This Week in Cosmic Energy Update: July 28 to August 3, 2025

Wednesday, 30 July 2025 Written by Pam Younghans Views: 7831

METEOR FEST: The night skies are alive with activity as two annual meteor showers overlap this week—the Southern Delta Aquariids, which peak on July 29-30, and the Perseids, which will peak on August 12-13.

The best time to view both meteor showers is actually over the next few nights, when the Moon is still just a crescent in the sky.

Since ancient times, humans have assigned various spiritual meanings to seeing a "shooting star." The meteors themselves are small pieces of debris left behind by comets or asteroids, that burst into flame when interacting with Earth's upper atmosphere. Seeing a meteor can thus symbolize a process of transformation, a burning away of old habits, outdated beliefs, or emotional debris. Or, we might sense that seeing a meteor is a message from spirit guides, or understand meteor showers as being communication from the far reaches of space.

SATURN AND SEDNA: Saturn and the dwarf planet Sedna are precisely sextile this week. This harmonious but relatively subtle aspect occurred for the first time on June 14 and will be exact for the third and final time on February 20, 2026. 

Saturn's task is to help us be realistic and practical, while Sedna represents a process of transformation that opens the door to the fulfillment of our spiritual destiny. As these two planets work together, we have the opportunity to gain clarity on our higher purposes for this lifetime. 

However, with Saturn now retrograde, there may be some unfinished business to complete before we are fully ready to manifest a new enterprise. Any delays in this area can be interpreted as being a sign from the cosmos that it is not yet the right timing; circumstances to support new endeavors are likely to be more stable after Saturn goes direct on November 27.

CHIRON AT A STANDSTILL: The influence of Chiron the Wounded Healer is heightened throughout this week, due to the asteroid-comet hybrid stationing retrograde on Wednesday, July 30. We may be aware of either emotional issues or physical symptoms now, conditions which could have fear or insecurity as an underlying cause (Chiron in Aries). We might also find that the issues that Chiron represents in our natal charts (by sign and house) are being triggered this week. 

As always when Chiron energies are strong, we are called to make self-care a priority, and to treat others with kindness.

Providing emotional support for the inner child is one of the most effective ways to activate the healing component of Chiron's influence. It is vital not to approach this relationship with a need to "fix" the part of us that is wounded or fearful, but rather with the intention of simply being present to hold this aspect of ourselves in acceptance, love, and understanding.

There are also good opportunities to mend personal relationships this week, since Chiron is sextile Venus as it stations. With Venus in Gemini, the art of intentional listening and sincere curiosity can enable healing to occur.

Chiron will travel retrograde in Aries until it stations direct on January 2, 2026. 

URANUS IN GEMINI SNIPPET: As one of the transpersonal planets, Uranus represents Higher Consciousness and the Divine Mind. Uranus’ transit through Gemini (2025-2033) facilitates the expansion of consciousness, the awakening of intuitive gifts, an openness to unfamiliar ideas, and an increase in our ability to access or channel high-level information. Developments in these areas are also supported by the Uranus-Neptune sextile that perfects for the first time on August 28.

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

Monday

Venus sextile Chiron: A sensitivity to others and an ability to truly listen can help heal relationships now.

Saturn sextile Sedna: This aspect can help us feel more grounded in our sense of higher purpose. While Saturn draws upon the wisdom of past experience, Sedna helps us have faith in the unknown potentials of the future.

Tuesday

No major aspects are exact today.

Wednesday

Mars quincunx Eris: Irritations or frustrations are possible, especially when things to do go according to plan or seem outside of our control.

Venus enters Cancer: While Venus is in the sign of the Crab, from July 30 to August 25, our choices in relationship and financial matters are influenced by our needs for emotional security and support. The desire to nurture and be nurtured is heightened, and yet some may feel more vulnerable than usual, preferring to nest at home rather than socializing. 

Thursday

Sun conjunct Mercury-R: With Mercury now retrograde, this alignment may be best utilized for introspection, journaling, and mindfulness meditations.

Friday

Venus square Saturn, Venus square Neptune, Venus quincunx Pluto: We may feel dissatisfied in our relationships, be dealing with trust issues, or feel more isolated today. With Venus in nurturing Cancer, it could be important to consider whether our personal relationships include an equal exchange of nurturing, or if we tend to play the caregiver role and do not allow others to see our vulnerabilities.

Saturday 

Mars quincunx Chiron: Be cautious about offering perspectives or directives today; although we want to be helpful and may believe we have the perfect solution to a problem, our actions could be interpreted as criticism.

Sunday

No major aspects are exact today. 

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: Your inner journey is of profound significance this year. Introspection and discovering your true desires are a vital part of your personal growth. As you gain clarity and open to the intuitive insights that are possible, doors will open, leading to new fulfillment on both practical and spiritual levels. If your birthday is July 28-31, you are also preparing for a period of personal empowerment that will begin in 2026-27 and significantly transform how you view and understand yourself. If your birthday is August 1-3, this period will unfold more fully in 2028-29. (Solar Return Sun conjunct Mercury-R, trine Saturn, trine Neptune, opposite Pluto)

In peace, love, and gratitude,
