In with one month and out with the other; your July 2020 horoscope is here. July means you’re in the thick of summer. The heat is pulsating, the passion is raw and the world feels lit on fire. In fact, this month is brimming with so much life that you might start it off feeling like an eager caterpillar, waiting patiently in its cocoon before spreading its colorful wings and flying away.
As the sun transits the emotional, nostalgic water sign of Cancer while Mercury retrograde is underway, the month begins with a period of introspection, reflection and review. If you’re feeling a bit scatterbrained and sloppy, it’s no wonder. Mercury retrograde takes you back in time, making it difficult to think ahead or start anything new. However, Mercury Rx can be a great time to add the finishing touches to any existing projects and get a sense of closure from your past!
Said past will really creep in when Saturn retrograde—which began on May 11—re-enters Capricorn on July 1. Since Capricorn is associated with authority, karma and boundaries, you may be facing the consequences of some of your actions, but don’t be nervous! You’re doing so much spiritual healing, especially when wounded Chiron—planet of the recovered strength—stations retrograde on July 11. Remember: you’re a constant work in progress, and tomorrow is always a new day.

Speaking of new days, a life-changing lunar eclipse in Capricorn will take place on July 5 at 12:44 a.m. ET. This is the last eclipse of the Cancer-Capricorn series that began in 2018, so you will likely have a major revelation or experience a sense of finality to a chapter in your life. Since Capricorn is all about self-sufficiency, you may feel like you’re being forced to grow up way too fast. However, anything that happens during an eclipse was always meant to happen and it will always be something you can handle. By the time you fully process the shift, you’ll feel proud of yourself for doing so.
Get ready to come back to life when Mercury stations direct on July 12. This will help you think more clearly, communicate more directly and plan for the future! And when the new moon in Cancer provides you with a clean slate on July 20, you’ll have the opportunity to set an intention and let it guide you forward. Speak your desires into reality!
When the sun enters creative, vivacious, romantic fire sign Leo on July 22, it will jumpstart a season of laidback excitement where positivity flows toward you with ease. After all, the month ends with a magical (and rare) transit known as Jupiter sextile Neptune. Jupiter is expansive and optimistic, while Neptune is dreamy and compassionate. Open your heart to beauty and it will most definitely arrive.
