Cancer July 2023

On July 3, your desire for structure and stability in your romantic partnerships will come into sharp focus. While you tend to be someone who enjoys ebb and flow, your connections with others must have a strong sense of security in order for you to feel comfortable. This full moon is an opportunity to consider how reliable some of the partnerships you’re engaging in currently are – and could mark an a-ha moment about how to proceed with a certain someone. When it comes to relationships, you’re looking for something that’s built to last, and this lunation is your gentle reminder of what you need from others.

A new moon in Cancer takes place on July 17, directing your focus back to yourself and your personal identity. Now is a chance to reconnect with your innermost needs and desires, so don’t hesitate to put yourself first! You’re always taking care of the people around you, but this day is a moment for you to check in with you. Listen to what your feelings are telling you today because they’re certain to have a lot to say. 

The sun shifts into the fixed, fire sign of Leo on July 22, bringing acknowledgment and increased awareness to your personal resources and assets. You may find yourself treating yourself more than usual now, or taking pride in what’s currently in your possession. This is a moment to enjoy the fruits of your labor – you deserve to treat yourself, so feel free to do so as proudly as you can. However, since Venus will also be stationing retrograde in Leo on this day, you’ll be prompted to reconsider how you enjoy what you own. This could mark the start of an adjustment period for your finances, especially if you’ve been overindulging – so be sure to keep up with your purchases now.
