Mercury in a destructive degree, the Moon void of course, stressful aspects of the Sun, and the powerful influence of royal degrees. The new week will be a period of inner transformation and unexpected turns. But even amid all these events, it's possible to catch a wave of luck if you understand when to schedule important matters. Exclusively for RBC-Ukraine, Ukrainian astrologer Kateryna Solovyova shared what the horoscope promises for the entire week and which days will be the most favorable.
July 28
The astrologer advises refraining from new undertakings and important decisions, as well as surgical and dental interventions. It's also worth remembering that Mercury will be retrograde until August 11. Therefore, during this entire period, it's best to avoid new projects and focus on what you've already been doing.
"A day for choosing a goal, staying true to principles, transformation, assimilation of information and knowledge. Positive emotions and feelings should be actively expressed, and ideals, principles, and beliefs defended. A favorable period for teachers, secretaries, service personnel, publishers, sales representatives, pharmacists and apothecaries, travelers, and research scientists," said Solovyova.
From 09:03 AM on July 28 to midnight Kyiv time on July 29, Mars will be in the royal degree of Virgo. The main characteristics of this degree in Virgo are meticulousness, precision, timeliness, and thoroughness.
"During this period, it's effective to review tasks and belongings, analyze, compare, check, evaluate the effectiveness of previous projects, clarify the circumstances of various situations, identify shortcomings, and correct mistakes in any area of life," the expert advises.
July 29
On this day, sensitivity and intuition are heightened, prophetic dreams may occur, and many premonitions could soon come true. Stick to your usual routines, don't complain about life, circumstances, or others.
It's a good time to tidy up your home and host guests. Pay attention to your children, and meet with friends. Avoid fasting and smoking.
"Don't initiate new activities related to starting a new job, buying or repairing a car or household appliances, long-distance travel, or overtime workloads," warned Solovyova.
On July 29, the Sun will be in the royal degree of Leo. These are degrees of optimism, joy, anticipation, and the achievement of miracles in life.
Main characteristics of this degree in Leo:
- wisdom
- uniqueness
- courage
- humaneness
- physical and moral strength
July 30
You need to be cautious, as fraud and deception are possible. It's also easy to catch a cold.
"Be careful with words because gossip and lies are dangerous and will quickly become known to others. Words carry the greatest power and meaning: everything said may come true. All good wishes will come to life," said the astrologer.
From 6:46 PM on July 30 to 03:00 AM Kyiv time on August 1, Mercury will be in the destructive degree of Leo.
"In Leo, this degree brings pessimism, pride, disappointment in creative abilities, sometimes physical illness, immorality, financial losses, problems with children, and misunderstandings with sexual partners. Feelings of deprivation may arise in all things related to the expression of the spirit," the expert explained.
"It's necessary to avoid idleness, laziness, frivolity, vanity, wastefulness, showiness, passion, excessive gambling, complexes, and to endure failures with composure," she added.
In addition, on July 30, from 07:01 AM to midnight Kyiv time, the Moon will be void of course. This condition is equivalent to the influence of retrograde Mercury.
July 31
"It's a good day to summarize and define the directions of further development. Stick to a diet, fasting, and body detox are possible. It's advisable to protect yourself and rid yourself of the evil eye," advises the astrologer.
Also, remember that Mercury will still be in the destructive degree of Leo.
Additionally, on July 31, the Moon will be void of course from midnight to 8:25 PM Kyiv time. And as is known, this equates to the influence of retrograde Mercury.
"It is believed that when the Moon is 'void of course,' the usual flow of events is disrupted, wrong choices are made, actions do not yield the desired result, and a person is overcome by confusion, inattention, and futile illusions. Balance the Moon's energy with the color white, silver, and the consumption of dairy products," reminded Solovyova.
August 1
The astrologer warned that a stressful period will begin after 2:18 PM Kyiv time. Anxieties, fears, and gloomy thoughts are possible. It's easy to fall under illusions, deceptions, and temptations. Finish ongoing tasks and focus on routine work.
From 02:27 AM on August 1 to 03:31 AM Kyiv time on August 2, the Sun will be in the destructive degree of Leo.
"This degree can manifest in two ways: either a person destroys others, or life destroys them. An unfavorable period for those in leadership positions in professional or public activities, or connected with the world of art and culture," explained Solovyova.
August 2
Until 3:30 PM Kyiv time, it will be an unfavorable time for new beginnings, important decisions, or procedures such as surgery and dentistry, as well as visiting a hairdresser. Fears, gloomy thoughts, and susceptibility to illusions, deceptions, and temptations are possible.
"After 3:30 PM Kyiv time, a person's vital energy may begin to surge. Channel it into strengthening family relationships and improving the home. A favorable time for resolving conflicts and completing legal proceedings. Women's intuition is heightened. Do not argue with women because it will violate cosmic laws," said Solovyova.
On August 2, from 08:49 to 10:51 AM Kyiv time, the Moon will be in the destructive degree of Scorpio. It brings tests of endurance, resilience, and stamina.
"The influence of this degree depends on one's ability to harmoniously integrate into life and find understanding with the world around them, as well as on the art of learning from life's lessons. For highly developed individuals, it provides the opportunity to become brilliant psychologists, the ability to tune into sources of higher wisdom, and to learn from the highest intellect," the astrologer noted.
August 3
"Until 4:43 PM Kyiv time, a person's vital energy may begin to surge. After 4:43 PM, you should not plan any major intellectual or physical exertion, as one of the most energetically powerful periods begins. Inner forces awaken in the body," the expert warned.
It is recommended to follow discipline, repay debts, put affairs in order, and clean the home.
From 10:57 PM on August 3 to 2:23 PM Kyiv time on August 5, Mercury will be in the royal degree of Leo. These are degrees of optimism, joy, anticipation, and the achievement of miracles in life.
"The main characteristics of this degree in Leo are: wisdom, uniqueness, courage, humaneness, physical and moral strength. The creative component is also present, so for those involved in art or public speaking, it brings success and incredible luck," reminded the astrologer.
