Progressive recovery
At the beginning of the astrological month, the sky is still a bit challenging but is gradually recovering: Venus is in opposition in the seventh field in Virgo until August 6th, while Mars is in square in the fourth field in Gemini until the 11th, after which it moves into trine in the fifth field in Cancer . Mercury on the other hand, has been in Cancer since the beginning of June and resumes direct motion on July 23rd, then continues its trine until August 9th. Among the slow-moving planets, only Uranus in Gemini is dissonant in the first decan. A few nervous days are therefore possible, in particular you will need to be patient on July 24th and 25th, August 2nd, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, and 20th. The calmest and most productive days will be July 22nd, 23rd, and 28th, August 1st, 6th, 10th, and 19th.
What really matters
With Venus in opposition from July 9th to August 6th and especially Mars in square from June 28th to August 11th, recent times have been tiring, stressful, and perhaps particularly challenging. While these transits will still be noticeable in the first part of the astrological month, they will be accompanied by Mercury 's trine until August 9th, which will be more effective with its return to direct motion. It's also true that during its retrograde motion (from June 30th to July 23rd), it allowed you to reflect, to process your experiences and feelings, not so much to avoid their burden as to understand their meaning and decipher their message. Moreover, when faced with the difficulties we all encounter—personal, relational, practical—we tend to seek explanations in dissonant transits, but we don't recognize the same value or power in harmonious transits, as if it were easier to find excuses than to exploit resources and opportunities! It happens often, and to most astrology users... but it's a shame, because it leads us to waste our energy in streams of discontent and self-pity, waiting for things to improve on their own, when we could already be starting to change them. So: perhaps this latest transit of Mercury , more lucid or at least more objective, could help you identify what truly matters to you, while the subsequent trine of Mars will help you transform thoughts into behaviors, decisions, and actions.
Simple patience
Despite the summer months, Mercury also seems to support your work with its transits: first in trine in the creative fifth field , then equally effective and generous in the sixth house together with Jupiter ! On the other hand, it's likely that many of you will be working at least for a while, even before or after any holidays, not to mention those who work in the recreational or hospitality sectors and are therefore fully active. In any case, you will be motivated, proactive, and even more collaborative, and it's possible that you could achieve interesting results financially, while still receiving approval and satisfaction. Even young people looking for work could find seasonal or part-time jobs and gain some useful experience. Until August 11th, Mars in dissonance signals some tension, especially at home, in family or romantic relationships. Planning your vacation may take time, while you're still busy with work-related responsibilities; Or there will be disagreements over your choice of vacation spot or company, setbacks to manage, and various annoyances. Nothing too serious, but nothing that can't be addressed with simple patience and willingness. So try to curb occasional critical or argumentative instincts, respecting the needs and desires of others, and perhaps even proposing some solutions or necessary compromises yourself. The weeks around mid-August promise to be decidedly more peaceful and fulfilling. Perfect for relaxation, leisure, and even some original and engaging initiatives!
First decade
Mars ended its square on July 12th, but Uranus remains to bother you after a few weeks of tension. You may simply be tired, and in that case, I reiterate the opportunity to treat yourself to some relaxation. But if there are issues still weighing on your mood, then talk to someone about them... and listen, whether they're explanations or advice.
Second decade
Mars and Venus remain dissonant with your Sun until July 27th and 28th, respectively, while Mercury continues its trine until August 1st. The slower planets won't affect you, so this will be a period of recovery, without too many ups and downs but with a more serene atmosphere as the days go by. Make an effort to reconnect with your loved ones, too.
Third decade
Mars 's square will be a bit disruptive between July 27th and August 11th. Venus will also be in opposition from July 28th to August 6th, while Mercury 's trine will affect you from August 1st to 9th. If you have work emergencies, setbacks at home, or during travel, try not to react impulsively but to remain adaptable. And don't deprive yourself of the help of those who are willing to give it.
