Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday July 2, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Going offline in 3…2…1? Fantasy planet Neptune pivots into its annual five-month retrograde in your twelfth house of dreams, illusions and imagination. Between now and December 7, you could hit on the most brilliant idea, get lost in reveries, commune with your muse, tap into the divine—and likely, a little of all of that! Get immersed, take notes, but maybe leave yourself a trail of breadcrumbs so you can find your way back when Neptune eventually straightens out.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Watch for less than true-blue friends and colleagues who don’t have your back starting now, Bull. You’re generally good at sniffing out these “faux amis,” but for the next five months, hazy Neptune will be spinning retrograde in gullible Pisces and your eleventh house of community and social networking until December 7. Neptune is a famous wrench-thrower under the best of circumstances, and in reverse, things can get seriously wonky. Use this transit to review your inner circle as well as some of the outer rings.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Career inspiration strikes as playful Neptune backflips into retrograde in your professional tenth house until December 7. But since the planet of intuition and mysticism is also the chief cosmic trickster, it’s hard—make that impossible—to predict what shifts it might bring. Ideas and opportunities can strike from out of the blue, but with Neptune in reverse gear, they could disappear or go sideways just as suddenly. To be safe, go the extra mile to get the full story before you do anything.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
You’ve been eager to scratch your wanderlust itch for a while now, Cancer, and as impressionable Neptune turns retrograde in your expansive ninth house, you may experience full-blown cabin fever. And we hardly blame you! But bear in mind, Neptune is the planet of inspiration AND delusion, meaning that until December 7, things won’t always be as they seem. Double-check all itineraries and reservations, and maybe keep a backup plan in place.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Enchanting Neptune flips retrograde, backing up through dreamy Pisces and your seductive, mysterious eighth house until December 7. Prepare for some intense experiences over the coming five months. If you’re in a relationship, things could take a turn for the unexpected, perhaps involving a deeper level of commitment—or the opposite! It’s hard to pin Neptune down, so let this upcoming cycle be your personal life coach for learning how to simply accept what comes up without judging or trying to control it.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Soulful Neptune is retrograde in Pisces and your seventh house for five months, which could throw a wrench into a key relationship. As the planet of intuition and mysticism—but also the cosmic trickster—it COULD illuminate aspects of the union that had been just below the level of consciousness. On the other hand, it can leave you utterly bewildered between now and December 7. If nothing else, this transit may teach you better ways to determine what’s really true versus what you WANT to believe.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Your health, daily habits and self-nurturing come under review starting now as perceptive Neptune turns retrograde in Pisces and your wellness zone until December 7. This will come as happy news if you’ve been eager to make improvements to your self-care routines. But take your time! Neptune can confuse things, and certain issues that are coming up for you might not be what they seem to be at first. Get second opinions before you embark on anything radical, expensive or that limits your lifestyle, which is so important to your sensual sign.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Mysterious Neptune has shifted into retrograde, backing up through your fifth house of romance, creativity and drama. Make art for art’s sake; make love and BE love…but don’t expect things to go precisely the way you want them to. With the planet of fantasy off-course until December 7, the lesson you’ll bump into time and time again is to just go with the flow. Control is an illusion, though you do get to co-create with the universe. For the next five months, practice letting that be enough.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Soulful Neptune starts its annual retrograde today, retreating through sensitive Pisces and your fourth house of family and foundations. But you won’t be the only one sporting thinner-than-usual skin. Going into this five-month cycle knowing that can help—sometimes! It’ll be easier to manage if you live alone, or at least have plenty of your own space. But for Archers who cohabitate, you may need to work out some new house rules to ensure that everyone feels “heard” and like their needs are being met.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
Pardon us, could you say that again? Hazy Neptune is now spinning retrograde in your third house of community and communication. Mixed messages could abound, so make sure you’re being precise. Between now and December 7, you may start to see certain people through a different lens—some for the better, but others could totally take you by surprise. There’s nothing to resent, however, Cap. Clarity is always a good thing, even if you have to swallow a bitter pill. Just remember that Neptune is an unreliable narrator, so don’t take everything at face value.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
If you’ve struggled to get a handle on your finances for the past several months, you’ll get to review your status and consider new options starting today. Alchemical Neptune is officially retrograde in your second house of money and security for the next five months. And while this planet does have a reputation for being a bit of a trickster, its nonlinear style can be amazing for manifesting. Make smart, even conservative, moves—and shift your mindset to one of abundance—and see what happens!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 2
It’s not so much about “downshifting” as your ruler, alchemical Neptune, reverses into its annual five-month retrograde in your sign. It’s more about opening to even higher dimensions and dreamier possibilities than your mystical sign thought possible! And because your cosmic ruler is driving in reverse until December 7, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to reflect back on past endeavors and neglected aspects of your personality that are crying out for rediscovery now. It’s a great time to embark on a spiritual practice or deepen an intimate relationship.
