Overview for this Month: Taurus (All)
Horoscope Overview for July 2019 for Taurus:
The month, in a general way, is better for observing, reviewing, and firming up your life, dear Taurus, as it's not ideal for pushing ahead. Mars, as it moves into your home and family sector on July 1st, doesn't agree! It's stirring you up, encouraging you to do something productive or just plain active with family or at home. Many of you will be redecorating and reorganizing your home or personal space in July. Mars in this area of your chart without outlets or channels for expressing excess energy, however, can be disruptive, stirring up restlessness and grumpiness instead. It's something to watch out for, especially around the 8-10 when Mercury is newly retrograde and introduces delays, meets up with Mars, and clashes with Uranus in your sign. This is one of the month's more significant challenges, and at least you're mentally prepared. Impulsive moves and words are likely now, and they can be challenging to control.
There are two eclipses this month, which is another reason to slow down. They fall along your communications axis, stimulating your desire for variety, mental stimulation, and contact. The need for new beginnings on the lines of communicating, learning, and commuting can become clear in July. Sometimes systems break down with this influence, forcing new ways of doing things, and for you, this can very well be about transportation and electronics. While they're frustrating, new worlds can open up as you move through the world just a little differently and discover new channels for expressing yourself and connecting with others.
Venus helps out as it heads into your communications sector on the 3rd and sticks around until the 27th. This transit boosts your communication skills and enhances the pleasure you take in sharing and learning. You may be verbalizing your affections with success, and loving words or sweet talk can figure strongly. Mind you, Mercury is retrograde from the 7-31, and from the 19-31, this happens in your communications sector, introducing some complications! You're likely to get away with it in the end, but there can certainly be some misunderstandings now. Mercury's retrograde is a good time for processing and catching up. If you've been racing ahead of yourself, you may have missed something important, and now is your chance to discover it or simply digest things.
You might want to watch for taking on too much, as your eyes may be bigger than your stomach right now. Eclipses can wipe us out energetically before they act to rebuild our motivation and energy levels. Particularly around the Lunar Eclipse on the 16th, overbooking feels regrettable. You seem to need to schedule in time to feed your spirit with learning or interesting adventures, however, so that you can come back to your daily affairs feeling refreshed.
Money-making ideas can come from dreams or from something you remember from the past. Home life is more animated, and family life demands more of your time, but the focus on your personal life is increasingly more pleasant as the month advances. While there may be slowdowns in your home life or the revisiting of old problems with family from the 7-19, your heart is with your home, and you're ready and willing to make improvements if it increases your chances of getting comfortable. You seem to need a healthy dose of familiarity now.
A whole new look at an old relationship or project can inspire you on the 20-24. From the 23-25, personal, financial, or domestic matters can be especially rewarding and fruitful. Support on mental, physical, financial, or spiritual levels can come now, whether you are giving it or receiving it. There can be pleasant intensity or activity in an intimate relationship and possibly with home projects. You may be exploring new ways of relating to people you care about.

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:
July 2019 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 22nd:
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 23rd forward:
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.
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 third house, suggesting a new approach to communications projects, learning, or self-expression. A new position in the neighborhood, relocation, or increased interaction with others may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle your daily activities. This is a phase in which you have an increased awareness of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.
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 ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind 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, for example, as a circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you've been working on, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until July 2nd:
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 3-27:
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. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
From July 28th forward:
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
Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
From the 2nd forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:
July 2019 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 7th to 31st
Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place!

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 17th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From the 18th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front.

Taurus (Born May 11 to 21) AND Taurus Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Taurus:
July 2019 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2019
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 11th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From July 12th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.

A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

Horoscope Overview for July 2019 for Taurus:
The month, in a general way, is better for observing, reviewing, and firming up your life, dear Taurus, as it's not ideal for pushing ahead. Mars, as it moves into your home and family sector on July 1st, doesn't agree! It's stirring you up, encouraging you to do something productive or just plain active with family or at home. Many of you will be redecorating and reorganizing your home or personal space in July. Mars in this area of your chart without outlets or channels for expressing excess energy, however, can be disruptive, stirring up restlessness and grumpiness instead. It's something to watch out for, especially around the 8-10 when Mercury is newly retrograde and introduces delays, meets up with Mars, and clashes with Uranus in your sign. This is one of the month's more significant challenges, and at least you're mentally prepared. Impulsive moves and words are likely now, and they can be challenging to control.
There are two eclipses this month, which is another reason to slow down. They fall along your communications axis, stimulating your desire for variety, mental stimulation, and contact. The need for new beginnings on the lines of communicating, learning, and commuting can become clear in July. Sometimes systems break down with this influence, forcing new ways of doing things, and for you, this can very well be about transportation and electronics. While they're frustrating, new worlds can open up as you move through the world just a little differently and discover new channels for expressing yourself and connecting with others.
Venus helps out as it heads into your communications sector on the 3rd and sticks around until the 27th. This transit boosts your communication skills and enhances the pleasure you take in sharing and learning. You may be verbalizing your affections with success, and loving words or sweet talk can figure strongly. Mind you, Mercury is retrograde from the 7-31, and from the 19-31, this happens in your communications sector, introducing some complications! You're likely to get away with it in the end, but there can certainly be some misunderstandings now. Mercury's retrograde is a good time for processing and catching up. If you've been racing ahead of yourself, you may have missed something important, and now is your chance to discover it or simply digest things.
You might want to watch for taking on too much, as your eyes may be bigger than your stomach right now. Eclipses can wipe us out energetically before they act to rebuild our motivation and energy levels. Particularly around the Lunar Eclipse on the 16th, overbooking feels regrettable. You seem to need to schedule in time to feed your spirit with learning or interesting adventures, however, so that you can come back to your daily affairs feeling refreshed.
Money-making ideas can come from dreams or from something you remember from the past. Home life is more animated, and family life demands more of your time, but the focus on your personal life is increasingly more pleasant as the month advances. While there may be slowdowns in your home life or the revisiting of old problems with family from the 7-19, your heart is with your home, and you're ready and willing to make improvements if it increases your chances of getting comfortable. You seem to need a healthy dose of familiarity now.
A whole new look at an old relationship or project can inspire you on the 20-24. From the 23-25, personal, financial, or domestic matters can be especially rewarding and fruitful. Support on mental, physical, financial, or spiritual levels can come now, whether you are giving it or receiving it. There can be pleasant intensity or activity in an intimate relationship and possibly with home projects. You may be exploring new ways of relating to people you care about.

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. Transits don’t 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, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
