Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
July 2022 Monthly Aries Horoscope Summary:
You're discovering better ways to manage the work-life balance this month, dear Aries, but it's also a time to pour more energy into your security, home, and personal life. There can be new beginnings or attitudes toward living arrangements and family and home-related affairs.
From the 5th, Mars moves out of your sign and into your resources sector. You're moving on and forward, and your desire to take charge of your finances strengthens. You can be a little tough with yourself about making money or producing and perhaps a little tough on others if you're not feeling valued. You're also quite motivated to work harder.
You could gain more courage or desire to take a few risks in your business or with finances. While you should certainly be careful with spending impulsively, this can be a generally good time to breathe new life into old projects or consider ways to break out of a rut.
July's energies are good for tackling problems on both personal and business levels. You're likely to feel optimistic about money matters or living conditions, even if you're making changes you hadn't anticipated. The key now is working with what you have and doing so resourcefully. Fortunately, it's easier than usual to get into a positive and determined frame of mind.
Both Chiron and Jupiter, currently transiting your sign and pointing you in the direction of healing, turn retrograde this month. You might begin to recognize areas of excess and focus on projects you've already taken on rather than adding new ones to your life. If you've been overdoing pleasures or freedom-seeking, this is the time to rethink and make adjustments that bring you down to earth, just a little! The healing energy that you've been radiating turns inward, making it a fine time for efforts to heal yourself. People have been seeking your good vibes, assistance, healing powers, and advice, and it's appropriate now to get in closer touch with your own issues.
You are likely to feel strongly protective of your loved ones this month. Your goal is to find solutions to long-standing problems. You come across well in your communications and get along happily with classmates, siblings, and acquaintances with Venus in your communications sector until the 17th. You might learn something of great use or enjoy new or improved means of transportation and communication—your enjoyment of learning or pursuing your personal interests skyrockets. Conversations can be fun, romantic, or heartwarming. People are receptive to your ideas and want to hear from you! Success tends to come through word of mouth or bright ideas.
The Full Moon on the 13th can bring a turning point to a career or life path matter, or it can pull up a responsibility. This lunation reminds you of your outside obligations after much attention to your personal life. You could find that you're suddenly in the spotlight or in the position to manage or lead. Instead, you might arrive at a meaningful realization about your work, true calling, business, career, reputation, or true feelings about your life's direction.
With Venus heading into your home and family zone on the 17th, you might seek refuge from demanding situations or quiet time more often than usual. Some hesitancy or caution when it comes to love, the pursuit of pleasure, and money is likely. Improved living conditions and arrangements or family relationships can be in the spotlight, and it's an excellent time to improve your relationships with loved ones and comfort levels on the home front.
Later July is powerful for finding a better balance between attention to emotional and family concerns and attention to amusement and recreation. At the same time, your desire for fun and expression is ramping up with Mercury and the Sun moving into your sector of joy on the 19th and 22nd. A new plan to enjoy and express yourself more often can take off after the New Moon on the 28th.
A romantic attraction might motivate you, or you take an interest in growing and improving your creative pursuits and connections. Your best self shines through in what you're doing as you close out the month.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
July 2022 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2022
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until July 17th:
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 17th:
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.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 4th:
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 5-19:
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.
From the 19th forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
From the 5th forward:
Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.
You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

AND Aries Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aries:
July 2022 Career, & General Trends
July 2022
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.

July 2022 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 12th:
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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 9th:
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 July 9th 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.

You can be a little tough with yourself about making money or producing and perhaps a little tough on others if you're not feeling valued. You're also quite motivated to work harder.
You could gain more courage or desire to take a few risks in your business or with finances. While you should certainly be careful with spending impulsively, this can be a generally good time to breathe new life into old projects or consider ways to break out of a rut.
July's energies are good for tackling problems on both personal and business levels. You're likely to feel optimistic about money matters or living conditions, even if you're making changes you hadn't anticipated. The key now is working with what you have and doing so resourcefully. Fortunately, it's easier than usual to get into a positive and determined frame of mind.
Both Chiron and Jupiter, currently transiting your sign and pointing you in the direction of healing, turn retrograde this month. You might begin to recognize areas of excess and focus on projects you've already taken on rather than adding new ones to your life. If you've been overdoing pleasures or freedom-seeking, this is the time to rethink and make adjustments that bring you down to earth, just a little! The healing energy that you've been radiating turns inward, making it a fine time for efforts to heal yourself. People have been seeking your good vibes, assistance, healing powers, and advice, and it's appropriate now to get in closer touch with your own issues.
You are likely to feel strongly protective of your loved ones this month. Your goal is to find solutions to long-standing problems. You come across well in your communications and get along happily with classmates, siblings, and acquaintances with Venus in your communications sector until the 17th. You might learn something of great use or enjoy new or improved means of transportation and communication—your enjoyment of learning or pursuing your personal interests skyrockets. Conversations can be fun, romantic, or heartwarming. People are receptive to your ideas and want to hear from you! Success tends to come through word of mouth or bright ideas.
The Full Moon on the 13th can bring a turning point to a career or life path matter, or it can pull up a responsibility. This lunation reminds you of your outside obligations after much attention to your personal life. You could find that you're suddenly in the spotlight or in the position to manage or lead. Instead, you might arrive at a meaningful realization about your work, true calling, business, career, reputation, or true feelings about your life's direction.
With Venus heading into your home and family zone on the 17th, you might seek refuge from demanding situations or quiet time more often than usual. Some hesitancy or caution when it comes to love, the pursuit of pleasure, and money is likely. Improved living conditions and arrangements or family relationships can be in the spotlight, and it's an excellent time to improve your relationships with loved ones and comfort levels on the home front.
Later July is powerful for finding a better balance between attention to emotional and family concerns and attention to amusement and recreation. At the same time, your desire for fun and expression is ramping up with Mercury and the Sun moving into your sector of joy on the 19th and 22nd. A new plan to enjoy and express yourself more often can take off after the New Moon on the 28th.
A romantic attraction might motivate you, or you take an interest in growing and improving your creative pursuits and connections. Your best self shines through in what you're doing as you close out the month.

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 fifth 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.
