Your July 2026 Horoscope for Virgo
by Susan MillerDon’t be sad to read this. Once Mars leaves your career sector (tenth house), starting on August 11, he’ll enter your eleventh house of joy, social events, and friendship, where he will remain until September 27. At that time you will get a second chance to become fully enveloped in social activity. That period will bring balance and a spirit of rejuvenation to all the hard work you’ve been doing.
Now let’s turn to the middle of the month and the new moon in Cancer on July 14. We usually look to a new moon to open a new portal—a fresh trend—that can add excitement and change the pace of life. This new moon is to light your eleventh house of friendship (the same place Mars will enter next month, as discussed above).
However, there are problems with this new moon. It will be weak. If you feel you are not ready to experience the full effect of this social new moon in the weeks to come, it may be because Saturn in Aries (15º), based in your financial sector, will be pressuring both the Sun and new moon in Cancer (22º). This suggests you may be budget conscious and may need to trim your plans to be able to afford what you’d like to do. These are expensive times, and everyone everywhere is feeling the pinch.
There is another, more concerning reason this new moon will not be as helpful as you might assume. This moon will be what’s known as void-of-course when it appears, and that means the moon will not be in conversation with any planets. Things will continue as they were, but new initiatives will fall flat. There will be no progress with a new moon that is void. Even if the moon comes out of her void state right away, the die is cast at the moment the new moon appears, so for forecasting purposes, I have to go with a weak moon. As I said earlier, Mars’s impending tour of Cancer should offset any roadblocks you face in July and bring in a festive period from August 11 to September 27, so you won’t miss out on having love and romance in your life.
