With Uranus in Gemini, the pace of life is accelerating to propel us into a new world. You need to take care of yourself in order to process the multitude of energies that are incoming, as nutritious food, water, rest and movement will support your well being. Choose an area to focus on if you are out of balance and start from there, as Jupiter in Cancer highlights your needs and nourishment…

 

Neptune and Saturn entered Aries on March 30th and May 24th, respectively, while Uranus entered Gemini on July 7. Three transpersonal planets changed signs within months of each other (recalibrating the cosmic playing field), while Pluto made a brief move into Aquarius in 2023 and then returned in Nov 2024 for twenty years. All the outer planets are currently in new territory, upending old systems and structures, forcing us to adapt and regroup as we encounter a new cosmic palette that will inform our consciousness and the landscape. 

 

We just had a Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10, ruled by Saturn in Aries. Saturn Stations Retrograde on July 12/13, following Neptune’s Retrograde in Aries on July 4, with Mercury Retrograde arriving on July 17/18. 

 

Neptune and Saturn Retrograde together in Aries in July and Aug, retracing territory you’ve covered since April and May ’25, before both move into Pisces through for a final sweep in the fall. This can feel like undertow pulling you back as you try to move forward. Or like you’re standing between worlds (the old and the new), not fully in either one 100%.

 

July 11-13 – The Sun trine the North Node of Destiny/Fate. This is a potent time for spiritual alignment, intuitive wisdom, compassion and creativity, as these caring water signs (Pisces-Cancer) support surrender, trust and emotional healing. Be open to a Divine arrival – a person, group or fated event that leads you in a new direction or opens a door for you. Anything is possible; even something wonderful! 

 

July 12 – Saturn Retrograde in Aries @ 9:07pm PDT (July 13 EDT). Saturn will be in Aries through Sept ’25 as it’s backing over terrain traversed since late May. Saturn in Aries activates a new path, project, purpose or focus and this initiation at 1º Aries is meant to activate something fresh, even if you don’t know the whole picture yet. This is a preview of coming attractions that will resume in mid-Feb ’26 when Saturn returns to Aries for two years, and your job is to prepare by doing whatever is needed now. 

 

Think about where you’re going, what you’re doing and what needs to be addressed. Consider any new structures, work or roles you’ve taken on, commitments or responsibilities you are engaged in that are ripe for reassessment and review. Remember, Saturn is the Lord of Karma in that you get back what you put out. And with Neptune in the mix, you can shift from confusion to imagination in order to create a “positive” story if you feel lost or struggling. You have more power than you know – and your mind will follow your dreams if you allow it to.  

 

Self-trust is major during this time of introspection – and if you experience fear that blocks you, your work is to explore and integrate the fear. Don’t assume your fears are protecting you if they hold you hostage. How do you know? If they prevent you from freely taking actions and moving toward your desires, you may have a problem (even if your logical mind gives you good reasons for the fear). Allow yourself to receive support to awaken to anything that’s blocking you during this time. You will be so grateful when you are free!

 

July 17-Aug 11 – Mercury Retrograde @ 15º Leo 9:45pm PDT. Can you freely express yourself, whether via words, art, music, style, cooking, decorating. Recover your childlike sense of wonder and what you did for fun when you were young. Find playmates and give yourself permission to play. Lighten up. Allow a time-out from the mind to shift into your heart to radiate joy. Just a few suggestions to course correct heaviness, inhibitions or seriousness.

 

This won’t be as rough as some of the past Mercury Retros, as it won’t make many aspects. But the usual guidance applies – use this time to slow down, double-check travel details, clear clutter, purge what’s extraneous, organize, communicate clearly, work on projects already begun and avoid major purchases or decisions if possible. There’s more in my free report (click link above). Some people don’t pay any mind to Mercury Retro – and it’s your choice. Follow your own guidance when making decisions about this or anything.

 

I am working with a personal trainer to increase my strength after too many years of sitting in front of a computer and it feels incredible. Even at my age, I am seeing my muscles respond to the training and my intuition says this is an important move. The stronger you feel (inside and out), the more empowered you are – and drink lots of water to fuel your brain, body and system so it can cleanse itself. My dear friend Linda says that not drinking enough water is like trying to run a dishwasher with an inch of water. I love that.

 

Embrace your review, attune to your Inner Guidance for direction, and trust that you are here now on time.  You are in The Turning, a collective shift in consciousness, a threshold era – a liminal time of dissolution and rebirth. 

 

May you be filled with light and love. I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

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 a Venus area of your life, either chosen by you or imposed upon you. This can impact what you’ll allow yourself to be, do or have, as an unexpected impulse may burst forth from within, demanding attention, and you may spontaneously change an aspect of a relationship, your Self or your life. 

 

If you’ve been stuck in a rut, this is a fabulous day to stretch and take a walk on the wild side re: creativity, relationships, $$ or anything you love or desire, step out of the box and express your Authentic Self. Example – I recently met a school principal who secretly longs to be a jazz singer. I told her to go sing at clubs on open mic nights or wherever she can. One small step can open new doors… What might you try? 

 

July 4 – Venus in Gemini (through 7/29). Variety is the spice of life as this Venus loves variety, is curious, seeking communication and info. It’s perfect for networking, sharing, writing, dating, creative expression, meet-ups and gathering with others. Whatever you value or love, apply the light, quick, nimble, inquisitive, adaptable Gemini desire for connection to it. Let it be playful and fun!

 

July 4-Dec 10, 2025 – Neptune Stations Retrograde in Aries (until Oct 21), then backs into the final degree of Pisces. For now, you will be integrating shifts that you’ve experienced since Neptune entered Aries in April ’25 – the birth of a new dream. You may not feel it, but 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 can’t see how it’s possible. Keep holding the vision and dream. You will be amazed at what unfolds as you traverse the weeks, months and years ahead if you stay with it. Also, notice any fears or stories that have been holding you hostage and blocking you from moving forward – and be willing to integrate them with support from a helper, if needed. 

 

Spiritual practices are soul food for Neptune, as well as intuitive and creative expression, selfless service and rejuvenation in nature. Keep a dream 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, ocean, pool, river or lake). Allow regular space for “down time,” to rest. Watch an inspiring movie. Imagine…

 

July 6 – Venus in Gemini sextile Saturn and Neptune in Aries. It’s a good day for socializing, as this friendly Venus is ready to mingle, especially in creative or spiritual gatherings that are supportive and aligned. This could initiate relationships or you may discover a community that inspires you physically, mentally, creatively and/or spiritually. In any event, choose an activity and company that supports you and makes your heart sing.

 

July 7 – Venus trine Pluto. This is about intense conversations in relationships, whether romantic or friends, to get to the truth. Venus in Gemini is light, whereas Pluto is deep, so this can be a passionate connection, being vulnerable, or healing via the heart. Pluto can transform heartwounds if you’re open to it… 

 

Next, Uranus is in Gemini until early Nov ’25, Retrogrades back into Taurus until late April ’26 when it returns to Gemini thru 2033. Uranus rules the higher mind, innovation and revolution, while Gemini rules the mental body, communication and info. 

 

As Uranus, planet of radical change and awakening, moves through Gemini, the collective consciousness undergoes a major rewiring. We can expect breakthroughs in communication (AI), transportation (robots, driverless cars, flying cars), technology and medical breakthroughs (biotech), among other things. 

 

This will also increase the speed and volume of incoming data, which can impact the nervous system, so grounding practices are high priority if you have a tendency to become overwhelmed or stressed due to info overload. We are living in a digital world where speed and tech will increase more than ever in daily life. 

 

The shadow side of Uranus in Gemini is misinformation, social media / email / phone scams and other nefarious creations. I expect the dark side of AI and deepfakes (images that are superimposed on others to influence people) to increase in the near term, as we’re in the midst of a war on info. After all, Uranus will shake up stagnant structures, creating chaos, ultimately to be followed by new innovations. Stay tuned…

 

The next few years will be a time of rebalancing, as we are in an extreme period, as institutions and norms are disrupted. But the outer planets that inform the collective have ALL changed signs within months of each other (Uranus is the finale), while connecting with each other in harmony. We have no reference points for this experience and nobody knows how this will manifest. We are witnessing the unfolding of the future as we’re living this dramatic movie in real time – and the tempo is speeding up!

 

Uranus in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius, radical change in harmony with transformation; a powerful flow that instigates a desire for freedom via social movements and power to the people, as well as new solutions and inventions. Uranus sextiles Saturn and Neptune as well, a rare and fertile window for grounded innovations and spiritual evolution. We’ll be talking about Uranus and the outer planets ongoing, but this is the arrival of the final piece of the outer planet puzzle that will create our new world. 

 

July 10 – Full Moon in Capricorn @ 18º at 1:37pm PDT. This is when things come to light or it can be the culmination of things. Capricorn rules your Authority in the world, as well as your Inner Authority. No matter your worldly position, do you trust yourself or do you need others’ approval to feel comfortable with your decisions?

 

Capricorn also represents the structures in your life. Those that are weak or no longer working have likely been affected by the intense energies, forcing you to face any old non-working patterns that you are clinging to. Capricorn rules achievement, responsibility, discipline, deferring pleasure to do what’s needed, long term goals, methodical plans and success. “Just do it,” is Capricorn – and the emphasis is on cleaning up any obsolete structures and patterns in your life, so consider this a check-in. 

 

The Cancer Sun is focused on your needs, Self-care, home, family and issues pertaining to emotional security. Issues around safety and trust are primal, and when those needs are securely met you are much more empowered to operate as your best Self. Also, see if your personal and professional life is in balance and honor your unmet needs wherever possible. That’s your job. 

 

Capricorn is the Lord of Karma (you get back what you put out) or the Great Teacher / Inner Guru. Your productivity is rewarded, but it’s important to have clear intentions and goals or you can direct your efforts toward things that aren’t fully aligned with your authentic desires or soul’s path. Wherever you are, be sure that you’re making deliberate choices and you’re not just operating on auto-pilot.

 

It’s a big week, with Uranus moving into Gemini as the dominant energy. Saturn in Aries will Station to Retrograde on July 13, so that’s the next 

 

Breathe… and keep the faith, as you do your best to stay present and engaged. We each have our own unique roles to play on the earth plane – and the goal is to align your reality with your soul’s vision. 

 

Trust that you are here now on purpose, as a pioneer in this New World. Embrace your path of awakening, as you came here to evolve and grow.

 

May you be filled with light and love. I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

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. 🌷

June 20 – The Summer Solstice occurs at 7:42pm PDT as the Sun enters soft, sensitive Cancer, when feelings color (or sometimes override) your logical mind as you honor your roots. On the longest day of the year, the invitation is to pause, reflect and realign with your truth and intentions, as you stand in your Light and the light. 

 

With this activity, your feelings can either work for or against you, depending on whether you utilize inner prompts as intuitive cues or you are in emotional reaction to life events. You’ve been taught to problem-solve using your mind, but due to misinformation, conspiracy theories, fake news, AI and rumors accepted as truth, you can no longer reliably trust info, labels and sources as being true. And conditioned emotional patterns can undermine you by activating old reactions.

 

Therefore, in order to be in your power, you must develop the ability to feel what’s right for you via your body (gut instinct) or your Higher Self (intuitive guidance). Nobody knows what’s right for YOU better that you do – but you have to be attuned to your Inner Truth. The mind can play tricks on you and can be influenced, persuaded and manipulated by people and algorithms that know your fears and preferences. You are in charge of your “Yes” and “No,” which requires clarity and trusting your Self.

 

Cancer is focused on home, family, nurturing and security and with the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in Cancer now and a New Moon in Cancer arriving on June 25, lots of sensitive energies, feelings and seeking safety will be primary, as you may choose to cocoon during this time of chaotic global change.

 

June 22 – There are a few aspects today – with other aspects aligning that you will feel for the next few days, that will become exact tomorrow and in the days to come. 

 

Mars sextile Jupiter. A helpful, encouraging energy of possibility and big picture vision that is ready to take action and inspire others with your optimism. This will be operating when the Sun squares Saturn, which may feel heavy, so focus on possibilities if you need a pick me up. 

 

Sun square Saturn (with Neptune). The Sun square Saturn is followed by the Sun square Neptune on June 23. Saturn/Neptune is a combo experience that can manifest as bringing a dream into form, an old structure falling apart and then feeling disillusioned, or a reality that demands a new vision, that lifts you up (transcendence) or deflates you. Saturn/Neptune can either work to build a creative pursuit (higher expression) or it can feel impeding and discouraging. 

 

Sun square Saturn is facing reality and making decisions based on what’s practical and realistic. It can be an ending, obstacle or delay, but you will face something that lets you know where you stand. No frills. 

 

June 23 – A few things today. Sun square Neptune and a Yod (Fated Finger of God), an aspect that requires adjustment. 

 

Sun square Neptune (conjunct Saturn). Big dreams, dissolving old boundaries and structures, confusion, low vitality, victimhood, deception, grief or disappointment are possible. It is subjective. Or you may channel a dream that feels real for you. Left-brained types can become controlling or anxious if they are confused, but confusion can be an opening, as your consciousness unwinds to reveal new perspectives that tunnel vision (certainty) can’t access. 

 

Exploration is an antidote for fear and anxiety if you find yourself upset without a clear direction. Practice being “in the question,” rather than needing to have an immediate answer. Also, if you trust that All Is In Divine Order, you will fare much better. Spiritual practices are best for reconnecting to your Higher Self and to quiet your mind. Visioning, daydreaming, channeling, meditating and being in nature are all soothing and a path home to peace. 

 

June 23/24 – Yod: Mars sextile Sun/Jupiter, all quincunx Pluto in Aquarius (the future). The upshot of this aspect is that there’s tension and discomfort, the path is bumpy and distorted and we don’t know how to fix what is out of alignment. The mind can’t solve this one. That’s why we have to go within for guidance and attune to higher consciousness, one day at a time, and then do the next right thing. 

 

We’re in unprecedented times as we move through the great shift, the unknown, and grieve painful events we witness – but don’t get stuck in lower energies. Be a witness, pray, send love, help when called, but keep your consciousness high, focused in love to add to the Greater Good.

 

June 24 – Mercury square Chiron. You may hear or deliver words or have thoughts that activate wounds or that hurt. What you say matters, so think before you speak, and open to healing via forgiveness and amends. If you don’t have your own forgiveness process, try Ho’oponopono, the Hawaiian practice of reconciliation. “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.” (Google it)

 

June 24 – Sun conjunct Jupiter. This is an aspect of well being, abundance, blessings and expansion, as you see through an optimistic, big picture lens with the inspiration to tap into your bright ideas. You can also attract goodness and like-minded souls into your orbit when you are transmitting this level of joy, generosity and possibility. Although there are a multitude of aspects today, your focus creates your reality, so choose wisely where you place your attention. Yes you can!

 

June 25 – The New Moon @ 4º Cancer 3:32am PDT. This is the Moon’s natural sign where it’s at home, with feelings, care, your personal life and family lineage. The New Moon is about new beginnings, when you plant seeds and take actions that will come to fruition as days unfold. With Jupiter conjunct the Sun and Moon, it is an extra fertile, abundant New Moon, ripe and ready for creating things that will nourish you focus on your needs and your Highest Good. Again, feel what your soul is calling for. 

 

The New Moon in the ultra-sensitive sign of Cancer rules emotional needs and how you get them met, your home (your nest), feelings of vulnerability, emotional safety and security, family, food, tradition, connection, nurturing and being nurtured. Are you neglecting your emotional needs for giving and receiving? Is there an imbalance on one side or the other (more giving than receiving)? How can you take better care of your Self? Cancer is the sign of the mother and it is a spiritual practice to mother yourself in a loving way.

 

Cancer is a highly intuitive sign; practice tuning into the still, small voice within to guide you. Remember that messages from Spirit are never fear-based, so be discerning when receiving Inner Guidance to be sure the info you are receiving is coming from Divine Love and not from ego, which utilizes fear and lack to “protect” you. Drop into your heart and quiet your mind. Take slow, deep breaths into your belly to regulate your nervous system and quiet your mind. Know that there is peace within and then listen for messages. 

 

Sensitivity and vulnerability are underrated and judged in our culture, but they are absolutely necessary for our wholeness and personal fulfillment as human beings. On this New Moon, treat yourself lovingly and honor your feelings. Commit to nurturing your Self so that you can live an empowered life and be who you came here to be. 

 

June 26 – Mercury sextile Uranus. This is innovative relative to your thought patterns, decision-making and your interests. Your conditioned thoughts will welcome a break from the usual neural pathways that bring the same predictable results. This will allow your higher mind to come through in creative ways that are authentic for you that may be fresh, eccentric, brilliant or a walk on the wild side. Try it on. Stretch out and find what’s in hiding within you. Channel your inner genius or disruptor and see what you find; I’ll bet there’s more than you know!

 

Mercury in Leo. This is a shift that will be with you for two months, as Mercury will turn Retrograde on July 18 and will be in Leo until Sept 2. This is a bold, creative, expressive Mercury – one with something to say. You may feel a desire to be seen, heard and validated and to come out of hiding (if this is you) – and your Self-expression may be verbal, artistic, via storytelling, creative writing, performing. Express yourself, even baby steps, and enjoy! 

 

Sun sextile Mars. This provides energetic support, which is helpful because you still have Saturn/Neptune square Sun/Jupiter and Neptune can lower vitality. Sun in Cancer is gentle and Mars in Virgo is targeted, so this is perfect for deliberate, New Moon actions, motivation and activity – measured, precise, practical. 

 

There is an abundance of activity as we enter Cancer season – the energy of emotional connection, security and safety. Self-care is primary, especially during the major cosmic shift and turmoil in 3D. You are in a human body that requires impeccable care, even if your consciousness is operating in higher dimensions. 

 

Cancer planets, Saturn in Aries and Mars in Virgo will support your well being, but the physical discipline (diet, exercise, rest, self-care) is up to you (a spiritual practice), and your job is to tailor your routine to what works for you. Progress not perfection…

 

Wishing you a beautiful Summer Solstice and a nurturing New Moon in Cancer. May you be filled with Light and love. 

 

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

 

The heart opens when it is safe to feel. It is never forced open. That is why we must learn to sit with our own pain and offer love instead of judgment.” ~ Paul Ferrini

“We all came into this world gifted with innocence, but gradually, as we became more intelligent, we lost our innocence. We were born with silence and as we grew up, we lost the silence and were filled with words. We lived in our hearts and as time passed, we moved into our heads. Now the reversal of this journey is enlightenment. It is the journey from the head back to the heart, from words back to silence; getting back to our innocence in spite of our intelligence. Although very simple, this is a great achievement.” ~ Eckhart Tolle
