Libra Monthly Horoscope

MONTH OF July

TikTok may be staging a rebellion against hustle culture, but this is YOUR time of year to make a mark. With the Sun in Cancer heating up your tenth house of career, status and hard-earned recognition until July 22, your long-term professional goals take top billing. Hey, we don’t make the rules here. You’ve got people to see and goals to accomplish, Libra!

Yes, your friends may all be frolicking at the beach, eating soft serve or slipping off for their first vacations in months. And you should certainly enjoy summer fun, too. Just be sure to carve out a dedicated block of hours each day when you can buckle down and make headway on those lofty dreams. 

Last month, you may have had a lot of visionary ideas that inspired you—especially since abundant Jupiter recently moved into your expansive ninth house of personal growth for the first time in 12 years. But how, exactly, will you pull those off? Cancer season invites you to make a master plan, reverse-engineering the steps you can take to turn dreams into reality. 

Feeling the weight of responsibility on your shoulders? Remind yourself during this “no pain, no gain” solar transit that your temporary sacrifices will yield lasting results. A well-deployed effort could earn you major points with the powers that be. If you’re pitching a plum client, make sure you have a top-drawer presentation that not only looks sleek but has all the necessary facts and figures.

Work may be heating up this Cancer season, but it’s important to take a second to reassess your wellness and daily routines, Libra. Sticking to them over the summer could be challenging as foggy Neptune will retrograde backspin through your orderly and health-conscious sixth house from July 2 through December 7. Evaluate which work projects and social obligations energize you and which leave you drained. Then, ditch or delegate anything that zaps your vitality so you can find more sustainable balance in your life.

With Neptune joining Saturn (commitments) and Pluto (transformation) in the retrograde brigade, your discipline could get a little wobbly, especially if you take on too much. Instead of trying to do a million things to perfection, choose two or three summer goals and do them really well. The sixth house rules the digestive system, so if yours has been sluggish, consider a gentle cleanse or taking a microbiome test to assess your gut health. But avoid any self-diagnosing here—and if you’re behind on checkups, get those appointments on the books. Some Libras will benefit from honestly evaluating their relationship with alcohol and substances during this retrograde.

Neptune’s reversal through your wellness sector could conjure up body image distortion. If you’ve eliminated one too many food groups from your diet, consider a more moderate stance now (especially because, well, summer!). We’re not saying you should abandon all discipline or ignore doctor’s orders. Just make sure YOU don’t try to play amateur health coach without consulting an expert. 

Since the sixth house also rules employment, some Libras could find themselves rethinking their current responsibilities at their place of work. Neptune is known to create confusion and illusions, but its retrograde can actually roll BACK the fog, helping you see things more clearly. If you’ve struggled to advocate for yourself, for example, you could have a palm-to-forehead realization that you’re reenacting a childhood dynamic with the dominating director or an overbearing colleague. 

Armed with this newfound insight, you can make an important change—just in time for the July 5 Cancer new moon in your ambitious tenth house! The beams could bless you with a prestigious leadership opportunity or recognition for your talents. Is public speaking in your future? You may be invited to give a talk or keynote speech. This is no lucky break, Libra—you worked hard to earn it. New moons kick off new six-month chapters, and this one will fully culminate at the January 13, 2025, Cancer full moon. Get super-precise about where you’d like to be by early next year, setting intentions and creating actionable steps to get there. Your father or an important man could play into events near this date.

The Cancer new moon could also serve up changes to your status or social position. The tenth house is associated with more than just professional matters. It also governs your public life and purpose. Whether la luna sets the seeds for a prestigious promotion, a social coup or a public love affair, it’s all on display. Who knows? You might find yourself the subject of your very own Lady Whistledown column. Give ‘em something Bridgerton-worthy to talk about!

While you’re typically more measured about taking big risks in work and love, your comfort zone is about to blast wide open. On July 15, intense Mars and changemaker Uranus will make an ultra-rare convergence in Taurus, shaking up your behind-the-scenes eighth house of shared resources, investments and long-term money. From romance to finance, it’s time to start doing things differently—and not care what anyone thinks!

This planetary convergence harkens back to August 2022, the last time action-oriented Mars and liberator Uranus connected in Taurus and this intimate and insightful zone. This will be their last-ever meetup in Taurus in our lifetime, making this a significant release point for stagnant partnerships, emotional attachments and limiting beliefs. 

With Uranus the awakener helping you realize your desire for more aligned connections over the last few years (it’s in Taurus from 2018 to 2026), this dynamic mid-month meetup with decisive Mars can embolden you to make relationships pivots for the better. This will set the stage for Mars’ move into communicative Gemini and your ninth house of personal truth on July 20. 

Is the world prepared to see your authentic side so boldly? Ready or not, it’s on display for the rest of summer! Your charisma and persuasive powers also get dialed up high. Right after shifting into Gemini, Mars immediately forms a 120-degree trine to magnetic Pluto in Aquarius and your passionate, expressive fifth house. 

Mars in Gemini encourages curiosity while Pluto in Aquarius can reveal hidden desires as well as ego-driven tendencies. While it’s fine to enjoy attention or crave something special, you should also question your motives, Libra. Why exactly do you want this thing so badly? Is it to “fix” a perceived flaw or deficiency, or are you carving a path to greater happiness?

Mars will soar through Gemini and join fortuitous Jupiter in your ninth house of travel, risk-taking and adventure until September 4, inspiring you to see boundless possibilities. If you don’t have any summer vacation plans on the books, start mapping them now! Exciting news can pour in, and stalled opportunities or romantic prospects could pick up momentum when Mars and Pluto connect. 

While you might ordinarily feel shy about voicing your needs too directly, you’ll be more empowered to do so when Mars and Pluto align on the heels of the powerful July 21 Capricorn full moon. This is the second of a rare back-to-back duo of Capricorn full moons activating your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. 

Consider this the follow-up to any changes or manifestations brought on by the first Capricorn full moon a month ago, on June 21. Shifts in your living situation or personal life could come together now. If you’ve been thinking about moving, expanding your family or renovating, this lunar liftoff could land you happily in your new digs. An important woman, possibly your mother or a female relative, could play a role in events near this date.

Fair warning: The full moon could stir up A LOT of feelings. While emotions could get heated (drama alert!), you’ll be able to speak your truth now or draw better boundaries with overbearing family members and anxious friends. Ward off their unsolicited opinions about your life choices and preferences as politely as possible. 

On July 22, the Sun moves into Leo and your lighthearted eleventh house of groups and teams. If you’ve been obsessing over your goals or sweating the small stuff, you’ll be able to detach and focus on the bigger picture. You don’t have to climb this mountain alone, Libra. After the twists and turns of Cancer season, teaming up with supportive friends is the medicine you need. 

A promising collaboration could definitely start percolating. But getting the team synced up might take a minute. Intense dynamics reach a fever pitch when shadowy Pluto forms its annual opposition to the Sun on July 23. With Pluto sending controlling beams from your dramatic fifth house, egos and conflicts could flare. 

At this year’s Sun-Pluto face-off, deep-seated fears could cause you (or others) to act in a selfish manner. You may feel like you’re being unfairly targeted or blamed for a group project going awry. Or you could find yourself at the center of feuding teammates, unsure of whether to jump in. Libra, this is one time when even your savvy mediating skills might not do the trick. People may resort to underhanded tactics to steal the spotlight or get their way. Your own desire for attention could skew your normally sensible decisions. Reminder: The cream will eventually rise to the top, so no need to bulldoze others in your quest for adoration or power.

While things could feel frustrating in the moment, expect the mood to lighten up after this nerve-frazzling start to Leo season. Blow off steam by communing with your chosen crew. It’s time for some well-earned fun, even when you’re working! Whether you’re rallying the troops to get pumped about a project or making an unforgettable entrance at a summer fiesta, you’re the heartbeat of every group gathering.

You’ve proven that you can be strong and self-sufficient, Libra—and kudos for the valiant effort. But we weren’t meant to go through this life alone, especially if it causes unnecessary struggle and suffering. While you reconvene with your circle, healer-feeler Chiron turns retrograde in your partnership house on July 26, pushing you to explore deeper issues around your closest ties and sense of trust. 

Are you avoiding pain around a past relationship—or maybe your current one? Perhaps you fear getting too close to others. If so, this is the time to really ask yourself why. (And no, Libra, it’s not because “people can’t be trusted” or whatever self-protective reason you’ve made up.) Working with a therapist or spiritual teacher could help you get to the heart of this inner conflict between now and December 29. As you shift your energy, the people around you may “miraculously” change theirs.

Craving predictability in your love life, Libra? Venus and Mars, the planets of amour, are seeking more certainty in the first part of the month. With Venus in Cancer and your goal-oriented tenth house until July 11 and Mars in Taurus and your intimate eighth house through July 20, you’ll be thinking about commitments that are built to go the distance. 

Regardless of your status, consistency and dependability will be non-negotiables. You’re looking for more than just a good time. This could lead you to a surprising candidate or deepen your appreciation for a faithful companion if you’re attached—especially with the July 5 Cancer new moon activating your public-reputation zone. Bring on the #couplegoals and power duos! 

With red-hot Mars blazing through your eighth house of sex and merging, your boudoir could be a heat zone, so unleash your powers of seduction! With flirtatious Venus in Cancer and your hardworking tenth house until July 11, single Libras could meet someone at a work event or through your career pursuits. Couples might enjoy dressing up and doing more exclusive, VIP things together. Ringside Sumo + Sushi anyone? (Yes, it’s a thing: Why just go to a restaurant or theater when you can catch a traveling roadshow of Japanese wrestling and premium Bento boxes?)

Spicy as things may get, the month does come with a warning label. Contentious Mars in your intense eighth house can stir up jealousy and obsession. Although you’ll be fiercely protective of your own freedom and autonomy, you might not be as quick to offer the same to others. Curb the urge to snoop and lob accusations without ample evidence. If you’re experiencing trust issues, confront a person directly instead of doing anything secretive. Animosity with an ex may reach epic levels, especially if you’re splitting up and dividing shared property. Because pettiness could strike at any time, stay on guard so rage doesn’t consume you. 

Take note of any old patterns playing out, especially when Venus moves into Leo and immediately opposes shadowy Pluto in your fifth house of self-expression on July 12. Feelings could come to a head. And with Venus now in your idealistic eleventh house, you may find yourself more obsessive about the future than ever. You want certainty, and you want it now!

Pluto rules the subconscious, potentially turning up the dial on emotional volatility, fear, and the need for control. While it may feel like an intense moment, this friction could pave the way for a more aligned vision of the future. Information revealed near July 3 (when Mercury stared down Pluto on its way into Leo) could resurface as part of conversations.

Once you’ve hashed things out, Mars departs Taurus and its cozy, canoodling cocoon for curious Gemini, activating your adventurous ninth house from July 20 to September 4. Under this frisky and optimistic influence, you’ll be attracted to people from different walks of life—possibly hailing from another country or culture. Traveling will keep the flames hot for couples, even if you can only swing a weekend getaway or a sexy staycation. 

Things are heating up at the office with Cancer season shining a spotlight on your ambitious tenth house all the way until July 22. And the fireworks here start early in the month. The July 5 Cancer new moon kicks off a fresh start in your career: Whether it’s a promotion, switching careers or opening your own solo practice, the spark has been lit. Seeds planted today will help professional changes unfold over the next six months. 

Big money: incoming? Go-getter Mars is in Taurus and your eighth house of investing and financial collaborations until July 20. Exciting partnership and growth opportunities could crop up—and with pressure-cooker Mars here, you’ll have the urge to act on them quickly. Conduct due diligence so you can move forward with clarity. 

This month, you may feel some stress around a large expense or debt. Remember that necessity is the mother of invention, Libra. Courageous Mars will motivate you to take a bold risk that could pay off, whether that’s raising your rates, collecting on an overdue payment or requesting that a loan be partially forgiven. Keep your eyes open for a windfall-like bonus, inheritance, or commission when action-oriented Mars links up with expect-the-unexpected Uranus on July 15. 

By the time Mars joins abundant Jupiter in Gemini and your expansive ninth house on July 20, you’ll be feeling a stronger curiosity about what the future could bring. Since the ninth house rules entrepreneurship, could a budding business collaboration be in the works? Cancer season invites you to explore the feasibility of turning those dreams into reality—channel your inner Carolyn Rafaelian (a fellow Libra), founder of jewelry brands Alex and Ani and Metal Alchemist, by leaning in to your creativity.

While you’re perfectly capable of handling things by yourself, as a Libra, you recognize that the hole is greater than the sum of its parts. Mars will form a harmonious 120-degree trine to powerful Pluto shortly after moving into Gemini, serving up an opportunity to magnetize influential collaborators—possibly hailing from afar. 

A note of caution: Be wary of negotiations that could go awry. With competitive Mars and shadowy Pluto in the mix, you could be wondering if that business “pitch” meeting was secretly an idea incubator for the other side. While you might ordinarily be eager to please and share your ideas freely, an NDA could help protect your brilliant intellectual property as you look for your ideal partner.
