Saturn retrograde and North Node shift start astrological week on July 26, 2026

Two horoscope columns note that the astrological week beginning July 26, 2026 features the start of Saturn retrograde and the entry of the North Node into Aquarius. The retrograde is reported to begin on July 26 and will last for several months, prompting a period of self‑reflection and review of personal goals. The lunar nodes shift on the same day, moving the North Node from Pisces to Aquarius and the South Node from Virgo to Leo, an 18‑month cycle said to encourage creativity and personal growth. A full Moon in Aquarius is forecast for July 29, highlighting the same themes.
