What an exciting time to be a Cancer! July is your birthday month, which means it's time to celebrate your solar return and all the amazing things coming your way. The Sun is shining brightly in your sign, along with lucky Jupiter, creating a perfect storm of confidence and good fortune.

You're probably feeling pretty great about yourself right now, and you should have plenty of energy to tackle whatever comes your way. However, with sweet Venus spending most of the month in your private sector and fiery Mars stirring things up in your communication area, you might find yourself choosing quiet spa days and peaceful retreats over big birthday parties.

This month marks the start of a brand new chapter in your home and family life as you build momentum toward your most important goals. At the same time, a major public project that's been demanding your attention since April 2023 is finally wrapping up and will soon reach its conclusion.

Something almost miraculous might happen related to a dream or long-term goal you've always wanted to pursue. This opportunity may feel too good to be true, but it probably isn't. Of course, do your homework to make sure everything is legitimate, but this is definitely the time to go after what you want most. What a beautiful birthday gift for July Cancers!

You might have moments where you sit back in disbelief that this is actually happening, and then start thinking you're not the right person for this chance. Don't let negative thoughts block your blessings - you were chosen for this moment, so enjoy it and give it everything you've got.

Venus sliding into your privacy zone on the 4th creates perfect conditions for quiet time with your sweetheart, adding extra sweetness to your summer. A staycation sounds absolutely perfect right now. When Uranus connects with Venus on the 7th, your intuition gets a major boost, and unconscious memories might surface.

Trust your gut feelings and work on making peace with your past. The full moon in Capricorn on the 10th puts a bright spotlight on your closest relationships, and this might be when a relationship undergoes a significant change. You might need to say goodbye to someone or establish new boundaries.

A big theme this summer is finding better balance between your work life and personal relationships. Your partner has been incredibly supportive through so much over the past few years, and now you're finally in a position to return those favors and show your love.

Around the middle of the month, you might notice that you can be pretty strict in all kinds of partnerships. You're deeply passionate, but you definitely know what you like and don't like. This could be a good time to work on letting go of that controlling side of yourself. Remember to manage projects, not people!

A work review might be coming up this month, and there's a great chance it could be eye-opening about what you need to do to reach the next level. You might also receive some well-deserved rewards for the excellent work you're already doing.

Mercury goes retrograde on the 18th in your money sector, which could create some financial confusion for about three weeks. It's probably best to be extra careful with your spending until this period passes. The good news is that this retrograde period is actually a great opportunity to do a detailed review of your finances.

Money struggles from earlier in the year are finally getting resolved as you enter a completely new financial era with the new moon in Leo on the 24th. This new moon might bring a raise, bonus, or entirely new source of income your way.

By the end of the month, you'll have developed a much stronger sense of self-worth, and other people can definitely see this positive change in you. Venus entering your sign on the 30th gives you an absolutely gorgeous glow that will turn heads and open doors for you going into August.
