Your July 2021 Wellness Horoscopes ✨
July starts with an abundance of Cancer energy from the Sun, a New Moon, and Mercury alike — and everybody is processing something. It’s all building up to big things as a hot, glittering Leo season and an inquisitive Full Moon in Aquarius approach.
Read on to see how these shifts will impact your sign and be sure to explore your updated Alo Moves and Spotify playlists.
CANCER
It’s your birthday, Cancer, and it seems like the entire sky has arrived to party with you! A New Moon in your sign on July 9 brings an emotional release. Since the moon is your ruling planet, she’s coming on a little extra strong, so set aside some time to nourish yourself with your favorite comfort food or a warm bath. Mercury gives those feelings a voice when it arrives in your sign on July 11, so let your loved ones know how they can support you — and get ready for some serious journaling.
All of this processing is making you stronger and increasing your sense of self. When the sun enters fiery Leo on July 22, you’ll emerge with newfound confidence. The Full Moon in Aquarius the very next day invites you to own this transformation, so set intentions for making your deepest dreams a reality. This month’s playlist is all about building strength from within.
LEO
Has watery Cancer season been dampening your fire, Leo? It’s time to take an internal inventory, plug up those emotional leaks, and figure out what’s been holding you back. You’ll want to spend that New Moon in Cancer on July 9 meditating; you’ll be laying the groundwork for when chatty Mercury slips into Cancer on the 11th, unearthing what you’ve buried deep within yourself. Make space here for grand gestures of radical self-love: Take yourself on dates. Spend all day cooking yourself the fanciest meal you can make. Write love letters to yourself.
You’ll emerge brighter than ever when the Sun, also your ruling planet, enters your sign on July 22 — and when Mercury follows on July 27, the spotlight will be on shining, glittery YOU. This month’s playlist is about showing off your true self.
VIRGO
Love is in the air, Virgo — and watery Cancer is nourishing it. Last month’s big social energy is still going strong, and the New Moon on July 11 breathes more life into your friendships. Lovey-dovey Venus enters your sign on the 21st, so plan something intentional with your best friends, your partner, or a new crush.
But there’s a shadow side to this month, so set aside time to check in with yourself and keep your journal handy. While Leo season, which starts July 22, represents fun and fire for other signs, it kicks up trouble in your inner world, especially as July 23rd’s Full Moon in Aquarius calls attention to your health. Gossipy Mercury, your ruling planet, also moves into Leo on July 27, which could bring some secrets to the surface. But don’t hang up those party pants yet! Warrior Mars swoops into your sign on the 29th to remind you that you’ve got this. This month’s playlist is about balancing the internal with the external.
LIBRA
Be your own greatest cheerleader this month, Libra! Put some affirmation Post-It notes on your mirror for the New Moon on July 9. Chatty Mercury heads into your reputation and social status zone on July 11, so it’s a great time to go out and show the world what you’re made of! The stars are aligning to give you a creative spark and a sense of ambition.
The spotlight shifts to your relationships on July 21, when affectionate Venus arrives in Virgo to shake out hidden truths. It’s a beautiful time to let your loved ones know how you feel about them — Leo season starts the next day, bringing abundance and friendship your way. The Full Moon in Aquarius on July 23 boosts your self-expression and pleasure, so don’t hold anything back: Wear your favorite ‘fit and go chase your wildest desires. This month’s playlist is about bold manifestation.
Scorpio
What drives you, Scorpio? The New Moon in Cancer on July 9 invites you to explore your deepest inner-workings: Your morals, your long-term ambition, and your spiritual life. Plan something outside your normal routine that can help you process the big questions, like a day trip, a retreat, or a staycation with a reading list. Don’t be afraid to lean on those closest to you for support, especially as loving Venus blesses your friendships starting July 21.
This hard, introspective work pays off with the Full Moon in galaxy-brain Aquarius on July 23, illuminating your home, your chosen family, and your foundation. You’ll be ready to dance it out with your besties when your ruling planet Mars energizes your social life on the 29th. This month’s playlist is all about laying the groundwork.
Sagittarius
Big changes are happening in your life, Sagittarius, testing your legendary ability to adapt. The New Moon in Cancer on July 9 represents rebirth for you, and a chance to articulate what you want from your new reality. While you have a tendency to be impulsive, leave plenty of time for processing during this transition: Go on long walks, have deep conversations with your friends, write in a journal, and maybe make some pro/con lists. Follow your natural curiosity and explore all your options.
Be gentle and patient with yourself on July 23, when the Full Moon in Aquarius illuminates some harsh information — it’s a good day to light some candles and take a long bath. Remember that your ruling planet, Jupiter, is in retrograde, inviting you to clear space for new blessings. When it moves into your information area on July 28, you’ll have a clearer view of the path forward. This month’s playlist is here to help you clear out the clutter.
Capricorn
You’re such a careful planner, Capricorn, but are you factoring in those closest to you? Slow down and listen closely during the New Moon on July 9 — someone important to you, maybe your partner, is trying to communicate a need. Focus on building plans collaboratively this month, because exploring each other’s goals and desires will only bring you closer together. Make wishlists for the coming months and show them to each other. Build in plenty of bonding time, whether it’s a spa day, a date night, or just plenty of cuddly movie nights at home.
Leo Season, which starts July 22, could bring big changes, and the Full Moon in Aquarius on July 23 might throw some material curveballs like money trouble your way. Just keep communicating and you’ll get through it together. This month’s playlist is about collaboration and making space for love.
Aquarius
We regret to inform you that it’s time to start building some routines, Aquarius — but you can and should skip any routines that don’t serve you. For the New Moon in Cancer on July 9, write down some ways that you can nurture yourself, then spend the next couple of weeks exploring how you can manifest them, whether it’s making yourself a special breakfast in the morning, blocking out some reading or yoga time during the workday, or starting a nourishing skincare regimen before bedtime. The Full Moon in your sign on July 23 shines a light on everything that makes you special, so pull out all the self-care stops: Light your favorite candles, eat your favorite foods, and celebrate your own abundance.
Jupiter, now in retrograde, returns to your sign on July 28, and it’s sticking around until October. With all you’ve learned about what nourishes you, start leaving the unhelpful stuff behind. This month’s playlist is all about learning to love yourself.
Pisces
Cancer season can be heavy for some signs, but as a fellow water sign, you’re having a great time splashing around in the waves. The New Moon on July 9 invites you to build creative energy, and as Mercury travels through your pleasure zone, you’re inspired to take it in new and exciting directions. Tackle all the creative skills you’ve been meaning to build: Learn that new musical instrument. Write that poetry chapbook. Go dancing. This is your time to play. Loving Venus lights up your partnerships starting on the 21st, so invite a loved one along for the ride. Don’t suppress your feelings for the sake of a good time, though: The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 23rd could stir up emotions or secrets below the surface. Try not to get too anxious — lean on your besties and keep living your best life. This month’s playlist is about trying new things.
Aries
You’re normally speeding in all directions, Aries, but all of this potent Cancer energy is driving you toward home. For the Full Moon on July 9, freshen up your pad: rearrange your furniture, paint a wall, or just light a fresh candle. When informative Mercury begins traveling through your home life on July 11, start exploring new ways to support your home and family, like learning a new cooking technique or crafting useful gifts. Venus starts encouraging you to show your love in practical ways on July 21 — just a couple of days before the Full Moon in Aquarius on July 23 brings abundance to your friendships — so start using those skills to spread some joy. Warrior Mars travels to your home and family sector on July 29, reminding you to love your inner circle fiercely. This month’s playlist is all about strengthening your roots.
taurus
Your typical earthy vibes are giving way to insatiable curiosity and unstoppable social energy, Taurus. Embrace it during the New Moon on July 9 by writing some letters or postcards, or perhaps sharing a ritual with friends. But when Mercury, the planet of communication, comes into your house of communication, things really kick into overdrive, and you might feel a little restless! Find a way to work off that excess energy without burning out, like a road trip to a new place or signing up for an exciting class. Sensual Venus, your ruling planet, starts its visit to your house of pleasure on July 21, helping you manifest your desires.
Welcome yourself back home when Leo season starts on July 22 with a grounding meditation, because the New Moon in Aquarius the next day could shake things up in your professional life, potentially creating long-term changes. But after the last month’s exploration, you have a better sense of your desires — and warrior Mars moves into your corner on July 29 to help you achieve them. This month’s playlist is about finding your power.
GEMINI
You’re used to flying free, Gemini, but you’ve suddenly found yourself drawn back to the Earth. You have some kind of practical business (UGH, we know) to take care of. July 9’s New Moon is putting her foot down and telling you to make a budget, get a planner, or check if that free trial is about to expire. Informative Mercury slides helpfully into your material house on July 11 to help you get things in order for the next couple of weeks. This messenger planet is also there to remind you to value yourself, so write some affirmations in the margins.
The Full Moon in fellow air sign Aquarius is there to launch you back into the stars on July 23. Just remember to write home once in a while — you’re finishing out the month with both Venus and Mars visiting the home and family area of your chart to remind you where you came from. This month’s playlist is about building foundations.
