Progressive relaxation
At the beginning of the astrological month, Mars is still in your sign and will remain in conjunct until August 6th. Venus , on the other hand, is dissonant in Gemini until July 31st, after which it moves into a harmonious sextile in the eleventh field in Cancer . Among the slower-moving planets, Jupiter is also in Cancer and begins to affect the second decan on July 24th, while Uranus in Gemini is in square at the first degrees. Overall, it is a period of relaxation , perhaps still a little demanding in the first few weeks but gradually becoming more peaceful… as is right in the middle of summer! In particular, there will be effective and satisfying days, such as July 23rd, 24th, and 27th, and August 2nd, 7th, 15th, 16th, 19th, and 20th. Some more tiring moments are possible on July 28th, and August 3rd, 4th, 5th, 10th, 17th, and 18th.
Mars is leaving
The conjunct of Mars (which began on June 17th) has accompanied a recent phase of increased activity, of practical, concrete commitments, demanding in their intensity, frequency, and persistence. It has also given you remarkable psychophysical energy, as you have responded effectively to various demands. But now that Mars leaves your sign (on August 6th), it's normal to feel a decrease in energy, a bit of fatigue, and, in short, a desire to slow down: you need it... and you have every right to, in the middle of summer! In the first part of the astrological month, there may still be some tasks to manage, a final effort to take on certain domestic or work-related matters that are still pressing, but the situation is gradually easing. It's no coincidence that already on July 31st, Venus joins Jupiter in harmonious sextile , shifting the focus from duty to pleasure, from individual responsibilities to relational sharing, from the urgency to act to the satisfaction of successful actions. Mercury itself, your guiding planet, with its secluded position in the twelfth field (and retrograde until August 11th), suggests reducing your rational activity, the burden of constant thoughts tied to things to do, to say, to deal with... and even to understand. This is a period that can favor regenerative reflections or processes, but above all, it helps (empowers!) you to restore the order you so cherish. In your mind and in your heart.
Spirit of adaptation
July has been a tiring, at times nervous month, and it likely will be so for the rest of your life. Those of you currently working may have to deal with typical emergencies before the holidays, perhaps with a more hectic schedule due to shifts, or because there's something to finish, deliver, plan, or decide. This is all fairly normal during this time, but domestic setbacks or other family needs cannot be ruled out. Thus, your relationship may be somewhat neglected, or you may tend to vent inappropriately with your partner, perhaps reacting poorly to their criticisms or complaints, or appearing irritable, brusque, or argumentative. This is true even if you're already on vacation, perhaps due to occasional unexpected events, disappointed expectations, or various annoyances. But in every relational context—in the city, at work, or on vacation, it makes little difference—a tolerant, adaptable attitude would be preferable and definitely more helpful, minimizing wasted energy and helping you give and achieve your best. It will be easier in August, with Venus splendidly paired with Jupiter . Especially the central weeks of the month, before and after mid-August, favor the recovery and revitalization of every relationship, from collaborations to friendships, from romantic ties to conquests for singles! New acquaintances or new projects will be stimulating for the future and regenerating already in the present. But a well-deserved rest is also welcome.
First decade
Although Uranus begins its dissonance in the first degrees and Jupiter ends its sextile as early as July 24th, Venus provides excellent support from July 31st to August 8th, helping you regain personal serenity and relationship harmony. It's a perfect time for vacations, recreation, meeting new people, and spending time with loved ones. Even for improving your look!
Second decade
From August 8th to 17th, Venus joins Jupiter in sextile in the eleventh field . These will be fulfilling and pleasant days, with a satisfying social atmosphere. Relationships will draw new life from shared projects, and singles could meet new people and make new connections! Take advantage of this opportunity to take better care of your body, both in terms of health and aesthetics.
Third decade
Venus is in square until July 31st, Mars is in conjunct from July 21st to August 6th. You may still be a bit busy at work or with other commitments, which could expose you to some moodiness, especially in your relationships with your partner or family. Don't neglect relaxation; make sure you have some free time to spend with friends or in solitude, but whatever you choose, you can find peace and quiet.
