Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
July 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
July brings an emphasis on your work, health, and partnership sectors, dear Aquarius. It's a good time to take care of business, handle details, and work enthusiastically on tasks that help you get caught up in your duties. Rewards or a new or improved job situation can be in the stars. You're clearer about your goals and feel good about what you do and about your contributions.
While work and mundane matters often take center stage, there is nothing basic about these affairs right now. It's a time to put new spins on your routines, daily duties, and tasks. Organizing the little things will benefit you all around and is the primary key to success this month. You enjoy helping others, and people tend to be grateful for it. You're enjoying activities and projects that bring intrinsic rewards.
If you've been overlooking your needs for rest and time away from work or duties, then the Full Moon on the 3rd will serve as a nudge to come to a better work-life balance. It might also bring the fruition of a work matter or a secret to light.
Look to Mars' move to your solar eighth house on the 10th for inspiration – you might find a project to throw yourself into, particularly if it requires investigation or deep research. On-the-surface heat in relationships can lessen, but some deeper issues may emerge for handling. This cycle turns the heat up on the more intricate elements of relating.
The New Moon on the 17th brings a charge of energy to your sector of work, health, and habits, and you're in a commanding position for fresh new starts in these areas of life.
Questioning your plans is likely, and entirely necessary from the 22nd. A close partner may be distant or hard to read with Venus retrograde from this date forward. Some disconnects in the love department are possible. These will begin to clear up in September. For now, try not to push matters (or others). Give them space, and give yourself space as well! Relationships can be tricky, especially if you focus too intensely on problem areas, which is a real tendency.
While Venus is retrograde from the 22nd forward, there can be some complications or confusion surrounding a partnership. A close partner could be distant emotionally, or a relationship can appear stalled for the time being. People in your life may seem to be "on the fence." Take your time and avoid trying to rush matters.
During this retrograde Venus cycle (from July 22nd-September 3rd), life shows you where things are losing their appeal or no longer supporting you. The pleasure factor may be missing. You can feel undecided, in limbo, or unsatisfied. However, this is not to torture you but to prompt a reexamination that ideally leads to improvements. Use this period to re-evaluate what you want in love and your relationship needs instead of forging ahead into unknown territory.
As the month advances, there is a growing theme of companionship, collaborations, and close partnerships in your astrology. Relationships that involve advice-giving, agent work, and counseling can also figure strongly. While relationships could have challenging moments, you seem to need some companionship to bring out the best in you now. You're also more sensitive to imbalances in your life, and you may be seeking more harmony.
The North Node moves into your communications sector this month, where it will visit for eighteen months. During this cycle, some of the greatest joys and challenges will likely emerge through learning, communication, and connecting. It's a time to develop your communication skills and enjoy more lighthearted chats, connections, studies, and personal interests. Reaching out can be most rewarding.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
July 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 22nd:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From July 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde from July 22nd to September 3rd:
Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well.
Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined.
It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle.
However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your seventh house of one-to-one partnerships. Misunderstandings with your partner now can be troublesome.
If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't overreact to what your partner has to say either. A close partner could be distant emotionally, or a partnership can appear stalled for the time being - something is up in the air. However, this is a good time to take a breather and to get in better touch with your feelings on a matter - you need this!
Watch also for less than warm relations with family members, and avoid purchases of new property just for the time being.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until July 10th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
From July 11-28:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
From July 28th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 10th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From the 10th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

July 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From July 1-16:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

July 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 12th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From July 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until July 6th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.
From July 6-22:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house.

While work and mundane matters often take center stage, there is nothing basic about these affairs right now. It's a time to put new spins on your routines, daily duties, and tasks. Organizing the little things will benefit you all around and is the primary key to success this month. You enjoy helping others, and people tend to be grateful for it. You're enjoying activities and projects that bring intrinsic rewards.
If you've been overlooking your needs for rest and time away from work or duties, then the Full Moon on the 3rd will serve as a nudge to come to a better work-life balance. It might also bring the fruition of a work matter or a secret to light.
Look to Mars' move to your solar eighth house on the 10th for inspiration – you might find a project to throw yourself into, particularly if it requires investigation or deep research. On-the-surface heat in relationships can lessen, but some deeper issues may emerge for handling. This cycle turns the heat up on the more intricate elements of relating.
The New Moon on the 17th brings a charge of energy to your sector of work, health, and habits, and you're in a commanding position for fresh new starts in these areas of life.
Questioning your plans is likely, and entirely necessary from the 22nd. A close partner may be distant or hard to read with Venus retrograde from this date forward. Some disconnects in the love department are possible. These will begin to clear up in September. For now, try not to push matters (or others). Give them space, and give yourself space as well! Relationships can be tricky, especially if you focus too intensely on problem areas, which is a real tendency.
While Venus is retrograde from the 22nd forward, there can be some complications or confusion surrounding a partnership. A close partner could be distant emotionally, or a relationship can appear stalled for the time being. People in your life may seem to be "on the fence." Take your time and avoid trying to rush matters.
During this retrograde Venus cycle (from July 22nd-September 3rd), life shows you where things are losing their appeal or no longer supporting you. The pleasure factor may be missing. You can feel undecided, in limbo, or unsatisfied. However, this is not to torture you but to prompt a reexamination that ideally leads to improvements. Use this period to re-evaluate what you want in love and your relationship needs instead of forging ahead into unknown territory.
As the month advances, there is a growing theme of companionship, collaborations, and close partnerships in your astrology. Relationships that involve advice-giving, agent work, and counseling can also figure strongly. While relationships could have challenging moments, you seem to need some companionship to bring out the best in you now. You're also more sensitive to imbalances in your life, and you may be seeking more harmony.
The North Node moves into your communications sector this month, where it will visit for eighteen months. During this cycle, some of the greatest joys and challenges will likely emerge through learning, communication, and connecting. It's a time to develop your communication skills and enjoy more lighthearted chats, connections, studies, and personal interests. Reaching out can be most rewarding.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
