You better put yourself out there when Mercury in Leo connects with Jupiter in Gemini on July 8. Your words can help you attract the support of others today. Maybe you learn about a raise, go viral on social media, or launch a new product. Whatever it may be, you definitely have a reason or two to celebrate. You’re overwhelmed with gratitude and love for your chosen family when Venus in Cancer mingles with Neptune in Pisces on July 11. Someone makes you feel extra special when you need it the most. You might also feel more nostalgic or even find yourself pining over an ex. Later in the day, things heat up when Venus enters Leo and then rams into Pluto in Aquarius. Venus in Leo loves dramatic and bold displays of affection, so the next few weeks can really spice up your romantic life. This is a busy time for dating and experimenting with pleasure and desire! However, you’ll also need to confront jealousy, possessiveness, and issues around control in your relationships, both platonic and romantic.

Just when you think things can’t get more dramatic, Mars and Uranus link up in the sky on July 15. This is a volatile combination and it can bring surprising and explosive events. You might find yourself in a fight that centers your personal values or finances. Unexpected expenses or shocking changes at work can pop up today, too, so do your best to swipe your credit card with discernment.

Mars, the planet of motivation and anger, enters Gemini on July 20, putting you in a chattier mood. It may feel nearly impossible to keep up with all of your group chats. Watch out for miscommunication: Others might feel like you’re in an argumentative state of mind when really you’re just setting boundaries. This is also a productive time to learn new things and you might find that your social calendar is filling up. You’re in high demand!

A Full Moon in Capricorn lights up the skies on July 21—and yes, this the second Full Moon in Capricorn this year. This month’s Full Moon asks you to confront power struggles at home and at work. You might consider leaving a job or you could feel guilty for wanting to share your accomplishments. This is not the time to shy away from the spotlight! You deserve recognition, even if it attracts a few jealous haters along the way! Fortunately, on the same day, Venus in Leo syncs up with Jupiter in Gemini, delivering a social and generous mood. You might attend a fun event with friends and family or have exciting news to share with your loved ones. Go on and show the world what you’re most proud of.

The Sun enters Leo on July 22, kicking off Leo season 2024! The next few weeks help you reconnect to the present moment. Luck is on your side: You feel like you’re in the right place, at the right time, attracting attention from the right people. This is a great time to put yourself out there and date, as well as to recommit to a personal project that uses the creative side of your brain. On the same day, the Sun in Leo locks eyes with Pluto in Aquarius, revealing new information. You’re dealing with power, control, and learning to love and accept all parts of yourself.

The month winds down with Mercury, the planet of communication, entering Virgo on July 25. Typically, Mercury thrives when it moves through this zodiac sign, making communication easier and more effective. However, Mercury will go retrograde in Virgo next month and the pre-retrograde shadow period begins on July 28—so you’ve only got a few days of clear skies. As the pre-retrograde shadow begins, you can start to piece together clues to your upcoming Mercury Retrograde story, so pay attention. This period will bring more activity to your daily habits and routine. You may need to make some adjustments, sacrifices, or set boundaries over the next few weeks.
