July begins with softness and ends with sovereignty. Cancer’s tides lead us inward, and Leo’s flames carry us out. This is a month for spiritual molting.. release, reset, and raw power rising.

July’s skies are all in. We’ve got a Capricorn Full Moon checking our foundations, a Leo New Moon rewriting our origin story, and a Mercury retrograde asking us to remember who we were before we filtered ourselves. There are no shortcuts. Only truth.

Timing has been confirmed using ephemeris data, and transits are interpreted through a Placidus lens with Hellenistic influence. Your forecast is anchored, accurate, and made for reflection.

🕯️ House Activations to Watch (Placidus-based)

If you know your rising sign, here’s how these major movements may hit:

• Mutable Risings (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces):

Mars in Virgo is pushing you to refine your routines. Less clutter, more clarity. Your nervous system is the messenger.

• Cardinal Risings (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn):

Mercury Retrograde in Leo stirs creative blocks and questions of worth. What part of you stopped speaking up.. and why?

• Fixed Risings (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius):

Uranus entering Gemini rocks your 2nd or 3rd house. How you think, earn, and share is evolving fast. Stay agile but anchored.
