July 2024
(scroll down for key dates and your Mars Horoscope for Summer 2024) 2024 is speeding past, and I have no doubt July 2024 will do the same. This month we have a much more nourishing, positive Moon Cycle that begins with the New Moon on July 5th in the nakshatra of Punarvasu.
The striking thing is that Venus and Mercury move very quickly into Leo this year, which means July has a more courageous, bold, fiery feel than your typical emotional Cancer season. This time of year is always about the heart, spending time with loved ones, summer bbqs if you’re in the northern hemisphere, and generally putting worldly career goals on the back burner. This July is no different, and especially with Mercury in Leo, there can be lots of opportunities to speak from the heart, to wear your feelings on your sleeve, and move with courage. That’s what the evolved side of Leo is all about.
Mercury is with Vesta for the middle chunk of the month - which as Vesta is the asteroid of spirituality, the fire element, and keeping the flame alive within the temple, this is great for spiritual pursuits. For any of you with a desire to deepen your meditation practice or connect with the elements, July is the month to dive in. Also for writing and poetry pursuits, this astrology will support you and summon the muses.
On the 15th, Mars links up with Uranus in Taurus, which is a rare and useful day to help something change, within and without. I have no idea how this will manifest for you - because Uranus rules the unexpected! It’s great for adventure, sports, sex, but also epiphanies and creative ideas. In short - it’s a feisty day that can help get you out of a rut.
Mark your diaries for the Full Moon on the 21st, which promises to be interesting. Mercury is square Uranus so you could feel buzzed and motivated to dive into your projects. Channel the energy wisely & stay grounded!
How to move through July: Embrace your feelings, let go of the hard stuff that's weighing you down, and have the difficult conversations - while always speaking from the heart. Make space for spirituality, use candles (Vesta is active this month). Write if you find that helpful (Mercury is very active and can help you change something through writing).
How not to move through July: Dwell on past pain, stay in the shadows for fear of criticism, resist any outlandish ideas. While Cancer season helps you connect to your feelings, the shadow side of Cancer can be overly nostalgic, to the point of keeping us living in the past. Listen to what your heart is telling you so you can figure out what you want to create moving forward. Ask for the courage you need to move past blocks. The stars of July will give it to you!
