On July 3, the Capricorn full moon will encourage you to withdraw, reflect, and retreat. This is a time to pull the curtain back on any bad habits or tendencies you’ve been participating in that are working against you, so that you can be liberated from them. While you may be feeling the urge to be productive today, the most useful thing you can do for yourself is rest. Cancer season has allowed you to get in touch with your body in new, intuitive ways, and this lunation is an ideal time to prioritize some much-needed self-care.
On July 13, the sun and moon will conjoin in Cancer, marking the start of something new in your current rituals and daily routines. While you tend to be someone who thrives on a consistent schedule, it’s important to be more receptive to what your body’s telling you. You may need different things on different days, and that’s okay – giving yourself what you need is important, even if it doesn’t appear to be coming from a place of logic. What you need in order to function at your best may not always make sense, and that’s okay.
The sun shifts into the vibrant sign of Leo on July 22, shifting your attention to your romantic relationships and partnerships. You’ll find yourself leaning more into your connections with others this season, as well as seeking more acknowledgment and attention than you’re typically used to. Feel free to bask in the limelight now – your loved ones are feeling eager to give you the praise and appreciation you deserve. Since Venus, the planet of romance and pleasure, will be stationing retrograde in Leo the same day, you’ll be re-evaluating the ways you seek out satisfaction and gratification in your bonds with others now. This retrograde is your reminder that it’s okay to express your needs out loud: how will anyone know what you need, if you don’t tell them?
