July 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You’re in fine shape for relationships, hobbies, romance, entertainment, and special channels for self-expression in July, dear Capricorn. You dare to express yourself more freely, and your open spirit can bring new opportunities into your life. You’re combining your enterprising nature with a slightly bolder approach, bringing in new opportunities.
A major focus this month is your relationships. Sorting out problems and enjoying special moments with people in your life are satisfying activities in their own right, and they can also positively impact various aspects of your life. You also find more joy in your daily life and self-care for much of the month, improving the chances of a well-balanced period.
Venus moves through your work and health sector much of the month (from the 4th to the 30th). It’s a fine time to smooth over problem areas with your daily routines. Social or love opportunities may emerge as you pursue your work or health goals. Most importantly, you’re ready to create a better environment in your everyday life. Enjoying your work, chores, or routines can be in the spotlight. Combining work and play comes naturally and works well for you. There can be the excitement of redesigning or reorganizing your personal space.
Significant changes are on the horizon, affecting your daily life, routines, habits, and work due to Uranus moving into your solar sixth house just days after Venus moves in. You can be excited about new wellness programs that give you a sense of having a new lease on life. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is intense. Changes in routine can be in the spotlight. This Uranus transit is lengthy, although we’re getting only a hint of it this year (from July 7th to November 7th). With this transit, your work, chores, and daily routines can be unpredictable and unusual but also inspiring and exciting. You can bring fresh insight to your work, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic, and your energy and motivation levels tend to fluctuate as you struggle with inspiration.
Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself through your work and routines, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” Do your best to keep open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. Staying up-to-date with current developments in your field gives you a distinct advantage. This Uranus transit will kick in more consistently from April 2026 onward, but a preview of this energy begins now.
A personal project or matter reaches a head around the 10th when the Full Moon occurs in your sign. You can consider this time a personal awakening of sorts, and a significant person in your life or relationship status plays a large role in this. This can even be a situation in which you are motivated to do your best by a competitor or opponent. Observe, take notes, and allow your mind to open. It’s a good time to see yourself through others’ eyes and find ways to bring more balance and harmony to your life in general.
Mercury is either retrograde or in its retrograde shadow all month, so put off new contracts and enterprises, but keep yourself active reviewing and revising, adjusting and tweaking. Pay special attention to information surfacing and new insights into relationships on the 31st. You could be coming to new conclusions about past relationships or reconnecting with a person from your past. There can be a need to take a hard look at both spending and debts this month, or you could be waiting for information that seems clogged temporarily. This energy might manifest on an intimate level, and you may question issues of sharing, fairness, and power dynamics in a partnership, as you can now see significant discrepancies.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your sector of home base, family, and heart, but in July, all three bodies turn retrograde! Some initiatives in these life departments may slow down. Temporarily, until you sort things through, some of your commitments could seem less meaningful, which, by extension, can make them feel more challenging to fulfill. Domestic chores or problems in the family dynamic can weigh heavily on your mind, for example. It’s a time for going within and examining your intentions and frustrations. Pulling back from some projects or dreams can be strategic. Give yourself extra time to think, imagine, and reflect.
Even if some communication channels seem less effective in the second half of the month, the situation can motivate you to find new and creative ways to get your message across.
From the 22nd forward, there can be a surprising or sudden show of support, emotional or financial, or an unanticipated financial matter to manage. The Sun’s move into house eight in your solar chart brings a need for greater depth in your relationships and activities. A New Moon on the 24th suggests a fresh approach to these matters is now in order. This can be about moving along a new path, but it can also be about putting a mental focus behind you, particularly if you’ve been dwelling on a problem that has drained you of energy and kept you stuck in the past.
It’s also a beautiful time for applying yourself to projects that excite you. You can come into a resource that helps you work through a problem area or reach your goals.
The 30th brings Venus into your partnership sector — a happy placement that boosts your social life for several weeks. You’ll appreciate that your relationships are smooth sailing, allowing you to pursue your worldly or career goals with greater confidence.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
July 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house–your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It’s not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it’s a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It’s a strong period for putting yourself into another person’s shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From July 22nd forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 4th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From the 4th to 30th:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
From the 31st forward:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don’t verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It’s best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers’ errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.
Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can’t be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It’s best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it’s an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
July 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”.
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 13th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period.

From July 13th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now.

You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until July 5th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your “audience” in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others’ opinions and perspectives, and it’s an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From July 6th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It’s easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until July 4th:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It’s an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
From July 5th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:
July 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 11th:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence–your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn’t.
From July 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”.
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 22nd:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From July 22nd forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your “audience” in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others’ opinions and perspectives, and it’s an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It’s best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers’ errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.
Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on the choice of words instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, try not to over-react to what your partner has to say. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it’s a good cycle in which to reflect upon your negotiation skills with the goal of improving them. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 21st:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It’s an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
From the 22nd forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
Overview Horoscope:
July 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You’re in fine shape for relationships, hobbies, romance, entertainment, and special channels for self-expression in July, dear Capricorn. You dare to express yourself more freely, and your open spirit can bring new opportunities into your life. You’re combining your enterprising nature with a slightly bolder approach, bringing in new opportunities.
A major focus this month is your relationships. Sorting out problems and enjoying special moments with people in your life are satisfying activities in their own right, and they can also positively impact various aspects of your life. You also find more joy in your daily life and self-care for much of the month, improving the chances of a well-balanced period.
Venus moves through your work and health sector much of the month (from the 4th to the 30th). It’s a fine time to smooth over problem areas with your daily routines. Social or love opportunities may emerge as you pursue your work or health goals. Most importantly, you’re ready to create a better environment in your everyday life. Enjoying your work, chores, or routines can be in the spotlight. Combining work and play comes naturally and works well for you. There can be the excitement of redesigning or reorganizing your personal space.
Significant changes are on the horizon, affecting your daily life, routines, habits, and work due to Uranus moving into your solar sixth house just days after Venus moves in. You can be excited about new wellness programs that give you a sense of having a new lease on life. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is intense. Changes in routine can be in the spotlight. This Uranus transit is lengthy, although we’re getting only a hint of it this year (from July 7th to November 7th). With this transit, your work, chores, and daily routines can be unpredictable and unusual but also inspiring and exciting. You can bring fresh insight to your work, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic, and your energy and motivation levels tend to fluctuate as you struggle with inspiration.
Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself through your work and routines, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” Do your best to keep open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. Staying up-to-date with current developments in your field gives you a distinct advantage. This Uranus transit will kick in more consistently from April 2026 onward, but a preview of this energy begins now.
A personal project or matter reaches a head around the 10th when the Full Moon occurs in your sign. You can consider this time a personal awakening of sorts, and a significant person in your life or relationship status plays a large role in this. This can even be a situation in which you are motivated to do your best by a competitor or opponent. Observe, take notes, and allow your mind to open. It’s a good time to see yourself through others’ eyes and find ways to bring more balance and harmony to your life in general.
Mercury is either retrograde or in its retrograde shadow all month, so put off new contracts and enterprises, but keep yourself active reviewing and revising, adjusting and tweaking. Pay special attention to information surfacing and new insights into relationships on the 31st. You could be coming to new conclusions about past relationships or reconnecting with a person from your past. There can be a need to take a hard look at both spending and debts this month, or you could be waiting for information that seems clogged temporarily. This energy might manifest on an intimate level, and you may question issues of sharing, fairness, and power dynamics in a partnership, as you can now see significant discrepancies.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your sector of home base, family, and heart, but in July, all three bodies turn retrograde! Some initiatives in these life departments may slow down. Temporarily, until you sort things through, some of your commitments could seem less meaningful, which, by extension, can make them feel more challenging to fulfill. Domestic chores or problems in the family dynamic can weigh heavily on your mind, for example. It’s a time for going within and examining your intentions and frustrations. Pulling back from some projects or dreams can be strategic. Give yourself extra time to think, imagine, and reflect.
Even if some communication channels seem less effective in the second half of the month, the situation can motivate you to find new and creative ways to get your message across.
From the 22nd forward, there can be a surprising or sudden show of support, emotional or financial, or an unanticipated financial matter to manage. The Sun’s move into house eight in your solar chart brings a need for greater depth in your relationships and activities. A New Moon on the 24th suggests a fresh approach to these matters is now in order. This can be about moving along a new path, but it can also be about putting a mental focus behind you, particularly if you’ve been dwelling on a problem that has drained you of energy and kept you stuck in the past.
It’s also a beautiful time for applying yourself to projects that excite you. You can come into a resource that helps you work through a problem area or reach your goals.
The 30th brings Venus into your partnership sector — a happy placement that boosts your social life for several weeks. You’ll appreciate that your relationships are smooth sailing, allowing you to pursue your worldly or career goals with greater confidence.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decan regardless of your birthdate.
