Libra Horoscope for July 2022

This is a month, Libra, for seeking balance between activity and passivity, and between self and other. That ideal will ultimately serve you well, since Balance is your sign’s middle name. In the midst of this, you continue your transformation at the core. You seek resolution based on a fresh start, and new action, although coming from a still place within you. Regarding partnership, inner wounding could rear its difficult head, although hopefully for the purpose of transcending and healing any issues that arise. There is an extraordinary focus now as well on career and profession, although with a twist. Instead of the usual accolades for monetary gratification, your best feeling of satisfaction with outer world affairs would seem to stem from a very different source; it is your deepest inner truth that drives you. What you hold inside yourself – as profound value and bottom-line principle – motivates you almost exclusively. You now have a great need to seek your own unique intuition of what makes sense to you. Without keeping this consideration firmly in your mind true success will elude you. Yet by staying within that guidance, nothing can really stop you.
