July 2019 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July 2019

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until July 22nd:

The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.

You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.

From July 23rd forward:

The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.

This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.

Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.

This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

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 first house, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your appearance and mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to how you assert your needs and express yourself to others. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your own needs. It's a very powerful time for you--a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

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 seventh house. Surprises surrounding partnerships and relationships 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 as, for example, a surprising revelation from a partner, a circumstance that calls for you to support a significant other, a flurry of activity prompted by a partner's needs or demands for your services from the general public, and other such possibilities. You now have a natural flair for sensing the needs and desires of the general public. You are likely to draw highly emotional and sensitive individuals into your social circle. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

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

Until July 2nd:

Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.

From July 3-27:

You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.

From July 28th forward:

Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until July 18th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal communications in general as well as communications about the past because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your intuition usually serves you very well, but may not be up to par for the time being. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, writing letters, and any detail work. You may not be seeing the whole picture.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

From the 2nd 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.

Overview Horoscope:

Horoscope Overview for July 2019 for Cancer:

Shortly after July begins, a Solar Eclipse occurs in your sign, dear Cancer, making the first days of the month essential for review, meditation, and activities that help you purge or process and release negative energy. Going forward, you're likely to find yourself at a turning point or experiencing a significant shift. Mind you, this eclipse is part of a series that began last year and ends next July, so that you're in the middle of this powerful process in which you're reinventing yourself in a significant way, getting in touch with your personal power and independence. You're making changes to how you approach the world, and as you do, you'll find that you attract different experiences and people into your life.

In many ways, July is a power month for you, but it is also likely to be stressful at times. Keep in mind that the eclipses on the 2nd and 16th are stronger on you than most other signs, and this can feel draining, but life seems to be demanding more from you than usual as planets and points in your sign oppose Saturn and Pluto this month. Helping you wind down from some of the chaos is Mars leaving your sign at the top of the month, encouraging you to pace yourself.

While Mercury's retrograde from the 7-31 does add something to the hectic quality of the month, it's also encouraging you to slow down! From the 19 to 31, Mercury is retrograde in your sign, and you are likely to be in a cautious frame of mind. Avoid pushing matters. Consider whether certain decisions need to be made just yet. You're likely to be self-involved this month, but it's a necessary process. Around the 8-9, a conflict in mid-June may re-emerge in a new way. It's vital to avoid rashness and sharp words that you can't take back. The cosmos seem to encourage you to mature in some manner this month, whether it's through meeting your responsibilities, getting organized in some regions of your life, facing areas of past neglect or waste, or dealing with health or motivation issues that have been developing under the surface of things. Your personal impact is strong now, but you may feel tiny or neglected before you get to the point when you're recognizing this strength. Again, this is a process!

While Mars leaves your sign, Venus enters it on the 3rd, and this serves to pull out and highlight your natural grace. If you want others to see things from your perspective, this is a good time, even if it's only the first stage in the process of sharing yourself with someone. Friends find their way to you in July, or you experience a lovely sense of community. Your personal magnetism and attractiveness increase impressively. You are warmer and more approachable. While it's not always the case, your ability to open yourself up to others seems to be directly proportional to the opportunities that open up to you this month.

Your enthusiasm for self-discovery has been active in recent weeks, and may seem to take a hit in July, but then rebuilds as the month advances, ideally in a steadier, healthier way. This new well you're drawing from has far more potential to last. The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th may bring with it a surprising revelation, or a close relationship can begin, blossom, or demand your attention. Your independent side has been prominent recently, and while it's not letting up, you are softening rough edges. Nevertheless, you are still fighting for your rights, and you are demanding a show of respect.

On the 23-25, you can enjoy a strong desire to improve, grow, and develop, particularly with your work, talents, money, and habits. You're super motivated to improve your health and wellness and to appreciate and enjoy your everyday life more thoroughly. You feel that you can accomplish practically anything you set your mind to, and motivation to make more money or enjoy the work you do is on the rise. An opportunity can emerge to put your talents and skills to full use. The month ends with Mercury turning direct in your sign and a second New Moon, this time in your solar second house. Venus has just recently entered this area of your chart, and it's an excellent start to a period in which you're determined to enjoy the moment. The weeks ahead are good for matters related to money and comfort, as well as taking care of business with a creative and warm touch.
