Happy July, everyone! This month we’re going to be taking a look at the month ahead using the Modern Witch Tarot. This was a deck that I finally picked up a few months ago after having a hard time getting my hands on it and, wow! I love it! It’s become a standard go-to deck for me almost since the first time I used it. I’m excited to share this month’s insights using this deck.
Here is a little rundown of what July is going to bring:
- July 4 – Full Moon in Capricorn
- July 4 – Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
- July 12 – Mercury Stations Direct, Retrograde Ends
- July 20 – New Moon in Cancer
- July 22 – Leo Season Begins, Sun Enters Leo
The overall theme for July is Home and Relationships. This is a time for looking at how your home and your environment nurtures you and your loved ones.
Now is a time for looking at ways that you can show more gratitude to those you love. With many of us are still spending more time at home than usual, chances are your home course use a good spiritual cleansing and that your relationships need a little TLC. This month is a great time to do it.
Don’t be afraid to make one or two little changes to your home that require a bit of time and money. With the right intentions and careful planning, it could be money very well spent for your well-being!
Bonus Witchy Fun Tip…read your sun sign tarotscope as well as the tarotscope for your rising sign and your moon sign. See your sun sign guidance as what you need to act on while the moon sign guidance is what you need to reflect on and work with on a spiritual level Your rising sign’s message can help you find a connection between the two with what is “rising” within you this month.

These last few months have taken their toll on you, Aries, but don’t worry! Everything is about to pay off if you’re willing to just hang in there a little longer. This is not a time to give up but a time to take a short pause, gather your strength, refocus yourself, and then dive back into the fray. You’re stronger than you realize, even if you don’t feel it right now, the Universe does and knows you’ve got this!

The world around you has changed a lot, and you’ve got some thoughts on how you and others can change for the better. As excited as you may be about these new ideas, you could find that your insistence on sharing them with others just tires them out. Not everyone is as ready for a revolution as you might be. Sharing your thoughts with others is always a good idea, but don’t be upset if they aren’t as excited as you or ready to join you on your quest for change. Know that sometimes all you need to do is plant a seed of thought in a fertile mind and let nature handle the rest.

Typically you’re pretty good at taking on a handful of things at once, but maybe not always so great at talking about how all that work is making you feel. This month, you might find that the burden you’ve been carrying over the past few months has finally come to a point where it’s almost too much to handle. It’s time to let yourself seek out some help, even if it’s just emotional support, by having a friend you can talk to. Take a little time for some creative expression this month too. Don’t let all that inner pressure turn into an internal scream with no way to release.
The Empress
One thing Cancers love is security and comfort at home. This month is really an excellent time for you to embrace these July concepts of home and family and allow yourself to indulge your inner Empress. Create a sacred space in your home full of things that you love that exude the energy of luxury, sensuality, and beauty. What makes you feel powerful and sexy? What makes you feel safe and loved? This is where your energy needs to go this month, treating yourself like the queen you are and not letting anything stand in the way of you expressing your power!

Happy Birthday, Leos! This month it’s time to embrace the give and take of love and evaluate how you allow love to flow in your life. Are you feeling blocks around how you either give love to others or how you are willing to receive it when given to you? This month a lot of good stuff is likely to begin falling into place for you. Still, with all that love flowing toward you, you might start to wonder why you deserve this and if this is even real! Simply be receptive and allow love and blessings to overflow in your life, just be sure to share some of those extra blessings with others when you can.

Your natural tendency to focus on details is going to be ramped up a bit this month. You begin looking at how the events of the last few months and the possible months ahead may affect the well-being and long-term security of yourself and your family. It may be time to look at how you’re preparing for the future. A lot of people are only now starting to get serious about thinking more than just a few months ahead with the changes in the world and the economy. This month it’s time to assess your finances. Look at where you can cut back, where you can save, and even think about how this will affect younger generations in your family. Just be careful not to get pulled into worry! Stay positive and look for how you can keep everything on a bright path forward.

This month look for some unexpected emotional surprises to pop up. These aren’t necessarily bad things! But something or someone unexpected is going to get your heart off on a rollercoaster of emotions. Don’t let yourself get TOO swept away. Take a moment to step back and look at the situation and your feelings from a place of curiosity. You might meet someone new, make a new friend, or even have someone from your past…be it a friend or romantic interest…come back into the picture. Look at how you’re feeling and be open to what this relationship could bring you in the future without getting washed out to the emotional seas.
The Magician
One thing you know all about is transformation! That powerful Scorpio energy that desires change and manifestation will be running through you big time this month. Your confidence will be through the roof with the Leo season’s energy, so this is going to be the perfect time for looking at what you truly desire to see a change in your life and taking some big steps toward making it happen. This will definitely be a time where you’ll have to let go of some stuff to make room for the new, but if anyone knows how to use the past to create a better future, it’s you! Get to witching it up this month and work your magick!
The Emperor
This month you might find that your idealistic ways are pushed by the world around you. The beliefs you have long held around the world itself, and the fundamentals about success, security, philosophy, and spirituality may be tested. It’s OK to change and grow, but you need to ensure that you are keeping yourself on stable ground. The Emperor can often be too rigid and unwilling to change, but this month you have to take that as a warning, not as a cue. Stand up for yourself, be strong, stand by what you believe, but if it’s time to change those beliefs allow logic, reason, and facts to be the things that guide you through the process of evolution.

It’s probably been hard for you to sit still these last few months as the world grinds to a halt. Now you’re feeling the itch to get moving again, to let your naturally ambitious and adventurous self out a bit, but remember to be careful. Lots of things are still changing, and you need to be willing to change and adapt while also following those dreams and goals you have in mind. Now is definitely a time for you to get back into the full swing action of chasing your dreams, but be sure to look around and adapt to your changing surrounding.

Choices, choices, choices…and the fear of missing something along the way and the possibility of regret later on. That’s what you’ve got facing you this month, Aquarius. While you might have a lot of options to choose from in a situation this month, don’t let yourself fall into a pattern of doing nothing because you feel overwhelmed by the possibilities. There is always a chance that the decision you make today, the one that feels completely right at the moment, ends up being something you regret far down the road. At the same time, doing nothing is also a choice. Weigh your options but allow your heart to guide you.
Ace of Pentacles
The Universe wants to hand you some big opportunities this month, but you have to be willing to set aside your often questioning and introspective nature if you’re going to grab these opportunities. It can be effortless to find yourself blessed with an unexpected gift but then find yourself so lost in the wondering “why me, why now” of it that you miss your chance. This month, be open to gifts and opportunities from any and all sources and be willing to YES and embrace all the possibilities of living a life filled with health and abundance.
