2026: July - The Future Starts Now

Astrologers all over the world - and psychics too - are saying that the second half of 2026 will be completely different from the first half. Most years just drift along with the later months bringing the consequences of the earlier months. Sometimes, the second half of the year just seems to repeat the theme of the first half. Not this year!

With a Mars Uranus conjunction (which began during the final week of June), this is the month that everything has been leading up to since late 2025. A Mars Uranus conjunction represents a highly volatile, explosive, and unpredictable influence. It signifies a clash between assertion and rebellion, often manifesting as sudden breakthroughs, conflicts, or systemic disruptions. 

This planetary aspect is historically associated with an escalation in public unrest, protests, and geopolitical conflicts. Mars rules action, war, and aggression, while Uranus rules revolution, upheaval, and sudden shocks. It is often linked to unexpected technological failures, mechanical breakdowns, fires, and accidents involving transportation or modern infrastructure. National - or international - leadership can face sudden changes, scandals, or challenges to authority. Interestingly, this aspect will be exact on 4th July - the day the USA celebrates its 250th Anniversary. The energy of the Mars Uranus conjunction will also act as a catalyst for rapid advances connected to technological, scientific breakthroughs and human rights.

THE FOUR FOURS

Imagine the scene: four planets, in four signs, each at four degrees. During a two week period - 10th to 28th July 2026 - this spectacular planetary line-up will take place forming an astrological configuration involving three sextiles, two trines and one opposition. The four planets are Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter. The signs they occupy are Aquarius, Aries, Gemini and Leo. These smooth aspects indicate that  obstacles will be removed, and events will flow very quickly. So, let's break it down and take a look at what these planetary connections mean:

Transiting Pluto will be exactly sextile transiting Neptune. This aspect has been around since the 20th December 1942 and won't separate until 2038. It represents spiritual and psychological evolution and enlightenment. 

In a trine aspect to Uranus, transiting Pluto means the collective experiences a period of powerful breakthroughs that lead to lasting, positive change. It signals an era where society breaks free from outdated systems and steps into more enlightened future. Instead of chaotic destruction or revolutions, the changes happen in a way that feels natural, uplifting, and inspiring. Society easily adopts revolutionary new technologies. This could bring revolutionary medical treatments or radical progress in how the world connects and communicates.

Transiting Jupiter opposite transiting Pluto in Mundane Astrology (the astrology of world events) represents a tug-of-war between expansion and destruction. It will trigger massive cultural shifts in connection to wealth, power, and ideology. As society faces high-stakes power struggles, leaders will be forced to back up their ambitious visions with real action. Also, Jupiter is the planet of law and Pluto is the planet of criminal activity. So, a real fight for justice is on the way. Prepare for the exposure of secrets.....

Transiting Jupiter in a sextile aspect to transiting Uranus will bring a period of global progress and unexpected innovations.in science, technology, or space exploration. Shifts in politics, laws, or civil rights that push humanity toward greater freedom and equality. Sudden positive changes in the international economy, leading to open-mindedness, optimism and a desire to explore new horizons. The human race is about to take a giant leap forward.

In a trine to transiting Neptune, Jupiter will spark a rise in idealism, empathy, spirituality and a desire for social justice. Compassion, mass movements for charity, environmental issues, and human rights will gain extra support. There will be a collective surge in mysticism, philosophy, and alternative belief systems. 

Transiting Uranus sextile transiting Neptune represents an era of major cultural awakenings, spiritual awareness and technological innovation. This will herald a time when traditional systems of politics or religion will be questioned. 

The configuration involving Pluto, Uranus and Neptune will be around until approximately 2030. Pluto and Uranus will be in a trine aspect five times between now and 2028, and there will be three sextiles between Uranus and Neptune between now and 2027. 

What's happening in July 2026 is just the beginning of a wonderful new experience which will unfold over the next few years. A professional astrologer whose work I admire and respect very much says that, by the end of this year, 90% of the world's problems will be over. That is one hell of a claim to make and if anyone else had said it, I would have dismissed it completely. But this particular astrologer has been doing research for 40 years - as opposed to my 30 years - so, I'm backing this prediction. The future starts now.
