Your Weekly Horoscope: July 10 to July 16, 2023
Your horoscope for the week of July 10 to July 16 is here, and the stars are aligning to help you uncover the possibilities that lie ahead. Cancer season is in full swing, and the next few weeks will be filled with transformative potential. Emotions are guaranteed to run high during this time, and the cosmos want you to use those feelings to your advantage. Last week, the Full Moon in Capricorn brought some heavy but enlightening information to light. Now it’s time to embrace new demanding situations with confidence.
The week starts off with both Mars and Mercury making big moves into new territory, where they will stay for the next few weeks. Mars enters Virgo on July 10–which will bring a sense of practicality and seriousness to the work you do for the next few weeks. You’ll feel motivated to get a lot of work done in this short amount of time; just be careful not to sacrifice your physical and mental health for quick results. Take care of your emotional and spiritual well-being. Mars in Virgo can also result in frustrating or even nit-picky communication. Avoid getting into petty arguments and let your work do the talking.
You can expect some extra inspiration this week when Mercury moves into Leo on July 10. Mercury is the planet of communication and new ideas: and when Mercury spends time in a bold and passionate sign like Leo, you might find yourself stumbling into exciting new experiences. Your thirst for knowledge will be at an all-time high during this transit, making it an ideal time to get your hands dirty with a new project or passion. Stay observant and keep an open mind to new perspectives. All of this comes ahead of the New Moon in Cancer on July 17–which is sure to be a weird one.
