Virgo, Your July Horoscope Wants You to Practice the Art of Saying Less
Be honest about what you want to pursue, since Venus will question Saturn in Aries and Neptune retrograde two days later. However, don't feel inclined to share your musings with anyone else yet. If you do, you may lose the upper hand. Keep your desire for freedom, change, and progressives somewhat private when Uranus enters Gemini on July 7. A passion project may come full circle by the full moon in Capricorn three days later. Regardless, be protective of pursuing your aspirations to be successful in your endeavors.

Taurus, Your July Horoscope Says You're Letting Your Guard Down-Finally
Someone may go poking their nose where it doesn't belong when Saturn stations retrograde on July 13. Your antennas will be up if anyone asks too many questions or tries to get too close too soon. Unfortunately, your paranoia may only escalate once Mercury retrograde starts five days later. You might feel bad if you don't have any proof to back your suspicions. However, don't let your guard down just because you feel bad. Keep your walls up for now.
A fight may break out, because Venus and Mars will square off with the North Node of Fate and the South Node of Karma from July 20 to July 21. Whatever you suspect may come true, but it could still be a blow. A close confidant in your career path or personal life might not be who you thought they were. Don't be surprised if you step back from socializing once Leo season begins on July 22. Set the intention to heal under the new moon in Leo two days later. You'll be okay.
Much-needed support and validation comes at the end of the month, as Venus enters Cancer on July 30. Your support system will have your back as you multitask your aspirations, goals, and dreams. However, more signs and signals may confirm your intuition during the Mercury retrograde cazimi the next day. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

‘Work became my therapy': Tsholofelo Matshaba on coping after husband's death
Seasoned actor Tsholofelo Matshaba opens up about losing her husband Chris to cancer in 2018. Matshaba says returning to work early became therapy that helped her cope with grief. The star admits grief never goes away: 'You don't get over losing your life partner.' Six years after losing her husband to cancer, actor Tsholofelo Matshaba is opening up about grief, healing, and how her craft became an unexpected lifeline during the darkest period of her life. Chris Matshaba, a beloved former Motsweding FM and North West FM radio presenter, died in 2018 following a lengthy battle with cancer. He was just six months shy of his 40th birthday when he died, leaving behind a devastated wife who had to navigate life without the man she 'woke up next to every single morning.' The couple married in 2014 in Ramokokastad in the North West province, building a life together that would be tragically cut short by illness. Rather than taking extended time off to mourn, Tsholofelo made a decision that surprised many - she returned to work relatively quickly after her husband's burial. But for the seasoned performer, this wasn't about avoiding grief; it was about survival. 'We, as performers, know that our work is also therapy. It heals. It's therapy for the audience. But this time around, my work became my therapy, and that's how I was able to cope,' she explains. At the time, Tsholofelo was juggling two demanding projects - filming the long-running drama Muvhango while simultaneously working on the comedy series Skwizas. To outsiders, her ability to switch between intense drama and lighthearted comedy seemed impossible for someone in the throes of grief. The stage and screen became her safe space to channel the overwhelming emotions that threatened to consume her. 'That's how I took out some of the pain, some of the anger, some of the frustrations, some of the questions that I know will never be answered. I laid it out on stage,' she reveals. The healing power of performance wasn't without its challenges. During one particularly difficult day on set, Tsholofelo encountered an unexpected trigger - a coffin used as a prop. The sight sent her spiralling, a stark reminder that grief doesn't follow schedules.

'This was a person you woke up next to every single morning. This was a person you saw forever with, you know.' Six years later, Tsholofelo acknowledges that healing isn't linear. Her relationship with grief continues to evolve, marked by good days and challenging ones. 'It doesn't go away. Today I can talk about it and smile. Tomorrow it might be something else. And when you ask me about him, I might tear up or cry even,' she admits. A year after Chris's passing, Tsholofelo took to Instagram to share a tribute. She described the pain as something that 'still cuts and burns like a hot rod.' Her tribute was also a celebration of the love they shared: 'I am grateful to have been blessed to have you and all your true love. It was always sweet to call you my angel, now it's bittersweet.'

Your Tarot Card Reading for the Week of August 11
You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let's go! A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: KNIGHT OF WANDS Mercury turns direct (adios to the retrograde we all love to hate) and the Knight of Wands graces us with his charismatic, charming, adventurous presence, which combine to make this week a fantastically fun one! Let your hair down, revel, party, celebrate. Go 'out out'. Explore and travel. Start a new class or workshop or hobby. Join up to a lively-looking group or circle. Get social, get busy, get active. Follow your instincts as to where the 'life and soul' in your local area resides and show up there, visible and optimistic and ready to leap into whatever is going on. This is a week marked by coincidence, lucky breaks, chance encounters, and serendipity. Follow your instincts, be where you're meant to be, have a great time! ARIES: FIVE OF WANDS I know you're ruled by Mars, the god of war and all that, but simmer down, Aries. Stop pouring fuel of whatever fire is lighting up your competitive and passionate nature. The way through this squall is not by battling harder, forcing more, or shouting louder. Subtle moves. Quiet words. Strategic questions. Positive compromises. You want peace after all, don't you? Arguing is tiring and stokes up bad feeling. Get to the bottom of what's caused this fall out, listen well, simmer down, propose ideas, get to a shared understanding and resolution, even if it's to agree to disagree and take a break. TAURUS: THE MAGICIAN The Magician brings you enormous powers of creativity and invention this week, Taurus, so you can show off just how artistic and innovative you are (a hidden secret super power). Taureans are both aesthetic and practical, so you love to make beautiful outputs, perfectly crafted, built to last, in whatever field you're operating in. Invest time and energy making your work imaginative, inspired, and inventive this week and the rewards will roll in immediately. People will be amazed and also wanting more of the same. This could lead to a new role or whole new enterprise for you! GEMINI: SEVEN OF CUPS Your mind is a vast, challenging, whirring realm of quicksilver ideas, insights and questions, which works around the clock. It's a machine, but one that needs maintenance, down time, and recalibration. If you let yourself fly off to outliers and extremes, then you will amplify whatever it is you're thinking about, in an extreme way i.e. anxiety, dread, over confidence, delusion. Gemini, come back down to Earth this week. Validate and ground your thinking. Challenge assumptions. Streamline the themes and topics in play. Take deep rest and spend time daydreaming and just drifting, letting your cogs unwind and reset themselves. Mentally, you're in need of a reboot, a brief 7-day window of rest and repair. CANCER: TWO OF SWORDS You've gone round and round the houses on this issue, comparing options, weighing up different courses of action, not sleeping, overthinking, worrying that whatever you do will go awry. Cancer, enough of this procrastination era. It's time to make a choice, tough or otherwise. Whatever option you choose doesn't have to be perfect, or even right, because once you've lived it out a bit, you can always make a new choice. Nothing is forever or set in stone. Just take the next step and get moving again. LEO: THE CHARIOT The Chariot is a total boss, a power card, and invites you to set yourself a wonderful goal or challenge, and get on the move this very week to make it happen! Travel or location change is highly recommended, sometimes new landscape = new energy and opportunity. It's possible you've outgrown your surrounds in some respect, and simply need new territory to be the top lion/ness of! Alpha Leos need plenty of ground to cover, to avoid other Alpha Leos! Find your territory, mark it, prowl and explore it, and seek to make it better in some way than when you first found it. You are onto something new. VIRGO: SIX OF WANDS Good news, Virgo, because the Six of Wands is like getting a 'lucky break pass' (if such a thing existed) from the generous Universe! For the next six weeks, you are going to make everything you touch turn to gold (if only this was literal!). Good fortune, coincidence, and intuition will guide your choices and decisions. Feel things at gut instinct level before you take a stance. Notice omens and signs. Read the stars. Take a glance at your cards. See a psychic. Get every ounce of insight you can and then follow your hunches. What you go on to achieve will astound you. This success will far exceed anything you could've planned or rationalized. LIBRA: TEMPERANCE Balance is your catnip, harmony is your greatest craving. Librans love smooth seas and plain sailing. Temperance is a sign that all will be well this week and the key ingredient of that wellness is balance and harmony. Live in moderation. Don't overdo anything. Avoid excess in all its guises (food, drink, opinion, ideology, good things, negative vibes). A little bit of everything in moderation- including moderation itself! Your symbol is the scales, you have an in-built sense of equilibrium. Use it wisely and consciously to steer yourself to a grounded, secure position and live in balance. SCORPIO: THE WORLD The World is the tarot's final card and powerful totem of endings that lead to new beginnings (as well as a good omen for international travel or opportunity, if that's relevant). So, you're drawing some stuff to a head, to a conclusion, to a firm ending this week, things which are ready to close down. Be decisive, no loose ends. And, in doing so, you will free up head space, energy and open avenues for new ideas, invitations, and possibility to enter the frame. By the end of the week, you'll have formed a loose, but stirring, idea of what you're going to do next. It's going to be BIG! SAGITTARIUS: SEVEN OF SWORDS Jealousy is a powerful mover and shaker in the human race, compelling all kinds of wild and wicked actions and thoughts, and not a one of us is above it, we all know the green-eyed monster. It will visit you this week, Sagittarius—either as an imposter or within your own psyche. Notice it, acknowledge it, and act accordingly. If you're stricken with envy, then use that as fuel to put investment back into your own position. If you're subject to envy, then think of it as a compliment, but withdraw from its source, pull down the shades and steer clear. The green-eyed monster will pass by soon enough when you're no longer visible. CAPRICORN: THE DEVIL Did you know that The Devil is your sign's tarot card? Always surprises me as I don't think of Caps as devilish. However, it plays to your sophisticated, worldly, ambitious, slightly dangerous or ruthless side or edge. You know what you want, you know the price of getting it, and you're ready to pay it, hence you being the hardest worker of the zodiac (you have big ambitions, that require big energy). Sometimes you can veer off the straight and narrow in pursuit of your ambition, sometimes others get hurt by your indifference to their plight in comparison to your own. It's just a part of your nature. Don't try and diminish your ambitions. Cap, lean in and be powerful, pursue your goal with 100% effort. Let the haters hate. AQUARIUS: QUEEN OF CUPS Feelings are heightened this week, Aquarius, which often makes you feel unsettled, however you're in tune with and understanding of your emotions right now. You know why they're stirred and what the sensitivity is about, and you're ready, willing, and able to play therapist/nurturer/counselor/BFF to yourself too! Self care and compassion, patience and love. Be soft and gentle with yourself this week, as though you were a treasured child or pet! You are vulnerable, you need taking care of as you process what's happened, and come to a new place of acceptance. This takes a bit of time and a lot of mercy and compassion for yourself and your precious heart. PISCES: THE FOOL The Fool is the tarot's first card and patron saint of new beginnings, clean slates, and fresh starts. What a breath of cleansing and inspiring air! Breathe deeply, Pisces, and use this magical energy to take a bold leap into the unknown! Don't overthink yourself, just jump! You are embarking on a new adventure that might be related to travel, technology, progressive causes, an invention or innovative pitch or role. And you don't need to have a 10-year plan to activate this good cause, you just need the confidence to make that leap and the pathway will form from you ready?
