Full Moon Horror-Scopes
Aries: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is What We Do in the Shadows (2014). This full moon is encouraging you to find balance and pursue things that align with the life and future you desire. You may be currently hiding parts of yourself or feel like you are holding back and leaving parts of yourself in the shadows. Use this full moon and movie as an opportunity to find authenticity and balance in your life, goals, and boundaries.
Taurus: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is As Above, So Below (2011). You are likely in a phase in your life where you are considering what is next and want to do something exciting. You want adventure, freedom, and to expand your knowledge and worldview. Similar to the film’s protagonist (and honestly, villain, I fear), Scarlett, you want to find your life’s purpose and free yourself of the monotony of societal norms. While your adventures will be far more healing and fun, this film is an interesting watch on how the pursuit of knowledge or success can blind us to everything else.
Gemini: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Midsommar (2019). You may have recently left a job or toxic situation and are not sure what is next for you. You may be having a difficult time letting go of negative patterns or things that do not make you feel good. This sort of situation involves a different sort of grief, as you realize you must transform and change your patterns. However, please do not join a cult. Maybe avoid any retreats for the time being, and just enjoy some downtime with loved ones.
Cancer: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Lisa Frankenstein (2024). This full moon is related to your habits in relationships. If you have patterns in relationships that have left you feeling dimmed or disillusioned, it may be time to make a change. Like Lisa in Lisa Frankenstein, maybe you are set on a certain person, but cannot see who they really are. You do not need to fall in love with a zombie, but you should consider what traits and aspects are truly important to you in a partner.
Leo: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Longlegs (2024). It is almost your birthday season, so it is fitting to choose a film where there is a connection to birthdays. You may be feeling stunted or stuck in a rut. Now is the time for you to change that. Face your fears.
Virgo: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Twisters (2024). You may be feeling a bit disconnected recently. Perhaps, you have been working harder than usual and spent less time doing things that bring you joy. This is your sign to find new things that make you happy, connect with friends, and allow yourself to just be. You definitely should not chase tornadoes, but a little excitement and adventure could add some fun to your life.
Libra: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Out of Darkness (2023). Have you found yourself chasing success more than usual? You may be in a phase of your life where you are considering where you want to be versus where you currently are. Things like career, home, and relationships may have felt of higher concern than usual. Similar to the characters in Out of Darkness, you are ready to find your home and create a life for yourself. Make sure to think everything through for yourself and do not accept timelines or ideas posed by society or other people. Trust that everything will work out in the end.
Scorpio: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Men (2022). You need to take some time to care for yourself. You may have found yourself feeling over-extended or constantly exhausted. This is your sign to take a stay-cation or short holiday. Just make sure to avoid cottages in the woods with a strange host.
Sagittarius: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Don’t Breathe (2016). You may be thinking more about your finances and examining your relationship with money. The characters in Don’t Breathe find themselves in a dangerous situation after a failed robbery attempt. While you will likely not be attempting anything similar, this film may still be an interesting watch for those with money on their mind.
Capricorn: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is MaXXXine (2024). This full moon is all about you. You are the star. Like Maxine’s relentless pursuit of fame, you may be wishing to give your dreams a second chance. If you have manifestations on your mind from the first full moon in Capricorn this year, then use this second full moon as Capricorn to focus your energy on those.
Aquarius: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is Talk to Me (2023). You may be neglecting yourself or your spiritual side. Things have happened recently that have made you question your purpose and ability to make your dreams come true. This may have caused you to avoid people or distance yourself from friends and loved ones. Avoid looking for connections in the wrong places and reflect on the ways that you can restore boundaries and positivity, as well as your outlook on life.
Pisces: Your horror-scope film for the July full moon is The Night House (2020). You’ve been going through a lot of changes recently with both Saturn and Neptune in retrograde in Pisces. This new chapter is showing you where you can make changes or resolve old wounds. A new version of yourself is forming and you are building a foundation for the rest of your life. Similar to Beth in The Night House, you may come to see a past situation in a new light and it could alter the trajectory of your life.
