July 2024 Vedic Astrology

Timeline Astrology

In the first two weeks of July, Mars continues to transit Aries and forms a sextile with Saturn. Although this aspect is beneficial, Saturn's influence often feels restrictive to Mars' impulsive energy. Saturn, now retrograde, demands careful consideration, prompting us to rethink impulsive actions. This may feel like revisiting long-term plans repeatedly.

On July 12, Mars enters Taurus, joining Jupiter and Uranus. This transit could disrupt supply chains and the economy, possibly due to power outages or infrastructure attacks. Natural disasters might also contribute. Expect significant disruptions, especially in mid-July when Mars exactly conjuncts Uranus, and later with Jupiter in mid-August, signalling a hopeful period after initial turmoil.
A more positive expression of this combination is the Olympics and many other major sporting events. Mars and Uranus buoyed up by Jupiter in Taurus may bring new world records and breakthroughs in other ways. It should at least show a more enjoyable time in sporting arenas, although there are also likely to be some disturbances.

Mercury quickly moves from Cancer into Leo, preparing us for its retrograde by the beginning of August. For now, Mercury is eager to advance plans. In Cancer, Mercury is more emotional and reactive, especially when opposed by Pluto in Capricorn. This opposition requires balancing our desires for security with changes we cannot control.
By July 19, Mercury enters Leo, crossing a sensitive point it will revisit twice more because of its retrograde. This creates chaos and uncertainty in practical matters such as travel, trade, and communications.

Mars aspects Mercury in Cancer and in Leo. This square aspect can cause strong reactions to perceived threats. With Mars also conjoining Uranus and Jupiter, this may trigger more disruptions in travel and trade.
