Episode 261 features astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan giving an overview of the astrological forecast for July of 2020.
The astrology of July features Mars starting its long transit through Aries, Saturn moving back into Capricorn, a lunar eclipse in Capricorn, and Mercury squaring Mars most of the month.
We begin the episode by reviewing the astrology of the second quarter of the year, focusing on Saturn’s ingress into Aquarius where it began squaring Uranus, which should give us some preview of what Saturn’s return to Aquarius will look like in December and after.
Two of the main transits of July are Saturn retrograding back into Capricorn and Mars beginning its long six month journey through Aries, which in many ways brings us back to some of the same themes and energies that were present in the first quarter of the year.
Tensions are heightened in July though, as a side effect of the second half of the Mercury retrograde period is that Mercury will be squaring Mars pretty closely for most of the month.
At the same time we begin the month with the second of three Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions in Capricorn, as well as the final lunar eclipse taking place in Capricorn.

Thank you, love to listen to you three. Always inspiring.
Could anyone give me a quick description (if there is a quick one) of how to adjust the election for my location? I’m in the UK, so seven hours ahead of Denver, CO. Will the election just be the Denver time plus seven hours — 1.30pm — or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Also, thank you to the hosts for another fascinating episode.
Calculate the chart in whatever program you use with the exact same date and time given in the example, with no time zone conversion, then set the location for the city you live in. This should give approximately the same rising sign in your location. Adjust the time to be earlier or later until the Ascendant is in the same degree in your location as what we have in the example chart. Then you are all set.
Thank for another beautiful review of the stars for July! It’s important to be realistic though about things. To characterize the government as having money, and bailing people and corporations out is a dishonest characterization. The government is $20+ trillion in debt and these moves are adding to that. They’re digging the grave, with a backhoe…. Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus with Mars behind the wheel and Jupiter expanding the possibilities. Change isn’t always utopian! MAGA, LOL…
Can’t wait for next months forecast!
