Weekly Horoscopes July Week 3
Pump up the classic diva jams and get ready to sport your magenta heart on your ruffled '80s prom dress sleeve. This week the Sun and Mars enter Leo, and the zodiac’s glamour kitten offers us the glittering possibility of baring it all and falling hopelessly in love with the most innocent parts of ourselves. The challenge, if you choose to accept it: to become more of who you are already. And to risk the radical act of exposing this scorching-hot inner territory with the wide world.
The week starts out with powerhouse Mars squaring electric Uranus, and it’s a Hollywood starlet aspect that’ll have you summoning your fiercest inner drama queen. But let the drama burn cleanly rather than manipulatively — celebrate infusing your life with meaning, magic, and mythology by strutting down the street to a personal soundtrack, or slipping into clothing that makes your skin sing.
Sunday’s New Moon in Leo packs a creative punch and it’s the perfect chance to rediscover what it feels like to be in your “flow.” Whether that sweet sensation is harnessed on a thumping dance floor or in the quietest reaches of your private boudoir, tap into whatever ignites your spirit and gets your juices going. It doesn’t matter whether you’re standing up before thousands, or performing for an audience of one — this cosmic conversation is between you and your goddess. Sparkle, buff, and shine on exactly the way you want to.

Rallying Cry: Warming myself with my own heat is the gateway to expansion.
Power Moves: As if you couldn’t get any bolder, glamour puss, this week asks you to step directly into the floodlights and light the wintry masses with your tropical heat. But this week, it’s imperative that you warm yourself by your own fire first. Notice when you start to feel like you need a “hook” for your powers, whether that’s a certain response in relationship or accolades at work or in school. Notice where you feel like you need to be fluffed and then fluff yourself up. Make yourself purr. Become a one-woman tanning bed and revel in your own solar power. The world needs you. But you need you first. Listen in to your heartbeat. Claim loyalty to it. Invite it to curl up by the fire. Roast marshmallows with it. And then step out your door from that place and light the whole world with your glow.

In the stars: When I dissolve into my dream life, I can change my reality.
In your life: What happens out beyond the edges of your to-do list, Earth goddess? This week, use that paper for kindling, and get really curious about the things that can’t be seen or efforted. What can you create when you blur the boundaries, soften your focus, and melt the sharper edges down into liquid gold? Become an emotional alchemist and just let things dissolve a little bit. Leave the laundry undone. Tunnel under the sheets with your dream journal. Deck your sleep space out in purple crystals and journey into your own private jeweled cavern. Go down the rabbit hole. Fantasize about the life you think you can’t have or don’t deserve. Blow those barriers out of the water. And then dive straight into the waters that remain and just float.

Rallying Cry: By letting my freak flag fly, I discover my true tribe.
Power Moves: Dear English Rose … we know you love a well-orchestrated tea ceremony. Standards. An ideal vision to strive for. Buttons and laces and the finest, cream-colored china. This week challenges you to add some spice to your sugar. But know that you don’t have to storm the whole castle just yet. Start by adding just a little bit of pepper to the mix. Practice small acts of freakiness. Inject your look with some neon flashes. Spritz on an unfamiliar scent that leaves a trace. Investigate a cause that ignites your passion. When you’re ready, go to a lights-off dance party and get loose in the darkness. And then take to the streets and march it out. The ability to break it up, wake it up, and shake it up is going to lead you into communion with a tribe you never imagined possible. And together, you’ll finally transform the limiting beliefs of your old emotional regime.

Rallying Cry: Taking up space lets me lead the way for others.
Power Moves: Platforms. Stilettos. Boots that were made for walking. Whatever your choice of footwear, diamond miner, it’s time to werk this week. Strut. Take up space. Claim your right to inhabit whatever room you’re in. Notice that electrical sensation that runs through your body when you’re nervous about stepping out and stepping up. Those nerves are actually pure, raw excitement. Let every part of yourself come alive with that sensation. Seize an opportunity at work or in school. Speak out. Get bigger. Puff up. And remember that you are the zodiac’s deep diving queen of tough transformation. You were born to fight for the most vulnerable places inside of yourself so you can fight for the most vulnerable people in your life. You’ve got to pave the way through the darkness for the rest of us. You’re the only one who can show us that even our most hidden darkness is the secret source of our light. Shine on.

Rallying Cry: Being willing to change my mind is the wildest adventure of all.
Power Moves: Your sign’s mission is all about discovering the highest meaning in this wild ride of life. Philosophizing. Poeticizing. Seeking the religious and the mystical and everything inbetween. But sometimes, precious pony, you can become a bit of a zealot. Make sure your quest for the truth doesn’t end in a rigid belief system this week. Know that’s it’s possible to have solid credos and to also let those collide with the world. Let yourself brush up against new ways of being. Let yourself be challenged from every angle. Dive straight into a convo with someone you don’t agree with at all. Expose yourself to documentaries on subjects that usually send you running. Embrace the possibility of not knowing. Change your mind again and again. Let this process of editing your story be an adventurous act. Celebrate an ending that hasn’t yet been written. Nothing is final.

Rallying Cry: When things come undone, I harness my fullest power.
Power Moves: It’s a week for some serious dirty dancing Capricorn, and it’s time to bump and grind your way into the places that make your heart race. One of your greatest challenges, and thus one of your greatest potential strengths, rests in the rugged act of getting tender. We know you want to have it all together, boardroom bombshell. But this week presents you with an opportunity to see that when things “fall apart,” untapped resources are mined. When you take the gloves off and step out of the ring and strip down, you’ve got nothing to prove. This is the seat of your power. Get primal with it. Scream it out. Get intimate. Have a midnight heart-to-heart with an old flame about everything you never said (or write it out in a letter, even if left unsent). Let the mission straight into your own heart be your greatest wilderness survival test.

Rallying Cry: Dropping out of my head and into my heartspace lets my relationships sparkle and glow.
Power Moves: Your rational mind serves you well, cosmic astronaut. You can drift above all our messy human machinations and see the lay of the land. You’re a neon helicopter pilot whose gift is seeing for miles and miles. But this week, it’s time to come in for a landing all the way back down on earth. Practice getting personal. Notice the moments when you start to hot air balloon above your emotions. Hang glide onto their shores instead and notice that it can feel like a delicious tropical vacation in a foreign land. Learn the language. Slip into something more comfortable. Lay out your beach blanket and bask in the full sun of your feelings. Notice the gap between what you want people to be or do or say, and how they actually are. Let that gap become cavernous. Let it give you the precious freedom of allowing things to be exactly as they are. Let the real, irrational world fascinate you in all its colors and ragged edges. Respond with tenderness to the way things are right now.

Rallying Cry: I bow down at the altar of my beautiful body.
Power Moves: This week, it’s all about dropping down into the realness of your glorious body, dreamboat. But have no fear, you can bring your magical, mystical ability to this seemingly mundane plane. Get super sparkly about it. Create an altar to your most favorite colors, textures, and patterns. Mood board yourself into the stratosphere. Throw a makeup or costume party with friends and dive into the full range of possible styles. This isn’t about concealing or hiding anything at all — it’s about the glow and glamour you feel when you slip into something that makes you feel truly alive. And more importantly, let yourself be dazzled not just by how your body can look, but by what it can do. Become fascinated by how good you can feel when you follow your inner rhythm. Get physical. Even if it’s just a walk around the block. Let the simple act of working your leg muscles and feeling the sun on your skin bring you back to the basics of love.

Rallying Cry: Returning to my innocence fuels my most creative acts.
Power Moves: School’s out for the summer, little lamb, and it’s a week for ice cream sandwiches, late night dreaming on the stoop, and starting over. Just when you thought your chance had passed, it’s a moment to turn the page, clear the decks, and let yourself be completely and totally surprised by what could possibly come next. Get fresh with yourself. Lighten your backpack. Notice where you can clean the slate entirely and then just wait in Christmas day anticipation of what might fill it. You’re the zodiac’s original minimalista. See how you can apply this stripped down approach to every project and relationship this week. Become a playful little lovebug in a vast, unknown meadow. Get tiny. Let yourself be dazzled by every unfolding detail of your surroundings in real time. Know that it’s never too late to begin again.

Rallying Cry: Treasuring my personal past paves the way forward.
Power Moves: It’s a tucked in, rootsy week for you, bovine beauty. Hunker down and surround yourself with your treasures. Review your own personal past like a classic Hollywood film reel. Practice being a starlet in her boudoir. Read through old love letters. Step into the archives of your life and mythologize every moment. Draw up a family tree. Infuse even the most mundane moments with romance and drama. Get melancholy if you have to. Let crying it out feel like an interior juice cleanse. Spend lots of precious time just sitting inside of your feelings fully. Let it be like a spa day of personal sensations. Create elaborate rituals that honor every version of yourself. This journey into the interior doesn’t have to leave you feeling stuck though. Let honoring your history allow you to reclaim your place at the center of your life story. Believe in your legacy. And then, step back into the story, and keep living.

Rallying Cry: When I quiet the endless information buzz, I can hear the strength of my own voice.
Power Moves: You’ve gathered the facts. You’ve circulated among the blooms collecting your nectar. This week, it’s time to leave the karaoke booth and go out on an acapella mission. Notice where you hold back from making singular statements. Notice where you don’t want to risk standing apart because of your beliefs. Feel into the moments when you stuff your voice down, and the moments when the urge to sing becomes more powerful than your fear. To listen in, first you’ve got to get super quiet and still. Shut off your phone. Turn the lights down low. Listen in for the subtlest shifts. What is your message? What do you need to share? Once you’ve learned the notes, you can dial up your network. Sing it straight from the mountaintops. Your gift is your song. And the world wants to hear from you.

Rallying Cry: I create my own stability when I celebrate my 24-karat worth.
Power Moves: Amidst all your fluctuating emotional rhythms, sometimes it can feel like you’re lost at sea, sweet mermaid. But this week serves as a necessary reminder that you always carry your home on your back, hermit crab style. It’s a week for getting deliciously real about both making money and exploring related questions of self worth. Let your desire for beautiful things take you beyond any surface superficialism and towards the feeling that you are always worth it. When you truly trust in your inner vision, this has powerful consequences in the material world. Feel into the stabilizing sensations of really providing for yourself and showing up for yourself. Indulge a little bit. Get epicurious and celebrate with tastes and flavors that make you feel safe and loved. Forget the diet. Ditch the comparisons. Move deep into your pleasure center. Want what feels good to want.
