Happy July! For a month that is supposed to be about the sign Cancer, we sure have a lot going on opposite in Capricorn.
First off, Capricorn is about the grown-up side of our personality and the energy that is about testing us so we master new levels of proficiency. Capricorn brings limits, rules, regulations, timing factors, structures that support, personal goals, career objectives, status, reputation, fame, authority figures, and our own leadership into play. It is about what is finite, black and white, any endings or commitments, our ambitions and getting real. So, I start our July forecast out with this because Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and on July 1st Saturn is going to Retrograde back into his sign, Capricorn, for the last time. He will now take you back over old ground here so you can do any final releasing, fixing up, reworking, or rekindling of things between now and Dec 17th when he exits this sign to not return for another 29 years. During these months ahead, you are in the do-over Retrograde phase July 1st-Sept 29th at which point Saturn will go Direct and you will move forward on what you figured out from Sept 29-Dec 17th. Plan accordingly!
Saturn has us backing up over our goals, career needs, status, or authority figures from July 1st but the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn peaks on the 5th so something is coming to a head in a big way at this point. We may have an ending, something or someone eclipsed out, or find we are wrapping up projects or situations that we’ve been working on, or there could be something coming through, accomplished, achieved, and celebrated in a big way at this point. So, aim high and work towards what you’d like to see happen in the days leading up to this Eclipse. Eclipses do have Trigger days so you may also have something happening about this on June 7th, July 1st, July 9th, or Aug 2nd.
On July 21st, my Birthday, Mars begins to resonate the outer planetary positions and will continue to build in his frictional square to them through the end of August so whatever you have going on personally or physically that requires a push from you or actions needed to overcome an obstacle will start to heat up now with these goals, career matters or authority figures.
By the 27th of July Jupiter in Capricorn will form an opportunity alignment with Neptune in Pisces so the door opens up for something big and expansive with the goal, career, status, or authority figure and any Jupiter themes such as legal, travel, foreign, distant, educational, media, marketing, political, ceremonial, or religious in the mix, and what is going on with the research, secrets, investigations, deceptions, hidden agendas, institutions, artistry, spirituality, romance, karmic matters, addictions, or dreams in the mix.
Chiron is the energy of wounds, vulnerabilities, healing, and spiritual guru focus on healing or teaching others. It is in the sign of Aries asking us to focus on our bodies, name, title, brand, image, ego, identity, or personal needs here. On July 12th Chiron Retrogrades so something shifts in this story for each of us. We may spend the months ahead taking a breather from some of this or we may need to go back and address old issues or rekindle old interests or rework some ongoing situation so pay attention to what is shifting for you with wounds, vulnerabilities, body, ego, and other personal matters at this time. Chiron will be Retrograde until Dec 17th. So, if you have been paying attention to how all this is threading together we see the ruler of goals, career and authority figures returning for a do-over and then some final forward momentum July 1-Dec 17th, while the wounds, vulnerabilities and healing energy takes us back over personal or physical issues for a do-over July 12th – Dec 16th, and in the midst of this we will have Mars move into play on July 21st to start squaring from the sign where this wounds, vulnerability and healing is playing out to the sign of Saturn’s do-over with goals, career and authority figures, bringing more fire, passion, anger, fights, and action to the story until the end of August. There is a big story here for you if you think about it.
Now for the Cancer energy at play this month! Mercury has been Retrograde in Cancer since June 18th so you’ve been rethinking things when it comes to your home, any real estate deals, moves, or renovations, or what’s going on with your family, parent, roommates, history, or ancestry. Mercury is about readdressing ideas, talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, and decisions here as well as any reworking of something involving siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, short trips, or community activities in the mix about it. Mercury continues to take you back over things so you can release what is no longer working, rekindle anything that holds promise or rework situations so you get it right up until July 12th. Mercury then goes Direct and whatever you figured out about these topics you should now shift gears as well and start moving forward again about it. There is then a New Moon on the 20th in Cancer which opens up 2 weeks where you can gather more momentum behind efforts to start something new or take a current situation into that next chapter with home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, history, ancestry, or roommates.
Finally, the Sun heads into Leo on the 22nd, kicking off 30 days of focus on creative ventures, the kids, your love life or lover, or recreational pursuits. This puts a beam of light on these matters and urges you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these topics. You can make it about your interests in the mix or take the lead and bring your name, title, brand, image, body, or desires to the story.
ARIES:
Since December 2017 Saturn has been testing you when it comes to the direction of your life and your life goals, your status, reputation or fame, your career path, and your parents, bosses or other authority figures in your life. This period has been about endings or commitments, looking at the rules, regulations, responsibilities, and ambitions in the mix and doing the brick by brick work of getting serious about these matters one way or the other. Saturn has given you a little break since he moved into Aquarius back on March 22nd but now on July 1st he Retrogrades back into Capricorn and takes you on you very last leg of this journey now through Dec 17th. Once he exits on Dec 17th, he won’t return for another 29 years. So, you have some last things to get real about when it comes to your goals, career and/or those authority figures starting now. Saturn will be taking you back over old ground to rework, release or rekindle things past or ongoing now through Sept 29th and then he goes Direct in Capricorn and moves you forward with what you’ve figured out as you cement some things here from Sept 29-Dec 17th.
To add to the focus on your personal goals, status, fame, reputation, career interests, and those authority figures, July brings a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse here on the 5th which means something powerful is culminating in one of these areas. You may be wrapping up projects or situations you’ve worked on or mark an ending in one of these areas, or you could have some breakthroughs, achievements or celebrations in these areas now. As the month progresses we will have Jupiter in this sign of your goals, career, status, fame, and authority figures moving into an opportunity alignment with Neptune in your zone of research, institutions, romance, artistry, and spirituality, to open the door for you to bridge something between these two realms so look for this peaking on the 27th.
You’ve been hosting Chiron in your sign and this has made it a time when you have had to address physical or personal wounds and vulnerabilities and look at what is going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, or personal needs from this perspective. It is also about healing and stepping into your own ability to heal or teach others from your personal experience of said wounds and vulnerabilities so there is an up side to this story. On the 12th Chiron will Retrograde and stay in this mode until Dec 16th. This means these months ahead are about taking a breather from some of this or revisiting past or ongoing issues to release, rekindle or rework things so pay attention to what is shifting for you on this date for clues about what this may be for you. Mars is also in your sign as you may know and by July 21st will start to resonate those outer planets in a frictional square that is likely to get you much more fired up and active about your needs and what’s going on with those goals, career matters or authority figures now through the end of August.
Mercury enters July in his Retrograde mode so up until the 18th you are backtracking and revisiting past or ongoing scenarios regarding your home, family, parent, roommate, move, renovation, or real estate deals. Mercury is about news you hear about this that takes you back or the talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, or decisions being made that impact a review of said topics. Mercury Retrograde ends on the 18th and as the energy shifts to forward direction again you shift along with it, ready to move forward with choices about these topics. Of course, be guarded about any mix-ups, malfunctioning electronics or mechanicals or miscommunications about these matters during the Retrograde phase. You then have a New Moon on the 20th which opens up 2 weeks of momentum for you to launch into something brand new or take a current interest into that next chapter with home, moves, renovations, real estate deals, parents, roommates, or family.
Finally, on the 22nd the Sun heads into Leo and begins his 30 days of spotlighting this territory. For your sign this is about your love life or lovers, any creative ventures or projects, the kids, or your recreational pursuits. With the Sun here you stand out, can make it about you or your interests and take the lead or you can just show up and get more personally or physically involved while the energy is in flow with your sign, enjoy!
TAURUS:
Happy July, Taurus! The month commences with Saturn returning to his sign, Capricorn, as he Retrogrades back in on the 1st and will tour here one last time, now through Dec 17th. Once he exits in December he will not return for another 29 years so this is an important time to wrap up any last things you want to get serious about regarding your educational pursuits, travel plans, situations at a distance, legal needs, media ventures, marketing ideas, wedding plans, ceremonial interests, religious experience, or political interests. Saturn is giving you now through Sept 29th to review, release, rekindle, or rework something via the rules, regulations, responsibilities, limits, endings, long-term commitments, or ambitions about it. Then from Sept 29th Saturn will go Direct and you will move forward with these topics through Dec 17th. So, what stays, what goes, what needs more effort or fine-tuning?
To add power to this focus on travel, distant, legal, educational, media, marketing, wedding, ceremonial, religious, or political themes, you head into July with energy building to the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse which is focused on these same topics. This means something is coming to a head in at least one of these areas in a big way. You may be working to wrap up a project or situation here or marking an ending or there could be something to celebrate or an achievement recognized in these areas of life. You could be eclipsing out something here as well. Then, by the 27th, Jupiter will focus in on these topics to take things bigger and align with a personal aspiration, original project, friend, group, online situation, astrological influence, gathering, charity, or other social interest in the mix. Here you may find the door opening to link something here via artistic interests, spiritual matters, institutions, research, or romance.
Chiron has been asking you to address your wounds and vulnerabilities, as well as ways to heal said issues and step into your ability to heal or teach others from these experiences with a focus on your 12th house topics. So, some of this may have been about addictions or bad habits, some on secrets or deceptions, some on ways you self-sabotage or deal with boundary issues, some on your romantic, artistic or spiritual life, and some on any isolation, depression, investigations, research, or institutions you’ve been dealing with. On the 12th Chiron will Retrograde and start taking you back over old ground or giving you a break from some of this for a while or helping you review, release, rekindle, or rework something past or ongoing in one of these areas. You’ll have until Dec 16th in this do-over phase to figure it out, watch what shifts on the 12th for clues about what it may be for you.
Mercury is Retrograde as you enter the month so you are still in your review, release or rework phase in your talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions, or with your siblings, neighbors, moves, vehicles, electronics, short trips, moves, or local activities. This do-over phase ends on the 12th when Mercury goes Direct so you are now shifting gears and ready to move into what’s next. Much of this has to do with your home, family, roots, or security needs so watch what is coming into play now. By the 20th the New Moon kicks in and gives you 2 weeks of boost forward in these same areas so you now have more potential to start something new or take your current interest into that next chapter so pursue accordingly.
Finally, on the 22nd the Sun heads into Leo which is going to be spotlighting your love, creativity, fun, or kids interests at home, with family, with real estate deals, moves, or renovations, or with parents, roommates, history, or those security needs. You now have 30 days of these matters being illuminated which is your cue to show up and get more personally or physically involved by putting your interests forward or taking the lead on something here. It should help you stand out or have an edge here.
GEMINI:
For the last few years Saturn tested you in Capricorn which was your once every 29-year period to get serious about your responsibilities, limits, endings, commitments, structures, time, or ambitions about your financial situation, sex life, reproductive needs, birth, death, divorce, or third-party matters. To that end you may have dealt with tests, a new level of self-mastery or new goals with loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, or these more personal interests of sexuality, reproduction, divorce, death, birth, or triangles. The last few months Saturn gave you a break with these topics as he moved on into Aquarius but now, on July 1st, he Retrogrades back into Capricorn for you last serious focus here before he moves on to Aquarius for good. So, July 1st-Sept 29th you are in your do-over phase, reviewing, releasing, rekindling, or reworking past or ongoing scenarios here so you get something right. Then from Sept 29-Dec 17 Saturn will move forward through these matters and so will you as you get things moving one way or the other here while you have his influence on the matter. So really pay attention to what is needing your attention in these areas as the month gets underway.
By the 5th there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse which is 3 times more powerful than a typical Full Moon and it is in the same territory of financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, and third-party matters. This means whatever is going on here with your Saturn do-over, something is wrapping up, ending, achieved, or celebrated in a big way with these situations now. Note the Eclipse trigger dates listed up above in the general overview for key days to watch besides the 5th. Finally, by the 27th, Jupiter meets up with Neptune in an opportunity alignment, opening the door between whatever big thing is going on with your Jupiter interests in financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party matters-think legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, wedding, ceremonial, religious, or political themes, and whatever is going on with your Neptune focus on personal goals, career or authority figures via your institutions, research, artistic, romantic, or spiritual interests, is connecting for an opportunity between them.
Chiron has been asking you to address wounds or vulnerabilities with your friends, groups, associates, online interests, astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, freedom, or original projects. It has also been asking you to look at any healing or potential for you to teach or heal others via your understanding of these wounds, again focused on these same topics. Now, on the 12th, Chiron Retrogrades so you may slow down a bit here or get a few months of a breather so you can catch up with what has occurred or you may be heading back over old ground to review, release, rekindle, or rework something here so you get it right. Look at what is shifting for you at this time and take that as your cue.
Mercury is Retrograde as you enter July so you are still in your do-over mode with your ideas, talks, sales, writing, or decisions about income, purchases, possessions, or products. Stay in flux and review, release or rework things as you see fit. On the 12th Mercury goes Direct again so you shift gears at this point and are ready to move forward again having figured something out. Something about home or family likely influences this moment. The New Moon on the 20th is then giving you a boost forward when it comes to your income, purchases, possessions, or products, again with a nod to home, family, moves, renovations, real estate deals, parents, or roommates in the mix. You now have 2 weeks to launch into something brand new or to take a current interest into that next chapter.
Finally, the Sun heads into Leo on the 22nd which puts a spotlight on your talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, and decisions, as well as on your siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, short trips, and local activities over the next 30 days. This is your cue to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these areas of life or to involve your name, brand, image, body, title, or needs here. This should help you stand out or make it about your interest here so make the most of it.
CANCER:
Since Dec 2017 Saturn has been testing your relationships, Cancer, and you are probably very glad this is only a once every 29-year transit. Saturn has wanted you to look at limits, endings, commitments, structures that support, responsibilities, and ambitions with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other key players. Saturn made a temporary exit from these tests on March 22nd but now, starting July 1st, he’s back for his last go-round. So, it’s super important that you get real about what you need to do with key relationships as he is Retrograding now through Sept 29th and allowing you to release, rekindle or rework any past or ongoing needs here. Look at goals you have on a personal level, any dealings with authority figures in the mix or how your career objectives align with these folks and rework what you can. On Sept 29th Saturn will move forward in this relationship zone and you should be cementing things as you move them into place between now and when he exits for good on Dec 17th.
To really emphasize how important these relationships choices are right now, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 5th in your zone of relationships so you also enter the month with something building to a climax with your partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates. This is considered 3 times as powerful so you may have a very big celebration or ending, breakthrough or wrap-up, or perhaps you are achieving goals now. Finally, to add even more weight to your relationships this month, on the 27th Jupiter moves into an opportunity alignment with Neptune which is a rare configuration and a powerful one. Jupiter is in your sign of relationships, doing his part to go big or involve legal, travel, distant, educational, media, marketing, wedding, ceremonial, religious, or political interests with these partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other players. The link to Neptune means you can involve institutions, research, romantic interests, artistic pursuits, or spiritual matters.
Chiron is the wounded healer and he has been focused on wounds and vulnerability, as well as healing and the ability to teach or heal others, when it comes to your career, reputation, dealings with authority figures, or personal goals. On the 12th he Retrogrades which may give you a few months to ease up a bit and regroup or it may be asking you to rework something by going within or reviewing ongoing or past situations to get them right. Note what is coming up for you at this point with the boss, parent, judge, mentor, director, or other higher-up or with that personal goal or career interest and then put the time into your do-over as you release, rekindle or revamp things. The Retrograde is in play until Dec 16th.
You entered July with Mercury still Retrograde in your sign so you’ve been in a do-over on a personal or physical level as well. This period is about the talks, news, offers, sales, writing, interviews, agreements, or decisions focused on you, your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs. It’s about reviewing past or ongoing situations here and releasing, rekindling or reworking something. On the 12th Mercury Retrograde ends and Mercury goes Direct again which is a shift in direction for you on a personal or physical level as you should now be ready to move ahead as well having figured something out. Then on the 20th there is a New Moon in your sign so you then get a nice boost from the cosmos to move into something brand new or to take your current interests into that next chapter. This boost is in play for 2 weeks, strongest at the beginning and fading with strength towards the end so use it to move your image, brand, name, title, body interests, or personal desires forward.
The Sun heads into Leo on the 22nd which is your cue to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved making money, focusing on purchases or doing something with your possessions or products. You’ll have 30 days with a spotlight here, your time to shine, stand out, take the lead, or promote your interests here.
LEO:
Since Dec 2017 Saturn has been testing you with your work and health, your animals, co-workers, hired help, and paperwork, as well as any holistic, organic or simplifying focus you might have going on. Saturn has wanted you to master some new level of proficiency, to be a leader or deal with authority figures here, to look at limits, endings, commitments, structures that support/don’t support, responsibilities, and ambitions in these matters. He moved on for a brief spell on March 22nd this year but now, on July 1st, he is back. So, you are entering the last pass of his tests and serious approach to these topics, what stays, what goes, what need reworked? Saturn will be in Retrograde/do-over mode until Sept 29th at which point, he will go Direct and take you forward with what you’ve decided here setting things in place until Dec 17th. He then exits these topics to not return for another 29 years so make the most of it now.
To show you how serious the universe is about all of this, not only do you have Saturn coming in for a last round but by the 5th this month the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse brings things to a climax with work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, or co-workers and this is 3 times more powerful than a typical Full Moon! So, you enter the month with things building to a peak here and by the 5th you should be having a breakthrough, wrapping up projects, ending something altogether, celebrating, or achieving goals here. This should be enough but oh no! Then on the 27th of July Jupiter moves into an opportunity alignment with Neptune which is going to open something up in a big way for you with one of these topics. Jupiter is trying to give you a growth experience or bring travel, distant, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political influences to bear on your work, health, paperwork, hired help, co-workers, or animal needs. This is now linked to what’s going on financially, sexually, with a birth, death, divorce, or third-party matter and the institutions, research, artistic, romantic, or spiritual needs. Look for what is possible.
Chiron has been bringing up any wounds or vulnerabilities and also pushing you to step into your ability to teach or heal others due to your understanding of these wounds or vulnerabilities since the Spring of 2018. His focus for your sign has been on your needs or involvement with travel, situations at a distance, your beliefs, higher education, law, media interests, marketing ideas, weddings, other ceremonies, politics, philosophy, or religion. Now, on the 12th, Chiron Retrogrades and things shift gears. Over the months ahead you may be able to take a break from some of this and catch up to what has occurred or it may call you back to the past to rework, release or rekindle something or it may be about a do-over with an ongoing situation so you can get something right. You’ll have until Dec 16th to figure it out.
You entered the month with Mercury still Retrograde behind the scenes and so you are rethinking, releasing, reworking, or rekindling something with an art project, film, musical interest, your poetry, painting, dance, a romance, your spiritual practices, psychic interests, magical pursuits, an addiction, secret, deception, investigation, the research, or an institution. Your talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, or decisions should be about this do-over up until the 12th at which point Mercury ends his Retrograde and goes Direct, shifting gears back forward. This is your cue that it’s time to move ahead with whatever you figured out. To add to this forward momentum, there is a New Moon in this same arena on the 20th, opening up 2 weeks of potential to launch into something brand new or to take what is already in play into that next chapter, so forward you go.
Finally, the Sun heads into your sign on the 22nd which lights you up Leo and puts the attention on you for all to see. This can help you stand out or take the lead and it definitely is your cue to focus more on your body, image, brand, name, title, or personal needs. Promote yourself while you have this edge, you have 30 days to go for what you want.
VIRGO:
Back in Dec 2017 Saturn moved into your zone of true love and lovers, creative ventures and talents, children, and recreational pursuits. It was the beginning of a 3-year test to help you master some new level of proficiency or get serious about structures that support, limits, endings, commitments, responsibilities, or ambitions here. On March 22nd this year Saturn moved on for a brief spell but now, on July 1st, he returns to these topics for his last serious focus here and this is your cue to get serious about what you really want with your creative ventures, love life, kids, or recreational interests. He is Retrograde here until Sept 29th so this part of his last journey here is about releasing, rekindling or reworking past or ongoing scenarios here. Then he goes Direct on Sept 29th and from then until Dec 17th he moves you into those choices and helps you cement them before exiting for good, not to return for another 29 years. Make it count.
To add emphasis to how important these matters are to you right now, you also enter the month with energy building to its peak with lovers, kids, creative ventures, and recreational pursuits thanks to the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 5th. At this point something peaks in a big way, considered 3 times as powerful as a typical Full Moon, bringing things to a head via an ending, breakthrough, wrap-up, celebration, or achievement in one of these areas. If this weren’t enough, and it should be, there is a rare configuration by the 27th this month, as Jupiter, in this area of true love, kids, creativity, and fun, moves into an opportunity alignment with Neptune. So, Jupiter wants your growth, happiness or prosperity or any travel, distant, legal, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political input into these matters. Linked to Neptune it brings partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, or other key relationships into the potential and sparks inspiration, romance, artistry, spirituality, the institution, or research potential. This is big.
Chiron has been bringing a focus on your wounds and vulnerabilities as well as urging you to step into your ability to heal or teach others based on your understanding of said wounds or vulnerabilities, since 2018. For your sign it’s been in an intense area of the chart, it’s been about your loans, debt, inheritance, bankruptcy, taxes, insurance, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, partner’s money, or other financial interests, or about your sexual interests, reproductive needs, a birth, death, divorce, your power, jealousy, obsessions, manipulations, or third-party situations. Now, on the 12th, Chiron Retrogrades and shifts gears a bit. This may allow you the months ahead to take a bit of a breather and catch up on what has transpired or it may be about going back into the past to release, rekindle or rework something or to focus on an ongoing situation and what is shifting gears here as you head into this do-0ver and reworking phase. You’ll have until Dec 16th to figure it out.
You entered the month with Mercury still Retrograde which this time around has been about your aspirations, freedom, original projects, friends, groups, internet interests, astrology, charities, or gatherings. Mercury is helping you to review, release, rework, or rekindle past or ongoing situations here via the talks, news, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about it. On the 12th Mercury Retrograde ends and he goes Direct again so things shift gears again and you should be ready to move ahead as well having figured something out one way or the other. To add to this forward momentum there is a New Moon on the 2oth in the same territory so you now have 2 weeks to launch into something new or take your current situation into that next chapter, be proactive.
Finally, the Sun heads into Leo on the 22nd which is about you starting to be more personally or physically involved in creative, fun or loving interests behind the scenes. This may be about what you are doing at or about an institution, what you are involved with via research or investigations, the things you are involved with in art, film, music, painting, poetry, dance, or romance, or your spiritual practices, magical pursuits or psychic abilities. Focus on your interests here, take the lead, stand out, recharge, or involve your name, brand, image, title, body, or identity here.
LIBRA:
Saturn began testing you about your home or family, roommates or moves, renovations or real estate deals, security needs or parents, back in Dec 2017 and it’s been a few years now of limits, rules, regulations, endings, responsibilities, long term commitments, and ambitions here as you moved along the road to self-mastery and graduation from this transit. March 22nd, he moved on for a temporary moment so you’ve had a reprieve but now on July 1st he Retrogrades back into this zone for the very last time and you should get serious about what stays, what goes and what needs some added effort to get it right. You’ll be in a do-over stage until Sept 29th at which point Saturn goes Direct again and from then until Dec 17th all the things you figured out during the Retrograde will be put on their feet and moved forward. On Dec 17th he will exit this placement to not return for another 29 years and the harder stuff should then start to ease.
To add to the importance of getting serious about these matters right now, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 5th so as you enter into July things are building to this culmination point regarding your home, family, parent, roommate, move, renovation, or real estate deal. At this point you may be wrapping things up, ending things, celebrating, or achieving your goals here. This is considered 3 times more powerful than a typical Full Moon peak so aim high. Finally, by the 27th this month there is a rare combination involving Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter is focused on these same topics and looking to go big or bring legal needs, travel, distance, education, media, marketing, ceremonies, religion, or politics into the story. It is meeting with Neptune to help inspire you or get the institution on board or the research in play or lend romantic, artistic or spiritual vibes to your financial, sexual, mortality, divorce, or third-party needs in the mix. This is an opportunity alignment so the door is open between these influences.
Chiron has been asking you to look at wounds and vulnerabilities as well as any potential for healing or for teaching or healing others from your understanding of these wounds and vulnerabilities since 2018. It’s been playing out with romantic or business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates and where you are with your needs in the equation. Now, on the 12th, Chiron Retrogrades and over the months ahead will allow you to take a bit of a breather from this as you reassess where you are in the situation or it will slow things down enough for you to rework, release or rekindle this so that you can figure it out. To that end there may be something coming up as this begins it’s Retrograde to point out what needs attention. You’ll have until Dec 16th before Chiron is back in play in forward motion.
Mercury is still Retrograde as you head into July and the focus for you is on your career, status, fame, personal goals, parents, bosses, directors, judges, or other authority figures. So, you want to release, rekindle or rework ongoing or past scenarios here via the talks or meetings you have, your agreements, sales, writing, or interviews, any offers or ideas that impact here, or your choices. Mercury Retrograde ends on the 12th so at this point things shift gears and you should be ready to move forward again in these areas having figured something out. To add to this momentum there is a New Moon on the 20th in this zone of personal goals, career, status, fame, and authority figures so you now have 2 weeks of potential boost to help you start something brand new or take your current scenario into a new chapter.
Finally, the Sun heads into Leo on the 22nd kicking off 30 days of spotlight on your friends, associates, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, or your personal aspirations and original projects. This social period helps you show up and get more personally or physically involved here, to tie in your brand, name, image, title, or promote your interests and to make it about what you want, make the most of it.
SCORPIO:
Saturn began testing you back in Dec 2017 when it comes to your talks and meetings, writing and interviews, sales and agreements, siblings, neighborhood and neighbors, moves, electronics and vehicles, and your short trips, offers and decisions. It’s been a period of limits, restructuring, responsibilities, rules, regulations, endings, long term commitments, and/or ambitions here as Saturn wants you to master that next level of proficiency. March 22nd, he exited for a brief stint to give you a bit of a breather here but starting July 1st he Retrogrades back in for the last time. Now through Sept 29th it’s your time to review, release, rekindle, or rework any past or ongoing scenarios here and then on the 29th of Sept Saturn goes Direct and you will put things into place that you’ve fine-tuned or figured out. This lasts until Dec 17th and then Saturn exits to not return for another 29 years, make this count.
To add to the importance of this getting underway now, by the 5th there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse peak in the same territory of talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, short trips, local activities, neighbors, moves, siblings, vehicles, electronics, offers, and decisions. This is 3 times more powerful than a typical Full Moon so you hit July with things building to this climactic ending, achievement, wrap-up, breakthrough, or celebration in one or more of these areas. To add even more to the story there is a rare combination going on by the 27th this month as Jupiter in this territory locks onto Neptune to form an opportunity between them. Jupiter wants you to be doing something big here or bringing in travel, distance, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political themes. Neptune is about getting inspired or finding the artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, or research influence that opens things up with the lover, creative project, kids, or recreational pursuit in the mix. Look for what this might be and head into it.
Chiron has been testing you since 2018 over wounds and vulnerabilities, any possible healing and your potential to heal or teach others based on your personal understanding of these wounds and vulnerabilities. The focus has been on your work, your co-workers, hired help, or paperwork, as well as on your health or animals. On the 12th this month Chiron Retrogrades and this shift in direction should either give you some time now to take a bit of a breather from what has been going on and to regroup a bit or to slow down enough to go back over something here and release, rekindle or rework things so you get it right. You have this do-over in play until Dec 16th.
You also enter July with Mercury still Retrograde so you are in the midst of your do-over with legal, travel, distant, media, marketing, educational, ceremonial, religious, or political interests. It may be that things have slowed down here for one reason or another or that you are in there redoing something past or present via your talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about it. Mercury Retrograde ends on the 12th so at this point things shift gears and you should have figured out whatever you needed to figure out and be ready to move forward again yourself with these topics. To add to this story, there is a New Moon on the 20th in the same territory so you now get a boost from the cosmos that can help propel you into something brand new or take whatever you are into now into that next chapter. You have 2 weeks of this cosmic boost.
The Sun heads into your career midheaven on the 22nd for a 30-day tour. This is about a spotlight on your career, your personal goals, your status, fame or reputation, as well as on the boss, parent, judge, director, producer, mentor, or other authority figure in your life. It is your cue to show up and get more personally or physically involved here, to make it about your interests in the mix and take the lead. Bring your creativity, spirit of fun and anything involving lovers or kids as you take this forward.
SAGITTARIUS:
Saturn began testing you over the rules, regulations, limits, responsibilities, endings, commitments, and ambitions you had regarding your income, purchases, possessions, or products back in Dec 2017 so you’ve been through quite a bit here in your quest for self-mastery and setting up the foundations to build upon moving forward in these areas since then. From March 22nd until July 1st you were given a bit of a break from this serious focus but now, on July 1st, Saturn Retrogrades back into this territory for the very last time and asks you to rework, release or rekindle something past or ongoing here now through Sept 29th and then to start moving these things forward from Sept 29-Dec 17 at which point his tests here are done and he will exit, not to return for another 29 years, so make the most of this last push with your income, purchases, possessions, or products.
To add to the seriousness of your do-over with income, purchases, possessions, and products, there is a Full moon Lunar Eclipse on the 5th which is bringing things to a head in a big way. So, you enter the month with things building up to peak in these areas by the 5th and you should be wrapping things up, marking endings, celebrating breakthroughs, or achieving goals here. Finally, by the 27th Jupiter is active with your income, purchases, possessions, or products so you may find something big going on with travel, distance, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political themes tied to these topics. This in turn is linked to something inspired at home, with real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, or roommates in the mix. This may bring artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, or research interests into the story, door open.
Chiron has been testing you over wounds and vulnerabilities since 2018 as they pertain to your creative ventures, kids, lover, or recreational pursuits. This is also about you looking at said wounds and vulnerabilities so that you might be able to teach or heal others based on your understanding of wounds in these creative, love, kids, or recreational arenas. Now, on the 12th, Chiron Retrogrades which can help ease up on some of this or ask you to go back to the past to rekindle, release or rework something or to let go of something current or rework it to get it right. This do-over lasts until Dec 16th.
You also enter the month with Mercury Retrograde so you are in the process of your do-over with loans, debt, inheritance, bankruptcy, taxes, insurance, alimony, a partner’s money, or other financial topics, or with your sex life, reproductive needs, a birth, a death, the divorce, or any third-party matters. This period is also about rethinking, releasing, rekindling, or reworking past or ongoing scenarios here. On the 12th Mercury Retrograde ends and Mercury goes Direct again so you should feel ready to shift gears in these areas and start moving forward again. To add to this forward motion there is also a New Moon on the 20th that is about these financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party matters so you now have 2 weeks of momentum that can help you launch into something new or take the current situation into that next chapter.
Finally, the Sun heads into your zone of travel, distance, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, and political themes so the next 30 days are putting a spotlight on your in these areas. This is your cue to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these interests. It should help you stand out, take the lead or make it about your needs in these matters.
CAPRICORN:
Saturn has been testing you since Dec 2017, Capricorn, to get serious about your body, image, brand, name, title, identity, and personal needs. He’s set limits, brought responsibilities, endings, commitments, and ambitions here so that you would get real about what needed to stay, what needed to go and how you could master some new level of personal or physical proficiency so that once he exits at the end of this year you will be on solid ground and ready for what’s next. He exited your sign for just a bit, since March 22nd, to give you a bit of a break but now, on July 1st, he returns one last time so you really want to do whatever it is you need to do to make this count. You are in do-over energy with this since Capricorn Retrogrades into your sign now and this means letting go, reworking past or ongoing scenarios and taking your time to get something right now through Sept 29th. Saturn will then go Direct in your sign and you will move forward with what you have figured out until he exits for good on Dec 17th, not to return for another 29 years.

Finally, Jupiter is active in your sign on the 27th, helping you go big or focus on the happiness or prosperity or involve travel, distant, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests on a personal or physical level. So perhaps you are signing your name to legal documents or showing up in person on that plane or putting your brand or image out there via media or marketing ideas, you get the picture. As Jupiter does his part to open something up for you here, he connects with Neptune which brings opportunities for artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, or research news or more talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, or decisions about it into the story.
Chiron Retrogrades on the 12th in your zone of home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, and roommates and will be taking you back over old wounds or vulnerabilities here to do some healing or releasing now through Dec 16th. There may be something popping up here as the energy shifts to turn your attention to a past or ongoing story up for review, release or reworking. Since Chiron Retrograde on the 12th shifts the direction of these wounds or vulnerabilities and Mars will be coming to sit on the same degree with Chiron from the 13-15th, activating them, these days between the 12-15th would seem to be cautionary. By July 21st Mars will start to resonate those outer planets in a frictional square that is likely to get you much more fired up and active or reactive about your needs with those goals, career matters or authority figures and what is occurring with now through the end of August.

On the 12th Mercury goes Direct, ending the Retrograde and shifting the direction of things back into forward motion. So, you may have something shift with one of these players now or find you have figured out who stays, who goes and how you want to now start moving forward with or without them. The New Moon on the 20th then gives you a nice boost forward with these relationships, helping you to start new ones or start new interests with ongoing ones or take some of them into that next chapter. You’ll have this in motion for 2 weeks, make the most of it.
Finally, the Sun heads into Leo on the 22nd for a 30-day tour which illuminates your financial, sexual, mortality, divorce, power, and third-party interests. This helps you focus on your own needs in these situations and to stand out and get more personally or physically involved.
