Weekly Horoscope for July 27–August 2: Progress, Changes, and Review Time

Emma Caldwell
August 1, 2026

This week the Sun in Leo in conjunction with Jupiter amplifies the energy of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to paint in the sky a Cosmic Comet, a protective figure that opens the door to great opportunities, expansion and progress. The energy of these days is especially intense and offers a valuable opportunity to foster a different, collective vantage. The opposition formed with Pluto warns of abuses that may arise in the surroundings. But it is also an opportunity to connect with personal power, awaken our most authentic and singular self.

At the same time, the full Moon in Aquarius brings to the surface collective issues and transformation processes that affect society as a whole. Revelations may arise, changes of course or the need to release structures that no longer respond to the current circumstances. On the other hand, Saturn stops at degree 14 of Aries, near the fixed star Alferatz, before beginning its retrograde motion. Alferatz is traditionally associated with independence, ambition, honor and intelligence, though also with a certain haste. Saturn’s stationary position invites you to slow down, review commitments and plans in progress, and secure the foundations before continuing to advance.

ARIES

Your vitality and the way you face life’s situations now call for a thorough review, as Saturn retrogrades this week in your own sign (solar or rising). This implies prudence and a call to take care of the body avoiding pushing the limits. The Sun joins Jupiter, activating a magnificent Cosmic Comet with the slow-moving planets. Its effect will be visible in your creative projects, in your love life, and in benefits for your children. Enjoy setting reasonable limits to your energy!

TAURUS

This week Saturn slows down and stops to begin its retrograde. Accumulated fatigue may surface or the need to withdraw and rest more than usual. The Sun and Jupiter, united, activate the powerful configuration with the slow-moving planets, and thus the home environment and family life promise reasons for joy in this area. It is a magnificent opportunity to strengthen the bonds with your loved ones. Reserve time for silence and rest these days!

GEMINIS

The Sun in Leo forms a conjunction with the benevolent Jupiter and activates the best that the slow-moving planets can offer. You can expect pleasant news or stimulating encounters with brothers, neighbors or people in your close circle, and take advantage of the good moment to restart contacts or bring positions closer. Saturn, for its part, begins its motion backward and with it it is wise to observe who truly contributes in your groups and among your friendships. Choose well with whom you share your projects!

CÁNCER

This week, with Saturn’s retrograde, your work and your goals in this regard now demand prudence and well-thought-out steps. It is time to solidify what’s built rather than launching into new fronts, or to repair errors. It’s likely you’ll feel heavier demands and responsibilities at work. The Sun forms a conjunction with Jupiter and activates a cosmic comet that promises to be very favorable for your finances and personal resources. New possibilities for improving your efforts are on the horizon!

LEO

The Sun, in your own sign (solar or rising), reaches a conjunction with Jupiter and activates a Cosmic Comet with the slow-moving planets, multiplying your vitality and your ability to attract opportunities. It is a good moment to stand out and take important steps in whatever you set out to do. Saturn stops before beginning its retrograde and warns against rushing travel plans. It is favorable to resume studies or pending subjects. Life gives you reasons to celebrate in grand fashion!

VIRGO

This week it’s advisable to calmly review debts, shared money and financial matters that depend on or concern another person, without making hasty decisions. The Sun in conjunction with Jupiter forms a very favorable setup with the slow-moving planets and will operate on a discreet, unnoticeable level to others, helping you shed burdens or fears you had been carrying for a long time without knowing how to manage them. It’s a good moment to slow down without feeling like you’re wasting time!

LIBRA

Alliances, contracts, collaborations and agreements with others may be strained by Saturn’s retrograde. Someone may demand more dedication or more commitment than you are willing or able to give, or conversely, they might back out of what was agreed. In another sense, the Sun and Jupiter illuminate and dynamize the sky. Happiness, gifts and blessings through your friends await you. Nurture and celebrate your friendships!

ESCORPIO

The body and daily routine this week could require more attention than usual. You may find work becomes uphill or some health habit needs a real adjustment, without postponing it any longer. The Sun and Jupiter, however, illuminate your professional life and your reputation, and the time of recognition and visibility for the efforts you have been making for a while arrives. It is worth seizing the opportunity to take a step forward and achieve what you have set out to do!

SAGITARIO

What you usually do spontaneously or for pure pleasure may now require greater effort or commitment, not leaving everything to improvisation. The Sun and Jupiter, on the other hand, illuminate your search for broader horizons, bringing good news related to travel, a publishing project or something that opens a path toward something new. It is a good time to truly commit to what excites you about the future. Treat yourself, but without leaving everything to chance!

CAPRICORNIO

This week Saturn, your ruling planet, begins its retrograde motion and domestic responsibilities may reappear, which should be attended to without delay but with patience and without rushing. The Sun in conjunction with Jupiter activates a very favorable configuration with the slow-moving planets, bringing light and good news in financial matters that depend on other people, and especially helping you relieve worries, to release grudges and to heal the wounds of the soul. Let love reach the darkest corners of your heart!

ACUARIO

With Saturn retrograde, communication with your close circle and short trips now require more care. Some conversations or procedures may demand more patience than usual. On the other hand, Jupiter and the Sun activate a very favorable configuration with the slow-moving planets and this energy translates into significant supports or beneficial agreements in your romantic relationships. It is a good moment to close deals or for someone close to lend you a hand right when you need it!

PISCIS

This week the slow-moving planets can give the best of themselves with the activation of the Sun joined with Jupiter, your ruling planet. The effects translate into recognition and improvements in the small things, in your attention to detail, in the everyday. You will know how to find the solution to something you have been trying to solve for a long time. Saturn, for its part, presses on the material realm, so it is wise to review expenses or consolidate what you have already achieved before going for more. Take care of your resources!
