July 2021 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July 2021

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until July 11th:

The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.

Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.

From July 12th forward:

The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.

It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.

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

Until July 13th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.

From July 13th 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 3rd: 

Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.

Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

From July 3-22 forward: 

Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.

This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.

You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

From July 23rd forward: 

With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.

It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.

This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.

Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until July 13th:

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 July 14th 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:

July 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:

July can be an exciting and dynamic month for you, dear Cancer, and it's a time for new beginnings. Your personal presence is large until the 22nd, and your voice is powerful from the 11-27. You’re in an excellent position for decisiveness and credibility--you're making a mark and leaving an impression.

This can be a time of actively pursuing more ways to make money or augment your income. Instead, you might more actively fight for or defend your value, perhaps calling out those who don’t treat you with the respect you deserve.

Although you can have fantastic new ideas about what you want, how to make money, and how to spend money, you're inclined to overdo in these areas. See if impulses pass quickly before jumping in. It's possible you acquire items of the dream variety, whether through generous gifts or from some self-pampering.

There could be a disagreement about money or resources, or you might feel blocked or opposed by limits to your freedom to seek pleasure, make a purchase, or pursue a particular goal.

However, you can bring great creativity and dynamism to your practical or business endeavors, discovering new ways to earn more and enjoying yourself. You might gain some praise or admiration for your creative talents, and a financial boost is possible as Venus and Mars meet in your resources sector. You can feel incredibly passionate about your job, business, and personal possessions — whatever you’re currently building can excite you now. Your heart is engaged, and feelings are intense but steady. You’ll see quite clearly which areas of your life can use some reinvention, and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to business!

Chiron's retrograde is a little different, however. You may need to slow down when it comes to a career matter from the 15th. Your experiences now can prompt a desire to examine why you may have been overcompensating, procrastinating, or worrying about responsibilities, long-term goals, or reputation.

You continue to redefine certain friendships or see friends in a different light, which can be surprising and can keep your mind turning around quite a bit, especially around the 3rd and 8th.

The New Moon on the 9th occurs in your sign and is a high point for you--you can ride on its waves for several weeks. It’s a time for personal reinvention. Set your intentions on the New Moon but give it a bit of time before launching a new project, enterprise, or look. Renewal, coming out of the background, getting attention, making decisions, things moving forward – these are all strong themes now. You're seizing the moment and making an impression.

It's a good time for communicating, sharing, and expressing your ideas and beliefs. Learning, publishing, and transportation are favorable. The detours you take from your usual routine can be invigorating on a mental level.

The Sun begins its month-long transit of your resources sector on the 22-23, and in the coming weeks, you're seeking a little more security and predictability than usual. It's a good time to take stock, attend to your valuables, and get a better sense of what you can accomplish. Your view of your capabilities is marked and realistic during this stabilizing cycle.

Mars will move out of this area of your solar chart on the 29th, but the Sun and Mercury move in on the 22-23 and 27th, respectively. You become more invested in your things, values, money, valuables, and talents. You have the energy to invest in your plans and move them forward. Your thinking is especially sharp related to business. You have good money sense, and negotiations are favored. There may be an argument about money or property, however.

A Full Moon on the 23rd adds wide-open emotions to the mix! This can mean awakening to a desire or feeling that you’ve buried or overlooked, likely related to sharing, give and take, power dynamics, ownership, intimacy, and finances. There can be epiphanies about financial or emotional support and dependencies. Settling debt, receiving money or credit, shuffling money sources, or surprising relationship developments are possibilities now.

With Jupiter moving back into your intimacy sector from the 28th forward, you can be returning to a project or relationship matter that consumes much of your attention.

The last week of the month can bring to a head an issue brewing over an ownership or intimate matter. Feelings of independence and the desire to show that you can take care of yourself are prominent, while others might make tempting offers of support. In many ways, you're revving up, but it's best not to take things over the top. For example, if you've been overspending or over-borrowing, or too dependent on others for your happiness, then this is a time to recognize the need to bring things back into balance.

Enthusiasm builds regarding new ventures or enterprises related to communications, ideas, learning, and teaching or guiding. Your pioneering and progressive ideas are winners, and you can be successful in putting an inhibition related to expressing yourself behind you.
