July 2026

July is an important month astrologically with lots of tension and opportunity.

4 July – Mars conjunct Uranus – this is an intense drive for freedom and independence, revolution and social unrest. In sign of Gemini it certainly speaks about disruption and innovation in space of technology and communication/trade. But it also shows how war has fundamentally changed. Relatively cheap drones are an innovation the traditional military didn’t expect.

5 July – Mars sextile Neptune – the sacrifices connected to war and aggression. Martyrdom. Religious wars.

Mars trine Pluto – this is an aggressive signature of war and force. It could also represent a push back against those in power and control.

6 July – Sun square Saturn – knowing your limits – how does this apply to leaders across the world? Accountability.

7 July – Neptune retrograde – deception and ideals. What do we need to reconsider? Where have we been duped?

13 July – Venus square Uranus – this could be a volatile period for currencies and stocks

14 July – New Moon 21 Cancer – focus is home/family and sense of safety

15 July – Uranus sextile Neptune – revolution and innovation

18 July – Uranus trine Pluto – revolution, social change, what happens to those in absolute power? War and innovation. Natural disasters.

19 July – Mars sextile Saturn – accountability for actions or lack thereof. War – how does it end?

20 July – Jupiter opposed Pluto – force for good or evil? Once again what does Jupiter magnify? Pluto associated with death and decay, disease, tax and corruption, power and control. Financial collapse? Drowning in debt?

Jupiter trine Neptune – good fortune – too good to be true? Greed and corruption. How is this connected to religious and or spiritual leaders?

21 July – Jupiter sextile Uranus – social unrest and revolution – what does Jupiter magnify? Jupiter is associated with law and beliefs and in sign of Leo – leaders and Kings.

22 July – Sun in Leo – big focus on leaders across the world and Kings/royalty.

23 July – Mercury stations direct in Cancer – need to take care with what is written and or spoken. Don’t cause unnecessary harm.

25 July – Neptune sextile Pluto – ideals and power – what dissolves?

27 July – Sun opposed Pluto, sextile Uranus, trine Neptune – leadership crisis

29 July – Full Moon 6 Leo/Aquarius, Sun conjunct Jupiter – leadership in the spotlight – for the good or against the people?

This is a particularly transformative period in the world.
