July 2018 – Planetary Overview: Major Astrological Aspects and Transits

On July 10th, Jupiter ends its retrograde motion and turns direct in Scorpio. In the last four months, we learned how to deal with strong emotions. From now on, this planet helps us financially and also makes most of us attracted to the occult and esoteric.

July 10th: JUPITER AGAIN DIRECT IN SCORPIO (retrograde motion started on March 8th) – The great expander in the house of other people’s money brings all kind of financial benefits: money from your parents or spouse, collaborations, dividends, inheritances. In the same time, most of us are attracted to the occult and esoteric. „It is harder to develop your occult or psychic body when you are dead because all planes meet in the physical“ (Frederick Lenz)

July 10th: VENUS ENTERS VIRGO – you tend to have a pragmatic approach to relationships. You succeed to stay motivated during monotonous tasks. „Pragmatism asks its usual question. «Grant an idea or belief to be true,» it says, «what concrete difference will its being true make in anyone’s actual life? How will the truth be realized? What experiences will be different from those which would obtain if the belief were false? What, in short, is the truth’s cash-value in experiential terms?»“ (William James)

July 26th: MERCURY RETROGRADE IN LEO (until August 19th) – sometimes we may lack inspiration, but sometimes we have so much that we can’t control it. „Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth“ (Jalaluddin Rumi)

July 27th: FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS (Sun in Leo opposite Moon in Aquarius) – a day full of surprises and unconventional behavior. The only advice we can offer is to expect the unexpected. „Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me“ (Carl Sandburg) More about the Full Moon in Aquarius
