Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
Horoscope Overview for July 2019 for Libra:
There is a powerful emphasis on matters related to your life direction, life path goals, career, responsibilities, and reputation this month, dear Libra. There is a sense that you're pushing forward and making changes in these areas, but that you need to handle some details or outstanding issues before doing so. Changes in goals, plans, and priorities may be necessary. Taking the lead or receiving more attention than usual might initially feel uncomfortable, but as you begin to believe in yourself and have confidence in your abilities, you're likely to enjoy yourself. You have Venus at the top of your solar chart from the 3-27 helping you out and enhancing both your image and your feelings of joy and pleasure with what you're doing. This can be a time of giving generously of yourself or your services.
Over the coming year, professional and personal changes and shifts are very likely, and circumstances this month serve as a further boost in this direction. This can involve aligning yourself with new goals or adjusting those already in place, and finding a better balance between work and home life can be essential to this. From the 19-31, you could be revisiting old problems in your career or dealing with issues that others have created. Even so, you also have the chance to breathe new life into projects that you shelved in the past but now seem more relevant and useful. It may be best to tone down impatience with stalled projects or difficult personalities. You may feel pressured to make a decision, but waiting it out can be a better option if you have that luxury. Most of the month is useful for smoothing over differences in your career and also for dealing with reputation issues. Just keep in mind that Mercury's retrograde from the 7-31 can mean more delays and hiccups to deal with than average. You'll have plenty of time to rework your plans in August, so do what you can to avoid stressing over details.
Your domestic life demands your strong attention in spots throughout the month, although this may seem to peak after the Lunar Eclipse on the 16th. Activity centering around your home and family can seem distracting and overwhelming at first, but can also be the start of something quite beautiful, which ultimately energizes you. You may be dealing with resurfacing pressures related to family, and related responsibilities can need your attention. It may seem counterintuitive, but taking care of these matters can help you advance your career or other areas of your life as you'll be bringing more maturity and realism to your plans and a more confident "you" to the outside world. If home life is out of balance, you'll recognize the need to get things in shape.
Make a point of spending time with friends or of being involved in group settings this month, if this doesn't happen naturally. New ideas and inspiration can be found through your networking efforts. Intellectual companionship is easy to find this month, and you may very well discover a treasure from your past along these lines. Love is mostly friendly in July, although the 8-10 can require careful handling.
Exciting new interests motivate and stimulate you. In fact, your social life, which may have been on the dry side in recent months, is picking up pace in July. You have Mars moving into your social sector on the 1st, the Sun on the 22nd, and Venus on the 27th. Mercury's retrograde from the 7th can mean there's backtracking to do, but efforts to do so can help you make the right decisions later. New relationships might seem to slow down, or something is left up in the air. It's likely that if there is some distance in a current friendship that it's temporary. When it comes to friends, you may be taking a trip down memory lane.
On the 23-25, Mars in your networking sector harmonizes with Jupiter in your communications zone, linking these matters in creative, enterprising, and successful ways. Activities with others keep you busy and motivated. Learning with study groups can be beneficial, or you might acquire new knowledge or gain inspiration from groups you connect with now. This is an excellent time for making contact, Mercury retrograde aside! Opportunities for new projects or connections can emerge, and you're making them happen by actively pursuing leads. You can feel especially inspired.
Several influences on your chart point to increased commitment to realizing success, whether success is about performance in your career, steps towards achieving your goals, or about feeling or staying on top of things. You seem to need more order in your personal life, and it's an excellent time for addressing or achieving this. By the end of the month, the focus on friendships, community, or your happiness goals seems to dominate. The month ends with a New Moon in your social sector, encouraging a fresh start at the same time that Mercury ends its retrograde.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
July 2019 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From July 23rd forward:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
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 tenth house, suggesting that a new approach to your career or a new career direction altogether is in store for you. New business plans and goals may be formed in the coming month, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a strong potential. This is a phase in which you will be especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
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 fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are 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. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until July 2nd:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From July 3-27:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
From July 28th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until July 18th:
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.
Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
From the 2nd 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).

All month:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st
Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and concerning professional matters in general, can be tricky during this cycle. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making definite career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, which is a good idea, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 17th:
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 18th 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.

July 2019 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 11th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From July 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation.

New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

Until July 19th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From July 20th forward:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st
Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and concerning professional matters in general, can be tricky during this cycle. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making definite career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, which is a good idea, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
This month:
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.
Overview Horoscope:
Horoscope Overview for July 2019 for Libra:
There is a powerful emphasis on matters related to your life direction, life path goals, career, responsibilities, and reputation this month, dear Libra. There is a sense that you're pushing forward and making changes in these areas, but that you need to handle some details or outstanding issues before doing so. Changes in goals, plans, and priorities may be necessary. Taking the lead or receiving more attention than usual might initially feel uncomfortable, but as you begin to believe in yourself and have confidence in your abilities, you're likely to enjoy yourself. You have Venus at the top of your solar chart from the 3-27 helping you out and enhancing both your image and your feelings of joy and pleasure with what you're doing. This can be a time of giving generously of yourself or your services.
Over the coming year, professional and personal changes and shifts are very likely, and circumstances this month serve as a further boost in this direction. This can involve aligning yourself with new goals or adjusting those already in place, and finding a better balance between work and home life can be essential to this. From the 19-31, you could be revisiting old problems in your career or dealing with issues that others have created. Even so, you also have the chance to breathe new life into projects that you shelved in the past but now seem more relevant and useful. It may be best to tone down impatience with stalled projects or difficult personalities. You may feel pressured to make a decision, but waiting it out can be a better option if you have that luxury. Most of the month is useful for smoothing over differences in your career and also for dealing with reputation issues. Just keep in mind that Mercury's retrograde from the 7-31 can mean more delays and hiccups to deal with than average. You'll have plenty of time to rework your plans in August, so do what you can to avoid stressing over details.
Your domestic life demands your strong attention in spots throughout the month, although this may seem to peak after the Lunar Eclipse on the 16th. Activity centering around your home and family can seem distracting and overwhelming at first, but can also be the start of something quite beautiful, which ultimately energizes you. You may be dealing with resurfacing pressures related to family, and related responsibilities can need your attention. It may seem counterintuitive, but taking care of these matters can help you advance your career or other areas of your life as you'll be bringing more maturity and realism to your plans and a more confident "you" to the outside world. If home life is out of balance, you'll recognize the need to get things in shape.
Make a point of spending time with friends or of being involved in group settings this month, if this doesn't happen naturally. New ideas and inspiration can be found through your networking efforts. Intellectual companionship is easy to find this month, and you may very well discover a treasure from your past along these lines. Love is mostly friendly in July, although the 8-10 can require careful handling.
Exciting new interests motivate and stimulate you. In fact, your social life, which may have been on the dry side in recent months, is picking up pace in July. You have Mars moving into your social sector on the 1st, the Sun on the 22nd, and Venus on the 27th. Mercury's retrograde from the 7th can mean there's backtracking to do, but efforts to do so can help you make the right decisions later. New relationships might seem to slow down, or something is left up in the air. It's likely that if there is some distance in a current friendship that it's temporary. When it comes to friends, you may be taking a trip down memory lane.
On the 23-25, Mars in your networking sector harmonizes with Jupiter in your communications zone, linking these matters in creative, enterprising, and successful ways. Activities with others keep you busy and motivated. Learning with study groups can be beneficial, or you might acquire new knowledge or gain inspiration from groups you connect with now. This is an excellent time for making contact, Mercury retrograde aside! Opportunities for new projects or connections can emerge, and you're making them happen by actively pursuing leads. You can feel especially inspired.
Several influences on your chart point to increased commitment to realizing success, whether success is about performance in your career, steps towards achieving your goals, or about feeling or staying on top of things. You seem to need more order in your personal life, and it's an excellent time for addressing or achieving this. By the end of the month, the focus on friendships, community, or your happiness goals seems to dominate. The month ends with a New Moon in your social sector, encouraging a fresh start at the same time that Mercury ends its retrograde.

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 a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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 reveal 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.
