In July, Jupiter (going direct July 10th), Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and Mars are Retrograde. The is also a Solar Eclipse July 12th and a Lunar Eclipse (July 27th) this month
The New Moon on Thursday July 12, 2018 at 20° Cancer is a partial solar eclipse.
https://astrologyking.com/solar-eclipse-july-2018-2/
A solar eclipse opposite Pluto (can intensify fears) but also indicates a desire to make a life changing transformation which at this time with the fixed star Castor (a time associated with breaking arms and legs and having a nervous breakdowns) is a time to make positive changes and not indulge in destructive habits.
A grand trine of Venus, Saturn and Uranus creates a planetary harmony which lessens the likelihood of a crisis normally associated with a solar eclipse opposite Pluto. The Venus trine Saturn is an auspicious time for relationship commitments and long-term investments. The Venus trine Uranus encourages us to try a different approach to our life. The Saturn trine Uranus is associated with dramatic but stable transformation for the better.
The full moon on July 27, 2018 at 4° Aquarius is a total lunar eclipse. (Blood Moon)
https://astrologyking.com/lunar-eclipse-27-july-2018-blood-moon/
The July 2018 lunar eclipse and Mars are located in the Head of the Sea Goat, Capricornus Constellation. (this location is associated with major storms at sea). A number of fixed stars in this region give patience and trust, but also emotional problems which will worsen the unbalanced emotions of the Moon and Mars square Uranus. This lunar eclipse will affect those born in the early 1940’s more when Pluto was in Leo.
Jupiter Retrograde March 8 at 23° Scorpio and ends on July 10 at 13° Scorpio
https://astrologyking.com/jupiter-retrograde/
Theme for this retrograde is detoxification and addressing issues that are holding back your personal and spiritual growth. This mismatching has the potential to affect your health. It is also affecting the ability in terms of wealth, love and good luck (Jupiter’s positive attributes) being able to manifest abundantly in your life.
The fixed star Unukalhai (rules the colon) pairing increases the likelihood of accidents and operations. Jupiter rules the liver. The Jupiter sextile Pluto (April 14, 2018) heralds success through positive change. (Facilitates the process of detoxification started on Full Moon of March 1st, 2018).
Saturn is retrograde in 2018 from April 17th to September 6th, 2018, in the sign of Capricorn.
http://www.lynnkoiner.com/astrology-articles/saturn-retrograde
Saturn rules the physical and psychological supports, structures and framework in our lives. During this retrograde any activities and commitments that are problematic can be restructured and long term commitments can be rearranged as activity slows down during this time. This is especially beneficial to those with Saturn in retrograde in their Natal chart where there is a tendency to say Yes when you shouldn’t agree to the terms involved. This tends to be in areas where Saturn is placed in the Astrological Houses. This is also not an ideal time to take on additional long term commitments.
Pluto is retrograde in 2018 from April 22nd to September 30th, 2018, in the sign of Capricorn.
http://www.lynnkoiner.com/astrology-articles/pluto-retrograde
This retrograde is an ideal time for concentration and seeing subconscious motivations. The focus during this time is on the internal psyche and psychological issues that affect the body. It can be a very healing time to recover from long term illnesses. It is also a time to look at life patterns and revamp ways of thinking and attitudes that are unhelpful, especially in areas of personal power.
Neptune retrograde in 2018 starts on June 18 at 16°29′ Pisces and ends on November 24 at 13°41′ Pisces.
https://astrologyking.com/neptune-retrograde/
A grand trine aspect with Mercury and Jupiter and Neptune. This is a good time for spiritual quests for truth. Neptune retrograde strips away illusions and can show the source of the pain that you are trying to escape. This can be traumatic and shocking. Some healthy ways to deal with the stress of these revelations include Yoga, Tarot, Astrology, swimming and a healthy, toxin free diet. This a time where misdiagnoses are more likely, so second opinions should sought if needed. Mercury trine Jupiter brings optimism and good news. Planning or setting off for long journeys are favored at this time. Negotiations, signing contracts and legal matters are also favored. Mercury trine Neptune stimulates your creativity, imagination, sensitivity and spirituality. Poetry, Music, Dance and Drama that embody Harmony are enhanced at this time as well as psychic abilities and intuition. Jupiter trine Neptune encourages hope, generosity and community spirit. Enlightenment can come through dreams, visions or meditation. The fixed stars during this retrograde are associated with religious matters and promote business success (Sirius at 14°19′ Cancer) and artistic ability (Alphecca 12°33′ Scorpio) and happiness and success through good morals (Achemar 5°34′ Pisces)
Mars retrograde 2018 starts on June 26 at 09°13′ Aquarius Sagittarius and ends on August 27 at 28°36′ Capricorn.
https://astrologyking.com/mars-retrograde/
Extra time is needed to take stock and make sure everything is in order before you continue. This is also a time of fated events that may trigger anger management issues. When Mars turns you direct you will be able to act on your desires. Venus opposite Mars increases sexual tension and physical desires. Release of this tension would benefit creative outlets of dance, sculpture and exercise. Mars square Jupiter exaggerates or amplifies the sexual tension. Choose fights carefully and avoid rash actions. Sun opposite Saturn blocks self-expression, during this time so solitary activities that are goal orientated help cope with this type of blockage.
