Today's Horoscope This week This month
Aries horoscope for July 2024
As you move into the new month it has been 10 days since the Sun not only left your communication sector but left Jupiter on his own for the first time since beginning his 13 month visit in May. The Moon's return from 3rd July to 5th July is always an important point in any month for getting the communication lines open, but it comes just as a big year for all aspects of communication is getting underway. However, Jupiter won't be on his own for long, with Mars returning on 21st July to begin his first war on communication barriers in two years. Until then, Mars will be fighting to make the most of his final weeks in your income sector.
Before joining Jupiter in your communication sector Mars, who returned to your income sector two weeks after he left, is fighting to exploit the potential from the planet of luck and expansion's 12 month quest for income growth and expansion. Starting the month with the Moon in your income sector will help with that. Both because this will ensure your nose for money is sharp from the start, and because this will give you a better read on the planets that are already coming together across the income, work and career fronts in the first week of the month.
Meanwhile, as is always the case, the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of July in your home and family sector, putting the spotlight on home and family matters, on things close to home and all those rituals and routines that help you feel grounded or bring a sense of belonging. While it is not until 21st July that the Sun will return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, Mercury's return on 3rd July and Venus, planet of love's return on 12th July will get the ball rolling. As they do, the Sun will continue to make your work/life balance a priority.
Love & Romance
After months where the focus has been on your relationships and while that will continue and especially with support from Jupiter in your communication sector, it is matters of the heart that finally get their turn this month. The Sun's return to your romantic sector on 22nd July is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto matters of the heart and all things romantic, meaning that at the most you would have to wait three weeks for the romantic drought to end. Fortunately, you won't have to wait that long, with Mercury returning on 3rd July to begin the first planetary activity on the romantic front this year.Normally Mercury will race through in 14 to 15 days, giving you just long enough to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page. However, while over three weeks later Mercury will leave on 26th July, a retrograde turn early next month will bring him back for a double dip visit. It is while Mercury is here but before the Sun returns that Venus, planet of love will return on 12th July to begin the most romantically charged weeks of 2024. While Venus will leave early next month, with the Sun here by then and then Mercury retrograding back out before he leaves and then not leaving until early September, what begins in the early days of July will continue to evolve.
The Moon's return to your romantic sector from 7th July to 10th July will help to get the ball rolling. Meanwhile, while the partnership between Jupiter on the communication and the South Node on the relationship front is locked in, this will be further energised when Mars returns to your communication sector on 21st July. This will be Mars' first visit in two years and by the time he returns to declare war on communication barriers, the engine driving the communication lines on the relationship front should be running well. You will have a chance to take advantage of this when the Moon moves through your relationship sector from 12th July to 14th July.
Business & Career
While for the most part, it is business as usual on the job and career fronts, it is towards the end of the month that things will come alive. In saying that, during just the first week of July Mars, in his final three weeks in your income sector will start the month at a friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Ceres in your career sector before going on to form the same aspect to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your work sector. It was late last month that Juno and Ceres had come together and are just separating as Mars brings them back together again. This is going to get the month off to a good start across the income, work and career fronts.However, it is later in the month that first the Moon's return to your career sector and then Mercury's return to your work sector will take things to the next level. Before then, the Moon's monthly visit to your work sector from 10th July to 12th July will be another chance to bring things together across the income, work and career fronts before Mars leaves your income sector on 21st July. This is the same day that in the final days of the Moon's monthly visit to your career sector, from 19th July to 21st July, this will create the second Full Moon here in just four weeks.
The last time you had two back to back Full Moons in your career sector was 18 years ago, with what was set in motion by last month's Full Moon getting re energised again. This time, just five days before Mercury joins the asteroid Juno, who has been soldiering away on her own since last October. With the Sun and Venus returning next month and Mercury not eventually leaving until September, this will kick off the most active months of the year on the job front. However, with so much water having passed under the bridge and with continuous planetary activity on the income and career fronts for the rest of the year, this is also a continuation of the journey so far.
Money
While the Sun, Venus and Mercury all left your income sector in May and a few days later Jupiter left, bringing a 12 month quest for income growth and expansion to a close, the push to exploit this has yet to run its course. This should and for two weeks did leave Uranus on his own and here until 2026, this was a chance to pull back and focus more on the long game. In reality, this was a chance to pause, catch your breath, let things settle and play out before putting your foot on the gas again. It was 14 days after Jupiter left that Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returned for his first visit in two years and in time to exploit the potential from Jupiter's 12 month visit.When Mars returns to your income sector, he fires up your warrior and competitive spirit and especially the drive to fight for what you deserve. What Jupiter and the other planets were happy to quietly work towards, Mars will barge in and take. Like the planets that have moved through before him, Mars will have the support of planets on the income, work and career fronts, with a Full Moon in your work sector on 21st July, the same day that he leaves, capping up what is likely to have been an eventful visit. However, by the time you move into the new month you still have another three weeks to work with Mars and the Moon has just returned for its only visit while he is here.
As well as spending the first two days of the month sharpening your nose for money and acting as a trigger, something that will give you a better sense of where to channel Mars' drive to fight for what you deserve, the Moon will connect with the planets on the job and career fronts as it moves through. This will get the new month and Mars' final three weeks off to a good start on the income, work and career fronts. It is after Mars leaves that Uranus will be back on his own and it will stay that way for the rest of the year. This will make the Moon's return from 28th July to 30th July a valuable chance to check in. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity on the other side of the financial fence, the Moon's return to your financial sector from 15th July to 17th July will be a chance to check in on money matters.
