General for Week Commencing: Monday 20 July 2026
Aries    Aries Monday 20 July 2026  Mar 21 - Apr 19
Three weeks after his return to a playful and creative part of your chart and ahead of the Sun’s return on Thursday, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto this side of life’s fence, Jupiter begins the week at a friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams and the timing couldn’t be better. This is giving you the confidence to follow your heart and your dreams, to a point where it borders on hubris or being guilty of going through life with your rose coloured glasses on. However, this is not only being backed up by planets that will ensure that when needed, you will be able to keep it real and your feet on the ground while giving you the motivation to get the most out of the final seven days of the lunar nodes 18 month policing of how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. With the year already showing signs of getting busier, until the lunar nodes leave next Monday, they are working to keep things balanced. After that you’re on your own.
 
Taurus    Taurus Monday 20 July 2026  Apr 20 - May 20
The week begins with the Moon and Jupiter both in the right place at the right time and while independently of each other bring a similar message. The new working week not only begins with the Moon in your work sector, but by the time it leaves on Wednesday it will have formed a friendly aspect to both planets in your career sector and all three planets in your income sector. As well as getting the week off to an empowered start on the income, work and career fronts, this is a practice run for when Venus returns next month. However, at the same time, the Moon will also get pushback from all three planets in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, putting how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test. This comes just as three weeks after his return to your home and family sector, Jupiter is not only ready to push back and make demands when it comes to your work/life balance, but ahead of the lunar nodes' return to begin their 20 month policing of your work/life balance next week.
 
Gemini    Gemini Monday 20 July 2026  May 21 - Jun 21
In a week that has a bit of everything, the final week of the lunar nodes 18 month policing of your work/life balance is going to be an advantage, though also something that is going to sit quietly in the background without dominating things. If there were going to be any work/life balance tension or issues, it would have been when the Moon crossed them for the last time last Friday. Meanwhile, until the North Node leaves your career sector next Monday, you not only have access to its sense of professional direction, but this will be especially important when the Moon moves through your work sector from Wednesday to Friday. It is while the Moon is here that the Sun will leave your income sector on Thursday and Mercury will turn direct there on Friday, taking the brakes off the income side of the financial fence. Meanwhile, while the lunar nodes are still policing your work/life balance, this will make it easier to embrace a powering up of the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence during the first two days of the working week.
 
Cancer    Cancer Monday 20 July 2026  Jun 22 - Jul 22
It is during the final days of your birthday month that the majority of themes that will dominate the coming year will be on display, with all the major planets where they will be for the coming year and relationships formed that will set the tone, either already established or in the process of forming. One of those relationships is between the planets on opposite sides of the financial fence, with the Sun still in Cancer when they go head to head. Three weeks after his return to your income sector to begin your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade, Jupiter is moving into an opposition with Pluto in your financial sector that will peak on Tuesday and to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment that will peak there on Wednesday. By the time the Sun leaves on Thursday, you will have a read on a rivalry that will continue to not only help to maintain the right balance between money coming in and money going out but is going to empower both sides of the financial fence. Meanwhile, home, communication and time to breathe are emerging as important themes.
 
Leo    Leo Monday 20 July 2026  Jul 23 - Aug 22
While the Sun won’t return to Leo to begin your birthday month and new solar year until Thursday, Venus has not only already moved through, but three weeks after his return to begin a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion, Jupiter is making his presence felt. Jupiter has returned to open new doors and over the next 12 months, help you lay down the foundations for major new beginnings and the path that the future will take. It is also this week that as was the case when Venus moved through, Jupiter is facing pushback from Pluto, the planet of change and transformation on the other side of the sky. While this might create some tension or pressure, it is just new growth coming up against old roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. That this comes just as Jupiter’s friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in an adventurous part of your chart peaks is giving you the confidence to see this as part of the journey that you are embarking on. Whenever we try and make big changes, we are going to be challenged, for the status quo has a powerful suction.
 
Virgo    Virgo Monday 20 July 2026  Aug 23 - Sep 22
While the Moon left Virgo over the weekend, as it only left on Sunday, this was always going to help you begin the week emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start. However, while your birthday month and new solar year is still over a month away and the month long wind down of this current solar year doesn’t even begin until Thursday, when the Moon returned late last week it was to find Venus already here. While Venus is here for four weeks, she will have been and gone by the time the Sun returns, giving you a jump on your new solar year while, in the short term, able to begin the week with heart and gut on the same page. This will make it easier to manage a week that will not only get off to an empowered start on the income, work and career fronts, but with Jupiter laying down the law when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. This will also make it easier to manage the final week of the lunar nodes monitoring of a balance between your own and your relationship needs.
 
Libra    Libra Monday 20 July 2026  Sep 23 - Oct 23
A week on from starting last week with the Sun and Mercury aligned in your career sector, while they are still in your career sector, they are moving in opposite directions, away from each other and with different timeframes and agendas. Until leaving on Thursday, the Sun not only has the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options, but on the road ahead, while in retrograde motion and with the brakes on ahead of a direct turn on Friday, Mercury’s smart and practical influence is more focused on what can be gained or learnt by looking back. Meanwhile, before the Sun can join Jupiter in your friendship sector on Thursday, the week is getting off to an empowered start when it comes to friendship and relationship building, while a powering up of the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence continues. With things also powering up on the income, work and career fronts and especially from Wednesday to Friday, having some work/life balance guardrails will be an advantage.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio Monday 20 July 2026  Oct 24 - Nov 21
With the Sun leaving your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on Thursday and after 18 months the North Node not only leaving a playful and creative part of your chart next Monday, but with no planets returning until next year, there is a certain amount of urgency developing. Helping with their efforts on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence and especially with this professional year powering up, are two clashes with a similar theme. Before the Sun can join Jupiter in your career sector on Thursday, the planet of luck and expansion begins the week at a friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in your work sector. Yet this comes just as there is pushback from the planets in your home and family sector, bringing some timely work/life balance reminders. This comes just as the Moon begins the week in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, where until leaving on Wednesday it will be delivering its monthly reminder when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius Monday 20 July 2026  Nov 22 - Dec 21
A friendly aspect between Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion and Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams is a major and stunning aspect and peaking on Monday, gets the week off to a magical start. While this last happened in 2018, never in our lifetime has it happened while Jupiter is in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and Neptune is in a playful and creative part of your chart, where they both will be for the next 12 months. Neptune is just one of the three planets that will be there to support Jupiter until he leaves in July 2027, making this just the start of a major powering up of the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. The key to getting the most out of this is to leave the reality checks for now, for the nature of these two planets coming together is pure hubris and pie in the sky, but behind this are planets that can back this up. If you are prepared to dream it, you have the resources to do it. Meanwhile, life is going to intrude, there are jobs to be done, bills to be paid and life to navigate, but this is putting a bright ring around everything.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn Monday 20 July 2026  Dec 22 - Jan 19
Until Pluto left Capricorn in November 2024, there had been near continuous planetary activity in your sign for 16 years, which meant no planet was able to move through your relationship sector without clashing. As the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of July in your relationship sector and this is the time of year when the focus is going to be on your relationships, in the past this has been challenging. This year, as the Sun gets ready to leave and take the solar spotlight off your relationships on Thursday, apart from the Full Moon at the end of last month, there have been no challenges. Instead, with the North Node not leaving your communication sector until next Monday and Mercury, the planet of communication in retrograde motion in your relationship sector until Friday, but then not leaving until next month, there is nothing but support. Meanwhile, when the Sun returns to your financial sector on Thursday, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your financial situation and money matters, it will be to find Jupiter’s quest for financial growth and expansion already underway.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius Monday 20 July 2026  Jan 20 - Feb 18
A week before the lunar nodes are set to return to begin their 20 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs next Monday and three weeks after his return to your relationship sector, Jupiter is experiencing pushback from both planets in Aquarius. While this is something that Venus experienced when she returned last month and the Sun will experience when he returns on Thursday, they are moving through, while Jupiter is here until July 2027. This is laying down the gauntlet, with Pluto, who returned to Aquarius in November 2024, making sure that as you enter your biggest relationship year in over a decade, it is not at the expense of your personal needs and priorities. Helping to turn this into an opportunity and to put things on the right path from the start is Jupiter’s friendly aspect to Neptune in your communication sector that will peak on Monday. Neptune is just one of the three planets that will be in your communication sector and actively supporting Jupiter over the next 12 months.
 
Pisces    Pisces Monday 20 July 2026  Feb 19 - Mar 20
From the start, the most important theme this week is balance and it is showing up across multiple aspects of your life. On the one hand, when the Moon left your relationship sector on Sunday, it not only wrapped up its only visit while Venus, the planet of love is here, but its last before the lunar nodes end their 18 month monitoring of a balance between your own and your relationship needs next Monday. On the other hand, a week before the lunar nodes shift to beginning a 20 month monitoring of how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off, this is something that a clash between Jupiter and Pluto is already putting a light on. This is only an issue because the week begins with a friendly aspect between Neptune and Jupiter that is powering things up on the income and job fronts in a way that is going to continue, just as the Sun is getting ready to leave a playful and creative part of your chart on Thursday. The richer life becomes, the more important a need for balance becomes.
