Weekly Horoscopes July Week 2
Strap on your heavy-duty hiking boots, cosmic cuties; this week is a star-studded wilderness expedition where you’re asked to dip into your backpacks and summon your resources for the road trip ahead. But instead of blood, sweat, and tears, it’s sweet diamond mining and sisterhoods of the traveling pants. Attack challenges with vigorous tenderness, lean back into your network, and be ready to discover brave new worlds.
We start off the week with the Sun in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn, and it’s a last stand aspect that challenges us to find any area where we’re not fully living or trusting in our competence and get it gone. Don’t think you’re good enough, powerful enough, beautiful enough? Stalk these old stories down and smoke 'em out of their holes like the boss lady huntress you were born to be.
The wilderness work starts to lighten by the weekend, when Mercury in sparkle and shine Leo joins Jupiter in Libra. It’s a glowy rainbow aspect that allows us to soften our approach and dive into the romance of it all—whether it’s self-love, platonic partnerships, or simply reveling in the beauty of a creative project.
When the Moon enters Aries the following day, it’s full firecracker force ahead. Fluff it up, freshen it up, and have fun with futurism. Imagine an all-night costume party where you can celebrate every possible version of yourself—even the parts you haven’t even met yet. It’s never too late to begin again...
1/12CANCER :: CANCER RISING
Rallying Cry: When I unravel the old stories, I skyrocket into the future.
Power Moves: Grow down to grow up this week, little mermaid. We know you’ve got a serious penchant for the past (from scrapbooking to full-on hoarding), but this week let your past life expeditions help you skyrocket into the future. Dig under those baseboards and hunt down any stories that are holding you back—especially any entrenched relationship patterns you may have gotten into. This could be anything from shaking up date night with a long-term lover, or directly confronting a friend about feelings you’ve buried for too long. Honor all the selves you’ve been, bless 'em all, and then practice wearing them oh so lightly so you can step into the sun-scorched glow of a brand new day. Trust that your past doesn’t need to be clung to like a last-chance life raft. Let it flow and let it go. You’re the strongest swimmer around.
2/12LEO :: LEO RISING
Rallying Cry: Stripping down to my bareness is the most radical act of beauty.
Power Moves: We all know you love a glamorous runway show, cosmic kitten. But sometimes all this fluffy catwalking actually leaves you feeling small. When the party’s over, when the friends are gone, what happens when you look in the mirror and see yourself bare without the glitter paint? This week is all about stripping it down and really loving up on yourself in your quieter moments. Practice radical body love. Take a part of yourself that you shy away from and wish were different and treat it like the most glorious piece of art. How can you see it is a part of your creative whole—perfectly conceived and necessary to the person you are? How can you soften your gaze as you look upon yourself? Try super soft pastels and subtle bronzers this week. Or anything that gets you bare—maybe it’s a makeup free day, even if it’s only in the comfort of your room. Trust that softening your approach to your own beautiful body is going to be the trampoline that catapults you into new dreams and versions of yourself.
3/12VIRGO :: VIRGO RISING
Rallying Cry: Tapping into my sweet senses helps me birth things into being.
Power Moves: It’s a rich witch week for you, dear Virgo, and you’re asked to creatively repurpose materials you already have on hand. You’re the zodiac’s master chef, who can take a basketful of random groceries and create a full feast. Trust into that capacity. And trust your gut. You’re an earth goddess after all. Get sweetly animalistic. Look around your environment and see what you can use. See it in a brand new light. Wake up to the multiple functions of everything that surrounds you—even your more difficult emotions. Pour them into another container. Treat it like an emotional chemistry experiment. See what brand new substances you can produce out of what lives inside of you. Birth things into being. Let the world hear your roar.
4/12LIBRA :: LIBRA RISING
Rallying Cry: I am a rock solid diamond with nothing to prove.
Power Moves: It’s a home inspection week for you, Libra, and you’re being asked to really assess how solid your ground is. What structures do you have in place that truly support the badass you’re becoming? See where you feel like you’re on hard-packed earth and then expand from there. Do daily health rituals help you feel solid? Practice eating hearty meals that fill you up from the inside out. Or maybe it’s time alone that refuels you. Whatever it is, create more of the things that help you feel your muscles and your beautiful diamond self—that quality of being a brilliant stone in the rough with nothing to prove at all. From this place, you can begin to initiate partnerships that fully support this rock solid being.
5/12SCORPIO :: SCORPIO RISING
Rallying Cry: Getting witchy and weird lets me widen my lens.
Power Moves: Paint stars on the ceiling and practice some serious magic this week, Scorpio. Get mystical. Get “out there.” Get totally woo woo and witchy AF and don’t apologize for it. The answers this week are far out beyond your logical mind. Treat the “unreal” world with as much respect and reverence as you would the so-called real. Build altars dedicated to the person you’re becoming. Dream journal. Try a new healing technique and really give yourself over to it. Your sign is on a life-long journey to loosen the controls and this week, it’s all about sloughing off old layers in a way that feels dreamy rather than arduous. Imagine alternative futures for yourself. Widen the lens. Write yourself into an epic fantasy story. Let the old come undone because you’re creating so much of the new that you cannot help but start to learn new steps. Dance.
6/12SAGITTARIUS :: SAGITTARIUS RISING
Rallying Cry: Discovering my mission feels easy and breezy when I let myself fly.
Power Moves: This week is right where you like it, gypsy Sag—heading straight into the stratosphere. Saddle up your ponies and race off into the wild world. It’s a perfect week for really tapping back into what lights you up. Beyond career with a capital C, what are you here to bring to the world? Where do you feel completely in your flow? Listen in closely to when you feel completely aligned and in your skin—those moments where you’re easy, breezy, and downright glowing, and people just gather around you to catch some rays. And then create from this place: follow this lead, one foot in front of the other. You don’t have to figure it all out. You don’t have to even get too pragmatic about it now. One of your greatest strengths is wide open, expansive dreaming, and this week you can totally start from this place and just see where it leads you. Go far out beyond the known roads and just fly.
7/12CAPRICORN :: CAPRICORN RISING
Rallying Cry: I feel like a Queen when I seize what's rightfully mine.
Power Moves: You love a long haul climb, sweet goat. And this week the pinnacle is even closer than you think. But the final push doesn’t have to come from your sheer effort as you battle the elements. The push is not a push at all, but a slow, delicious, internal evolution. Notice where you hold back from fully celebrating your competence. Where you action something in the world to prove to yourself that you are powerful. And dial it back just a little. Shift from intrepid mountain warrior to regal queen in her jeweled throne who just rules because it’s natural. It’s her birthright. Seize what’s rightfully yours.
8/12AQUARIUS :: AQUARIUS RISING
Rallying Cry: I harness my hidden resources to purge the pieces that aren't working.
Power Moves: It’s a badass week for you, outer space explorer, and you’re being invited to really dig deep into your arsenal of tools. Really put on your headlamp and explore any places where resources are hidden—old skills that used to light you up, buried treasures that you’ve completely forgotten about. Remember what others value in you and what you value in yourself. Revisit old projects and triumphs and assess all the parts of you that made them possible. Revisiting these past achievements will give you the courage to really speak out about relationships and parts of your life that aren’t working. Of all the zodiac signs, you know how to diversify the best. Tap into this complex rainforest biosphere this week and really celebrate every shade and flavor of your own rainbow. You’re more powerful than you know, and the world needs your wet and wild approach.
9/12PISCES :: PISCES RISING
Rallying Cry: Crystal clear boundaries help me steer my dreamboat.
Power Moves: It’s a powerhouse week for you, little fishy. Start by getting crystal clear about your desires. Clean up any lazy hazy sludge that’s blocking you from seeing what you really want. Quiet the noise and go inward. Clean out your closets. Up your style game with super minimalistic lines and bright whites that pop and fizzle. Sharpen your tools and your edges. You’re notoriously slippery about your boundaries and this week it’s time to bring the pool party to a close and practice steering the ship instead. Draw necessary lines. Practice saying “no.” Feel into friction that isn’t about useless fighting and spinning your angry wheels, but is about saying a big fat juicy “yes” to your own power and wants.
10/12ARIES :: ARIES RISING
Rallying Cry: Refueling my engine re-ups my potential.
Power Moves: It’s a week for working with balance—whatever that means to you, fierce and fiery extremist. You often have a no-holds-barred, risky approach to the world and can exhaust yourself thoroughly with your full-throttle engine revving. Think of this week as a pit stop on the race track. Figure out how to enjoy the ride again. Unzip your jumpsuit a little bit and dose yourself in water. Hydrate for the journey ahead. Assess the upcoming curves in the track. This doesn’t have to be about precious self-care, which you sometimes balk at. Instead, get toughly tender with yourself. Consider that you’re in training. Strategize. One of your secret superpowers is finding the newness in things. Freshen up so you can spark it up even bigger and bolder when the time is right.
11/12TAURUS :: TAURUS RISING
Rallying Cry: Getting down to business feels downright delicious.
Power Moves: It’s a hard-working holy week for you, bovine bombshell, and it’s time to roll up your sleeves and break a sweat. Pay attention to the details. Don’t leave any gemstones unturned. But notice how putting in the effort can feel super delicious and powerful. You are building an incredible castle, brick by precious brick. You just need to keep on. While you’re at it, notice how your life force can light others up like Christmas. One of your most valuable skills is your ability to just trust it all and enjoy the present. Notice how much others love this. Bring a dish to the picnic and revel in how you can feed others with your wisdom and your easefulness. The work doesn’t need to be hard. It can feel like coming in for a landing. Like resting in a home space where you are a valued participant who has something to contribute. Revel in that feeling.
12/12GEMINI :: GEMINI RISING
Rallying Cry: I step into the spotlight and banish the shadow drama.
Power Moves: No more drama this week, rainbow butterfly. Be curious about where you drum up extra, unnecessary emo energy and clear it out. Clear out your contact list of people who don’t fully see you in all your glory. And notice where you might be secretly competing with a friend. Know that there’s more than enough to go around and that you’re more than enough. You’re totally worth it. Don’t sell yourself short or cheat yourself or others. Practice transparency. Slip into a diaphanous maxi dress or cut-out swimwear and revel in the straightforwardness. Be direct in your approach to partnership. Say it like you mean it. You are ready for the bright and shiny and new. But you’ve got to create the light yourself. Trust in your own megawatt potential to illuminate it all.
