Astrological Monthly Forecast July 2023
July 2023 is a cosmic roller coaster of many astrological events affecting all of us.
With shift of the lunar nodes from July 18, 2023, a new cycle in our evolution begins.
At the beginning of 2023, the planetary heavyweights Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto have changed sign, showing that we as humanity are at a turning point.
The years 2023 to 2026 are marked by a major shift, because during these years, the other big planetary boys Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will change sign as well.
Towards the Age of Aquarius, the focus is increasingly on justice and equality, regardless of age, race, gender and color. Less judgmental, more accepting. Although many changes have already been made, we are not there yet.
A new society, a new economy, a different vision, a different frequency.
Technological developments and in particular artificial intelligence will take off and will change the wolrad forever.
The old worldview is shifting…
A new Age of Enlightenment?
The Aquarius era has already started with the shift of Pluto in Aquarius from March 2023, but for now, due to retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, we are still in a transition period that is dominated by revelations and further breakdown of hierarchical structures.
Pluto’s penultimate retrograde in Capricorn through January 21, 2024 shows the last convulsions of the old world, a decentralization of existing power, old traditional structures, such as government structures and power structures, are increasingly crumbling.
Big names disappear from the world stage or fall from grace like politicians, billionaires and famous personalities.
Until September 2023, retrograde Pluto in Capricorn will square the North Node in Aries, which can be seen as a great cosmic clean-up that will pave the way for Pluto’s final transit in Aquarius from November 2024.
This profound process of transformation is very slow, but over time the new world under Pluto in Aquarius will take shape, more and more.
We stand at the dawn of a new, modern world, on our way to 2025, the Age of Aquarius.
Now, let’s go back to July 2023….
The Full Moon in Capricorn of July 3, 2023 at 0º19 in the Earth sign of Capricorn is about letting go of old patterns and letting go of what was, especially when it comes to societal expectations.

In the first week of July 2023, Venus and Mars in Leo form a square with Uranus in Taurus and Mercury in Cancer opposite retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, creating a tense atmosphere and that is mainly about society expectations.

From July 18, 2023, just after the New Moon in Cancer, the Nodes will shift to the Aries/Libra axis of polarity, the axis of connection.
In the next 18 months it will be about individuality versus relationships, both on a personal and business level. Alone or together. Life goes in cycles, so do the Lunar nodes.
Choices from 18/19 years ago come back in the form of life lessons that we can reap the benefits of, whether they are sweet or sour.

Unresolved issues in relationships and self-esteem must be addressed.
Venus Retrograde in Leo takes us back in time.
In the summer of 2015, Venus was also retrograde in Leo. Venus in Leo is about giving and receiving love, about being accepted or not in our unique BEING. What has changed since then in relationships and in how we are allowed to express our uniqueness in society?
Many people feel misunderstood by the moralizing society. The likelihood of demonstrations, manifestations and resistance to traditional relationships will increase during this retrograde.
With the Sun in the fiery and creative realm of King Leo from July 24, 2023, the sentiment changes, but Mercury in Leo will square Uranus in Taurus and that can lead to mental restlessness, communication breakdown, loss of concentration and misunderstandings in the last week of July 2023.
In the last week of July 2023, retrograde Pluto in Capricorn squares the North Node in Aries.
This will be exact around July 24, 2023, so a cesspool can be opened then.
Retrograde Pluto in Capricorn squares the North Node in Aries is about saying goodbye to an era or phase of life, a turning point in our lives. A political, economic or social change has a major impact on all of us. Hypocrisy, taboos, corruption, pollution, sexual abuse, power and control, obsessions, fixations and our dark side, everything is now coming to light.
Anyone with ascendant or Sun or other planets at 27º in Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn or at 3º in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius is going through major changes, whether or not directly or indirectly related to what’s going on in the world as a whole.
At the end of July 2023, Mercury shifts to Earth Virgo and then slows down to go retrograde at the end of August 2023. Retrograde Venus in Leo in conjunction with retrograde Neptune in Pisces can disrupt this mental focus, leading to blind trust, naivety and inaccurate perceptions of others, doubt, wishful thinking and dilemmas.
The second Mercury retrograde of 2023 in August and September 2023 can lead to strikes, reorganization, redundancies and extreme weather conditions, transport or infrastructure problems, delays and interruptions in daily life, in the field of care and welfare and employment.
More on that next month!
I wish you all an inspiring month of July!
