The last week of July is full of tension, great opportunities, revelations and important clarifications. The Sun is moving through Leo and, within a few days, will form successive aspects with Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter, creating an exceptionally dynamic astrological backdrop.

At the same time, Saturn is retrograde in Aries, Venus is in opposition to Mars, and on 29 July there is a Full Moon in Aquarius. This is a week that may force us to re-evaluate relationships, plans, career choices and goals, whilst at the same time creating opportunities for significant new beginnings.

26 July – Saturn goes retrograde at 14°44′ of Aries

On 26 July, at 21:56, Saturn turns retrograde at 14°44′ of Aries.

A period of re-evaluation is beginning, focusing on decisions, responsibilities and goals that have already begun to take shape. Saturn does not necessarily require us to abandon our plans. However, it forces us to ascertain whether they are truly well-founded.

Delays, second thoughts or revisiting older cases can serve as corrective measures.

27 July – Sun opposite Pluto at 4°17′ Leo – Aquarius

On the morning of 27 July, the Sun at 4°17′ Leo is opposite retrograde Pluto at 4°17′ Aquarius.

This perspective brings to the fore issues of control, competition and power, as well as deeper truths that can no longer be ignored.

There may be conflicts over who is in control of a situation, but at the same time this creates an opportunity to radically change something that has run its course.

27 July – Sun trine Neptune at 4°18′ Leo – Aries

At 10:36, the Sun at 4°18′ Leo forms a trine with retrograde Neptune at 4°18′ Aries.

Intuition is heightened, creativity increases, and we can trust our instincts more.

This perspective aids artistic expression and spiritual exploration, as well as a better understanding of situations that cannot be explained by logic alone.

27 July – Sun sextile Uranus at 4°52′ Leo – Gemini

The Sun forms a sextile with Uranus at 4°52′ Leo and Gemini.

Unexpected news, new acquaintances, ideas and opportunities can turn things on their head.

New things come into our lives just when we might have started to feel that things were at a standstill. Changes can be positive, provided we are flexible enough to make the most of them.

29 July – Venus square Mars at 21°14′ Virgo – Gemini

At 09:09 on 29 July, Venus at 21°14′ Virgo forms a square with Mars at 21°14′ Gemini.

The romantic tension is rising noticeably.

This aspect creates a strong attraction and chemistry, but at the same time it can lead to jealousy, irritation, rivalry and differing needs within relationships.

Care should be taken to avoid impulsive reactions and decisions made on the spur of the moment.

29 July – Sun conjunct Jupiter at 6°24′ of Leo

At 14:17, the Sun conjuncts Jupiter at 6°24′ of Leo.

This is a particularly optimistic outlook, which boosts self-confidence, ambition and the desire for growth.

Opportunities may arise in our personal and professional lives, whilst there is a greater willingness to strive for more.

We simply need to avoid going to extremes and overestimating our abilities.

29 July – Full Moon in Aquarius

At 16:35 on 29 July, there will be a Full Moon in Aquarius, opposite the Sun in Leo.

This particular Full Moon may bring about climaxes, revelations and decisions that significantly shift the balance of power.

The conflict between our personal needs and the demands of others is becoming more acute.

Relationships, friendships, professional matters and personal plans can reach a point where a clear choice is now required.

Zodiac Predictions

ARIES

You’re heading into a week of significant developments in the areas of love, creativity and personal goals. You might find yourself taking a keen interest in someone new, or a creative project might start to gain much more momentum.

At the same time, however, you are re-evaluating your personal decisions and responsibilities. You may feel that you need to slow down a little to make sure that the choices you make truly align with the future you want to create.

The Full Moon brings clarity to friendships, groups and future goals. Some people may prove to be valuable allies, whilst others may drift away because you are no longer heading in the same direction.

You need to stay calmer in your day-to-day life. Discussions, new information and changes to your plans can cause frustration, so try to avoid reacting impulsively.

TAURUS

This week’s developments are drawing your attention strongly towards home, family and your career.

A change in your living situation, a family matter or a career development may require immediate decisions. The Full Moon suggests that something at work is reaching a climax and you may need to decide which direction you want to take.

At the same time, you need more time to put the past behind you and distance yourself from situations that are draining you.

In your love life, there is strong chemistry, but romance and finances may become entangled. Avoid excesses, jealousy and spending that is driven more by impulse than by genuine need.

TWINS

This week brings a particularly high level of activity in terms of communication, agreements and new ideas.

A piece of information, a suggestion or a conversation can lead you to a completely different perspective on your future.

The Full Moon may bring to a close a matter relating to travel, studies, foreign affairs, legal proceedings or a major project that has been in the works for some time.

At the same time, you’re re-evaluating your friendships and future goals. It’s becoming clearer which people can truly move forward with you.

In your personal relationships, there is a great deal of tension and strong romantic chemistry. However, with Mars in your sign, you need to be careful of acting on impulse and the tendency to react before thinking.

CANCER

Financial and professional matters are the main focus.

A new source of income, a business idea or an opportunity that helps you achieve greater financial security may arise.

The Full Moon brings clarity regarding shared finances, debts, financial obligations, financial agreements and money you share with others.

At the same time, you’re re-evaluating your career path. You may need to adjust your plans, take on more responsibilities or realise that a particular career path no longer matches your ambitions.

Also, be mindful of burnout and behind-the-scenes discussions. You don’t need to reply to everything straight away.

LEO

You are at the centre of events.

The conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter in your sign boosts your self-confidence, raises your profile and creates opportunities for you to make a significant new start.

You might receive a professional or personal offer that excites you, or you might decide that the time has come to aim for something much bigger.

The Full Moon opposite you brings relationships and partnerships to a head. A relationship may develop, take on a new form, or require a clear-cut ending.

At the same time, you are re-evaluating plans relating to your studies, travel or life abroad, whilst you need to be careful with expenses linked to social activities or future goals.

PARTY

This week is more about working behind the scenes and calls on you to act strategically.

You may be working on an important project without yet being ready to present it, or you may be gathering information to help you plan your next step.

The Full Moon brings changes to your work and daily life. A project may be completed, your schedule may change, or you may need to give up a lifestyle that is wearing you out.

Venus in your sign boosts your charm and may bring positive developments in your relationships, but the tension with Mars creates the potential for a clash between your personal and professional needs.

At the same time, shared financial and emotional commitments require greater attention and organisation.

LIBRA

Your social life and relationships are taking on particular importance.

Friends, groups and new acquaintances can open doors for you and help you make progress towards an important goal.

The Full Moon brings a romantic or creative situation to a head. A new acquaintance may take on greater significance, or you may realise that you need to change the way you approach a relationship.

At the same time, however, an important relationship or partnership is going through a phase of reassessment. Boundaries, commitments and responsibilities need to be clarified further.

Travel, studies or future plans may also need to be adjusted, whilst behind-the-scenes information may raise some temporary questions.

SCORPIO

Your professional life is taking centre stage, and a significant opportunity for advancement or greater visibility may arise.

However, the Full Moon also draws your attention to home and family. There may be a move, a change to your living space, or a family decision that affects your career path.

You therefore need to strike a balance between your personal and professional commitments.

Day-to-day life also calls for better organisation, as old unresolved issues may resurface.

In your personal relationships, there is a chance of a close encounter through friends or your social circle, but you need to pay particular attention to financial and emotional boundaries.

SAGITTARIUS

New opportunities are opening up for you.

Travel, studies, time abroad and plans that can broaden your horizons are particularly favoured.

The Full Moon brings an important discussion, agreement or piece of news, and may lead you to make a crucial decision.

At the same time, you are re-evaluating a romantic situation or a creative project that needs more time to develop.

Relationships and partnerships are in a state of flux, but there is a risk of competition or conflict. A very interesting opportunity may arise in your professional life, provided you maintain a good balance.

SQUIRREL

This week calls on you to sort out your financial and family affairs.

Joint financial arrangements, agreements, loans or obligations to third parties may require important decisions to be taken.

The Full Moon sheds light on your personal finances and may bring a payment, an expense or a change in your income.

At the same time, matters relating to home and family need to be reassessed. A move, a property or a family responsibility may require a different approach.

Everyday life is becoming more demanding, and it’s important to avoid taking on too much. Travel plans and commitments may also require last-minute changes.

HYDROCHOS

This is one of the most important weeks of the season for you.

The Full Moon in your sign brings personal decisions and moments of clarity. You may realise that a situation can no longer continue in the same way.

Relationships and partnerships are on your mind and require you to strike a balance between your own needs and those of others.

An important relationship may develop, take on a different form, or come full circle.

At the same time, you need to review agreements, discussions and decisions you made earlier.

In matters of the heart, there is very strong chemistry, but also a risk of jealousy or rivalry. You should also avoid taking impulsive financial risks.

PISCES

Your work and daily life are becoming more dynamic, and a new career opportunity or a project that interests you more may come up.

The Full Moon, however, mainly works behind the scenes and may reveal information or situations that you were previously unaware of.

This is a time when you need to listen more to your intuition and also protect your energy.

At the same time, your finances need a thorough review. Your income, expenses and the value you place on your work are all being reassessed.

In relationships, there is a lot of excitement and great chemistry, but issues relating to home or family may cause tension. Minor incidents may mask deeper disagreements that need to be discussed.
