Monthly Transits – July 2026

“An expansive re-awakening”

July begins under a Mercury-retrograde as Mars in Gemini joins Uranus and opportunistically connects with both Neptune and Pluto. Sudden, surprising transformative events are a key signature of this first week. All four outer planets will continuously align with each other this month, prompting significant, collective re-awakenings as Jupiter begins its year-long journey through the sign of the lion.

Mid-month, the Cancer New Moon occurs on the heels of the Mercury cazimi , and it reminds us to re-center our expectations and practice patience.

Neptune and Saturn both station retrograde in Aries in July, re-emphasizing the practical actions that will be necessary for realizing our dreams. Mercury ends its retrograde in the last week of July which culminates in an expansive and collective-transforming Aquarius Full Moon nearly conjunct the Pluto/Jupiter opposition.
