Cosmic Scope for Jul 2024
The month of July highlights the ME Versus WE conundrum.
Neptune in Pisces at the anaretic 29 deg is at its peak goes retrograde on 2 July until 8 Dec which brings us back to reflect and rectify any issues that we might have missed or overlooked as Neptune could fog up our thoughts and vision. But being in its own sign since April 2011, it has helped us evolve slowly over the years. Compared to other outer planets, Uranus and Pluto, where the effects feel sudden, hard and cathartic, Neptune’s effect feels soft, transient, dissolving. Over the past 13 years, we would have different experiences and met different people in our lives. The lessons Neptune in Pisces taught us include forgiveness, compassion, limitless, be comfortable with the unknown, enjoy the dreams and fantasies. I could write a whole article about Neptune! Neptune will officially move into Aries in Jan 2026 of which the energy will be totally different.
Mercury enters Leo on 2 July and will be in opposition against Pluto in Aquarius. This is the beginning of the July battle of ME/WE. There will be words and thoughts out of ego and pride but Pluto is forcing us to act for the whole human race. Do I act based on what I want as an individual, to protect my own pride and fame or do I act to benefit the greater community?
The New Moon at 14 deg Cancer falls on 5 or 6 Jul (depending on which part of the world you are at). Be it a move to a new home, a new addition to the family or new emotions arising, this signifies something new in the area of your life where this New Moon falls in.
On 11 or 12 Jul, Venus moves into Leo. Maybe you might feel like wearing something brighter or go for a total makeover! Flaunt it if you can. There’s no rule when it comes to fashion as long as you are presenting your authentic self. This is also a good time to express your love in a big way.
Mars conjunct Uranus in Taurus on 15 Jul where Mars might fuel any sudden shock or change in the resources sector. The dark side of Taurus could be stubbornness. Anything fixated might be forced to change all of a sudden. As much as it might cause pain, the sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces would give you a chance to get some relief if you make an effort to let go of whatever you are gripping onto.
Mars entering Gemini on 20 or 21 Jul and immediately forming a trine aspect to Pluto in Aquarius will give you the courage (Mars) to speak up (Gemini) and fight (Mars) for the community (Aquarius). Group consciousness is strong now. This coincides with the 2nd Full Moon in Capricorn, this time at the anaretic 29 deg. This is the deg Pluto has been hovering over back and forth since Feb 2023. Again, this signifies final culmination of the end of structural reform. Pluto will continue with the final inspection from Sept to mid Nov this year and then officially move into Aquarius.
Then comes the Leo season! The Sun enters Leo on 22 or 23 Jul which forms another opposition against Pluto in Aquarius. We are back to the ME/WE polarity. But if we could leverage this in a way by being generous (Leo) and lead with dignity for the good of mankind (Aquarius), this will go far.
Finally, on 25 or 26 Jul, Mercury moves into Virgo which calling us to be vigilant, go through any details if need be and make sure we don’t neglect our own health and wellbeing (Virgo).
