Some uncertainty
The Sun transits in trine in the fifth field in Leo , where it meets the New Moon on July 24th. Mercury is also still transiting in Leo , in fact it is in full retrograde phase and resumes direct motion on August 11th. Venus continues its sextile in Gemini until July 31st, after which it moves into square in the fourth field in Cancer . Your Mars however, begins an opposition in the seventh field in Libra on August 6th. As for the slower planets, the first decan is involved in the conjunct of Saturn and Neptune , the sextile of Uranus in Gemini and that of Pluto in Aquarius ; meanwhile, the square of Jupiter in Cancer is beginning to affect the second decan. Overall, you have good support, even if the second part of the astrological month presents some uncertainty. Some days will require patience: for example, July 23, 29, 30, and 31, August 6, 7, 12, 13, and 19. The best days will be July 25 and 26, August 3, 4, 8, 9, 17, 18, 21, and 22.
Too much desire to act
As we've seen, the first part of the month is still well supported by the harmonious transits of Venus and Mercury . Then, on July 31st and August 6th, respectively, Venus and Mars move into dissonance; Mercury remains supportive, but on August 11th, it begins its retrograde motion... and in short, the energy that previously flowed fluidly and lively begins to slow down, colliding with unexpected events, obstacles, and various complications. Those born in the first and second decans will likely feel this change more acutely and unpleasantly, but overall, it will be a phase that requires tolerance and adaptation, rather than concrete commitment. Let's say that the greatest challenge will be patience, keeping discontent, irritability, anxiety, and emotional (and impulsive) reactions under control. On the other hand, the square of Venus and Jupiter can weigh on your confidence, discourage you, and signal financial or family worries, just when you'd like to enjoy the summer with lightheartedness and optimism. Meanwhile, the opposition of your Mars hints at a sense of operational frustration, as if you're unable to act effectively or, worse, are acting in the wrong way or at the wrong time. For this reason, too, it's important to remain calm, avoid hasty decisions, and postpone direct interventions. Restrain (as much as possible) the urge to say or act, because you might say too much or do harm, perhaps regretting it soon afterward. Treat yourself to a vacation! And I mean that in every sense...
Complicated August 15th
For those on vacation, or who can still take advantage of weekends, evenings, and free time, the last ten days of July (extending into early August) are certainly more enjoyable. You can count on Venus 's sextile , as well as Mercury 's still-direct trine , which will favor leisure activities, travel or picnics, and stimulating social and recreational experiences. The following weeks could present some setbacks, occasional relationship issues, perhaps disagreements with your vacation companions, or setbacks in planning or travel. Nothing too serious, but enough to irritate you... and make you vent to those close to you. If there are issues to address, it would be best to take advantage of the first part of the astrological month; and this also applies to those who work. Mercury in the fifth field is a good ally, favoring those who work in the tourism, entertainment, fashion sectors, and in activities related to entertainment and typical summer fun. With the start of retrograde motion on August 11th, it could signal the need to reassess choices, operational approaches, collaborative dynamics, and financial balances... after all, the period around mid-August is always a bit challenging. Regarding your love life, I'm confident July will be calmer, while August will require a great deal of patience to manage unexpected events and occasional annoyances. Any potential challenges seem to be primarily domestic, as well as family or romantic relationships, but Mercury will also come to your aid here, encouraging sincere dialogue and effective sharing, even on a practical level. It's better to unite than to squander your strengths in arguments!
First decade
Jupiter ends its square on July 24th, but from July 31st to August 8th, Venus will take its place, while Mars will be in opposition from August 6th to 22nd. In short, it's a period of difficulty, especially in family or romantic relationships. Mercury 's trine from July 30th to August 21st helps you reflect, understand, and communicate with greater serenity.
Second decade
Jupiter 's dissonance begins on July 24th, while Venus 's will affect you from August 8th to 17th. You may experience problems related to your home, face some extra expenses, or have unpleasant disagreements with family members or your partner. Try to remain open to discussion; after all, it's summer, and it's really not worth wasting energy arguing...
Third decade
The ongoing transits don't directly affect you this astrological month. Only Venus continues to offer you its lively sextile until July 31st. Take advantage of this opportunity to impress your partner, friends, or even a new acquaintance if you're single! You can count on your brilliant, charming, and convincing manners. And enjoy a spontaneous (and well-deserved) lightheartedness.
