While there was a lot of movement in the final 48 hours of June, it was like players on a stage rushing to get into position and find their mark before the curtain lifts and the show can begin. In that case, showtime is 1st July, which is the first full day of a new month, of the second half of 2026 and the start of one of your most exciting years in over a decade. It was on 30th June and in the closing hours of June that Jupiter left your financial sector, just as Mercury’s retrograde turn locked him into position and ensured you would have access to his smart head for money right through to when he leaves on 11th August.
By then Mercury, who will normally move through in just 14 to 15 days, will have been here for over two months, including the final weeks of Jupiter’s 12 month quest for financial growth and expansion, throughout the Sun’s month long visit that will end on 23rd July and in time to prepare for Mars’ return next month. Meanwhile, 1st July is Jupiter’s first full day in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and this will have huge implications. Jupiter isn’t just the planet of luck and expansion and as the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system, wherever he leans, everything else will follow.
As well as that, Jupiter is not just your ruling planet, but he is the ruler of your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, making this the area of your chart where he is most at home. At the same time, from the start and right through to when he leaves in July 2027, Jupiter will have the support of the three planets in a playful and creative part of your chart that are here for the long haul. By the time you move into the new month Jupiter has been here for less than 24 hours, but this is the start of a major powering up of the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence that will impact the rest of this year and the first half of next year.

While July will not only be an active month on the romantic and relationship fronts, with planets in your romantic sector until 2044 and Uranus having returned at the end of April to spend the next seven years in your relationship sector, that will continue to be the case for years to come. However, while on the relationship front things are still evolving, on the romantic front things are not only settling down, but for the first time this year, you are down to the three core planets that will define the rest of the year and beyond and by the end of the month all three will be in retrograde motion, with their focus on the past.
It will begin on 7th July, when for the first time since Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returned to spend the next 13 years in your relationship sector, turns retrograde. This will be followed by Saturn, who is here until 2028, on 23rd July and on 27th July, the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior planet of the cosmos, who has been here for over nine decades and won’t leave until 2044, will turn retrograde. While things are stable and with all three planets here having to come to a standstill in order to turn retrograde, there won’t be a lot of change, they are all benefiting from having Venus, the planet of love in an adventurous part of your chart until 10th July and Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion in his first full month here.
Throughout the month and continuing when the Sun returns to an adventurous part of your chart on 23rd July, a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia will deepen over the course of the month. This will be especially so when the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 7th July to 9th July. Meanwhile, while Uranus is settled into your relationship sector for the long haul, Mars is spending his first, last and only full month there and the dwarf planet Ceres will wrap up her last deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities for another four years next month. You will get a better read on this and on their partnership with the planets in your communication sector, when the Moon moves through your relationship sector from 11th July to 13th July.

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of July in your financial sector, the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time of year. However, during the early days of the month you will be in a period of adjustment or transition with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion having just left on 30th June and as you move into the new month, Mercury settling into his first full day in retrograde motion here. The Sun will always return to your financial sector on the June solstice, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have.
This year, it was to find Jupiter in the final days of a 12 month quest for financial growth and expansion, something that will have an impact for months if not years to come. As you move into the new month, you are not only adjusting to having Jupiter gone and the focus now more on the Sun’s annual financial housekeeping, but the Moon is still in your income sector after a Full Moon on 30th June, the same day that Jupiter left your financial sector and Mercury turned direct. While his has the potential to get the month off to a lucrative start, it might not be until the Moon leaves on 2nd July that you can start to untangle it all.
With no planets in your income sector until later in the year, the Moon will be pushing hard against a pivotal point in the year for money matters to have its influence heard, potentially creating some financial tension, but with it, the potential for a breakthrough on both sides of the financial fence. By the time the Moon comes full circle and returns to your income sector again from 27th July to 29th July, the Sun and Jupiter will be gone from your financial sector and Venus, the planet of money will be in your work sector and on a mission to attract both job potential and the money. In between, until the Sun leaves your financial sector on 23rd July, the solar spotlight will be on money matters, while Mercury and his smart head for money will allow you to keep your head in the game all month.
