On JULY we have the following main configurations: 

The BOSS of first 20 days of this month is the CARDINAL CROSS:

PLANET IN ARIES: URANUS

PLANETS IN CANCER: Mercury (till 6th July), Mars (till 20th July), Sun (till 22nd July), Moon (between morning of 21st and 23rd July);

PLANETIN LIBRA: Jupiter;

PLANETS IN CAPPRICORN: Pluto in retrograde motion, Moon (between evening of 7th July and 10th and morning of 10th July)

Possible effects at individual level: stress, restless mind, passive-aggressive reactions due to emotions.

Possible effects at mundane level: conflicts, power games, accidents, natural disasters, all kind of crises. Most of them you can see around the world already.

What cardinal cross demand: change, evolution, adaptation, challenges, thinking out of the box.

Witch signs are affected: Everybody who has Sun, Ascendant, and Ascendant ruler or important planets in cardinal signs – Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

During this month RETROGRADE PLANETS are NEPTUNE, SATURN and PLUTO.

On 22nd July, the SUN ingress in LEO: Happy Birthday for all natives!

MOON PHASES (Greenwich local time):

FULL MOON in CAPRICORN on 9th of July at 06:06: Full Moon is tightly conjunct controlling Pluto (exact at 11:05 p.m.), but you could be tempted to rule with an iron fist, especially since the Moon also opposes major Mars. Staying in touch with your sensitive side is the challenge from the Moon opposing the Sun in nurturing Cancer.

NEW MOON IN LEO on 23rd of July at 11:45: New Moon form conjunction with mighty Mars, which is like a great roar from our cosmic lion! New starts made under this lunation are boosted by motivation and drive, but the Sun–Moon–Mars trio also forms a quarrelsome (out-of-sign) square to Uranus. Prima donna moments could spoil the spirited potential of this New Moon, especially if you’re too full of pride to ask for directions. The Moon’s conjunction with Mars help you to enjoy the warmth and vigor emitted from this lunation.

At the New Moon, Mercury in Leo conjoins the North Node, encouraging you to speak your truth and to filter information through your heart’s wisdom. There is no time for ego games!

MERCURY transits:

Between 6th and 26th of July Mercury is in LEO: There is a harmony with Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. So the mind works well and communication can be profitable.

Starting with 26th July Mercury is in VIRGO: Helping you in clear any mental mess and upping our aptitude for organization. Projects requiring dexterity are suited to this transit, as is any undertaking that requires detailed work or apprenticeship. With Virgo also ruling health, thinking more about our physical body’s needs and requirements may help us to identify where improvements can be made.

VENUS transits:

Until 5th of July VENUS is in TAURUS and finally it is closed the complete cycle of retrograde motion of this planet in 2017.

Between 5th and 31st of July VENUS is in GEMINI: You are curious and flirtatious, and enjoy intellectual relationships with exchanges of ideas. Communicating within a relationship is important to you. You can be restless, and sometimes gets bored. You may have many money-making ideas. The trine formed by Venus and Jupiter brings opportunities, optimism and luck in love. The main beneficiaries are Gemini natives and Librans, then Aquarians, and, to some extent, Arians, Leos, and Sagittarians, as well as all who have their Ascendant, ruler of Ascendant,

MARS transit:

Until 20th July MARS is in CANCER: Now you have the ability to fight for people or for causes about which you feel strongly. You are particularly protective of your family. When personally hurt, you are likely to retreat into your shell. But beware of cardinal cross demands.

Between 20th July and 5th September MARS is in LEO: Creativity is animated and you are full of confidence. Bold moves may now help you achieve your goals, as long as you don’t give in too much to the desire to gamble.

DO NOT FORGET! The North Node in Leo points to the best way forward: to channel the fierce warrior energy of Aries and the truth-telling of Sagittarius through your wide-open hearts so that you become Warriors of Love. While the North Node is in Leo (until November 6, 2018), these themes are key to soul growth. The transiting North Node points to your evolutionary assignment — a way of being that most naturally leads to fulfillment and success. The Leo North Node says that the best way forward is to lead with love, follow our hearts, prioritize our happiness and vitality, and take a playful approach to life.

Important note: In all my astrological research and interpretations I use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history. When I am writing about aspects between planets, I use aspect from sign to sign; I am using a traditional way of interpretation of aspects. An aspect is not a must to be at perfect orb to have an effect. It is enough if we have a planet in a sign that forms an aspect with another planet from another sign. The most powerful aspects are: conjunction, opposition, square and trine.

*) If you do not know yet your Ascendant you may find it very easy by using any other free astrology website or software that you can find on internet. For this calculation you need: day, month, year, location, hour and minutes of your birth. If you have possibility try to use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history.
