Plant your feet on solid ground, Gemini. While Cancer season has the world feeling emo (through July 22), it’s one of your most practical and productive times of year. That’s because Cancer rules your second house of work, money and daily routines. Contrary to your sign’s reputation as breezy and scattered, you actually have a strong Type A side to your personality. For the first three weeks of the month, lean into it! You’ll get so much done and will feel pleasantly grounded—at least, until Leo season begins after that and changes the script.
Another reason to chill? There are three slow-moving outer planets retrograde (Saturn, Neptune and Pluto), meaning they’ve made their annual downshift. For the rest of the summer, you’ll do well to step back and evaluate some of your projects. Where are you putting your energy—and is that giving you a return on the investment?
Speaking of investments, the July 13 Capricorn full supermoon beams into your eighth house of wealth, intimacy and joint ventures, helping you see the truth about your closest people. When expansive Jupiter turns retrograde in your teamwork sector on July 28, you might bow out of a collaboration or take a scaled-down role for the rest of the year. You’re only one person—in body, anyway—and it’s fine to say no to things that don’t truly light you up! When changemaker Uranus and the north node make their ultra-rare connection on July 31, that lukewarm commitment might be swept away from you, whether you’re ready or not.
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.
