Cancer: 22 June – 22 July
Fortune comes in the form of new friendships, deeper intimacy, and the move towards self-acceptance. While you may be selective about the company you keep, July encourages you to extend compassion to everyone you interact with. A deep cleanse is ideal around July 5, so take time off this month to spruce up your safe spaces, metaphorically and literally.

Leo: 23 July – 23 August
From July 2, you’re lined up to experience a burst of communicative ease and confidence, which makes this month suitable for presentations and social gatherings. After July 11, your magnetism reaches new heights and others may be unconsciously drawn to your presence. However, your challenge is learning to be your own muse rather than somebody’s ideal type.
Virgo: 24 August – 23 September
You may feel exhausted juggling countless responsibilities or simply waiting for a new opportunity to arise. Thankfully, your perseverance will likely pay off but you may be too tired to enjoy it. Use this month to actively seek sources of support that are not limited to holing yourself up at home and doom-scrolling on your phone.
Libra: 24 September – 23 October
Small acts of rebellion will serve you well this month. In particular, the latter half of July will give you the confidence boost needed to explore paths less travelled. You may be embarking on a solo trip, or trying something new alone. Take this opportunity to surprise yourself without caring how others perceive you.

Scorpio: 24 October – 22 November
Your heart is your most trusted teacher this month, Scorpio. Pay close attention to your emotional reactions towards people. Who drains you and who encourages you to evolve? You don’t have to make major changes in your life to see the most growth. Instead, try tailoring your social life and commitments towards those who share similar beliefs and values.
Sagittarius: 23 November – 21 December
What were you made for? July presents you with multiple openings for soul-searching and intensive reflection. You don’t have to find a fixed answer to this question. In fact, the process is more precious than the resolution. Turn on airplane mode, scribble in a journal, or take yourself out on a date at least once this month.
Capricorn: 22 December – 20 January
Stress is on the horizon as you vie for a highly regarded position, project or deal. The trick is for you to seek collaboration in place of competition. Find strength in numbers and a shared vision. The period around July 20 will grant you the persuasion needed to appeal to different parties, so make full use of your charisma.
Aquarius: 21 January – 19 February
Your tendency to dissect and criticise seems to be on overdrive and it’s difficult for you to find the right matches for your criteria, especially in your career. Put in the effort to accept and improve yourself rather than focus on the faults of others. Only then will you attract people and opportunities aligned with a healthier version of success.

Aries: 21 March – 20 April
July’s message for you is short and bittersweet: move on. Whether it’s moving on from a dream that’s no longer realistic or a person that’s become problematic, your medicine is the realisation that you’ve outgrown these influences. From July 2 onwards, life throws you chances to uncover deep truths about yourself to move towards a more open mindset.
Taurus: 21 April – 21 May
You’re making significant strides this month in the areas you hold closest to your heart. You don’t have to announce these goals to the world yet. Focus on doing the work needed to bring them into reality. The more original your vision, the more powerful it is—draw up a plan that exceeds your initial expectations.
Gemini: 22 May – 21 June
Stop waiting for a person or situation to come around. You deserve to enjoy happiness in its fullest form, not a half-baked version that fails to reciprocate your enthusiasm. This month, pay extra attention to where and how you invest your energy, recognise a dead-end, and cut your losses to make space for fresh sources of inspiration.
