A friendly, sociable, and spiritual month is in your forecast, dear Leo. It’s a strong time for recreating yourself and your goals, particularly after the 21st. Circumstances in July insist you rid yourself of guilt about under-performing, and to develop faith and trust in a larger more spiritual plan. There may be changes necessary in your job or health routines from the 5-8. Do what you can to get yourself involved with others, through clubs, groups, and other social events, because these are the settings in which your personal magnetism is the strongest now.

Finding a better position for yourself professionally speaking will be easier than usual this month, dear Virgo. Others are recognizing your charm and determination, and your ability to network and communicate with ease in July only sweetens the pot. Your social agenda is busy as well, as you find that you’re not only in demand on the job, you’re also generating great interest amongst friends. Your romantic life is likely to be emotional and dramatic from the 5-8, and the Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning with friends and group associations.

Your career is a big focus this month, dear Libra, and the chance for a new start professionally speaking occurs from the 21st forward. While it means a change of position for some, for many of you it’s about new commitments. The 5-8 brings urgent demands from home and family. These events serve as a reminder of personal responsibilities on the home front, as you’ve been paying a lot of attention to your public and professional life. Luckily, you have energy to spare and an especially adventurous spirit in July.

Events in July bring up the issues of freedom and mobility for you, dear Scorpio. You are feeling restless and restrained, and the need to put some spice and adventure into your life is strong. The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th sets the stage for a new commitment to finding more ways to get out and about. Intimate matters are heating up this month, keeping a romance interesting, but avoid reading between the lines too much. From the 5th forward, opportunities to get the support you need are strong, whether it’s financial or moral.

In July, focus is on a partner and relationships in general for you, dear Sagittarius. There are plenty of negotiations and compromises to make. Love is spicy, stimulating, sometimes challenging, but ultimately very satisfying this month. Your personal plans might be on hold for now as you tend to others’ needs. An important money matter comes to a head on the 5-8, prompting you to take more control over your finances, including any shared resources with a partner. Changes in your income, or that of a partner, are in store.

July promises to be an eye-opening month for you, dear Capricorn, with Lunar and Solar Eclipses occurring in your sign and in Cancer, the one opposite yours. Partnerships are a big theme this month, and will be for months to come. New beginnings in relationships are in the works, and June’s events get the ball rolling in that direction. On the 5-8, your emotions are heightened and a personal revelation occurs that might surprise you. Work is especially stimulating in July, and offers you wonderful social, and possibly romantic, opportunities.

Heightened romantic feelings and playful impulses are themes for you in July, dear Aquarius. It’s a strong period for taking a small, perhaps familiar, vacation that allows you to rest, relax, recoup, and enjoy yourself. A vacation that is too ambitious, exotic, or unfamiliar might only serve to stress you out. Changes in work or health routines are in the works, and July’s events alert you to the need for making necessary adjustments. Overall, July is a time to adapt and attract rather than initiate new projects or endeavors.

Big changes in your love life, with friends, and in your job are in the works for you in the next few months, dear Pisces, and July’s events will give you a sense of what needs to be done. Tests in these areas of your life are likely now, and pave the way for new beginnings to come. Your more playful, creative, and romantic impulses are stimulated now, making it a good time for a vacation. Nevertheless, there is a lot of stimulating activity in your home and with family in July.

Changes on both professional and personal fronts are in store for you in the next few months, dear Aries, and July’s events will give you a sense of what’s coming, and what needs to be done to prepare. The cosmos are nudging your attention in the direction of home and family, and getting everything in order in this life department. This might require some changes in your approach to career, and some schedule juggling. Others are hanging on your words this month, and stimulating conversations about love and relationship figure strongly.

A flurry of activity in July can leave your head spinning at times, dear Taurus. There are errands to run, calls and emails to make, and paperwork to sort out. Do your best to tend to these matters in an orderly fashion, making lists and following them, or you could put yourself through unnecessary stress. You have the ability to find extra sources of income this month, but at the same time, your tendency to spend what you earn runs high. The last week of July finds you focusing on your home and family.

The need to sort out your finances becomes apparent in July, dear Gemini. Events, such as the need to fulfill financial obligations, occur now that push you in that direction. Some drama regarding shared finances with a partner, loans, or taxes is likely this month. On a personal level, your personal magnetism skyrockets from the 5th, and especially after the 12th. Others are following your lead, and this is especially true of love interests and friends, and your charm knows no bounds. Take advantage of this exciting energy!
