Planets Retrograde In July 2022

There Will Be Three Planets Retrograde in July, But It’s Not All Doom and Gloom

There haven’t been this many retrograde planets in the cosmos since January.

I hope you enjoyed the hiatus, because July is bringing retrogrades back to the cosmos with a bang, and just in time for your summer vacation *cue collective groans*. It’s not all bad, though, since retrogrades tend to be a time where you’re called to review, revise, and re-visit certain themes in your life that are potentially outdated or in need of some new, refreshing energy. You’re getting plenty of opportunities to do so, too, because three planets will be retrograde in the sky for July 2022.

While retrogrades can cause some discomfort, they ultimately bring forth the biggest life lessons, and challenge you to grow and evolve as a person. The good thing is, since the planets retrograding in July will be outer planets, you don’t have to brace yourself for any earth-shattering shifts that’ll catch you completely off guard. Instead, you’ll want to gear up for longer retrograde periods since outer planets move much slower than Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Because these planets take much longer to retrograde through the sky, the effects tend to be easier to overlook until the retrograde is complete, but you’ll definitely still notice a calling to check in with the topics those planets rule over in your birth chart. Since July 2022 will have not one, not two, but three planets retrograding through the cosmos, you’ll definitely be called to make some pretty big changes.

What Planets Will Be Retrograde During July 2022?

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

Moon Alert

avoid shopping or important decisions from 4 PM to 9 PM EDT today (1 PM to 6 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You will need to practice patience with family members today (especially Mom or female relatives) to avoid arguments and testy encounters. This is because the Moon is at odds with both your ruler Mars as well as Pluto. Oh yeah, this is a classic indication of power struggles. Run for cover!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This could be an accident-prone day because emotions like anger and irritation can make you distracted. This is because arguments with siblings, relatives and neighbours are likely. Someone will want to take control, and it might be you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Power struggles about financial matters might take place today. This could involve a group or an organization. These struggles might also involve who is responsible for what. Disputes about payments, bills or how to divide or share something (like an inheritance) might be at stake.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today it might be difficult to get along with partners, spouses and close friends without having a little dustup. This is because the Moon is in your sign and it is at odds with both Mars at the top of your chart, and Pluto, directly opposite your sign. This can create intense conflict with others. Stay chill.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects – for example, discussions about politics, religion and racial issues today. These issues will trigger arguments with others. Power struggles related to publishing, the media, the law and medicine might also take place. Oy! Who needs this? Not you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be gracious today and do your best to avoid an argument with a friend or a member of a group. Power struggles with others, especially about shared property or shared responsibilities, can arise. If you sit tight for 48 hours this tension will pass.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Demonstrate grace under pressure today, especially dealing with parents, bosses, VIPs and the police because power struggles with people in authority are likely. You might also have difficulty dealing with a partner or close friend. Remember: Patience is the antidote to anger.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Hotheaded discussions about sensitive issues are likely today. In addition, work-related disputes might also be a problem. Some of you might also lock horns with someone about an issue related to your pet. (Is there no jutice?) Oh yes, this is a tricky day!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be careful about acting rashly today especially regarding bills, shared property and inheritances. This might be something you will recklessly do because you feel irritable or emotionally upset. Even though you might have cause for your grievances, think before you act. (For your own good.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Disputes with family members or close friends and partners (especially about some kind of chaos taking place at home) might arise today. You might be discouraged about something, and because of this, you deflect your disappointment into anger about something else? (Relax. We all do this.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Let’s face it. This is a grumpy day. People are grumpy. Family members are grumpy. Cabdrivers are grumpy. Coworkers are grumpy. Cashiers are grumpy. Bus drivers are grumpy. You get the picture. Deal with this as best you can with style and a smile.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a challenging day because financial disputes about vacations, social occasions or kids might arise today. Power struggles might also arise that are related to group situations and social outings. Remember your objective: You want to be happy. Everyone wants to be happy. Stay chill.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Champion swimmer Michael Phelps (1985) shares your birthday today. You are witty, outgoing and friendly. You are a kind, giving person who has poise and self-control. You love to share intelligent ideas and interact with groups. The theme of this year is service to others, especially family. Remember to invest in yourself as well by taking courses or considering a makeover.

July 1, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Visit the June 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase

The Waxing Crescent on July 1 has an illumination of 5%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On July 1 the Moon is 2.14 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter.

The Solar System’s Planet Trails

Image Credit & Copyright: Zheng Zhi

Explanation: Stars trail through a clear morning sky in this postcard from a rotating planet. The timelapse image is constructed from consecutive exposures made over nearly three hours with a camera fixed to a tripod beside the Forbidden City in Beijing, China on June 24. Arcing above the eastern horizon after the series of exposures began, a waning crescent Moon left the brightest streak and watery reflection. On that date the planets of the Solar System were also lined up along the ecliptic and left their own trails before sunrise. Saturn was first to rise on that morning and the ringed planet’s trail starts close to the top right edge, almost out of the frame. Innermost planet Mercury rose only just before the Sun though. It left the shortest trail, visible against the twilight near the horizon at the far left. Uranus and Neptune are faint and hard to find, but mingled with the star trails the Solar System’s planet trails are all labeled in the scene.

Light the green candle and think about how you want your life to change. When you are ready, draw a cross symbol on the sheet of paper with the pen or pencil. Label each corner of the cross with the first letter of the four directions on Earth. For example: “N” for North and “E” for East. Above the cross, write the word, “CHANGE.” Now, take your pen or pencil and place it in the center of the cross. Draw a swirl, counter-clockwise, three times. Then, take the pen back to the center of the cross and draw, clockwise, three times. Now, blow out the candle. After doing that fold the paper up and safely burn it or toss it in a body of water. After a few days, you should feel the changes you wanted to start happening.

 

Re-arrange Spells – Bouquet Re-arrange Spell

3 different kinds of flowers
1 vase
Get three different kinds of flowers and place them in a vase. Take a deep look at them and, then, step back for a few minutes. Walk back up to the flowers and re-arrange them. Then, say this chant three times:

 

“Flowers to move.
Life to re-arrange.
I need things to be different.
I need things to change.
What was over here,
Now, is over there.
What I need to spin around,
Soon, will have new flare.”

 

After about a week or so, you will notice a good deal of the re-arrangement you wanted.

Explanation: Imaged on June 20 2022, comet C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS) shares this wide telescopic field of view with open star cluster IC 4665 and bright star Beta Ophiuchi, near a starry edge of the Milky Way. On its maiden voyage to the inner Solar System from the dim and distant Oort cloud, this comet PanSTARRS was initially spotted over five years ago, in May 2017. Then it was the most distant active inbound comet ever found, discovered when it was some 2.4 billion kilometers from the Sun. That put it between the orbital distances of Uranus and Saturn. Hubble Space Telescope observations indicated the comet had a large nucleus less than 18 kilometers in diameter. Now visible in small telescopes C/2017 K2 will make its closest approach to planet Earth on July 14 and closest approach to the Sun this December. Its extended coma and developing tail are seen here at a distance of some 290 million kilometers, a mere 16 light-minutes away.
