July 2023 Astrology

July is a month of true love, friends, fun, success and wealth. The month begins with the Sun travelling in the sky with Mercury (communication) and Juno (devotion), in the sign of Cancer. Nourishing, loving and devoted communication is the major theme of this transit so expect some heartfelt conversations. Mars (drive), Venus (love), Pallas (wisdom) and Lilith (shadow-self) are also travelling together in the sky, in the sign of Leo making it a month full of love, romance and happiness.

Major planets are retrograde this month so it’s also a month where internal dialogue takes place, and a month where many aspects of the past are revisited. The past, as far back as 2008, is bound to come up if there are any loose ties. Themes from COVID-lock down will also be up for revisitation so pay attention!

July 3 marks the full moon at 11° Capricorn, occurring at 6am in Fernie. There will be some internal emotional intensity with this moon as Pholus, the asteroid that intensifies the energy it comes into contact with sits in conjunction. A theme of beauty, elegance and aristocracy is related to the moon at this degree, alongside a major theme of devoted and loving communication of these emotions.

July 17 brings the new moon at 24° Cancer -exact alignment at 11am in Fernie. This moon is bound to be emotional as Cancer is the most emotional sign of the zodiac. The theme of this is interdependence and our actual truthful need for each other. Many planets at this time are in Leo so expect a joyous time of love, romance and fun.

July 23 is a major shift in energy as the Sun enters Leo (happy, jovial, grandiose, heartfelt) while at the same time Venus and Chiron turn retrograde- it seems like we’ll look back into something that occurred in May and June.
