JULY 2021 HOROSCOPE
Astrology by JUAN MARCO TORRES
Having just come out of an intense set of eclipses last month, we begin July in a bit of a whirlwind as we try to make sense of the massive changes and decision-making currently going on. Mercury continues recovering his retrograde shadow, eventually coming into a clash with watery Neptune and marking a peak in the breakage of illusions in our lives. Much continues to be revealed. The key to navigating this month is to stand in our own space, choosing nurturing action that aligns with what we passionately envision for our own selves.
ARIES
Home and family matters come into focus this month, so finding your sense of comfort and wellbeing will be crucial. While there might be some tension regarding finances and the need to network and socialize, the New Moon in Cancer on the 9th can provide you with the balance you need between your work and home life to get this back on track. Your asservetiness only gets stronger this month with Venus and Mars joining in a creative and romantic part of your chart. This makes the next few weeks the ideal time to dive into that new art project or that hot summer affair. The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 23rd illuminates how you can elevate your quest for allies by thinking outside the box.
TAURUS
July offers slight relief from the chaos that’s fired up in your life between fulfilling what may feel like restrictive work-home responsibilities and your need for personal freedom. The Sun travelling through Cancer this month brings friendships to the focus, quickly filling your social calendar and encouraging you to go out and network. The New Moon in Cancer on the 9th offers a clean slate in terms of communicating with those in your immediate surroundings. With Mars in an emotional sector of your chart, the best thing to do is to restructure your communication skills by taking the time to listen and digest the information before going into any form of debate.
GEMINI
This past set of eclipses brought massive shifts to your relationships, providing you with important revelations and clear insight of where those truly stand moving forward. A New Moon in Cancer on the 9th offers a fresh financial start, giving you a glimpse into how best to use your new resources at hand. The timing could not be better, as Venus and Mars join in an exciting part of your chart and bring fated connections and messages to the table. A Full Moon in Aquarius on the 23rd brings to light exciting new opportunities for expansion. Pay attention as these might be the catalyst to the self-undoing you have been searching for.
CANCER
Having not only Venus but also Mars travelling through the financial sector of your chart right at the beginning of your new solar year brings luck and heightened assertiveness in money matters. A lovely New Moon in your sign on the 9th brings all partnerships to the forefront, encouraging you to pluck out the weeds and question which ones are truly worth your energy and time. While tensions might be running high at the beginning of the month, the second half brings a sigh of relief disguised as a prime opportunity for self-expansion by diving into uncharted territories. The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 23rd illuminates all that needs a closer look and transformation in your life, as well as giving you a renowned sense of financial direction.
LEO
The last days of your last solar year are always a bit introspective, giving you a chance to look back into how much has changed (including yourself) during the past year. Mars is already plowing the field in Leo, with Venus joining him mid-July into what promises to be an auspicious opening of fated events and opportunities. While there still might be some tension regarding your unexpected career changes and the need to fulfill compromises with others, you must look at what it is that you truly desire for your own sovereign self moving forward. The New Moon in Cancer on the 9th could not come at a better time, giving you a chance for one final review and letting go before going full blast into your season.

Getting together with those who share the same passions as you will give the motivation you need going forward.
