Cancer, Venus is on the move in the first part of the month, and your love life could bloom like a butterfly appreciating a summer garden. Venus perfects its aspects to Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus on July 2 and 11, which offer loving, stable, and exciting surprises. This is a great time to reignite those sparks, rekindle your love, or better still introduce a new, fun twist in your relationships. However, as the tides do, so too do your moods. On the 11th and 12th, Venus will oppose Pluto, bubbling up issues with the ex or resurrecting a few skeletons in the boudoir. You might be jealous or possessive. This will require clear, honest communication. And later in the month, near July 15, Mars conjunct Uranus encourages a streak of rebellion. Watch out for random acts which can disrupt your partnerships.
Turning your attention to close connections, the New Moon in Cancer on July 5 helps you care for your domestic bookend of life and solidify roots. Host an intimate family reunion, or start a deep, heart-to-heart conversation to strengthen these connections. The Sun trine Saturn on the 10th also aids this, grounding the day in a stable and grounded flow of energy to have any completion in discussions with loved ones. Mercury in Cancer trines Neptune on the 2nd, allowing you to feel inspired and guided by your creativity and intuition, reaching an all-time high in your professional and academic lives. This aspect helps you to solve problems easier, which would be a great time to brainstorm new ideas or start working on a project. However, watch out for July 3 and 21, when Mercury's harsh aspects cause misunderstandings. Review your emails and presentations and show patience with your colleagues.
Mercury in Cancer sextile Jupiter in Scorpio on July 8 creates an opportunity for your career. This alignment promotes teamwork, picking up a new skill, and a chance to shine. Get yourself out there and share your ideas, people! You never know who is listening! The New Moon on July 5 gets you to settle for something grounded and financially sustainable. Put your money in your pocket for surrounding months so that your future could be secure and keep your nest egg solid. To add some peace to our health and well-being, Mars sextile Neptune on July 20 brings a peaceful energy perfect for relaxation and self-care activities. Meditation or Yoga are good ways to develop this calm. But hold off till July 26 when Chiron retrogrades and old feelings might show up again. You may consider journaling or getting therapy to help heal and process the source of these issues.
From a personal growth and spiritual perspective, the month is rife with reasons for reflection. You get some support from Neptune and Saturn (both trine aspects) on July 2, 11, and 21 to explore and get intimate with your feelings and things are more harmonious here. Meditate, journal, blame or forgive - find that space to encapsulate your relationship and align with your heart. Sun sextile Uranus on July 18 lets you go of your own preconceptions and embrace a little change for the good. It is here to break old patterns and embrace new world views. There is no big travel happening this month yet the positive energy in the beginning of July (2nd and 8th), would be best for short travel around the city with your loved ones. They are some short interludes that help not to lose the excitement and the fun.
Regarding communication, you need to be extra careful on the third and twenty-first of July. Misunderstandings are likely due to tricky Mercury aspects — shoot for clarity and no assumptions.
