This month will begin with some startling surprises and a few twists turns along the way as 3 planets begin their retrograde periods this month and Venus will be conjunct Uranus on July 4th, which can be a very unexpected and wild set of circumstances. They are both close to the constellation Pleiades, also known as the Weeping Sisters, so there is a symbology of sadness surrounding that part of cosmic real estate.
The Moon is also in a long Void of Course period beginning in the afternoon of July 2th, through the 3rd and ends in the wee hours of the 4th when the Moon then enters Scorpio, the sign of its fall. I wouldn’t expect an upbeat celebration this weekend; it is just not the time for it. Void of Course just means the Moon makes no aspects to any of the planets so things tend not to work out or they just flounder during the void period.
This particular void is a long one, about 36 hours, but many are just a few hours or even less, so you’ve been through voids many times. Take things in stride and don’t try to make something happen as it won’t really work out the way you want it to. In fact, do less not more.
Mercury does its retrograde dance between July 18 and August 10, moving from 15 degrees of Leo to 9 degrees where it stations. Per usual Mercury Rx dictum, don’t sign leases or contracts and don’t buy expensive items or technology items during the Mercury Rx period.
Venus is moving towards an exact conjunction with Uranus and the Pleiades at 29 degrees of Taurus on the 4th and then enters the sign of Gemini, where she will remain for most of the month. She enters the sign of Cancer on 7/31, where she will grace family connections and contacts in the month of August.
Mars moves from 8 degrees of Virgo through 25 degrees of Virgo throughout the month and will get a square from Venus in fellow mutable sign Gemini. This can be fun if you keep a light-hearted attitude. Just don’t expect new relationships to work out into a long-term connection, and you’ll be fine. Summer flings can still be a thing, you know!
Jupiter settles into the sign of Cancer and moves from 5 degrees through 11 degrees this month. Where the sign of Cancer is in your chart is where you can experience gains and opportunities, so pay attention and take advantage of luck and blessings that come your way. Say yes!
Saturn begins his retrograde period on July 13th at 1 degree 56’ of Aries and goes back to 1 degree 39’ Aries throughout the month. His Rx period spans from November 28th to 25 degrees of Pisces, so there is more to revise or change regarding the events that occurred in the 2nd quarter of the year. Those who haven’t followed the rules or the law get some recognition for it. We have the rules of law for a reason and justice matters.
Neptune will go retrograde on July 4th at 2 degrees, 10’ of Aries and goes back to 1 degree, 59’ by July 31. Notice it is traveling in tandem with Saturn during the retrograde so the more invisible aspects of Neptune will be visible as Saturn casts his dose of reality onto the mystical or imaginative Neptune energy. This also includes the delusional or deceptive aspects, too, as one really wants to be in truth, not in a false narrative.
Pluto is in retrograde motion and moves from 3 degrees, 7’ of Aquarius to 2 degrees, 26’ as the month passes. New information about technology blunders or system corrections will be revealed. Since Mercury is retrograde through August 10, do not buy or lease any technology equipment during that time.
READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:
Aries — March 21-April 19: You will feel some pressure from both the Neptune retrograde on July 4 and the upcoming Saturn retrograde on July 13 as they are both in early degrees of Aries. What that means is there are some things left unfinished and that need to be completed before you can freely move into something new. Mars is firmly transiting your solar 6th house of health, so you can establish new habits or routines that can support your well-being now. Uranus will enter your 3rd house of siblings, communication, skills, and interests, so look for something opening up in that area for you. Your stellar days are the 16th and 17th.
Taurus — April 20-May 20: With Venus now in Gemini in your solar 2nd house, you may be tempted to spend more money than usual as you may be a bit bored with what you have and want some variety in your life. Be careful so you don’t want to blow the budget on a whim now. Uranus will enter that 2nd house tomorrow, July 7, which can also bring some changes in your cash flow, good, bad or both! With Uranus, you just never know how it will go, so, just be aware and careful with your cash and credit. Stay in touch with your siblings as Jupiter and the Sun are transiting your 3rd house. That brings in more favorable contacts in general. Your best days this month are the 18th and 19th.
Gemini — May 21-June 21: GEMINI: You will be getting an interesting boost by both Venus, now in your sign and Uranus, going into Gemini on the 7th. This will bring some rather unusual changes in your life and some of them will just arrive out of the blue as that’s how Uranus operates, like a lightning strike of luck! It will take a while for you to really feel it and it will be more pronounced by the summer of 2026 but Venus is there now and will give you an extra glow and so many people will notice you. This is something to take advantage of so don’t ignore opportunities even if they are very different than your normal way of working. The world is changing and you can definitely be a part of it! Take advantage of the positive lunar vibes on the 20th and 21st!
Cancer — June 22-July 23: With Jupiter in your sign for the next twelve months, you will experience more opportunities and general well-being during this time. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and can bring in extra good fortune over the next 12 months. Jupiter expands what it touches and generally brings in new experiences that expand your world in new ways. This works in tandem with Neptune and Saturn at the top of your chart, which will shift your professional life in a new and positive way over the course of the next year. If you get an opportunity to travel abroad or get more education, take it. This is a time when you can reap much positive karma from your past actions, so be ready for these fortunate new openings. The 22nd and 23rd are your best days.
Leo — July 24-August 23: Mercury is in your solar first house now and will be retrograde on July 19th, going back to 4 degrees Leo on August 11. So, Mercury will be in your sign for the entire months of July and August. This is more than double the amount of time Mercury typically spends in a sign. This can mean enhanced communication opportunities, but during the retrograde period, you need to be very impeccable with what you put out there, as mistakes can come back to bite you. Transiting Pluto is on the cusp of your solar 7th house, so you may have significant, serious issues concerning your partnerships/marriage. This aspect will be present through January of 2026. Best days to rest and rejuvenate are at the new Moon on the 24th, the 25th and the AM hours of the 26th.
Virgo — August 24-September 22: With Mars in your sign all month and transiting your 1st house, you are strengthened by this as it gives you power, prestige and authority. Venus and Uranus are at the top of the chart, and this month will bring in some interesting and pleasant occurrences. Uranus takes more control of this area of your life, your professional/career house, in the summer of 2026, and that can bring in some unusual shifts and changes with your work. Most of this is out of your control, so don’t worry about it, as there’s a lot of life that will happen along the way to inform you of your best options. Your stellar days are the AM hours of the 26th, the 27th and the 28th.
Libra — September 23-October 22: Jupiter is transiting through your solar 10th house for the next 12 months, which can give a real boost and expansion to your professional/public life. Take advantage of this cycle to expand your professional outreach. Jupiter expands the house it transits so it is a real boon for you to grow your business. Neptune and Saturn are in early Aries at the cusp of your solar 7th house, so any partnership issues need to be realistically settled over the next nine months. Those two planets work well together if you are practical in your expectations and dispel any romantic illusions about how you think it should be. It’s a great combo for bringing dreams into reality, so deal with what is and you’ll be fine. The 29th, 30th and early AM hours of the 31st are great times to promote yourself.
Scorpio — October 23-November 22: Mars in Virgo is transiting your solar 11th house of dreams, aspirations, professional associates and income from your profession. This can expand your professional reach through the middle of August. Mercury will be retrograde from July 18 through August 11, in Leo in your solar 10th house, so there may be a renegotiation for the next phase of a project or your professional trajectory. Venus and Uranus are transiting your solar 8th house, so you may have to make adjustments to your insurance, changes to your will, or alter your investment strategy. It is a time of financial evaluation. Pay attention to the market fluctuations and trust your intuition about what to do. The lunar vibes of the 4th, 5th, AM hours of the 6th and the PM hours of the 31st favor your actions.
Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With your ruling planet, Jupiter, transiting the sign of Cancer, its exaltation placement, there is some luck and good fortune around you for the next 12 months. It is going through your solar 8th house, which has to do with money, investments, wills, and inheritance, which usually means some gain is coming your way during this period. Mars is transiting your solar 10th house of profession and career so you may have some new opportunities coming in. Jupiter is also stimulating your 4th house of home so a move might be considered during this time as well. In any event, it is a fortunate time for you. Make the most of the favorable vibes in the PM hours of the 6th, the 7th and the 8th.
Capricorn — December 21-January 20: Your ruling planet, Saturn, goes retrograde this month on the 13th through almost the end of November as he slides back to the 25th degree of Pisces and then clears out of Pisces on Valentine’s Day in 2026 for a two-and-a-half-year slog through Aries. Fortunately, he will be closely accompanied by Neptune in 2026, to give you ample time to fashion a new vision for your future and to make realistic plans on how to accomplish it. Saturn’s nature is a bit slow for the sign of Aries so there may be speed bumps along the way as you have to hash out details but do not miss opportunities along the way be being too nitpicky or hyper cautious. It could actually be quite the creative time for you as it happens in your solar 5th house of creativity, children and passion. Pay attention to the positive vibes on the 9th and the full Moon on the 10th as these days favor you.
Aquarius — January 21-February 19: Pluto, retrograde at 3 degrees of Aquarius, is on your solar Ascendant, giving you an air of somber seriousness. Sometimes, this is accompanied by a health event that requires a major transformation on your part to regain strength and stability. Fortunately, Pluto can provide that power as well. Uranus enters fellow air sign of Gemini this month and gives some interesting insight and positive support to Pluto so this will feel like a breath of fresh air, a reprieve from the heavy Pluto vibe you’ve been experiencing. Jupiter and the Sun are transiting your solar 6th house of health so that suggests improvement in that area of life as well. Saturn retrogrades back into your solar 2nd house so you will have some additional expenditures over the next 9 months so budget accordingly. Your stellar days are the 11th, 12th and the daylight hours of the 13th.
Pisces — February 20-March 20: With Jupiter transiting fellow water sign Cancer and your solar 5th house of creativity, passion and children, you should have a pretty good time of it for the next 12 months as there will be quality time to spend with your kids and also time to embark on a new creative venture. Uranus enters your solar 4th house of home, family and real estate and can bring about a move or an additional property you may want to acquire. That vibe gets a lot stronger in the summer of 2026 so there’s no rush. Uranus moves can come out of the blue with a sudden opportunity that comes right to you. Not to worry, if it’s the right time, it will just kind of fall into your lap. The lunar vibes of the 14th and 15th favor you.
