July 2024 Horoscopes are here!

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): Challenges with the immediate family or home start July 2024, but one of the best ways to deal with them is through minor adjustments, both emotionally and in your daily life. The first week of the month might see karma come back around, clearing the slate for the latter part of the month. You may also find opportunities for prosperity and learning through the people you know and casual conversations. The latter part of the month is a stark contrast to the first. Around the middle of the month, you may notice things turn for the better, if not the fantastic. Your creativity may be stronger than normal, and you may be more optimistic. Fortune may favor you, and fun may be in the air. Opportunities may continue to be there through the people you know and your conversations. The more emotionally invested you are, the more success you can achieve.

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): Other than the hiccups caused at the beginning of the month mentioned above, you may find July 2024 begins with a lot of emphasis on home life, close loved ones, and all things domestic. The first two weeks present an opportunity for spiritual and emotional evolution if you take the opportunities presented. As the month progresses, you may find challenges in many life areas, such as communication, frivolous spending, money through your creative endeavors, and love life. Out-of-sort emotions may be present too, so the last two weeks of the month may be a stark contrast to the first half of July. It might also be challenging to harmonize doing what is best for others vs what is best for you. 

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): The above-mentioned transits may kick July 2024 off with a bang, particularly regarding emotions and spirituality. You may find karma comes back around, or emotionally focused relationships come to the forefront to address. Your optimism can carry you through, and a good way to handle things is to focus on what you can control and the friendships you have. As the month continues, it may feel like night and day in differences, with nothing but good fortune, blessings, and understanding, all being ample and ready for your taking. Inspiration, socialization, good fortune, a spike in creativity, and optimism may all be in the air, setting the stage for good things to happen during the first two weeks of August. Mars entering your sign around the 20^th may bring extra energy to get things done. 

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): Happy birthday Cancers! This is your month, so treat yourself! Unlike other signs, you may find the chaotic start to the month works in your favor. Emotional and spiritual situations from the past may come back to be addressed. If you have been working on them, the resolution will be for the best, but if you have had problems with them, they may be issues rather than liberations. The first two weeks of the month may focus on your immediate family and home life, which is fine. As the month unfolds, minor adjustments may need to be made regarding communication styles and learning opportunities, but otherwise, things will be steady. The last two weeks of the month won’t be bad, but the first two may seem like they are when put into perspective. If you make calculated adjustments, you could open up a world of fun. 

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): Saturn and Neptune may be nonfactors for most of you as July 2024 begins, but the month itself may be as different as night and day. The first two weeks begin with challenges concerning your daily life, emotions, and even the Internet, which will be enough to keep you occupied. In return, though, if you put your attention on your friends, you may find opportunities for growth and prosperity to be seized. As July matures, things move in a very positive direction overall, with good things coming your way through your romantic life, creativity, games of chance, communication, and when it comes to children. Learning and teaching may play prominent roles through the whole of the month. 

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): July 2024 begins with a lot of issues and tension in the air regarding your emotions and spirituality due to what Neptune and Saturn kick off at the tail end of June, and with the current activity in Gemini, you may find challenges regarding communication and prosperity are also present. To counterbalance this, you may find it is a good time to focus on the small things, such as how you handle your diet, daily life, and close friends and loved ones. Being cautious with spending would be wise to do as well. As the month matures, you may find that things go from challenging to interesting. Mars’s entry into Gemini may bring accident potential or arguments, but the last week of the month is a good time to complete paperwork and daily tasks.

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): Like Leos, Saturn, and Neptune at the end of June may be non-events, but that is okay because you will have your hands full with other challenges, specifically those that have to do with the home, immediate loved ones, and psychological wounds that have been around for some time now. As July grows, you may find that money through your home, and because of your family, it may be an issue, as could romance if the two are intertwined. The good news is that your creativity is stronger than normal, and money may easily flow to you through your creative projects and games of chance. During the whole month, it is a good time to connect with friends and see what expansion opportunities you can achieve through them.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): The activity at the end of June and the first few days of July may impact you similar to how Cancer will be impacted. Good things may come from those transits, but if you haven’t done the proper work or healing, the transits may bring more problems than blessings. Even though emotional tension may be in the air as July begins, you may also find yourself at a spot to lay some groundwork regarding your home life and immediate family in the medium-range future. Watching what you eat and your social interactions online would be wise, but your short temper will only be around for a few days. However, as July unfolds, you may find challenges come up that have to do with your creative projects, money through them, romance, and just having fun. Your emotions may be out of whack, but this will fade quickly, and you may find solace in your spirituality. 

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): Challenges, growth opportunities, and all kinds of mostly internal issues await you as July begins, thanks to Saturn and Neptune, so it would be wise to be as optimistic as possible. Financially, this is a good time to play things conservatively regarding money and investments, perhaps even diversifying. As July matures, you may notice an interesting situation. It is still smart to play things conservatively, financially speaking, but the last two weeks in July are a good time to watch your words and casual conversations because they may work against you if you’re not mindful. On the other hand, romance, money through creative projects, good fortune, and optimism may all be mainstays and can work in your favor.

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): The end of June and the first few days of July may be just what the doctor ordered, thanks to Saturn and Neptune. The first two weeks of July may bring a lot of closure, healing, and changes for the better, and they may come easier to you than you think. Even though communication with your immediate family and loved ones may be tense, and your home may be hemorrhaging money, these will be short-lived and will fade by mid-month. As we get closer to June, you might find the tension with your immediate family subsides and stops, and financial situations involving the home stabilize and can easily be wrangled. Making a few major adjustments may pay off and set the stage for a great time during the latter part of August. 

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): Saturn and Neptune may require minor adjustments as July begins regarding your emotions and spirituality, but otherwise, those planets may be non-events. As July begins, emphasis is placed on talking to people and spending time with friends. Your emotions may be out of sorts as the month begins, but this will fade by mid-month. Watch out for impulse buying the first two weeks, especially if it is retail therapy. As July marches on, your emotions may grow, but tension may become present regarding your communication style, creative outlets, money spent on your creativity, games of fortune, and romantic life. The good news is that for the whole month, you may find opportunities for prosperity and learning through the people you know. 

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): O Pisces, this is it. Thanks to the stage set by Saturn and Neptune at the end of June, you may discover the beginning of July is a make-or-break time, particularly concerning emotions and spirituality. Financially, it is wise to play things conservatively and not branch out regarding your social circle. Money may come to you through the home, and the foundation is laid for long-term growth for your family and immediate loved ones. The beginning of the month is a good time to change your daily life, especially regarding your diet and habits. As the month progresses, a lot of the intensity fades, and the opportunities present at the beginning of the month have come and gone. Now, your attention turns to dealing with what has transpired and being more mindful of your friendships and casual interactions. The latter part of July may require adjustments to honor your creative side and its development.
