Because there were some major shifts in the final 48 hours of July, as you move into the new month there will be a chance to pause and readjust your focus as you enter what will be a very different second half of the year to the first. These changes have included a lot more importance on a balance between work and play and on your relationships. It began on 29th July, when eight days after the Sun not only left a playful and creative part of your chart but returned to your busy work sector to support Jupiter in his final weeks, Mars returned.
It has been two years since Mars was last in a playful and creative part of your chart and until leaving on 11th August, he will continue to not only fire up your romantic and creative passions and fighting spirit but will be ready to declare war on any attempts to make life all work and no play. That was made a little easier when on 30th July, Jupiter left your work sector, ending his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion, but handing the reins to the Sun and Mercury, who will keep the momentum going. However, without the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system to compete with, Mars’ mission is doable.
At the same time on 1st July, Jupiter is settling into his first full day in your relationship sector and into what will be his home until July 2027. This is the start of your biggest and most important year for all your relationships in over a decade and with Venus, the planet of love here to guide the way until she leaves on 10th July. This includes leading the way into a partnership with the three planets in your communication sector, two of which she has already formed a friendly aspect to, before connecting with the dwarf planet Eris there on 5th/6th July. These are planets that will be there to support Jupiter throughout the journey ahead.

You have not only reached a big month on both the romantic and relationship fronts, but with things still evolving and as you move into the new month, while you are still adjusting to some major developments in the final 48 hours of July. It began on 29th July, when eight days after the Sun left your romantic sector, something that on the July solstice will always take the solar spotlight off matters of the heart Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returned. This came just as having returned at the end of April to spend the next seven years in your romantic sector, was settling in for the long haul and as the dwarf planet Ceres was getting ready to move into her last full month.
As you move into the new month Mars has been here for less than 48 hours, so you will still be adjusting to his romantic passions and fighting spirit. With Mars not leaving until 11th August and Ceres not ending her last deep dive into your heart’s needs and priorities for another four years until 13th August, they will spend the whole of July here. If this doesn’t make this the most romantically charged month of 2026, it will be the most defining, with the Moon’s return from 11th July to 13th July as a New Moon, a chance to more fully embrace this.
In the meantime, you not only move into the new month with Venus, the planet of love in your relationship sector for nearly three weeks, but 1st July is Jupiter’s first full day here in over a decade and the start of a major relationship year. Venus’ early return means that when Jupiter returned on 30th July, you were ready for this and that includes having already clashed with both planets in Aquarius and formed a friendly aspect to the planets in your communication sector. From the start, this is a window on the planets that will be policing a balance between your own and your relationship needs and keeping the communication lines open throughout the 13 months that Jupiter is here. Meanwhile, in between Venus’ departure from your relationship sector on 10th July and the Sun’s return on 23rd July, the Moon will return with a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware from 15th July to 17th July.

To start with, on both sides of the financial fence it is business as usual, which means no planets in either of your two money houses, just the Moon’s monthly visits keeping things on track and the lunar nodes keeping things balanced and the financial year itself in neutral territory. There has been no planetary activity in either of your two money houses since the last planet left your income sector in April and none in your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have since last year. However, by the end of the month everything will have changed.
It begins on 10th July, when six weeks before the Sun is due to return to your financial sector later next month, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your financial situation and money matters Venus, the planet of money returns. This will begin the first planetary activity on this side of the financial fence since last year and before a more mundane or objective focus on money matters begins, she will return to spend nearly a month fuelling your financial confidence, updating your financial desires and expectations and working to turn those desires into reality.
You will get a better read on this when a week later, the Moon not only returns for its only visit to your financial sector while Venus is here, but the last before the lunar nodes leave your two money houses on 27th July. Until then and until leaving your income sector, the North Node will continue to provide a lucrative sense of direction, as well as helping to keep things balanced. It is earlier in the month and before Venus returns that the Moon will make its last visit to your income sector before the lunar nodes leave from 4th July to 6th July, something that can sharpen your nose for money, act as a trigger and put it in harmony with the Sun and Mercury in your work sector.
