Your July 2026 Horoscope for Cancer

As mentioned, Mercury comes out of retrograde on July 23, so leave a space of days after this date to begin acting on plans. The “bookend” dates (the start and finish dates of the Mercury retrograde) are always unstable and wobbly—so don’t jump into any big decisions on July 23 or 24. Give a space of as many days as you can muster. In many ways, the start and end dates of a retrograde are when it’s at its worst—worse than in the middle of the retrograde—and that is good to know.

Now, let’s talk about the exciting news to come. Your chart is starting to heat up favorably for a substantial influx of money. You will get a clue of this at the full moon in Aquarius (7°) on July 29. This full moon will light your eighth house of other people’s money, so you may hear of a sum of money heading your way. You may receive a tax refund, an insurance payout, or a notice from your bank that a generous line of business credit has been approved. These are simply a few examples. You may also receive news of an inheritance or bonus at work, or you might learn that you’re being given a raise. You might want to buy a charity raffle ticket. (Skip the lotto—those are nearly impossible to win!)

Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, moved into Leo last month on June 30, and your outlook for a large uptick in your finances has never been better.

Lo and behold, on the same day as the full moon, July 29, you will come to what I call the Luckiest Day of the Year, when Jupiter and the Sun align perfectly. This is an annual event that often brings joyous news, and it always happens in a different sign and place in your chart. For you, dear Cancer, the alignment of Jupiter and the Sun will happen in your financial second house of income and possessions.
