Virgo July 2023

You’ll be prioritizing pleasure and satisfaction on July 3, as the Capricorn full moon illuminates the sky. While you’re typically eager to be productive and efficient, this lunation is a time for you to let your hair down and enjoy yourself. Since this lunation is in the cardinal, earth sign of Capricorn, you’ll still be feeling the urge to make yourself useful in these endeavors, but it’s still important to focus primarily on joyful moments. Whether it’s going on a date or attending a cooking class, you’ll be feeling the urge to lean more into things that feel good now – so go have fun. 

On July 17, the Cancer new moon will invite new themes around friendship and community into your world. Since you’re naturally the mom friend, you may find others seeking out your comfort and support today (something you secretly love). You enjoy feeling useful, especially when it’s for the people you care about. This may also be a day that you connect with a new person or organization that aligns with your emotional needs. While you may be feeling more shy than usual, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there! The new relationships you seek now will be welcoming you with open arms. 

The sun leaves the emotionally-led sign of Cancer on July 22 and shifts into the confident, authoritative sign of Leo. This season is typically pretty introspective for you, since it takes place right before yours comes along. As a result, you may not be feeling particularly social this month, but that’s okay – it’s a time to prioritize yourself and your abilities. While Leo energy may be difficult for you to tap into, it’s a reminder that you must come first. If you haven’t been showing yourself enough love, now is the time to do so – especially since Venus will be stationing retrograde here on the same day. Having desires isn’t anything to be ashamed of, and this retrograde is an opportunity for you to become more comfortable with advocating for yourself.
