Cozy to Creative

Aries, the joys of home and family life show up as July gets underway. With the sun, luscious Venus, and chatty Mercury in Cancer, you’ll enjoy the opportunity to relax, unwind, and indulge in some self-care. This is also a great time to be around close ones and relish entertaining with a select few lifelong friends. You’ll be ready to nurture yourself and others, so this is your chance to recharge your batteries, get more sleep, and eat better food.

The new moon is in Cancer on July 5, and you have an opportunity for a new beginning. Whether you’re eager to start a small project or something more ambitious, this lunar phase can help you build momentum and keep your enthusiasm moving until your plan is truly underway.

There is a gradual shift to the fiery sign of Leo as astute Mercury moves in on the second, followed by charming Venus on the eleventh and the sun on the twenty-second. Your leisure and creativity zone is more in focus as the month gathers pace, so this is a great time to indulge in your hobbies, dive into new interests, and showcase your skills and talents.

The four weeks when the sun is in Leo are especially exciting. They can also be a great opportunity to enjoy more romantic getaways or get back into the dating loop.

In addition, fiery Mars, your personal planet, moves into restless Gemini for a six-week stay on July 20, so you’ll be very busy but possibly more scattered than usual. Choose your projects carefully and channel your energy into getting positive results.

Finally, the full moon on the twenty-first (the second in a row in Capricorn) connects with potent Pluto in Aquarius. A decision you make now concerning your goals or career could bring a revolution in your social life and the people you connect with. Something big is brewing.
