July 2026 Horoscope

🌟

July kicks off the heart of summer with a mix of sizzle and slight mayhem. The month begins under Mercury retrograde (continuing from the very end of June), which means those first few weeks come with the usual tech glitches and schedule hiccups. Travel plans might require extra patience – if you’re heading on a summer vacation, double-check reservations and pack an extra phone charger. The key is to keep your cool when minor frustrations arise. Luckily, the cosmos brings plenty of warmth and joy to balance out any retrograde fuss.

One major cosmic headline: On July 1, expansive Jupiter strides into charismatic Leo, setting a glamorous tone that lasts for months to come. Jupiter in Leo is like a marquee lighting up, announcing grand opportunities to shine. You’ll likely feel a surge of confidence and creativity building this month. It’s time to put your talents front and center. Whether that means pitching a bold idea at work, revamping your personal style with extra flair, or throwing an epic summer party just because – go for it. Jupiter’s move signals permission to live large and celebrate who you are unabashedly. After all, Leo is the sign of the star, and with Jupiter here, we’re all invited to step onto the stage of life and dazzle a little more.

In the early part of July, the Sun is still in gentle Cancer (until July 22), keeping us attuned to home and heart even amidst the social whirl. On July 14, a New Moon in Cancer offers a tender moment for emotional renewal. This is a beautiful time to set intentions related to family, living space, or self-care. You might decide it’s time to move to a place that truly feels like home, or simply redecorate and refresh your current abode. Relationships with parents or children could also get a sweet new chapter – perhaps a heartfelt conversation clears the air, or a fun family reunion is planned. Use this new moon to nourish your roots. In the flurry of summer activities, a little sentimental pause to honor what truly matters will ground you.

By later in the month, the vibe shifts from cozy to flamboyant. Leo season begins on July 22, and as Mercury wakes up from retrograde on July 24, it’s full speed ahead for fun. The last week of July is cosmic green lights all around. Communication smooths out, plans start clicking, and any misunderstandings from earlier weeks resolve. With the Sun and Jupiter now both in Leo, the energy is downright celebratory. Creative projects take off. Romantic prospects heat up – singles might meet someone under dramatic, memorable circumstances, and couples find the spark rekindled by injecting more play into date nights. It’s the season of beach parties, bold moves, and letting your inner child (or inner diva) play.

Capping off the month, a Full Moon in Aquarius on July 29 shines its silver spotlight on your wider circle of friends and community. This full moon asks: how have you balanced “me” time with “we” time? After reveling in Leo’s personal glow, Aquarius reminds us that we shine brighter when part of a constellation. You might attend a significant social event near this date or collaborate with a group to bring a shared vision to life. It could also illuminate a cause or group project you’ve been involved in, reaching a fulfilling milestone. As July wraps up, you’re radiating confidence and feeling the love – both personal and collective. Despite a few early bumps, the stage is set for an unforgettable summer performance, starring you.
