Spending time with your friends fosters a deeper sense of belonging and fulfillment over the next few weeks.

This can also be a time to come up with new ideas you want to pursue and make progress on some of your dreams. Brainstorming with others can also help you unlock your next big idea.
Mercury enters Leo on July 2, putting you in a more introspective mood. You might feel more nostalgic or reconnect with your intuition. Your dreams may be intense and vivid over the coming weeks, so pay attention to themes and symbols that come through. You’ll also need to carve out time for rest—it’s easy for responsibilities to pile up on your plate, which can leave you more exhausted than normal.

Let’s talk compatibility!
You’re gaining the respect of important people when Mercury in Leo connects with Jupiter in Gemini on July 8. You may also be up for a raise or promotion, but just don’t know it yet! There are people speaking kindly about you behind your back. Your close relationships feel like a warm, nostalgic hug on July 11 when Venus in Cancer teams up with Neptune in Pisces. The energy is romantic and empathetic. You could go on a date that sweeps you off your feet or maybe you’re having an incredibly productive brainstorm session. You might also feel like your bonds are deepening in both your friendships and in your love life. Later in the day, Venus, the planet of love, enters Leo. Over the next few weeks, you may crave more alone time to recharge and find yourself reminiscing about lovers from the past. While a little nostalgia is healthy, try not to get too caught up in over-romanticizing someone who doesn’t deserve you.
On July 12, Venus in Leo locks eyes with Pluto in Aquarius, adding tension and drama to your everyday life. Maybe you’re dealing with a micromanager at work, or perhaps there’s some sort of personal crisis that you need to tend to. This is a powerful day for healing if you choose to shine a light on what you’ve been avoiding. Conversations can go from innocent to explosive on July 15 when Mars and Uranus join together in Taurus. Try not to say something that you can’t take back. You may also feel called to take a big risk, speak up for something you believe in, or experience a personal breakthrough.
Mars, the planet of motivation and anger, enters Gemini on July 20. The next few weeks bring more attention to your career and public life. You may take on a new role that requires more work and leaves you feeling a little worn down. You could also clash with bosses and colleagues. Make sure you’re setting healthy work/life boundaries.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21 puts you in a celebratory mood. You may wrap up a creative project, experience a shift in your dating life, or push through any fears that keep you from sharing your talents and gifts with the world. On the same day, Venus in Leo meets with Jupiter in Gemini, bringing exciting news about your career. New opportunities, avenues, and ideas present themselves. You never know who is paying attention to you and your work.
The Sun enters Leo on July 22, and you’re exhausted from all of that socializing during Cancer season! The next few weeks are all about rest. It’s your job to resist the urge to show up for the sake of showing up or because it’s what someone else expects of you. It’s time to listen to your body and its needs. You’re connecting to your subconscious in a deeper way and you’re ready to kick some bad habits. This is a period of release before your season begins next month. You’ll have to confront raw and vulnerable feelings on the same day when the Sun in Leo faces off with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy can feel exhausting, but a new layer of your healing journey can begin today.
Finally, Mercury, the planet of information, enters your sign on July 25. The next few weeks bring important news and ideas your way. This is a beautiful time to reinvent yourself and blaze new trails. Mercury will go retrograde in this part of the sky early next month, so pay attention to themes that come up for you. You may have to return to the drawing board on any personal goals you set for yourself, but don’t let any setbacks or delays hold you back!
