July 2022 Horoscope: Aries

Take a moment for yourself, Aries. Ever since expansive Jupiter moved into your sign on May 10, you’ve been going nonstop. There’ve been so many new experiences to take in, and it’s been exciting. But even for your energetic sign, it’s been a lot to process!

Lucky for you, the remedy for overwhelm arrives this month. Until July 22, Cancer season sounds the call for a hearty dose of self-care—with a few side trips to the nearest beach, pool or hammock. Touch down at home base as much as you can while the Sun is in your nurturing, domestic fourth house. Focus on your personal needs and connect with your loved ones.

Another reason to pace yourself? The slow-moving outer planets are filing into retrograde repose, as they do for several months each year. Saturn, Neptune and Pluto are already in their “sleep mode,” and, at the end of this month, Jupiter will join the retrograde parade. Healer-feeler Chiron (in Aries) follows suit on July 19. Use this summer downshift to take a big step back and evaluate your plans from an objective viewpoint.

Don’t worry, Aries: Despite all of this, July is plenty eventful. A Capricorn full supermoon powers up your career zone on July 13. And once Leo season starts on July 22, your festive spirits come back with a vengeance for a full four weeks. The rare Uranus-north node meetup (the first since 2007) arrives on July 31 to end the month with a jolt of electricity. Replenish your reserves and save your battery power until the back half of the month. You’ll need it!

July 2022: Monthly Horoscope Overview

It might be summer, but July is no vacation. June gave us a much needed reprieve from the tumult of the last few years, but the astrology of July puts us right back in the ring for another round. That said, though there is a fair share of frustration and difficulty this month, there are also some dreamy and romantic moments to keep us going through the hard times.

Mars and Mercury both change signs on the 5th, setting things up to immediately feel very different than how they did last month. Mars leaves bold Aries for stubborn Taurus while Mercury leaves chatty Gemini to join the sun in sensitive Cancer. Under these influences, our communications become more nuanced and intuitive while our actions slow down. Mars in Taurus only puts energy into what’s absolutely necessary. Try not to push too hard against something unwilling to budge.
