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. 🌷

“A life without change is not a life; it is a stagnant pool. To change your mind frivolously is a cop-out. To change your mind under the direction of the wisdom of the heart is a brush stroke on the masterpiece you are delivering to the world.” ~ Alan Cohen
