Your July 2024 Horoscope: What’s in Store for You, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

If you’ve been looking forward to enjoying more downtime with loved ones and making the most of this sunny, fun-loving season, your July 2024 horoscope is full of promise. After all, the vibrant sun will be making its way through heartfelt, sentimental cardinal water sign Cancer for the first half of the month, supporting your relationships with family members, your home life and your ability to care for the most tender side of your heart. And during the latter half of the month, we’ll enter the first half of fixed fire sign Leo’s season, where the sun is right at home and, therefore, especially capable of offering up plenty of vitality-bringing, optimistic energy while laying the groundwork for nurturing your self-image, drive and confidence.  

A few key days to hold in mind as you move into this equally warm, fuzzy and fired up time of year: From July 2 to 25, messenger Mercury will enter Leo, magnifying your ability to command the stage, entertain, express your most creative ideas as well as zero in on a passion project and see it through. A new moon in Cancer on July 5 can kick off a new chapter of prioritizing your heart’s needs and nurturing bonds with your nearest and dearest. And when romantic Venus enters bold, theatrical Leo on July 11, where it remains until August 4, we can all be more demonstrative and self-assured in love and friendship. Action-oriented Mars moves into buzzy, bubbly Gemini on July 20, amplifying curiosity and a desire to flit from one game plan to the next as it moves through the mutable air sign until September 4. Then, around July 21, you’ll want to think back to June 21 when we had the first Capricorn full moon of the year, because a second one now could bring up similar themes, particularly related to work-life balance. And before the month wraps up, information-gathering Mercury slips into one of its home signs, detail-oriented mutable earth sign Virgo, upping your ability to research, analyze and be of service to others. 

Here’s how to take advantage of this month’s celestial events, based on your zodiac sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)

Aries July 2024 horoscope

As the month kicks off, a bevy of planets moving through your home zone has your focus on bonding with loved ones and spending time close to home more than usual.
