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.

One of the most intriguing mysteries is the disappearance of pioneering pilot Amelia Earhart. There are reports suggesting that wreckage of her plane may have been found. She disappeared on July 2, 1937. A deep-sea drone conducted searches between September and December 2023. The Lunar Eclipse of last October falls on her Ascendant degree, 04 Taurus. Her mysterious disappearance is indicated by her natal Venus-Neptune conjunction, and with Pisces on the cusp of the 12th house, the oceanic environment is emphasized. The Solar Eclipse that occurred a month before her disappearance (see chart below) is on her natal Venus-Neptune conjunction. The 12th house is ruled by Jupiter and co-rulerd by Neptune. Transit Jupiter is approaching Uranus in her 1st house, this coming April. Aircrafts are ruled by Uranus. We also see her progressed Sun in a sextile with progressed Jupiter, is truth coming to light about her disappearance? The period the recent research was conducted, transit Mercury was retrograde in Sagittarius, in the 8th and 9th house of her natal chart. Let’s wait for the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in late April, we may have the revelation. The story of this brave woman is very intriguing, and we also see how an astrological chart highlights events for research even after death. (Astrology is a very useful tool).

To be present – A new beginning

As the world’s timer switch marks the end of one calendar year and the beginning of a new one, we automatically enter a position of temporary pause, in anticipation, a crossing, a threshold that has to do with experience. Our personal and collective rituals and all that we habitually do at this point in time become perceptions, turn our vision inwards and into the future, depending on our vantage point. Collective moments of a ‘ritual’ and a kind of initiation process, coordinated with greater intensity with two extreme poles of experience (togetherness and distance). The experiences that unite us, that bring us closer, and those that divide and alienate us. Those we move away from, or leave behind, and those we are going to or wishing to encounter. So, this moment, regardless of the proximity and distance that distinguishes it, is an in-between space, surrounded by wishes, with several messages; some seem fake and superficial, some hold true meaning. Nevertheless, the end of the year feels like a good moment for personal decisions or resolutions to be made. We feel more strongly that the future is in front of us, and the question of how this may be viewed, predicted, controlled and defined becomes more pertinent.

Astrology does not necessarily align with this timer as it studies celestial bodies that are in constant motion, represent energy, the way it is expressed, and how this may correlate with terrestrial events and human behavior. Astrology is more closely aligned with the changes of the seasons, the Solstices and Equinox points. A marked change of temperament and the way life is organized and lived, is certainly more evident at the start of every season.

Therefore, the end of each calendar year holds as much of its own unique significance as any other date in time, in the same way that each birth or beginning captures something potentially unique. Through this perspective, nothing really ends, yet something new is born that carries potential and evolves over time. Every moment in time is telling a story about a potentiality. If we truly feel the significance of this, then every moment we potentially have the power to change something, it can be as small as our mood, and as big as a radical change in our mindset, relationships, vocation or lifestyle. What is required for this to feel meaningful, is being present, heart, mind, body and soul.
