Your July Shoppable Horoscope Is Here
Summer is here and the girls are ready to be outside! As July kicks off amidst Cancer season, collectively we’re feeling a desire to slow things down and get real about our innermost desires and needs. As Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac, all matters of the home and connecting with our childhood and emotional security are important matters. While sensitive Cancer can bring out the feels, both Mars and Venus will be resting in fiery, confident Leo. As both Mars and Venus rule pleasure and attraction, the month of July invites us to speak up and go after who and what we love. Here’s to a summer of love meeting you right where you are.
On July 10th, the new moon in Cancer opens our hearts to a fresh, clean slate. During this time, our emotions will act as a driving force to fuel our productivity and create healthy routines that’ll be beneficial for our mental and physical health for the long-haul. This Cancer new moon reminds us that in order to show up as our best selves, we must water and tend to our own internal garden, first. Your body is your home—how will you take care of it?
On July 23rd, the sun will embark on a new journey through the sign of Leo, where the summer really heats up. The energy of Leo highlights our self-confidence and what brings us pleasure and joy in all aspects of life. Thinking back to this time last year, how will you take charge and ownership of your life today? Leo season is a beautiful time to allow your inner child to come out and play. This is not the time to shrink or allow imposter syndrome to cloud your judgment. Talking to yourself in the mirror when the slightest insecurities arise will be crucial. You are 100% THAT GIRL. Here’s to the summer of falling in love with yourself and potentially meeting the love of your life, cheers!
Aries
Home is where the heart is, Aries. During Cancer season, your emotions might feel like they’re on front-street and that’s ok. Surrender to the push and pull of embracing your solitude, but also popping out for a quick sec to interact with the world around you. While Venus and Mars light up your fifth house of fun, creativity and romantic relationships, there’ll be plentiful opportunities to meet that special someone who just ~gets~ you. As your fourth house of home, roots and your past is highlighted all Cancer season, give space for your raw emotions to exist. On July 10th, the Cancer new moon asks you to make amends with the pieces of your past that take away from your Black joy. What does it look like to radically transform your physical and mental space? You deserve this summer refresh!

Whenever you’re ready for a little downtime to recharge, be sure to speak up and address the space you need from your circle. As the sun in Cancer highlights your third house of communication and both Venus and Mars highlight your fourth house of home and your innerworld, expect fluctuations in your energies. One day you’re enjoying a night out in the town and the next day, you’re prioritizing your rest and being selfish with your time (as you rightfully should.) Cancer season also makes a great time for you to start therapy and get to the root of past experiences that are holding you back from enjoying where you are now in life. Creating an altar and calling on your ancestors to provide guidance on your next steps can be greatly beneficial during Cancer season—you are divinely protected and supported.
Once Venus, the planet of romance and relationships shifts into Virgo, you now have a laser focus on doing all the things that bring you joy. Those passion projects or side hustles that simply feel like a labor of love? Create space for them. Additionally, create space to open up your heart to a new level of love. Love that brings you butterflies and sets your heart aflame. You deserve a love that leaves you breathless and meets your wildest fantasies.

If you play your cards right, notice how much those zeros in your back account stack up six months from now. Keep putting in the work, everyone is waiting on you to tap into your greatest gifts, Gemini!

Happy, happy Solar Return Cancer! Each year, as the sun progresses and matures through your sign, you start to notice all the ways in which you’re vibrating at your highest frequency. In other words, you are not the same girl you were this time a year ago. What’s different about her? Give yourself some grace and open up to letting others do things for you for once. You don’t have to have everything put together, but as long as you cherish and practice gratitude for the little things that bring you joy, you’ll find your ease and flow. Your self-confidence and the way you take up space when you walk in rooms is undeniable this summer. While others might perceive your energy as braggadocious or high-maintenance, you have no desire to prove them wrong.

Just be sure to keep track of where your coins are going and budget if you feel you’re getting a little out of pocket.

Since the moment Cancer season began on June 21st, you’ve been in the mood for cuddles, nap dates and good eats. Throughout the first half of July, you’re getting to the core of what needs to be healed within before your birthday season rolls around. As Venus and Mars rest in your sign, you’re craving all the love, pleasure and attention. One important lesson to learn during Cancer season is that even if all the love, pleasure and attention only comes from you, you have to be content with that. With your twelfth house of healing, closure and confronting your fears being highlighted during the first half of the month, you can no longer be afraid to speak up for the lackluster role that your close friends or romantic partner(s) are playing in your life. You know that you’re the prize and I dare you to never settle for less again.
On July 23rd, once Leo season begins, you’ll understand why you had to close certain doors for new opportunities and experiences to meet you where you are. You are not who you were a year ago, Leo. You are re-discovering and re-learning what you need in this next chapter of your life. Don’t second guess yourself—time is on your side.

On July 23rd, when your ruling planet moves into Virgo, rest will be a major priority for you and you truly deserve it. After a full month of being on the social scene and having laser focus on your work, allow this time to unplug and recharge. Towards the end of Cancer season, you’re also focusing on tying up loose ends and making amends with the people and things that no longer fit this newly evolved version of yourself. It won’t be easy at first, but you have to learn to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is how you grow, Libra.
