Weekly Horoscope July 14-20: Intense Emotional Challenges
Your horoscope for the week of July 14 to 20 kicks off with a dark swirl of emotions, but it will ultimately inspire you to fight for what matters to you and heal what needs healing. Your sensitivities are bound to be triggered, and while you can’t control how you feel, you can control how you react.
The week kicks off with the moon in Scorpio, which can cause the energy to become passionate, intense, and even anxiety-inducing. After all, the moon is technically in its “fall” when in Scorpio. And on July 14, the Scorpio moon will square off with Pluto retrograde and Venus in Leo, which could cause desires to feel unmet and concerns to feel unheard. There may be a disconnect between everyone’s wants, needs, and hidden motivations.
With powerhouse Mars immediately joining forces with unpredictable Uranus in Taurus on July 15, unexpected breakthroughs could catapult you forward or force you to start from scratch. These initial changes could be difficult to process at first, what with the Scorpio moon opposing this Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 16. Feelings could get hurt—especially if you’re a Taurus, Leo Scorpio, or Aquarius—so let’s all be extra considerate of how our actions affect others.
A moment of peace and pleasure arrives by July 17, when the adventurous Sagittarius moon forms a harmonious trine with Venus and Mercury in Leo. And as the Cancer sun forms a sextile to Uranus in Taurus on July 18, you may finally begin to make sense of what has come and gone, inspiring you to move forward. However, you may feel like your vulnerabilities are being irritated later on that day, as the Sag moon will have an uncomfortable brush with disorienting Neptune, making hard not to take things personally.
How the planets will affect your zodiac sign this week
Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming week, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):
Aries
This week, your confidence is on display.
The week begins on Sunday, July 14, with the moon in Scorpio squaring Pluto in Aquarius and your house of friendships and acquaintances. Aries, you could feel a sudden—albeit temporary—stab of envy when dealing with a friend. You might think they’re paying too much attention to your partner, or perhaps they just scored a big win at their job. Consider doing a bit of self-reflection to see if there are some changes that you should make to get what you want.
On Monday, July 15, Mars conjoins Uranus in Taurus and your house of personal finance. You might seize the moment and win a sale, new job, or new source of income. But this is tricky energy. Rash behavior could lead to careless behavior, which can cause a loss of money, such as leaving your wallet at the restaurant or not noticing that money is falling out of your pocket.
