July 2022 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July 2022

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.

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

Until July 17th: 

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 17th: 

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.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 4th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.

From the 5-19:

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.

From the 19th forward:

With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.

Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 4th:

Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.

This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

From the 5th forward:

Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.

As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Overview Horoscope:

July 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:

July spotlights your personal plans, image, initiative, confidence, and happiness goals, dear Cancer. You begin the month just after a New Moon in your sign, enabling you to start fresh on a personal level.

Using your personality and influence to advance your interests can be especially effective in July. You are getting noticed, and even minor improvements to your manner and appearance can have a significant impact. Venus will give you a helping hand from the 17th forward as it moves into your sign, reminding you to pamper yourself and also framing you well in others' eyes.

But as early as the 5th, you get extra support from the planets. On that date, Mercury heads into your sign, and Mars into harmony with Cancer. Teamwork can be enjoyable and useful at once. It's unusually straightforward to make a friend or enjoy a current friendship with positivity and boldness. It can be a time to lend someone a hand or act upon an idea with much satisfaction. You're resilient and mentally sharp.

People are especially interested in what you have to say, and in your advice and opinions, especially from the 5-19. While Venus in your sign from the 17th forward increases your powers of attraction in general, your appeal is magical most of the month – you're drawing others in. You radiate good energy and attract positive attention and feedback.

July is a power period, although you begin the month reassessing projects and plans before pushing forward. You have a strong presence, but you can be rather hard to get in touch with on some levels until Mercury enters Cancer on the 5th and Venus on the 17th. Yes, you're still reflecting and considering your next step, but you have more power than usual to take charge and make an impact.

There is a big emphasis on self-starting and independent ventures, but you're also in solid shape with friendships, groups, teams, and new long-term goals. This is a strong month for feeling motivated to make meaningful connections, researching a new plan, and having extra courage to make a new friend or join a group.

Still, your affectionate nature is a little withdrawn, reflective, and more private than usual until the 17th, after which you're clearer about who and what you want. You could be on the fence about your love feelings or attracted to complicated relationships. Or, you're doing some soul-searching about your affections, enjoying more privacy in your love life, or putting aside your feelings to pay more attention to other areas of life.

The Full Moon on the 13th occurs in the sign opposite yours, reminding you of your relationship needs. It expands your emotions, particularly about your relationships, and you can discover your feelings on a matter, or something about you may come to light. Aim to pay special attention to what others reveal with this Full Moon occurring in your partnership sector. You might recognize your need for someone–or some quality feedback!

Around the 15-16, you want to verbalize your desires, express your ideas, and make an impact. You may be asked to speak, and you can receive quite a bit of attention. This can also be a good time for educational or adventurous opportunities.

Around the 21st, there can be a sense that you have to go back to the drawing board on a decision or plan. Paying attention to details and doing editing work -- or simply slowing things down -- can be useful strategies now.

Financial activity is a growing theme, and the last week of July is solid for work – you're especially willing to put in the hours. There could be more money invested in the home and family.

You may be seeking a fresh start with money, resources, or belongings. The New Moon on the 28th is wonderfully supportive for boosting your income or sense of self-worth and self-respect. The need to overcome problem areas or get past something is compelling now, so take advantage!

However, on the same date as the New Moon, Jupiter begins its yearly four-month retrograde cycle, and you embark on a quest for a better understanding of what truly motivates and enthuses you. Some of the faith you've been nurturing may seem to drop away, but only just enough for you to see your plans in a different, more realistic light. You might choose to return to old studies and projects to your benefit.

Being willing to make changes can bring opportunities to advance materially or emotionally. You may be redefining what it means for you to succeed, perhaps in ways that also benefit the group, and it can be satisfying. You're standing out as incredibly unique.
