Research says you shouldn't (quite literally) bite more than you can chew.

It’s the busiest astrological week of the month, and your weekly horoscope for July 21 to 27, 2024 is jam-packed with planetary action! The week begins with the second full moon in Capricorn of the year on July 21. Full moons in Capricorn bring a sense of accomplishment and responsibility. Some goals you set might reach an exciting turning point. Think about what was unfolding near the previous June 21 full moon for more clues.

Also on July 21, Venus in Leo connects with Jupiter in Gemini, bringing optimism, celebration, and generosity. This is a wonderful day to go after who and what you desire, because luck is on your side. Later in the day, the Sun in Cancer links up with Neptune in Pisces, inspiring a sense of emotional fulfillment. Your intuition could also gain you some recognition, so listen to those gut impulses!

The Sun enters Leo on July 22, shifting the cosmic scenery and reminding you that you’re the center of your own universe. The next few weeks encourage you to prioritize your needs and desires, and to have fun while doing so. Later in the day, the Sun in Leo faces off with Pluto in Aquarius, which can activate some deep triggers, wounds, and insecurities. Themes regarding power surface—are you giving your power away or using it wisely? This can also bring an a-ha moment regarding your own self-awareness, or strong feelings of empowerment when you choose to face some of your fears.

We’re in the shadow period before Mercury goes retrograde on August 4, so pay attention to people and topics that pop up now—because you’ll hear from them again during the retrograde period.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Virgo on July 25, which can help you communicate with tact and refinement. However, Mercury will go retrograde on August 4, and we’re already in the midst of the pre-retrograde shadow period (also known as “retroshade“). Pay attention to people and topics that pop up now because there is a strong chance they’ll be revisited once the retrograde kicks off.

The Sun in Leo also syncs up with Mars in Gemini on July 25, giving you confidence and courage to make progress and take risks. The energy is also pretty steamy in the sky—great for some hot sex or pursuing a creative project.

On July 26, Chiron (a comet known as the “wounded healer”) goes retrograde in Aries, bringing a turning point in your healing journey. You might feel a wave of sadness, insecurity, or disappointment. Something you thought you’d worked through might re-emerge. Be curious about your feelings, and gentle with yourself.

The week ends with the last quarter moon in Taurus on July 27. This brings you back to the full moon in Capricorn at the start of the week. This part of the moon’s cycle asks you to let go, surrender, shed, and release. Think about what played out under the full moon: What can you refine or release? It’s time to clear out the emotional and physical clutter to make room for new and aligned opportunities and people to find you.

To get a closer look at what these cosmic shifts have in store for you, read on to find your zodiac sign’s weekly horoscope for July 21 to 27, 2024 (and be sure to read for your sun sign and your rising sign for the most accurate forecast).
