What the Zodiac Has in Store This Month: Your July 2018 Horoscope

Aries: March 21 – April 19

The month ahead steers your interests toward your wider community, Aries. 

With your ruling planet, Mars, heating up social activities, business connections, company ties and your friendship circle, it’s time to hone your networking skills. At the same time, your personal talents or passions are to be enjoyed too.

You could be required to expertly balance pleasure-seeking — and your star qualities — within a group setting; July 27 brings this theme sharply into focus, potentially with a side helping of drama. 

Be mindful of the way you express yourself around the 5th, when sensitivity’s called for in conversation. Your intuition is strong this month, so listen to your inner voice, recharging in soothing spaces at will, particularly the 12th. It’ll be easier to tend to the practicalities in private.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

Emotional ties are strong entering July, Taurus, with opportunities to settle into home life and connect with kindred spirits that support and delight you. The weeks ahead are geared toward balancing your inner and outer world, with some major shifts around your public image and domestic setting. 

From the 10th, you enter a passionate, energizing cycle, which makes it even easier to enjoy the company of others — near and far. Enthusiasm and social awareness are high, while special partnerships benefit from your friendly approach. 

You may be reflective or nostalgic about close connections between July 11 and 13, a wonderful time to cement important relationships — regardless of what may be on the horizon. Make space for ongoing change. Clarity is delivered around familial and career matters between July 25 and 27.

Gemini: May 21 – June 21

July emphasizes connection — your capacity to communicate effectively and your ability to learn and develop your skills; practice among those closest, Gemini. It’s likely you’re progressing in your local environment, while notions of venturing more broadly have yet to settle in. There’s potential for stalled travel plans or never-ending trips back and forth, as two areas of life — your usual neighborhood vs. life further afield — continue to oscillate throughout summer. July 25 to 27 spotlights your journey. 

Work sparkles with potential now, as the stars align around your job role and the position that's keeping you busy. There’s a fresh start for your income and earnings between the 11th and 13th; however, you may be faced with some intense resistance. By the 28th, you’ll feel settled, grounded in reality.

Cancer: June 22 – July 22

Embrace a fresh start in your personal affairs between July 11 and 13, Cancer, despite potential opposition from partners. Your enthusiasm for passion projects, creative ventures, hobbies or interests will stabilize and grow in July, so keep the faith and your sense of resolve. Social connection improves from the 10th and a kindred spirit could prove helpful on the 28th.

There are certain elements of your private life that are undergoing reconstruction, and you could feel unsettled about finances or your income throughout July. Note you’ll revisit exchanges played out in the weeks ahead; nothing’s likely to be finalized in July. Your position is sharply in focus on the 25th, while Friday the 27th emphasizes joint efforts and your most intimate partnerships; anticipate an increased awareness of the need to share the load. 

Leo: July 23 – Aug. 22

It’s a time of reflection and introspection as you continue to work on important transitions on your own terms, Leo. You’ll be in a far better space in your private life and on the domestic front by the end of the month. In the meantime, dig deep — particularly between July 11 and 13. Get some rest and recharge on these days and have confidence in the work you’ve accomplished.

The sun enters your sign late on the 22nd, drawing you into the spotlight; by the 25th, there’s a particularly dazzling emphasis on your physicality and presence. This is a notable day for clarity of your strength and personal capabilities and the impression you make, Leo. The focus quickly turns toward others; on the 27th, an important relationship demands your attention.

Virgo: Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

July presents opportunities to take a step back and cool the flame, Virgo. You might feel extra busy, with work tasks alerting you to a busy agenda. However, the stars sparkle in your closure and transition zone, delivering a prime moment to exhale. This is likely to be an ongoing process, so take your time and enjoy yourself with others as you dive into your inner world.

Community dealings — and your ability to connect — seamlessly synchronizes on the 3rd, 4th and 8th, with fresh starts within your network between the 11th and 13th. You’ll be more inclined to welcome friendship and favorable glances from the 10th, when your close ties and ability to relate improves too.

The 27th allows you to see your job and the tasks ahead with open eyes.

Libra: Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Enjoy your company, community or the social scene that’s warmly embracing you now, Libra. The weeks ahead elevate you further into a position of influence, allowing you to steer the ship, confidently stepping up in your role. Think about your long-term goals between the 11th and 13th, when you can set your sights higher. 

Progress in your personal passions might feel stilted as you tend to the needs of your network. However, you can shine a light on your own interests and creative self-expression on the 27th. From July 10th, you’ll be more inclined to focus inward; trust that the group dynamic will settle over time and honor your desire to take a step back. You might find you’re navigating peers throughout August, revisiting conversations in weeks ahead, so chill.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Adventure is presented in July, with opportunities to enjoy yourself in a familiar comfort zone — and yet stretch yourself further. There’s the potential to learn something new, to travel, to have a glorious romance or all of the above. Be inspired, and focus on your vision for a particular journey, quest or project around July 12. You’ll then see personal plans gain momentum once again, Scorpio.

Note there’s tension between your inner and outer world throughout the month ahead. Home life and your public persona compete for space, with ongoing domestic, family or property issues demanding attention. Momentum builds around this emotional matter toward the 27th. You’ll need ultimate patience, truly settling the matter as late as November. With strong bonds among friends and allies, rely upon your closest connections for support.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 – Dec 21

Get ready for a surge of momentum, Sagittarius, as lucky Jupiter promises to kick-start your motor after a four-month lull in your dreamy transition zone. You can breathe life into plans now incubating, shifting into gear with focus at your fingertips. It’s a good month to get your house in order, to claim a fresh start in finances, property ideals and strong bonds — drill down your intentions between the 10th and 13th. You can be realistic and practical while making power moves. 

Broader horizons beckon this month, and you’re especially fit for a hero’s quest from the 23rd. Focus is divided between local environments and ventures that call from further afield; note the 25th to the 27th creates excitement around these glittering opportunities. Move steadily toward the sunset, Sagittarius!

Capricorn: Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Partnerships and your place among the wider community continue to strengthen, as your ability to relate is in focus now, Capricorn. It’s likely you’re ready to take your affections more seriously, as intimacy is written in the stars. There’s emphasis on deepening close bonds, so steer important relationships onto solid ground. Reset the agenda in one-to-ones between July 11 and 13.

Know that discussions had in weeks ahead will likely need to be revisited, particularly in the matters of property, assets, contractual agreements, investments or generally private conversations. Your financial position or income could be an area that’s causing you angst, yet you’re afforded awareness of your position between the 25th and 27th. The 28th supports your personal journey; look forward to refining your perspective and philosophies from the 10th as an adventurous outlook breezes in.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

July emphasizes work life, Aquarius, and while professional, financial and practical pursuits are brilliantly — and consistently — lit by the stars, another theme is unfolding in the background. Your energy levels or ability to drive ahead in life is considerably hampered in weeks ahead — you need to take it easy. Rest and revisit pressing personal issues. 

You could be feeling a little pent-up, so give yourself maximum room to maneuver, and go a little slower than usual. Relationships will deliver plenty to mull over, and from the 10th, important partnerships can experience deepened levels of trust. You could begin to feel more secure in your space with a hand to hold through your processing. Tension builds around the 25th, but by the 27th, you’ve got more clarity about your circumstances.

Pisces: Feb. 19 – Mar. 20

You’re primed to see personal plans elevated, with momentum for passion projects and an unquenchable enthusiasm for ventures now in motion. Note July 3 to 5 and July 8 bring you into alignment. 

Energy could seem to be running low, yet your intuition and creativity’s strong. Life is presenting you with plenty to keep you busy, so stay on the ball as much as possible. It might prove to be a juggling act, so turn toward teamwork and rely on the helpful hands around you to lighten your load. Certain individuals could prove an invaluable bridge on July 28.

Honor both broader community or company interests as well as your solo talents between the 11th and 13th — strike a fine balance, Pisces. Take the 27th as a personal day just for you.
