July will bring shifts in your worldview and some unexpected opportunities for foreign travel. Venus enters Gemini on July 4th with Uranus following into her steps on July 7th. Venus will breeze through the sign with her stay lasting only 4 weeks. That is not the case for Uranus, whose entry marks a beginning of a new 7-year period that will shake the ground underneath the beliefs you might have seen as set in stone. During this time unexpected opportunities for higher education and travel abroad are likely to come your way, even if you haven’t considered them before. You might feel drawn to trying new spiritual practices or engaging with philosophy – anything that stimulates you intellectually will make you feel electric and alive. Let curiosity be your compass. Towards the end of that long period, the way you perceive the world around you will be entirely transformed, in ways you hadn’t thought possible before.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th is going to bring to the surface tensions with your or your spouse’s living arrangements. You might find yourself battling some fears around sharing financial resources and splitting the house chores either with your partner or people you live with. You might be hesitant about moving in together, or you might feel the need to move out of your current place. It could be that your partner finds themselves in need of financial help because of their accommodation or family matters. Either way, you’re likely to seek solace in occupying your mind with your career. It seems to be going well now, thanks to Jupiter transiting through Cancer during the next 12 months. This is going to become even more of an escape towards the end of the month as Venus will move into Cancer too on July 31st.
A few days before, the New Moon in Leo on July 24th in the company of Mercury retrograde and opposition to Pluto will likely have you reminisce how you used to enjoy free-spirited trips abroad with your friends or your partner. You might find yourself missing that time. You might discover that it is your fears around managing your expenses that have been holding you back from jumping at any spontaneous travel opportunities. You might want to consider swapping long-distance travel for some shorter, local trips which could give you that little bit of extra excitement without breaking the bank. Remember your ability to bridge things that are seemingly at odds, there is no one more skilled in the art of creating the right balance than Libra, the living embodiment of the scales.
