Weekly Horoscopes July Week 4
After last week’s all-night, Leonine glamorama dance party, the glitter is settling and the light of day is peeking through the blackout curtains. But this doesn’t have to feel stifling or stalwart, cosmic queens. Instead, we can harness this new energetic force to ground into delicious rituals that support the fullness of our creative blossoming, even when the party’s seemingly over.
The main cosmic event happens on Tuesday the 25th, as Mercury, the planet of perception, shifts from Leo into Virgo. The zodiac’s so-called “Virgin,” this stellar bombshell is actually a potently self-contained, witchy woman who lives by her own code and doesn’t give it away for free (though the patriarchy co-opted this symbol long ago to try and rob her of her power). In her naturally ruling planet of Mercury, she’s asking us to get crystal clear about where our skills lie and where we’ve been letting our powers leak out.
With Venus opposing Saturn on Monday, and the Sun conjunct Mars on Wednesday, it’s a week for discovering our internal wildness and harnessing our untameable spirits to forge non-negotiable standards. So mount your barebacked horses, let the wind run through your loose locks, and race off across the open plains of the universes inside you that no one and nothing can break.

Rallying Cry: When I trust in the feast, the treats keep coming.
Power Moves: One of your most potent gifts, glitter kitten, is the pink-ribboned present of “presentism.” More than any other sign, you have the capacity to harness the dazzling power of the now and to trust everything that surrounds you exactly as it is in the moment. This capacity is borne from the boundless belief in your own heat and life force. This week, it’s time to apply that to material abundance. Notice where you start to journey into scarcity mentality. Notice where you grasp at crumbs because you don’t feel like there’s enough to go around. Throw a dinner party this week. Visit an endless buffet. Splurge a little and let that splurge be your signal to the universe that you’re ready for an upgrade. It’s a fancy feast week for you, kitty kat. So line up the milk saucers and lap it up.

Rally Cry: I sacrifice myself at the altar of no one.
In your life: This is your time, witchy woman of the woodlands. Dive deep into your desire nature. Dress yourself in luscious lingerie or whatever turns you on and then become your own private dancer. Return to your bedrock. The parts of yourself that you know are immutable and powerful. Literally wander in the forest. Start a bonfire. Ride horses. Dig your hands deep into the dirt. Let your beautiful body and everything it can do dazzle you. Feel into the “nos.” The things you will not give away. The things that are yours for the keeping. Get secretive about it if you have. Lock your diary up. Save things just for yourself. Romance yourself deeply. Light the candles. Pour the elixirs. Know that all the magic you need is close at hand.

Rallying Cry: Buried treasures are my most valuable jewels.
Power Moves: It’s deep dives for you this week, Libra, but you’ve got the discernment and clarity to be able to wade through your dream life without completely losing touch with the surface of reality. Figure out what you’ve been tucking away. What do you literally keep dreaming about? Crack yourself open to the strangeness of the world. Pay attention to every last sign. This may involve traditional witchy acts of crystal healing and dream journaling. But it could even be more pragmatic than that. Think about a skill you’ve let languish. Journey into a sensitive place where you feel less than competent and then lovingly start to cultivate that area. Harness your tenderness. Fine tune your tool kit. Broaden the lens so that you can allow all parts of yourself to be good and true.

Rallying Cry: Developing a clear plan for the future can feel wildly expansive.
Power Moves: It’s time to smoke yourself out of your desert hole, private Scorpion, and use your calculating craftiness to start fashioning yourself a getaway vehicle. Project yourself into the future, complete with space suit. Envision the end feeling. Map your desires and set off in a direction, one badass bootie in front of the other. Think about this week as a floor planning session for your emotional dream house. A week to feel into the architectural framework of your life. How can you move through the world as if it were naturally aligned to the spaces inside of you? Sketch it out. Feel into every last part of the cabinetry and countertops and marble tubs. And then pack your emotional bags and set off for your brand new home.

Rallying Cry: Taking the reins is the ultimate act of authority.
Power Moves: While you’re sometimes the wild pony herself, this week you’re the exquisite equestrian, sweet Sag. Relish taking the reins and steering your beast, whether it’s for high-speed derbies or gentle dressage. Slip into thigh high riding boots. Practice power moves in the bathroom before staging a courageous act. Literally stand up taller. Straighten your spine. Delight in precision. Dive into the intricate parts of a project and become the ultimate authority on your subject matter. Think of yourself as the head librarian of your life. Catalogue things. Learn everything that needs to be known. And then step up to the podium and make your opening statement. Declare your intentions.

Rallying Cry: Exploring new approaches helps me purge the parts that no longer work.
Power Moves: Shake it up and wake it up, mountain goat. We know you’ve got your alpine skills down. You’ve mapped it all out. You’ve packed your provisions. This week, go off-road. Let your deep trust in your navigational skills and all the power you’ve accrued to date help you get a little wild. Come at things from a completely unexpected angle. Imagine yourself as a stranger in a strange land and plunge into the new tastes, sights, and sounds. Let your vision get a little blurry. Mix up the colors. Let it feel like improv jazz or comedy, where the practitioners are so deeply skilled that they can just riff and relish the new combinations that emerge. Let unexpected collisions birth brand new plans.

Rallying Cry: Trusting my animal instincts is my most radical act.
Power Moves: You love to live on the edge of what’s possible, rebellious Aquarian. This week, let those limits be your own humanness. Get primitive. Burn things that need to be burned. Relish some smoked flavors. Get a little bit dirty. Don’t make a plan. Camp out inside of yourself and bear witness to your wildness. Scream it out when you need to. Touch the edges of anger and desire that may feel frightening. And then dive in and see what magic you can make from this kind of fuel. See how anger can become the engine of change. Let it cleanse you.

Rallying Cry: Thinking through partnership lets me consciously fuse.
Power Moves: We know you’d love to navigate through the world solely through sweet sensation, fishcakes. But this week asks you to activate some analytics to see things from a panned-out perspective. Spend some time apart. Get delightfully self-contained. Take a spiritual staycay inside your room. Make your space into a treehouse. And then look out across the expanses of your life from your perch. Pay special attention to relationships. See them as unfolding along a much larger trajectory of your whole life. Compare them to one another. Think about them as carefully wrapped chocolates with their own contents and purposes. Let this process help you choose where to place your value. Which outline fits into the heart-shaped box of your life right now?

Rallying Cry: My private life is an infinite source of fascinating wisdom.
Power Moves: It’s been an emotional Spring for your usually butterflied intellect, rainbow brite. While this week asks you to tuck inside once again, it doesn’t feel oppressive in the least. It’s a week for gorgeous retreat. For building spaces inside of yourself to settle from the external hum and to get really interested by what goes on behind your own closed doors. What lives inside of you? Does it look like the rocky, rugged coastline of Maine? Or a lush tropical Hawaiian forest? Get curious about the interiors of things. Imagine yourself in one of the “Magic Schoolbus” kids books where you shrink down and explore your own insides. Dig into the past. Excavate your own history. Let this process lead you back to the center of your passions.

Rallying Cry: Developing daily rituals supports trust in my competence.
Power Moves: You tend to be a wildly instinctive, rapid fire thinker, little lambskins. But this week, it’s all about discovering the divinity in every last detail. Get really curious about the intricacies of your environment and how behind the scenes labors can help support your onstage time. Get psyched about the empowerment of a morning routine. Access the pageantry of it. Dress up for this moment. Speak to your mirror. Listen to a favorite anthem. Imagine yourself as an Olympic athlete in training. Figure out exactly what makes your body tick. What makes your system run. Consider yourself to be a beautiful machine and discover exactly what kind of fuel makes you fly.

Ralling Cry: I can rediscover the romance in every last detail.
Power Moves: It’s a week for falling in love with absolutely everything, Venus-ruled fox. Start by adorning your body accordingly. Go for over-the-top baubles and oversized rings, even if they’re the dollar stores varietal. Build out from there. Tap into the power of aesthetics. Color code your bookshelf and revel in the rainbow of aligned spines. And then take the rainbow to the streets. Bring your sidewalk chalk. And trails of glitter confetti. Track your way through the world with a sense of reverential glory. Blow kisses to strangers. Talk lovingly to animals. See every part of what surrounds you as a part of the self you’re becoming and already are.

Rallying Cry: When I sample what’s on offer, I can release control.
Power Moves: Let the salt waters loosen whatever pearls you’ve been gripping in those crab claws. While you’re besties with nostalgia and love a well-worn emotional path that makes you feel safe inside your seashell, this week is about opening up to the tapas platter of possibilities. Just notice what crosses your path. Practice saying “yes and.” Practice coming at things from both sides. Let your life look like a prism. A perspective enters and then gets refracted into every last shade. Stimulate all your receptors. Drink bubbly water and wake yourself up with pungent flavors and unfamiliar music. Take in as much as possible without it having to add up. Notice how this sense of small-scale voyaging can let you release some of the usual controls. Let things be a glorious puzzle and toss the pieces straight into the air. See what lands.
