Astrologically, July is a very transformative month for most zodiac signs. A lot of planetary shifts are set to happen this month. Notably, the Mercury retrograde will go on till the majority of July, causing small communication problems, delays, and very strong nostalgia. But you may also find lost things find their way back to you, and old friends may turn up at your door. The Sun enters Leo around July 22, making this month very full of energy.

Some zodiac signs, however, will experience the universe working in their favor. Things will work out for them—professionally, financially, and maybe even in relationships.

Leo 

Leo will be very lucky this month; Jupiter, the planet of luck, expansion, and opportunity, enters Leo on June 30. This transit happens once every 12 years. On the other hand, Venus will stay in Leo for the first 9 days in July. 

Leos are naturally confident and very secure about themselves; this transit just amplifies that energy. They will find it easy to be more social and come across better opportunities without trying too hard for them. 

Venus will bring an improvement in financial condition; if you have been putting off some expensive purchases that you had always secretly wanted, like an art piece, new clothes, or trips, this is the best time to go for it. Mercury retrograde asks Leo to slow down and think before making big decisions; it’s better to utilize this time to plan and prepare. Mercury will station directly on 23rd July, and you will find misunderstandings resolve themselves.

Cancer 

July is Cancer season, and the universe is working overtime to bring you good luck. The Sun moves through Cancer until July 22. Mercury stations in Cancer on July 23, and you will have a greater urge to introspect and work on personal growth.

Jupiter, the planet of gain and expansion, enters Leo on June 30. In Cancer’s chart, Leo is responsible for money and material gain. The next year will bring them steady financial growth; look out for sudden job offers, promotions, or recognition at your workplace. Your efforts will be appreciated and your hard work noted.

There is a Cancer New Moon set to happen on July 14. New moons are a sign to work on a personal reset. Use this to set your intentions for the rest of the year.

Venus, the planet of harmony and relationships, enters Virgo from July 9. It guarantees that you will come across genuine friendships and new experiences. The Mercury retrograde may bring you confusion and delays but be patient!

Aries 

Aries enters July with Venus already lighting up their fifth house. Venus is the planet of love, relationships, and beauty, and they will feel a sudden burst of self-confidence. New relationships are entirely on the horizon; a slow and steady love is possible. This is a warm, social, and creatively alive period.

Jupiter moves into Leo on June 30 and amplifies this energy. For Aries, Leo rules that same fifth house, meaning Jupiter’s expansive, luck-bringing energy is directed straight at love, fun, and self-expression for the next year. 

Venus enters Virgo on July 9, and the energy becomes directed towards your health and work life. This is a signal for you to start building healthy habits and work towards maintaining them. Your physical health needs to be a priority this month, especially if you have been neglecting it lately.

Sagittarius 

For Sagittarius, this will be a very eventful month, and their calendar will remain booked. Jupiter enters Leo on June 30, and they will start the new month with newfound curiosity and eagerness to learn. Sagittariuses are already wired to explore new places; July will bring them an opportunity to either explore a new place or a new skill.

Venus entering Virgo from July 9 onward affects their career trajectory. This planetary placement is special for you; you will start noticing better opportunities coming your way. You will get recognition at work, new projects, possible promotions, and co-workers will start noticing your dedication to your work.

Mars in Gemini will focus on Sagittarius’s romantic and professional relationships. On July 22, the Sun enters Leo and meets Jupiter, making it an ideal time for them to make travel plans and open up to new possibilities.
