Astrological Breakthroughs Ahead
Stardrops July 11, 2026 PDF
Hello everyone!
We have one New Moon on July 14, a Full Moon July 29, Mercury continues to be retrograde, and this is the Epic month releasing so much incredible energy to push each one of us a bit closer to a positive successful outcome we all need now.
Let’s dive in and see what is in store!
Stardrops July 10 2026 July’s entire cycles
July 10 through 12th, the Moon will cross over Uranus and Mars in Gemini.
It’s an incredible weekend surge of precision with thinking and planning out a new program for work, life, organization and logistics as to how it can get done! These Mini jump starts are always welcome. They re-align us back on track with something we may have neglected, forgotten was important to do, handle or integrate into our lives.
Before I saw this, early on the 10th, much emphasis was poured into reviewing past Affirmations I had created for myself, and really getting in touch with a greater clarity of vision for the rest of 2026. I felt urged to do this, for where I needed to be, go, do and accomplish. Definitely, this Mars/Uranus/Moon connection must have took over to reel in my next six months plans, just now!
Even if you don’t care about this right now, or don’t know, or can’t even relate, there is something about tapping into your Higher source of power, asking the questions, and stating an Affirmation for clarity and motivation, such as:
‘I AM Easily Effortlessly receiving all the wisdom, direction and clarity of my next step I must take, now..” could make all the difference.”
Know, many have been dealing with perpetual sluggish, apathetic or being in a limbo state for many years now. It’s time to shove that right out of our field and get into these strong inspiring cycles we’re going into now. The Moon/Uranus/Mars in Gemini was just the beginning!
Moving on…
July 11-13 Mercury Retro conjoins Sun – There should be felt, an increase of smart thinking, desire to get things clear, precise, mentally cut through on old tasks, new ideas, wrap things up….This energy causes us to concentrate upon very personal practical things, even in business, it would focus upon public emotions others could relate to, finding a familiarity or security and warmth in some type of offer, product or sales.
The world, is sentimental right now – reminiscent of the past, reviewing facts, pieces of information which support a better future in every way, personal, national, global. Relaying important information and feeling things are in order – counting on people to make sense – and utilize this time for important bonding talks and time spent with the people in your life that matter now. New plans could be made for the future – time spent with loved ones, children, all pay off!
July 13 Venus squares Uranus at 4* Gemini
A bit of a rattling day of interference, unexpected requests, socially awkward situations. It might just demand a bit of juggling with schedule and people – being put in an awkward situation. Stay true to your values and priorities, and try not to focus too much on the distractions.
July 12-13-14 Venus in Virgo inconjuncts Neptune and Pluto – forming a finger of God, (YOD) causing a strong need to focus upon solving some sort of social dilemma, choices are before us, possibly even financial. It’s time for and concentrating upon smart logical analytical discernment of top priorities, what truly matters, and realizing something does need to happen, get finalized….also, what you value in friendship, what really matters during these days ahead is what counts, not the inconveniences!
#1 Epic Planetary Cycle Uranus sextiles Neptune
July 13-18, peaking exact July 15
(1st of several epic planetary cycles kicking in for July – you can find detailed explanations, HERE)
#2. Epic Planetary Cycle Uranus trines Pluto
July 2025 slightly, returns strong and peaks on July 15, begins leaving July 30, 2026. (Detailed description you won’t want to miss, Link HERE)
This cycle carries an incredibly strong impetus to be liberated, to be free, break free, make a new situation, be cut free from the old – open up to a new potential for inner happiness. It is genuinely the Alchemy transit of the year!!
#3. Epic Planetary Cycle Neptune at 4* Aries sextiles Pluto at 4* Aquarius
July 20-28 – (again, please refer to link HERE for in-depth explanation of this transit)
A powerful long cycle (2025 – 2033) of opening up to ideal outcomes, realizing important dreams, etc..etc… please refer to the larger context of this Epic Cycle. We’ve been in it since one year ago, it’s very strong right now – which could offer moments of clarity, faith, belief in a gentler life – transforming situations which have previously felt stuck.
#4. Jupiter Transits supporting above planetary cycles in July only.
A. July 16- 24, exact July 20/21 Jupiter trines Neptune and opposes Pluto
This period is so nice for higher inspiring moments – rejuvenation, reprieve from a hard cycle of work or labor…..taking a break, a vacation. Observing one’s accomplishments so far and feeling so good about these outcomes. Love, kindness, friendships, caring and upliftment, especially anything related to music, cultural events, outings, artistic, spiritual and leadership quality self initiating new awareness etc…all good!
B. July 18 – 24 exact July 21 Jupiter sextiles Uranus in Gemini
In the middle of this opposition above, comes an unexpected brilliant suggestion, an opportunity to resolve something – but it appears to be outside the problem – coming from another source, a completely unique situation offering greater resolve, freedom, advancement – it’s a breakthrough, probably achieved in a meeting, a meeting of the mind with really smart person(s).
C. July 16-24, exact July 20 Jupiter in Leo 4 degrees opposes Pluto in Aquarius, 4 degrees.
Opinionated polarizing, two completely opposite opinions and cultural backgrounds are causing a rift – a separation between you and another – globally between one culture and another – The opposition of Jupiter to Pluto is the only testy part of July – causing polarizing sides, judgmental pressure in a cultural conflict, religious crisis, and expecting cultural challenge. It could also denote, a famous person is either exiting public life, or running into a strong opposition which would instigate a choice to leave, exit, or move on.
Pride, attachment, intolerance with a possible intense curiosity, how could anyone think or belief this or that way, could be incredibly strong throughout July, especially the last two weeks. Now we have covered these Epic cycles, and I do hope you accessed the PDF with the deeper explanations, as it seemed just too much to load up for you here in this post…let’s move on to the New and Full Moons, and the rest of the planetary cycles!
New Moon Theme
July 14, 2026 New Moon in Cancer
Spending more time with those you love, the ones you consider family. Investing your love now, because honestly, we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. All things involving nurturing, food, bringing greater care into these loved ones, will give them treasures they will always remember! These seems to be the Theme for our New Moon period.
Time for a new beginning with:
Targeting unresolved or sticky situations with housing, property, home and real estate…
Focusing in a deeper way, each person you love’s actual needs, longings and try to enrich them in some way.
Productive new purchases, concentration on finances, increasing, saving, storing, preserving things of value.
Targeting any sabotaging behavior, emotional patterns holding us back – any situations and activities which feel awkward and figuring out how to proceed with correcting, fixing, eliminating these broken things or old self. Shifting one’s mood into pro-action!
AFFIRMATIONS
“I AM able and willing to do what it takes to achieve this outcome!” (Name the outcome(s) you desire to achieve.)”
“Whatever I feel I must have (support, help, mentoring, friendship, money or some mechanical technical thing) in order to reach a new level of satisfaction with ____________________I believe it will come to me.”
Challenges or needs addressed with family situations, living situations, financial security needs, income and budgeting. Stabilizing, securing and increasing one’s value and worth – skill and abilities.. this is the time for rising to the occasion, and believing somehow it is successful now!
Continuation of New Moon Energies...
The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Hades are all in Cancer. In the Chart erected for the Rocky Mountains these planets are situated in the 2nd house of finance, income, one’s worth and value, one’s skills, one’s security needs, food, shelter, home/housing, and family. It impacts one’s emotional reality -” I feel……”
The Square from Saturn/Neptune is not too strong, but never the less, there. It puts pressure on this grouping of planets in Cancer, to perform better in these areas. That’s all. Just a nudge, a reminder, to get going, figure something out – don’t blow it off!
The Jupiter in Leo, trines Neptune – it is a good fortune for unexpected graces, magical moments, kindness, offers, and things in the works which provide hope a situation will change. It’s in the 3rd house trine the 11th house which means, some actual practical plan, news, information could open up a new situation for the future, soon. It will feel better, feel one has there ideal in some way.
Venus conjoin South Node in the 4th house of Cancer,
also re-enforces the situation with home/family/finances and security again. It’s saying, there is some revisiting of some Venus in Virgo tasks, or projects, care or concentration which might be ongoing for approximately two weeks, in order to feel something of worth has been handled.
Mars conjoin Uranus in Gemini, requires work on one’s mind, thoughts, limitations and some part of us might be requiring purification, stripping of old subconscious mindsets – *trine to Pluto in Aquarius in the 9th house of our beliefs)…much work could be invested in some belief paradigm shift changing and adjustments now.
Saturn’s challenge slightly square the Sun/Moon New Moon, would be to find a way to reach an outcome which you find is truly of value, and work on your attitude, clearing any beliefs, opinions or judgments limitations of thinking ….even if you don’t relate, they might be simply realistic assumptions this or that could be too hard, tasking, require the support which probably won’t come, etc…etc…. things your mind as already assumed are impossible, so put them aside.
More Planetary cycles to consider throughout July -(Yes, July is such a busy month!)
July 17 – 20, Mars in Gemini sextiles Saturn in Aries
This aspect is part of the New Moon cycle from July 14 – 30, and is so helpful for short exertions, getting out and feeling productive yet free, positive discussions, excellent communications, arrangements of nice plans, collaborations successful, sup;port and serious breakthroughs with plans or providing a helpful solution….it assists overcoming stuck situations, which are overdue in getting corrected.
July 21– 23 Venus at 14* Virgo inconjuncts Saturn at 14* Aries
Only you and a small number of people you relate to get it – however you might be required to adjust a plan, accommodate another person who is in control. It doesn’t feel right, but it’s either budget considerations, or social structure -the way something is set up – a system or platform. Adjustments are required.
If there is anything you are attempting to achieve of great importance, I would either be cautious, or not do it on these dates:
- July 13 * (social relationship conflicts, emotional adjustments, take it easy today)
- July 19-20 (watch out for polarizing with another, triggered, or unable to reach an agreement)
- July 22 (Another day of having to adjust to a potentially frustrating situation with others)
- July 27 (Feeling at odds with a person of Authority/Power in your life..a strong personality)
July 23 Mercury leaves Retrograde 16* Cancer.
Mercury moves back into a normal orbit once again – my only comment is can you think of one thing which truly got your attention during this period? Positive or challenging? What happened during these past three weeks which enlightened you, caused you to think or take action on something?
If I was to be clear about my own experience with Mercury retro in Cancer, it was taking my diet plan, food and workouts to another level of accountability – indirectly – it will ultimately bring me greater security and emotional satisfaction, which is what Mercury in Cancer was all about!
Now it is at 16*, slightly conjoining Hades – July 19 – 24, which could create a tiny shadow of something unsettling in the background right now. What do you need? How do you feel?
July 24 Mercury at 16* Cancer sextiles Venus
A day of loving supportive talks, plans, news shared – open up and connect with positive attitude and appreciation for others’ generosity or reaching out. Maybe it’s you who needs to reach out. A time for love.
July 26-27 Sun in Leo opposes Pluto at 4* Aquarius and trines Neptune at 4* Aries
A day of seeing what needs to be taken on that is a mess, dysfunctional, frustrating – a purge, throwing things out – discarding old plans, assuming a role of leadership and directing, delegating how something should be. Time to assume one’s authority, but watch out for judgmental pushy bossy behaviors, whether from you or receiving it from others! A slightly polarizing situation, but more a productive cutting through decisive moment to tackle situations not normally addressed.
July 26-27-28 Sun sextiles Uranus at 4* Gemini
Freedom and liberation from the usual routines. Time with friends, community or co-workers who feel enlightened, progressive, smart. Fun and comical adventures, opportunities for upgrading something – It could mark a time in your year of reaching at least one very important outcome you were hoping to achieve!
July 28 Venus squares Mars
For any gender, or non gender, this is typically a square which causes offense. We feel misunderstood, maybe labeled, not respected. Some injustice, criticizing might occur- fault finding and a glitch with communications. Simply shut it down, remove self from situation, find a win win – or leave.
July late 28th – through 29th – 30th. Sun conjoins Jupiter
A happy healing jovial day of successful events finally coming to fruition – Good fortune in general with money – presents, generosity and love,
Full Moon July 29-30 2026
With the Moon in Aquarius at 6* conjoin Pluto, we have a strong emotional pull to finalize something in our lives, domestic. Anything which pertains to a closure, or ending of some personal situation…something in which an emotional concern for money, or security, or Aquarius independence and freedom may have reached a peak of tolerance and now it has come to an end.
Along with this energy, the Full Moon/Pluto in Aquarius both oppose Jupiter and Sun in Leo, which provides a brand new possible opportunity for good fortune for one’s future. A new positive and exciting beginning bringing expansion, opportunity for growth. It might not be the absolute ideal situation for everyone involved, but there is a positive side to this Full Moon. Generosity, kindness, opportunity to increase one’s quality of life. It might even involve love and a decision for some.
The positive is a strong concentrating obsessive energy to produce an outcome, to deliver something. It sounds even like one is giving birth during this time, to a new dramatically different and unique thing! Could it be a home? A job, a baby, a new family situation?
The Full Moon in Aquarius also makes a wonderful trine to Uranus in Gemini and a nice sextile to Neptune in Aries. More positive good news! Feeling something has been completed, a karmic debt has been satisfied…along with breakthrough with technologies, software. Programming, AI and other tech IT issues and projects. It marks to some degree, a successful moment at reaching something which has been going on for a while, something maybe you’ve been working on, and now it is finally at the next stage of successful outcome.
The sextile helps with supportive compassionate people who are willing to show up and invest their own talents and determination into the situation.
So even though, Pluto is conjoining the Moon in Aquarius, which is definitely a challenging moment where we have to make possibly a difficult decision to end something, and embrace a new situation, because of the positive angles from these other planets, we’re in a potentially right path ultimately, to lead us where we need to go.
Stay tune as more details of this Full Moon crosses my mind, you never know…
Happy July! Christine
