The busiest day of this week is Wednesday, July 29; three events occur in the sky at the same time and become entangled with one another. The first is the conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter at 6 degrees of Leo. In reading this conjunction it is worth keeping a classical warning in mind: a planet that comes this close to the Sun falls under combustion, meaning the Sun's rays burn it, render it invisible and weaken its power. Jupiter moves through this band of combustion all week and, because of the difference in latitude, it never enters the heart of the Sun, that narrow cazimi point which would instead strengthen a planet; it stays combust from beginning to end. Jupiter's abundance is therefore dim this week, overshadowed and easily given to exaggeration. This conjunction is not "great luck" but a period that asks for care; an opportunity that looks large may turn out inflated or hollow, and a promise that sounds generous may not be kept. There is value in not rushing and in approaching pledges with caution.
The same day, at the same hours, a Full Moon takes place at 5 degrees of Aquarius, and the Moon becomes full exactly opposite the Sun and the combust Jupiter. On the Leo-Aquarius axis the balance between showing oneself individually and belonging to a community is illuminated. The Moon, becoming full opposite Jupiter, further enlarges the tendency toward exaggeration, excess and over-promising; as enthusiasm rises, keeping a sense of measure matters especially this week. The third event is the Venus-Mars square reaching exactness; friction is felt between love and desire, between refinement and hasty action. When the three effects come together, this week appears not as a bright week of abundance but as one asking for caution and measure, a week in which enthusiasm can be deceptive.
For the rest of the week Mercury continues to gain speed in direct motion in Cancer, and the recovery after its retrograde becomes clearer; communication, decisions and technical matters begin to flow again. The Mercury-Saturn square dissolves as the week advances and the heaviness in thinking lightens. Saturn continues retrograde in Aries; responsibilities and structures are quietly being reviewed. Venus continues to advance in its fall in Virgo. After the Full Moon the Moon moves in a waning phase from Aquarius into Pisces.
♈ Aries House: Creativity, romance, pleasure
On July 29 the Sun and Jupiter conjoin in your 5th house; your area of creativity, romance, children and enjoying life comes to the fore. However, because Jupiter is combust in this conjunction, the enthusiasm in this area needs to be approached with caution; a spark of love that looks bright or a creative opportunity may turn out inflated, and a hope easily magnified may fade. Jupiter will remain in this house for the coming year and you will feel its real abundance as it emerges from combustion; this conjunction is only the shadowed opening of that journey.
The same day a Full Moon takes place in Aquarius, in your 11th house, and your social circle and future plans reach their peak. A friendship, a community matter, or a long-term goal becomes clear at this Full Moon. The balance between your desire to be seen and your need to belong to a group is laid out before you.
Your ruler Mars advances through your 3rd house, and its square with Venus reaches exactness on Wednesday; friction may arise in communication with your immediate circle or in a relationship, and it helps to soften your words.

On July 29 the Sun and Jupiter conjoin in your 4th house and your home comes to the fore. Movement appears in the area of home, family and your roots, but because Jupiter is combust in this conjunction, approach the enthusiasm with caution; a home plan that looks large or a family promise may prove inflated or premature. Jupiter will remain here for the coming year and its real abundance will come as it sheds the combustion; this conjunction is the shadowed opening of that journey.

On July 29 the Sun and Jupiter conjoin in your 3rd house and your area of communication, learning and immediate environment comes to the fore. A piece of writing or an idea may come forward, but because Jupiter is combust in this conjunction, proceed by weighing your words; an idea or a promise that looks bright may turn out inflated, and a word given lightly may not be kept. Jupiter remains in this area for the coming year and its real abundance will come as it emerges from combustion.
The same day a Full Moon takes place in Aquarius, in your 9th house, and a matter in the area of education, travel and outlook on life rises to a peak.

♌ Leo House: Identity, self, personal energy
On July 29 the Sun and Jupiter conjoin in your sign, in your 1st house. Your ruler the Sun is in its strongest state in its own house, but because Jupiter is this close to the Sun it is combust and in a weak position; so this is not a pure window of luck but a conjunction that asks for care. The tendency to present yourself as larger than you are, to over-promise, or to exaggerate an opportunity runs high in these days. Occurring around your birthday, this conjunction carries the seed of the year ahead, but the real growth will come as Jupiter emerges from combustion, in measured steps; postpone large decisions for a few weeks.
The same day a Full Moon takes place in your opposite sign Aquarius, in your 7th house, and the Moon becomes full exactly opposite the Sun and Jupiter in your sign. Your relationships rise to a peak; a partnership becomes clear, an association concludes, or the person across from you shows you yourself as in a mirror. The balance between your desire to be seen and the requirements of being with another is illuminated. Yet because the Moon becomes full exactly opposite the combust Jupiter, the tendency toward exaggeration and over-promising rises sharply at this Full Moon; do not lose your sense of measure in relationships, and do not end up bound by a word given in enthusiasm.
Mercury gradually speeds up in your 12th house and the murkiness behind the scenes disperses. Venus forms a square with Mars in your 2nd house; financial priorities and social wishes may conflict.
