As you enter July, you have just experienced the 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn (8°) on June 29, which may have clarified your thinking on an important topic. Something is coming to a critical stage now, and the matter appears to be dearly important to you. Your focus might be on a person you hope to partner with, whether through marriage or a business collaboration. That 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn will affect you through July 4 as it wanes. This is an important juncture in your timeline, so let’s look more closely at it.
Romantically, you may want to get married or move in with your partner soon. If so, you might have a problem finding a suitable apartment or house because your ruler, Saturn, recently moved into your home and family sector this past February (to stay until April 2028). If you plan to move into where you or your sweetheart currently live, it may be too small for two. Saturn will slow down the search process, so it could take time to find the right space.
Neptune’s position toward this Sun and 🌕full moon warns that the places you are considering right now may eventually bring you problems regarding water—in any of its forms. For example, there may be flooding in the basement from a faulty boiler or a tropical storm, or you might run into problems with the drinking water. Neptune might create challenges with mold, or you could contend with a great deal of snow and ice in the winter. These are just a few examples. None of these problems may apply to you, but you need to find out. Ask the seller or landlord about the history of the property. Did the tenants or owners live there long? Why did the last family leave? Has any tenant had problems with water?
Neptune not only rules water but also “fog,” in the sense of missing or confusing information. By law, it’s required that a seller or landlord is fully transparent about a property so that you know what to expect before you agree to buy or rent. Instead of having problems with water, it may be that you will need to make a decision when facts are missing or unknown. It will help to ask a lot of questions.
Neptune will only bring obstacles if you are taking action while Neptune is making a difficult aspect to another planet, the Sun, or the 🌕full moon. Neptune is in a harsh angle (a square) to both the Sun and 🌕full moon, which is why I am asking you to be careful.
If you are about to start working with a new business partner or collaborator, you may find that there are some unanticipated differences in opinion about how to proceed.
Not helping matters is the fact that Mercury is retrograde, a time when it’s easy to make incorrect assumptions. Mercury is retrograde in ♋Cancer and your partnership sector, a trend that started on June 29 and will continue until July 23. Leave a space of days after Mercury turns direct before making any important decisions, such as moving, interviewing, or signing a contract, as Mercury needs time to regulate its orb.
The July 14 🌑new moon in ♋Cancer will present some challenges, too. This 🌑new moon will emphasize a partner in love or business, and this person will be the center of your attention for weeks after the 🌑new moon arrives.
Saturn will be grumpy during this time, clashing with the Sun and July 14 🌑new moon. Saturn is your ruling planet, and he is in your solar fourth house of home and family, giving you the urge to stabilize your living situation. You might want to buy property now, but you could hesitate for any number of reasons. Thankfully, finances don’t seem to be a problem at all—you likely have all the resources you need to move ahead. It may be comforting to know that your outlook for money during the rest of 2026 and in early 2027 is quite spectacular—the best in the decade.
Still, you may come up against other little roadblocks. As an example, your partner may not agree with your idea of a dream living situation, and they could have alternate ideas and opinions that you are resisting. Or your family may ask you to slow down your plans for marriage because they are not convinced that your partner is the right person for you. It will take time to ease their fears. These are examples that may not apply to you, but the point is, no matter your plans, you will need to address certain concerns before you move ahead. Just like it was to the Sun and 🌕full moon, Saturn will be in a hard angle to the Sun and 🌑new moon, so this is not an ideal time to join forces in love or business.
There is another difficulty with this 🌑new moon on July 14: It will not correspond with any planets when it arrives. Astrologers call this situation a “moon void of course.” You might be thinking that because the moon is the fastest moving body in our solar system, it will quickly move out of void and make contact with planets. That doesn’t change things, and I will explain why.
The moment the 🌑moon arrives, she must be engaged in some sort of interaction with at least one planet—that is when the die is cast. The moment the moon is “born,” astrologers can judge its outlook and influence. The 🌑new moon may be friendly to one or more planets or clash with them—either way, that’s okay. She HAS to be engaged and alert. However, when she is void of course she is sleepy and needs rest.
The actions you take during a 🌑void moon often don’t progress properly—conditions will remain the same as they were before. Most people want to see change and growth. Admittedly, there are times when no change is good, such as during a tax audit with the government. If the 🌑moon is void when you go to see the auditor, you are likely to be sent home with a handshake and the words, “Nothing to see here. The government is satisfied with your tax return.”
Not every day has a 🌑void moon, but when it does happen, you need to know. You should never close on a house, go on a first date or a big job interview, meet the press, get married, or do anything important when the 🌑moon is void of course.
Now, coming back to your July forecast, the first three weeks of July will be slow and meandering, but you may like that pace. It will offer you quite a different speed than you are used to. For the time being, you might be content to see a partnership matter continue along without progress or change.
Once you get close to the end of the month, the pace will pick up, and you will come to the very best part of July.
The 🌕full moon of July 29 is one of the best 🌕full moons of the year. It will appear in your financial second house, and Pluto will orbit close to the 🌕moon, so quite a bit of money will flow in—and out. You may be spending money on a big event or purchase, or you could decide to invest a large sum of money in property or stocks and bonds, as examples.
Coinciding with the 🌕full moon on July 29 (influential until August 3), Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will conjunct the mighty Sun in ♌Leo and your financial eighth house of other people’s money. This makes July 29 the Luckiest Day of the Year.
It has been 12 years since Jupiter has been in ♌Leo (Jupiter just entered ♌Leo on June 30), and the good-fortune planet will remain in your financial house for a little over a year (until July 25, 2027). If you think back to when Jupiter last visited ♌Leo, from mid-2014 to mid-2015, and feel it was not an outstanding financial period for you, it’s likely because other planets were interfering with the lucky planet’s ability to give you the full experience. This is different now, and the coming months will be a much better time for you financially.
The Luckiest Day of the Year (July 29) may bring news about a large financial sum coming to you. It may come as a prize, a bonus, cash advance, financial court settlement, or a final agreement in the division of assets in a divorce. The news that comes to you may involve an inheritance or valuable gift, or it could come from another source. If you are starting a new job, you might negotiate benefits on or near July 29 that could lead to a signing bonus, terrific health insurance, or other benefits that please you.
Alternatively, you might conclude a major deal that creates great financial profit for you. If you applied for a large bank loan, infusion of venture capital, or a jumbo mortgage, it’s likely to come through. If you submitted an insurance claim, you will probably like the results if you receive a reply near July 29.
You will continue to see a brisk business environment. In fact, the large number of clients or customers who will be beating a path to your door may amaze you. I say that because Uranus will send a beautiful, shimmering beam to the Sun and Jupiter at the time of the 🌕full moon on July 29. Keep your phone on—when it comes to money, all news is likely to be good news.
Two days before the start of July, an important 🌕full moon arrived on June 29—the only 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn of the year—suggesting that a highly important, landmark personal event happened (or will happen in early July, sometime up to July 4). Your ruler, Saturn, challenged the Sun in ♋Cancer and the 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn, so you were forced to be realistic and accept certain facts as you encountered them.
Saturn is now based in your home and family sector, so this is where your attention may have been drawn during the 🌕full moon, along with an equal focus on a partner in love or business. It may not have been easy to find all the facts you needed to make an informed decision, for Neptune was having his own clash with the Sun and 🌕full moon. You may have to make a decision despite some uncertainty and ambiguity. As said, you will be affected by the waning 🌕full moon in the first four days of July.
If the matter that surfaced required you to spend a sum of money (possible), thankfully you are now hosting good-fortune Jupiter in your financial eighth house, so you likely have access to the money you need from your own savings, a bank loan, or a venture capitalist. Alternatively, you may win a charity raffle, discover you were named in a kindly relative’s will, or receive a major commission if you work in sales. If you are a writer, substantial royalties on a book or screenplay could come through, and if you are an actor, you may receive significant residuals. Your insurance company may surprise you by sending you a large sum for a claim you submitted. Your outlook for making and receiving money in the coming 13 months has never been better.
At the start of the month, your attention may have been drawn to an important partner in love or business. You might be getting married soon or hoping to sign on with a professional collaborator. If you’re already married, you may be deciding on a new goal to tackle together.
During the 🌑new moon on July 14, your attention to your partnership plans will intensify. You may be ready to get engaged or married, or you may want to sign a contract with a collaborator who has the expertise you need to get ahead at work. I would suggest that you wait until August (if you can) to make these big decisions, and here is why.
Mercury will be retrograde all month, a trend that started on June 29 and will continue until July 23.
Mercury will be moving backwards in ♋Cancer and your marriage and business partnership solar seventh house.
When Mercury is out of phase it is never a good time to make serious contractual agreements. Even after Mercury is out of retrograde—in this case, July 23—don’t rush or act quickly because Mercury will still be unstable and could bring problems that will show up months from now. After Mercury turns direct, it’s always wise to leave a wide space of days before you act.
This 🌑new moon on July 14 has a number of difficulties beyond Mercury’s retrograde. Saturn, your ruling planet, will be in a hard conflict with the Sun and 🌑new moon.
Saturn will be a bit of a troublemaker at the July 14 🌑new moon. Saturn has been in your home and family sector since he moved into ♈Aries in mid-February of this year, and he will remain there until mid-April of 2028. If you’re hoping your sweetheart will move in with you, your current space may be too small.
If this is true, you may embark on a search for a larger apartment or house. With Saturn throwing a wrench into your plans, it could take longer than you expect to find the right space, and getting your partner to agree with your choices could be another hurdle. If you have no residential challenges, it may be that your family is not enthusiastic about your sweetheart, and you might want to find ways to rally your family around you.
The best part of the month will come in the last third, for sunny aspects will prevail and make you forget any frustrations that may have come up earlier.
The 🌕full moon in ♒Aquarius on July 29 will conjoin Pluto in your second house of earned income, making you more consistent, convincing, and compelling than usual in your financial dealings. You appear to be closing a major deal that could be outstandingly lucrative. You will also receive an excellent shimmering beam from unpredictable Uranus, so what transpires financially will be delightful, and it may thoroughly surprise you in its scope.
On the same day as this 🌕full moon, July 29, Jupiter will conjunct the Sun, making for the Luckiest Day of the Year. Rather than go out and buy lotto tickets, which have a near-impossible chance to win, focus instead on a smaller contest. You might want to consider buying a charity raffle ticket instead.
Money may emanate from just about any source, but there is some indication that it may be tied directly to your efforts on an important project, with the money coming to you as a bonus or professional fee. Jupiter has not been in your financial eighth house for 12 years, and now Jupiter will stay there for nearly 13 months, until July 25, 2027.
Be ready to use the Luckiest Day of the Year and this 🌕full moon (both on July 29) to your full advantage, as they can give you an extra edge of golden luck. Schedule an important job interview, make a major client presentation, apply for a large mortgage, or send in an insurance claim. You can think of more ideas. A day this special and rare would be a shame to miss—think of something you can do to make it count.
You are coming into your own now, dear ♊Gemini. Mars, the action planet, just recently entered ♊your sign last month on June 28, to stay until August 11. In many ways, this could be a powerful time for you to steer your ship in a new direction. On July 3 Mars will meet up with surprise planet Uranus, suggesting your mind will be sparked with many glittery ideas—it will be up to you to decide how you’d best like to move forward. Surprise opportunities may come up too, so this is sure to be a lively time for you.
Before Mars’ move into ♊Gemini on June 28, Mars had been in ♉Taurus for weeks, since May 18, keeping you in limbo, but the pace of life will speed up now, and that will please you to no end. Mars in ♊Gemini will give you much more control over events. You will feel more courageous, adventuresome, optimistic, and energetic.
On the next day, June 29, you saw a 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn (8º), so you may have had to send a sizable check to a person or entity you owed. This might not have been easy, and I say that because Saturn in ♈Aries was in hard angle to the Sun and 🌕full moon, and both were in the financial sectors of your chart. (That 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn lit up your eighth house of other people’s money, and the Sun was residing in ♋Cancer and your second house of personal earnings and savings.)
Meanwhile, seeing that Saturn was in a harsh and demanding angle to that 🌕full moon, Pluto in ♒Aquarius beamed a message over to Mars and Uranus (both were in a perfect position in early degrees of ♊Gemini) to see if there was a way to help you make money to offset any cash you had going out. As a result of Pluto’s moves, you will have a chance to make money in the communications industry using writing, editing, translating, speaking, selling, advertising, PR, social media, or other related skills.
This possibility is also borne out by the close orbit of Mercury, your ruler, and good-fortune Jupiter that occurred on June 29. These two planets were not exactly conjunct but were within 3 degrees in your second house of earned money. Jupiter spent his last day in ♋Cancer on June 29. The next day, June 30, Jupiter moved out of ♋Cancer and your second house of earned income and into ♌Leo and your third house of communication, which is the house naturally ruled by ♊Gemini and responsible for your strong abilities in communication.
Mercury started to retrograde on June 29 and will continue to be retrograde this month until July 23. This suggests you might want to go back to people you worked with successfully to see if you can collaborate again or to ask for their advice about who they might recommend or who to contact. You can do this whether you are looking for a new position or are self-employed and seeking new business.
The 🌑new moon in ♋Cancer (22º) will arrive on July 14 in your house of earned income. This is often the one 🌑new moon of the year you would rely on to increase your earning power, but there will be a bit of a problem. This 🌑new moon will arrive void, which means this 🌑new moon won’t be engaged in a conversation with any other planets, and that will render her weak. The 🌑moon won’t come out of void for 12 hours, 51 minutes, but the die will be cast, and the forecast for this 🌑new moon will be set.
This will be a unique 🌑new moon in that it will remain void so long, and therefore it might not produce the influx of cash that you were hoping to see. You may do better with a one-time fee, commission, advance, bonus, or money coming from other sources, such as from an insurance company, raffle prize, valuable gift, or from a bank loan or venture capital. You also could make money by selling personal property.
Now let’s look at Wednesday, July 15, when Neptune in ♈Aries will receive an exciting electric beam from Uranus in ♊Gemini. This could turn out to be a highly romantic, enchanting evening. Alternatively, you may choose to work on a creative project and find ideas rain down on you like diamonds from the sky.
On July 20 Jupiter will contact Neptune, making the weekend of July 18-19 ideal for travel, especially if it is with the one you love. (Think about extending your weekend to include Monday, July 20, if you can.)
A lot of celestial bodies will be meeting with Neptune this month. On Monday, July 27, the Sun in ♌Leo will contact Neptune in ♈Aries in a gorgeous aspect, making this a perfect day to express yourself artistically with grand imagination. This is also due to be a romantic, poetic day. You will start to feel this energy over the previous weekend, July 25-26.
On the same day, Monday, July 27, the Sun will send a sparkling beam to Uranus, so surprises will abound. You may impulsively take a trip or add the perfect final touches to a manuscript or report you’re writing.
Now we come to a very special 🌕full moon in ♒Aquarius (7º) on July 29. This 🌕full moon will bring to fullness your plans to take a distant trip, if that has been on your agenda. It is also a 🌕full moon that will bring a writing or speaking project to culmination or see a legal matter conclude. If you are hoping to immigrate to another country, you will receive important news at this time, whether about citizenship, a visa, passport, residency card, or other related matter. If you are planning to go back to the classroom as an undergraduate or graduate student, plans will be finalized then.
At the same time as this 🌕full moon, benefic Jupiter will meet with the Sun and produce the Luckiest Day of the Year. This will be such an exciting day—it will give you a wonderful competitive edge and the ability to create a win-win result for any negotiation. You may shop, make a presentation at work, receive outstanding publicity, sell something you own (from a designer bag to a house), or travel on this date (or within the 🌕full moon period, July 29 to August 3) and find it’s one of your best trips of the year. It could turn out so wonderful that you’ll remember it forever.
Look back a little over the past year, from June 9, 2025, to June 30, 2026, when you hosted Jupiter in ♋Cancer and your second house of earned income. You may have had a substantial year for attracting money. Now Jupiter has moved to ♌Leo, which will give you opportunities to show off your skills in all the communication arts, an area that you are known to excel in as a ♊Gemini.
Although Jupiter just left your financial sector last month on June 30, with no plans to return in the coming decade, a brilliant 🌑new moon on July 14 is poised to give you one more shot at increasing your income. This 🌑new moon and the Sun will both appear in ♋Cancer, but Saturn will be in hard angle to this 🌑new moon, limiting your ability to get an increase, but other opportunities will be coming that I’ll be telling you about in reports later this year. It’s just not going to happen at this 🌑new moon.
I will admit that when this 🌑new moon first appears, it will be void of course, which is a term astrologers use when 🌑a moon is not speaking or communicating with any planet, rendering the 🌑moon weak and less effective. The 🌑moon will be void for 12 hours, 51 minutes, but the problem is a 🌑new moon’s outlook is fixed at the moment the 🌑new moon is “born” (the day and time she arrives—even if it’s void for only a minute).
You may have an aspect in your natal chart that will help this situation (one I cannot see from where I sit because it is in your unique horoscope). For that reason I say, try to raise your income in any way you want. See what happens. I hope you will be the exception to the rule. If you are a ♊Gemini or have ♊Gemini rising. Keep in mind that you will have to wait at least 10 days after July 14 to see if anything will happen from your efforts to become richer. If you are self-employed, you may want to launch a self-promotion campaign over social media, do publicity, or advertise your goods and services.
Mars entered ♊Gemini for the first time in two years on June 28 and will remain in ♊your sign until August 11. Having Mars in ♊your sign is a great advantage—you will have a higher than usual profile, and important people will be attracted to your confidence, courage, and drive. When Mars is in ♊your sign, influential people are more likely to approve your ideas and even help you advance.
At the same time, you will be somewhat hampered by having Mercury, your ruling planet, being retrograde, a trend that started last month on June 29 and will continue until July 23. This is not a time to sign important papers, for during these periods information is often missing or overlooked. It is also not a time to begin new ventures or buy expensive equipment or machines with electronic chips. That includes a car, so wait to purchase one until you arrive at the end of July. I don’t like buying anything costly either, such as expensive furniture, clothing, or jewelry—hold off for now.
You may feel that having Mars in ♊Gemini while Mercury is retrograde is a bit of a quagmire. However, you can use this configuration to your advantage, if you go back to clients and colleagues you used to work with to find new ways to join forces again. Mercury retrograde is an aspect that whispers, “Go back—there is more to be done together.’’ Additionally, you likely started that relationship a long time ago, at a time when Mercury was not retrograde—therefore you are free and clear to work together again now. Mercury retrograde urges you to look back, see value in the past, and reconvene with those who supported you once. They may do so again this month.
The 🌕full moon of July 29 will stimulate your desire to travel far and wide. You may have no solid plans to go, but with Uranus sending a sweet message to both the Sun and this 🌕full moon, which is conjunct Pluto, you may spontaneously hop on a jet plane and take off. With Jupiter conjunct the Sun on July 29—making for the Luckiest Day of the Year—if you travel, you are likely to encounter beautiful accommodations—they would be pampering and even luxurious.
There is some indication you may combine business with pleasure too—and make a tidy profit. Perhaps you will want to see a client face-to-face or negotiate a fair contract together. With Jupiter conjunct the Sun, you’ll be at your most optimistic, vibrant self, ready with your arms outstretched to take the world by storm.
