July 1 zodiacs are Cancer signs. Ambition and emotion are two qualities that rarely go hand in hand. But where other signs may hide their emotions to make way for their ambition or table their ambition in favor of following their emotions, you find a way to balance the two.
In the same way, you are also always looking to balance your sociable nature with your desire to spend time in quiet reflection. You make a great companion and are popular in crowds, but you’re also a deep thinker, and need time to yourself to reflect and flex your creativity.
Birthday Horoscope of July 1 Zodiacs
Anyone who is born between June 21 and July 22 is under the astrological sign Cancer. This makes you a water sign. Like all water signs, your emotions run deep and are as changing as the tides of the sea.
Sometimes, you feel only light ripples of emotion. They pass in and out of your mind without disrupting that ambition that you’re known for. But other times they are stormy and deep. Its when those emotions surface that you often need quiet self-reflection to think them through and manage them. If you don’t, they may spill over in a messy show. As you learn how to ride your waves of emotions, you’ll also better understand them, and be able to predict their rise and fall.
The planetary ruler of all Cancers is the moon. When you consider that the moon controls the Earth’s tides, this makes perfect sense. The moon is intricately connected to your own emotions, strengthening and deepening them.
At times, you may feel as though your emotions are so fine-tuned that you have nearly psychic abilities for predicting or sensing the feelings of those around you. With a July 2 birthday, you were born in the first Decan of Cancer. This makes the moon power over you even stronger.
Positive Personality Traits of Cancers Born on July 2
As a July 2 zodiac, you are a creature of habit. You prefer your home space above any other place on earth. You covet your home; even while you’re happy and having a good time, you’ll long for your own house if you stay away for too long. Your “home” doesn’t necessarily have to mean your house though. For you, home and comfort are simply found wherever you feel most familiar with.
Just because you feel most comfortable in a familiar space doesn’t mean that you don’t like new and novel things. You are curious and clever. Even when you are placed in a new and potentially confusing situation, you find that you can be surprisingly resourceful all on your own.
You have an excellent sense of humor and are always seeking to make those around you laugh. Whether it’s your laughter that draws them in and makes you the life of the party or you already were the center and you’re simply keeping everyone entertained remains unclear. Regardless, you’re naturally charismatic.
Even though your emotions are powerful and deep, you tend to keep things superficial when you’re around others. It isn’t that you don’t like to open up; instead, that’s your way of making the atmosphere more chill and relaxed.
You set people at ease by keeping it happy and light. That said, you value sincerity in your chosen companions. You are fiercely loyal, and you expect the same loyalty from anyone that you choose to commit to, romantically or otherwise.
Negative Traits that You May Be Prone To
Positive and determined, you enjoy dreaming and planning. Unfortunately, sometimes you struggle to move past that phase. This can leave you stuck; without pushing yourself and taking action, you can never move forward with your life or grow.
Because you are so often the center of attention and great for a good laugh, you often come to expect that people are focused on you. When you find that they aren’t, you may be thrown off balance. You might then turn to try to manipulate others or do anything you can to refocus the attention of those around you.
When your emotions bubble to the surface, they may spill over. If this happens when you are on your own, you may struggle to channel them. This can leave you prone to depression or sadness, and hurt your self-confidence. If they spill over in public, it may be even messier. You might lash out at those closest to you or otherwise, come across as angry and violent.
While you do enjoy some change, you prefer that it come about gently. You don’t want to be forced out of your comfort zone. Instead, you prefer to be coaxed. When you aren’t, you may feel lost, reluctant, or even upset. This can cause you to shut down completely, preventing you from doing what you need to in order to address the changes that are taking place in your life.
Who July 2 Zodiacs are Attracted To
Your charisma spills over into your romantic partnerships, making you a fun, loving partner. Don’t mistake that for being shallow though; you are also loyal and dedicated to anyone who wins your affections. Your dreamy nature makes you attracted to others who enjoy flexing their imagination. You want someone as active as you are, who can keep your life exciting and interesting.
Your sense of intuition means that once you’ve had a chance to judge someone, you’re rarely wrong in your impression of them. You know that your intuitions are usually right, so you trust them. If you don’t like someone when you first meet, it is unlikely that you’ll change your mind later on, barring a big character change.
Your feelings often exist only at extremes. You either really like someone or really dislike them. You rarely have room for waffling in between the two.
An emotional, moody spirit can be difficult to adjust to. People who aren’t used to dealing with such strong emotions may struggle to cope at first. You often need to be handled carefully. Even just a word or two can set you off. You may not mean to, but you lash out quickly when your emotions have been bundled up too long with no way for you to release them.
That intuition that can cause you to distrust or dislike someone from the start can also do the opposite. For that reason, you believe in love at first sight and are always on the lookout for that perfect person and the “aha” moment that will tell you that he or she is perfect for you.
Unfortunately, it can be tough to identify that moment until it happens. You are likely to fall in love fast, at a young age. Don’t worry, you rebound quickly from failed relationships, eager and ready to move on. You’ll wait until you are ready and really in love before you take the next step and get married.
Who You’re Compatible With and Signs to Avoid
Those powerful emotions can be difficult to handle. For that reason, you might be better off striking up relationships with other water signs, including Scorpio and Pisces. They also have deep, roiling emotions, rocking like the waves of the ocean. You may find that you balance one another well. You understand how it feels to have your moods shift constantly, and can offer your support and love when the other person needs it the most.
Unfortunately, having two overly emotional individuals in one relationship can sometimes have the opposite effect. You may butt heads or lash out at one another.
More than anything else, you want someone who can offer you unconditional love and support. You want to know that even when you’re moody or unpredictable, the other person won’t turn around and run. You need someone who can offer you loyalty, and who won’t just leave when the going gets tough.
Those born under the astrological sign Virgo might be best equipped to offer you this. You’ll also find a little extra love luck in those individuals who were born on the 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 31st of any month during the calendar year.
Luck for a July 2 Zodiac
As a Cancer sign, your lucky color and your lucky metal go hand-in-hand; silver. Shiny, solid, and modern, yet classic, this hue and metal imply mystery and sensibility. Silver is constant, dependable.
But at the same time, the shifting, shining surface symbolizes the change that you have to learn to accept. Wearing silver accents or adorning your home in the color might just help you welcome little changes, and prepare for bigger ones.
Other lucky colors for Cancers include violet, blues, and all soft pastels. These hues are softer and more comfortable, bringing to mind quiet afternoons in your own home garden.
The birthstone for those who were born on July 1st is the Pearl. This precious, mysterious stone symbolizes purity and innocence. These are great for balancing out those surging emotions of yours. Wear it to remind yourself to stay calm when you feel those rising tides of emotion threatening to overcome you.
Your characteristic flower is the Acanthus. Rare and beautiful, this bloom represents grace. This is also perfect for balancing those emotions when you use it in your home or gift it to other Cancer signs. You’ll also find luck in the soft, pure Water Lily. You also have a few lucky numerals, including 5, 9, 12, 14, and 23.
Career Suggestions for Cancers
Creativity is a great way to channel your emotions. You’re likely especially talented in one or two creative skills in particular. Cancers make wonderful singers, dancers, and other types of artists.
You also have a deeper understanding of human emotions and their broad spectrum than others. This makes you an excellent nurturer to others. If you can learn to channel and control your own feelings, you’ll excel as a therapist, doctor, or counselor.
Finally, your charisma and drive are great for the political field. Your compassion and humor will help you easily appeal to the people for elections.
