July will be an action packed month, especially if you are a fire sign. July sees the beginning of a strong Mars transit, it enters Leo on June 30, where it will transit till August 18.
The month starts with full moon in Purva Ashada in Sagittarius on July 3. This is an excellent moon cycle with the close aspect of Jupiter on its own house, also aspected by Mercury. Excellent time for travel, for those that are studying or learning a new subject too.
On July 6 Venus joins Mars in Leo for a month long transit. Venus moves retrograde and returns to Cancer on Aug 7th but for July we have Venus and Mars in Leo aspected by Saturn. Mars is strong in Leo and so is Saturn in Aquarius but now Mars will dominate the scene because Saturn is currently retrograde. Its an excellent transit for creative endeavours, taking time for pursuing your passions and accomplishing a lot. Relationships can get their zeal back and you may get the confidence to go after what you desire.
As soon as Venus moves to Leo, Mercury moves to Cancer, where communications can get muddled. With all planets aspecting Leo, it will be a dramatic month. See where Leo falls for you to see where you can experience big dramatic shifts in life.
Sun makes it monthly transit into Cancer on Jul 17 – here the Sun is not entirely comfortable but it travels alone with no aspects from any planet. As soon as the Sun moves we have a new moon cycle in Cancer in Punarvasu. This is another gentle moon cycle with no malefic aspects.
