Times are for New Delhi; ingress dates of slow planets can differ by a day between panchangs.

General Predictions for July 2026
Mercury is retrograde for part of the month: a time to revise, re-check documents and finish pending work rather than sign new contracts; decisions move more easily once it turns direct. Jupiter is exalted in Karka, supporting learning, family life and ethical decisions for most signs. Station days, when a slow planet is felt most strongly: Saturn turns retrograde in Meena on Sun 26 Jul. Saturn in Meena keeps Sade Sati running for Kumbha, Meena and Mesha Moon signs, and the dhaiya (small panoti) for Simha and Dhanu.
