Hi. July is a citrine (think energy that moves and uplifts).
On July 7th, Uranus enters Gemini which brings thunder to your tongue and lightning to your thoughts. Think of it as sacred static, crackling through every word you speak, write, post, or dream. The last time this happened? 1942. World war. Broadcasts. Hidden codes. Resistance in every syllable. History is back on your lips. Will you use your voice to divide or to awaken?
And then the Capricorn full moon arrives on July 10th like a stone temple in the middle of a storm. She asks: what have you built? what will last? Saturn and Neptune spin retrograde in Aries. Mercury slows in Leo. Chiron pulls you back into your mythic wound. But don’t panic. Don’t scramble. July is the month to write in candlelight and rest with reverence.
Let go of the old names. Burn the blueprint. Begin again.
Read on for you sun, moon, or rising signs.
Aries
Mercury and Saturn whisper: Be still. Strip down. Who are you without the performance? Without the plan? Write from that flame. Don’t polish it. Let it stutter. Let it burn.
Taurus
You want stability, but Uranus is slicing through your comfort zone. Good. That tension is erotic. Write from the softest place and the sharpest ache. Let Venus remind you that beauty has bite.
Gemini
Your ruling planet is retrograde, your sign is being struck by Uranus. Translation: you're the spell. You are the scribe and the storm. What you write now could set the next seven years ablaze.
Cancer
This is your honey-moon month. Venus slips into your sign like a satin dress. Let softness be sacred. Write love poems to your own shadow. Lick the grief. Kiss the joy. You're allowed to feel everything at once.
Leo
July 22nd: your solar throne returns. But first—rest. Mercury is retrograding in your sign. Rethink your radiance. Revise your roar. Your voice is coming back stronger, richer, stranger.
Virgo
Perfection? Not this month. Try presence instead. Write one sentence without editing it. One poem that doesn’t end “correctly.” The glitch is divine. Let your words misbehave.
Libra
You're used to harmony. But what if this month wants you to scream in a cathedral? Let Uranus disrupt your niceness. Write something jagged, raw, trembling with truth. Be brave. Be un-beautiful.
Scorpio
You’re descending deeper. Chiron is lighting up your shadow in neon. Don’t hide. Write it. Perform the wound. Make it mythic. Your trauma isn’t your brand, but it is your ink.
Sagittarius
Your pen wants to gallop, but July slows your pace. Good. Write the soft thing. The thing you never post. Let Leo season spark something sacred. Not loud, but luminous.
Capricorn
Full moon in your sign = your holy reckoning. What have you held up with aching arms? Let it down. Celebrate your survival. Write about your scaffolding. Write about your spine.
Aquarius
Your ruling planet enters Gemini: boom. The future crackles through your veins. Archive your visions. Write your rebellion in metaphor. Let no one know if it’s fiction or prophecy.
Pisces
Neptune goes retrograde. Dreams blur. Identities dissolve. Perfect. You’re made for this. Write through the fog. Make a map from feelings. You are not lost.
