Weekly Horoscopes: July 6–12, 2026 | Neptune Retrograde, Venus in Virgo & Mercury Retrograde Predictions



Astrology by Lisa Stardust for TheHoodwitch



Although we may have good intentions, we shouldn't push others to agree with our views while they're making their decisions. This week's horoscope wants us to give people the power to choose their own path and learn from their mistakes.



These are the major astrological aspects of the week: 



July 6: The Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries, hindering us from making moves and feeling autonomous.



July 7: Neptune retrograde in Aries begins its five-month moonwalk, heightening our intuition and desires. 



July 9: Venus enters Virgo, making our emotions practical and methodical, as well as our approach to love and money.



July 10: Venus forms an opposition to the True Node in Pisces, allowing us to receive messages from the universe that require us to release the past.



July 12: The Sun forms a conjunction to Mercury retrograde in Cancer, enlightening our minds with wisdom through this “cazimi” alliance. 



Aries

Pay attention to stories that you hear at work regarding your boss or in the news about people in authoritative roles. The information we hear will be shocking and change our perspectives about the situation for a very long time until you find out it’s not true and spread the tea.



Taurus

Feel free to dream big, but keep in mind that things will move more slowly right now than they have over the last few weeks due to Mercury’s backspin. Rather than feeling impatient, try to see this as a reprieve and enjoy a more relaxed approach to your life at this moment. 



Gemini 

You'll find yourself in a better financial situation soon. You will make a lucrative return on an endeavor that will boost your bank account. Your desire to create is strong, but you must be careful in aligning with a project that speaks to you on a spiritual and soulful level. 



Cancer

On an emotional level, you're ditching the tender reactions you usually show others and being credulous in how you extend energy. You may even decide to consider engraving the changes coming your way. It’s an exciting time that will open you to new ventures and opportunities — even unexpected alliances. 



Leo

Your psychic abilities will be on fire throughout the week, making it the ideal time to bust out your pendulum or tarot cards to give readings to yourself about the current events in your orb. Just remember to take cleansing breaths if you happen to encounter anyone with less-than-ideal energy. 



Virgo 

Challenges are immense from time to time, but as long as you can release the things that are holding you back, you'll come out on top. Just remember not to hide away all week. Too much time alone can be emotionally intense and lonely, even for the most solitary person. 



Libra 

You can charm your way out of several ongoing arguments and create diplomacy amongst your peers. Rather than roaring back with passion to those who openly disagree with your views, you are softly whispering your feelings to them in an effort to keep the peace and to avoid more conflicts. 



Scorpio 

You will start connecting with others on a deep level, which will mark a time of outstanding interpersonal relationships. The caveat is that you may rush relationships and sentiments. Keep in mind that it’s important to get to know people before diving into a committed partnership or becoming best friends.



Sagittarius 

Prepare to have clashes over how you spend your days with others and who you give energy to. This love triangles doesn't  necessarily mean a third party is involved in your personal relationships. It can mean that your desire for professional acclaim and fame stands between you and your partner. 



Capricorn 

Be open to having a friend or trusted confidant help you gain clarity on the best ways to spend and save your money now. The caveat is that you might initially disagree with their insights, causing drama to persist, but then come around when you see that they are right.



Aquarius

If you’ve been feeling like you've been a bit messy with your goals and responsibilities recently, it's a good time to sit down and map out a to-do list. You'll find that you're more focused on organization and steadfast in the coming weeks, looking for ways to improve your endurance.



Pisces 

You'll be in the mood to put your art out there for public display and criticism, but might not receive the validation you were seeking. After a series of hits and misses, you'll likely decide to take a little time out to recharge and rethink your strategies. Don't give up!
