July 2022 Astrology Forecast and Love Tips For Every Zodiac Sign

July brings us the elements of Water and Fire, with the Sun in Cancer and Leo. The water sign of Cancer creates a sensitive and empathic aura, making us aware of how others are feeling during these trying times. The fire sign of Leo encourages us to act in terms of self-care and replenishing our energies as caregivers. 

The planetary aspects of Mars in Taurus will allow us to relax and be less impulsive, which will enable us to think before leaping into superhero mode.

We find ourselves slowing down, though not necessarily stopping our erratic and intense energy, but managing with a bit more self-control. We may also see ourselves being a bit more emotional and overthinking during this period.

July 2022 Monthly Astrological Forecast

The positions of the planets play an important role this month, so let’s start by taking a deeper dive into the various transits and what you can expect as a result.

Personal Planetary Transits for Sun Signs, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars

Sun in Cancer (June 21, 2022 - July 21, 2022)

During the Sun in Cancer, it is an ideal time to focus on our family, loved ones, and home environment. We may find ourselves wanting to socialize but inviting folks to our place rather than trek too far off our comfort zone. July is an excellent time to focus on home improvements and decluttering projects (at least start them). Keep in mind, taking care of the home is also about taking care of yourself and your family, so enjoy this process.

Sun in Leo (July 22, 2022 – August 21, 2022)

The Sun enters Cancer in mid-June, allowing us to regain some focus, slow down, and recover from our supercharged energy of Sun in Gemini. You find yourself wanting to stay home a bit more, relax with the family or close friends. You may still want to socialize, but you prefer being close to home. During Sun in Cancer, it is an excellent time to get things done at home, take care of your personal needs, and enjoy your time doing simple things. On June 27th, we have Mars in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius; there is a desire to regain some of the control you might have lost during Sun in Gemini when you were more prone to socializing. During this sextile aspect of Mars and Saturn, you will direct your energy towards finishing tasks and creating results.

Mercury in Gemini (June 14, 2022 - July 7, 2022)

During the transit of Mercury in Gemini, there is a strong need to express our ideas and views with others. Even individuals who are typically shy and quiet may feel a bit more comfortable communicating their opinions. Mercury, who rules Gemini and Virgo, influences communication, travel, problem-solving, and negotiation strategies.

Mercury in Cancer (July 7, 2022 – July 20, 2022)

The placement of Mercury in Cancer tends to be influenced by emotional needs. Communication can run the gamut from being heart-felt to emotionally triggering. Individuals are sensitive and prone to emotional roller coasters during this transit. It is also a period of inspiration and intuitive flashes. It is an exciting time to express your creativity and take time to recharge since you will be a bit more emotionally vulnerable.

Mercury in Leo (July 20, 2022 – August 5, 2022)

The transit of Mercury in Leo allows us to take care of ourselves in ways that others may misunderstand. During this period, you will find yourself advocating for yourself and those you love when it comes to this transit. You will find yourself unable to stand quietly and allow others to get away with treating you poorly, which means you may encounter opposition from others who are used to getting their way.

Venus in Gemini (June 24, 2022 – July 19, 2022)

The cycle is about fun and personal freedom. Individuals may want to socialize more but are not willing to be confined or restricted by traditional standards. You may find yourself craving change for the sake of change during this time. It is an excellent time to begin decluttering projects, releasing toxic associates, and simply enjoying yourself without self-judgment.

Venus in Cancer (July 20, 2022 – August 11, 2022)

During this period, you will have a more profound need to connect with others on a deeper level. You will find yourself being able to communicate with others with compassion and deep awareness. Venus brings out the need for bonding and emotional closeness, making you feel vulnerable at times. If you are in a relationship, this period can help strengthen bonds; it makes you open to meeting others if you are single.

Mars in Aries (May 24, 2022 - July 7, 2022)

Mars is the natural ruler of Aries, which creates an intense surge of energy that gets expressed physically and at times quite passionately. Mars can foster both argumentative and passionate tendencies in individuals who are not typically outspoken or very assertive. It is a decent transit to get yourself motivated to do things you have been postponing or avoiding, such as starting a health-oriented regimen, getting to use that paid gym membership, or starting home projects. It is a wonderful time to do productive things or confront things you have avoided.

Mars in Taurus (July 7, 2022 - August 20, 2022)

While Mars may have overworked itself in Aries, it will chill out in Taurus. Mars does not necessarily become passive in Taurus, but it becomes more selective and less prone to reacting to things. There is a sense of reserving your energy for the big jobs and maintaining overall balance. It is a suitable time for finishing things you started and using your energy wisely.

Full Moon Aspects in July 2022

Full Buck Moon in Capricorn - July 13, 2022

The Full Buck Moon in Capricorn is in opposition to Sun in Cancer, creating a need to hold on to one’s views and refusing to let things go.
