WEEKLY HOROSCOPES- JULY 13-19, 2026

The week ahead offers the chance of a new beginning, after we deal head-on with the past. Once we are able to find resolve in such matters, it'll be hard to look back. 

The major astrological transits for the week are:

July 13: Venus in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini, urging us to break free and be in the moment. 

July 14: The New Moon in Cancer intensifies our emotions, allowing us to mend our former feelings. 

July 15: Uranus in Gemini aspects Neptune retrograde in Aries, forging a new path for us to follow. 

July 18: Uranus in Gemini harmonizes with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, offering a unique perspective to situations that change our assessments.

July 19: Mars in Gemini connects to Saturn retrograde in Aries, setting a high standard and implementing rules.

Aries 

Watch how you assert yourself in the next serval days. It is a wonderful week to take some calculated risks in your work and other aspects of life. Trying some new things to push boundaries (in a good way) brings you the attention you’re seeking if you use them properly!

Taurus 

Quiet reflection will be your best bet for maintaining your calm under pressure. Focus on the most practical and intricate matters at work and you should be able to concentrate on them accordingly. The best word for this wonderful feeling of success as you accomplish all your goals is satisfaction.

Gemini 

Be strategic instead of going full steam ahead with your plans until you know for sure you can craft the best version of it. If you have faith in the process, you’ll be able to bring such visions to fruition. Focus on your plans and map them out for guidance. 

Cancer 

This energy can bring unexpected twists and circumstances; it may not be as much as you had hoped. It will bring many of your subconscious goals to the forefront of your mind that veer from the norm. Take a chance on yourself and the vision to make your dreams happen.

Leo

Trusting your instincts is the name of the game this week, and if there is any sign meant to divert from the beaten path, that is most definitely you! Now it's time to let these major decisions transpire and take you up a whole other level along your personal path. 

Virgo 

Try to release any pain that is still lingering from a former heart wound. The New Moon will usher in an abundance of merriment when you let go of the past and mend your emotions. Reach out to some of your close friends to seek advice and support when needed.

Libra 

Step into the limelight and don’t be shy in expressing your projects, goals, hopes, and aspirations through the upcoming days. Taking the lead will allow you to level up and be confident in all of the wonderful things that are coming your way during the New Moon on the 14th.

Scorpio 

Do your best to find healthy distractions right now, and should any hurts from the past bubble to the surface, try to accept and release them while calling in love. You'll feel much more like yourself from  the New Moon, which allows you to overcome any funk that manifested recently.

Sagittarius 

You'll want to strike a balance between being open and not feeling vulnerable. Your charm is hard to resist, so make sure you choose your targets wisely. Meanwhile, you should use the New Moon as an excuse to focus on yourself and perhaps any art projects you hope to initiate.

Capricorn 

Stop stressing about letting anyone in or keeping them out; instead, look for ways to relax solo with yourself this week. However, if you feel the need to reach out to friends, try to plan for the weekend, when the cosmos will be working harder to be on your side. 

Aquarius 

The evolution you've been undergoing this year in general is almost unworldly at times. There is a sense of déjà vu with career opportunities and intimate bonds around you. You might even feel more deeply connected to your dreams than ever, and have moments of precognition throughout your daily affairs. 

Pisces 

Serendipitous encounters will manifest throughout the week. Pay attention to who crosses your path; they will play an important role soon. With this energy present, your future can change within the blink of an eye, so be on the lookout for new routes to take to complete the journey ahead.

The Super New Moon in Cancer

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The Super New Moon in Cancer occurs on July 14 at 2:43 AM Pacific Time and 5:43 AM Eastern Time. The Moon is in close distance to the Earth, making its effects immense and intense. Being that the New Moon is in Cancer, we can expect the waterworks to flow and tears to fall.

Mercury retrograde in Cancer connects with the lunation, creating various emotions to emerge.

The Universe will ask us to focus on ourselves over the next few days. The New Moon shines a light on emotions, people, or situations we’ve been disregarding, but it's all in the name of personal evolution. Mercury’s moonwalk urges used to take a moment and reflect. Don't worry, though, if love truly is meant to land in our laps right now, it will find a way. It’ll be important to pair up with someone sensitive, insightful, and willing to give us the space we need to sort out our hearts.

If we run into insensitive behaviors from anyone during this time, take it as a sign to run (or crabwalk) for the hills. Take note of how much energy we are giving to them — if we are pouring more effort into the connection than we’re receiving, now is the opportunity to rethink the foundation of the relationship.

The other side to this energy is that we may take on a nurturing role within your friend circle. Tending to other people's problems might feel like an instinctual calling, but we’ll need to loosen the reins if people aren't willing to take our advice. If we’re not interested in catering to the needs of others, ww should use this time for ourselves.

The New Moon aligns with the fixed stars Castor and Pollux (yes, the duplicitous and dualistic twins). These aspects can also bring forth the temptation to gossip, which could ultimately send us in another direction. It won't serve us to participate in any mean-spirited rumors those around us might be engaging in, and getting involved could ultimately cause our egos to take a hit. Those who approach us better be in the mood to go deep, as the New Moon will leave us uninterested in games or folly. Mercury retrograde might tempt us to toy with someone, but it's best to stay in our lanes.

The Full Flower Moon in Scorpio 2026

The Full Flower Moon in Scorpio occurs on May 1 at 10:23 AM Pacific Time and 1:23 PM Eastern Time. The micromoon (which occurs when the Moon is far from Earth) marks a time of floral blooms perfuming the air and the Sun’s rays warming our desires. This year’s Flower Moon kicks off May Day, the seasonal holiday, and Beltane, the sabbat that marks the halfway point between spring and summer, which urges us to honor the fire above (the Sun) and within that wills our ambitions and motives.

A Full Moon in Scorpio represents a time to alchemize our emotions, intuition, and realities. Clearing and cleansing our energy is vital because it leaves room for the new to appear. Think of this Full Moon as a refresher to remind us that we are amazing beings worthy of love — not just from others, but more importantly from ourselves. Matters and feelings that have been suppressed are illuminated by the lunation, urging us to make changes that will encourage our evolution.

The fixed star Acrux connects with the Moon, adding a stubborn and inflexible edge. It might be difficult to move forward (this placement doesn’t mean we cannot make strives), but it’ll be worth the frustration. Once we implement minor improvements to our lives, new possibilities will emerge. Have faith in the process and listen to your instincts.

Tensions will be high due to the ongoing Aries stellium. Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune are galvanizing the fire sign, encouraging us to be bold and steadfast. The centaur Chiron and asteroid Eris are in Aries, as well, echoing the passion from the New Moon in Aries on April 17. The caveat is that this energy encourages us to speak impulsively and make hasty decisions, leaving us unable to finish what we start and to create conflict without knowing all the facts. Try to take a step back before asserting opinions and thoughts to ensure we’re providing accurate information.

The good news is that Venus in Gemini and Saturn in Aries link up moments after the Full Moon, offering us an opportunity to reflect and slow down. We may be overthinking the future of friendships, money, and relationships, but we’ll propose refined and demure solutions to lingering concerns and issues. Practicality and stability are more important than grand declarations, because we know the proof lies in actions, not promises.

Mercury forms a conjunction with the centaur Chiron in the last degrees of Aries (Mercury switches signs and moves into Taurus on May 2). As a result of this cosmic alliance, we will speak up and discuss situations that have caused us pain in an effort to remedy them. Since Mercury and Chiron are in the last degrees of Aries, it’s important to express our sentiments with sensitivity; doing the opposite could cause arguments. We don’t have to bite our tongues or suffer in silence; act maturely—that shows progress.

We can bloom like the beautiful flowers surrounding us if we try a little tenderness.
