    The Sun is in Cancer but does not manage to break through on July 6. A feeling of frustration prevails on both the individual and collective levels, yet the Sun supports communication and encourages creative exchanges on the 13th, provided emotions do not dominate discussions. Starting on the 22nd, it enters Leo, offering the opportunity to express our ideals, welcome novelty and avoid any power struggle with others on July 27. The month ends under favorable influences if everyone brings out the best in themselves. Light is reborn on July 29.

    Mercury begins a retrograde phase on June 29 and slows exchanges, which temporarily remain sluggish. Discussions resume more smoothly from July 23, when Mercury returns to direct motion. This configuration does not prevent broad communication on July 13, even if waiting remains necessary until July 24 for the flow to restore properly and allow projects to move forward.

    Venus ends its transit in Leo on the 9th, then moves into Virgo, a sign that tempers impulses and subjects emotional and creative drives to rational control and sometimes critical thinking. On the 13th, emotional and relational tensions may surface. The temptation to worsen conflicts becomes stronger at this time. The atmosphere becomes calm again on the 24th, with everyone staying attentive to others. Anger and passionate excesses should be avoided on the 29th so situations do not deteriorate.

    Mars in Gemini supports quick decisions, for better or worse, with political or social disruptions on the 4th. A step back is recommended the following day, the 5th, so actions serve a collective vision and support social transformation. Initiatives aim for the long term and seek to remain constructive on the 19th under the influence of reason.

    Jupiter has been transiting Leo since June 30 and stimulates the desire to express talents, create and value personal initiatives. The giant planet strengthens the will to realize an ideal on July 20 and 21. Whether in love, business or social matters, balance must be found between the wish to expand perspectives and the risk of exceeding limits or entering conflict with what lies beyond human control.

    Saturn slows Aries’ impulsiveness and favors new beginnings that require time before taking shape, drawing a lasting path. In July, the austere planet first opposes desires, generating a feeling of frustration for some on the 6th. Saturn nevertheless offers good guidance and channels initiatives so they become constructive on the 19th. From the 26th onward, Saturn enters retrograde motion. It is time to review what has been built since the start of the year and sort what still holds value.

    Uranus, which entered Gemini on April 26, encourages transition from one state to another, from one environment to another. It is no longer time to retreat or hesitate, but to adopt different ways of functioning that sometimes shake habits. In July, Uranus triggers a rapid shift on the 4th where everything accelerates. Emotions experience rather chaotic turbulence on the 13th. Staying calm is recommended to avoid excess. The free spirit of the zodiac increases vibrations and encourages exploration of new directions, pushing boundaries and revealing the early signs of a better world on the 15th, 18th, 21st and 27th.

    Neptune returned to Aries since January 26 and gives new momentum to a world lacking vision. New ideals emerge and inspire societies, with attention paid to avoiding absolute truths. In July, Neptune invites movement toward greater humanism and elevation of debates on the 15th, 20th and 25th, while avoiding the temptation to force passage even if action seems to serve the common good.

    Pluto in Aquarius opens multiple possibilities. The best and the worst coexist with the rise of technologies and artificial intelligence that contribute to improving daily life, especially in the medical field, while exposing society to excessive virtualisation that distances individuals from personal identity. Creations must remain controlled so they serve worthy goals. In July, Pluto encourages new ideas and breaking with the past on the 18th. A tendency should be watched around the 20th and 27th when a choice arises between limitless struggle or collective elevation of consciousness.

    Astrology: What You Need to Know

    As the Moon moves at full speed in the zodiac (it travels approximately one sign in two days), we can't detail its evolution in our astral press review! However, its influence can activate sensitive points in the map of our sky... If you wish to know the Moon's position day by day, consult the ephemerides*, which will inform you about the daily position of the planets.

    GMT (Greenwich time meridian): universal time to which you have to add (currently) for France one hour in winter and two hours in summer to determine at what exact moment the planet enters a new sign, crosses another planet, etc...

    The planets in retrograde: The apparent movement of a planet that gives the impression that the planet stops and then starts again. This phenomenon actually results from the difference between the speed of revolution of the planet and Earth around the Sun. In astrology, a retrograde represents a force that works against the current. Generally, it corresponds to the internalization of energy. Sometimes, it means restraining evolution and recommends that the individual ask themselves about the work to be done to free themselves from the debts of the past or to exploit their potential more consciously!

    Domicile of a planet: The sign in which a planet evolves in affinity (for example, Venus in Taurus). The planet then expresses its potential without constraint, freely and creatively...
