July 2026
Expect a major energy shift as lucky Jupiter moves from gentle Cancer into fiery Leo. While you can expect this to help in terms of work and health, Leo is the sign associated with the fifth house of love. This may cause you to feel and act more dramatically and more outgoing, Pisces.
The first nine days of the month, Venus transits with Jupiter through Leo. This is a perfect time for fun and maybe even a trip to the beach or water, even if it is just a swimming pool. This is the height of summer, after all, and Leo makes us all think about love and perhaps summer flings if you are not partnered already.
When Venus shifts into Virgo on July 9, you will find joy in small acts of service to your partner. You can expect the same in return, because this is what Virgo is really all about.
While Jupiter has left compatible Cancer, the Sun transits through Cancer in your fifth house of love until the 22nd, when it enters Leo. The Sun is joined by Mercury in Cancer, which is retrograde until the 23rd. This can indicate an intense and emotional time. If you aren’t committed, it could slow down your dating life. If you have a special love, be aware that this can cause miscommunication or misunderstandings, as it will be extremely emotional.
Pisces and Cancer are the two most emotional signs of the zodiac. This will strip your illusions in a relationship if you don’t have your feet on the ground, and you will no longer be looking at a partner through rose-colored glasses. It is also possible an ex or someone you have known from the past returns, but there is no guarantee.
A beautiful New Moon in Cancer makes July 14 one of the most romantic days of the year, which should go very well for you.
When the Sun joins Jupiter in Leo on the 23rd, love turns to passion. Instead of romantic daydreams, you want to take action and make things happen. You will spend less time in your shell and more time showing the world or your lover the fire that burns in your heart, even though you don’t always show it.
The Full Moon this month falls on the 29th in the sign of Aquarius, or your 12th house. A 12th house Full Moon can be difficult, so watch your health and your emotions. Don’t let old baggage resurface along with fears and doubts. Even though a Full Moon in this house typically stirs up old baggage, on the positive side, this is a great time to release any negative energy or self-doubts that keep you from fully experiencing and enjoying a positive relationship.
