Mercury had moved into Cancer on June 29 and will stay until July 20 when it enters Leo. Mercury in Cancer is not entirely comfortable but can be a helpful transit for dealing with domestic matters. It’s a time when working from home can be a good option.
Mercury in Leo from July 20 is great for networking, business matters, contemplating and putting into actions serious goals – with Saturn’s aspect you can be very centered and focused now. It’s a good time to share your knowledge with others.
New Moon in Gemini on July 5th
We have a new moon in gemini in the nakshatra of Punarvasu on July 5th. See what Gemini represents in your chart to see where you can experience a new beginning, a restart, a reconnect with someone. You are going back to something you started earlier – it could be a renewal of sorts as well now. Venus is again close by so we know this could be related to relationships or money matters. There are no malefic aspects to this new moon cycle and thus it can bring a friendly time where you connect with others. Its also great for socialising, starting a new endeavour, new initiatives now can pay off too.

Venus is finally out of deep combustion and heading into Cancer.

Meeting with family, home cooked meals, doing any nurturing activities are good at this time. With so many benefics in Cancer, it’s a feel good first half of the month.
Mars transits Aries till July 12th
Mars continues its powerful transit in Aries till July 12. Mars moves into Taurus on July 12 and stays till Aug 26. Because we are talking about Taurus, Mars here will compel you into thinking about your finances, it can bring some disputes over money – especially with family. Relationships can also undergo some lasting changes.
But you will be happy with the results irrespective of the changes now as we have Mars friend Jupiter also in Taurus providing good advice and guidance to mitigate any issues that pop up now. Its a good time to consider changing the foods that you eat, you can make some positive changes here. If you wanted to start a new direction, esp where money and investments are involved, this is a good transit for it.
Sun moves into Cancer from July 16th till August 16th
On Jul 16th, Sun makes its monthly move now into Cancer till Aug 16th. After a few months of easy going transits for the Sun, now it will receive Rahu’s aspect. Till the end of the month, Sun travels in Cancer with two benefics. The Sun here starts its journey going south and slowly will reach its debilitation state.
Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21st
There is a full moon in Cap on July 21st in Uttarashadha. This is also Guru Purnima – a time when we say thanks to all our Gurus, guides that have come into our lives. This moon cycle receives two benefic aspects, one from Venus and one from Jupiter.
Its an excellent time for exploring new career opportunities, organising your calendar, and making important contacts. Both moon cycles this month get aspected by benefics and don’t receive any malefic influence. This is similar to last month and is a beneficial cycle. All in all July is a good month.
