This July is a busy month, astrologically speaking. There’s something for everyone and room for every zodiac sign to flaunt their charms, especially with Leo season just around the corner. Here’s what to expect from July 2024’s most significant astrological events, and how to maximise your success during summer’s most intense month.
Main astrological aspects for July 2024
Retrogrades, conjunctions, grand trines, oppositions. Anything can happen in July! Here are some major astrological events that you can’t ignore (because missing out will be costly).
Neptune retrograde (from July 2nd)
On July 2, spiritual planet Neptune turns retrograde in the water sign of Pisces. This retrograde will last until December 7, turning your spiritual opening inward. This means that instead of needing psychic abilities to understand others, you’ll need them to understand yourself. Introspection, self-awareness, and personal growth are big themes in the coming months.
summary
- Trust your intuition: Neptune retrograde heightens your intuitive abilities, so pay close attention to your gut feelings and dreams.
- Stay grounded: To avoid getting distracted by Neptune’s foggy influence, engage in grounding activities like meditation or spending time in nature.
- Reflect and reassess: Use this time to reassess your long-term goals and dispel any illusions or unrealistic expectations.
Mercury enters Leo (July 2nd)
With Mercury entering fire sign Leo, it’s time to let your ideas literally shine. Your creativity is shining and you have a bold way of expressing yourself. With Mercury in Leo, you’ll have the ability to effortlessly be the center of attention and charm everyone around you.
summary
- Embrace bold communication: Use this time to speak with confidence and enthusiasm, and share your ideas with flair that grabs attention and inspires others.
- Showcase your creativity: Use Mercury in Leo’s creative energy to bring an innovative and artistic element to your projects and presentations to help them stand out.

Mars conjunction with Pluto (July 4th)
On July 4, Mars forms a powerful conjunction with Pluto, god of the underworld, in emotional Cancer. But fear not, as this cosmic alignment can change you for the better. Because Pluto brings change. And Mars gives Pluto the energy to make some much-needed change. All this change happening in Cancer makes them very emotional, but your tenacious spirit will show its claws.
summary
- Focus your enthusiasm: Use the powerful impetus of the Mars-Pluto conjunction to focus on meaningful projects and personal goals, turning challenges into opportunities for change.
- Practice self-control: Be mindful of impulsive actions and reactions, and use your energy constructively to avoid conflicts and power struggles.
- Embrace change: Use this connection to confront and release deep-seated fears and obstacles, and cultivate deep personal growth and resilience.
New Moon in Cancer (July 5th)
Use the New Moon in Cancer to make a fresh start and set new intentions. This New Moon illuminates your family and home, so if you’ve been wanting to redecorate or spend more quality time with your loved ones, don’t miss the opportunity. Set goals that align with your soul vibration and achieve them.
summary
- Set Intentions for Emotional Well-Being: Use the nurturing energy of the New Moon in Cancer to set an intention to prioritize your emotional health and personal safety. Reflect on what truly makes you feel safe and cared for, and make a plan to incorporate more of these elements into your life.
- Strengthen family ties: This is a great time to focus on family and home life. Plan activities that will strengthen bonds with loved ones and address any unresolved issues that may be affecting harmony in the home.
- Adopt a self-care routine: The new moon in Cancer encourages introspection and self-care. Take time for soul-healing activities like meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature. This will help you recharge and align with the nurturing energy of the moon.
Venus trine Neptune (July 11th)
If you’ve been wanting to awaken the artist within you, a trine between Venus and Neptune on July 11 will help you do just that. You’ll feel more creative and in touch with your emotions, and it’s a great time to add depth to your relationships.

- Engage in creative endeavors: Use the artistic influence of this trine to get creative. Whether it’s painting, music, writing, or any form of art, let your imagination run wild and explore new avenues of self-expression.
- Pursue Spiritual Growth: Enhance your spiritual practice through meditation, yoga, and other forms of mindfulness. This alignment supports spiritual insight and a deeper connection with your inner self and the universe.
Capricorn Full Moon (July 21st)
On July 21st, there will be a Full Moon in Capricorn, which is the perfect cosmic opportunity to successfully finish a project and remove anything that’s holding you back. If you’d like to improve your routine, you can also use the energy of this Full Moon to work on that.
summary

Grand Water Train (mid-July)
A Grand Water Trine forms between Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio, and Neptune in Pisces. This event will be at its most intense on July 16th, 17th, and 18th, and will be a divine blessing for us all. Because this event affects three water signs, it will be an emotional and deep time, encouraging you to take care of yourself and your loved ones. It is also a time to dream big and keep a realistic outlook on life. I believe this is one of the few times when Jupiter and Saturn, along with spiritual Neptune, will form such a tight team.
summary
- Embrace Emotional Healing: Use the harmonious energy of the Grand Water Trine to address and heal deep-rooted emotional issues. Engage in practices like meditation, journaling, and therapy to explore and release buried feelings.
- Enhance your intuition: Trust and develop your intuitive abilities during this time. Pay attention to your dreams, intuition, and inner guidance – these can lead to deep insights and personal growth.
- Cultivate Compassionate Connections: Strengthen relationships by practicing empathy and understanding. It’s a great time to connect deeply with those you love and offer support and compassion to those in need.
