What Your July 2023 Horoscope Has In Store For Your Zodiac Sign, Per An Astrologer

Happy summer, Aries! The full moon in Capricorn on the 3rd highlights the balance between relaxation and hard work. While it can be so tempting to stay at home curled up with the latest Colleen Hoover book, you must put in hours at work to afford the luxuries you want this summer. There will be no fabulous Italian vacation if you don’t make the money to afford it, ya feel?

Venus, the planet of love, is bringing some spicy energy to your chart, so make sure you RSVP yes to all of those summer pool bashes and barbecues. New opportunities and connections abound! And when Venus goes retrograde on the 22nd, it will weed out any negative influences in your life...and clean up any energetic boundaries that need tending.

Finally, on the 17th, when the new moon in Cancer brings back that cozy, stay-at-home energy. This is a perfect time to invite the gang over for a sweet, restorative night in. Embrace where you’re at, avoid burnout, and enjoy the journey!

This month, the full moon is bringing to light your desire to learn more through study and, of course, adventure.

Whatever gets out of your head and into the larger world is recommended as you do some energetic cleansing.

Later, when the new moon in Cancer happens on the 17th, you’ll be ready to turn these musings into practical actions for your day-to-day life, particularly in the workplace.

This month starts off at a fast pace, Gem, so get ready! The full moon in Capricorn on the 3rd illuminates intimacy and your finances. If you’ve been struggling in either of these areas—maybe you’re reaching for the credit card a little too often or feeling stuck in expressing your emotions—it’s time to reassess. What’s blocking you from responsibly spending and, importantly, from sharing what's on your heart?

This will become clear as Mercury, which rules communication, and your sign of Gemini both enter Leo. Expect quick and important changes to your ideas about money, career, and even where you live.

This is an important time to clear space in your life that will add an extra boost of self-expression for your next turn around the sun.

That main character energy only intensifies with the new moon in your sign on the 17th, marking your personal new year. Break out the vision boards, and get clear on what you want for the next year of life. If you put it out there, it may just come true!
