July 2026
Both your Ascendant (Rising Sign) and Sun Sign offer valuable insights. For the most personalised reading, being with your Ascendant, then read your Sun Sign horoscope to gain a more complete picture.
Aries (21 march – 19 april)
While it is true that, since March, those of you born under Aries entered a period of new beginnings, the path ahead may not yet be as clear as you had hoped. This new chapter seems to be accompanied by uncertainty, obstacles, and new responsibilities.
You are emerging from several years of deep self-reflection, during which you realised that certain paths no longer work for you because they don’t provide deeper meaning or fulfilment. For some of you, external circumstances are also encouraging you to step forward, whether you feel ready or not. The cosmos is now inviting you to bring into reality the deeper needs, values, and truths you have discovered about yourself over the past two to three years. Some of you may also find yourselves becoming more intuitive or drawn to spirituality, art, or other forms of creative expression.
Moving forward requires more cooperation with those around you than you, as an independent Aries, are naturally used to. The best solution will come through compromise rather than through a solo, pioneering approach. Your role, Aries, is still to lead and venture where others rarely dare to go, but this time true leadership also requires empathy, patience, and inclusion.
Communication will be one of your greatest strengths this month. Learning, networking, important conversations, and possibly unexpected short trips will keep July active and mentally stimulating.
July will also bring more enjoyment into your life. As Jupiter enters Leo, you will begin to feel more at ease. A new love interest may appear, or you may finally find more time for the activities that truly bring you joy. Home-related matters that are not running smoothly may temporarily move into the background, as life seems to be calling you elsewhere.
With a little patience and empathy—which you are already learning to cultivate, dear Aries—you will handle this month very well. Bring a little more tact into your relationships and approach any challenges at home with compassion and diplomacy. You possess these qualities more than you may believe. And remember, not everyone sees what needs to be done as quickly as you do, and most people need much more time before they are ready to act.
Taurus (20 april – 20 may)
After a whirlwind few years, your life has finally started to become more predictable. As a Taurus, you appreciate peace, stability, and the comfort of knowing where life is heading. Yet the past few years have brought many unexpected changes—most of which I doubt you would have chosen yourself. Life simply pushed you in directions you had not planned for.
These changes may have shaken your sense of security, but they also opened the door to experiences you would probably never have embraced on your own. Your love of stability often makes change difficult, but every now and then it becomes necessary. Uranus, the planet of change, makes sure we do not remain stuck where growth is needed. Sometimes this means unexpected endings, sudden changes of direction, or circumstances beyond our control. Looking back, however, you may already recognise that these experiences brought fresh energy into parts of your life where you had been standing still for far too long.
Now, after years of change, you are beginning to enjoy where you are. Even if, for some of you, this new stability still feels a little fragile, the road ahead is much clearer than it was just a few months ago. You may even find yourself appreciating where life has brought you, despite the fact that very little of it was your first choice. You needed these new experiences to become more fully yourself. If you are still unsure about that, give it time. A year from now, you will feel firmly rooted in your new circumstances.
These changes have also transformed the way others see you. Your public image has evolved, and although you may not feel completely comfortable with it just yet, your home can become the sanctuary you need while you continue adjusting. In another two years, you will be ready to fully embrace everything you have experienced over the past five years. You will not simply have a different life—you will have become a different person.
This month, find comfort in your home or wherever you feel most at peace. You may decide to invest in improving your living space, and it is likely to be money well spent.
Financial matters will occupy much of your attention this month, and the energy you invest in them has the potential to bring excellent results.
Travel plans may prove more challenging than expected, so be prepared for unexpected changes, especially if you are travelling before 24 July. Flexibility will go a long way while Mercury is retrograde, as plans made before then are more likely to change.
Gemini (21 may – 20 june)
This will be a very active month, dear Gemini, filled with movement, conversations, and opportunities to connect with others. No one will have much chance of slowing you down, and you are unlikely to have much patience for those who cannot keep up with your pace. You will be sharp, full of brilliant ideas, and at your very best in everything that relies on your quick mind, charm, and wit. This is your month to shine, despite Mercury being retrograde until 24 July.
Expect plenty of short trips and opportunities to meet interesting new people along the way. Watch out for last-minute changes while Mercury is retrograde, especially before 24 July. Nevertheless, your curiosity will keep pulling you in different directions, making this one of the most dynamic months of the year.
Your greatest challenge this month will not be finding opportunities, but deciding which ones truly deserve your time and energy. Choose carefully: not every exciting idea needs to be pursued, nor every invitation accepted. Use Mercury retrograde to review your priorities, reconnect with valuable contacts, and refine your plans before taking the next step. Slow down for a moment so you can move much further afterwards.
This is also a favourable time to consider new ways to increase your income, although some adjustments may be required first. A new service-oriented business or source of income may be taking shape. However, avoid launching anything important until Mercury turns direct after 24 July. Use the time to refine your ideas, build connections, and prepare your plans.
If you are looking for a new love interest, you may meet someone intriguing while travelling or through your many activities. There is every chance that this connection could develop further once the planetary energy becomes more supportive.
Overall, July promises to be one of your busiest months. Your enthusiasm, ideas, and natural charm will attract the right people and open new doors as the month comes to a close. Stay curious, stay flexible, but remember that your greatest success this month will come from choosing wisely where to invest your remarkable talents.
Cancer (21 june – 22 july)
June ended with a culminating Full Moon in your partnership sector. The emphasis here is on your business partnerships rather than your personal relationships. If it affected your private relationships, it was likely because a readjustment between your personal and professional life became necessary. Something related to your status or the way you have been perceived publicly required your attention during June, and communication around these matters may continue into the beginning of July. The New Moon on 13 July may be particularly significant, so pay close attention to the clues, realisations, and ideas that arise around that time.
As the month unfolds, your focus will gradually shift inward. You will begin to reflect on the issues that have come to the surface, and by the time Mercury turns direct again on 24 July, you are likely to gain valuable insights that will help you move forward with greater clarity.
Jupiter has just moved into Leo, and this should leave you feeling more optimistic about yourself and your future. New financial opportunities may emerge over the coming months, particularly as a result of the projects you began during the past year, which will gradually bear fruit.
Big psychological changes are taking place beneath your awareness. While you may already be aware that something is shifting at a profound level, it may not yet be entirely clear what needs to change in order for you to find greater inner contentment. Exactly how these inner transformations will unfold in your life remains to be seen over the coming years. The process of releasing outdated patterns that have held you back for years is now entering its final stage, and only time will reveal where this inner journey ultimately leads you.
Leo (23 july – 22 august)
Your time is finally here! Jupiter has moved into your sign, promising a prosperous year ahead. You are likely to feel loved, admired, respected, and at your very best.
July may still feel like a period of adjustment as you ease into these better times. You might still be finalising certain projects or coming to the realisation that some ideas no longer serve you, or that certain chapters of your life have come to an end. It is in your best interest to let them go. Trust the process.
You are going to enjoy July. Expect plenty of memorable moments with friends, plus opportunities to explore new places, experiences, and adventures. As a Leo, you enjoy being popular, admired, and at the top, but this also brings a responsibility towards those who are less fortunate.
So, dear Leo, don’t fall into the trap of keeping all the popularity and admiration that Jupiter brings you for yourself. Share your success with others, and be willing to compromise where necessary. Jupiter may make you feel as though you cannot fail, but the cosmos is asking you to use your gifts for the benefit of others and to become an empathetic leader.
If your views on life are challenged, remain flexible and open to different perspectives. They may prove far more beneficial in the long term than they appear at first. At the same time, Pluto, transiting the sign opposite yours, will test you at your core if you become too rigid or unwilling to compromise when it matters most.
Virgo (23 august – 22 september)
Friends and communities will play an important role in your life this month. With Mercury retrograde in your 11th house, together with the Sun’s presence there, they will occupy much of your attention throughout July. Something within your social circle may need to be resolved, or one of your friends may require more attention than usual.
Your chart shows you will remain rather busy throughout July, with a quieter period beginning towards the end of the month. Use this time to finish what needs to be completed and adjust what needs to be adjusted, so that you can fully enjoy August.
After the New Moon on 14 July, you can expect the month to begin flowing more smoothly. Things will truly start to fall into place after 24 July, when Mercury turns direct.
You are considering significant changes to your work. If these changes are not initiated by you, external factors may prompt you to move in this direction, and this theme will remain relevant over the next three to four months. You are probably already sensing that these changes are approaching. My suggestion is to take an active role in shaping this transition rather than waiting for it to happen. You should be the one directing these changes, dear Virgo.
While you may feel that you have less control over the situation than you would like, Venus, which enters your sign on 9 July, will bring charm and grace to your interactions with others, helping you make the very best of it. Your natural charm will also help ease any tension that may arise during Mercury retrograde.
When it comes to resolving any challenging relationship issues, first wait to see what the New Moon on 14 July reveals. Then postpone any final decisions until the very end of the month.
Libra (23 september – 22 october)
This month, Mercury retrograde moves through your 10th house of status, career, and public reputation, putting how you present yourself to the world in focus. The balance between what you truly feel and how you communicate when you want to create change will be a central theme throughout July.
Your relationships have been going through a challenging period recently, and your diplomatic skills have been seriously tested—and deeply needed.
How do you move forward from this point and address these challenges? You know this better than anyone, dear Libra—the diplomat of the zodiac. For many of you, there will be no need to make any dramatic changes just yet, as the way forward is not entirely clear at the moment. Instead, adjust your approach and explore your emotions more deeply. With Saturn in your 7th house, your partnerships require attention, and some important decisions about their future may already be on your mind. If you are in doubt, talk to your best friend—they may offer valuable advice.
Mars entered Gemini towards the end of June, bringing you the stamina and energy needed to move forward with what matters most. The main takeaway is to use this momentum to broaden your horizons, whether through foreign travel, exciting new journeys, or both. Just be sure to keep a close eye on all your travel plans and details, as Mercury will be retrograde for much of July, making delays, changes, or misunderstandings more likely.
Scorpio (23 october – 21 november)
This is a month in which you will be dealing with important financial matters, other people’s money, and possibly inheritance or investment issues. Intimate relationships may also be emphasized, and some delicate conversations about them might be necessary for those of you in relationships. You might travel to foreign lands, where your strategic negotiation skills could prove essential. With Jupiter in your status sector, I believe you will achieve what you want and receive notable recognition for it.
After 24 July, Mercury will no longer be retrograde and communication will flow more smoothly. So, if possible, try to postpone any important decisions until the last week of the month, as decisions made before then may need to be revisited, unless you are resolving a long-standing issue rather than starting something new. Keep in mind that the last week of July may also be a better time to resolve matters related to money, inheritance, shared finances, or intimacy. However, I doubt you will have the luxury of choosing the timing completely.
When travelling, double-check all your schedules and documents, as Mercury retrograde may bring unexpected obstacles or delays.
For those of you who are still studying or pursuing further education, invest your remaining efforts into achieving the results you want before the summer break. Doing so will give you a crucial advantage in the months ahead. The stars say that with focused effort and commitment, you can succeed, dear Scorpio.
Overall, July is still a busy month for you, so keep an eye on your daily rhythm, sleep patterns, and make sure you get enough physical activity, as everyday life may be slightly draining. However, you will be especially popular this month, and both what you achieve and what you say will leave a lasting impression on those around you.
Sagittarius (22 november – 21 december)
This is a month when your best will come from travelling, filling your soul with distant horizons and exciting adventures. Your energy will be focused on relationships—both private and professional. They can flourish, as long as you allow enough space in every interaction and don’t push only your own agenda. Expect some fiery discussions during the first week of July, particularly where patience is required. If not, the need to break free will become too strong to ignore. Don’t make any major moves; wait until Mercury turns direct on 24 July.
For those of you who have not been in touch with the Sagittarian quest for the unknown, an opportunity may arise to turn your life around. One thing is certain: what you no longer need in your life will become too much to carry. Unless you choose to address it consciously, life itself will step in to help you return to who you truly are at your core.
While this is most relevant for Sagittarians born in the first few days of the sign, other Sagittarians will feel a restless energy as well. The inner voice calling for change is growing stronger by the day, and you are beginning a process to break free and regain your freedom from any work-related or long-term partnership restrictions which didn’t allow your development. This does not necessarily mean the end of the partnership; rather, it is the last possible option if you have felt caged and couldn’t find your way out so far. If you’ve had enough space for yourself and your projects, and if you have been in touch with your inner individual self enough, Uranus in your 7th house will rather add more excitement.
Financial matters, other people’s money, and intimacy will take up much of your attention, and you will note delays on this front. Wait until 24 July, when Mercury will turn direct when you will find common ground much easier. Those of you who are single may attract someone very different from the people you’re used to meeting. This person enters your life with an intriguing mystery that you will find difficult to resist. This new person might be a manifestation of what your soul truly needs.
Capricorn (22 december – 19 january)
July puts your home and partnership situation into focus. You will have time to notice where you stand with any unresolved issues and also have the opportunity to bring up matters that have been simmering beneath the surface. Expect some emotional discussions around these topics, and be patient, Capricorn. Some things cannot be addressed through logic alone. Open your heart and listen with your heart as well—you may hear much more.
Family situations, where emotions run deep, may be the areas in which, despite how much you try to find a solution, true peace comes only through accepting that you cannot change those around you. That acceptance might become the most insightful outcome of all.
July will also bring new—or long-forgotten—realisations about yourself, which have the potential to be deeply transformative. Furthermore, good investment opportunities may present themselves, if that is the path you choose to take. However, postpone any major financial moves until the very end of the month, or at least until Mercury turns direct after 24 July.
Learn to transform your relationship with money into something that brings you greater value than simply assets in the bank. Allow yourself to appreciate the many other ways money can enrich your life and bring happiness to both yourself and those you love.
Use July for psychological renewal. Enjoy your own company and try to let go of the need for others to develop at the same pace as you. Some people simply wish to remain where they are and keep things just as they are.
Aquarius (20 january – 18 february)
Your month will be marked by plenty of activity, and the more unusual and exciting it is, the better. Spending time with your children and enjoying activities together is also likely to be especially rewarding. You will have a great deal of physical energy, so make sure you channel it into something active. Otherwise, it may lead to unnecessary arguments or restlessness.
Mercury will be retrograde in your 6th house of daily work, in Cancer, bringing old ideas about your work back to the surface. Some of these ideas may carry a strong emotional connection or be linked to your home and family. They may point towards something that truly nurtures your soul. The cosmos is reminding you that ideas from the past—ones you may have already set aside—are still relevant and deserve your serious consideration.
This is also a time when you will enjoy socialising and may meet people who could prove beneficial to you in the long term.
With Saturn in your third house, you have been doing some deep thinking lately. Neptune has also been active there, making it unlikely that you have reached any firm conclusions just yet. However, something has been quietly developing beneath the surface, and it is likely to have a lasting impact on your life in the years ahead.
During July, communication may become more challenging, leading to misunderstandings. With Mercury retrograde for much of the month, make sure to double-check your travel plans and take extra care to communicate as clearly as possible. Once Mercury goes direct again after 24 July, communication will flow more smoothly. During Mercury retrograde, try not to resolve any long-standing issues with your children. If possible, wait until after 24 July before having those conversations.
Pisces (19 february – 20 march)
July will be marked by a great deal of activity around your home. You might be moving, renovating, or simply spending more time at home than usual. If you recently started a creative project and wish to make a living from it, you will need to make some adjustments. You may initially see them as limitations to your creativity; however, if these changes give you the opportunity to earn an income from something you truly love, they will ultimately make perfect sense. This is a highly creative period for you, and discovering how to turn your creativity into a source of income may become the central theme of the month. For those of you who are not yet following a sufficiently creative, artistic, or even healing path, the obstacles ahead may feel a little more challenging. You are being asked to review what you truly wish to do for a living and what your inner calling is.
You are in the middle of a deep inner transformation, one that is finally shifting the focus back to you—who you are, where you are going, and what you truly wish to do. To get there, it is important to identify which parts of your life need greater freedom and whose opinions you no longer need to carry with you. This process, which has been unfolding for quite some time already, may even lead you back to your early youth. It is time to reclaim your inner power and move towards the person you are truly meant to become.
Partnerships may not take centre stage this month. You will be much more absorbed in your own projects, and that is exactly where your focus is meant to be. Towards the end of the month, when Mercury turns direct again, communication within your relationships will become much smoother. However, you may already notice a lighter and more harmonious energy from 9 July, when Venus enters your sign.
