Cancer season is upon us! July is full of transformation, adventure, and new ideas for the zodiac signs, but what does it have in store for you? And which character type matches your July 2024 horoscope?
Find out below.
♋️ Cancer ♋️
(June 21 – July 22)
The Best Friend
You’re more than ready for summer, Cancer! And you’ve got it all planned out: the music, the vibes, the outfits, the food. No one is more excited about what the warm weather has to offer than you. When the Moon in Taurus favors the Sun, Mars, Venus, and Saturn, enthusiasm is high for celebration. This is needed most for your friends and contagious to others this month. Similar to cheerful Broadway best friends like Dawn from Waitress and Michael from Be More Chill, you’ll find yourself wanting to spend these days in the sun with those closest to you, especially as the New Moon in Cancer in your solar first house attracts favorite friends and relatives.
♌️ Leo ♌️
(July 23 – August 22)
The Anti-Hero
July is a little broody for you, Leo. This is mainly due to Neptune in Pisces going retrograde in your eighth house of transformation, bringing about a time of reflection and melancholy for you. Changes at work, school, or even home might be occupying your free time more than you’d like it to be this summer. While not the most exciting time, it is a meaningful one for you. Jupiter in Gemini hints at a little vacation time with friends, while Mercury and Venus in Leo indicate favorable connections. Social aspects this month will bring a lot of variety to your calendar, but you’ll find yourself being very selective of who to give your time, energy, and feelings. You might not be used to this downtime, but you need it!
♍️ Virgo ♍️
(August 23 – September 22)
The Parent
Virgo, the company of planets in compatible signs like Venus in Cancer and Mars and Uranus in Taurus suggests a harmonious month rooted in the local spots you enjoy. You intend to make the most of your summer…within reason. Very much like the parent figure of any musical, you’re planning which music festivals, parties, concerts, getaways, etc are feasible given your time and budget (which you are monitoring too, of course). Surprisingly, none of this is a burden for you—rather you see it as a way to know exactly what you’ll do this summer, and that allows you to enjoy it in the moment! Just remember that it’s OK for things not to go according to plan sometimes!
♎️ Libra ♎️
(September 23 – October 22)
The Royal
The New Moon in Cancer will enhance your weekend plans and schedule with friends. You could find yourself feeling like you’re holding court, Libra. Entertaining visitors around the end of July will allow you the opportunity to try trendy new things you’ve been dying to go to, like a local concert with an up-and-coming artist or cultural food fest. With Mars in Taurus going through your eighth house of transformation, you might discover a boost in finances that will help you improve your castle, I mean…home. While this month isn’t all about love, your kind nature to friends, enthusiasm to entertain, and embracing all that summer has to offer reminds us of some Broadway princesses.
♏️ Scorpio ♏️
(October 23 – November 21)
The Rebel
Scorpio, you’re marching to your drum (more than usual) this summer. As July creeps in, you’re feeling bogged down by others and are ready to do things by yourself, for yourself. P.S.: This isn’t necessarily a bad thing! As the Moon and Jupiter in Gemini line up in your solar eighth house, you’ll find the Fourth of July weekend the ideal time for a much-needed vacation. When Mercury and Venus enter Leo mid-month, expect a little glamor in your life. You might be tempted to spend some money and treat yourself to an expensive item. Or you’ll receive an invitation to a celebration involving you or a significant other.
♐️ Sagittarius ♐️
(November 22 – December 21)
The Comic Relief
Summer is all about fun for you, Sagittarius! From picnics to vacations to parties and comedy shows, you feel like shucking your responsibilities for a bit. This comes from Jupiter entering Gemini in your solar first house of passion. Your exuberate tendencies this month will go off without a hitch in July. If you’re thinking about taking a vacation, now is a good time to do so. You’ve never been timid before about what you want to do, and now is not the time to be. Just like Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast or Donkey from Shrek, you’ll bring a vibrant and bright energy to your friend group this summer.
♑️ Capricorn ♑️
(December 22 – January 19)
The Mentor
You’re very in tune with others' emotions this month, Capricorn. With compatible Mars in Taurus, and Sun, Venus, and Saturn in water signs, you’ll find yourself more emotional and more understanding towards others. The New Moon in Cancer will allow you to reflect on the moods of those closest to you like a partner or family member. These planets also indicate a sense of tradition that you may be seeking this month. This could be revisiting a place you used to go to a lot, rekindling a summer tradition, or following what you believe are the traditional markings of summertime. July is overall a positive and stable month for you, allowing you to relate to the Wise Mentor archetype of helping others when you can while relaxing in your peace and outlook.
♒️ Aquarius ♒️
(January 20 – February 18)
The Hero
Aquarius, you’re determined to have it all this summer! Favorable planetary alignments with the Moon and Jupiter in Gemini indicate a desire to party and spend your free time celebrating. But Mars in Taurus in your 10th house of career means you're putting a newfound focus on your career. This could mean you’re looking for a new company to work at, a new role within your existing organization, or a salary increase. With these work priorities, you’ll be in charge of managing inquiries and other individuals, giving you a chance to prove yourself to higher-ups. Unified teamwork, similar to the arc of the Hero archetype, makes it possible to achieve your goals at work and have time to enjoy yourself the rest of the week.
♓️ Pisces ♓️
(February 19 – March 20)
The Ingénue
Wholesome fun is what you’re seeking, Pisces. Embodying the purity and whimsical qualities of the Ingenue, you’re inclined towards less traditional ways of spending your summer. You’ll be intrigued by new baking recipes, indie movie festivals, and hobbies you can do at home. This is all influenced by the New Moon in Cancer in your second house of home and hearth and Neptune going retrograde in your Pisces first house of activity. While you crave a “low-key” summer, it’s not a lonely one. Bring in friends, who might be excited by new activities, to try out new things this July.
♈️ Aries ♈️
(March 21 – April 19)
The Tycoon
Aries, with Mars (your ruling planet) moving through Taurus in your second house of money, be sure to safeguard your assets this month and avoid any reckless spending. While you find it tempting given the carefree nature of summer, your finances could become a little tight and you’ll need the extra cash for a rainy day. All in all, the rest of July is positive for you! You’ll likely have a friend or ex-lover re-enter your life out of the blue as Venus occupies Cancer in your fourth house of domestic affairs (looking at you Jay Gatsby). With Jupiter in Gemini in your third house of communication, you’ll be focused on high achievement at work. This could be excelling at a verbal assignment such as a presentation, an emcee gig, or a panel discussion!
♉️ Taurus ♉️
(April 20 – May 20)
The Pygmalion
Transformation is your keyword for July, Taurus. You’re looking to break out of your comfort zone for the first time in a while and this summer is the perfect time to do it. With Leo in Mercury and Venus, you’re charismatic and appealing this month, bringing about a new wave of attention your way. With Gemini entering Jupiter (the planet of expansion) you’ll see yourself growing into your own confidently and socially. Just like the Pygmalion archetype, this transformation will allow you to learn more about yourself and become the most confident version you can be this summer. Plus, this transformation can come through the help of a friend, colleague, or close family member, further strengthening your bond with this individual.
♊️ Gemini ♊️
(May 21 – June 20)
The Charmer
Gemini, you’re in your element this month! The combination of Jupiter in Gemini and Mercury in Leo makes this July the perfect time to be around friends and family. Charm and wit have always come naturally to you, but this month in particular you’re looking to razzle dazzle. Host a barbeque or game night with friends, impress family members with a new dish, and make new acquaintances through your captivating storytelling. You’ll not only be magnetic and lauded by family members, but you’ll find strangers become new friends through your charming ways. With this kind of ability, you’ll find that little stands in your way this summer.
