Libra

The public part of your month comes first. The Sun crosses Cancer — your solar tenth house of career and reputation, reading your Sun sign as the first house the way monthly horoscopes do — until July 22, and the new moon there on July 14 is a genuine professional reset: the application, the title conversation, the portfolio finally reorganized. One timing note: Mercury is retrograde in that same house until July 23, so write everything on the 14th and submit it after the 23rd.

July 6 names the month’s central tension. The Sun squares Saturn in Aries, your seventh house — the job pulling one way, the partnership pulling the other, both with a point. Saturn has been asking your closest relationship to grow up all year; it stations retrograde on July 26, and the agreements you made in spring go into review through fall. Reread them together rather than separately.

Two smaller weathers, worth using. Mars and Uranus meet in Gemini, your ninth house, on July 4 — if a trip proposes itself out of nowhere, book it before the fare changes its mind. And Venus, your ruler, slips into Virgo and your twelfth house on July 9: schedule real solitude on purpose, because the social battery you pretend is infinite is not.

You will want it charged. The Sun enters Leo and your eleventh house of friends on July 22, then meets Jupiter there on July 29 — the best social day of your year, the room where the introduction that matters actually happens. The same day’s full moon at 6° Aquarius lights your fifth house of romance and creative work: something you love reaches full volume in front of exactly the right people. Go to the party on the 29th. Stay late.
