It’s horoscope time! Check out what’s in store for you this month by reading through the larger themes of these July 2023 horoscopes, then finding your specific sign below.

James Baldwin once wrote, “You have to decide who you are and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you.” Consider this sentiment and practice the art of life, one articulated almost seamlessly by July’s critical mass of executing change through clarity of vision and strength of intent.

There’s a lot to accomplish this month, a tone of diligence set by a Capricorn full moon onJuly 3. Leaning into the details and specifics could make the work of it more pleasurable and satisfying. You—and your reputation—is a work of art on exhibition, for better or for worse. And naturally, we all crave respect and admiration. But this lunation digs deep, challenging each of us to review our efforts in accordance with the fruits of our labor. Have you truly flexed your capabilities in the light of your ambitions? Chances are, you can go further. Saddle up and ride to the edges of your talent once the stamina of Mars hitches to the earthy dedication of Virgo onJuly 10. There’s work to be done.

Emotional investment is often key to any job well done and well celebrated, an attitude articulated by a Cancer new moon onJuly 17. New beginnings initiated now are all but guaranteed to tie into your heartstrings, making the bloom of eventual success smell all the sweeter.

And all that’s rather tame compared to the true change-maker of July: Venus, ruler of love, luxury, aesthetic beauty, and money, spirals into a rare retrograde phase lasting fromJuly 22until9月3日. (Yes, that’s most of the summer for the Northern Hemisphere earthlings—cue the sad trombone lick.) With Venus in Leo, matters of pleasure, fun and creativity in the face of love, beauty, and money will largely be up for revision.

How you see yourself and what you choose to present to the public will change. How you approach intimacy and relating to others is just as likely to shift. Though this is bound to be a vexing time, this stretch of weeks is tailor-made for reinvention and rehab. That’s kind of fun, isn’t it? Sure, stark realizations necessitating unavoidable course corrections may be stressful or shocking at first, but you’ll have carte blanche in how you choose to redesign and refurnish your value system. This is an exciting time of workshopping yourself before the big reveal. So, cushion your summer schedule with plenty of time to cocoon yourself in comfort—you are, after all, a work of art in progress.
