Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
Horoscope Overview for July 2019 for Aries:
Family or home matters are in the spotlight in July, dear Aries. Even though the pressures are on in many ways, this is a time for honoring your need for comfort, safety, love, nurturing, and familiarity. At the same time, a strong and building theme of love, leisure, and creativity runs through the month, and you're likely to find some wonderful channels for enjoyment. Changes in the organization of your home or with family members may be in order. You received your first push in this direction a year ago, and the final boost will occur a year from now--we're in the middle of an eclipse set that falls along your career-home axis. This is about bringing more balance to your life, and the key at this time seems to be self-discipline and structure applied to your career and responsibilities without overdoing this quest. The challenge is to bring more of yourself to your personal life instead of being only half present.
Important conversations and communications occur in July that require special attention. It's also a strong month for entertaining and peace-making with family. Domestic matters seem to take precedence, and this is ideal for you at this time. With Mars moving into your solar fifth house and into harmony with your sign on the 1st, personal energy is significantly improved--it can feel as if a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. This extra "get up and go" does wonders for your outlook. Mars is your planetary ruler, boosting its influence on you, so a harmonious relationship between your sign and Mars can feel especially motivating.
Periodically, a strong focus on career goals, along with the re-emergence of increased responsibilities and workloads, can leave you feeling pressured or scrutinized, but the adjustments you make as a result will dramatically improve your potential for success. While your heart is with home and family and making changes that help to bring more peace and beauty to your domestic life, you won't have an easy time enjoying these things if you don't handle your work to satisfaction. Adjusting your expectations of yourself seems important now since something has to give a little to enjoy a gain.
July is a potentially excellent month for romance with Mars in your romance sector from the start, retrograde Mercury retreating from it on the 19th, the Sun moving into this sector on the 22nd, and then Venus following suit on the 27th. The month is capped off by a New Moon in this same area of your chart, just when Mercury ends its retrograde. It's an expressive time, and your love life may be up and down, but at least it is active! For some, this energy is more about experiencing a nice creative burst and finding great energy in creating things that make you proud.
Until the 6th, learning and connecting can be highly enjoyable. Mercury turns retrograde on the 7th and this may introduce some delays or redirections that temporarily deflate you. Aim to slow down a little and give people space. There can be some backtracking affecting your romantic relationships or projects, but it also gives you the chance to rethink certain plans and get them right. The 8-11 requires patience and restraint with Mars wanting to push ahead, aligning with retrograde Mercury, and squaring off with Uranus. Impulsive moves and words should be avoided now. It's a period when adjusting to a slower pace can be uncomfortable but it's also temporary. Mercury retrograde periods are fertile for review and reflection, especially for you on the 20-24 when a new perspective on the past benefits you, but the beginning and end dates can be rather charged and disorienting.
Mars and Jupiter are moving in harmonious signs this month, and form a powerful trine on the 23-25, suggesting emerging opportunities for you to express yourself in new and satisfying ways, get creative, make fun connections, travel, learn new things, or even fall in love. You're feeling more courageous and willing to try new things. You can have an exciting new hobby or personal interest, and you're looking to freshen your mind with new possibilities. This can be a time for discovering a new channel for expressing yourself.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
July 2019 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From July 23rd forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Eclipses
A total Solar Eclipse occurs on July 2nd: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar fourth house, suggesting a new approach to domestic affairs, home, and family. A new set-up in an existing home or a new home altogether may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your domestic routines, comfort, and feeling of security. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for a solid foundation--a place to return to when the rest of the world is getting on your nerves.
A partial Lunar Eclipse occurs on July 16th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar tenth house. Surprises surrounding career and reputation matters may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a career change or challenge that you didn't expect, a surprise revelation from a coworker or boss, a new promotion or career direction dropped into your lap, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until July 2nd:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From July 3-27:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
From July 28th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
From the 2nd forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

July 2019 Career, & General Trends
July 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st
Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 17th:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.
From the 18th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends.

July 2019
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 11th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems.

Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
This month:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

Horoscope Overview for July 2019 for Aries:
Family or home matters are in the spotlight in July, dear Aries. Even though the pressures are on in many ways, this is a time for honoring your need for comfort, safety, love, nurturing, and familiarity. At the same time, a strong and building theme of love, leisure, and creativity runs through the month, and you're likely to find some wonderful channels for enjoyment. Changes in the organization of your home or with family members may be in order. You received your first push in this direction a year ago, and the final boost will occur a year from now--we're in the middle of an eclipse set that falls along your career-home axis. This is about bringing more balance to your life, and the key at this time seems to be self-discipline and structure applied to your career and responsibilities without overdoing this quest. The challenge is to bring more of yourself to your personal life instead of being only half present.
Important conversations and communications occur in July that require special attention. It's also a strong month for entertaining and peace-making with family. Domestic matters seem to take precedence, and this is ideal for you at this time. With Mars moving into your solar fifth house and into harmony with your sign on the 1st, personal energy is significantly improved--it can feel as if a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. This extra "get up and go" does wonders for your outlook. Mars is your planetary ruler, boosting its influence on you, so a harmonious relationship between your sign and Mars can feel especially motivating.
Periodically, a strong focus on career goals, along with the re-emergence of increased responsibilities and workloads, can leave you feeling pressured or scrutinized, but the adjustments you make as a result will dramatically improve your potential for success. While your heart is with home and family and making changes that help to bring more peace and beauty to your domestic life, you won't have an easy time enjoying these things if you don't handle your work to satisfaction. Adjusting your expectations of yourself seems important now since something has to give a little to enjoy a gain.
July is a potentially excellent month for romance with Mars in your romance sector from the start, retrograde Mercury retreating from it on the 19th, the Sun moving into this sector on the 22nd, and then Venus following suit on the 27th. The month is capped off by a New Moon in this same area of your chart, just when Mercury ends its retrograde. It's an expressive time, and your love life may be up and down, but at least it is active! For some, this energy is more about experiencing a nice creative burst and finding great energy in creating things that make you proud.
Until the 6th, learning and connecting can be highly enjoyable. Mercury turns retrograde on the 7th and this may introduce some delays or redirections that temporarily deflate you. Aim to slow down a little and give people space. There can be some backtracking affecting your romantic relationships or projects, but it also gives you the chance to rethink certain plans and get them right. The 8-11 requires patience and restraint with Mars wanting to push ahead, aligning with retrograde Mercury, and squaring off with Uranus. Impulsive moves and words should be avoided now. It's a period when adjusting to a slower pace can be uncomfortable but it's also temporary. Mercury retrograde periods are fertile for review and reflection, especially for you on the 20-24 when a new perspective on the past benefits you, but the beginning and end dates can be rather charged and disorienting.
Mars and Jupiter are moving in harmonious signs this month, and form a powerful trine on the 23-25, suggesting emerging opportunities for you to express yourself in new and satisfying ways, get creative, make fun connections, travel, learn new things, or even fall in love. You're feeling more courageous and willing to try new things. You can have an exciting new hobby or personal interest, and you're looking to freshen your mind with new possibilities. This can be a time for discovering a new channel for expressing yourself.

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 a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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 reveal 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.
