Your weekly horoscope from July 13-19, 2026, dips from highs to lows in the span of seven days. The cosmos are providing another thrilling ride through Cancer season and Mercury retrograde.
On July 13, confident planet Venus in Virgo shares an aspect with revolutionary Uranus in Gemini. It may be hard to be sensitive in the words we choose to express ourselves because people may cause conflict, and the way we defend ourselves can be disruptive.
The following day, the New Moon in Cancer heightens our sentiments—feeling our feelings is the theme of the lunation, so surrounding ourselves with sympathetic friends and nurturing family members is important. We are craving tenderness and compassion from others and ourselves. Spreading the appreciation we receive to others is an example of how we can give back and be kind.
Uranus links up with dreamy Neptune retrograde in Aries on July 15, providing us with the gift of radical self-love. Uranus and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius unite on July 18, striving to make changes but causing chaos in their wake. Mars in Gemini and Saturn in Aries come together on July 19, drying our tears by reminding us of our strengths and resilience.
Below, discover your weekly horoscope according to your astrological sign.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Although the New Moon on July 14 is urging you to reflect, it is also making you take note of how to implement boundaries. You are going to have a lesson about how to ensure you're not letting people walk all over you and how to stand your ground without having verbal confrontation. Understanding your innate power is vital. If people want to start theatrics, you'll be able to squash it by shading them through a single side-eye glare that puts them in their place.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
You've been trying hard not to let your frustrations with some of your friends come out until Mercury turns direct on July 23 because you want to discuss matters with a clear perspective. However, frustrations may unexpectedly arise on July 18, when Uranus and Pluto retrograde align, triggering your emotions and pushing you to address the situation. Be mindful of how loud you roar to ensure the vine isn't extremely intense. Remember, the aim is to work through the problem, not to send them away.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
It's a busy week at your summer job, which is disrupting your sense of peace due to Uranus aspecting your charts on July 13, 15th, and 18th. Unforeseen work emergencies will keep you glued to your phone so you never miss a call, direct message, or text; however, you still need to have fun and enjoy your time off when you're not working. Try to set limits and stick to them. As a rule, you're not beholden to devices after business hours, unless they’re paying.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
To attain and maintain balance this week, you might have to give in to the whims of others during the new moon on July 14. Rather than push back and make others aware of your helpful advice, it's best to go with the flow. If they make mistakes along their journey, then that is their problem; the objective is to relinquish involvement in any part of the drama that others create. They can play on their time, not yours. Forge ahead on the serene path.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Finding alternative educational methods is nothing new to you because you're always evolving and growing. This week, you are going to take another leap in your educational metamorphosis. The New Moon in Cancer increases and motivates your desire to do an intense deep dive into a topic of interest, boosting your intellect and wisdom. This might even propel you toward a topic you're passionate about studying on your own time or at school, leading to a career in the area that sparks interest and inspiration.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Right now, you're taking your current situationship day by day. The future seems uncertain due to revolutionary Uranus changing up your relationship on July 13, 15, and 18, which led you to take a second look at the pending commitment. The flipside to examine is that you're not eager to devote your energy to someone who is a WIP (”work in progress”). You'd rather cuff yourself and pour TLC into bettering your life. The tides are turning and you are choosing yourself above anyone else.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
The New Moon on July 14 illuminates a few frenemies that have been hiding and taking cover. The results will be shocking because the people you confided in and trusted may not turn out to be who you thought they were. If you wish to deal head-on by letting them know the truth, it'll be a relief for you, but it'll ruffle their feathers. Sometimes you have to call people out to protect yourself — also, leaving them on read will make them understand their errors.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
You have a reputation for being one of the calmer and chillier zodiac signs; however, you may have a minor crashout on July 18 when an ex comes back to stir the pot. Uranus and Pluto retrograde’s connection in the sky is bringing a mix of emotions your way. You'll feel hurt about the past, but want to move forward with them in a positive direction. Former resentments will sneak up when you least expect it, so give the vibe time before jumping back in.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
This week, Uranus and Mars are giving you the bandwidth to freely decorate your room as the fall semester nears; you are trying to get fresh looks to reinvigorate your dwelling with optimism for the incoming semester. The New Moon in Cancer on July 14 broadens your aesthetic, but your tastes may be beyond your budget (a harsh reality you will see on the 19th). You can stay on track if you decide to DIY by repurposing, reusing, redesigning, and recycling items you already have.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
You've got a touch of summertime sadness that will send you back into your cocoon during the New Moon in Cancer on July 14. There is no set timeline for your glow-up, but know that you will feel better with the assistance of your pals. The good news is that you'll be willing to socialize with a few members of your squad on the 15th and 19th, but aren't open to hearing their POVs yet. They'll need to stay in their lanes until you're ready.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Before putting your foot in your mouth and saying things that you might regret during the New Moon in Cancer on July 14, take a moment and write a draft of what you wish to express. It is always best to get your feelings out before having a heart-to-heart with a bestie, so you're cognizant of the points you want to address. That way, you stay on track and aren't veering from the purpose of the discussion. Articulation is key because of Mercury’s lingering moonwalk.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Uranus’ current affiliation with your sign is taking you out of your comfort zone. This week, you'll understand that the old way of doing things may not be right, forcing you to course-correct the past. Since you're a creature of habit who likes to follow routines, it may be stressful for you to break them on the 13th, when Venus and Uranus square off. Fortunately, Mars and Saturn have the aspect between Mars and Saturn on July 19 offers structure to your schedule and plans.
