July 6 brings the First Quarter Moon in Libra, which brings important changes to our lives. Mercury in Cancer squares off with Jupiter in Aries on July 9, bringing important news our way. The Cancer Sun harmonizes with Uranus in Taurus on July 10 and then the Nodes of Destiny on July 12. Pay attention to who you meet or engage with on July 10 and 12 — they’ll play an important role in your future. 

Witch Tip:

Since the First Quarter Moon occurs in Libra, we should focus on justice, peace, and harmony on July 6. Within our personal lives, this may mean finding a better balance in our worlds. In order to do this, take note of the areas in your life that are off-kilter. Place it under a bowl filled with water, then place a blue candle with your name and zodiac sign on it within the bowl. Meditate on finding serenity and stability. Once your intention is set, light the candle and let it burn to help induce calmness and an equilibrium between the fevered energies in your life. After all, we can all use a moment of chill right now. 

Aries 

If you’re feeling sensitive or jealous of others, then you should reflect on the amazing things that you have going on in your life. Don’t project onto people. Remember that you have awesome stuff happening, too. Everyone deserves to have their own successful piece of the pie — not just you.

Taurus 

Being one of the most creative signs means that you are always conjuring up artistry. The end of the week motivates you to bring your passions to life. The caveat is that you must be easy and gentle on yourself during the first few days of the week. Inspiration is coming! 

Gemini 

Your mind is bursting with novel ideas — so much so that you are having a hard time keeping up and writing all of your thoughts down. Make sure that you keep note of everything that pops up. You never know what will inspire you towards attaining momentary greatness this week.

Cancer 

For the first time in a long time, you are putting your needs first. This may come as a surprise to those around you, as you are constantly giving. You deserve to be the main character, which is why it’s important to avoid manipulation that aims to place you second.

Leo 

Don’t be shy in asking others for help. The truth is that you can use the assistance and guidance at the moment, but your pride is holding you back. The more you know, the easier it’ll be to grow. Fortunately, there are many people who want to offer you insights.

Virgo 

Life is a myriad of colors between two concrete absolutes. This means that you should start seeing situations in shades of grey. Being more subjective will allow you to compromise on necessary matters and help you mend fences with others by understanding their side or perspective for the first time. 

Libra 

With the first quarter moon linking up with your sun, you may feel as though it is the right time to refresh and restore your vibe. Take a step back to find your inner peace of mind. It would help if you had a minute to chill and calm your energy before moving forward. 

Scorpio

Try keeping your heart and mind open. Then, you can accept all of the ups, downs, and sideway turns in life. The more balanced you are, the easier it’ll be to inspire yourself to have a higher-minded perspective. All of this can lead to immense personal growth and change.

Sagittarius 

Although you’re not one to regularly set boundaries, you are finding that they are necessary at this time. Don’t hesitate in saying “no” more than “yes” and adhering to the limits that you’re OK with. If others push back out of disrespect, you can walk away from the drama. 

Capricorn 

Being a good friend or partner means that you care unconditionally for those who’ve proven to be worth your energy and love. Before you act out, take note of how your peers and partners have treated you. Give to those who’ve shown kindness and compassion to maintain the growing relationship. 

Aquarius 

It’s hard for you to speak your truth this week. Instead of holding your emotions in, try journaling your sentiments in order to release them. By doing so, you will also gain perspective and clarity. Don’t hold back — especially since you’re the only one reading, writing, and feeling them.

Pisces 

It’s ok to live this week with your head in the clouds. As long as you’re tending to your obligations, then you should embrace your dreariness. Along the way, you’ll find an inspiring vision that will lead you down a new creative path or professional aspiration that speaks to you.
