The month begins on a serious note, as the Capricorn full moon unfolds on July 10. This lunation encourages you to retreat from the outside world and reflect on the current state of your personal limitations and boundaries. Have you been holding yourself back in a way that’s ineffective or unsupportive of your mental health or well-being? If so, now is the time to confront where any subconscious fears or resistance may lie. You prioritize structure and discipline in your life, but it’s important that the rules you’ve set for yourself don’t feel overly stifling.
On July 18, Mercury will station retrograde in expressive Leo, stirring up important conversations in your romantic relationships. You’ll reevaluate how to express yourself confidently and self-assuredly. Since this transit occurs in the sign opposite yours, you might feel compelled to communicate in a way that contradicts your usual detached, realistic expression. Now is the time to advocate for your needs and voice your thoughts in your connections with others.
The sun shifts into vibrant Leo on July 22, continuing to spotlight your romantic relationships and partnerships. You’ll feel inspired by your connections with others this season while seeking more acknowledgment and attention than you’re accustomed to. Don’t shy away from any newfound attention that comes your way, especially in love! You’re deserving of recognition and affection, even if it feels dramatic or over the top. By the Leo new moon on July 24, your relationships will turn a new leaf, bringing increased confidence and bold expressions to the forefront. Now, you’ll be on the lookout for uplifting relationships that make you feel valued and loved.
