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.

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.
