A FOUNDATIONAL SHIFT: A major shift occurs this week, facilitated by Uranus entering Gemini on Monday, July 7.

This sign change will ultimately have a profound impact on our lives. It will have a "quickening" effect on societal change and is one of the main reasons I entitled this week's webinar "Acceleration." 

Although Uranus changes signs every seven years, this particular ingress carries with it very high expectations; once the sideways-spinning planet enters Gemini, it begins to form several powerful, transformational aspects that will affect our lives for years to come. These aspects include a sextile to mystical Neptune (2025-26), a trine to dynamic Pluto (2025-28), and a conjunction with Sedna, the planet of Spiritual Destiny (2025-26).

SEEDS OF CHANGE: Uranus is the planet of liberation, revolutions, innovations, and enlightenment. Over the next seven years, we expect to see major changes and accelerated progress in the areas that are "ruled" by the sign of the Twins. These include how we use our minds, how information and goods are exchanged, how we travel, how we communicate, and even how we define human consciousness. 

In essence, Uranus in Gemini will be actively rewiring our brains. This will facilitate an expansion of consciousness and give us access to new insights and inventions that will completely alter how we live our daily lives.

It is vital, as we enter the Uranus-in-Gemini years, to have good tools to support our nervous systems, since they will be highly stimulated. These tools include conscious breathing, meditation, light exercise, connecting with nature, and getting good sleep. We can also increase our intake of magnesium, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and adaptogens such as ashwagandha, holy basil, and cordyceps mushrooms.

More on Uranus in Gemini in the weeks and months ahead!

CAPRICORN FULL MOON: The climax of the current lunar cycle occurs this week; the Full Moon perfects at 1:37 p.m. PDT on Thursday, July 10, when the Moon is at 18°50' Capricorn and the Sun is at the same degree of Cancer.

We are able to see tangible results and the rewards of our efforts with this lunation, represented by the Moon's trine to Mars in Virgo. This positive feedback helps us stay on task, even though a Moon-Ceres square indicates a conflict between work responsibilities and the requirements of home and family, including our own self-care. We may also be feeling impatient or irritable as this lunation squares Chiron and Eris, activating old wounds and defensiveness.

THE SATURN EFFECT: Underlying all of our activities this week and next are strong Saturn energies, due to the planet coming to a standstill and turning retrograde on Saturday, July 12. We anticipate an overall sense of seriousness with Saturn, and a more realistic or practical view of reality.

The challenge when working with Saturn is to maintain a balanced perspective, making sure that realism does not deteriorate into pessimism, and that practicality does not become an excuse to avoid emotions—whether our own or those of others.

Saturn will be retrograde from July 12 to November 27. During this four-month period, we may experience delays in the achievement of certain goals. If this occurs, it is usually a sign that there is unfinished business to attend to, that must be completed in order to ensure future success in our endeavors. While Saturn is retrograde, we learn the value of patience, impulse control, maturity, and proper timing.

ASPECTS THIS WEEK: Here are my brief interpretations of this week's most important aspects, day by day: 

Monday

Uranus enters Gemini: Uranus will be in Gemini from July 7 until November 7, 2025, when it will retrograde back into Taurus. The planet re-enters Gemini on April 25, 2026 and will travel through the sign until 2032-33.

Venus trine Pluto: This aspect facilitates honest communications and a deeper intimacy in close relationships.

Mars sesquiquadrate Chiron: A tendency to be overly critical and demanding—either of others or of oneself—can reawaken old wounds.

Tuesday

Sun semisquare Sedna: People can tend to take things personally today, easily feeling betrayed or defensive.

Wednesday

No major aspects are exact today. 

Thursday

Full Moon: The Full Moon occurs at 1:36 p.m. PDT, when the Moon is at 18°50' Capricorn and the Sun is at the same degree of Cancer.

Friday

Mars quincunx Ceres: There may be conflicts in close relationships, especially among family members. A tendency to judge or be critical can undermine self-worth.

Sun trine North Node: This aspect encourages us to be compassionate and understanding, and to choose forgiveness.

Saturday 

Mercury trine Ceres: Conversations flow more naturally today. Empathy is heightened and we have the capacity to express caring through our words.

Saturn stations retrograde: Saturn will be appearing to move backward from now until it stations direct on November 27.  The first part of this retrograde phase will be in assertive Aries, but Saturn has some unfinished business to attend to in receptive Pisces, and will return to that sign on September 1.

Sunday

Venus semisquare Eris: Minor irritations can interfere with clear communications today. Some may enjoy being contradictory and playing devil's advocate.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: You may find it easier to be spiritually in tune this year. This greater sense of inner connection increases your ability to trust your intuition and encourages you to always center yourself in your heart space before taking action. Along the way, however, you may find yourself dealing with old resentments based in feelings of not being seen or understood. These feelings shine a spotlight on parts of yourself that are in need of your caring and unconditional love. (Solar Return Sun square Eris, trine North Node)

In peace, love, and gratitude,
