Saturn turns retrograde (slows down and starts moving backward) in Aries on July 26, right on your 1st house (you, your body, how you show up), asking you to slow down and rebuild the routine that has been wearing you out. Mercury is also moving backward in Cancer the whole window from June 29 through July 23, which sits on your 4th house (home and family), so household plans and family talk stay a little wobbly until Mercury turns direct on July 23. Once it does, the static clears fast.

Aries July 2026 dates. Mercury Retrograde Jun 29 to Jul 23 in your 4th house (home and family), so household plans stay slippery until Jul 23. Mars in your 3rd house (talk, siblings, short trips, daily errands) all month, pushing your voice. Venus moves into your 4th house on Jul 4, warmth at home. New Moon in your 4th house Jul 14, soft home reset. Sun enters your 5th house (romance, creativity, play) Jul 22. Mercury Direct Jul 23. Saturn Retrograde in Aries (your 1st house) Jul 26, body and routine review. Sun meets Jupiter in your 5th house Jul 27 to 29, the brightest creative and romantic days of your year. Full Moon in your 11th house (friends and community) Jul 28.
Saturn stations retrograde in Aries on July 26, at roughly 14 to 15 degrees of your own sign. Saturn has been in your 1st house of identity, body, vitality, and life direction since 2025, and the station is the moment Saturn asks you to look back at the structure you built and rework the parts that are not actually holding you up. The last week of July is the time to cancel the gym membership you never use and join the one two blocks from your apartment, to swap the morning workout for the evening one if the body is begging you to sleep in, to push the doctor visit on the calendar instead of postponing it again. Neptune is also in Aries all month, so you may find yourself blurrier than usual on the days you skip meals or short the sleep. Sun and Mercury are both in Cancer in your 4th house of home, family, parents, and the place you live for the first three weeks, and Mercury is retrograde there from June 29 through July 23. Expect a parent to call out of the blue, the lease question to come back around, the sibling group text to flare up about an old family thing.
Mid-month is the pivot. Mars is in Gemini all of July, in your 3rd house of communication, siblings, neighbors, short trips, learning, and writing. The pace of the inbox and the phone picks up, the neighborhood errand list gets longer, and the conversations with siblings and close cousins get louder. A short trip lands on the calendar. A piece of writing you put down in May asks to be picked back up. The New Moon on July 14-15 lands in Cancer in your 4th house, in the same week as the Mercury retrograde peak, so it is a sensitive emotional week at home. Cook the dinner. Call the parent before they call you. Light a candle and sit on the couch. This New Moon is the seed for the next six months of how home feels.
The end of the month is the loud, warm stretch you have been hoping for. Mercury stations direct on July 23 in Cancer, and from that day the home conversations clear, the family question gets answered, and the lease or the housing decision settles. Around July 27 to 29, the Sun meets the growth planet in Leo in your 5th house of creativity, romance, dating, children, hobbies, and play. This is the once-a-year cazimi, the brightest day of that planet's whole year in Leo, and it is settling in here for the next twelve months. Book the dinner with the person you have been thinking about. Sign up for the painting class. Pitch the creative project. The Full Moon on July 28-29 lights up Aquarius in your 11th house of friendships, networks, communities, and online presence, and a friend group conversation or a community decision comes to a head. People who love you are nearby right now, and the year ahead in your 5th house is the most fun this part of your chart has had in over a decade.
The first three days of July keep Venus in Gemini and your 3rd house of communication, so the flirty texts and long voice memos finish what they started in late June. On July 4, Venus enters Cancer and your 4th house of home and family, and the romance moves to the kitchen table. You cook dinner for someone, host the brunch, invite the new person over instead of meeting out. If you are partnered, the conversation about moving in, redecorating, or hosting the in-laws gets warmer this week. Mercury is retrograde in Cancer from June 29 through July 23, so an ex might message or an old conversation might restart, but the prompt is not always a green light. Read it twice before replying. Jupiter is in Leo all month in your 5th house of romance, dating, hobbies, and play, settling in for the year ahead. The cazimi on July 27-29 is the brightest single window for love this whole year, especially if you are single. Book the date that week. On July 29, Venus enters Leo too, so the last two days of July are warm, generous, and easy. Send the message.
Mars is in Gemini all of July, in your 3rd house of communication, short trips, writing, and learning, so the work that moves fastest this month is the work that involves words. Pitch the email. Send the proposal. Book the short trip to meet the client. Sun and Mercury are both in Cancer and your 4th house through the first three weeks, and Mercury is retrograde from June 29 through July 23, so any work-from-home setup needs a check. Back up the files, fix the wifi, confirm the meeting times. The inbox stays loud all month with Mars in your 3rd house, a coworker keeps pinging, and the project you put down in June lands back on your desk in a new email thread. Block the calendar for deep work. Mercury stations direct on July 23 in Cancer, and from that day the home-office setup, the family-and-work boundary, and the late-running contracts all settle. The cazimi on July 27-29 in your 5th house is a strong moment to pitch a creative project, launch a side hustle around play, or post the thing you have been quietly building.
Saturn stations retrograde in your own sign on July 26 at about 14 degrees, which means your 1st house of body and vitality gets a structural review. Whatever workout routine, sleep schedule, or eating pattern you built in the last twelve months is up for revision now. The routine that worked in February may not be the right one for July. Listen to what the body is asking for instead of forcing the old plan. Neptune is also in Aries all month, so you will be more sensitive to skipped meals, late nights, alcohol, and caffeine. Drink the water and protect the sleep. With Mars in Gemini in your 3rd house, the mental load and the inbox volume can spike, so the screen breaks and short walks matter more than usual. The cazimi weekend on July 27-29 is fun and warm, but the growth planet expands what it touches, so watch the dessert intake and the drinks at the party. Plan a quiet morning after the Full Moon on July 29 to let the body catch up.
Most apps read your sun sign. We read your birth chart. Every planet, every house, every aspect. Today's sky against yours.
Saturn has been in Aries since 2025, building structure in your body, identity, and life direction. The retrograde station at about 14 degrees Aries on July 26 is when Saturn asks you to look back at the routine you built and rework the parts that are not holding up. Cancel the gym membership you never use, swap the morning workout for the evening, and book the medical appointment you keep postponing.
Mercury retrograde sits in your 4th house of home and family for the whole window from June 29 through July 23, in Cancer the entire time. The retrograde does not stop the conversation, but it does ask you to listen more than talk and to re-read every text before sending. Old family stuff will resurface. Let it. The conversations get cleaner once Mercury stations direct in Cancer on July 23.
It is the brightest day of the whole year for one part of your chart. For Aries, that part is romance, creativity, dating, and play — the part of you that flirts, pitches, and goes after the spark. Jupiter, the planet astrologers call the lucky one, just moved into Leo for the next twelve months, and July 27-29 is the peak day of that whole year. This is the window to book the date you have been thinking about, pitch the creative project, take the chance.
