The sky of July 2026
A month of reversals, revelations, and a sky charged with purpose.
July 2026 is a genuinely eventful month. Mercury limps through the tail end of its retrograde before turning direct, while Neptune and Saturn both station retrograde, slowing the atmosphere considerably. Mars ignites a cluster of powerful aspects in the first week, and Jupiter faces off against Pluto near the middle of the month. The Sun's move into Leo lifts the tone in the final third, where a bold set of late-July aspects — trine, opposition, and sextile firing almost simultaneously — brings the month to a dramatic close.

Reading the sky
Every chart you'll ever see places the Earth at its centre — just as people pictured the cosmos in antiquity. It isn't a mistake: astrology reads the sky as it appears from the ground, from where you actually stand and look up.
Here is that sky, part by part:
You, the observer, at the centre. The whole sky is drawn as it looks from where you stand.
Planets →The moving bodies — Sun, Moon and planets. Where they sit is what a chart actually plots.
Signs →The twelve slices of the zodiac, the fixed backdrop the planets move against. Each lends its style to whatever falls in it.
Houses →Twelve areas of life, fixed around the Earth. They turn the sky into a map of where things happen for you.
Angles →The turning points of the chart: the Ascendant rising on the horizon and the Midheaven overhead. They orient the whole wheel.
