July 2026 Overarch

7th Neptune stations Retrograde at 4° Aries

As Neptune stations retrograde at 4° Aries it is a time for a pause.

You may do well to rest and reflect but don’t spend too much time swinging in a hammock sipping a piña colada without getting anything done.

Your muse may arrive at any time and the best ideas need to be captured either as sketches or words in your dream book.

9th Venus enters Virgo

Virgo is not the best placement for Venus, the love planet, as there can be a tendency to pick on your love interest.

Although you can clearly see their imperfections, you must ask yourself if nitpicking and complaining is worth straining your relationship for.

North Node Aquarius, South Node Leo

Author: Alison Price – Updated: June 2026

💛 Forecasting Astrology

North Node Aquarius and South Node Leo

Introduction

Nodal Ingresses

On July 26, 2026, the Lunar Nodes will change signs.

The nodes take 18.6 years to transit the whole zodiac and so they change signs around every eighteen months.

When discussing the nodes you always state the North Node first as in the nodes are ingressing into Aquarius and Leo.

Whereas typically when referencing signs, you always list the signs in order, so that would be Leo and Aquarius.

True Nodes

The true nodes move direct, station and retrograde slightly throughout each month, but in general the trend of their movement is retrograde through the zodiac signs.

The nodes were in Pisces and Virgo and now will be in Aquarius and Leo.

Podcast Episode

Listen to our latest podcast episode on the Lunar Nodes changing signs.

North Node

Themes

The North Node is also known as the dragon’s head or Caput Draconis.

Connections to new people are shown through your North Node.

Meetings, get-togethers and rendezvous are likely to happen.

The North Node is concerned with things that occur at a hub (computer routers, airports).

Your Future Destiny

The North Node shows your current incarnation in this life.

It suggests your karmic objectives.

The North Node is related to consciousness.

The North Node indicates your destiny, future path and where you can grow and evolve.

The South Node

Themes

The South Node is also known as the dragon’s tail or Cauda Draconis.

The South Node suggests connections with people from your past.

It indicates the things that you already know.

The South Node shows your past incarnations and therefore your past lives.

Your Past

This point is related to unconsciousness and sub-consciousness.

The South Node clearly shows your past and your past lives.

It is a place where stagnation can take place.

North Node Aquarius

Push Forward

The North Node will move into Aquarius.

The North Node in Aquarius fears, but should push towards, being humble.

Aquarius Themes

Aquarius is an air sign concerned with groups, communities, innovation, technology and the future.

While Leo seeks personal recognition, Aquarius seeks collective progress.

During this nodal period, growth comes through participation with others, sharing ideas and contributing to something larger than yourself.

Networking

The North Node in Aquarius encourages people to step back from personal drama and consider how they can serve the wider community.

There is a call to become more objective and less attached to individual praise or approval.

New opportunities may arise through friendships, networks, clubs, associations and social causes.

New Connections

Aquarius is associated with originality and independent thinking.

During this transit, there is encouragement to develop your unique perspective without needing constant validation from others.

New connections may be formed through technology, online communities, scientific interests or humanitarian activities.

Challenge

The challenge of the North Node in Aquarius is that it can feel uncomfortable to move away from the spotlight and into a more equal role within a group.

There may be fears about fitting in, being accepted or contributing something worthwhile.

Growth occurs when you willingly share your talents for the benefit of the collective.

Question

The North Node in Aquarius asks, “How can my individual gifts help create a better future for everyone?”

South Node Leo

Fall Back

The South Node will move into Leo.

The South Node in Leo falls back on arrogance.

Leo Themes

Leo is a fire sign associated with creativity, self-expression, leadership and personal recognition.

The South Node in Leo suggests familiar patterns related to seeking attention, approval or admiration from others.

These are qualities that may feel comfortable because they have already been developed.

Puffed Up Ego

During this nodal cycle, there can be a tendency to focus too heavily on personal importance or to believe that your way is the only way.

Pride, vanity or the desire to be special may become stumbling blocks if taken too far.

Situations may arise which reveal where ego has become attached to outcomes.

What You Need Now

The South Node in Leo is not asking you to abandon creativity, leadership or self-expression.

Rather, it suggests that these talents have already been cultivated and can now be used in service of a wider purpose.

The challenge is to avoid becoming trapped in the need for recognition or applause.

Generosity

At its best, I believe that the South Node in Leo provides confidence, courage, generosity and warmth.

These gifts can be shared with groups and communities through the balancing influence of the North Node in Aquarius.

South Node Question

The South Node in Leo asks, “Can I contribute my talents without needing to be the center of attention?”

Extend Yourself: Lunar Nodes

Natal

In your astrology journal and referring to your chart, or the chart of a potential client, please do the following:

Determine the Moon complex.
Name the Lunar phase.
List the Lunar Nodal complex.
Interpret the Lunar Nodal complex and consider the signs, houses, and important aspects (conjunctions and squares) (250 words).

Extend Yourself Further

Forecast

With your natal chart and the new ingress chart please do the following:

State which houses the transiting nodes are in now.
Find all the conjunctions and squares (use an 8° orb) from the transiting nodes to your natal chart.
Interpret each of these aspects separately (100 words).
Interpret these placements. Consider the new signs and how this energy shift may change your future as the nodes remain in the same house but move into the new signs of Aquarius and Leo (250 words).

Overarch

There is Time

The shift of the Lunar Nodes into Aquarius and Leo marks a collective change in emphasis from personal recognition towards group participation.

The invitation for us all is to move beyond any individual ego concerns and discover how our unique talents can contribute to the greater good.

While the South Node in Leo indicates our creativity, confidence and personal strengths, the North Node in Aquarius encourages collaboration, friendship, innovation and shared vision.

Over the next eighteen months, growth is likely to come from balancing your individuality with your community and to learn how your own personal gifts can support the collective progress.

Chiron enters Taurus

Author: Alison Price – Updated: January 2026

Chiron in Taurus

Introduction

Chiron Enters Taurus

Chiron will be changing signs later this year.

It will leave behind the cardinal fire sign, Aries, and enter the fixed earth sign of Taurus the Bull.

Chiron’s Sign Ingress and Retrograde Period

Retrograde Periods

There are five specific points in a retrograde period. If you are not familiar about the stages of the planetary retrograde periods, I urge you to explore some more for clarity.

2026

Chiron enters the pre-shadow on April 10, 2026.

Chiron enters Taurus on June 19, 2026.

Chiron stations retrograde on August 2nd, 2026, at 0°51′ Taurus.

Chiron, still retrograde, re-enters Aries on September 18th, 2026.

2027

Chiron stations direct on January 6th, 2027, at 26°15′ Aries.

Chiron re-enters Taurus for the final time on Apr 14th, 2027

Chiron clears the after-shadow on May 15th, 2027.

Chiron’s Period in Taurus

Years

Chiron will remain in Taurus for seven years until August 2033 when it moves into Gemini.

What Chiron in Taurus Brings for each Ascendant

Aries Ascendant

If you have an Aries Ascendant, then transiting Chiron in the second house can suggest you have a gift for managing money.

You may give more or you may be the recipient of support from others by them giving you a position to earn some money.

This is a time for not really being paid what you are worth. It also indicates you somehow find healing in your self-esteem.

Taurus Ascendant

If you have a Taurus Ascendant, you become aware of your personal weaknesses when Chiron enters your first house.

This can be a time for self-improvement on many levels. At this time, you are your own best teacher and you may discover what you really need in your life.

Gemini Ascendant

If you have a Gemini Ascendant, as Chiron enters your twelfth house it is a time for quiet contemplation.

You may spend peaceful times and help your dark side whatever that is.

If you have secret problems (like addictions) you can address them now.

This is the time to heal your inner self which could be simply getting more sleep so you can face the day.

Prayer and meditation will help calm you now.

Cancer Ascendant

If you have a Cancer Ascendant, then transiting Chiron will enter your eleventh house brings friends that need help.

You may be asked to assist your friends and associates which you are happy to do and rightly so as this is the time for you to give this type of aid.

Make sure you do not become their doormat as at this time you can do more for them than is actually helpful.

Becoming your friend’s enabler will not help them in the long run.

Leo Ascendant

If you have a Leo Ascendant, promotion that happens under a Chiron transit of the tenth house can be a two edged sword.

You are glad of the opportunity but the reality of the extra responsibility. and what is required of you, may make you feel overwhelmed.

You can suffer from “imposter syndrome” where you can’t believe that someone is paying you to do the job, because you like it so much, and can that be right?

Or can it?

Virgo Ascendant

If you have a Virgo Ascendant, it is the perfect time to start an adult education program or go back to college.

You are open to knowledge and will find a great teacher now.

Religion and philosophy may become one of your study areas.

Travel to areas where you can help other people such as teaching, aid or educating people is good now.

Libra Ascendant

If you have a Libra Ascendant, as Chiron passes through your eighth house you may become aware of your own mortality and frailness.

This is an excellent time to get therapy (or rehab) for yourself.

It is a good time for psychoanalysis as you are eager to learn from a good teacher.

During this period, you could take too much (and take for granted) from your partner like money, food or emotional demands.

Make sure to give support to any joint and shared resources.

Scorpio Ascendant

If you have a Scorpio Ascendant, when Chiron enters your seventh house your partner may need your help.

It is a time to see the cracks in your relationships and try to patch them up.

New relationships started at this time will be a learning process for you.

You may meet a potential partner who becomes a burden to you.

Sagittarius Ascendant

If you have a Sagittarius Ascendant, it is the perfect time to take refresher courses in your industry and find a mentor at work.

You are likely to find advisors in the job market now.

These people may be recruiters or peers it depends.

If you are over fifty you can become the mentor for a younger protegè.

Capricorn Ascendant

If you have a Capricorn Ascendant, then transiting Chiron will be in your fifth house suggests that you may acknowledge your children’s imperfections for the first time.

This also indicates that your children may take advantage of your weakness because you love them.

You may overindulge your children now which may not be for their good.

Aquarius Ascendant

If you have an Aquarius Ascendant, then transiting Chiron in the fourth house suggests that you will discover weaknesses in your family and home.

This could indicate that you can address any problems and become a person that your family can turn to in times of their need.

You are seen as the family counsellor.

Pisces Ascendant

If you have a Pisces Ascendant, as Chiron passes through your third house it can suggest that you are happy to teach others in your neighborhood, this can be the local kids or the people in your immediate surroundings.

You may find a thought leader now and enjoy their teachings.

Here are some books which may interest you.

About My Horoscopes

These horoscopes consider the changing planetary energies throughout each month. In general, I look at three things, ingresses, lunations and stations.

If there are other important events happening during a month, I may write about them as well, it just depends.

Ingresses

These horoscopes consider the planets changing signs or ingressing. Several planets change signs each month and this can vary.

When a planet goes from one sign into the next it may benefit or have its energy reduced. How well a planet is placed in a sign is known as essential dignity.

Lunations

We look at the New Moon and the Full Moon or any Solar or Lunar Eclipses when they occur. Eclipses only happen in a couple of months each year.

Here is the full list of the 2026 Lunations.

Stations

Considerations is given to any planet that stations in a month. A station is when a planet appears to stop and turn direction.

Planets can either station retrograde (begin to move backwards) or station direct (begin to move forwards). It depends on the planet and your own Sun sign whether a station may heavily affect you or not so much.

This Month’s Features

In this article, I center our attention on the astrological energy shifts unfolding in May 2026. My first focus lies in understanding the pivotal moments when planets change signs, as this can greatly affect their optimal functioning.

Moving forward, I look at the profound influence of New and Full Moons, along with any eclipses that might manifest during this month. These celestial events can have a significant impact on our lives and emotions.

Moreover, I examine the stations and retrogrades of the planets, which signal a decrease in energy and call for a reevaluation of past situations associated with those specific planets. It’s a time to reflect and gain insights from the past.

Lastly, I highlight some key astrological moments that will shape the month, offering valuable insights into the prevailing energies and their potential impact on our lives.
