Welcome, beautiful souls! Here is your astrology forecast for the week of July 13–19.
This week feels relatively calm, though we’re still working through strong retrograde energy that invites us to clear out the subconscious closet. The Sun in Cancer brings gentle, healing light to that process, helping us tend to emotional needs and inner housekeeping.
This period can be productive: the intentions that emerged during eclipse season are now moving toward manifestation. That means old thought patterns and habits that no longer serve you need to be released to make room for the next chapter of your life.
The Moon Is Waning — Reflect on Your Goals
The Moon is waning, a phase that favors review, decluttering, and shedding what’s unnecessary. This isn’t a peak time for creative launches; instead, it’s ideal for assessing routines and habits and removing what blocks your progress.
Make a list of daily behaviors or thought patterns that don’t support your goals. Design simple reminders to keep your objectives visible so you can make steady progress. With retrograde energy supporting inner revision, this is a powerful time to rework the foundation of your thinking.
A New Moon in Cancer Is Approaching
A New Moon in Cancer arrives next week, offering clearer guidance about what to begin next. For now, practice patience and examine your daily routines so you can create space for something new to enter your life.
You might still be integrating shifts that began with the July 4th Full Moon lunar eclipse. Take a moment to celebrate progress—you’re crafting a life that aligns with your desires, not someone else’s expectations.
This year you have the opportunity to manifest your most exciting life.
Keep your goals in view. For inspiration, use monthly astrology calendar downloads as phone or desktop backgrounds to stay aligned with your intentions.
What to Expect from the Stars This Week
This week invites you to consider how to show up as your truest, most unapologetic self—committed, positive, and clear about the path you want to follow. That might mean revising your diet, limiting media or negative conversations, changing your exercise routine, or reassessing how your close relationships support your goals.
Look at the habits and influences that take time without contributing to your growth, and gently begin to shift them. Small, steady changes now will support the larger shifts coming with the New Moon.
