The month of the Crab brings connection to our earliest emotional experiences and exposes any negative relationships in life. Tune in and practice self-care, baby!
ARIES// ARIES RISING
Your ruler, Mars, begins the month in a tight predicament – opposing serious Saturn in Aquarius. This influences your ability to move ahead without seriously considering the impact of your actions. It may be time to check in about the longevity of your choices, what you can carry forward long term, and what you are simply doing to appease others. Think of this as a learning lesson, where you are choosing between listening to outside authority or going with your own impulses. The Sun in Cancer encourages you to look for emotional healing in your personal life, through wellness, time spent inward, and reflection. More excitement is to be had when the Sun moves into Leo, boosting your self esteem and encouraging all creative risks.
TAURUS// TAURUS RISING
Cancer season has you feeling all the feels, so don’t be afraid to do what you do best – cosy up and practice some self care. June was a whirlwind, with eclipses and retrogrades, and now it's time to clean up the aftermath and seek some safety. In Early July, Venus and Mars conjoin in Leo, asking you to create and express yourself with an open heart. Next, as Venus, your planetary ruler, enters Virgo on the 21st, you are bestowed a more “can-do” attitude towards love and relationships. You may find that you are more inclined to be helpful and supportive to friends and lovers than usual, and the stars may even invite a new romantic interest into your sphere. Stay open to new romantic possibilities!
GEMINI// GEMINI RISING
June may have knocked your socks off, with a retrograde in your sign and a massive eclipse – eclipsing out people, places, and things that were no longer suited to your highest vibration. Thankfully, the universe LOVES a vacuum, and to fill the space where things were removed and let go of – brand new connections and opportunities are heading your way. Cancer season imbues a sense of nostalgia on all of the signs, and you may have yourself inadvertently taking a trip down memory lane. Memory can be tricky, so avoid the temptation to regress towards old relationship dynamics, and instead channel some of that emotional energy towards processing the old. Luckily, things pick up for you when the Sun moves into shining Leo, encouraging you to become the social butterfly you are and proudly display the new identity you are so elegantly reworking.
CANCER// CANCER RISING
Happy Birthday, late Cancerians! The first half of the month is all about you! Although you have a proclivity to curl up and get cosy, it's time for you to shine and let yourself feel seen. The New Moon in your sign on the 9th asks you to set intentions for yourself for the next calendar year – in matters of work, home, love, and self ownership. You are ready to welcome in new relationships and connections with greater emotional maturity. Leo season ushers in some self-confidence and assistance and encourages you to look at your finances. Where can you cut down your spending, while remaining optimistic about future opportunities?
LEO// LEO RISING
Happy Birthday, early Leos! We begin July in Cancer season, and you are prompted to check your relationships for reciprocity. Where are you dishing out more than you are receiving? Have you been a reluctant caretaker for others? Being the strong, happy leader of your friend group doesn’t mean you don’t need some TLC. Offer yourself a time-out in early July, and give yourself some time to tune back into your own energetic field. With Mars and Venus conjoining in your sign early July, you are unifying and rebalancing your ability to both receive and go after what you want. This should be a lucky period, where you are both creatively motivated and receptive to the surprise blessings the universe has in store. Your season begins July 22nd, and you are the talk of the town, radiating self confidence and happily busy. Enjoy!
VIRGO// VIRGO RISING
July encourages you to inspect your friendships, as Cancer season moves you into a more emotional space – asking you to follow feelings and pay close attention to your need to be nurtured and nourished. An old friend may make a sudden reappearance in your life, or perhaps you might reflect on how what you want from companions has evolved. When pleasure planet Venus enters your sign on the 21st, she brings blessings, financial and otherwise, and you are magnetic. Remember to utilise this time wisely, and use the law of attraction to bring what you want into fruition. Leo season begins on the following day, the 22nd, and you are ready to shine. Use this time to embrace what makes you loveable and unique. With Venus in your corner, you are bestowed rose-tinted glasses for this season!
LIBRA// LIBRA RISING
Cancer season calls you to check in with your emotions and practice self care. After a very cerebral June, July brings buried childhood emotions to the surface, so curate a safe space to feel and heal. Early July, Venus – your ruler – connects with serious stern Saturn in Aquarius. This is a call to practice greater discernment and self discipline in your dealings with others, and even in your spending habits. Venus then connects with Mars, prompting you to embody your sensuality and go after what you want. Trusting your desires and where they are leading you is key. When Venus moves into hardworking Virgo on the 21st, you will find your daily routines imbued with a sense of purpose. You are more motivated and direct than usual. We culminate the month in Leo season, encouraging all signs to play and socialise.
SCORPIO// SCORPIO RISING
After a heavy June, July asks you to practice nurturing and self care. Gemini season was a firework display of information, and July calls you to tune into your emotions rather than your mind. Look for cunning and clever ways to be kind to yourself, and remember all feelings are temporary. Steering clear of hearsay and gossip is wise. Instead, look for reasons to be happy. A New Moon in Cancer on the 9th encourages you to set intentions for what you need to feel safe and secure in your relationships with others, so don't be afraid to call in greater bouts of nourishment. Try and check in with your spending and splurging habits when Venus enters pragmatic Virgo on the 21st. Leo season, beginning the following day, can make everyone extravagant, so it will be wise to practice self restraint and discipline.
SAGITTARIUS// SAGITTARIUS RISING
Cancer season wants you to inspect the energy you take on from others, particularly through deep intimacy. You are driven by depth this month, looking to truly explore and know others on a more profound level. Themes of sensuality, transformation and intensity are highlighted. The New Moon on the 9th encourages you to transform how you relate. You are known for your steadfast independence and vision, but even travellers need a place to call home. It’s time to truly allow yourself to be known by another. Use this date to set intentions around intimacy and how you can welcome in more of it. Leo season begins on the 22nd, adding some theatrics to the heavens, and encouraging all signs to get out there and play. What do you love about yourself? How can you practice greater self-love and self-ownership?
CAPRICORN// CAPRICORN RISING
Cancer season emphasises your arena of partnerships, and as the Sun radiates through the sign of the crab, you are learning how to be softer and more empathic to the needs of others. Saturn, your ruler, opposes both Mars and Venus in early July, asking you to check in with your desires and examine if they need to be carried through adulthood. You are known for your ability to be wise, serious, discerning, and ambitious, but even the big bosses of the zodiac need nurturing. Remember the people closest to you are mirrors, and try to see them as a reflection of yourself. Feelings repressed need to be expressed in July. Things should liven up on the 22nd, when the Sun moves into Leo, and you are called to play, create, and laugh freely.
AQUARIUS// AQUARIUS RISING
Early July calls you to rest up and replenish your energy system by taking time alone. It’s time to cosy up at home and revisit what makes you happy. You are eager for some emotional nourishment, and this is the ample time to pamper yourself and learn how to be a better caretaker of your own quieted needs. The energy shifts when Leo season begins on the 22nd, and you are radiant with self-confidence and self-expression. You are more than ready to take your newfound confidence and share it with others, particularly where romantic partners are concerned. The Full Moon in your sign on the 27th can bring old emotions boiling to the surface and offers you the chance to reimagine your sense of identity. This is a time to release any old baggage that doesn’t suit the person you are becoming.
PISCES// PISCES RISING
Your psychic and intuitive abilities are stretching this month, with both Neptune and Jupiter in your sign, granting you insights you never dreamed possible. Take time alone to integrate these gifts. June was a difficult month with relationship and work stresses but you can expect some time to breathe over the duration of Cancer season. Jupiter, planet of luck and opportunities, is making its final tour through your sign, opening doors and showering you with profound insight. Carving out time for inner listening – particularly in nature – will help you make the most out of this important transit. With your ruling planet, Neptune, currently in retrograde, you are inspecting where you have been deluding yourself and perhaps living more in fantasy than reality. Venus moving into Virgo helps you ground and stay focused on the here and now.
