The simplified profile of planetary aspects reaching a peak in the month of July is: 0 conjunctions, 2 oppositions, 6 trines, 4 squares. As in the previous month, this simplified profile is mirroring the classic battle between the trines and the squares.
But, as stated for June, "there is another factor which is slowly building up, and that factor is the close approach of a major aspect that will not actually achieve exactness -- namely, Uranus square Pluto". For the month of July, that aspect will be less than 2 degrees from exactness, aided and abetted by Uranus itself going stationary in both declination (on the 8th) and longitude (on the 9th). The Uranus-Pluto square will be only slightly more than 1 degree from exactness by the end of the month.
The first major planetary aspect peaking in July is Mercury parallel Mars, which peaks at about midday. It will tend to increase the force of any communications made on that date. However, peaking in the afternoon/evening, Sun 1/4 Saturn will tend to put a damper on virtually anything that arises at that time -- except perhaps for serious issues, which may be reinforced.
By the way, it should probably be mentioned here that Mercury crosses into the sign of Leo on the 1st and Venus crosses into the sign of Cancer on the 3rd. That should add emphasis to expressions of one of the Seven Basic Postulates of this universe -- the Basic Postulate of Guardianship. The higher-harmonic sign associated with that Basic Postulate is Leo, and the lower-harmonic is Cancer. So, beginning early in July, that influence can be expected to manifest with a bit more gusto, lasting until roughly the end of the month when that dual-planet positioning changes. Among the factors that should increasingly find their way into the news are stories featuring teams and families, especially involving children.
The 4th of July features two planetary trines. Venus 1/3 Neptune peaks at about midday, bringing a generally soft friendly feeling. And then Mercury 1/3 Uranus peaks in the afternoon/evening, bringing fresh new ideas and interesting communications. But peaking at about midday on the 5th, Mercury 1/4 Jupiter can magnify the severity of any accidents (fireworks-related or otherwise) that occurred recently.
(Note: The precise timings of the aspects for July 4 can be seen on the sample aspect page which is posted during the month of June at www.newstandardaspectarian.com.)
Peaking in the wee hours of the 6th, Mars 1/3 Saturn tends to slow down all kinds of activities, but in a harmonious way.
On the 7th, Jupiter 1/3 Pluto peaks early in the morning, emphasizing wide-ranging activities involving such things as health, spaciousness, add-ons to existing structures, the status of national leaderships, etc. Peaking at about midday, Venus goes stationary in declination, emphasizing the factors of balance, subjectivity, music, femininity, etc. Peaking in the afternoon, Venus 1/4 Uranus emphasizes surprises and bizarre occurrences; because of the signs those two planets are in (Cancer, for families, and Aries, for sound), there may be a showing of the movie "The Sound of Music". Peaking late in the evening, Jupiter 2/11 Neptune adds some fuzziness or confusion to just about anything.
Uranus goes stationary in declination in the wee hours of the 8th, generating an atmosphere of newness and surprise. Mercury parallel Pluto peaks early in the morning, helping people make detailed complex plans, write speeches, contact others to coordinate their activities, etc. Venus 1/2 Pluto peaks in the afternoon/evening, making people feel irritated, edgy, and even combative; emotions tend to be inharmonious.
Peaking in the wee hours of the 9th, Sun parallel Mars adds energy and movement to people's activities -- and loudness to their voices. And then, peaking in the afternoon/evening, Uranus goes stationary-retrograde in Aries, making the expression of energy and movement more unpredictable without regard to good/bad considerations; newness is in the air.
Peaking in the wee hours of the 13th, Venus 1/4 Saturn casts a strong downer atmosphere over everything; feelings/emotions/attitudes tend toward gloom and doom. Jupiter 3/7 Saturn peaks the following morning (the 14th), contrasting the ebullience and vitality of Jupiter against the comparative emptiness of Saturn. Both Jupiter and Saturn are in signs reflecting the Basic Postulate which is sometimes referred to as the Principle of Universal Balance (Jupiter is in Taurus and Saturn is in Libra), and so one of the factors which will probably be emphasized at this time is the factor of balance/imbalance. For example, people may focus more than usual on how much they weigh or how much time they spend with their family.
Venus parallel Mars peaks in the wee hours of the 16th, emphasizing (among other things) the romantic side of life; emotions are stronger. Then, peaking in the afternoon, Jupiter 1/11 Uranus emphasizes surprises which will generally be unwelcome at this time. (The entire "1/11" family of aspects -- "1/11", "2/11", "3/11", etc. -- generally seems to spawn inharmonious influences.)
Peaking in the afternoon/evening of the 19th, Mercury parallel Jupiter tends to make thinking and communicating a pleasure. Short trips abound.
Peaking in the evening of the 21st, Mercury parallel Neptune tends to ease/facilitate thinking and communicating. Inspirations abound.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 27th, Sun 1/3 Uranus freshens the atmosphere and brings newness to long drawn-out projects. New ideas seem to crop up everywhere -- especially as novel ways of doing routine things.
Sun parallel Pluto peaks in the afternoon of the 28th, tending to make complicated things more compatible, more amenable to handle. Group projects benefit from this influence. The work of committees tends to dominate over the relatively isolated work of individuals. However, as the day wears on -- and especially in the evening -- Mercury 1/2 Neptune clouds the thinking and judgement and introduces confusion into any connectivities that are attempted. In order to avoid miscommunications, take an extra few moments to increase your focus at this time.
Peaking in the evening of the 31st, Venus 1/3 Uranus tends to echo the Sun-Uranus trine of the 27th, bringing widespread feelings of newness.
It would be tempting to say that July ends with a pleasant atmosphere. But in fact August starts out with a Sun-Jupiter square peaking in the morning of its first day -- which of course manifests significantly on the last day of July, especially in the evening. The complex workings of Universal Law do not always correspond to our personal desires.
