Aries (March 21—April 19)
The cosmic temperature at the beginning of the month is making you feel like a cat on a hot tin roof; it will get even hotter on July 9, and you’re going to have a lot to say about it. The good news is from July 22 to 29 you will be more in the mood to express yourself creatively than emotionally—this means more bonding and playing with your pack at the dog park, and less arguing over who’s the Alpha pup.
Taurus (April 20—May 20)
The chatter that is circulating within your friend group will speed up during July 9’s new moon. Be careful not to spill the tea about any information that was privately shared with you; if your confidant finds out, you’ll have broken her trust and created even more tangled webs to unweave. Shy away from taking the same route during your daily walks to avoid unnecessary confrontation until the cosmic dust settles on July 21.
Gemini (May 21—June 20)
Your confidence is blooming on July 9 and 11—days that will allow you to reach new depths within yourself, expanding your horizons. Once Leo season commences on July 22, you will be feeling yourself and your high self-esteem will help you earn recognition among those you admire. But don’t fly too high, Gemini: take a beat and recenter yourself on July 21; you’ll emerge with more cool-headed conviction than ever on July 27.

Cancer (June 21–July 22)
You’re wearing your heart on your sleeve this month, but it doesn’t mean that you have to be a complete pushover on July 9. Knowing your limits is important to maintain the balance that you need now. Setting boundaries with your pet parents and your pack at the dog park on July 13 and 23 will help guide you towards a healthy place in your relationships on July 28.

Leo (July 23—August 22)
Do you feel a shift in thee power dynamic this month? You are the main dog on the scene and the top cat of the house, but you’re beginning to feel as though you aren’t getting enough attention. July 13 will be a good, but short-lived, day for you this month; try to remember the feeling on July 23 when you will likely be doubting yourself. The good news is that July 28 you’ll again be feeling lots of love from others—as long as you’re giving affection in return.
Virgo (August 23—September 22)
You are looking for exciting and inventive ways to rev up the daily grind this month, especially on July 9 and 11—the feeling will ramp until July 28, and on the 29th, you’ll want to step completely outside your comfort zone. Go for it: Variety is the spice of life, and this month, you’ve got a shaker full.
Libra (September 23—October 22)
Be careful of those you don’t trust this month, especially at the dog park on July 21 and 29. You have a trusting heart, but not everyone in your life is going to be there for you, or defend you, when times get tough. You may learn this the hard way this month, but that will be good incentive for you to focus on yourself and what’s best for you, first. You can deal with whatever social fallout happens after you get squared with yourself.
Scorpio (October 23—November 21)
You may feel like an introvert on July 9, which will inspire you to step out and enjoy the season on July 13 and 22. The social burnout will be swift, and real, but on the bright side you’ll feel good knowing you got all that face time in with your friends so you can again retreat home, guilt-free, on July 28 and 29. Enjoy being back in your safe place and relax knowing that you are being taken care of by your family.

Sagittarius (November 22—December 21)
Getting lost in a daydream will be ideal on July 13. After all, you might have noticed that the little fancies you’ve been entertaining and the reveries you’ve been having from July 9 to 11 are beginning to come true. This month, you’re really good at seeing your dreams actualized—whatever that may be, be sure to set the intention and focus on it.
Capricorn (December 22—January 19)
July 9 and 13 will make you crave more attention and affection from your pet parents; lately, they’ve been preoccupied with things other than you. Rather than act out in ways that will make your fam annoyed (like chewing on shoes and running like crazy throughout the house at night), give them a sweet stare down and gentle cuddle to get your point across.
Aquarius (January 20—February 18)
Letting your emotions out doesn’t mean that you have to air your grievances 24/7. It’s not good your you—or the others who have to hear your griping all the time. It will be hard for you to find balance in this area this month—especially on July 13 and 23—but you should strive nonetheless to be more measured and self-aware. So often what you put out there comes right back to bite you.
Pisces (February 19—March 20)
Your day-to-day vibe could use a little shake up. This means taking the initiative for finding new ways to get out of the house, and changing up your nap schedule on July 13. Mixing up and adding activities to your schedule is key and crucial this month, as there will be opportunities for you to actualize your passions. And, before you know it, your spirit and energy will be restored in the process.
