This month’s planet transits discussed by Marga; “May this month bring you peace, centeredness, and a clearer perspective on yourself and the world, even amidst its challenges.”
And the innermost, the ultimate experience, which is not an experience at all, happens only when all mirrors are broken. You don’t trust any mirror; you go on dropping them all. You go on moving inwards, inwards, inwards, and a moment comes when only you are and nothing else. You cannot even assert ‘I’, because even that assertion needs ‘thou’. Great courage is needed.”
Osho, Beloved of My Heart, Ch 14
July begins under a relatively quiet sky, as if giving us a chance to breathe after the intense activations of previous months. The month stands out for its relative stillness in terms of channel definitions: there are no significant connections between planets, apart from the fleeting passages of the Moon and a few short-lived connections among other celestial bodies.
This energetic thinning is not to be underestimated. In Human Design, when planets do not define channels in the sky, we witness the so-called “reflector chart”: the collective bodygraph appears white, like a mirror ready to reflect whatever stands before it. This does not mean a lack of energy, but rather the absence of a fixed direction. It doesn’t prevent action – on the contrary, action may appear heightened or chaotic. The invitation is to become a witness, to observe what happens inside and out, without automatic reactions. It is a precious time to develop awareness.
Personal influence of transits
As we’ve already mentioned in the past, planetary positions can define channels in each individual’s chart, even when not forming channels among themselves. This can temporarily shift one’s energetic configuration and open new possibilities. At the end of this article, you’ll find the slow planets’ positions and the channels they may activate: check if you have the other gate in your chart.
Here are this month’s channel definitions:
Moon transits and temporary activations
- July 7: The Moon enters Gate 9 (Applied Details) and meets Jupiter in Gate 52 (The Mountain), activating the Channel of Concentration (9–52). Being a format channel, even a short transit can strongly influence the tone and rhythm, especially regarding the direction of plans and projects initiated at this time.
- July 9: The Moon enters Gate 10 (Behavior) and meets Venus in Gate 20 (The Now), activating the Channel of Awakening (10–20).
- July 11: The Moon enters Gate 60 (Limitation) and meets Chiron in Gate 3 (Beginning), forming the Channel of Mutation (3–60). This is also a format channel with a powerful evolutionary impact despite its short duration.
- July 16: The Moon enters Gate 17 (Opinions) and meets the Sun in Gate 62 (Expressed Details), activating the Channel of the Organizer (17–62).
- July 17: The Moon enters Gate 51 (The Arousing – Thunder) and meets Saturn and Neptune in Gate 25 (Innocence), activating the Channel of Initiation (25–51).
- July 30: The Moon enters Gate 57 (Instinct) and meets Uranus in Gate 20 (The Now), forming the Channel of Awareness (57–20), related to spontaneous intuitive clarity in the present moment.
Other channels this month
- July 7-16: Mars in Gate 64 and the South Node in Gate 47 form the Channel of the Abstract Mind. So prepare yourselves for understandings and clarifications that will sometimes arrive in a stormy and mysterious way, but that will help you to… transmute what is now too old to be kept as it is!
- July 19–24: The Earth in Gate 60 (Limitation) meets Chiron in Gate 3 (Beginning), reactivating the Channel of Mutation (3–60).
- July 25–29: The North Node in Gate 22 (Grace) meets Venus in Gate 12 (Standstill), forming the Channel of Openness (12–22).
- July 25: The Sun in Gate 31 (Influence) joins Mercury retrograde in Gate 7 (Army), forming the Channel of the Alpha (7–31), a logical form of leadership within groups and collective dynamics.
Positions of the slow-moving planets in July:
- Jupiter
Until July 21 in Gate 52 (The Mountain, Channel 9–52), and from July 22 in Gate 39 (Provocation, Channel 39–55). - Saturn
Always in Gate 25 (Innocence, Channel 25–51), goes retrograde on July 13. - Uranus
On July 9 moves from Gate 8 (Contribution) to Gate 20 (The Now, Channels 20–10, 20–57, 20–34), officially leaving the sign of Taurus and entering Gemini. - Neptune
Always in Gate 25 (Innocence, Channel 25–51), goes retrograde on July 4. - Pluto
Still retrograde in Gate 41(Imagination, Channel 30–41).
July, with its suspended and rarefied atmosphere, may offer the ideal space to hear what normally cannot be heard amidst the noise of everyday life. It is a month that can teach presence in emptiness, trust in stillness, and the clarity that arises from silence.
May this month bring you peace, centeredness, and a clearer perspective on yourself and the world, even amidst its challenges.
