Note that the Aries, Gemini, Leo and Aquarius areas of life are a big focus this month.
July 1 Caution flag is WAY up, Mars touching Uranus in Gemini through July 8, both arguing with the Nodes. This is potential violence, explosions, technological disasters, technology being used in war. Chiron in Taurus is square to Jupiter in Leo, both barely in their new signs. A clash between slow and steady or dramatic and passionate.
July 4 Precise conjunction of Mars and Uranus. Extraordinarily difficult! Sun in Cancer square to Saturn in Aries is also building which makes things more difficult, argumentative and creates dire consequences.
July 5 Mars in Gemini trine to Pluto in Aquarius, stepping into the minor grand trine formation, giving a boost to radical change and breakdowns.
July 6 Sun in Cancer exact square to Saturn in Aries, stress testing your decisions.
July 7 Neptune stations Retrograde; observe the symbols in the Aries area of life related to inspiration, confusion, delusion. Uranus moves to 4 degrees of Gemini, powering up the minor grand trine with Neptune at 4 Aries and Pluto at 4 degrees of Aquarius. If you have anything near 4 degrees of anything you have big changes coming your way.
July 8 Venus in Leo gets close to touching the South Node in Virgo, trines to Chiron, opposes the North Node exact on the 10th – karmic relationships, financial decisions.
July 9 Venus into Virgo meets Nodes, trines to Chiron in Taurus. Opportunity to heal your broken heart.
July 12 Sun conjunct Mercury Retrograde (“cazimi”) in Cancer provides a moment of understanding or awareness. Pay attention to new information, conversations, ideas.
July 13 Venus in Virgo square to Uranus in Gemini; shocking events related to love, money, resources, food, health matters.
July 14 New Moon in Cancer at 5:44 am EST at 21 degrees 59 minutes conjunct Mercury (in the am) and Jupiter (late in the day) which provides a huge influx of feelings, data, information and opportunities. Moon voids immediately as it becomes New, ritualize after 6:35 pm EST when the Moon is no longer void of course.
July 15 Precise Neptune in Aries sextile to Uranus in Gemini could bring amazing magical moments or insights. “Basket” formation strengthens.
July 17-18 Pluto in Aquarius trine to Uranus in Gemini perfects; technology aids breakdowns and breakthroughs.
July 19 Mars in Gemini sextile to Saturn in Aries inspires us to take action.
July 20 Jupiter in Leo trine to Neptune in Aries is highly inspired and spiritual. It could also give charming people an edge to manipulate people or situations. The Basket is so strong! Jupiter in Leo opposition to Pluto in Aquarius creates tensions between leaders and groups.
July 21 Jupiter in Leo sextile to Uranus in Gemini brings surprising moments of luck; square building between Venus in Virgo and Mars in Gemini brings conflict between wanting to do something well versus just talking about it.
July 22 Sun into Leo, squares to Chiron in Taurus and shows us where we feel vulnerable. Sun close to Jupiter which makes everything seem larger than life.
July 23 Mercury stations direct at 16 Cancer at 6:58 pm EST; what have you had to repair or rethink in the Cancer area of life in the time period from June 12 to now?
July 24 Mercury in Cancer sextile to Venus in Virgo amplifies intuitive responses to tricky situations.
July 25 Precise sextile Pluto at 4º20’ Aquarius and Neptune at 4º20’ Aries at 1:49 am EST. Uranus at 4º45’ Gemini. The exact mathematical angles are quite rare and support massive World-wide changes.
July 26 Saturn Rx at 3:56 pm EST at 14 degrees 44 minutes of Aries; observe the symbols that relate back to the 29 year-ago cycle and see what needs to be adjusted or where more effort must be expended.
July 27 Nodes flip to 29 Leo/Aquarius; echoes of January 2008. Sun in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, be cautious with those who might try to manipulate you. Leaders versus the people yet again (Jupiter did this earlier in the month). The Sun then moves to trine to Neptune in Aries; sextiles to Uranus in Gemini which is positive and supportive.
July 28 The Sun is very close to Jupiter in Leo, connecting to the Pluto opposition in the Basket formation and participating in the sextile/trine to the outer planets. Big emotions, lots of drama.
July 29 Full Moon 10:36 am EST at 6 degrees of Aquarius. The Moon will conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, sextile to Neptune in Aries and trine to Uranus in Gemini. The Sun will conjunct Jupiter in Leo and Jupiter will stand across the sky from the Moon at almost precisely the same time. Powerful focused amount of energy, very dramatic endings. Venus in Virgo square to Mars in Gemini adds to the intensity.
