July will bring a shift in how you perceive yourself, your physical appearance and your identity. Venus will enter Gemini on July 4th, closely followed by Uranus on July 7th. Although Venus’ moving through your sign only will last a month, her grace is sure to beautify anything she touches. You might find yourself buying a few pieces of new clothing, make up or even trying a different haircut. You’ll feel more confident in your wit and easy charm during this time. On the other hand, Uranus entering your sign will mark the beginning of a 7-year-long period, during which your relationship with yourself will be entirely transformed. During this time, you might find yourself acting out of character, wanting to break the rules you have followed so far in life and that sort of unexpected rebellion will make you feel alive. This means you’ll be testing out new ideas of living and presenting yourself in the world. It will be a time of discovery of things you didn’t know about yourself and didn’t think possible. Despite rattling the ground you’re standing on, towards the end of this lengthy transit, you’ll feel unafraid of existing in the world as your most authentic self.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th will illuminate what has been kept in the dark for the past few months. It might be a secret of yours or your friends’. Alternatively, it could bring news regarding your family or living situation. If you’re investing, you’ll have some important calls to make regarding your assets, especially those you share with others. Whichever of those options appears, this full moon will require being organised and structured, maybe even at short notice, and this could make you feel extra tense and stressed during these couple of days.
The New Moon in Leo on July 25th will be in the company of mercury retrograde. This is likely cause you to reflect on the way you communicate with others and evaluate what about your communication style might be causing issues. It could appear in the context of your living arrangements, causing some back and forth that might need to be revisited later. It could be issues with your flatmates or your landlord, or your spouse not being quite on the same page as you. You should be able to use some of your wit and charm to smooth out any bumps, and Venus will support you in those endeavours.
As Jupiter is travelling through Cancer for the next 12 months, you’ll feel more security around your finances and using them wisely could help to ease any tensions you might be experiencing at home. You might find that this is a good time to apply for a new job or that your current workplace is supportive of your career progression. Your spouse might also be able to help you out financially. However, as you both are taking a closer look at your bank statements and trying to save more, it can affect the amount of free-spirited fun you’re having together and bring your moods down. Make sure you find other ways of re-connecting – spending evenings at home doesn’t have to be boring if you engage with films and podcasts that you can talk about. You can even set up a regular weekly movie night with a specific theme in mind. The spotlight will be on communication and there is none better than a Gemini with a quicksilver mind to find creative new ways to do this! By the end of the month, Venus will move into Cancer on July 31st, providing extra support for your wallet and allowing you a little bit of indulgence!
