Astro Overview for July

The month of July offers a gentle and stabilizing influence of two feminine energies, Cancer and Taurus, combined with the all-embracing inflections of Fire signs. The Sun and Mercury enter Leo, inducing a creative and playful approach to life, but also possible egotistical reactions. The transition of Mars from Aries to Taurus tends to temper the unfolding of actions and anchor us in pragmatic purposes and strategies.

Thus, under Cancer’s influence, we may encounter various situations related to intimacy, home, family, national space, history. The way we manage our own emotions will make the difference between sensitivity and capriciousness. Leo’s activation in the second part of the month counterbalances this delicacy with the desire to celebrate life and gain recognition for our uniqueness. Here are the main astral events of July:

Mars (Aries) square Pluto (Capricorn): obstacles and courage

On July 2, the square between Mars and Pluto is exact, an aspect that speaks of strength and courage. Our will may encounter obstacles that require considerable effort. These can, however, help us to bring to the surface considerable will reserves and overcome power complexes. Frustrations and repressed energy can fuel radical acts of independence. We need to stay very responsible in managing this huge reservoir of ambition.

Mars in Taurus: practical actions

After July 5, with Mars in Taurus we are inclined to act more cautiously, motivated by practical factors. We move through life rather slowly, but then we can sustain long-term efforts at a steady pace. Some issues regarding the management of material resources can infuriate us and generate competitive reactions. AstroFidelia recommends steadfastness and resistance in order to achieve what we want.

Mercury in Cancer: sensitive mind

On July 5 Mercury moves from Gemini into Cancer. From this moment on, rational thinking is intertwined with emotions. It is easier for us to express ourselves lyrically and give voice to our feelings, but we must be careful not to become subjective in our reasoning. We tend to protect our own thoughts and share them only with very close people. We may approach with ease topics related to family, home and past.

Sun (Cancer) sextile Uranus (Taurus): you as a social agent of progress

Around July 10, the sextile between the Sun and Uranus gives us originality and audacity in order to manifest ourselves freely, progressively. We need to identify with positive collective ideals. It is good to keep our sense of individuality, but at the same time to be aware of our role within society and our contribution to shaping the future. In this surprising period, we need to protect traditions that deserve to be carried on.

Venus (Gemini) square Neptune (Pisces): charm and illusion

Around July 14, the Venus-Neptune square makes us highly idealistic in love. Although it can be quite difficult for us to remain realistic about other people, this aspect helps us to perceive the subtle, refined nuances of our relationships. AstroFidelia recommends looking beyond appearances and becoming aware of our projections on others. Meanwhile, this is a good time to manifest unconditional love. We are very receptive to beauty and art.

Mercury-Sun conjunction (Cancer): we are what we think

On July 16, the Sun and Mercury meet in the sensitive sign of Cancer. We identify with our thinking processes. We are inclined to analyze ourselves, in an attempt to know and understand better who we are. We need to be proud of our intelligence. This is also a good time to become more aware of our role within our families and countries of origin. We can be concerned about self-defence strategies.

Venus in Cancer: protective love

On July 18, Venus enters the mindful and maternal sign of Cancer. From this moment on, it is possible to notice a certain shyness and avoiding attitude in relationships. Our dear ones arouse strong emotions in us and the desire to protect them. AstroFidelia recommends not to confuse romance with domestic activities, although a high dose of intimacy and comfort is required in order to fortify our relationships.

Mercury in Leo: creative mind

After July 19, Mercury in Leo makes us think and communicate more spontaneous, vividly. We need to be proud of our intelligence, and we tend to be demonstrative about it. Funny jokes accompany our reasoning. It is good to avoid intellectual hubris and arrogant communication. Dialogues with children or related to their education can be truly revealing. We may realize that the creative possibilities of our mind are limitless.

Sun in Leo: me, the creator of my own life

On July 22, the Sun enters Leo. In the coming weeks, we can strengthen our self-esteem by understanding that we have the right to manifest our own brilliance in relation to others. Every human being has the right to feel special, including us. Of course, we must treat those around us with equal honour. AstroFidelia recommends demonstrating our own creative talents and enjoy the cheerful moments that come our way.

Venus (Cancer) square Jupiter (Aries): expansion through relationships

Around July 25, we can attract interesting opportunities through other people, especially family members. However, we may not bear to make relationships too predictable and dull, so we have to expand our social horizons. Trying to co-opt those close to us in these adventures might be hard, but rewarding. The whims of others can irritate us and make us move forward on our own.

Mercury (Leo) square Mars (Taurus): stubborn mind

On July 26, the square between Mercury and Mars is exact. We fight by the force of arguments. Those who are too boastful and arrogant can arouse an impenetrable resistance in us. AstroFidelia recommends avoiding the tendency to speak harshly. Our mind is like a double-edged sword which must be used responsibly. Creatively, we can inspire and impress others with intuitive, unique and special arguments.

Jupiter retrograde (Aries): reviewing our beliefs

Between July 28 and November 24, Jupiter will retrograde through the signs of Aries and Pisces. During these months, we have the opportunity to carefully analyze our principles and beliefs so that we eliminate erroneous judgments and become wiser. It is good to detach ourselves from collective beliefs and come to our own conclusions. Our intuition and spirit of synthesis function in a special way.

By the transits through Cancer, July therefore provides us with opportunities to descend into the intimate universe of our emotions. At the same time, Leo’s energy makes its presence felt to the fullest, launching an invitation to individuation and celebration of life. Under the influence of this solar sign, we are invited to discover what true happiness means for us. We learn to open our hearts and manifest love, generosity and self-confidence.

A general state of freshness and new beginnings give you a lot of physical and mental energy.

Until around July 22, family, home, privacy and inner comfort issues are of great concern to you. There is a reconnection to the past and roots that could lead you, for example, to important places and people from your childhood. Even if you will be less visible for other people, these weeks are accompanied by a lot of emotional activity and multiple interactions with close relatives.

After July 5, it is also possible to face some interesting financial events. You need to secure your income and reserves, but also make some investments that are necessary for practical reasons.

Taurus

After July 5, with Mars in your sign, you are expected to feel much more energetic and active on a physical and mental level. A general feeling of youthful impatience combines with the temperate and self-protective action style of Cancer and Taurus. It is good to initiate projects that require perseverance and promise a proper material reward. In fact, the transits through Gemini from the first weeks of July also sharpen your negotiating skills.

Until July 22, you direct a lot of energy towards learning, communication, information. AstroFidelia recommends consolidating opportunities to gain new knowledge and interact with like-minded people. In this way, you can develop your mind and enjoy a variety of experiences. You may also find that there are several short trips to take that put you in touch with you neighbours, siblings or school mates.

After July 22, with the activation of Leo, you will gradually orient yourself to family and home issues, where you need to feel the creator of your own life contexts. If you encourage those close to you through a centred, bright attitude and a strong sense of humour, you will be treated with generosity and honour by them as well. Keep in mind, however, that your will can collide with the hubris of your relatives, so stay calm and reserved!

Gemini

The first half of this month contains transits through your sign, which translates into increased attention to your being, physical appearance and vitality. It’s good to do it in such a way that you feel presentable and charming, to value yourself and to strengthen your self-confidence. Meanwhile, after July 5, Mars in Taurus signals that you need to rest and to repair your energy reserves.

Until July 22, you may also be concerned about various financial projects related to home and family. These situations can generate both expenses and new income. It is good to adopt a self-protective attitude in this regard, that is, to also take care of your own material security before caring for others. Of course, this does not mean neglecting various responsibilities, but keep in mind that it is natural to take care of your own desires as well.

After July 22, there follows a period that helps you enlighten yourself about some information that you may not have addressed before. You may surprise others with your creativity in writing, speaking and reasoning. Short trips help you build a network of connections in which you act as a messenger and find out, in turn, interesting news. Towards the end of the month try to avoid the contradictory debates!

Cancer

In the first three weeks of July, the Sun transits your sign and gives you a strong anchorage in your own being. During this time, you are invited to filter your experiences according to your personal needs and desires. In this way, you can gain a sense of direction and self-assurance, as well as the feeling that you are determining your own life circumstances. This period brings new beginnings in your life.

Simultaneously, in the first half of the month you can complete some important relationships cycles. A contemplative and detached attitude helps you in this regard.

After July 22, transits through Leo require attention to finances and other types of resources. You become more ingenious in terms of harnessing your own native talents. Spontaneity help you make the right decisions in investments, but you must also take into account some responsibilities that derive from loans and shared money. If you set up an orderly schedule for debt repayment, you will be left with enough reserves to spend as you wish.

Leo

After July 5, you direct a lot of energy to your career and public image. A certain notoriety accompanies your actions, which means that you may take on additional responsibilities at work or in your community.

During this time, try not to force the unfolding of events!

Meanwhile, Jupiter continues its transit through Aries and gives you the motivation to explore unknown horizons.

Virgo

For you, the first part of the month favors distant trips and contacts with large groups of people who accompany you on these adventures. You may organize extended family events. On these occasions, you practice your strategic skills. AstroFidelia recommends avoiding stepping back from projects that might be very useful to you in the future and accept a certain degree of risk and adventure.

Meanwhile, Mars in Taurus invites experiences through which you broaden your sphere of knowledge and life principles. You could get into some moralizing debates with people who don’t share your opinions, in which case it’s good not to become too defensive, but to objectively accept different points of view. Thus, your opponents could turn out to be guides on your path of gaining more wisdom.

After July 22, the Sun and Mercury in Leo lead you to a period of resting. You may also feel the need to engage with large empathy in social issues. For example, you can volunteer or participate in collective meditations. During this period, a somewhat distant, but also emotionally open attitude helps you. You learn to surrender in the hands of the universe and strengthen your confidence in the divine order.

Libra

The first weeks of the month take you through a series of experiences designed to enrich your subtle understanding, wisdom and confidence in a higher purpose of life. Thus, you can feel like a student who comes into contact with wise teachers or, vice versa, as a guide that helps others to orient themselves among their challenges. At the same time, these weeks are also favorable for travel that brings you into contact with far away people and places.

Until July 22, a central concern for you seems to be your career, as well as an active search for your mission in society. You need to feel that you are participating in the improvement and evolution of the world around you in a responsible and protective way. Some of these projects may be related to family or national affairs. Interactions with people in positions of authority make you adjust your own public image and demand respect.

Mars in Taurus discusses during the month topics related to very close relationships and the exchange of resources and energy within them. After July 22, transits through Leo can bring out opportunities for group interactions. By approaching plans for the future with creativity and spontaneity, you can set up constructive and happy moments for yourself and your loved ones.

Scorpio

For you, the first part of the month is very active in relationships. After Mars enters Taurus on July 5, your dear ones may seem more active and come with initiatives that put things in motion. In some situations, you may also feel that you are being confronted by people who are somewhat stubborn or devoid of subtlety. AstroFidelia recommends aiming to participate in profitable team activities for all parties involved.

Simultaneously, the transits through Gemini make you attentive to communication and the flow of rational thinking between you and certain very close people. It is good to look well behind their words, no matter how nice they may be. Let yourself be guided by emotions and intuition! At the same time, transits through Cancer can give you optimism, longing for adventure and the desire to go as far as possible, to new places and people.

After July 22, the Sun and Mercury in Leo bring to light career issues, certain responsibilities and public interventions that make you pay attention to your image and notoriety. Family and home situations teach you how to keep intimacy in balance with what is seen on the outside. If you remain authentic in the professional realm, you will be able to attract success and happy circumstances.

Sagittarius

The first part of the month imposes a more secretive and mysterious approach. You may seem somewhat withdrawn to other people, while deeply transformative emotional processes take place inside you. You have increased intensity and intuition, which helps you look beyond appearances and notice phenomena hidden from the naked eye. You may also face some challenges in close relationships, which force you to become like a fine psychologist.

After July 5, Mars in Taurus tends to energize situations at work, where you have to direct constant effort towards important tasks. For other Sagittarians, it may be a period with dynamic experiences related to health and physical body. In order to cope in a balanced way with the numerous routine activities in your schedule, do not rush, but do not reluctantly resist changes either!

After July 22, the Sun and Mercury in Leo open the opportunity for unique and fun journeys. The more far away you go, the more full of life you will feel. All this also arouses existential questions, revelations and interesting conclusions that make you wiser. Try to avoid, however, insistently imposing your principles on others! Be an example of generosity and build wide life perspectives!

Capricorn

The first part of the month keeps your attention oriented towards work and relationships, in which you have to combine diplomacy, attention to others’ feelings and the need to impose healthy limits on those who depend too much on you. This does not mean that you cannot also enjoy free time, vacation or entertainment, experiences that Mars in Taurus will favor from July 5. The configuration additionally energizes romantic experiences and interactions with children.

Until July 22, transits through Cancer help you improve your relationship style, build yourself better as a partner and team member, but also to carefully select your circles of acquaintances. AstroFidelia recommends keeping close only people who don’t waste your precious time. Some co-workers and collaborators may prove to be great dialogue partners.

After the Sun and Mercury enter Leo, a period of focus on complex emotions and very close relationships follows. They force certain awareness and alchemies that can transform you deeply. You may also participate in the transformation of others, especially if you allow a total emotional sincerity between you. At the same time, this part of the month may require attention to shared financial resources.

Aquarius

For you, Mars’ ingress into Taurus on July 5 means a month in which you direct a lot of energy towards family and home activities. This is where you can demonstrate your courage, initiative and practical spirit. Everything must also pass some efficiency tests, so that you do not spend more energy or resources than is the case, but still solve what needs to be solved. Meanwhile, the Sun in Cancer gives you zeal at work and the pleasure of feeling useful.

A suitable attitude in this context would also be the good organization of daily activities. Transits through Cancer make the period quite busy, while the first two weeks, with Venus in Gemini, simultaneously bring you the desire to disconnect from worries, have fun and concentrate on your hobbies. Until July 18, romantic situations are also favored, so you can consider the possibility of falling in love.

After July 22, the pressure at work decreases and leaves room for socializing opportunities that make you flexible, attentive to your partners. Situations may seem somehow established by others, while it is up to you to decide whether or not to let yourself be co-opted into their initiatives. Interactions with radiant, bright, generous and dignified people can help you build similar attitudes in yourself.

Pisces

For you, the first three weeks of the month would be suitable for a holiday. Whether you are on vacation or not, this period favors free time, moments of disconnection from work and worries, hobbies and other pleasant activities. It is good to put your happiness first and to try to live the present moment in a positive way. The period is also favorable for creative endeavours.

Simultaneously, the transits through Gemini in the first half of the month bring you close to people from the family. In these relationships, you tend to communicate more actively, but it is good to avoid gossip or dissipation in too many superficial directions. From July 5, Mars in Taurus also adds strength to your mind and urges you to thoroughly study information that can be of practical use to you. Short daily walks in nature help you clear your mind.

After July 22, the Sun and Mercury in Leo trigger a busier period at work. You need to feel useful, practice and improve your skills, interact with colleagues and clients. Meanwhile, as Jupiter advances into Aries, it is good to notice various financial opportunities and not waste them. Avoid overspending, but appreciate wisely what you have! Your value system goes through a phase of accelerated evolution.
