There are three planets in Retrograde for July (Pluto, Saturn and Neptune) as well as Chiron in Reverse starting July 1st in Pisces.
Pluto Retrograde – April 20 at 19° Capricorn and ends on September 28 at 16° Capricorn.
http://astrologyking.com/pluto-retrograde/
This is a time to focus on removing barriers to growth. Combined with the Jupiter Retrograde issues of greed, excess, faith or ideology are most like to be problematic. A reoccurring set of circumstances may occur with a Pluto retrograde until lessons are learned. Fear of loss of control or being manipulated or betrayed may lead to increased psychic development when Pluto in retrograde is in the birth chart. During this time power and control are important issues and need to be eliminated. Overcoming addictions or destructive behavior will help spiritual advancement.
Saturn Retrograde – April 6 at 27° Sagittarius and stations direct on August 25 at 21° Sagittarius.
http://astrologyking.com/saturn-retrograde/
During this retrograde restriction, limitation; anxiety and fear are issues to be dealt
with as well as enhancing the capacity for dealing with increased responsibilities. Depression or isolation may be issues needing solutions and if not dealt with and may require drastic actions to do begin the process.
Neptune Retrograde – June 16 2017 at 16° Pisces and ends on 22 November 2017 at 11° Pisces
http://astrologyking.com/neptune-retrograde/
During this retrograde, especially for those with a Neptune retrograde in the natal chart, it is a time associated with Karmic repercussions and soul growth. This planet’s retrograde is also associated with pandemic illnesses (from the time of the full moon on the 9th of June) and personal emotional torture such as gossip, scandal, and slander as well as religious persecution. It is important to take extra precautions for personal hygiene and protecting oneself in social situations. A Neptune retrograde when combined with the Saturn and Pluto retrogrades indicates a time associated with the misuse of power.
Neptune retrogrades are also a time of clearing of illusions to reveal the true state, which can be painful. During this retrograde it is an ideal time for doing a detox, meditation and Yoga, all things that help strengthen the access to the higher self. Suspicions may prove to be accurate and second opinions may be needed medically as it is a time of more likely misdiagnosis. It is also recommended to use herbal remedies such as Parsley as well as eating Pomegranates and oranges to strengthen the immune system. (always check for any contraindication when using herbal remedies, especially for medical conditions and when taking other herbal remedies or prescription medications).
Lynn Koiner, another astrologer, also advises the focus is more internal during a Neptune Retrograde which can be beneficial because it makes any outstanding issues easier to see than when Neptune is in direct. Avoiding stimulants, chemicals and drugs during this time is important as well as avoiding drama triggers that drain energies such as addictive personalities, psychic hot spots and drama queens. She suggests using black tourmaline to protect against negative influences and psychic attacks.
