How to plan the week and what to watch for
The week of July 20–26 looks considerably more stable than the previous one. Most of it is well suited to active work, project development, important meetings, and decision-making.
There are two things to keep in mind.
First, the period of Mercury retrograde continues until July 23. This does not mean that everything must be postponed, but documents, agreements, and important correspondence should be checked especially carefully.
Second, the most challenging days fall at the end of the week. If you can choose your dates, it is therefore best to resolve your main matters between Monday and Friday.
Time quality manifests differently for each person depending on their date of birth. To find the most suitable day for your own goals, use the Date Selection tool.
Key dates this week
🌿 The strongest days of the week: July 20–24
Most of the week offers strong support for professional matters, negotiations, project development, and steady progress.
If you have long postponed important meetings, completing paperwork, or launching new tasks, the first half of the week provides good opportunities to address them.
The distinctive qualities of each day are still worth considering, however.
📌 July 23: Mercury retrograde ends
The period of Mercury retrograde ends on July 23.
If recent weeks have brought more delays, revisions, or the need to revisit matters that seemed settled, these processes will gradually begin to ease.
This is a good time to complete unfinished work and begin moving gradually toward implementing new plans.
⚠️ The most challenging days: July 25 and 26
The weekend requires a little more attention.
July 25 clashes with the year’s energy, so unexpected changes of plan, delays, and misunderstandings are possible.
July 26 is a Destruction Day that also clashes with the month. If you have a choice, it is better to move important decisions, new project launches, and serious negotiations to other days.

July 21 · Removing Day

July 22 · Fullness Day
The Fullness Day is associated with accumulating and multiplying results.
It favors project development, increasing resources, financial matters, acquisitions, and everything connected with growth.
The Monthly Calamity Sha is also active and can manifest through misunderstandings in relationships, especially with members of the opposite sex. You should also pay closer attention to how you feel and avoid overexertion.
Clash: Rabbit.
July 23 · Balance Day
The Balance Day supports compromise, negotiations, and the restoration of equilibrium.
It is a good day for discussing important matters, aligning positions, and finding mutually beneficial solutions.
The period of Mercury retrograde ends on July 23.
The Monthly Delay Sha is active, however, so some processes may move more slowly than usual. If timing matters, allow a little extra time in advance.
Clash: Dragon.
July 24 · Stability Day
The Stability Day is well suited to consolidating results already achieved, formalizing long-term agreements, and working steadily.

July 25 · Holding Day
The Holding Day is oriented toward preserving what has already been achieved.
It is well suited to protecting resources, strengthening existing positions, completing current processes, and maintaining stability.
The day clashes with the year, however, and the Yearly Calamity Sha is also present. Important negotiations and decisions may therefore require more patience, and communication calls for special care.
Clash: Horse.
July 26 · Destruction Day
The Destruction Day ends the week.
Its energy is directed toward completing, dismantling, and ending what has run its course rather than creating something new.
In addition to the indicator itself, the day clashes with the month, and the Yearly Delay Sha is active. This makes the date considerably less suitable for new project launches, important negotiations, and long-term decisions.
If you have a choice, it is better to devote the day to completing current matters and preparing for the following week.
