July 2022 ‘Scopes
Aries
Aries, July is one of the most revolutionary months of 2022. Mars, the Planet of Action, is your ruling planet, and on July 5th it switches out of your sign (where it’s been for the past six weeks), and enters Taurus, for the next six weeks. That means that while you may have felt like time was running out in June and you had to get everything done pronto, you now are being offered the opportunity to take a deep breath this month, and reset yourself, and your priorities.
Chiron, the asteroid that represents our inner wounds, has been in your sign since 2018, and it’ll remain there until 2026. With Jupiter, the Planet of Expansion, about to begin its retrograde in your sign on the 28th (for the first time in 11 years), you will feel all the fiery momentum within you surging, particularly once Leo Season begins on the 22nd. But before we get to that, we have a Capricorn Full Moon on the 13th that activates your inner ram. It’s the type of full moon where you step into your big boss energy like none other — cutting off draining entanglements in both your career and love life.
Amidst all this magnificent change and evolution, a part of you just wants to be taken care of, Aries. Juno’s Retrograde in Pisces on the 25th gifts you the opportunity to lean into your sensitivity and let yourself be fully cared for. This is something you may not be used to, so at first you may push it away. But once Jupiter Retrograde in your sign begins on the 28th, the same day as the Leo New Moon, you won’t be able to push away your desires anymore. You’ll fully surrender to your abundance of blessings.
Taurus
Taurus, what would it take for you to transcend physical and mental limitations, and see yourself from a broader scope? With the North Node, the symbol of higher destiny, currently in your sign until July 2023, you’ll be able to access that state of being this month, Taurus. A major conjunction between Uranus (the Planet of Revolution) and the North Node in your sign occurs on the 31st of July, but because you’re so deeply influenced by Taurus energy, you’re likely to feel this conjunction as early as July 1st. It’s making you stand up for your rights, as well as the rights of your peers (and even those you don’t know) even more passionately than before.
You’re one of the leaders of this global revolution, and even if you try to just chill at home doing nothing, your mind will be working overtime when it comes to creating solutions. This is all powerful AF, but in order to truly make an impact you have to preserve your energy stores, and protect your energy, Taurus. That’s what the Capricorn Full Moon on the 13th will help you do. It’ll help you know your limits, and state your boundaries. This may have to do with family members that expect you to always lend a hand, or friends who always want to be around your pleasure-filled energy.
You have major moves you’d like to make before Jupiter shifts retrograde in Aries on the 28th, activating your spirituality and healing sector. You may go into hermit mode in August, so spend July in the role of the ultimate power player. Ready? Set? Go!
Gemini
Gemini, with Mercury and Venus both spending time in your sign during the first half of July, you’ll feel partly in your comfort zone, and partly submerged into the emotional currents of Cancer Season. July 2022 is about learning how to create a feeling of homeostasis, even if your external world appears to be going haywire. It’s all an illusion, as you’ve been seeing now that Neptune, the Planet of Fantasy, is spending its first full month retrograde in Pisces, a fellow Mutable sign. You’re being asked to tap into your powers of communication and flexibility this month, Gemini.
During the past two months, you’ve dealt with Mercury Retrograde, and this considerably slowed down some of your instinctive reactions — for good reason. It’s helped you decipher between the thoughts that exist simply because you’re bored, and the thoughts that exist because they must be written down, vocalized, or expressed in some direct matter.
This month is the month where everything you’ve kept within yourself must be let out. The Capricorn Full Moon the 13th could help you attract a significant financial and collaborative opportunity, where people recognize your activist and humanitarian talents, and want to reward you for them. Then, by the Leo New Moon on the 28th (which happens to be the start of Jupiter Retrograde), you may pick up a childhood passion, or start a hobby you’ve been meaning to try.
This decision will liberate you from the matrix and help you stay connected to your inner child.
Cancer
Cancer, it’s your birthday season and absolutely no one can f*ck with you. People often underestimate you and your powers of manifestation, but this is the month where your essence and aura does the speaking for you. You have nothing to prove — you simply are. And that’s super revolutionary, and deeply activating.
The Cancer New Moon energy continues for the first 10 days of July, making everything you touch or give your attention to turn to gold. That means you should be super selective and intentional about what and who gets your attention this month. This doesn’t mean you have to push everyone away, even if you get the smallest intuitive hunches that there’s something “off”. Not everything is as it initially seems… Neptune, the Planet of Fantasy, began its retrograde at the end of June, so you’ll be feeling tied to your past connections all month long.
Since the New Moon in your sign kickstarted a six-month fresh start for you, the month of July is about easing into this new portal rather than making assumptions and burning bridges. This is easier said than done though, because Jupiter will shift retrograde in Aries this month, and this is supremely fiery, fast reacting energy.
So if you haven’t taken the time to care for yourself and meditate during the calmer moments, you could end up losing your cool during retrograde season, and your impulsiveness may get the best of you, particularly once Leo Season starts on the 22nd. Not everything is worth your reaction this month, Cancer — so focus on what is.
Leo
Leo, it’s okay to not know what’s next. It’s also okay to not want to spend too much energy figuring out what’s next. The Cancer New Moon energy lingers as the month of July begins, and this activates your sector of spirituality, healing, and introspection. Plus, Mars, the Planet of Action, shifts out of your fellow fire sign of Aries on July 5, and enters Taurus for the next six weeks.
You’ll be in the mood to mellow out significantly, and it’s essential that you spend Cancer Season doing so, because your birthday season begins on the 22nd! Since Saturn, the Planet of Challenge, is spending yet another month retrograde in Aquarius (and Aquarius energy activates your partnership and marriage sector), it’s likely that you may run into some power struggles with people you love, but they can be resolved by the time the Capricorn Full Moon occurs on the 13th. Less easily resolved power struggles? The ones occurring on a political and global front.
As a Leo you have a supreme ability to tune out anything that doesn’t have to do with yourself and your evolution, but in this case, you may feel enraged by any collective ignorance, and inspired by collective momentum. You may want to add fuel to the fire by speaking your truth about your ideologies, but make sure you’re doing so in a way that doesn’t further alienate people from your messaging.
Saturn’s Retrograde in your partnership sector could lead to people misunderstanding your intentions, but once your birthday season begins on the 22nd, you really won’t care what other people think — you’ll be focused on moving in a heart-centered way that’s deeply aligned with your “why”. You are ruled by the Sun after all, so let your brilliant rays of light and warmth lead the way to liberation.
Virgo
Virgo, you’re always one to push through and complete your projects, but to what extent, and at what expense? These are necessary questions to ask yourself this July 2022, particularly during Cancer Season, when your emotional awareness is heightened due to the energy of the Cancer New Moon. Mars, the Planet of Action, shifts into your fellow Earth sign of Taurus on July 5, and this presents an opportunity to re-organize and create greater structure in your life. June had you speeding in the fast track, and while July will continue to bring major blessings your way, the only way you can truly recognize and honor them is if you take stock of everything you’ve already manifested so far.
The Capricorn Full Moon on the 13th is an ideal time to take several days to celebrate, because it will activate your sector of fate, true love, and adventure. Even if you don’t want to celebrate yourself, it’s likely that your secret or not-so-secret admirer(s) will hit you up in the four days before or after that full moon, and they’ll want to make you feel special. It’s once you allow yourself to be taken care of that you can be of better service to the world, Virgo.
As much as you may want to be on the frontlines of global protests, you have to make sure you’re listening to your body, staying hydrated, resting, and giving your mind time to meditate on topics other than tearing down the patriarchy. The start of Juno Retrograde in Pisces on the 25th may lead to you forgiving a past friend or lover who shows up in your life with a worthy apology — or alternatively, you may be the one who’s forgiven.
Libra
Libra, this month you may be in the mood to simplify your lifestyle considerably. You were very focused on your romantic life during June, because Mars, the Planet of Action, and sex, spent all month in the sign of Aries, activating your partnership sector. Now that Mars is shifting into Taurus on July 5, for the next six weeks, Libras will be more focused on psychological and spiritual merging and wellness, and this shift may spark revolutionary ideas within Libra’s consciousness. This is an ideal month to start a blog if you haven’t already, or post more regularly on Twitter.
At the end of the month, on the 28th, Jupiter will shift retrograde in Aries for the first time in 11 years, and you’ll already feel the pre-shadow effects of this retrograde this month, especially when it comes to your relationships. People will hit you with “you’ve changed”, and they may or may not mean it in a good way. Your mission, particularly around the Capricorn Full Moon on the 13th, is to focus more on how you feel about your own evolutionary journey, rather than getting caught up in how others are perceiving it.
It may not be until Leo Season starts on the 22nd that you’re fully able to shake off the need to receive validation and acceptance from others, so give yourself grace as you stay committed to your own path. Once Jupiter shifts retrograde on the 28th, the same day as the Leo New Moon, someone from your past is likely to re-emerge and completely take you surprise (most likely in a pleasant way), so get prepared for the unexpected…
Scorpio
Scorpio, July 2022 is one of the best months of 2022 for you. Blessings upon blessings upon blessings pouring into your life, and all you have to do is slow down enough to notice them. Slow down enough to be grateful for them. Slow down enough to receive and redistribute them. Slow down to simply be, without feeling to do everything at once.
Your inner activist was deeply riled up in June, when Mars, your ruling planet, spent time in its other ruling sign, Aries. Starting July 5, Mars shifts into Taurus, and this directs attention to your romantic partnerships, and all partnerships in general. Who can you fully trust? Who can you trust enough to forgive? Which aspects of yourself do you have yet to trust? These are all key questions that come up for you this month, and since you have some revolutionary ideas brewing within you, chances are you’ll want to open up to the right person or people, and receive their help bringing those ideas to life.
Resist the urge to go at things alone this month, Scorpio. You have many people on your side who want to see you win, and even people you haven’t yet met, but who know of you and speak highly of you. This may become evident around the Capricorn Full Moon on the 13th, but particularly during Leo Season, which starts on the 22nd. The best things you can do this month is to keep living your life in accordance with your values. If you crave simplicity, simplify your lifestyle. If you crave passion, romanticize yourself and your connections. If you crave reparations, connect with organizers who are doing the work, and use your platform to amplify their work.
Anything and everything is possible for you, especially since the South Node is in Scorpio for another year. Make magic happen!
Sagittarius
Sag, at the end of this month, your planetary ruler Jupiter will begin its 4.5 month retrograde, in the sign of Aries. Since you thrive off of fire energy as a fire sign, you may feel the effects of this upcoming reversal during the Cancer New Moon portal, and as the month of July kicks off. A part of you may feel like it’s a prime time to get your ducks in a row, because the second half of the year may have its share of plot twists on a personal and collective level.
Trust your instincts, Sag. It’s the revolutionary in you that’s speaking to you, from the future. Your higher self sees and knows insights that your current self is still catching up to… Once the Capricorn Full Moon strikes on the 13th, your sector of abundance and security is activated, and many Sagges may receive the job offer of a lifetime around this time. You’ve planted the seed six months ago, during the Capricorn New Moon, and now your faith in yourself, and in your abilities, is paying off.
The key is to not be stingy with your wealth, or be fearful that it’s going to disappear just as quickly as it arrived. Your mission this month, is to focus on sustaining an abundance mindset. It’s something you can often tap into, but when it comes to being fully rooted in it, it’s still a work of progress. But doing so is one of the most revolutionary acts you can do, because it helps you unplug from the fear-based programming of the matrix around you, and tap into the deep wisdom that exists within. By the time Leo Season begins on the 22nd, your self-confidence will be through the roof, and all that inner work you’ve been doing will significantly pay off.
Capricorn
Capricorn, you’ve been going through some radical shifts in your life this year, particularly last month when Saturn began its final retrograde in Aquarius (for the next 29 years). This is activating your sector of security and resources, so your relationship with money and wealth-building is coming into question, and it will continue to be a prominent theme in your life this month.
You’re one of the most private, reserved, guarded and mysterious signs of the zodiac, especially when it comes to your finances and how you appear to be wealthy, even if you’re not. But this month, and especially during Cancer Season, you’ll find that there’s power in vulnerability. There’s power in letting people know when you’ve been struggling. Once the Full Moon in your sign takes place on the 13th, you may experience such a breakthrough emotionally that you don’t even recognize yourself anymore.
Saturn and Pluto Retrograde may also lead to you having an “aha” moment where you actively apologize to someone you may have hurt in the past, even if you thought you’d keep a grudge or be bitter forever. This is because you are healing, and once Chiron, the asteroid that represents our inner wounds, shifts retrograde on the 19th, you’ll be able to see how far you’ve come since the New Moon in your sign at the start of the year.
Use Leo Season’s energy to fully celebrate yourself — get prepared for an abundance of wealth to enter your life starting the 22nd of July. And remember that wealth is more than just financial. Your health is also wealth, so take care of that above all.
Aquarius
How you holdin’ up, Aquarius? Saturn’s final retrograde in Aquarius is just getting started, and it’s throwing all of humanity for a loop — especially as we navigate polarizing topics such as the Roe vs. Wade reversal, as well as other issues regarding body autonomy, freedom of expression, and civil disobedience. Many Aquarians saw a lot of what’s going on socially and politically coming, years or even decades ago. That’s because not only are Aquarians the most forward-thinking, unconventional, and radical of all the signs, but we’re also in the Age of Aquarius (it began in 2012 and lasts for 2,000 years), which means Aquarius placements have been appointed a special mission here on Earth.
They’re here to not only help humanity awaken, but also organize itself efficiently, and collectively direct our intentions to a specific target, in order to combust systems that harm us more than they help us. Seems intense, huh? “With great power, comes great responsibility.” That’s what you’ll learn this month, Aquarius. Once the Capricorn Full Moon strikes on the 13th, your sector of spirituality and enlightenment is activated, and it’s likely that you’ll either share something on social media that goes viral, or someone will reveal a secret to you that’s potentially life-changing.
You suddenly will feel so inspired to change the way you move through life, potentially by focusing on the small acts you do everyday, such as where you tend to invest your money. You may radicalize people around you this month, by encouraging them to divest from oppressive systems, and invest in collective healing and mutual aid. By Leo Season, you’ll attract divine partners who are here to help you spread your mission near and far — and you may even fall in love or develop a deep friendship with one (or more) of them too!
Pisces
Pisces, Jupiter will re-enter your sign on October 28, 2022, and at the end of July it will begin its first retrograde in the sign of Aries. You’ll therefore be retracing your steps as you get closer to Jupiter’s re-entrance in your sign. Think back to where you were in July 2021, and what your goals, intentions, and overall experiences were like back then.
If there’s a chapter of your story that you’d still like to keep writing, or that you’d like to revisit, this is the month where you can either gain closure, or activate a new beginning, in the direction that you choose. But it all comes down to choice, doesn’t it, Pisces? Choice is a major theme for you. The Cancer New Moon’s energy permeates through the cosmos during the first 10 days of the month, and since Cancer energy activates your sector of fate, true love, and adventure, spend time setting new moon intentions that allow you to view pleasure as a form of activism.
Instead of letting your energy get drained by disturbing news meant to trigger and outrage, start or keep creating healing works of art that help heighten the collective consciousness. Mercury’s presence in Cancer this month will help you use your intuitive abilities strategically — you can get your point across by hitting people in their feels, rather than expecting logic or reason. You’re the leader of the revolution when it comes to healing from the inside-out, but this month, make sure you’re not overly pouring your healing energy into others.
Use the Capricorn Full Moon on the 13th of July to call your power back to yourself. Then, once Leo Season begins on the 22nd, you’ll be focused on your physical fitness and psychological wellness. You’ll feel more self-focused as the month of July rounds out, allowing you to weed out distractions, haters, or inconsistent connections. You deserve the world, Pisces.
