What would you say if I told you that you can work a kind of magic in July? This month brings a New Moon eclipse – a marvellous time for anyone who knows that our conscious thoughts create. If you think good thoughts, if you think you're worth it, if you’re grateful for all the good in your life, then use this month to attract more of what you want.

The energies are higher than ever in July. In particular, be sure to set aside some time on 13 July (any time after 3.47am) to write down your wishes – just after you wake up is ideal. Write down up to 10 wishes, read them out to the universe and feel the wish being fulfilled. The most important thing to set the manifestation in motion is the belief that you can influence your world with your thoughts. Believe it and feel it.

The New Moon eclipse this July will be between Venus and Saturn. This makes the energies at the time of the eclipse especially great for making any kind of commitment. Anything to do with love or money will be especially well supported by the Sun, Moon and planets.

CANCER

23 Jun to 23 Jul

July is an exciting month for everyone as there is a New Moon eclipse. These are all about wiping the slate clean and starting afresh. This month, the New Moon is in your sign so that goes quadruple for you! It's a massive shout-out from the universe that now is the time to reinvent yourself – banish fears and success will come. This can be one of the most dynamic times of your life, no matter what your age.

Power date: 13 July – a day to decide how you want to change your life

LEO

24 Jul to 23 Aug

There are two eclipses this month. One is a Full Moon eclipse in your Love Zone, which means that events are coming to a head – one way or another – with regards to at least one important relationship. If you've come out of a relationship and you're ready for someone new in your life, this is the time to draw a line in the sand and move on. Do it consciously now.

Power date: 27 July – the eclipse in your Love Zone could be very exciting

VIRGO

24 Aug to 23 Sep

Whatever else you do in July, make a wish as soon as you wake up on the morning of the New Moon eclipse, 13 July. It's in your Wishing Zone and that's a big deal. To have the eclipse here means you can expect at least one of your most heartfelt wishes to come true now – but you have to believe it and achieve it. This is also the perfect month for you to adjust your daily routines so they’re more to your liking.

Power date: 26 July – your planet Mercury starts a retrograde cycle

LIBRA

24 Sep to 23 Oct

The energies are high this month. July brings the New Moon eclipse in your Career Zone, so now’s the time for you to be forging full steam ahead professionally, be it doing what you do or something new. And if you don't work, what does it mean? That whatever you do that you are ‘recognised for’ by the community or your family and friends is having a moment. One way or another, this is your month to shine.

Power date: 27 July – a day to feel the power of love

SCORPIO

24 Oct to 22 Nov

This is a great time for you to either get away from it all or to plan a trip away. The New Moon eclipse is in your Ninth House, aka your Travel and Adventure Zone. So, think about where you really want to go and what you can do to make it happen. If you're strapped for cash, think about doing a home swap with someone a few hours away from you. A change of scene will do you good.

Power date: 5 July – you will find it easier to express yourself and speak your mind

SAGITTARIUS

23 Nov to 21 Dec

The New Moon eclipse is in your Eighth House, aka your Sex and Money Zone, so if you want changes or just ‘more’ in those areas, take action. And how should you do that? For a start, set aside some time to daydream about what you want when it comes to those two parts of your life. The more intense your daydream, the better. Activate the law of attraction.

Power date: 10 July – you’ll start to feel like you're moving forwards again

CAPRICORN

22 Dec to 20 Jan

The New Moon eclipse this month is in your Love Zone, which means you can expect big changes – maybe a whole new start – in at least one important relationship. If you're with someone you've been with for eons, something could happen now to freshen things up or make them feel quite different. If you're alone and open to new love, that could come now, too. But you have to be open to it.

Power date: 27 July – a day of intense feelings, most of which should feel good

AQUARIUS

21 Jan to 19 Feb

July brings two eclipses – the New Moon eclipse in Cancer and the Full Moon eclipse in your sign. Having an eclipse in your sign really is a very rare event and something you should make the most of. Use it to change your life in one major way. What needs to shift? Face up to it and make it happen. Changes will be easier this month. Face the direction you want to go in.

Power date: 27 July – the eclipse in your sign today is your signal to turn a corner

PISCES

21 Jan to 19 Feb

The New Moon eclipse this month could be just what the cosmic doctor ordered for you after an intense few months. It will be taking place in your Fifth House, which is effectively your ‘fun zone’. Expect a new boost or surge when it comes to romance, a creative project you're working on and/or kids (your own or someone else's). It’s a very good time to deepen your spiritual practice, too, in what could turn out to be a life-changing way.

Power date: 22 July – you should feel loved today

ARIES

21 Mar to 20 Apr

There’s a new start for you in your home and family life this month. This is because of the New Moon in your Home Zone mid-month. It makes July an excellent time to move house, buy, sell or renovate, or heal a family rift. Where do you want to go in your personal life and with all things domestic? If you’ve been putting off making a decision, July supports you.

Power date: 26 July – you should be brimming with confidence

TAURUS

21 Apr to 21 May

Expect a busy month as the New Moon eclipse fires up your Third House. There will be lots of places to go and people to see, so forget about staying home. Plus, of course, with the mad planet Uranus getting settled into your sign, you're on a rollercoaster ride now anyway. Forget about the way life was and embrace the new and the constantly evolving. It's just the way it is for you now.

Power date: 21 July – this could be your very lucky day

GEMINI

2 May to 22 Jun

There could be some exciting financial news for you this month, thanks to the New Moon eclipse in your Cash Zone. These don't come around every year, so make the most of it. Do you have a clever scheme to earn yourself some extra money? This is the time for you to put that into play. Also, an important tip: love yourself more, rate your talents more highly and the extra cash will follow. Just try it.

Power date: 5 July – speak your mind but don't lose your temper
