The week of 13 to 19 July is one of the most significant of this summer. Attention turns to Cancer, where the Sun meets retrograde Mercury and, a few hours later, the New Moon takes place, ushering in a new cycle of developments. At the same time, Venus in Virgo clashes with Uranus, bringing sudden upheavals in relationships, finances and partnerships, whilst Uranus’s harmonious connections with Neptune and Pluto suggest that the changes beginning now have potential and can lead to substantial progress. The week concludes with the Mars–Saturn sextile, an aspect that helps us organise our actions, make well-considered decisions and take steady steps towards our goals.
The week’s key events
13 July – The Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury in Cancer (20°42’)
A phase that draws attention to the past. Discussions resurface, unresolved issues demand a solution, whilst many will reconsider decisions they once regarded as final. It is the ideal time for reassessment, rather than for hasty conclusions.
13 July – Venus in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini (4°18’)
The most unpredictable aspect of the week. Sudden encounters, relationship upheavals, financial changes or unexpected developments in partnerships could turn everything on its head within a matter of hours. Anything that isn’t stable is being put to the test.
14 July – New Moon in Cancer conjunct retrograde Mercury (21°)
A new cycle is beginning, but before we move forward, we need to tie up loose ends from the past. The New Moon favours new beginnings based on experience rather than impulse.
15 July – Uranus in Gemini forms a sextile with retrograde Neptune in Aries (4°23’)
Inspiration meets innovation. Creative ideas, new technologies, different ways of thinking and original solutions can open up avenues that, until yesterday, seemed impossible.
18 July – Uranus in Gemini forms a trine with retrograde Pluto in Aquarius (4°29’)
One of the most significant aspects of the year. It favours profound changes, transformation, liberation from constraints and the creation of lasting new prospects.
19 July – Mars in Gemini forms a sextile with Saturn in Aries (14°42’)
Strategic action. This aspect fosters discipline, resilience and determination. Those who proceed in an organised manner will be able to make significant progress without unnecessary conflict.
Aries
This week, your attention will turn to family matters, home-related issues and people from your past who are reappearing to bring things full circle. The New Moon may signal a fresh start in your personal life, but you’ll first need to sort out any loose ends. Venus and Uranus may bring sudden news, travel or an unexpected conversation. Towards the end of the week, you’ll feel more confident about making practical decisions.
Taurus
Communications, agreements and important discussions take centre stage. Some news may take you by surprise, particularly regarding financial matters or a collaboration. The New Moon ushers in a new cycle of contacts and acquaintances, whilst Uranus’s harmonious aspects encourage you to make the most of a talent that could bring you financial gain in the future. The end of the week helps you to organise your next steps more effectively.
Gemini
With Uranus and Mars in your sign, you’re one of this week’s key players. Things are moving fast, and you may need to change your plans at a moment’s notice. The New Moon draws your attention to your finances and may herald a new source of income or a different way of managing your money. The Mars–Saturn sextile helps you turn your ideas into action.
Cancer
This week is all yours. The Sun, retrograde Mercury and the New Moon are all taking place in your sign, heralding a period of personal renewal. People or situations from the past are likely to resurface, prompting you to make a definitive decision. The changes that begin now will be of great significance for the coming months. Just avoid making impulsive moves until the situation becomes completely clear.
Leo
You’re entering a more introspective phase where a lot is happening behind the scenes. Your intuition is particularly strong, and you may pick up on information that had previously escaped your notice. The New Moon is urging you to bring one cycle to a definitive close before beginning the next. The last few days of the week will help you organise a plan that you can present later with greater success.
Virgo
Venus in your sign makes you particularly charming, but the square with Uranus suggests that nothing is going as you expected. A new acquaintance, a relationship or a professional partnership may suddenly take a different turn. The New Moon brings new people into your life and opens up new prospects through groups, friends or collective activities.
Libra
Your career and goals are taking centre stage. The New Moon may bring a fresh start in your career or an important offer, but you’ll need to consider your previous options before moving forward. The Venus–Uranus square may suddenly disrupt your plans, but ultimately events will work in your favour.
Scorpio
This week opens up new horizons. A trip, a course or an important decision about the future may take centre stage. The New Moon encourages you to broaden your horizons, whilst Uranus’s harmonious aspects suggest that the changes beginning now could prove particularly beneficial in the long term.
Sagittarius
Financial commitments, shared financial arrangements or deeper emotional relationships require your attention. Something that had been at a standstill is beginning to change. The New Moon gives you the chance to leave a burden behind, whilst the end of the week favours important agreements and long-term decisions.
Capricorn
Your relationships are taking centre stage. The New Moon may herald a new partnership or a new chapter in your personal life. Conversely, relationships that lack a solid foundation may be put to the test. The Mars–Saturn sextile helps you to set boundaries and make mature decisions.
Aquarius
Your daily routine, work and commitments are shifting. A new career opportunity may arise, or you may need to reorganise your schedule. The harmonious aspects between Pluto and Uranus suggest that these changes are part of a wider personal transformation.
Pisces
Creativity, love and joy are back in the spotlight. The New Moon marks the start of a new cycle in matters of the heart or in a creative project you wish to develop. Uranus’s aspects favour original ideas and pleasant surprises, whilst the end of the week helps you to consolidate whatever you’re starting now.
