We are now in the second half of 2026 and it is going to be a year where the second half is different from the first half. We had two powerful lunar aspects in June and several important astro events at the end of the month. Mercury is retrograde for 3 weeks in July and we have new sign movements that are going to bring greater grace and ease. And CERN has been shut down for the next 4 years for repairs. I posted my opinion on this on facebook and I do not think that what they indicate as the reason is the truth. But when have these people ever told the truth? I believe they have to upgrade the LHC because it has been running at peak speeds to counteract the massive amount of joy and goodwill created by the World Cup. I’ll address some of this in this month’s Energy Report.
https://enlighteninglife.com/july-2026-energy-report/ One thing about July – it’s hot here. But I have air conditioning so I’m comfortable even though I do keep mine a little bit higher than most people because I do not like being cold. And hot July is the right foundation for the action of this month.
The first thing to notice is that July 2026 has an ‘8’ vibration, the number of balanced manifestation, harmony, congruence, and energy alchemy. 8 is the number of infinity but it is also balance and flow. Energy moves this month, and it will demand balance and flow.
Next the month starts with a Mercury retrograde which is not a bad thing. It is in Cancer, the sign of emotions and the mother, but also foundations, process, and stability. Mercury is just finishing up the work that Jupiter just did with 12 months in Cancer. This is a call to action for us to remove what is causing imbalance, instability, disharmony, and lack of flow.
And this is not just about other people, it is about the instability and disharmony that we create for ourselves by not honoring our needs, not limiting the energy we share, not creating strong intentions, and not maintaining energy boundaries. We are often the source of our own disempowerment, even though we do not do it intentionally or on purpose.
July’s energy theme is Harmony, Balance, and Truth. This is not keeping the peace to avoid drama, saying ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no,’ being available to anyone for anything to avoid trouble. This is maintaining energetic harmony, frequency, balance, and standing in your truth. The truth of what you believe for yourself, of what is right and best for you, of keeping your own peace of mind, heart, and spirit.
