It’s horoscope time! Check out what’s in store for you this month by reading through the larger themes of these July 2024 horoscopes, then finding your specific sign below.

What does it mean to return to your roots? When called home, the most essential information is your address and, before and beyond this physical detail, an internal vision of your central destination. July beckons us back to where we began, even if that means beginning again with a more effective set of tools: clear sight, a better compass, and wisdom via experience, often hard-won.

On July 5th, a New Moon in Cancer invites us back to our original starting soil to sow seeds of security, family, and belonging, whether a literal fresh start in where and how we live or a chance to forge communication connections and reunite with family. Ultimately, this new moon’s comforting tone reminds us that home begins within. Once we establish a deep-set foundation, we can be anywhere, anytime, with anyone and feel unshakably grounded and centered in the knowledge that we, too, can come home. Or, at least, that’s the goal.

After July 11th, love and aesthetics tend toward the warm, fuzzy, and big-hearted as Venus performs in dramatic Leo. Things could get shaken up on July 15th when Mars and Uranus clash in Taurus, disturbing our complacency with a sudden yearning for drastic life changes. Sparks will fly, and exercising caution over primal impulse is critical. What seems thrilling now could easily lead to regrets later on.

Mars moves into intellectual Gemini on July 20th, directing our ambitions toward more heady, cerebral pursuits. This period favors multitasking and adeptly handling verbal challenges. Channel this energy into conversations that demand quick thinking. Words matter; what you might consider petty semantics can make all the difference.

The second Capricorn Full Moon of Summer occurs on July 21st, delivering a deja-vu review of all we have accomplished by putting accumulated knowledge into practice over the past 30 days. This is one of those rare moments when your reputation and public-facing perception accurately reflect your reality. Don’t take the haters to heart, but remain open to growth-oriented feedback. The time to change and evolve is life’s most precious gift not all are afforded.

Aries - Bless This Mess

March 21 – April 19

Exciting changes are coming home! On July 5th, a New Moon in Cancer pays a visit to the domestic sector of your chart, suggesting a move, an impactful set of home improvements, or a fresh start with family matters—all leading to happy times. Just be prepared for high expenses. Around July 15th, unexpected costs related to your income could crop up due to Mars and Uranus aligning. No worries, you've got this under control.

After all that, Mars moves into talkative Gemini on July 20th, blessing you with the confidence to speak up about anything and everything. Whether it’s making a big decision with your partner or negotiating a contract, you’ll have an advantage. Single and crushing? Now is not the time to hold back—take the initiative and make that first bold move.

Your career was in sharp focus late last month when a Capricorn Full Moon (June 21st) called a mid-year review to assess your growth. You may have composted some of your professional goals in favor of something more suited to your landscape and lifestyle. On July 21st, another Capricorn Full Moon returns to your career sector for a 30-day check-in on implementing those changes. Honestly, how are you doing?

Taurus - Passion Play

April 20 – May 20

July is all about finding your voice and using it. On July 5th, a Cancer New Moon enhances all forms of communication and exchange. Whether launching a marketing campaign, making an important decision, or negotiating a contract, this new moon will equip you for success.

Around July 15th, be wary of a tendency to sudden anger and hasty, regrettable mistakes. Mars joins Uranus in your sign, an impulsive, volatile alignment that brings intense passion, especially in intimate relationships. Redirecting this energy into your sex life can be a positive and fun way to channel it, reducing potential stress.

Last month, a Capricorn Full Moon (June 21st) inaugurated summer with an invitation to adventure and learning. A second Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21st extends the invitation to gather as much wisdom and spiritual insight as possible through experience. In this atmosphere, say yes!

Gemini - She’s Electric

May 21 – June 20

You’re an absolute powerhouse this month, Gemini! On July 5th, a New Moon in Cancer brings positive alignments, maximizing your potential for increased earnings. Any financial decisions you make during this time should bring you a sense of financial security and relief.

Feeling empowered is an understatement when Mars enters your sign on July 20th, readying you to conquer any challenge. Energy levels soar, boosting both your ambition and zest for life. With charisma and charm practically oozing from your pores, you’ll be incredibly magnetic, giving you a sharp, influential edge. Now is an ideal time to pursue significant goals—or romantic interests—you’ve been dreaming about. Everything in your sight seems to be within reach.

On July 21st, a Capricorn Full Moon suggests the conclusion of a significant financial situation that began exactly one month prior. This lunation doesn’t necessarily imply a negative phase, but it also doesn’t articulate ease and gentleness—think: Paying off a substantial debt or weathering tough negotiations to secure a return on investment.

Cancer - Too Blessed to Be Stressed

June 21 – July 22

July swings open into a golden era for you, Cancer. A powerful New Moon in your sign on July 5th breathes freshness into your social life, physical appearance, and personal identity. Whatever you focus on this month is showered with incredible opportunity and ease. You are genuinely too blessed to be stressed, but that doesn’t mean the fates won’t test you with drama. Around July 15th, impulsive and potentially reckless actions may sweep certain friendships, leaving you bewildered. It’s wise to avoid anyone in your circle who seems erratic.

Your energy naturally wanes after July 20th as your solar season comes to a close. Embrace this as a period of rest and rejuvenation essential to your well-being. A Capricorn Full Moon on July 21st harkens a sharp turning point in your close relationships. You and your partner may strengthen your bond, but it could follow a significant and emotionally charged moment of clarity.

Leo - Fireworks Season

July 23 – August 22

Don’t be fooled by the quieter pace of July’s beginning. Things are slated to become downright hectic this summer. But first, a Cancer New Moon on July 5th offers you a respite to charge your batteries for what’s sure to be a very busy month.

The action kicks off on July 15th, with Mars and Uranus provoking unsettling clashes at work. Still, avoid making hasty career decisions that you might regret later. Take the time to consider your options carefully. Meanwhile, your social life is fireworks as you juggle a packed calendar of events. Singles will have no problem mixing and mingling with new dating prospects this month.

Finally, a Capricorn Full Moon on July 21st reminds you of your vulnerability. Are you prioritizing your health and wellness? Stress is a killer, which may factor into a critical turning point in breaking free from unhealthy habits and environments.

Virgo - Flowing Clarity

August 23 – September 22

Playing the wallflower doesn’t suit you this month, Virgo. On July 5th, a New Moon in Cancer revives your social life, reminding you how likable and valuable you are as a friend. Stir the pot and say yes to social gatherings with new people. A fresh, vibrant community is at your fingertips.

Mars and Uranus clash on July 15th, potentially complicating tricky legal matters. Acting impulsively is not advised; approach any disputes with poise and consideration. If you’ve been entertaining the thought of starting a business, aiming for a promotion, or managing multiple career paths, the days after July 20th are prime for taking decisive action.

A Capricorn Full Moon on July 21st brings searing clarity to your love life, which could go either way. Either you’ll realize that your partner can’t meet your needs, or you’ll feel exceptionally satisfied with your situation. The end of the month is an ideal inroad for identifying changes that need to be made in your relationships and achieving closure.

Libra - The Great Escape

September 23 – October 22

Your career is a shining star in your life’s constellation! A Cancer New Moon on July 5th promises exciting opportunities for professional growth, an ideal time to pursue a promotion or raise. Any profitability you reap early on will be a welcome cushion for an unexpected expense or financial loss around July 15th. Money stress may spark arguments with your partner, potentially causing strife in your relationship mid-month. Tension with your nearest and dearest may push you to focus on academic or spiritual interests. However, escapism from domestic matters will be hard to come by during an emotionally charged Capricorn Full Moon on July 21st.

Scorpio - Cautionary Tales

October 23 – November 21

Your appetite for learning blazes brightly early in the month, with a Cancer New Moon on July 5th connecting you profoundly to whatever subject you’re immersed in. Love becomes rather turbulent around July 15th. Your partner might act out unexpectedly, causing you some shock. If things are already strained between you and yours, this period could lead to a breakup. Unexpected debts could ambush you around July 20th. It’s an excellent time to exercise financial caution and tighten your purse strings. On July 21st, a Capricorn Full Moon could bring closure to a contract or legal agreement. Again, approach this situation with caution and restraint.

Sagittarius - Thrills & Chills

November 22 – December 21

There’s a reason why Sagittarius is known as the luckiest sign, and this month, you’ll find out why. July grants you lithe opportunities to make savvy investments significantly boosting your savings simply by being in the right place at the right time. On July 5th, a particularly auspicious Cancer New Moon gives you a solid foothold in understanding a clear financial strategy that could set you up for retirement and secure future generations.

Ensure your first-aid kit is well-equipped around July 15th, when a dicey Mars-Uranus showdown casts an unpredictable and potentially dangerous stage. You might witness a colleague’s emotional outburst causing serious scrabbles at work. A wave of intensity hits your love life on July 20th, inspiring more passion in your relationships. Though thrilling, you may sometimes feel overwhelmed if you struggle to match your partner’s energy and pace.

Pisces - Karmic Connections

February 19 – March 20

Love blooms in July, beginning with July 5th, when a stunning New Moon in sister water sign, Cancer, delivers a fantastic chance to meet someone you could fall deeply in love with. This person might feel like a long-lost connection as if you’ve known each other forever. You’ll likely feel a karmic sense of familiarity and comfort, allowing you to embrace the relationship with profound safety. If you’re already in a relationship, you and your partner might contemplate expanding your family or dedicating more quality time together.

Communication gets chaotic around July 15th, so be cautious with your words. Instead of blurting impulsively, think carefully before speaking—or you may be eating your words with a side of regret. Domestic matters are equally hectic mid-month, which might indicate a move or home renovation project that’s messy, noisy, and more than a little bit stressful. As long as you are emotionally connected to the visionary outcome of your goal, the means will indeed justify the beautiful ends. You’ll need a soft, secure home base to crash during the storm of social drama the Capricorn Full Moon is bound to kick up on July 21st. Be there for your friends, but don’t neglect your wellness as the top priority.
