You might have to spend a lot of energy building bridges of trust with others this month. At the same time, you will probably need to keep a strong dose of faith in yourself and your abilities while also re-connecting to what (or who) inspires you.
This probably will be harder to figure out at the top of the month. Your sign’s planetary ruler, take-charge Mars, kicks off the month in retrograde. When a planet retrogrades, it’s time to reflect, regroup and re-orient key efforts. Mars is in the sector of your chart that can help you figure out how to collaborate better in groups or get work done with friends. If there’s a friendship that needs mending, it’s a good time to figure out what “hatchets” must be buried or unearthed to keep the friendship alive and thriving.
Charity work that emphasizes giving without any self-interested motives can also be very rewarding and uplifting now. This is particularly true when generous Jupiter moves out of his retrograde on the 11th. Keep an open heart and spirit. Your openness will allow the universe to stay open and receptive to you.
The full moon eclipse on the 13th will pull you toward a balancing act between sticking to security versus getting out of your comfort zone. What’s it to be?
Remember that not everything that appears to move backward is doing that in July. Sometimes things have to cycle through to recalibrate. That’s likely what’s happening with your goals and intentions for your aspirations. You probably have to give more attention to details. Or change up your routines. Light-hearted Venus will likely help when she moves into your routine and daily life sector on the 10th too.
If you’re honest about your needs and expectations, then you might find it easier to gather support and inspiration when Venus faces off against dreamy Neptune on the 25th. Then the fiery Leo solar eclipse on the 27th will likely push you more toward expressing what rings truest in your heart.
