Cosmic Insights – July 14, 2025 July 13, 2025

By Veronica G. Hartman

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!
