July begins in a fast-forward mode when Mercury in Gemini turns direct on July 1. Now there is more energy available for making progress with long-term goals and plans.  During the first half of this year, many of the faster-moving planets (such as Venus and Mars) have been in retrograde cycles, which has caused us to experience many delays, unexpected changes or a lack of momentum.  In mid-month Saturn turns direct, while the three outer planets turn retrograde.  This change may result in our feeling less encumbered and freer to move forward with our goals. In addition, Jupiter moves into Leo, which expands our urge towards leadership, self-expression and recreation.

July is highlighted by intense planetary activity, followed by a calmer period that extends from late July into August.  Both Uranus and Mercury turn retrograde in fire signs within two days of each other. This is followed by active Mars transits setting off the Uranus/Pluto square that occurred in June. Both the new and full moons also strengthen these aspects, which could bring unexpected and volatile changes during these periods.
