Fear, Bewilderment, Illusion, Imagination
Sign: Pisces Planet: Neptune Zodiac House: 12th Element: Water
Mercury is in retrograde for three weeks from 29 June until 23 July 2026
Pluto is in Aries in the first house until 15 October 2026
Well this is a surprise..NOT! I have been dreading July, it's kind of a smokescreen month. Very shadowy, with division, illusion and poor communication, not all is as it seems. There is growing pessimism in the public mind and emotional upheaval is highlighted globally. Nobody knows where they stand whether people in their personal lives or publically, and leaders sure don't either. Caution is the key word and please don't be quick to judge things or others, or mistakes will be made.
Vladimir Putin is back in the news, his anger is out of control as is his depression and deep mistrust of the west. NATO may force his hand in July or August. Beware, this may involve finance, money, and the economy, oil and gas as well as territory (land).
I see overseas trips to make deals, this is politicians, and business leaders. The questionable WEF (world economic forum) are back in the news also.
People cannot cope with poverty and are highly stressed and angry right now. Nobody seems to know what to do about this or how to fix this problem.
Sir Keir Starmer is back making waves as he continues to hold on to his job. I hear Excuses, excuses, excuses. No one is buying this and he has to go before he does more damage to the economy, immigration and poor defence strategies.
We will see heightened tensions between the Middle East and the west, and Ukraine and Russia are no closer to ending the war as there is entrenched bitterness on both sides.
As people watch the skies for drones or aircraft, nobody notices what is happening in the water. This covers Ukraine/Russia, Iran in the Hormuz Strait and the South China Seas. Israel will play mind games, with mixed emotions and crossed signals.
Please keep in mind the fact that Pluto is in Aries in the first house until 15 October 2026, and Mercury is retrograde until 23 July 2026. This has a serious affect on everyone.
People are on the move again in July, this feels like refugees and immigrants mostly. There is a possibility of deportations from western nations to the East. However there is something hidden here and all will be exposed. The whole thing is designed to play on the public's emotions as per design. This is Neptune's effect of mind games, illusion, deception and things developed in secret being put into play.
Emotions block reality of what's actually happening, and a great roux is being played on the public, including the true financial cost to the public. Quelle surprise!
Expect distractions in the news to cover up what is really taking place politically. We have been on this meri-go-round before. This is Pluto/Scorpio energy here too,Remember that Pluto is residing in Aries in the first house until 15/10/26. This is a destructive energy we are dealing with. The first house is a house of life ruled by Aries and Mars so this is about leadership and power when that bad boy; Pluto shakes the order up.
July is a very intense month emotionally, as we have Cancer in the first half of the month and then the second half is ruled by Leo. Leo is a sign of love but it has to be the leader too. Please try to keep your cool in July, especially in the first week.
I feel explosive energy on the 4th of July, which has been nagging at me for over a month now. As we already know this is American Independence Day, and everyone will be on alert. I feel water connected to this day's events such as an explosion on or near water. Whether that is human emotions depicted by water or it is an actual event involving water, it is intense. It may well be a very hot day too.
The Sun's energy is overshadowed by the Moon, thus affecting one's mind and the ability to think or focus clearly. Mercury being retrograde throws a spanner into the works too.
Murphy's Law kicks in, so anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Might as well stay home with your cat.
This scenario means you must pay extra attention to what you say and how you communicate, to prevent misunderstandings and miscommunication. As this could have very serious consequences for others.
Mercury rules all forms of communication, travel, movement, such as air, land and sea. Mercury also rules over metal too, so think of every possible vehicle from your car, motorbike, to aircraft, ships and military vehicles too.
Mercury represents the intellectual urge and the avenue of expression. It rules over the mind, brain, sight, mouth, tongue, the respiratory system, hands and arms.
Mercury's key word is reasoning ability. So as you can see how this affects the month of July.
Notice the Crayfish on the bottom of the card coming out of the water. This represents humanity's primal fear. We are psychologically programmed with the fight or flight response. Sometimes that response is over active to a perceived threat, danger or paranoia. So it is not always easy to see what is really going on.
Is someone playing mind games to psych their opponent or us out? Like playing a game of chess, although this is very serious with political intrigue involved. Watch out for president Trump throughout July and August. Bold steps will be taken by him in the name of security for America, wow.
Neptune the ruler of this card is the planetary ruler of Pisces and the 12th House of the zodiac, which is a house of endings and confinement.
Neptune represents the Spiritual and escapist urge. The key word is intuition. Neptune and Pisces rules the Middle East, religion and spirituality, just to give you further information and understanding. Every nation has a ruling planet and sign.
Neptune also rules Second sight, telepathy, all liquids, for, petroleum, oil, illusion, delusion, dreams, the mind, the intangibles, drug addiction, alcoholism, hypochondria, sleep walking. It also rules glamour ant the arts (Hollywood) mystery and hunches.
On the human body, Neptune governs the spinal column, the nerve fibers, feet, the pineal gland (also used for psychic abilities) white corpuscles and kinesthetic functions. So as you can see Neptune has a massive influence on the human race.
This card informs me that the human race has a long way to go, to break out of negative and violent patterns. Divisions in humanity feed this destructive behaviour thus producing a toxic way of thinking. Which in turn produces more trauma, and we will see a further rise in PTSD and other mental health issues in the future which are very difficult to treat. Adding pressure to the shortage of mental health professionals to help these people.
Long term effects of mental health problems seep deeper into the human race like an infection, which seriously affects us right to soul and spiritual level. At his deeper level it is even harder to treat as modern medicine does not understand nor accept this concept. To acknowledge the shadow self within us is one thing but to look into a disease of the soul is a totally different ball game. That is something that requires the ability to look into the human aura or energy field, to be able to see it and feel it before it can be healed. How does one even begin to explain to the person in this condition let alone medical professionals. Body mind and spirit are an integrated unit, they cannot and must not be treated separately they must be healed together down through the etheric layers.
Thank you to my guides for helping me with this card of the month and thank you to you the person reading this too.
Warm and fuzzy hugs everyone
Alex
