July at a glance-Some notes on the rare alignments of this month.

July 2026 is not merely a month of several transits, but a moment where multiple historical conversations intersect._¹

Events occurring now may not originate in the present moment but may act as carriers of older stories, unfinished processes, dormant aspirations, collective traumas, dreams or unrealized possibilities that belong to earlier chapters of both personal and collective history. When we speak of collective history, we refer to the power of collective dreams.²

Mercury’s apparent retrograde motion in Cancer in July, is part of the process, and Jupiter is revealing or magnifying: Returning somewhere, back into the past, and walking again through the same paths and the same routes, many things will be revealed to us and will come into our awareness. Something urges us to reconnect with the source, both of the small and the great matters. Everything is interconnected. We may see old matters related to borders, treaties, national or international be re-activated. Deals and treaties being revisited, and personal familiar territory and history re-traced, while other seemingly unrelated events surface memories.

This month favours a kind of clarity, and re-connection, the nature of which, we may have not experienced before, like the moment when one half-awaken from a dream can have an absolute connection with reality and with our their, past or existence. And if the dream is not a successful metaphor, then it will be a moment of insight, a revelation of where true meaning, faith, trust, and essence are needed and found.

All of this will require effort and perseverance, but also a certain kind of inner, conscious calmness and protection from the “noise” that can distract, and is not ours, does not belong to us; it does not belong to our path, or it has only temporarily entered our lives. Great cycles meet this July, through harmonious aspects. The pressure of the last four years is decompressing and releasing energy with greater ease. Whether this is positive or negative cannot yet be determined; it will become clear both for each individual and for each collective, as every situation and position is different.
