July Horoscopes: Cultivating Resilience and Connection

All Signs

Sometimes strength shows up in soft, subtle, and inward ways. We’ve gone from the rush and push of diving into the year of the horse and now we settle into a more gentle approach. This phase of the year invites us to come back to our own inner rhythms and come full circle to remembering how we are each connected to a greater whole. This also means that instead of catering to the negativity that surrounds us, we turn our gaze inward and come back into alignment with the natural cycles, patterns, and behaviours of the earth and the universe. Invite joy, connection, and bring your awareness back to your personal growth and that of your immediate community. Take time to refine how you move, dance and play, in those spaces.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You’re tired of the same old story. You want to create new memories and go against the grain. So, let yourself be the rebel this month. Stop compromising yourself to please others. Instead, follow your heart and your gut. Make the changes you know need to happen in order to create a better life for yourself and your loved ones. The more you own your desires and intentions, the more you will attract those who can help you move closer to your goals. This means the stories that you tell yourself need to change. Instead of being stagnant, stale and boring in their narrative, let those stories be about adventure, co-creation and joy. Let them echo forward and backward in time, allowing you to draw from past knowledge while supporting your future Self.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

You’ll have to dig deep and stay strong this month, dear Taurus. July is not the time to rush things or make big decisions. Keep decisions practical and focussed while standing strong in your intentions, morals, and ethics. Some part of you doesn’t feel safe enough step into co-creative spaces and this hyper independence is costing you on both a personal and professional level. This means the universe is forced to show you all the ways in which you are sabotaging yourself, so you’ll let go to your own inner knowing. Surrender to the fact that you need the support that comes from co-creation and open permission to the idea that your heart is ready to heal from past trauma and open to love once again.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

July sees you feeling driven to give back to your community and help make the world a better place. You might want to dive in and advocate for every cause that comes your way, but you’ll find more long-term success if you slow down and take the time to discern and assess. Where do you want to focus your energy, and why? What matters to you and what feels right? Use this month to refine and clarify your thoughts and intentions. Find causes and organizations that are in alignment with your morals and values. And remember that it’s just as important to nurture and take care of yourself as it is to do so for others. You have a vision within you of a world where everyone is fed, housed, and has equal opportunity, so how can you best achieve that from where you are right now?

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

What is your definition of nourishment, dearest Crabby? What methods do you “believe” you should use to nurture your body, heart, and mind, and what methods are true to your innermost being? What you have been taught by loved ones and society may not actually benefit you. In fact, they may be creating unseen barriers to your success. While this might all sound logical to your mind, it may not be registering on an emotional level. This part is key. Healing and letting go of cultural and societal beliefs about how we care for ourselves and others is no simple task and requires us to feel our way through the muck before we make our way back to the light. Create time and sacredness for emotional release and honour your own process with gentle loving kindness.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You won’t let others see this part of yourself, but you’re having to practice some pretty strict self-discipline this month, aren’t you? Some part of you doesn’t wanna: doesn’t want to always be vigilant, doesn’t want to do the inner work (you’d rather just play in the summer sun), and doesn’t want to adult in general. However, you are experiencing a push from the inside out. The universe is teaching you to trust your intuition and observe yourself with both a micro and macro lens. This will lead to cultivating resilience and the ability to move through life with grace. You are the creator of your own reality and you are learning to act with intention instead of believing you are a victim. All of this takes discipline and intention, and maybe sometimes you have to fake it till you make it, but that’s ok. You are an inspiration to others, so remember that how you conduct yourself now will help others to embark upon similar journeys of growth and change.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

July brings you an opportunity for growth and change, dear Virgo. Seize it with both hands, jump in with both feet, and intend for harmony on a journey in which your only certainty is the shared vision for a better world. You’ll have to do some letting go of certainty and permanence, though. You’ll have to surrender and adapt and be present within each and every moment. Don’t worry about the details right now. Instead, keep your sights set on the big picture and the long term. Look for signs in the form of conversations that light you up and synchronicities that place you in situations you never would have expected. And if you start to feel lost or uncertain, take time for activities that help you feel grounded in your body and bring harmony to your heart and mind.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Turn your attention to inward learning, dear Libra. Try to look at the sudden changes that are taking place as a chance to understand yourself on a deeper and more profound level. Open the door to all those long-kept secrets that you keep from experiencing self-actualization. The more you resist and wish for things to be easy or “how they were in the past”, the more you’ll be hit with bad news or things not going your way. You are not being punished, you are being invited to expand and embrace the fullness of who you are. Excavate to the root of your fears with the curiosity of an archeologist. See that you are the result of societal conditioning just as much as the next person. You are not alone and you have the ability to heal and enjoy a life of heartfelt connection.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

It’s not over yet. You’re going to have to stay vigilant for a little while longer. Keep honing and refining your morals and values and what matters to you. Try not to get lost in semantics. Instead, allow yourself to go deep, no matter what others have to say about it. You are gathering information and resources with which to fortify and make yourself stronger and more resilient. Be discerning and intentional when exploring, expressing, or defending your own beliefs. Make sure you are speaking from your truth and avoid being flippant or hyperbolic. Each word, each act, each conversation is a potential seed that will grow and have a lasting impact on your identity and feeling of self worth.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

In true Sagittarius fashion, you are bursting onto the scene, making an entrance, and moving full-steam ahead. You are filed with new ideas and the energy that comes with new and exciting adventures. There will likely be moments where it feels like maybe you bit off more than you can chew and self-doubt will try to creep in, but don’t let it. This phase is akin to when a woman enters transition in labour. Fear of the unknown can take over, but there is nothing to do but surrender and allow birth to take place. You are bringing a new (ancient and forgotten) version of yourself into the world. Although things might feel a little confusing and out of control at times, you are on the right track and you have the full support of your Higher Self and the Universe. Remember, excitement creates the same physiological symptoms as fear. You’ve got this.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You are building your life from the ground up, aren’t you? Starting over is never easy, but it can also be freeing. You have the ability to be whoever you want to be and create whatever you want to create. Your life is a blank page upon which you can draw/paint/write whatever your heart desires. And if you allow it, the universe will bring you exactly what you need. Just remember that the only way to truly move forward is to lead with integrity. In other words, whatever direction you decide to go in and whatever you decide to do, do it with the highest good of yourself and everyone around you in mind. Reverting to old ways of doing things because it is comfortable and easy will only mean that doors close and opportunities pass you by. Where do you want to be a year from now? How do you want your life to look? And most importantly, how do you want to feel?

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Your world might feel like it’s falling apart, when in actuality is composting so that something new can grow. You are in the midst of a journey that will lead you to a better understanding of your own power. You have within you an inner rebel and innovator, one who has the capacity to see the big picture and a path toward collective peace and harmony. However, some part of you has been lost for quite some time. Somewhere in your past you chose to take the easy path because change felt overwhelming. That decision has come back to haunt you, but in a good way. If you let yourself feel all the underlying reasons you turned away from your own becoming and allow that Self to heal, you’ll create space for an “Aha!” moment more profound than you ever thought possible.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

There are some things that are not working out how you imagined they would, and that’s ok. Take a step back and observe your life and what you are creating from a broader perspective. Though you may have to postpone some of your ideas, ambitions, and goals right now, that doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to pick them up again in the future. Community is still the goal here and you are finding your place within it. Bring your attention back to what you are creating on a personal level. What can you do with your own hands and imagination. It’s not worth getting tangled in the drama webs of others because you long to weave a shared vision. Let the right time, people, and place make their way to you while you stay true to your original vision.
