Taurus

Money moves first this month. Mars and Uranus share Gemini — your solar second house of income and what you own, reading your Sun sign as the first house the way monthly horoscopes do — and they meet on July 4. That is the surprise expense, the sudden side offer, the subscription you cancel out of principle. Quick money decisions are fine through that weekend as long as they are reversible; the irreversible ones can wait.

Venus, your ruler, enters Virgo and your fifth house of romance and self-made pleasure on July 9, which sweetens the middle of the month considerably — the date, the studio afternoon, the thing you make because you want to. Just watch July 13, when Venus squares Uranus back in that money house: the impulse purchase will be wearing a very good disguise. Plan something inexpensive and excellent instead.

The new moon on July 14 lands in Cancer and your third house — errands, siblings, the neighborhood orbit. It is a real fresh start for a message, a course, a local commitment. Mercury has been retrograde in that same house all month, though, and it stations direct on July 23: draft the email and the agreement now, send and sign after the 23rd.

The finish is domestic, and bright. The Sun enters Leo and your fourth house of home and family on July 22, then meets Jupiter there on July 29 — the best day of the month for the housewarming, the offer on the place, the family table with everyone actually at it. The same day’s full moon at 6° Aquarius lights your tenth house of career, so something public peaks at the exact moment the home news arrives. If July 27’s Sun-Pluto opposition puts a demanding voice from work on the line, you are allowed to let it ring. This round goes to the house.
