Within moments of stepping into July and into the second half of the year, there will be a noticeable shift from the first half. Yet this isn't down to anything that might occur in the early hours of the new month but instead to what occurred during the final 48 hours of last month. It began on 29th June, when after a six week war on income roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, Mars left your income sector and returned to your communication sector, where a new war on communication roadblocks and barriers is being waged. Not leaving until 11th August, Mars is here for the whole of July.
Meanwhile, the biggest shift and the most significant event of the year took place in the very final hours of June and is something you are still getting a feel for when you move into the new month. It was on 30th June that Jupiter left your home and family sector, where for the last 12 months this has put a huge amount of focus on things close to home. With the Sun here until 23rd July and Mercury having turned retrograde here on 30th June, this will continue to be the case. However, not to the same overarching degree and with Jupiter, the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system having moved on.
Instead, on 1st July Jupiter is settling into his first full day in a playful and creative part of your chart and of a big year for matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative that will continue through to July 2027. With Venus here until 10th July, with the planet of love's input and with the laws of attraction and the element of luck coming together here for the first time in over a decade. The Sun's return on 23rd July will put even more light on this, while this will see Venus move on to begin the first planetary activity on the job front this year, with her return to your work sector on 10th July able to piggyback off the momentum from the Full Moon in your career sector at the end of last month.
