing itself and pointing you toward a bigger horizon.

Cancer
 
Cancer + Cancer Rising
June 21 - July 22

Happy Birthday, Cancer! This month is about returning to yourself and getting in touch with the real you, beyond who you are to others. Don’t feel guilty if you're celebrating your birthday while wanting to go into your shell. You may notice how much you have changed in just one year, and around July 12th you’ll start to feel clarity about who you authentically are and how you’re going to express that in the world going forward. Your sense of deservingness is going to get a boost, and this can mean you’re going to start charging more, looking for higher income, stop taking any shit out of some misguided need to keep yourself small. If you are tested in this arena, know that it’s the astrology happening IRL. Deep transformations are on the horizon for you, July marks the seeding point.

Leo
 
Leo + Leo Rising
July 23 - August 22

July is positively rarw, baby. If you imagined that being said by Austin Powers, you are correct. You’re center stage, scintillating with It Girl energy. Your aura is powering up…and it’s going to last a year. You’re going to be a magnet for good luck and abundance. This is especially strong for Leo Risings – you’re going to walk into rooms and people will feel your magnetism before they see you. July is going to start with a bang of dynamic socializing. Take the invite, go to the hang. Your friends and your network are going to be feeding you, and if there is a little drama…well, Leos are built for it. That being said, you may have some pull to be deep and introspective while Mercury is retrograde in your 12th house — processing, dreaming, things surfacing from below. Pay attention to your dreams in July, Leo. Your dreams may be preparing you for the destined shifts that can propel you forward as Jupiter and the South Node will be in Leo for well into next year.

Virgo
 
Virgo + Virgo Rising
August 23 - September 22

Your career is having an electric moment, Virgo. Around July 3rd your professional life may have sudden shifts. Think a bolt-from-the-blue opportunity, an impulsive career move, or an unexpected development in how you're being seen publicly. Old friends may be popping up in July, especially the first half, and you’re being reminded who your true friends are. It may be you need to be reminded why you cut off a friendship in the first place. You’ll have a boost of self confidence this month as Venus enters Virgo– that means the goddess of love and beauty will be blessing you with a little mojo. At the end of the month, the full moon will be reflecting to you what your daily routine and work life balance is actually bringing to you. Do you need to level up by working more, less, or smarter?

Libra
 
Libra + Libra Rising
September 23 - October 22

Did you just book a chartered yacht vacation on your credit card? July begins with the urge to splurge on a trip– wanderlust may strike and an impulsive need to get away can have you booking flights. This impulse to see outside of your daily grind can be reflecting a deeper shift in your beliefs, spirituality, or meaning you place on life. There is also a possibility that career opportunities that have been on the backburner can be coming back up; check your linkedin inbox. Be careful not to overbook yourself, as there is some friction between your social network and your romantic life around the 20th. The end of the month’s full moon will bring even more attention into your dating life (or creativity for all you artists!) that can feel fated.

Scorpio
 
Scorpio + Scorpio Rising
October 23 - November 21

You’ve got a lightning bolt headed straight to your astrological nether region. Yes, your most intimate aspects of life–sex, death, and joint bank accounts– will have some unexpected shake up in the beginning of July. You can handle it, you’re a Scorpio. The energy is chaotic neutral and you can transmute it to your benefit if you’re mindful. The good news is big though, Jupiter and all its good fortune will be situated in your career sector from July until next year. That means more work opportunities, more favorable attention, more clout. This isn’t a small transit. If you’ve been waiting for a career glow up, it is at your door holding the hot rollers and makeup bag. July 20 could be a magical day for your work life, like your boss is finally allowing a 4 day work week or remote work. Work is finally paying off, don’t let any hiccups at the beginning of the month set you off your course.

Sagittarius
 
Sagittarius + Sagittarius Rising
November 22 - December 21

Sagi-poo, your relationships are absolutely feral in early July. Mars and Uranus (action & chaos) means someone close to you is doing something completely unexpected, or you are. A partner surprises you. A new person enters with sudden intensity. An existing relationship hits a flash point that comes from nowhere. Uranus is going to be in your 7th house of relationships for a while, and with Mars stepping in for July, it’s going to be like fire meets electricity. Embrace the chaos. Meanwhile, mercury retrograde will have you deep in the psychological forests, processing (and perhaps re-processing) old traumas, issues, deep fears, etc. Don’t ignore your depths, there is gold there. This is an opportunity to analyze your dreams, your nightmares, your manic spirals and find some deeper truth.

Capricorn
 
Capricorn + Capricorn Rising
December 22 - January 19

Your daily grind is getting a wrench thrown into it in early July. Maybe you needed that. Wi-fi goes down? Work chair breaks? Alarm switches off? Blame Uranus conjunct Mars. Whatever you do, don’t let any hiccups set you off your goals because it’s very temporary. Mercury retrograde in your 7th house this month will be very stereotypical, Capricorn: exes can be popping up again with gusto. It’s up to you if you want to entertain them or if you want to block and delete for good. Shallow ties to old exes won’t cut it as Jupiter is in your 8th house. That means deep connection and real intimacy will be getting the expansive and abundant energy from Jupiter for the next year. Deeper relationships and ties to others can be scary stuff, and that’s why the 8th house sometimes gets a bad rap. But with uber positive Jupiter there, you just may find you love going into the dark depths.

Aquarius
 
Aquarius + Aquarius Rising
January 20 - February 18

Aquarius, something electric and possibly unhinged is happening in your love life and creative world in early July. Your house of romance, art, self-expression is getting a major jolt of electricity that may feel like it comes out of nowhere. You may have been feeling a little chaotic and unpredictable in your romantic life for a while (thank Uranus for that) but the first week of July ups the ante. Just don’t try and hook up with your boss or anything permanently, please. Although you may get lucky there too, since Jupiter is going to be blessing your relationships from July onward into 2027. This is good, Aquarius. Really good. Blessings and luck in your relationships AND the north nodes of destiny will be in your first house from the end of the month… the stars are no longer blind or crossed and are moving in your favor.

Pisces
 
Pisces + Pisces Rising
February 19 - March 20

July is opening with some domestic chaos, Pisces. Your home may have some sort of shake up, or some drama erupts in the family group chat. Don’t be reactive, the situation should pass quickly. Rolls like water off a duck's back. Mercury retrograde will be in your house of creativity and romance – unfinished art projects can come back to mind, or randos that you gave your number to five months ago may randomly text you. On a deeper level, you’ll be getting clarity on how your self expression, creativity and love life are being communicated out into the world. Your work life and daily routine will be getting an uplevel that lasts into next year. Meanwhile, your life may be orienting you to rest and spiritual depth for the next 18 months. This could mean setting up your daily schedule to be optimized for some R&R – even incorporating your spirituality into your work and grind. Morning ice baths incoming.
