July brings a focus on home and family. Your Aries child may be more content to hang around at home, rather than wanting to get out this month. They may also be extra close to parents this month. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights a parent. The New Moon on July 18th brings new opportunities on the home front. If your Aries child is old enough, they may enjoy helping to redecorate their room. Mars, the ruler of your Aries child, moves into Virgo in the second week of the month, highlighting a more detail oriented focus and a period of potential perfectionism.

July brings a focus on sibling relationships for your little Taurus. This is a time when he or she may feel closer to a brother or sister. If your little Taurus doesn’t have a sibling, this might be the time when they start asking for one! Communication will be important, so make sure you listen closely to your Taurus child. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights learning. The New Moon on July 18th is a great time to teach your little Taurus the joys of reading. Venus, your Taurus child’s ruling planet, turns retrograde on July 23rd. This brings a period where their self-worth will be highlighted.

July is the month to boost your little Gemini’s self-esteem. Boost your Gemini child’s confidence with praise and by listening to them. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights deep emotions, so don’t be surprised if your little Gemini gets quite emotional during this time. The New Moon on July 18th is a great time to introduce the concept of doing chores for pocket money. Mercury, the ruler of your Gemini child, moves into Leo in the second week, bringing some drama with it.

This is your little Cancer’s month to shine. Pay special attention to them during the month of July. Health and vitality should be at a premium this month. The Full Moon on July 3rd will highlight close friendships and any issues to do with bullying. The New Moon brings a chance to start anything to do with the physical body, so it’s a great time to introduce a new physical activity, such as sport or dancing, or encourage an old one. Your little Cancer is a child of the Moon and this month they can bask in the silvery glow of healthy emotions.

The month starts off quietly for your little Leo. He or she may prefer to spend some quiet time during the first three weeks of July. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights your Leo child’s daily routine. The New Moon on July 18th is a great time to introduce meditation to your little Leo. Taking time out to do some quiet, creative activities will be appreciated by your Leo child. The Sun rules over your little Leo, so by the end of the month, vitality will be high and health should be at a premium.

July starts off with the focus on friends for your little Virgo, so encourage socialising during the first few weeks of the month. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights fun and good times. The New Moon on July 18th is a great time to introduce your Virgo child to a new group. Encourage him or her to follow their dreams. Mercury, ruler of your Virgo child, moves into Leo in the second week of the month, bringing a wonderful opportunity to introduce guided meditation for relaxation and to calm the mind.

During July, parents will be very important to your little Libran. One parent in particular may be favoured during this month. Your little Libran’s reputation may also be highlighted in some way. The Full Moon on July 3rd will highlight family. The New Moon on July 18th may bring career opportunities for a parent. On July 23rd, Venus, ruler of your little Libra, will turn retrograde. Any issues to do with friendships in the past, may now arise once more.

July brings a focus on your little Scorpio’s beliefs. Topics of a religious or spiritual nature may also arise during this time. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights learning. The New Moon on July 18th is a great time to book a holiday and include your little Scorpio in the planning. It’s also a great time to introduce foreign cultures through stories, films and food. Pluto, the ruling planet of your Scorpio child, remains retrograde this month, so your little Scorpio may require some quiet time this month.

July may be quite an intense month for your little Sagittarius. This energy may be something that your Sagittarius child isn’t used to, as they are normally very open, happy children. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights your Sagittarius child’s resourcefulness. The New Moon on July 18th is a good time to encourage sharing or anything that involves doing something with another child. Jupiter, the ruling planet of your little Sagittarius, spends quite a bit of time inspected this month. Your little Sagittarius, therefore, may need some time out for reflection.

The month of July brings a strong focus on relationships for your little Capricorn. They may discover a best friend at this time. Alternatively, the best friend may be a major focus if there is already one in your little Capricorn’s life. The Full Moon on July 3rd shines a light on your Capricorn child. The New Moon on July 18th again emphasises relationships, so encouraging social activities with a good friend will use this lunar energy wisely. Saturn, ruler of your Capricorn child, remains retrograde so there may be quiet periods throughout the month where your child goes within.

Daily routines will be important for your little Aquarian this month. Family pets are also highlighted. Vitality may be down a little this month, so watch your Aquarian child’s health. The Full Moon on July 3rd may see your little Aquarius withdrawing for a few days. The New Moon on July 18th is a good time to introduce looking after the family pet. It’s also a great time to introduce a new routine into your Aquarius child’s daily schedule. Uranus, ruler of your Aquarius child, makes a challenging aspect to Venus in the second half of the month, highlighting the need for freedom.

Your little Pisces may express themselves through creative activities this month. Encourage them to paint, sing, draw, act – whatever is enjoyed the most. Having fun will be the main focus. The Full Moon on July 3rd highlights friends. The New Moon on July 18th is a great time to introduce a new fun activity to your Pisces child. Neptune your Pisces child’s ruler, turns retrograde at the beginning of the month, indicating that there may be some old ground to go over with them in July.

“Throughout my life I have always been fascinated by the stars. I had my first astrology reading in my 20s and couldn’t believe that a stranger could know me so well. I studied under several astrologers and started consulting when my children were very young. I used astrology to parent my own children (and still do, despite the fact that they are now adults). I have done many children’s charts over the years, helping parents to understand their children. Astrology can put you in touch with yourself. If we all took the time to understand ourselves and others, the world would be a much better place.”
