June 27 – This is a quieter week as Neptune prepares to Station Retrograde on July 4, with Mercury aspects occurring this weekend. The Neptunian projection screen is up and may feel subtle this week, as we have no major aspects from June 30 to July 3, but the undercurrent is dissolving boundaries, creating openings and offering illumination depending on where you are.
Mercury is your thoughts, communications and how you think and process info. Mercury is in Leo and it wants to be heard and it wants to express itself, creatively and with ideas.
From June 27 – 29, Mercury will trine Saturn, Neptune and oppose Pluto, speaking to info of all kinds – what you see, hear, read and what it means (which is subjective), based on your beliefs and sources. Saturn wants facts and parameters and Neptune blurs boundaries, is creative and can undermine clarity with confusion. Don’t fear confusion, as it can be the breakdown of the “known,” allowing for a new ideas, visions and perspectives to emerge.
June 27 – Mercury trine Saturn. Saturn calls for practical structures, decisions and plans to stabilize your world and help you move forward. Be sure to operate from your Inner Guidance when making decisions, rather than following others if you want to live from your Higher Truth. You can’t create a life that honors your truth unless you trust the inner voice of your Authentic Self (which, for many, is a yes-no feeling).
Also, notice if your thinking is evolving with you. If you’re operating in old paradigms and ideas that need a refresh, how can you approach life in ways that are more appropriate for where you (we) are now? Consider what needs updating and where there is resistance to change (internally or externally). Be gentle with yourself, as you will change when you’re ready.
June 28 – Mercury trine Neptune. As you seek to stabilize in Saturn (with a direction, decision, plan or next steps), you can utilize Neptune to access your dreams, imagination, compassion, intuition and creativity for inspiration, connecting to higher realms and All That Is. Your dreams may show you how to proceed, as your consciousness ascends to new areas of possibility. You are reconfiguring your path, as Neptune and Saturn embody the Yin and Yang. With Mercury in Leo, you may want to speak, sing, perform or be heard in some other way today; create and do your thing!
June 29 – Mercury opposite Pluto. On the global stage, hidden info will be revealed, but with Neptune in the mix, it may be hard to discern what is true due to mixed messages. Or a dominant Pluto type will suppress and/or withhold info, silencing others, as secrets, hidden agendas, leaks and power struggles are to be expected.
For you, Pluto can dig deep to process unconscious material for healing and can create a breakthrough for a blind spot, if you choose to seek it. Pluto-Mercury is stellar for focus and insight, but avoid verbal sparring and know that if you ask probing questions, the info revealed can be a shadowy truth that was hidden to protect someone. It’s possible to transform old thought patterns if you question your own troubling or stuck thoughts / beliefs, but you have to be fearlessly honest with yourself and open-minded to do it.
The next three days, June 30 – July 3, there are no major aspects as we approach the July 4 holiday weekend.
July 4 – Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus. On the final weekend of Uranus in Taurus, Venus arrives to create a shakeup, a sudden change to Venus areas of your life – your values, how you value your Self, what you allow yourself to be, do or have. You may spontaneously have a style makeover, a home redo or upgrade a creative aspect of your life. If you’ve felt stuck in a rut, this is a fabulous day to do something out of the ordinary and take a walk on the wild side. Whatever it is, pertaining to relationships, creativity, $$ (a splurge?) or anyone / anything you love or desire, enjoy it. Allow yourself the luxury of expressing your authenticity joyfully and receiving the benefits of it!
July 4-29 – Venus in Gemini. Variety is the spice of life for this Venus loves to socialize, pursue various sources of pleasure and stimulation, is open and curious, seeking communication and info. This is perfect for networking, sharing, writing, dating, meeting new people and gathering with others. Whatever you value or love, apply the light, airy, inquisitive, adaptable Gemini desire for connection to it. Let it be playful and fun!
July 4-Dec 10, 2025 – Neptune Stations Retrograde, first through Aries (until Oct 21), then back into the final degree of Pisces. For now, you will be integrating shifts that you’ve experienced since Neptune entered Aries in April ’25. You may not feel it, although it’s operating in the background anyway.
Neptune holds infinite potential, Oneness and All That Is, as it invites you to dream a dream that transcends 3D limitations. Anything that’s in your consciousness is meant for you, even it you don’t see how it’s possible to create. Allow the vision to come through and ask to be guided – and keep holding the dream. It will be amazing to witness what unfolds as you traverse the weeks, months and years ahead.
If you feel lost, sluggish, disillusioned or unmotivated, you may be having a Neptune transit to a planet or angle that is unwinding old ego structures for your renewal. Unless this interferes with your functioning, roll with it, and if you need support, seek it. Everything is conspiring for your Highest Good.
Spiritual practices are soul food for Neptune, as well as intuitive and creative expression, selfless service and rejuvenation via nature. Keep a dream (or daydream) journal, write stream of consciousness and practice Being. Create an altar and set intentions. Soothe your nervous system with calming, nurturing activities you choose and know that water is healing (a bath, the ocean, a pool or a lake). Allow regular space for “down time,” when you do nothing (yes, it’s legal). Rest. Dream. Watch an inspiring movie. Imagine…
This is the week before takeoff, as we enter July. On July 7, Uranus leaves Taurus to enter Gemini, which is a lightning quick and monumental upgrade for the planet of revolution. Get ready to shift into high gear!
Trust that you are here now on purpose and keep moving along on your path of awakening. Also, remember that every ending is a new beginning, a time for growth.
May you be filled with light and love. I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
