The celestial week of July 20th, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in sensitive, emotionally vulnerable Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to shine a light on challenging the status quo of introducing new people into usual intimate family or business circles with loving kindness and acceptance, instead of judgmental attitudes.
The Moon is the ruler of Cancer and is currently positioned in relationship-oriented Libra to emotionally disconnect from the pain of past relationships while remaining true to oneself and others through Venus, the goddess of Libra, as it heals them in Virgo. Mercury retrograde in Cancer offers the message that small, careful beginnings can lead to a beautiful flowering, with emotional care through communication.
On a transcendental level of consciousness, the ongoing cat’s cradle configuration is taking place and peaks before the Sun rises with Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, Jupiter in Leo, and Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, with each planet at four degrees respectively in their astrological sign, acknowledged as a basket configuration or cat’s cradle with an emphasis on the laying of a solid foundation with divine support into a new era of technology, decentralized power, and community-driven ideals.
As the Sun rises in the collective grouping, Jupiter in Leo presents itself proudly as the leader that either rocks the cradle from the heart of the lion or prances through the sky with a look-at-me posturing attitude, only to be opposed by Pluto retrograde in Aquarius with a withering icy contempt for attempting to steal the spotlight from humanitarian causes of freedom and equality for all.
The caveat is that Pluto retrograde in Aquarius personifies the “immovable object meets the irresistible force” of Jupiter in Leo, calling for a mutual respect of positions without destroying the potential of lasting change and transformation of the heart. Thus, recognizing the Divine within each position with unconditional love has the power to shift stubborn hearts and attitudes when Pluto goes direct in October 2026 or miss the opportunity of a lifetime!
Pluto retrograde in Aquarius garners support from Neptune retrograde in Aries to dissolve unconscious victimization issues with courageous actions of complete transparency to own a higher vibration of consciousness, while Uranus in Gemini brings ideas, technology, and intuitive insights together to revolutionize communication. As Uranus is the planet of intuition, it may become easier to read the thoughts of others objectively, but can it be done without taking it personally?
As Carl Jung stated, everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves. Suggesting that an evolutionary opportunity is at hand to own what is perceived about others as an internal direction and become personally responsible as a CEO of creating personal reality to honor the configuration with Jupiter in Leo from the heart.
As the work day begins on July 21st, the Moon slips into mysterious Scorpio to heal wounds of abandonment with Chiron in Taurus before a fixed grand cross occurs in the early evening, with an opportunity to emotionally transform issues of control, power, and mistrustful behaviors relative to values with clear communication of boundaries around creativity, romance, children, and friendships.
The energy of a fixed cross in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius can become a relentless, determined attitude of ‘my way or the highway’ if stubborn hearts collide with power struggles over freedom, financial resources, and or relationship values. The key is to take a step back and question how we are not relating, with brutal emotional honesty, for the highest good of all concerned, to seek acceptable common ground for resolution and forward movement.
On the afternoon of July 22nd, the Sun rises and shines in all of its glory as it enters heart-warming or grand-standing Leo. The highest vibration of Leo energy demonstrates unconditional love from the heart as a creative expression that can either melt the hearts of others or harden them with a glint of false gold. As Jupiter is also riding high in the constellation of Leo, the key to consider is that all that glitters is not gold and may tarnish quickly if it presents as egotistic attitudes under the scrutiny of genuine appreciation.
Thus, the next 30 days are a mirrored reflection of what lies hidden in the heart for all to see. In the early afternoon of July 23rd, Mercury begins to move forward in emotionally sensitive Cancer, so all emotional messages and communication since June 12th will go through a review process until August 6th, when all the pieces come together as a coherent understanding of what was felt and communicated to clear up emotional misunderstandings.
Later in the evening, the Moon dives off the high board of emotion with heartfelt emotions to take a risk and open one’s heart, mind, and soul to unconditional love with no expectations, attachments, or agendas.

The celestial week of August 11, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in the crimson rays of leadership Leo, illuminating an opportunity to plan for shifts in time and seasonal variations. It is during this time of year that the first harvest of intentions planted at the Spring Equinox is arriving, with an indication if the upcoming second harvest at the Full Equinox will be barely enough to sustain one over the fall and winter season, or more than enough to share at Thanksgiving.
However, regardless of the results, there is still time to modify the intention to increase the yield before the Fall Equinox. Fortunately, Mercury, the planetary messenger, is station direct as the Sun rises, to evaluate the results, which may require jumping over a deep chasm with faith to achieve desired outcomes.
The caveat is that the Moon is void of course in Pisces until it moves into Aries on August 12. Thus, choices made now may be an indication that nothing will come of it. The Moon goes void of course approximately every two days, which can last a few minutes or several hours, depending on the interactions it has with other planets. It is during this time that decisions made may be changed, without explanation, when the Moon enters the next constellation. It is an excellent time for contemplation, reflection, and meditation, with a lackadaisical feeling. Therefore, today is a great day to consider the results and formulate a plan to put into action on August 12.
Now that Mercury is direct, creative projects and plans that have been simmering on the back burner for the past few weeks are positioned for forward movement on the front burner with the heat turned up gradually until August 25. Between now and then, the information needed about financial resources, relationships, and self-values related to creativity is illuminated with epiphanies!
In the early hours of August 12, Venus and Jupiter unite in emotionally sensitive Cancer with a showering of lady luck and good fortune! The Moon is the caretaker of Cancer and is void of course, so wishing upon a star before slipping off to dreamland may guide one on how to make those wishes come true!
Before the Sun rises on August 12, the Moon impulsively races into Aries before the coffee is brewed, with an emotional desire to get the ongoing planetary kite configuration between Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, Mars in Libra, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius off the ground! The opposition between Mars in Libra and Saturn/Neptune in Aries provides the ongoing tension to get the kite in the air with the flowing energy between Mars in Libra, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius. As the axiom, As Above, So Below, suggests, the planetary kite of energy is mirrored in the lives of humanity.
Therefore, Mars in Libra initiates actions through cooperation to put pressure on Saturn/Neptune in Aries to make a responsible commitment to an individual’s visionary path, which has the potential to include others with similar interests. The key is to harness the emotional momentum of the Moon in Aries to kickstart Saturn/Neptune in Aries, working in conjunction with Mars in Libra to facilitate authoritative negotiations and win-win solutions for innovative ideas to take flight.
On the morning of August 14, the Moon settles down into calm and gentle Taurus for a brief break of emotional preparation before it squares off later with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius and Mercury in Leo to quietly meditate on differences before theatrical communication and detached attitudes change relationships with friends, children, and/or romantic partners, which may be difficult to mend fences once tempers cool off!

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!
