Hold on tight because the retrograde season has arrived. July brings forth a Saturn retrograde, Neptune retrograde, and Chiron retrograde to kickstart the RX season before our second Mercury retrograde of the year enters the chat in August. Are three simultaneous retrogrades occurring all in one month? Yes, and here’s what you need to know. July is a month of receiving the blessings you’re owed. You could hear back from an ex or a missed opportunity, and you’ll have the chance to pursue this if you decide it’s in alignment with your highest good. It’s a time of moving with extreme discernment and intention. Do not make any hasty decisions; even if you do, the planets will boomerang it back toward you to reassess where you might’ve made a mistake. It’s also a great time to brainstorm and reflect.
July isn’t solely a month of retrograde chaos; it’s also a time of impactful change, during which many can anticipate some divine redirection or beautiful breakthrough.

Neptune retrograde begins July 2nd in the sign of Pisces and will last five months.
