Gemini Gemini
July 16 ~ July 30
Life always feels brighter when your ruling planet, Mercury, moves through the fire in Leo. Passion rises, you feel more alive, and anything can start to feel possible. Mercury’s extended stay through Leo – from now through Sept. 2, including its retrograde from Thursday, July 17- Aug.11 – makes this a long, fiery dance of self-expression and renewed confidence. As Mercury joins forces with Venus in your sign, your weekend gets a wave of warmth and a splash of sugar and fun. When these two planets harmonize in these signs, things just tend to go your way. You may even revisit something that didn’t work out the first time—this retrograde gives you a second shot. Timelines shift, agreements can be renegotiated, and this time, you’re favored. However, Venus in Gemini squaring off with Mars in Virgo for all of next week may throw a wrench into your flow—or at least slow it down. Something you desire may require more time, effort, or compromise than you anticipated. Still, Venus is in your sign, giving you an upper hand in almost any negotiation. Use that charm wisely. A New Moon in Leo on Thursday, July 24, lights up your sky and your mood, offering a fresh beginning. You’ll feel its warmth like sunlight breaking through—the kind that makes you smile without even trying. Isn’t that the best? With Uranus now in your sign, it’s as if the cosmic defibrillators have landed on your chest—jolting you into a faster, more vibrant rhythm. And this is just the beginning. Uranus is forming a rare, long-term trine to Pluto in Aquarius, lasting nearly five years—a powerful setup for inner and outer transformation. Layer in ongoing support from Saturn and Neptune in fellow fire sign Aries, and you’ve got rare cosmic backing to radically evolve your life.
Take the time to reflect on what’s truly aligned with your Soul’s evolution —and then, with conviction, make it happen!
