Your horoscope

THE second half of July carries a very different vibration compared with the first half. Much of the pressure the world has experienced over the past few months comes from the intense interaction of slow-moving karmic planets.

Saturn has been demanding accountability, discipline and the consequences of past actions, while Rahu and Ketu have continued to create uncertainty, misinformation, political instability and sudden global events.

Mars has amplified aggression, leading to heightened military tensions, conflicts, protests and economic uncertainty in many parts of the world. Countries such as South Africa have also experienced periods of instability due to a combination of economic pressures, social unrest and these challenging planetary influences, particularly where Mars and Rahu have intensified frustration and public dissatisfaction.

As we move into the second half of July, the energy gradually begins to shift. While challenges have not completely disappeared, Jupiter's protective influence starts bringing opportunities for wisdom, negotiations, financial recovery and better decision-making. The focus now moves from conflict toward rebuilding, healing and long-term planning.
