Get ready for a month that's all about rolling up your sleeves and getting down to business, Aries. July brings you face-to-face with some pretty ordinary but essential tasks that you can't ignore any longer. Saturn, the planet that keeps us accountable, is sitting right in your sign and will start moving backward on the 13th.

This planetary shift is going to make it crystal clear what you need to focus on for the next several weeks and months. Whether you're preparing for a big athletic event, diving into a new career opportunity, or mastering a challenging skill, your secret weapon this month will be sticking to a routine and staying committed. The truth is, just showing up consistently is already putting you ahead of most people.

This is the perfect time to join a fitness group or start a daily writing practice to keep your creative juices flowing. Around the 20th, you might get some important information about your job or health situation that actually makes your life easier by removing something you've been worried about.

Your love life might hit a few speed bumps around the 23rd when you and someone special keep missing each other due to conflicting schedules. Mercury will be in retrograde starting on the 18th, which is actually a great opportunity to think deeply about what you're really looking for in a romantic partner and whether your current approach is working for you.

Your financial picture is about to become much clearer and more manageable. Uranus, the planet that brings sudden changes and surprises, is moving out of your money sector on the 7th. This is huge news because, for the first time since 2018, you'll finally have a clear understanding of your financial situation and what steps you need to take next. You might not have reached your dream income level yet, but the path to get there will be much more straightforward and easier to follow.

Something unexpected is likely to happen involving something or someone you care deeply about. You might have sensed that something was building up, even though you didn't have concrete evidence. This experience will make you want to pay more attention to your gut instincts and inner voice.

Early in July, you'll find yourself more willing to consider new and unconventional ideas, especially if you were already leaning toward thinking outside the box. Don't be surprised if your mind starts racing with fresh concepts and information coming at you from all directions.

Your professional life and public image might feel a bit fragile, particularly in the middle of the month. This sensitivity is probably connected to some emotional dissatisfaction you've been experiencing. The full moon in Capricorn on the 10th offers you a chance to let go of any professional frustrations and find more solid ground in your career.

As the month moves forward, you'll start getting inspired ideas about how to fix the areas of your life that feel unbalanced or inconsistent. However, you might also need to work through some emotional healing, especially around feelings that certain people or situations are blocking you from pursuing what you're passionate about.

The good news is that this inner healing work will feel more manageable this time around. Even though you might face some disappointment or feelings of not having enough, you'll be gentler with yourself, which will help keep your thinking clear and open to creative solutions.

Mars, your ruling planet, spends the entire month in Virgo, putting extra energy into your work life and daily habits. This transit supports your ambitions, and you might even see a promotion before July is over. Just make sure you know your boundaries and find efficient ways to handle your responsibilities at home.

Romance gets a boost when Venus moves into Gemini on the 4th, helping you find exactly the right charming words to say. When Uranus connects with Venus on the 7th, expect some brilliant insights that will definitely get noticed at your workplace. The full moon on the 10th brings recognition for all your hard work, so take pride in what you've accomplished.
