July doesn’t tiptoe in, Sagittarius—it kicks the door open with a cosmic boom. With your ruling planet Jupiter playing dodgeball with the Moon and multiple planetary aspects all month, the vibe is unpredictable, over-the-top, and emotionally unfiltered. In other words: right up your alley. But the trick this time isn’t about how far you can go. It’s about knowing when to stop.
Pluto retrograde remains in full effect, dragging shadow issues into the light and asking you to reevaluate how you use power, how you relate to money, and whether your goals are rooted in real passion or just ego-fueled escapism. You’re being called to go deeper—but not just for the sake of adventure. Something in your foundation needs inspection.
Things heat up quickly on July 2, when Jupiter squares the waxing crescent Moon, stirring friction between your inner world and outer obligations. You might feel pulled to go big or bail entirely. Then, just two days later on July 4, a pileup of transits kicks up the drama: Jupiter trines the waxing gibbous Moon, Venus enters Gemini and conjoins Uranus, and Neptune stations retrograde. What does it all mean? Surprises in love, money, or friendships. A sudden shift in personal desires. And a big, unavoidable reality check.
Neptune’s retrograde peels back illusions you’ve clung to about your home life, emotional security, or past decisions. This might feel destabilizing at first—especially for a sign that prefers to leap forward rather than look back. But there’s wisdom in reflection, Sagittarius. You can’t outrun what still owns a piece of your peace.
On July 7, Uranus enters Gemini, adding a new layer of instability to your partnerships. Communication will be weird. Relationships may shift suddenly, and people from the past might reappear in strange ways. While this isn’t inherently bad, it will test your flexibility. Avoid promising more than you can deliver. Not everything needs to be fixed, defined, or held onto.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10 lights up your second house of money, values, and self-worth. Something around finances or emotional security reaches a breaking point. You may have to admit that an investment—emotional, financial, or professional—isn’t yielding the return you expected. This isn’t a failure. It’s just data. Let this Full Moon guide you toward a more grounded, long-term vision of abundance.
Saturn turns retrograde on July 13 and brings a cold, sobering filter to your daily routines. You might notice where you’ve been overextending yourself in an effort to stay relevant or productive. Slow down. Restructure. Learn to honor your limitations as much as your potential. Saturn doesn’t punish. It just insists on alignment.
Jupiter continues its wild streak mid-month with a trine to the waning gibbous Moon on July 14, followed by a square with the waning crescent on July 16. You may oscillate between feeling wise and wild, grounded and completely scattered. Try not to make any huge decisions during this window. Mercury goes retrograde on July 18, compounding mental fog, technical issues, and communication breakdowns. If you must speak, speak slowly. If you can’t make it make sense, don’t force it.
July 18 also brings a helpful sextile between Jupiter and the waning crescent Moon, offering a bit of levity. If you need a boost of hope, it arrives in the form of emotional support or a reminder that you’re not in this alone. Reach out to the people who really see you.
July 22 marks the Sun’s entrance into Leo, your fellow fire sign, ushering in a new season of optimism, creativity, and travel potential. Leo energy lights up your ninth house of expansion and truth, and it aligns with your natural desire to learn, grow, and burn bright. But the kind of expansion the universe wants from you now is inward. You don’t need to fly across the world to find meaning. Try turning the lens inward.
The New Moon in Leo on July 24 is your moment to plant seeds for something bold and soul-aligned. Whether it’s a new creative venture, a spiritual deep dive, or just a reinvestment in your personal growth, this lunation says: dream big, but do it with your feet on the ground. What you want isn’t too much. But it does require a commitment to the process, not just the vision.
A day later on July 25, Jupiter conjoins the waning crescent Moon. Your optimism swells, but so might your tendency to over-commit or over-explain. Watch for emotional inflation—it’s easy to believe in the best-case scenario and ignore the signs that say “wait.”
Chiron stations retrograde on July 30, triggering an ongoing cycle of healing around self-worth, intimacy, and personal expression. Past wounds may surface, especially those tied to being misunderstood or feeling like too much. The goal isn’t to shrink yourself to fit someone else’s narrative. It’s to affirm your own, without apology.
That same day, Jupiter squares the waxing crescent Moon, echoing the tension from the start of the month. But this time, you have more insight. If early July was the test, this is the check-in. How have you adjusted? Where are you still pushing past the limit? Not all discomfort is growth. Sometimes it’s a warning signal.
July 31 brings a major shift as Venus enters Cancer, pulling your attention toward emotional safety and deeper connection. Flashy romance and exciting flirtations fade into the background as the need for intimacy and mutual care takes center stage. It’s not about what looks good on paper—it’s about what feels good in your nervous system.
The Sun meets Mercury retrograde on the same day, creating an opportunity for insight amidst the confusion. If you’ve felt stuck in your head or tangled in mixed messages, this conjunction might offer clarity. But only if you’ve been willing to sit in the silence long enough to hear it.
July isn’t a smooth ride, Sagittarius. It’s a messy, momentum-building month full of near misses and realignment. But it’s also incredibly rich. If you can resist the urge to force answers or flee the hard stuff, you’ll come out of this wiser, steadier, and even more rooted in who you are—not just what you do.
