We are officially through the first half of the year! It is always amazing how fast time seems to fly. We have an action-packed month with some big movement up in the sky. This month leads us into the big conjunction on August 1st where Mars, Uranus and Rahu at 24 degrees of Aries. This can bring with it extremes and sudden unexpected events. There could be extreme weather, including an extremely bad wild fire season. We could see electrical or power grid issues. We could see technological advances as well. The impact of this conjunction can begin a few days before and last a few days after. Remember, just because the exact conjunction is on the 1st doesn’t mean that events will happen that exact day.
We have a lot of other movement throughout July. Mercury will be in Gemini from July 1 until July 16. This can make communication easier during this time. It is a quick stay and then Mercury is in Cancer for the remainder of the month. This can be a time where people begin to overthink their emotions and feelings. The Moon and Mercury are opposite planets. The Moon is about the feeling and Mercury is about logic. Mercury will enter Leo on July 31. On July 12 Saturn will move back into Capricorn for its final stay until January 16, 2023. This could be a time where we see the government trying to take back more control. On July 13 we have a full Moon at 27 degrees of Sagittarius in the lunar mansion of Purva Ashada. People may appear to come across as more righteous during this full Moon. Venus will spend the first part of the month until July 12 in its own sign of Taurus before moving into Gemini on the 12th. While in Taurus Venus will be at home and expressing the best of itself. We will end the month with a new Moon at 11 degrees of Cancer on July 28. Also, on July 28 Jupiter will be stationed to turn retrograde on this day as well.
