A typical horoscope lays out what you can expect for yourself in the next week or month based on your Sun Sign. That sort of thing is great, sure… especially if you happen to be the only person on your planet. Astrology, like life in general, is a lot more complicated than “there are twelve types of people, and here’s what’s going to happen to them today.”
This “horoscope” is a listing of the major planetary aspects, ingresses, and events for July 2018. Each aspect is described below, with the date the aspect is exact and a “+/-” which indicates the number of days that aspect will be most in effect. Generally, the closer to the exact date, the more pronounced the effect of the transit. And of course, as with everything else in life: your mileage may vary.
But first, a word about aspects in general. Conjunctions, squares and oppositions can all be difficult. They generate the sort of energy that can get all up in your face and is hard to ignore, but it’s hard to get much done in life without the raw energy they supply. Trines and sextiles are helpful and constructive, but it’s easy to miss out on the opportunities they provide unless you make an effort. And a quincunx? Well, that’s just plain odd.
July 1, 2018 Venus quincunx Pluto
(+/- 4 days) You love it, you want it, you’ve got to have it… just don’t break any windows trying to get it, okay?
July 2, 2018 Mercury quincunx Saturn
(+/- 3 days) You may find yourself struggling to be heard, or unable to find the right words, or otherwise just having a hard time getting your point across.
July 5, 2018 Sun trine Jupiter
(+/- 3 days) Positive vibes and a possible party atmosphere.
July 5, 2018 Mercury opposite Mars
(+/- 3 days) You might have the urge to speak up forcefully. Make sure you’re also speaking up wisely.
July 8, 2018 Sun trine Neptune
(+/- 3 days) Your place in life gets a little hazy, but not necessarily in a bad way.
July 9, 2018 Mercury square Jupiter
(+/- 3 days) You have a lot to say, and important opinions to share. Now, please resist the urge to shout those opinions through a megaphone, okay?
July 11, 2018 Venus trine Uranus
(+/- 5 days) Try something new and different… you might like it!
July 12, 2018 Sun opposite Pluto

July 16, 2018 Mercury quincunx Pluto

July 24, 2018 Venus opposite Neptune
(+/-5 days) Attractions are strong, but don’t expect them to be practical. “’To each his own,’ the woman said as she kissed her cow…”

July 27, 2018 Venus trine Pluto
