July 2022 Horoscope: Capricorn

It’s relationship high season for you this month as the Sun travels through Cancer (until July 22) then Leo (from July 22 to August 22), heating up the most commitment-oriented parts of your chart. Take stock of your inner circle and think of the people who deserve top-tier status. Are you nurturing or neglecting those bonds? Get back into balance with your most important connections. If you’re hoping to upgrade a business alliance or romantic tie to a more official status, this is the month to do it.

But no need to rush if the timing doesn’t feel right just yet. Three of the slow-moving outer planets—Saturn, Neptune and Pluto—are retrograde (backward) all summer, sounding the call for a more mindful pace. On July 28, Jupiter will join the retrograde parade, downshifting in Aries and your domestic fourth house. Spend a little more time feathering your nest and tending to your family ties too. No need to fret about all these retrogrades, Sea Goat: The outer planets all spend four to five months every year in reverse.

One day that IS set for action is July 13, when the year’s only Capricorn full moon beams into your first house of self. With this potent supermoon putting the spotlight directly on you, it’s your moment to make your mark.

Another day that could bring some hype your way? The July 31 rare conjunction between the karmic north node and changemaker Uranus (with energizer Mars circling closely). As this dynamite duo connects in Taurus and your fifth house of fame, you could find yourself in the headlines fast. Remember, there IS such a thing as bad PR, so avoid any volatile situations that could attract the wrong kind of attention.

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.
