Four planetary transits anchor this week - Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Rohini, Venus in Magha, and Venus conjunct Ketu in Leo. Each one is shaping a different area of your life right now.

Four transits, four invitations. Here is what each one is asking of you.

✦ Jul 04 - Jul 19

Jupiter in Pushya Pada 2.

Jupiter, the planet of knowledge and expansion, is in pada two of Pushya, within the sign of Cancer, from July 4th to 19th, 2026. This is a natural and potent place for Jupiter to express itself, in its most favored sign and an auspicious nakshatra, where your protective qualities are at their height. Pada Two relates to Virgo navamsha, which gives a more intellectual approach to understanding and favors study and focusing on fine details.

Your Predictions →

This can be a useful contrast to Jupiter's usual big-picture style, where you zoom in closely and pay attention to technique. You are service-oriented at this point and can perform a useful task and raise standards for everyone you work with. Business affairs are favorable, where you bring people together through shared interests and have a natural commercial flair.

✦ Jul 04 - Jul 23

Mars in Rohini.

Mars, the planet of courage and initiative, is in Rohini within the sign of Taurus from July 4th to 23rd, 2026. Rohini is one of the truly auspicious nakshatras, renowned for its beauty, charm, flirtatious nature, and links with planting and agriculture. Mars's impetuous fiery approach can be harsh on Rohini's gentle and leisurely nature, though this is also a Rajasic, action-oriented nakshatra, where you simply work in a different style and direction.

Your Predictions →

You do well in classically feminine areas, luxuries, and fashion, where you manage your image and artistic ambitions and send out the right signals. Try operating more slowly and deliberately, as Mars grounds your plans and focuses on security and stability, in a classic 'marathon rather than sprint' style.

✦ Jul 04 - Jul 16

Venus in Magha.

Venus, the planet of relationships, enters the nakshatra of Magha in the sign of Leo from July 4th to 16th, 2026. Magha's name translates to 'The Mighty,' and its symbol of a throne room shows your grand ambition, as Venus gives you the desire to give your partner the royal treatment. It also plays up your own high expectations where only the best will do, and you can cultivate important contacts and enjoy an influential circle.

Your Predictions →

Be mindful of giving an air of regal favoritism, however, as good fortune really finds you when you lavish your affection without thought of a reward. This nakshatra's ruling deity, the Pitris, the ancestral spirits, gives you an awareness of history and tradition, and this is a great time to arrange and enjoy a family occasion or birthday celebration.

✦ Jul 04 - Aug 01

Ketu Venus Conjunction in Leo.

Venus, the planet of relationships, comes together with shadowy Ketu in Leo from July 4th to August 1st, 2026. This conjunction gives you a warm and insightful approach to love, especially if your partner is in distress or needs sympathy and support. In the sign of Leo, you have a need for acclaim and a sense of importance in your relationship, so look for a balance between empathy and your own self-respect.

Your Predictions →

There may also be echoes of a relationship that began or was meaningful through mid-September and early October of 2025, when this same combination was last in effect. A fated quality brings an experience around again, particularly if there was unfinished romantic business. With Ketu now in Magha, you give wonderful qualities to a friend or lover and find a rare unspoken rapport, but your attention must also be reciprocated.
