Capricorn Capricorn

July 16 ~ July 30

“You are personally responsible for the energy you bring into every room you enter.” — The Source. The Universe may present you with a door, but it will never force you to walk through it. The choice is yours. The step is yours. The timing—also yours to discern. Your ruler Saturn has just stationed retrograde in Aries, which can feel like getting a green light, only to hit a sudden pause. Did fear surface? Does the timing feel off? Saturn will remain retrograde in Aries until September 1, when it backs into Pisces for one final review. It won’t return to Aries—the sign of fresh starts—until February 14, 2026. It’s okay to pause. But don’t stop moving. Use this time to take a more expansive view. Adjust where needed. Strategize your re-entry. You want to be aligned, centered, and fully ready—so that when you do walk into the room or step onto the stage, your energy is grounded in purpose and primed for success. Mercury also turns retrograde in Leo on Thursday, July 17 through August 11, in your house of the Soul. This period invites you to reassess whether the path you’re energizing is truly leading you forward—or looping you back into something old. Mercury stays in Leo throughout August and will enter fellow earth sign Virgo on September 2, marking a natural moment to implement the insights and edits you’ve gathered—whether from your vision board, your heart, or your dreams. Mercury in Leo aligns with Venus in Gemini as we head into the weekend, creating harmony between you and a creative partner or kindred spirit. The connection may spark joy and inspiration, giving you the momentum to joyfully double down on something you both care about. Meanwhile, Venus is squaring Mars in Virgo for nearly two weeks—a signature of focused friction, like a writer painstakingly crafting a manuscript. It may not be easy, but if it means that much to you, the work will be worth it. Precision matters. So does devotion. A New Moon in Leo on Thursday, July 24, lands in your house of the empowerment and forms supportive trines to Saturn and Neptune in Aries—both nestled in your house of home. This offers grounding for your inner work, emotional growth, and spiritual ambitions. You are doing deep, meaningful work—and this New Moon supports you in anchoring it in a way that feels both brave and nourishing. Pay attention to your dreams that week. They hold messages and markers—like well-lit signposts guiding you forward.

“The world does not change. Your capacity to see it does.” — The Source
