July is really packed with activity for Aries, so remember to buckle up, there will be more than enough for you to deal with. There are two eclipses this month, a new moon solar eclipse in Cancer on July 12, and a full moon lunar eclipse in Aquarius on July 27. There will be a third one right after this, a new moon solar eclipse on August 11. In addition, there will be many stars moving direct or retrograde this month, and there will be new changes in Mars, the ruling planet of Aries. Let us start from the most recent one and start from the beginning.

First is Mars, which is very important to Aries. It will go retrograde from June 26th to August 27th. This means having the patience to achieve your goals. For the competitive Aries, Mars is the sword that helps you win all competitions. It governs motivation, courage, drive, and the willpower to overcome difficulties and challenges. When Mars is retrograde, the inherent advantages it can bring to Aries will disappear, so this period is not suitable for starting new adventures. If you insist on doing so, you will be marked by the lack of support from Mars. In layman's terms, this means that "the five elements are lacking fire" from the moment you are born. The adventure here is not only about career, but also about new emotional relationships. All new things require the strong promotion of Mars in its normal orbit.

Normally, it takes Mars two days to travel one degree. Starting from June 21, in order to accommodate the retrograde on the 26th, it will take twelve days to travel one degree. (Astrologers usually use star charts or ephemerides to observe the paths and speeds of planets. NASA also releases its own ephemerides, and other organizations also make them. You can choose the one you like best. Most ephemerides differ in the font, whether the day starts at midnight or sunrise, and whether Greenwich Mean Time or another time zone is used.) So I feel that Aries is like having glue on the soles of their feet, and the speed is very slow. Don't worry too much, because Mars retrograde affects everyone, and we are all in the same boat.

Mars also rules sharp objects, such as the edge of a scalpel or the tip of a needle, as well as sex and sperm. For Aries who are planning to try in vitro fertilization or other similar expensive surgeries, it is best to wait until after September. Some astrologers believe that you should not start a new relationship when Mars is retrograde, mainly because the physical and mental shocks of both parties (you know) will be less than when Mars is direct, and I must admit that this is quite true.

When a planet is retrograde, it means that things that have been completed need to be considered again, revisited, re-evaluated, re-arranged, and even completed again. This time Mars retrograde occurs in Aries’ eleventh house, and you need to repair your relationship with friends who have gradually become estranged. Or maybe you used to be a member of a society or club, and missed many activities that were beneficial to you. Looking back, you think it would be better to return to the organization and participate. It is also possible that you had plans to do charity not long ago, but put it on hold due to lack of time, and now you have time to invest. The eleventh house where Mars transits usually governs people's response to society, concern for suffering groups, fundraising, and the awareness of helping others, etc.

Mars is also responsible for contracts. If you had a major project that was about to be signed, but it had to be delayed for one reason or another, then Mars retrograde can get it back on track.
