July 2020 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July 2020

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. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.

From July 12th forward:

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.

Eclipses

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on July 5th:

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 ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind 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 circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you've been working on, and other such possibilities.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 26th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.

From the 27th forward: 

With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury continues its retrograde period until the 12th

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.

Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.

After July 12th, these matters tend to turn around or information clogs clear.

Until the 29th:

Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.

As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.

From the 30th:

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

This month:

Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.

This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.

Overview Horoscope:

July 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:

July continues a strong focus on your personal world, dear Aries. While your attention is mostly drawn towards personal matters, domestic affairs, and family, the first week of the month requires you to perform and produce with a Lunar Eclipse lighting up your sector of career, responsibility, and reputation.

Home life is animated, but not always smooth in the first twelve days of the month. Still, any backtracking you need to do now will contribute greatly to the strength of future plans.

Events and circumstances occurring around the 5th give you a push to handle professional matters, especially if you've been distracted or focused too heavily on personal affairs. This comes shortly after Saturn moves back into this same sector of your solar chart. In the months ahead (until December 17th), you may be revisiting a work project or tying up loose ends to firm up your professional life or the major plans and structures of your life. It’s a good time for processing the lessons and attitude changes that have occurred, and for coming to a stronger feeling of responsibility and accomplishment.

The realizations you experience now help you make a decision that you may have toyed with for some time. While your emotions may feel too strong at the time of the eclipse, as you process them, you’re likely to gain tremendous clarity about the right path for you.

Renovations, redecorating, and making improvements that allow more freedom as well as organization and comfort on the home front can have long-lasting results. There is a lot going on on the inside again this month.

Venus is no longer retrograde, having turned direct in the last week of June, and this shift can lead to improved relations and communications. Of course, Mercury is retrograde until the 12th, so things are not necessarily smooth sailing, but you're clearer about your feelings. You'll find studies, learning, and personal interests more engaging again. There can be easier connections. Any recent difficulties can be smoothed over with simple gestures and kind words.

Mars in your sign for an extended stay boosts your ability to assert yourself, but it can also increase your impatience at times. Take a good look at what makes you angry, especially when it seems to be irrational, and work on ways to express excess energy constructively. Energy levels are strong in July, but be careful not to take on too much. When Mars is retrograde in your sign later this year, from September 9-November 13, you may be retracing some of the steps you're taking in late July and August. However, while short-term projects begun now might fizzle out later, you can certainly plant some seeds for long-range plans.

From the 22nd forward, there is a growing focus on entertainment, romance, and creative self-expression. You're likely to end the month far more outgoing and confident than you began it. July ends on a high note, with more time for recreation, and increased faith in life, in general. As you pay more attention to your mental and emotional health, you feel stronger in your career, or you experience more meaningfulness and purpose with your responsibilities.
