Your horoscope for the week of July 21 to 27 begins with a bang, but the energy will only get more and more intense from there. Strap yourselves in, because it’s about to be a wild one.
The week kicks off with a highly anticipated full “Buck” moon in Capricorn on July 21 at 6:17 a.m. ET, which is sure to rock your world. This full moon is special, as it’s the second full moon in Capricorn that you’ll experience during 2024. The first one took place exactly one month ago on June 21, making this a glitch in our typical lunar calendar. However, there’s a reason we have two full moons in Capricorn this year, as there is a lot of pressure building up in the house ruled by Capricorn in your birth chart. This is all thanks to the fact that Pluto—planet of creation and destruction—is still wrapping up its 20-year-long tour through Capricorn, and with this full moon arriving at exactly 29 degrees of this cardinal earth sign, it’s bound to feel like one big and dramatic release. Stay tuned, because major catharsis is on the way.
While you may be dealing with heavy themes during the week’s onset, you have plenty of positive alignments on your side. July 21 is also when Venus in Leo will form a fun sextile with Jupiter in Gemini, encouraging love, friendship, and indulgence. The Cancer sun will also form a healing trine with Neptune retrograde while powerhouse Mars forms a motivating trine with transformative Pluto. Even during your worst struggles, you’ll be able to have the highest hopes. However, that doesn’t mean unexpected errors could throw you off track, as Mercury in Leo will also square off with unpredictable Uranus. Conversations could suddenly go in the opposite direction during this time.
Major drama could unfold by July 23, when the Leo sun opposes Pluto in Aquarius for the first time in modern history. This could cause conflicts of the ego, the heart, and the mind, revealing the deep dark truth that’s currently simmering underneath your reality. Be careful who—and what—you trust.
