The Chinese Zodiac & the Lunar Cycles
The Moon plays an important part in Chinese astrology because this type of astrology is based on the lunar calendar. Each Chinese New Year begins on the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice.
Therefore, the Moon is a powerful and appreciated part of this astrology, and when we look at monthly forecasts, we pay special attention to the position of the Moon.
Your Chinese Zodiac Sign’s July Forecast
Summer is here, and July represents the peak of this vibrant season for many. This is emphasized by the fact that this is the Year of the Tiger. For many, this is a rollercoaster year with lots of unexpected surprises!
For certain signs, like Tigers and Horses, there are a few shocking moments and probably quite a few love affairs heating up!
For other signs, like Monkeys and Rats, some degree of caution is necessary. Tiger years are impulsive, and like the Tiger itself, there is a lot of “leaping before you look” going on. But as impulsive and unpredictable as they are, one thing you will never feel during a Tiger year is boredom.
So read on to find out your monthly forecast for July based on your Chinese Zodiac sign!
Rat
There is good potential for progress in July, Rat, and chances are you will find yourself presented with new business opportunities that could be very profitable. However, be wary of scammers making their way toward you this month—always check and double-check everything.
Be careful of emails that reach your inbox encouraging you to click links, no matter how authentic they seem, and watch out for seemingly genuine phone calls. Basically, use that famous Rat wit of yours!
Mid-month brings the perfect opportunity for solid grounding as the Full Moon has plenty of Ox energy attached to it, and this brings greater clarity and a sense of stability. You will have the opportunity on the 20th of July to release emotions that are holding you back.
Don’t be surprised if an intense or heated discussion occurs, which leads to this release of emotions—always stay positive because everything that happens is ultimately to your benefit in the long-term, Rat.
Ox
You’ve got a distinct advantage this month, Ox, as your potential for manifestation during the Full Moon mid-month is especially powerful.
It looks like someone is going to make a proposition to you, and the most important thing is to trust your instincts and try not to overthink. This has been an emotional time for you, but things are going to slow down a little for you this month and give you some breathing space!
So it’s the perfect opportunity to arrange a little weekend away or book yourself in for a spa treatment. The chaotic aspects of everything will reach their peak very soon, and then you will be able to take some time to chill! So long as you stay focused on your goals, you can’t go wrong.

This is also the year that your Jupiter Returns in western astrology, so it’s a double-whammy for you. You can feel the karmic aspect of this year hitting you quite hard!
It looks like the surprising encounters are going to continue into July, and the possibility of exciting new love affairs is also strong, as is spicing up an existing relationship if already in one.
You might meet someone who you’ll end up long-term with, but for now, you’re mostly about keeping things light and going with the flow. Keep that attitude as that’s the best way to maneuver right now.
Just keep an eye out for admirers who may not have your best interests at heart. They may make a beeline for you this month, so just keep your wits about you!
Rabbit
You struggled at the start of this year, especially emotionally, Rabbit, but things are beginning to fall into place now. The more you go with the flow and learn to accept the changes coming your way, the easier things will be.
Mid-month, we are seeing a grounded and stable Full Moon appear to remind you of your overall aims, so if you have found yourself veering off course or slipping off the bandwagon, this Moon will kick you back into gear.
A new hobby or interest is likely to get your attention this month so go for it, Rabbit! It’s all designed to help you break out of your comfort zone, which can become a prison if it is not carefully cultivated and maintained by you.
Meeting new people is on the agenda for you this summer, so follow your instincts and let your intuition guide you.

Life-changing events are going on, and you may feel so overwhelmed by everything that you don’t know what to do with yourself.
