JULY 2026 ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER
The Strawberry full moon on the 29th of June opened the skyway onto July 2026 and beyond.
Astro physicists and stargazers have been in great anticipation for this month for aver long time Viewed by some as a hint or question regarding humanity’s physical, mental and spiritual advancement, is a lot to take in. So we can start by seeing how the perfect fire and air alignment of the four outer planets might soon contribute significant scientific and technological discoveries.
Now the excitement piece of this basket of planets in early Aries, Gemini, Aquarius, could manifest itself in gifts of light to open minds, hearts and even wallets. We can hope. As the beneficial geometry of this foursome started around the June Solstice, how can we forget the joy and gratitude expressed by so many foreign visitors at the recent FIFA sporting events.
Do keep in mind that July will be hosting a few specific days and events that will evoke a slew of personal and global responses. Try to stay calm and let the cosmos work itself out because big changes are waiting for us, just ahead on the horizon.
Given that this is America’s 250th birthday I’m adding a few historical parallels which may or not be of interest you.
Now, as we’re right at the midpoint of 2026 we can check our baggage or just leave it on the curb, and hop into a new Waymo and sail through the month ahead. Safety belts on. Ready?
JUNE 29 – JULY 2nd First if all, a shout out and Happy Birthday wish to all of you Julians.
Carefully watching July’s first 3 days we may experience, not just see, some vivid, even break through electrifying information, all due to the rare exact conjunction between Mars and Uranus in Gemini. I may add that this news could be partially favorable and then not so much. The hold back piece
could be about the economy due to the simultaneous square of Chiron to Jupiter and Pluto.
Starting off on July’s first day, Mercury decides to go into retrograde and remain in Cancer thereby adding more meaning to the month’s lunar influence on close family ties, bonds of friendships, and nurture Mother earth. throughout the entire month up to August 9th. We’ll take it.
Added to the party along comes Jupiter in early Leo expanding thoughts and plans, with a nod to assist whatever goal might be on your to do list. Then, the hyper electric pairing of Mars with Uranus in early Gemini, can barely control themselves, placed in vedic Krittika (the sanskrit word for “critical’), which is all about connecting and getting the word out there.
The last time this rare two year meet up last occurred on July 16- 17th 2024. Yes, that was the date of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life. At that time the duo at 27degrees in late Taurus directly slammed our natal moon, the same 27 degree over in Aquarius, and now the new team of Mars and Uranus have moved in to take over information central. So let’s see what might leak out ?
JULY 4th Having now arrived at America’s 250th birthday, we’ll have a look at our nation’s birthday, and solar return chart to see what the sky might show. A note to any astrologers out there, I use the James Kelleher birth chart July 4th, 1776 at 6:30 pm Philadelphia. Our 2026 USA birthday chart’s Pisces Moon, placed in the highest and most public place, so beautifully linked to Sun, brings out a beacon of peace.
Added to this set up is our Sun’s exact connection to the fixed star Sirius, brightest star in our galaxy. The solar chart’s darker horse, call it Saturn at 14 Aries, is once again repeating the same threatening aspect as in the 1776 birth chart. Protesting against an uncaring and unjustly taxing King, the common folk rebelled. Are we in revolutionary mode again? Well yes, it does kind of look that way.
We’ll be checking out some historical parallels, especially that of rebel god Uranus, whose 80 year cycle in Gemini started shortly after the 1776 Revolution and has shown up at each fractious cycle to be discussed. Its stellar signature in that same location shows up on the 1789 chart of our US constitution. Nor did he ( Uranus ) bypass the French revolution, does “let them eat cake” sound familiar ? Well, a short time afterwards the Monarchy was marched off to the guillotine.
By the late 1858 to 1860’s, just after the fall of the Whig Party, Abraham Lincoln joined with the Republicans, and Uranus was back in Gemini same degrees, just as the Civil War erupted on April 12, 1861.
Now, back to right now, July 1st 2026. Mars is repeating the same square blockage to the lunar nodes, which Uranus did several weeks earlier, just another pattern matching up to the April of 1861.
Wait, in case you’re still interested, we have one other historical parallel worth mentioning. Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, December 7, 1941, shoved America into a war with the Land of the Rising Sun. President Roosevelt immediately named it “A Day of Infamy”, as Mars once again had just slammed the 27th degree of our natal Aquarian moon, and heart.
Coincidentally, a similar event just rocked the world in late February 2026, when Mars repeated its delivery in late Taurus onto that mid month’s solar eclipse degree direct on our 27 degree Aquarius moon, and the US attacked Iran. Since Aquarius is Uranus’ home base, it’s so interesting to see how his arrival in Gemini has occurred during those crucial times of national hostility and combat.
After reviewing our country’s history and outcomes in times of combat, what might we expect present time ? All the 1776 signators Declaring our Independence, and the nation’s core message of “freedom, liberty and justice for the people” could not have been a mistake. America has now entered the true Age of Aquarius. Ok we’ve got Uranus returned to Gemini in April, remaking those same copacetic trines to our fate and destiny nodes. Then Jupiter will soon be exact on point of destiny 6.30 degrees Leo, which will amplify our nation’s original intentions. As these cosmic patterns have shown, we’ve overcome the darker times before and we’ll do it again.
Ok, we’re back, and July 14th’s New Moon in Cancer (2:44 am pdt) tight with with Mercury, could bring some relief away from so much air and fire activity. Oh and here’s another time to underline in green not red. The weekend of the 18th for a day or three, could be fun with all those great 60 degree sextiles perfectly set between the air and fire team, and Jupiter has a message : “Ok now’s the time to do what you want to do, so don’t let anyone stop you”. That’s for your inner self, never mind those inflated ego’s bopping around. Other than that try to enjoy these times because what comes next is a really big deal
JULY 23d Mercury having just gone direct, standing still to emphasize to a favorable contact Venus; at the point anything helps. The Sun at zero to one Leo, opposite Pluto in Aquarius, form a grand cross with Jupiter and Chiron in Taurus. This is quite serious. Threats of war, and major attacks loom. Well luckily, we have Neptune and Uranus in early Aries and Gemini to ameliorate the worst outcomes.
Would these aspects release and reveal what’s been held in secret? Why have 11 scientists involved with our secret investigation of outer stellar visitors, regarding higher intelligence from outer worlds, gone missing or have been found dead ? Is it going to be Disclosure Day soon ? No matter what happens these precise dates will no doubt make History.
And that my friends will be your letter for July of 2026. Flags Flying.
wSOME BETTER DATES: 14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 29
BIRTHDAYS OF NOTE: The following birthdays are based on the very close degrees of the Sun if closely aspected present month. I don’t generalize on a large swath of 1- 30 dates for which I could never be specific, but Sun Sign astrology can be entertaining and financially successful.
Normally a true birth time will provide an accurate rising sign and degree of the moon. Call these the Three Majors. Then we can begin to talk true astrology. The Sun is still very significant for it represents the soul’s manifestation in the outer world, even health issues and then the house position gets even more specific. Vedic astrology is primarily based on the moon, for its quickly shifting degree descriptions and chart dominance. If you’d like to see your own chart for these details just follow the new link provided to observe nicely arranged charts with specific explanations.

JULY 4- 7th Mars Uranus exact at 3 Gemini might send a mega drone of news and cheers for your big day. Then, having Saturn in Aries blocking your Suns, indicates a a few times in the year ahead to to be careful, and do take care of your self, health and all else. The fun part comes from that full hearted Venus in Leo inspired even more so by Eris, that female Mars in fiery Aries. Live it up but Don’t forget about Saturn.
JULY 22- 23d A very powerful couple of days, not only is Mercury going direct, with your birthday Sun early in Leo but you’ll have Jupiter joining the party with the four outer planets. Air and fire bring on private personal news and information for you, while lighting a match to your ignition and cake. I like it !
JULY 26 – AUGUST 1st The best part of these early Leo Sun birthdays is how nicely they coincide with Jupiter and the gang of 4. All Inspired by Neptune, energetic with Uranus. Great! but do hold back a little the 29th (7:36 am pdt) under the full Aquarius moon when it first opens exact to Pluto. But its all really ok.
AUGUST 6- 9th Your best days arrive right around the 19 -21st and the best part is Saturn’ s gift of strength and support! Yes! So take advantage.
AUGUST 23- 24th A little tricky right at the beginning of the month. The hits to your Sun and hits from Mars to ketu don’t look very nice. But it’s a short time.Then right around the 9th Venus comes in, hair, make up anyone? Plus having Chiron in same degree over in Taurus is a gift! He’ll stay there for a long time!
AUGUST 31 – September 2nd How nice to have a full moon right on day 1, so nice for your Suns and, it’s in a very copacetic, friendly location in mid Capricorn.
SEPTEMBER 5 – 8th Just a short time to watch words and actions, 19 -25th, as Mars and Venus might argue with your Suns. So ignore it, go ahead you can buy that purse.
SEPTEMBER 13- 14th Lovely new moon for you on the 14th, including Mercury, maybe the best time of the month and it’s for you!
SEPTEMBER 23- 29th How lucky can you be? I mean with all those planets in lovely 60 degree sextiles, to lift you up to the sky, no parachutes needed, specifically around mid to 3d week.
OCTOBER 1- 4th Ok where to start? My best choice for you would be around the weekend of the 11th . Otherwise be careful as Saturn is directly opposite your Suns meaning no sky diving and pay attention to any health issues if needed.
OCTOBER 18 – 20th In spite of all the fun aspects on these same dates, I’d want you to be very careful on your own days due to a conflicted moon square to that bitch Eris. Now The lunar nodes do support you and that’s the best news.
OCTOBER 23- 26th Now just watch around you carefully. A T square to your Suns, Pluto and Jupiter, early month especially, doesn’t look to nice. It passes and early on you’ll have Venus sidling top to you to do your hair maybe?
NOVEMBER 12 – 14th These are such good days for you so I hope you’ll take advantage, you’re luckier than most this month.
NOVEMBER 18 – 20th The very early days like you a lot, then later near the 20 to 21st such a lovely Moon and Sun tried for you! And that Mercury character will go direct and play for you all the up to August 9th.
NOVEMBER 21 – 25th How much fun will it be to have all this every early Fire and air signs calling you out to play> It might be a degree or 2 off for some, but the set up is so strong it doesn’t matter,
DECEMBER 13 – 17th Late month might be annoying and even confusing so just ignore any news you don’t like. But the best new is how you have Eris in exact trine to support your creative and brilliant self !
DECEMBER 3 – 6th Well lucky you to have Saturn for your side goat security and all. Fire likes fire so its like you took a double dose of Vitamin A, BC and D!
JANUARY 11- 14th , Even though it’s over oi your opposite sign of Cancer, the new moon can brin Isoe calmness and peace too your world.
JANUARY 18 – 21st So much fun for you on these same exact days in July. Lots of fun and energy even very creatively inspiring!
FEBRUARY 3- 8th How nice for you, earlier month and some later days to have Mars and Saturn holding your stars so nicely! Saturn ’s with you helping in a big way, all month! Can’t pay $$ for this one.
FEBRUARY 13- 17th Not too many aspects for these Aquarian degree, except for one big item, and that is the super powerful help from the Asteroid Eris! The female fighter , what can be better?
FEBRUARY 19 – 23d The biggest news for you is the contact with north node Rahu on your same degrees in early Pisces. It’s life changing and good in many ways. What would you like to do?
MARCH 6 – 9th Just be a little cautious later mont say around the 25- 26th. It’ s not terrible just annoying, confusing even. Stay centered you’ve got good instincts.
MARCH 11- 14th Lucky for you this new moon on the 14th , maybe the best time of the month, is a gift for you! A calming gift in spite of all the fractious days this month .
MARCH 22- 28th All of this much discussed air and fire fun is right on your chart, you lucky Aries !! Paint it build, it play or cook it! Just Do it ! I’m so happy for you in this crazy month.
APRIL 2- 7th If you’re feeling like the boss’ s hand is on your shoulder, yes its Saturn .Now depending on your chart it could be helpful or annoying. Health issues coil be part of the story. Then you have a friend mid month, called Mars. That helps !
APRIL 11 – 14th Now as we know, new moons in squaring signs aren’t great, but a chart has many more aspects than where a Sun sits! SO look and see what you have in earth and water. Might be great!
APRIL 16 – 19th Later month the sky open up a little more for you as Mars joins up with Eris, who you have all the time these many months, anyway, lucky you. But add some fire activation to your selves in a watery month.
APRIL 21- 24th. Careful is the best word for these early Taureans. My fave part is having Chiron in sextile to the lunar nodes of fate and destiny going along with you! But early month Jupiter blocks that, just wait. He leaves . Then after the 10th you’ll hav e great pal with Venus, creative inspiration!New career thoughts? The hard part is moving past that Pluto guy. Later in the Fall he’ll be gone just to bother some other guys.
MAY 10 -14th The new moon on the 14th is so nice for you in its 60 degree line up. Helpful ! And Mercury slithering up and down in Cancer very close all month, need some more info ?
MAY 23- 30th Wow I’ m so excited for you early Gems! All those fire tigers and air kids are so happy to be playing in your yard, with you! Seriously, the infusion and spark to your brilliance and creativity cannot be matched! This is your time!!
JUNE 2- 7th Early Junios you have a great pal in Saturn! He’s right next to you holding your luggage, and even your back! Up to mid month you will have Mars right with you. Was it that energy drink? Or the gym?
JUNE 8- 14th Around the 3d week of the month I wouldn’t advise any of you to get your driver’s license renewed. It looks a bit confusing. Not a whole lot this month for these degrees in Gem, but you have many other planets and aspects, as I always say.
JIUNE 15 – 18th Well you guys are so lucky because that wild girl Eris, fighting tiger, is very near giving a 60 degree angle, called a sextile, such a supportive gift to your Suns and selves!
JUNE 26 – 28th You very early water children better relax for a while as Neptune has been making thing s somewhat confusing. Then say around the 10 – 19th you’ll have Venus to shine her light over you and that’s great!
