The Cardinal Water sign of Cancer rules most of July. Cancerian vibes are emotionally and spiritually deep, with moods that shift gently—but powerfully—like the tides. It’s worthwhile bearing this in mind on the 4th, when energetic Mars forms a conjunction with unpredictable Uranus in Gemini. This is a great day for creative projects so long as one is willing and able to adapt to unexpected change; with Cancer season in the cosmic background, set the intention that nothing is to be taken too seriously, and all will be well.
On the 7th, Neptune begins its retrograde in Aries. This transit lasts several months; Neptune governs creativity and imagination, so its retrograde energies can keep us grounded while we chart our aspirational life-paths. A Sun-Mercury conjunction follows on the 13th, which bodes well for meetings, proposals and presentations—with the caveat that extra care is taken to cover all bases, since we’re still navigating the Mercury retrograde at this point.
The New Moon in Cancer on the 14th offers a wonderful cosmic opportunity to set intentions for domestic life, property, love/marriage and motherhood. The Moon is the ruling planet of Cancer, so this is a particularly powerful lunar event. Let your heart and mind focus on how you want home to feel like. Sometimes home isn’t just a place but also a person, a relationship, or a future version of yourself. May this New Moon guide you to fulfil your dreams.
The Sun moves into fiery Leo on the 23rd, bringing in a new cycle of warmth, ambition and courage. On the 24th, Mercury stations direct in Cancer and thus ends its retrograde here—after approximately three weeks of slightly more complex communication and technological issues, we can now move forward more freely.
The Saturn retrograde begins in Aries on the 27th and, over the next few months, we will be encouraged to review our boundaries and responsibilities. This is followed up on the 29th by a happy Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Leo: a very, very lucky day indeed. Take your chances on this day, and know that Lady Luck will quite likely be smiling at you.
The month of July rounds off on a happy note with the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 29th. This is an auspicious time for meetups and group projects. In a way, this also serves as a good time for a mid-point review of the lunar year so far (the Lunar New Year, for those who celebrate, begins on the New Moon in Aquarius). How far along are you on your path to achieve your goals? This Full Moon will illuminate your progress precisely.

King of Wands
Dear Aries, this could be a game-changing month for you. The King of Wands represents people, situations and dynamics characterised by visionary gifts, natural authority, charismatic leadership and bold action. This could certainly indicate your role in a situation that requires a brave and generous spirit. Take charge of whatever you’re facing and move forward—you will likely receive support from leaders and mentors. Go for it!
Taurus
21 April to 20 May
Three of Swords
Dear Taurus, this month may present its own challenges but you’ll find them to be blessings in hindsight. The 3 of Swords can indicate a certain degree of mental and emotional pressure, but whatever insights you gain from these moments will release you from stalemates and clarify your truth powerfully. For some of you, a conversation needs to be held that will clear the air and bring you relief. Don’t overthink the dilemmas—act, one step at a time.
Gemini
21 May to 21 June
The Tower
Dear Gemini, get ready for major change and disruption. The Tower is a card that represents the end of the old and the emergence of the new. Let go of assumptions you’ve outgrown. Embrace what is coming and know that this is the inevitable price of your soul’s upgrade—and this can be nothing but a good thing when you’re so ready to transform. After all, your native brilliance and flexibility almost guarantees that you will navigate this process effortlessly.
Cancer
22 June to 22 July
Ace of Wands
Dear Cancer, happy birth season! Your card is the Ace of Wands—after the intensity of previous months, you can look forward to new beginnings and cycles of productivity. There’s a fresh fire, a creative spark in your energy field. This could be a new project, a career opportunity, an exciting new person in your life… a seed has been planted that will be nurtured with your deep passion for living and loving well. Pssst—this card can bring luck, too!
Leo
23 July to 22 August
Five of Swords
This month, dear Leo, you could be facing a situation characterised by political intrigue and complexity. Some people around you might be driven by an agenda, and/or simply have decided that they are going to win at all costs. However, this doesn’t have to get ugly: your best strategy is to choose your battles wisely, read the room and refrain from assumptions, implement retreats strategically, and live to fight another day.
Virgo
23 August to 22 September
King of Pentacles
This month’s card, dear Virgo, is exactly the sort of energy you would appreciate. The King of Pentacles represents a person, situation or dynamic that is built not only to last, but to succeed in a steady and practical manner. Whatever you’re working on, this card points towards practical accomplishments and a grounded sense of achievement. This card also bodes well for financial abundance. Looking for love? Someone could be stepping up to commit.
Libra
23 September to 22 October
Eight of Cups
Are you planning for movement, dear Libra? If so, whatever you intend to achieve from this movement will be yours. The 8 of Cups refers to travel in every sense of the word: not only a literal overseas trip, but also the decision to walk away from what no longer serves your best interests. This card often indicates that spiritual growth and emotional maturity will arise from this move; your life will be taken to a higher level. Walk on, dear one!
Scorpio
23 October to 22 November
The Hermit
You know better than anyone, dear Scorpio, that the best answers to our questions lie within. The Hermit points towards solitude, inner wisdom, and a conscious withdrawal to reflect. You might be feeling the pull to go deep into introspection—by all means, do so. A powerful encounter with wisdom awaits you, and will give you clarity. Keep your eyes and ears open—you could also receive answers from an unexpected external source.
Sagittarius
23 November to 21 December
Ten of Pentacles
Your card for this month makes you the envy of all, dear Sagittarius. The 10 of Pentacles refers to an energy, dynamic or situation filled with abundance, prosperity, and a stability that lasts. This often refers to family, but can also refer to one’s business or workplace. A legacy is being built, and all will benefit. In your own irreplaceable, irresistible way, Sagi, you are going to play a key role in how this situation develops. Best foot forward, friend!
Capricorn
22 December to 20 January
The Devil
This month’s card is ruled by your sign, and this means that you will be standing strong in your power, dear Capricorn. Your card is The Devil–a card that speaks to power in all its forms. You could be facing a situation that will require great courage to change and achieve breakthrough in. This card encourages you to set yourself free from the chains that bind you, and to reclaim your authority. What you desire lies on the other side of what you fear. Be fearless.
Aquarius
21 January to 19 February
Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune is watching over you this month, dear Aquarius! Luck is your friend indeed: with the Full Moon also in your side this month, you could be seeing some interesting developments in certain situations you’ve been handling. Look out for unexpected changes that appear almost coincidental, moves that appear like turns of fate, and shifts in previously predictable cycles. You’re watching destiny in motion. Make a wish!
Pisces
20 February to 20 March
The Magician
The universe hands you a magic wand this month, Pisces. Everything you need is already on the table—the tools, the talent, the timing—and The Magician asks only one thing of you: that you stop waiting for permission. This is the month where your vision could become a decision (your ruling planet, Neptune, enters retrograde and helps you here). Channel your dreams into deliberate, grounded action. You can manifest the magic. Claim it!
