Your Weekly Horoscopes: July 14 to 20, 2024

No way to put this lightly: we’re in for an intense week. An aspect I’ve been telling you about for weeks now finally goes exact on the 15th when Mars conjoins changemaker Uranus. This is an explosive energy that brings an urge to break out of our comfort zone and push past limits. The sun then connects with Uranus on the 16th helping us to integrate these sudden shifts into the larger goals.

On the 20th , Mars connects with dreamy Neptune putting our focus on sensuality and romance. Then later on the 20th , Mars leaves steady Taurus for flexible Gemini which brings a flirty tension and gossipy chaos that will build through mid-August.

This all goes down as the moon is waxing to peak fullness. I’ll get into the full moon in Capricorn (exact on the 21st ) in next week’s horoscopes. But know that everything that happens this week is building to that culmination.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)
