You’re extremely detail-oriented, so you probably want to know exactly how this month’s eclipses are going to impact you. Sorry, but eclipses don’t work like that. These potent lunations shake shit up in a major way. So, when the Sun and Moon meet in Cancer on July 2 and form a powerful solar eclipse, get ready to expect the unexpected. This eclipse will activate the area of your chart connected to the extended community, encouraging you to expand your reach. You’re amazing at building systems, so under this sky, consider ways you apply your skills on a large scale. Remember, Virgo babe, each person has the power to change the world. This month, reflect on what this concept means to you.

You’re governed by Mercury, the swift-moving planet associated with communication and expression. This means you feel the brunt of Mercury Retrograde. On July 7, Mercury begins its cosmic Moonwalk in the area of your chart connected to the psyche, subconscious, and all things kept hidden. Don’t let this cramp your style, Virgo love. Mercury Retrograde doesn’t mean disaster; it simply emphasizes reflection. Word of advice, though: Make sure any major secrets are securely tucked away. Through July 31, the tea will definitely spill. Just make sure it isn’t your own brew.

On July 16, the second eclipse of the month will rattle your creativity zone, bringing radical changes to your artistic output. Since eclipses often have unforeseen results, your sources of inspiration may transform right before your eyes. If you’ve been trying to finish a major writing project, don’t be surprised if suddenly swap your prose for paint as you begin an entirely new creative endeavor. Be open-minded, Virgo love, and remember that eclipses only speed up the inevitable. These shifts were always going to occur-the lunar eclipse is simply expediting the process.

Leo season officially begins on July 22 when the Sun glides into this fiery, theatrical sign. When the Sun moves into the sign directly before your own (for you, this is Leo), it activates the area of your chart associated with psychological and emotional release. As you begin to prepare for your birthday season and the beginning of a whole new astrological cycle, it’s important to purge whatever is no longer serving your soul. On July 31, a New Moon in Leo will help you identify exactly what needs to go. Release isn’t always easy, Virgo babe, but trust that you’ll feel a whole lot better when you lighten your load! After all, you don’t want to bring old, antiquated habits and relationships into your new orbit. By the time you celebrate your birthday, you’ll feel rejuvenated, revitalized, and fully renewed.
