Summer is finally here and you’re ready to make the most of it! The month starts off in Cancer season. No matter your zodiac sign, you’re focused on spending time with loved ones and making your home feel comfortable. Don’t be surprised if you’re hit with waves of nostalgia—Cancer season brings out everyone’s sentimental side!

There’s some confusion in the air at the start of the month when Neptune Retrograde begins in Pisces on July 2. You might find yourself reconsidering some of your current dreams over the next few months, or unable to tell fact from fiction. Be mindful of relying on vices or slipping up on boundaries. On the same day, Mercury in Cancer gently connects with Neptune in Pisces, heightening your intuition and leaving you full of creative inspiration. Mercury enters Leo later in the day, switching up your communication style. Sure, you might start to over-exaggerate over the next few weeks, but you’re just trying to keep your audience entertained! Also July 2, Venus in Cancer mingles with Saturn in Pisces, encouraging you to discuss boundaries and commitments in your relationships.

The next day, hidden information sparks feelings of jealousy and drama when Mercury in Leo stares down Pluto in Aquarius. Then, you’re ready to take calculated action when Mars in Taurus connects with Saturn in Pisces on July 5. Whatever you funnel your energy into today has staying power, so make a plan and stick with it!

Also on July 5, the New Moon in Cancer ushers in a fresh chapter in your personal life. You could break free from your past, experience changes in a family dynamic, or find yourself considering a move. Your relationships get some unexpected surprises when Venus in Cancer syncs up with Uranus in Taurus on July 8. This is a great day to experiment in the bedroom or to share a truth with a partner. The Sun in Cancer brushes up against Saturn in Pisces on July 10, delivering grounding energy. You’re proud of your consistency over the past few months, and you may receive some recognition for all of your hard work.

Romance is in the air on July 11 when Venus in Cancer nestles up next to Neptune in Pisces. Relationships deepen and you might feel swept off your feet! This is beautiful energy for manifestation and creativity. On the same day, Venus, the planet of relationships, enters Leo. Big, bold displays of affection are on the menu: Hard launch your relationship! Bring back a flash mob! Hire a skywriter! But then, you’ll have to explore the shadow sides of your relationship—like feelings of jealousy or imbalance—when Venus in Leo locks eyes with Pluto in Aquarius on July 12. This energy intensifies on July 15 when Mars and Uranus, both in Taurus, meet up in the sky, putting everyone on edge.

Solutions to your problems arrive when the Sun in Cancer mingles with Uranus in Taurus on July 18. News you learn today can feel inspiring, liberating, and helpful. Mars in Taurus links up with Neptune in Pisces on July 20, kicking up your creativity…and your libido. Enjoy! Mars, the planet of motivation and anger, enters Gemini later that same day. You’ll likely find yourself in a debate or two over the next few weeks, and it may feel impossible to keep up with all of your texts, emails, and ideas.

The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21 brings a moment of accomplishment, either personally or professionally. On the same day, Venus in Leo joins together with Jupiter in Gemini, and you’re feeling supported and grateful. This is a lovely day to plan a party, go on a first date, or to get together with loved ones. Later in the day, Mercury, the planet of communication, rams into unpredictable Uranus. Communication can feel abrupt, you may also be struck with an exciting idea out of the blue, or you could run into someone you haven’t seen in awhile.

The Sun enters Leo, its favorite sign, on July 22, and you’re ready to party! No matter your zodiac sign, Leo season is a great time to reconnect with your inner child or inner teen—what used to make you happy? You might consider picking up old hobbies or interests in order to cultivate more joy and fun in your daily life. On the same day, you’ll have to confront some hidden truths in your psyche when the Sun in Leo sits across the sky from Pluto in Aquarius. Breakthroughs and healing can take place when you choose to be honest with yourself.

Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Virgo July 25. Usually, this makes for clear communication, but Mercury is gearing up to go retrograde in early August—sorry! The next few days offer a preview to your personal Mercury Retrograde story, so pay attention to what and who are taking up residence in your mind. You get a healthy dose of confidence on the same day when the Sun in Leo mingles with Mars in Gemini. This is a great day to post that sexy selfie, take a creative risk, or push yourself outside of your comfort zone.

The month wraps up with Chiron, the asteroid known as the wounded healer, going retrograde in Aries on July 26. You may feel past pain come up and be tempted to turn to old coping mechanisms. Give yourself space and time to process. This is all a part of your evolution.
