The celestial week begins with the Sun rising in majestic Leo, illuminating an opportunity to choose between an established or innovative pathway to accomplish the purpose of individuality. Mercury retrograde stands in front of the Sun at twelve degrees of Leo with a message to rise above superficiality into receptivity and peace with others. (1)
When Mercury is retrograde, it appears to backtrack over previously covered degrees, revealing what was hidden or not obvious at the time. What is often neglected during the Mercury retrograde cycle is the relationship that Mercury has with the Sun, which creates the cycle itself, causing disruptions in schedules, travel, and other forms of communication.
As the Sun progresses through the degrees that Mercury had already traveled over, the Sun is illuminating what was occurring at that time. With that in mind, Mercury traveled over six degrees of Leo on July 1, 2025, with the message that the Sun is illuminating today. Thus, the opportunity to choose between an established or innovative direction occurred then, which is illuminated now relative to one’s purpose.
Why does it matter? Uranus and Venus are in Gemini, governed by Mercury, while the Moon and Mars are in Virgo, also governed by Mercury. Therefore, innovative ideas can yield connections relative to relationships and resources when planted in the field of Virgo, with precision and the emotional nurturing of faith.
The key is to continue to cultivate those seeds of intention with the awareness that the process of manifestation requires time and patience for a fruitful harvest.
As the Moon and Mars are closely united today, it is an opportunity to align positive thoughts, emotions, and actions with a creative intention that will produce a harvest beyond the vision of the intention.
The Moon will go void of course later in the evening, so it is a good time to clear the mind (the field of intentions), and relax so the seed thoughts can begin to germinate new ideas in a peaceful state under a crescent lunar phase.
Shortly after midnight on July 29, the Moon glides gracefully into relationship-oriented Libra with an agenda to gain financial resources and support through ideas relevant to computers, software, audio projects, writing, and other forms of communication. Libra has a talent for artful and savvy persuasion, which is accentuated by Venus, the diplomat of Libra, cruising through communicative Gemini!
Just before the day ends on July 30, Venus wades into the emotional waters of Cancer for the next few weeks, so tears may flow easily at the drop of a hat, feelings may be worn on the sleeve, and comfort, home-cooked meals, and family activities are on the menu. The key is to keep in mind that the volume on sensitivity and vulnerability is turned up; therefore, being gentle with oneself and others will help keep the pressure-cooker energy from increasing.
On the afternoon of July 31, the Moon slips into the depths of the subconscious as it moves into penetrating Scorpio, with a quest to seek hidden information from or about friendships to confirm what is already suspected. Mars is the warden of Scorpio, and is traveling through conscious-minded Virgo, with a message to look within personal trustworthy behaviors before projecting them onto others. Otherwise, those projections may come back with a few of their own!
Later in the evening, Mercury retrograde in Leo unites with the Sun in Leo with a flashing yellow light about the Mercury retrograde cycle. While it is too soon to step on the gas regarding projects and plans on the back burner, it is a turning point in the process. At this point in the cycle, the implication is to move forward and proceed with caution about relationship or partnership commitments.
On the morning of August 1, Venus in Cancer challenges Saturn retrograde in Aries about dragging its heels over commitments to career goals, financial and emotional security, and family matters. The caveat is that Saturn retrograde in Aries is working on all of these concerns, but it is a work in progress. Thus, patience and understanding are not only necessary, but it is the difference that makes a difference in everything working out smoothly over time.
Later in the afternoon, the patience of Venus in Cancer is quickly evaporating with Neptune retrograde in Aries, who seems to be confused about what is the perceived issues over delayed actions and misinformation about joint resources and intimate relationships.

The celestial week of July 21, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in fluid-moving Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to consider the value of new beginnings relative to home and family by comparisons and similarities. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and the Moon’s gravitational pull generates a tidal force upon the ocean. Interestingly enough, the astrological influence of Cancer is characterized as the movement of emotions based on automatic responses to stimuli, preceding the physical sensations experienced with the body as a signal to pay attention to what is being felt.
When the Sun travels through the constellation of Cancer, this experience is heightened and often is the basis of unconsciously projecting them onto others as psychically insightful impressions. While the impression may be accurate, they may also be what is being felt by others and experienced by oneself. The key to experiencing the higher vibration of the Sun in Cancer is being able to distinguish what is about yourself or what is being experienced by someone else, yet feels like it is yours. This ability is valuable in the process of authentically creating personal reality with congruent emotional feelings, or experiencing what others desire for you.
Meanwhile, the Moon is two-stepping through flighty Gemini with an emotional message relative to the shifting energy of friendships and values. The lunar phase between the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Gemini became balsamic minutes before the Sun rose. The energy of this lunar phase is indicative of an opportunity to release what no longer works or is the highest good of all concerned. As such, friendships and relationships that are not on the same page of relating may go by the wayside abruptly.
The Moon’s first planetary encounter is with evolutionary, unpredictable Uranus in Gemini, followed by breakfast with grumpy Saturn retrograde in Aries and Neptune still not awake retrograde in Aries, before engaging favorably with transformational Pluto retrograde in Aquarius!
What does that mean? Hang onto whatever is handy, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Gemini energy is witty, quick, and entertaining, so it could also be fun as intuitive emotional insights give information about what is working and what isn’t, what to do about it, or just let it go without emotional attachment.
Before the day ends, Venus in Gemini challenges the North Node in Pisces with chatty conversation about nothing, which irritates the North Node, who only wants to experience a peaceful evening without meaningless chatter. However, Venus in Gemini is governed by Mercury retrograde in Leo, so there may be a price to pay for the retreating in silence when Venus wants to play!
Just before the work day begins on July 22, the Moon wades into the emotional pool of Cancer for a cup of coffee, only to discover that Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries have emptied the pot! Needless to say, the morning starts with a hint of frustration that may increase with traffic delays! Later in the morning, the Moon addresses Pluto retrograde in Aquarius with an attitude adjustment about a lack of information regarding an important deadline!
Shortly after, the tension increases as the Sun announces its entry into grandiose Leo with an unexpected shift in position to save grace over recent chaotic changes related to news, media, and the freedom of speech on a world stage! While the Sun appears to have the support of Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, as well as Uranus in Gemini, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is having none of it, as confrontations are evident over authoritative overreaching power plays! The caveat is that Mercury is retrograde in Leo and has a great deal to reveal about the status of what has been hidden!
In the early hours of July 23, relationship challenges continue as Pluto in Gemini discovers what has been hidden and confronts Mars in Virgo with evidence! Both Venus in Gemini and Mars in Virgo are ruled by Mercury, the messenger retrograde in Leo, so the cat is out of the bag, as Mercury shines a bright light on the truth!
On July 24, the Moon joins the Sun and Mercury, on the stage of Leo, to add some emotional drama to unfolding events that have captured national attention! Saturn and Neptune, retrograde in Aries, continue to stand by without taking action to restrain the grandstanding of the Leo actors, as Pluto retrograde in Aquarius prepares to confront them over issues related to power, freedom, and equality, or rather the lack of it being demonstrated as the show goes on!
Later in the afternoon, the Sun and Moon unite in Leo with grand gestures of egotistic pride that fools no one, as Pluto retrograde in Aquarius continues to illuminate controlling power plays with unpredictable resistance! The caveat is that as Mercury continues to retrograde in Leo, more information will come to light that may weaken negotiations and compromises intended to balance upcoming confrontations with equitable solutions.
In the early hours of July 25, the Sun in Leo opposes Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, so the Sun may have the upper hand momentarily, which is subject to change in October when Pluto begins to move forward! Thus, now is not the time to count the chickens before they hatch, or to put all of the eggs in one basket!

The celestial week begins with the Sun rising in retrospective Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to share higher knowledge gleaned from past experiences with others to reconnect with spiritual ideals. Cancer energy is governed by the Moon drifting through visionary Pisces, restoring the reconnection with emotional faith.
Meanwhile, Jupiter, the daily ruler of Pisces, is also flowing through watery Cancer with an opportunity to emulate higher forms of authority by choosing to respond to circumstances instead of reacting. At the same time, Neptune, the transcendental ruler of Pisces, is doing a backstroke in action-oriented Aries, testing the patience of a saint!
Saturn has joined the backwards motion in Aries; thus, responsible actions to handle impatience are up to Mars in Virgo to communicate appropriate boundaries. However, Mercury is the planetary communicator and is in Leo and in the shadow of retrograde motion. Therefore, Mars is on its own to manage responsible actions, communication, and daily routines.
The emotional climate shifts just before midnight as the Moon blazes into temperamental Aries with a fiery desire to burn emotional bridges with others who are unwilling to resolve ongoing issues with direct communication. The caveat is that there is a tendency for Aries energy to jump the gun with premature actions that don’t offer solutions. Thus, the key is to think before reacting and be willing to listen or consider how the other person is experiencing your communication.
Otherwise, Mars, the ruling warrior of Aries, is traveling through conscious Virgo, and may react with words sharper than knives that cut through the chase, and potentially harm relationships needlessly. As Mercury is the liaison of Virgo and is almost standing still in the glory of Leo, unnecessary drama and hurt feelings may require time to heal, yet still leave emotional scars.
Just before midnight on July 17, Mercury begins to retreat from the drama-trauma recently created or contributed by, “my head is too big for my hat,” egotistic Leo! The other side of the Leo coin is a generous, good-hearted effort to share creative advice from a perspective of love. However, unsolicited advice may fall flat with the feeling of boundaries being trespassed. As the saying “silence is golden” goes, it is certainly appropriate for Mercury retrograde in Leo!
On another note, the value of gold may begin to decline, large purchases may have to be returned if they turn out to be more glitter than gold, and relationships can unravel if partners are tempted to flirt with fire!
In the early hours of July 18, the Moon slips into calm, earthy Taurus with an emotional desire to sleep deeper and later, or take the day off and lounge around with a head start on the weekend! After all, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto are all away on vacation, so who is going to notice? Venus and Uranus are both in Gemini, getting the job done under the supervision of Mars in Virgo, so at least go in later or take off early!

The celestial week of July 7, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in sensitive, caring Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to gain control over one’s inner and outer life by opening one’s heart to new realizations about relating. The caveat is that the caretaker of Cancer is the Moon, who is traveling through enthusiastic Sagittarius with an emotional need to expand creative horizons, instead of wading into a deep pond of emotions to explore feelings relative to childhood, home, and family.
Yet, Jupiter, the philosophical ruler of Sagittarius, has just relocated to Cancer and is stirring up unresolved or unhealed emotional experiences of the past twelve years for resolutions, so that new growth, expansion, and opportunities can be cultivated.
However, as the Moon in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Cancer are exchanging astrological signs, they are inclined to work together to release emotional issues. Although each one goes about it differently, it requires a shift of perception from each to obtain the desired results. Thus, teasing fun may soothe abrupt emotional outbursts to relieve the building tension.
If there seems to be an unpredictable shift in the air over impending changes, it could be because Uranus arrived in Gemini before the sun came up, where it will reside until November 2025, before it retrogrades back into earthly, calm Taurus until April 2026.
Hence, there is a four-month preview of which way the winds of change are blowing relative to information, broadcasting, freedom of speech, air travel, AI, electronic devices, and unpredictable weather events due to air, water, and fire that erupts uncontrollably.
The key to navigating Uranus in Gemini during the next several years, who is in cahoots with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and Saturn and Neptune in Aries, is in the awareness and power of thoughts, language, actions, vision, and responsibility to create the nature of personal and collective reality.
On a personal level, shifts in consciousness occur with curiosity, intuitive insights, fearless actions, inspirational visions, and responsible attitudes can lead to the quick development of innovative ideas and projects.
On a collective level, the last time Uranus traveled through Gemini was between 1941 – 1949, which included the end of WW II, the beginning of the Cold War, and the start of the nuclear age. There were also significant developments in radio broadcasting, computers, and early forms of mass media, among many other changes in revolutionary technology.
By the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the country and the birthchart of the United States of America were born, with Uranus in Gemini. With this evolutionary planet in the airy sign of Gemini, liberty, freedom, and equality would become the foundation of a nation worth fighting for and preserving. Every eighty-four years after the USA would be involved in a war protecting those freedoms. In 1775-1783, it was the American Revolutionary War, in 1861-1865, the American Civil War, and in 1939-1945, World War II.
As Uranus travels through Gemini between July 2025-2033, will there be another chapter in history about the war in the US for equality, or will war become obsolete as a folly of superiority? Perhaps, the answer lies in the heart and mind of every citizen in the United States as humanity collectively and consciously creates a reality of peace or passively allows unlearned lessons from the past to continue influencing the present.
In the early hours of July 9, the Moon begins to climb an emotional mountain of Capricorn to establish an appropriate protocol of respect for relating as an acceptable code of conduct for all ages. The fly in the ointment is that Saturn, the CEO of Capricorn, is impulsively racing through hair-trigger Aries without a thought or plan for the consequences, instead of leading with authority. Saturn in Aries tends to take everything personally, resorting to temper tantrums when it has to obey the rules.
However, Mars is the superintendent of Aries and is positioned in conscious Virgo, to assist the Moon in Capricorn with wayward, unruly adults acting like children. Yet, Mercury, the messenger of Virgo, is in the shadow of its upcoming retrograde cycle, so addressing resistance from the heavy-handed behaviors of Saturn in Aries, aided by Neptune in Aries. Thus, it may require a great deal of patience and perseverance to gain any traction. There may be some relief when Saturn joins Neptune in retrograde motion on July 12.
The full moon occurs on July 10, as the Sun in Cancer opposes the Moon in Capricorn, illuminating the cooperation necessary to commit to relieving responsible adults from carrying the weight of responsibility for adult children.
The emotional climate shifts unexpectedly after lunch on July 11, as the Moon announces its presence in emotionally detached Aquarius. The Moon’s first planetary encounter is with Saturn in Aries, followed by Neptune in Aries, with intuitive insights to shift the current narrative of reckless behaviors. The Moon then aligns with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius to strategize power moves to regain control without appearing to.
