This is another month, Gemini, of changing worldview and assessment of life mission. With your ruler, Mercury, residing in your sign as the month begins, after its long sojourn in Taurus, and with the New Moon from mid-June taking place there as well, you are more social and joyous lately, confident in how you are showing up for others and for yourself. You are seriously committed to your work in the world, and yet deeply concerned with the inner implications of what you do, seeking balance. The Full Moon of July 3rd has you attempting to better define your values and, in the process, to explore issues of self and other. Your own inherent moral compass has become a significant determinant of the way that you see things unfolding in terms of outer world tasks and goals along with soul-level alignment to your individual truth. The Moon’s Last Quarter of July 9th finds you in something of a quandary. Many things within you and outside of yourself are in flux or even conflict, and compromise seems an unsatisfactory option. In the face of these question marks, the remainder of the month could see you pushing through for what feels like your greatest authenticity.

Last month's New Moon took place in your sign, associated with your sector of identity, vitality, and personal ambitions, and was additionally characterized by the hazy effects of Neptune, bringing up topics related to your career or life calling. While attempts to seek clarity may be meeting with uncertainty, July’s continuation of the Gemini lunation cycle suggests that there could be a positive side to such confusion in breaking down closed doors of perception; remaining in a state of divine ambivalence could be exactly what you need in order to illuminate entirely new perspectives. This process could help you to refine the path you are walking by discerning what internal and external adjustments are required to manifest and sustain your overriding vision for life in the material world. Personal transformation and evolving worldview are also in the cards for you this month. Life's possibilities may expand as the rational principle inside of you is challenged by larger cosmic forces of destiny.

The Capricorn Full Moon occurring on July 3rd in your shared resources and intimacy sphere can also help with the afore-mentioned adjustments. There is a fresh breeze blowing through your prospective plans and a determination to make them entirely your own. This is another supercharged lunation that also brings up issues of self and other. Stewarded by Saturn residing in your realm of vocation, and featuring a conjunction of the Full Moon Sun and Mercury, your ruler, this lunation may additionally illuminate themes around partnership agreements, or shared and individual financial realities. The emphasis continues on your Taurus-ruled sector of unconscious process, reminding you that nurturing yourself provides the foundation for you to do the same for others. The Moon's trine to Jupiter, combined with a square from Venus in your sector of the mind and local environment to Uranus, supports intuitive downloads and revelation through imagination, suggesting that your inner process does have a significant effect on your mental and emotional well-being. Taking time out to sit with yourself, journal, meditate, or engage in inspiring creative endeavors may help you tune to your own needs as well as identifying limiting beliefs, possibly regarding self-worth. This lunation asks, what if you deserved to be paid well for your gifts? Abundance is likely available to you but may require shifts in your mental patterning.

Continued supportive aspects from your ruling planet Mercury to your subconscious and vocational sectors this month indicate that your emotional and intuitive intelligence is a valuable asset that can be harnessed for tangible financial and vocational benefits.

July 10th sees Mars enter Virgo, signaling enhanced drive or productivity in your domestic sector that may be related to renovations or an ongoing search for where to put down roots. Mercury's simultaneous opposition to Pluto in Capricorn as it enters Leo, corresponding to your sector of the mind and local environment, indicates that there may be an issue related to shared resources, contracts, debts, or deeply merged relationships that requires significant focus. You may be letting go of ties with a long history. You could harness your innate curiosity for deep conversations and penetrating insight to help you get to the bottom of complicated issues or obtain a better sense of closure. Your ruling planet Mercury's entrance into your mental sector will likely feel rejuvenating, supporting a sunny state of mind and a sense of joy in your learning and communication pursuits, numerous at this time.

The Cancer New Moon in takes place on July 17th, initiating a new cycle in your sector of personal resources and skills. The Lunar Nodes of destiny are shifting into Aries and Libra; the fated nature of this lunation thus suggests you have arrived at a significant crossroads. The Nodes form a T-square with Pluto in Capricorn, expanding this new story to include topics related to intimacy and personal transformation, creative self-expression, and community. Your ruling planet Mercury in your sector of the mind also makes a square to Jupiter in your subconscious sphere, reiterating the fertile quality of your imaginative and spiritual gifts right now. The function of Jupiter here can be to inflate an undermining influence that has been running in your blind spot so you are forced to confront it consciously.

The powerful energy of this New Moon and subsequent aspects provide significant dynamic energy to identify and release outdated patterns. The Lunar North Node moving into your Aries-ruled sector indicates collective participation, collaboration, and higher aspirations will emerge as an area of considerable growth and flux over the next year and a half. The independent nature of this sign in the sphere of shared purpose suggests you may need to go out on your own to find authentic connections, take on leadership positions, or find yourself championing a collective cause.

Mars in Virgo opposes retrograde Saturn in Pisces from July 19th to July 21st, indicating a tug of war between your domestic and vocational responsibilities while offering sustained, dedicated energy for projects you feel connected to. You may feel frustrated by a grueling workload at this time or be reaching the limits regarding uninspiring vocational roles, with an emerging understanding that your career must be meaningful to you.

Leo season begins on July 22nd, further emphasizing your communications sector and your intellect. It is also worth noting that in the days surrounding this ingress, the Sun makes a grand cross aspect with Pluto and the Lunar Nodes. Because Venus embarks on her retrograde journey through this same sign of Leo starting on this same day, this transit has the quality of existential catharsis, with a sense of cognitive rebirth that may open your mind to new understandings. Venus' retrograde lasts over the next six weeks and supports reflection on topics related to desire, money, friendship, love, and pleasure through open-hearted curiosity and may see the return of past lovers or friends. Listening to what feels joyful right now may help you connect to an evolving sense of purpose.

On July 23rd, Chiron stations to retrograde in Aries – forming a square to Uranus in Taurus – and aspected by a trine from Mercury in Leo as it. The alignment reflects a generative tension between your conscious and subconscious spheres this month. Chiron's station in your community sector may bring up core wounding around personal autonomy, self-confidence, or lack of acceptance by others. The interplay between Mercury and Uranus, combined with the influence of Venus' station, supports a process of interrupting self-limiting stories to realign your relationship to more vulnerable parts of yourself with the affirming heart-centered wisdom of your ruling planet in the sign of the lion.

Mercury forms a conjunction with retrograde Venus in late Leo on July 27th before ingressing into Virgo, where Mars already travels. This aspect represents a steep learning curve and renewed transformation of your relationship dynamic, creativity, and connection to unconscious process. It also adds to ongoing patterns of identifying and articulating your heart's desires and supports heartfelt conversations, honesty, and verbalizing what you appreciate in others. It also suggests a reinvigoration of your creative, intellectual, and communicative capacity.

Your sector of home and family may be a busy sphere of activity for the next two months, possibly related to a new focus on collective participation or friendships. Channeling the energy available to you this week into projects related to communication, writing, or sharing your voice may be particularly productive before Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow on August 3rd.

July has opened a portal to realign with your solar ambitions, personal desire, and life path. This month is all about an opportunity to engage with some of the more confounding paradoxes in yourself, others, life — of individual desires and agency, need for connection, and shared purpose – as well as with the necessity to strive and to surrender. You do best to simultaneously dwell in the rational and the intangible, comforting as you can the nocturnal parts of your psyche that seem to plot against your conscious ambitions, and falling back on the heart’s ability to say yes to it all.
