Weekly Astrology Forecast: July 26–August 1, 2026 | Jupiter Cazimi, Lunar Nodes & Saturn Retrograde

The final week of July 2026 marks a major turning point in the astrology. The Lunar Nodes change signs, Saturn turns retrograde, Jupiter reaches the heart of the Sun (Jupiter cazimi), and the stage is set for an entirely new chapter to begin.

A quick Mercury retrograde confession... If you watched this episode and wondered why we never talked about the Aquarius Full Moon—even though it's mentioned in the intro—you're not imagining things!

We somehow forgot to discuss it during the recording, despite having the chart ready to share on screen. We recorded a new segment afterward to edit into the episode... and then Mercury retrograde reminded us why backups matter. In the excitement of trying a new workflow, the recording disappeared before we downloaded it, and although Lillian had saved a copy, we couldn't find it.

Frustrating? A little. Helpful? Absolutely.

Instead of ruining the episode, Mercury retrograde exposed a crack in our production process that we can now fix before it becomes a much bigger problem.

Rather than trying to recreate the segment from memory, I wrote a companion blog exploring the Aquarius Full Moon in depth, including the rare 0° cardinal angles, Jupiter cazimi, Pluto's influence, and practical ways to work with this powerful lunation.
