How to Celebrate the Cancer in Your Life + Horoscopes for Every Sign
Written By Laura Cowan | @6th.house.astro
Cancer season will take us from detached, breezy Gemini and have us feeling moody and introspective. Cancer is a water sign and is ruled by the moon, our emotional identity, so expect someone with this sun and/or rising sign to be sensitive, sentimental, and highly intuitive. Cancers are represented by the crab, so think tough on the outside, big softies on the inside. It can take some time to get past their protective shell, but once you do, you have a loyal and nurturing friend for life. Cancers enjoy taking care of their loved ones, but need to be reminded to refill their own cup, too. Again, they are sensitive, so rub them the wrong way emotionally and they can become resentful. Cancer can be spiteful, and sometimes, that protective energy becomes possessive. However, they just need reassurance that their feelings are respected. Once a Cancer feels emotionally safe around you, they will treat you like family. This is a big deal because family is important to them. They will always have a soft spot for you, even if you end your relationship. Cancers are quite nostalgic and can cling to the past! If you need a comforting ear to listen to you and a “mom friend” to nurture you when you feel down, look no further than your Cancer friend. Let them take care of you when you need that extra support.
Help celebrate the Cancer in your life by appealing to the nostalgia-loving side of their personality. Cancer’s love of the past typically means they have quite the vintage collection, so a gift from that category never hurts. Or, take them on a shopping trip and let them pick out vintage lingerie or t-shirts that call to them. If you have a relative that’s a Cancer, odds are, they’re the family member that is hellbent on collecting all of the treasured heirlooms. If you’re not trying to keep your grandma’s old ring, why not give it to them for their birthday this year? Cancer is associated with home, so don’t be surprised if your moody pal just wants a small get together at home with friends. A cozy night in with movies, snacks, and a few people closest to them is more of their vibe. Cancer rules the stomach, so a home cooked meal or food from their favorite restaurant will go over well with them. Especially if it’s a recipe their mom made for them growing up. They also enjoy having something to nurture, so a plant for them to care for or a toy for their pet never hurts. If Cancers don’t have children of their own, they typically have plants and/or a pet or two. Since they are a water sign, they feel recharged being around their element. A trip to the beach or floating the river is also a great way to get them out of the house. Still unsure of what to get them? Remember, your Cancer friend errs on the sentimental side, so anything that is special to your friendship is something they’ll appreciate forever.
Cancer Season Horoscopes
Cancer season began on June 21 with the summer solstice, aka the longest day of the year. On June 28, Mars entered Gemini, picking up the pace from slower-moving Taurus. We may finally begin to see some forward momentum with our goals, motivations, and desires — especially if they are mercurial in nature. The Capricorn full moon stationed exact on June 29 at 6:56 PM CST, and Mercury in Cancer stationed retrograde earlier that day. Releasing the ideas that no longer emotionally resonate with us is important, especially because Mercury’s influence will make bridging our rational mind with our emotions more difficult. If it is holding you back from achieving your goals, it’s time to let it go. Jupiter entered Leo on June 30, shifting our expansion focus towards self-expression and creativity.
On July 4, Mars in Gemini will meet up with Uranus in Gemini, so clashes with authority that have fostered resentment may finally boil over. People will feel restless, and tempers may suddenly flare out of nowhere. With Mercury being retrograde in sensitive Cancer, there may be some hurt feelings. Be mindful of what you say and how you say it, and try to avoid reckless decision-making in the name of freedom. The Cancer sun will square Saturn in Aries on July 6, creating tension between the way we emotionally express ourselves and boundaries and limitations we’re facing around leadership and taking action. You may struggle with asserting your personal authority without losing your softer side in the process. The desire to retreat to your safe space is tempting, but more pressing matters are what you have to contend with at this time.
Venus enters Virgo on July 9, lending a more analytical perspective to relationships, money, and aesthetics. On July 12, Mercury retrograde will meet up with the Sun and form that brief cazimi at around 8:25 PM, providing a brief window of clarity around how we actually feel about something. The Cancer new moon stations exact on July 14 at 4:43 AM CST, creating opportunities for new beginnings around nurturing ourselves and honoring our emotions. Mercury retrograde will still be lingering nearby, so what happens with this lunation may shift when Mercury stations direct later this month. Honor your changing feelings the way the moon honors the movement of the tides.
On July 20, a highly anticipated astrological event known as the Barbault Basket is set to occur. All of the outer planets except Saturn will all be aspecting each other at 4 degrees. Basically, Jupiter will oppose Pluto and trine Neptune, Uranus will trine Pluto, and there will be sextiles between the four planets. These aspects cause the appearance of a basket formation between these outer planets. Famed French astrologer André Barbault predicted that this particular configuration of planets will usher in a major turning point for society. Power struggles and resource upheaval may be in store globally, but how it shows up in your chart for you personally may differ. Interestingly enough, four degrees is considered a Cancer degree, so emotions may be running high at this time. Try paying less attention to what’s being said and giving more attention to how it’s being said and what actions are occurring, as that will be more revealing than words. The sun then enters Leo on July 22, ending Cancer season for this year. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to get notified for your Leo season horoscope!

Cancer: Happy birthday, Cancer! On June 28, Mars entered Gemini, shifting most of your energy to behind-the-scenes work. Your strategy and actions may be more on the quiet side now, but it gives you ample time to explore hidden passions. The Capricorn full moon on June 29 activated self versus partnerships, while Mercury stationed retrograde on the same day in your sign. Tensions may have risen in how you want to communicate versus what will placate a friend, lover, or business partner. Sometimes, you have to prioritize your own feelings, especially if the other person hasn’t been mindful of yours as of late. Jupiter entered Leo the next day, expanding your need for self-worth, along with the need to get your personal finances in order. It’s a good time to find something that honors your talents and skills, as this could have a big payoff later on.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may suddenly bring your hidden desires front and center. You may find yourself acting impulsively without understanding why, so try to avoid making any major life decisions. Especially since Mercury is still retrograde in your sign. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may have your desire for personal freedom clashing with the weight of responsibility and authority you’re currently carrying. As much as you may want to escape, it’s going to be important that you follow through on your commitments. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, shifting the focus of your relationships to siblings or neighbors, with Venusian themes taking a more practical focus. The Mercury cazimi on July 12 will provide you with a brief moment of clarity on how you can improve your communication skills.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 offers you a fresh start on how you view your place in the world. If you’ve been wanting to change up your look or how you take care of yourself, this is the lunation to plant those seeds before the Venus retrograde later this fall. Mercury stationing direct may shift this process, so honoring your feelings in the moment is the best way to navigate changes. The Barbault Basket on July 20 will highlight the desire to expand your resources while uncovering some harsh truths about shared resources and/or money owed. There may be some power struggles around funds and possessions, but it’s important to remind yourself that both your ambitions and subconscious ideas could hold the solution you’re seeking.
Leo: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, Leo, shifting your motivation towards your future visions. This transit is a good time to begin networking to find the right community that can support your goals. Conversely, if tension has been building within any friendships or group dynamics, Mars’s movement through this house will highlight any conflict in this area. The Capricorn full moon on July 29 likely highlighted your physical health, workplace, and/or daily routines, causing you to ask whether or not something in your life is helpful or harmful. Mercury stationed retrograde the same day, which will only further focus your attention on the need for solitude and to mentally retreat. Though Jupiter entered your sign the following day, Mercury retrograde is hanging out in a quiet part of your chart. You are therefore likely in for another lowkey Cancer season. The focus is on self-care and learning how to communicate your innermost emotional needs. Don’t worry, the excitement picks back up again during your birthday season when the south node also enters your sign later this summer.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may bring the urge to break free from any communities or friend groups that feel restrictive. If your friend circle is small or you’re not active in a large community, then perhaps you’ll notice a sudden shift in your long-term future plans. Keep an open mind, especially as the Sun-Saturn square stations exact a couple of days later on July 6. There may be some tension around your subconscious thoughts and how your opinions and beliefs sound when shared with others. You may notice how self-limiting certain beliefs of yours are when you say them out loud. Ask yourself if those beliefs are worth holding on to. Venus entering Virgo on July 9 will have you analyze your relationship to money, skills, and self-worth. The Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 may provide a brief window of clarity on navigating your healing journey or boundaries with others.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 will continue to activate your subconscious mind. Pay attention to any dreams that stand out to you or any visions you may experience if you meditate. This is an excellent lunation for rest and reflection. Honor your need for inner peace and don’t be afraid to put your phone on Do Not Disturb. The Barbault Basket on July 20 will have you wanting to expand your personal mission after uncovering a secret or two that a friend, lover, or business partner could be hiding from you. If the information revealed to you compromises your beliefs or long-term vision for your future, and the two things you should be relying on to navigate this, then it may be time for you to make a clean break while you can.
Virgo: As Mars entered Gemini on June 28, you may have noticed the desire for public recognition fueling your ambition, Virgo. Not one to be flashy, you’re more than likely craving recognition in the form of delegated authority or given a nod that a freshly implemented protocol was your invention. You will have more energy to focus on the legacy you want to achieve, so take advantage of this transit. The Capricorn full moon stationed exact on June 29, but so did Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Hopefully you used this lunation to stop worrying so much about what your friends and community think about your creative process and how you choose to express yourself. There will be a clash of ideas in your groups with this retrograde, or perhaps some changes in your future hopes and dreams. Keep an open mind and pay attention to your feelings. Jupiter entered Leo the next day, expanding your spiritual side and the need to retreat to mentally process.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may have you uncharacteristically rebelling against authority, or making sudden moves that impact your reputation. Try to refrain from taking actions that are too drastic, especially since Mercury, your ruling planet, is still retrograde until the end of July. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may bring a clash between an intimate connection of yours and your friend group or another community you’re a part of, so try to keep yourself out of the equation as you navigate whatever conflict arises. It’s possible that instead, you may also be dealing with a shared resource, money owed, or some type of debt causing tension toward a goal you’re pursuing. Applying your renowned patience and problem-solving skills will serve you better than getting stressed or anxious. Venus entering your sign on July 9 will give you a boost in confidence, so treat yourself, go shopping, and indulge a little. The Mercury cazimi on the night of July 12 will give you a brief window of clarity on how to navigate that group or future aspiration tension from the Sun-Saturn square.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 gives you an opportunity for a fresh start with your goals or your community. Pay attention to what thoughts bubble up with the Mercury cazimi, as this could be the catalyst for a new beginning. However, be prepared for ideas to change, or even for you to double back on something since Mercury is still retrograde. The Barbault Basket on July 20 will have you wanting to expand your rest and alone time to mind your mental health. If you discover news about your physical health or need to re-organize your daily routine, incorporate your wellness concerns. Authority figures and beneficial connections that have shared resources with you before may be of some assistance to you at this time, so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for advice and support.
Libra: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, Libra, which may have you getting involved in more debates that turn into arguments. You may feel more motivated to fight for your beliefs and opinions now, but think before you say something that your conflict-avoidant self can’t take back. Mercury stationed retrograde the next day with the Capricorn full moon on June 29. This lunation may have seen something culminating in your home, family, or private life. Perhaps you’re moving or re-decorating your place, or having an important conversation with a family member. With Mercury retrograde, watch for conversations or ideas about your legacy, reputation, or career to circle back. Trust your gut feelings. Jupiter enters Leo on June 30, expanding your network and social circle.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may see a sudden clash or disagreement around beliefs. Again, try to watch what you say, as Mercury retrograde could cause an impact on your reputation, or even your career. Sometimes, we just have to bite our tongue, let it go in the moment, and blow off steam about it later. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may create tension between your work partnerships and your professional goals, so maintaining a level head and using your famous charm can help you smooth things over. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, prompting analysis on self-worth and whether or not you have healthy boundaries with others. The Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 may provide a window of clarity around how to navigate certain professional roadblocks.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 gives you a chance to incorporate any potential clarity from the Mercury cazimi into new foundations for success. If you’re wanting to pave the road towards your ultimate goal, maintain an open mind, as Mercury retrograde may have you changing yours more than once. The Barbault Basket on July 20 will have you expanding your social world, yet you may gain a deeper understanding of the power and control around individual creativity and self-expression within group dynamics. Your personal beliefs and close one-on-one partnerships will help remind you of who you are and to remain true to yourself.
Scorpio: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, Scorpio, prompting you to finally research and tackle any outstanding debt, investments, or issues with shared accounts. If life feels stressful lately and it’s making you fearful or paranoid, now is a good time to cut ties with bad habits or unhelpful thoughts that may be perpetuating these feelings. The Capricorn full moon stations exact on June 29, as does Mercury retrograde in Cancer. The way you present your knowledge and expertise may clash with where you feel your experience level actually is. This is an opportunity to refine your communication skills and deal with imposter syndrome around being a teacher or guide. Jupiter enters Leo the following day, expanding your opportunities for greater professional success if you put yourself out there.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may bring you unexpected expenses, secrets suddenly revealed, or even a psychological test of any limiting emotional patterns that no longer serve you. Start coming up with a plan on how to navigate whatever it is that pops up. The sun-Saturn square on July 6 may bring tension around your personal desire to escape versus grueling personal responsibilities in your work or daily life. As much as you don’t want to, it is important to tackle what you find boring and to plot your eventual escape (aka vacation) later. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, bringing your relationship focus on your groups and community. Perhaps a longtime flirtation with a friend evolves into something more. The Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 may provide a moment of clarity around your belief system.
The Cancer new moon arrives on July 14, making this a great time to align your core beliefs with what feels the safest and most nurturing to you. If you’ve been wanting to explore your spirituality, trust your gut and gravitate towards what resonates the most. The Barbault Basket on July 20 may have you throwing yourself into your work and goals if you’ve uncovered some deeply-buried secrets about home and family that you found particularly surprising or upsetting. Lean on your most intimate connections and your workplace environment for support. Use what you’re feeling as fuel for an exercise routine that helps you through this rough patch. There may even be an inheritance involved.
Sagittarius: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, Sagittarius, shifting your focus and drive around partnerships and collaborations. You may find yourself wanting more intellectual stimulation in your connections, and may find yourself debating others more than usual. The Capricorn full moon on June 29 activated your personal finance sector, prompting you to release any limiting self-worth or financial beliefs. However, Mercury in Cancer also stationed retrograde, so debts and psychological wounds around shared resources will come up for review this summer. Expect these feelings to ebb and flow, and keep an open mind as you learn more information. Jupiter entered Leo the next day, so if you’ve felt cooped up lately, this will be a great time to expand your wanderlust and make a vacation plan for later.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may have you experiencing explosive arguments or sudden shifts in dynamics with your closest partnerships. If you can be the bigger person and avoid a foot-in-mouth moment, this will serve you more than being a little too honest. The sun-Saturn square on July 6 may present a challenge between your creativity and financial or psychological setbacks you’re experiencing. Perhaps there are intimacy roadblocks with someone you’re currently dating. Maintaining your famous optimism and not pushing for immediate answers will help you navigate this tension. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, placing emphasis on the relationships that can help you elevate your professional goals or reputation. The Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 provides brief clarity around intimacy frustrations or shared resources.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 offers psychological breakthroughs around your intimacy and sharing issues, especially if the cazimi did indeed provide a window of needed clarity. Release subconscious fears that hold you back from progressing. The Barbault Basket on July 20 will have you wanting to expand your worldview and your own beliefs as you uncover power struggles within your local neighborhood or immediate environment. Your unique creativity, your contacts, and collaborations with others will encourage you to broaden your horizons and believe in your ability to mentor others.
Capricorn: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, and your motivation to get your physical health and workplace routines in order has cranked up, Capricorn. You may be creating more intellectual stimulation in your daily life, so try adding something to your routine that honors this need. The full moon in your sign on June 29 occurred the same day Mercury stationed retrograde in Cancer. How you balance your personal and professional needs and whether or not you and your partner(s) are properly communicating were highlighted during this time. In fact, your partnerships will be front and center for a good chunk of Cancer season. You may also deal with people and conversations from your past returning throughout the summer, but it’s up to you to decide whether or not you want to welcome that energy back in your life. Jupiter entered Leo the following day — intimacy, shared resources, and psychological breakthroughs will get expanded on.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may bring a sudden change to your health and routine, or find you rebelling against your workload. Try not to stress yourself out too much about whatever comes up or shrug off all your responsibilities. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may bring tensions between your private life and your partnerships. Your need to focus on home, family, or other personal matters may be clashing with demands from a romantic partner, close friend, and/or a business associate. Now is an important moment for you to set some firm boundaries within your partnerships. However, if your partnerships are not respecting these boundaries (or any you’ve set previously), it may be time to part ways for good. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, causing you to analyze whether or not you and your partnerships are on the same moral page, while the Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 may bring a moment of clarity around navigating your partnership dynamics.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 offers a chance for a fresh start in your partnerships. If your window of clarity during the Mercury cazimi was cutting ties with a partnership, then this new moon may err more on the side of deciding what you tolerate in friendships, love, and business partnerships moving forward. The Barbault Basket on Jul 20 will have you wanting to take risks with an investment, but your need to have control over your personal finances may prevent you from making a big move. Let changing up your home and your workplace motivate you to take a financial risk — there will be a big reward, so why not go for it?
Aquarius: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, Aquarius, giving you creative fuel and the desire for fun. If you’ve thought about dating, you may feel more motivated to put yourself out there at this time. The Capricorn full moon stationed exact on June 29, along with Mercury retrograde, so you may have been feeling more withdrawn. Especially if you received some news recently about your workplace or your physical health. Hopefully you took this lunation to rest, as Mercury retrograde will continue to cause you to review your routine, work, and health habits. Jupiter entered Leo the following day, presenting you with an opportunity to expand your partnerships and collaborations. Pay attention to who you meet, but try to refrain from signing any contracts until after Mercury stations direct at the end of July.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may bring a sudden disruption to your creative flow. You may experience a beneficial flash of insight that re-motivates you. Try to hold off on making impulsive decisions in the name of hedonism. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may highlight a tense work communication situation, or there may be friction between wanting to be direct in communication while remaining sensitive to others. This is an opportunity to learn how to move past that and assert yourself. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, causing you to analyze your relationship to sharing, money owed, and how your self-worth factors into your fears. The Mercury cazimi on the night of July 12 provides you a brief moment of clarity on how to navigate a health or workplace situation.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 gives you the opportunity for a fresh start in your daily routine, health habits, and your job. If you’ve been looking for new work, to gain more clients, or figure out an ideal workplace environment, this new moon may help you figure out what is best for you. It’s possible you gain more insight into a better diet and/or exercise routine that works for you and any current health issues you may be facing. The Barbault Basket on July 20 will have you fighting between expanding partnerships and collaborations versus embracing your own personal power. You may have felt like you are losing your independence, and may be fighting with yourself to regain control. Remember, you are uniquely creative, have a sharp intellect, and dynamic ideas. This is something no one else can take from you.
Pisces: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, motivating you to make some serious changes in your home, Pisces. Perhaps you’re finally re-arranging or re-decorating, moving, or even taking charge of a dynamic with a certain family member. The Capricorn full moon on June 29 may have had you finally sharing a project you’ve been working on with your friends. However, Mercury also stationed retrograde the same day, which may throw some wrenches in your creative process until the end of July. You may find yourself circling back to another project you put off in the past. Keep an open mind and trust your feelings about what ideas come to you. Jupiter entered Leo the next day, so you may want to grow and cultivate better health and wellness routines that fuel you rather than drain you.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may intensify a family issue or conflict that has been brewing. The temptation to lose your cool is there, so avoid making rash decisions or saying something that you can’t take back in the heat of the moment. The Sun-Saturn square may create more tension between your creative process and your self-worth, or feeling like your bank account is stretched trying to finance a hobby. Use said creativity to come up with a budget, and remind yourself that, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, causing you to analyze your partnerships and collaborations. If you’ve been thinking about taking it to the next level with someone you’ve been seeing, remember, Mercury is retrograde in your dating sector, so there may be some back and forth in this area for a while. The Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 provides a brief moment of clarity into your creative process.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 gives you the opportunity for starting a creative project, finding your joy, and/or going on dates. Take this new moon to ask yourself — what sparks joy? Get “Marie Kondo” with it, and dispose of anything that does not do this for you. The Barbault Basket on July 20 has you wanting to expand your confidence in your work and health, especially if you’ve uncovered buried secrets or are dealing with a lack of personal control. Perhaps you’re finally understanding the impact that physical and mental health have on each other. Adapting your home and finances to your current needs in these areas will greatly benefit you.
Aries: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, Aries, prompting you to take charge of your learning process, communication, and local neighborhood concerns. If you have any siblings, you may be experiencing more arguments with them than usual. The Capricorn full moon on June 29 may have brought something in your legacy or career to culmination. You may have received recognition for an achievement. However, with Mercury also stationing retrograde that day, watch for your private life potentially interfering with your professional life. You may find yourself circling back to previous conversations with family members, or re-living sentimental memories from your past. Jupiter entered Leo the following day, expanding your need for self-expression, joy, and creativity.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 brings a communication issue, neighborhood issue, or conflict with a sibling to a boiling point. Watch for explosive tempers and saying something you can’t take back. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may cause tension between yourself and your home, especially if any family or household members have been violating any personal boundaries of yours. Stay true to yourself, and don’t let someone else guilt you into compromising. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, causing you to analyze your workplace relationships and whether or not you’re being of service in a way that resonates with you. The Mercury cazimi on the night of July 12 will provide you with a moment of clarity about your home and family situation.
The Cancer new moon offers a fresh start in your home and family. If you’re wanting to move homes or change a family dynamic, this lunation offers you the opportunity to figure out how to start this process. This is also good for retreating to your private sanctuary for self-care. The Barbault Basket on July 20 has you throwing yourself into your creative projects or what generally brings you joy, if you discover a secret your friends are keeping from you. Perhaps power dynamics in a group setting are getting tiring. Rely on standing on your own and using your intellect to stay true to yourself, and don’t compromise who you are for the sake of fitting in with others.
Taurus: Mars entered Gemini on June 28, motivating you to get your personal finances and relationship to your self-worth in order, Taurus. If it compromises your values, then don’t use it as inspiration or motivation. The Capricorn full moon on June 29 may have had you releasing limiting beliefs or changing your mind about an opinion you’ve stubbornly clung to for a while. As Mercury stationed retrograde in Cancer the same day, your thought process and communication abilities will be challenged until the end of July. You may find yourself circling back to an idea or two that you previously abandoned. If you have any siblings, prepare for communication mishaps to abound with them. Jupiter entered Leo the next day, focusing your attention on expanding your home and relationship to your family.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 may bring a surprise to your finances or a shakeup to your self-worth. Try to keep a chill demeanor as you sort through what’s happening, and avoid making any rash decisions about money. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may bring tension between your desire to communicate and the hidden obstacles that keep you from speaking up. Sometimes, the only way to move past our fear is to just say what needs to be said. Worry about consequences later. Venus enters Virgo on July 9, expanding your desire for creativity, joy, and romance. You may find yourself dating again if you’ve thought about putting yourself back out there. The Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 briefly provides clarity on how to communicate something that has been frustrating you.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 gives you a chance for a fresh learning opportunity or a chance to finally speak your mind about something.

The Barbault Basket on July 20 will have you focusing more on your home and private life if you’ve found some upsetting secrets or power plays in your career or with authority figures. Focusing on improving and maintaining your self-worth, and on navigating your own healing journey and boundaries with others, will also help you during this time.
Gemini: Mars entered your sign on June 28, Gemini, giving you the motivation for self-improvement and changing your identity. The Capricorn full moon on June 29 may have finally had you sharing an intimate moment with someone, or facing a much-needed psychological breakthrough. Mercury in Cancer also stationed retrograde that day, which will have you focusing on any issues popping up with your personal finances and self-worth. Watch your urge to splurge — this will get you into trouble later. Jupiter entered Leo the next day and wants you to expand your knowledge. Plan to get a lot louder in your communication style.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4 in your sign has you feeling assertive and rebellious. If you have been stifled for too long, this is your chance to break free from something holding you back. The Sun-Saturn square on July 6 may cause tension between your financial situation and your friends and community. If your people are trying to pressure you into spending money you don’t have, or if they’re challenging your self-esteem and personal values, are they really your friends? Venus enters Virgo on July 9, causing you to analyze your relationship to your home and family members. The Mercury cazimi the night of July 12 gives you brief clarity on your finances.
The Cancer new moon on July 14 gives you the chance to implement whatever clarity you received about money, talent, or self-worth on the Mercury cazimi. If you need to restructure your budget, look for work that honors and implements your skill set. Additionally, start changing the way you talk to yourself; this is the lunation to do so. The Barbault Basket on July 20 has you wanting to expand your knowledge and learn more about what you're trying to master, especially if you uncovered some secrets about certain belief systems or mentors involved in whatever you’re pursuing. You may find that you’re not as prepared as you previously thought you were. Trust yourself and the community support you’re building to guide you along the way. You may find that you know more about what you’re studying than you give yourself credit for. More people admire you for what you’re doing than you think.
