Just when you thought you had life handled, July dishes up a hot pile of eclipses and retrogrades. The good news is that you’re already in Mars, Pluto, and Saturn retrograde and only have Chiron and Mercury to gird yourself against. The best advice for retrogrades isn’t resistance but attunement and patience. The Cosmos may make it clear—especially with Mars Rx and Mercury Rx—that the Universe isn’t really concerned with our plans, to-do lists, or egocentric needs for gold stars or linear paths.
We may do best to focus on what is working, which may be wherever Jupiter (going direct on July 10) lights up your chart. We’ve got two eclipses, which translate as more monumental, path-altering New and Full Moons, which fall on July 12 and 27, respectively.
The Full Moon of July 27 looks especially robust and unpredictable; an equal opportunity wake-up call to say hello to a whole new way of living. It seems everything is trying to cue us into our blind spots or missteps so we can live more consciously and enjoy a richer life. So invite every struggle with open arms and ask what it is trying to show you. And who knows, it could be amazing!
