July 16 ~ July 30

Transformation takes time. Consider how long it takes to conceive a child and carry it to term. If you are the one carrying, you feel the daily changes in your body and Soul. And if it’s your first child, nothing can prepare you for what’s coming. The same mysterious process is underway now. Saturn in fellow fire sign Aries just reversed directions and is traveling alongside Neptune, inviting you into a sacred space of inner alignment and surrender. Saturn will temporarily leave Aries on Sept.1, and won’t return until Feb. 14 2026. Consider this as your incubation period – for birthing something magnificent. Mercury, the planet of communication, is shifting retrograde as well on Thursday, July 17 ~ Aug. 11, and will remain in Leo until Sept. 2, giving you the luxury of time to tend to your creative fire, and to re-evaluate what is needed to take every aspect of your life to the next level. Before the weekend, Mercury and Venus team up to get a good loving fire going. But just as quickly, Venus moves into a square with Mars in Virgo – a tension that will unfold over the next two weeks. You may need to iron out wrinkles in a relationship, revisit a negotiation, or adjust expectations so that what you give and what you receive feels balanced and fair. which means there may be challenges surfacing that have you needing to work out some kinks. You may also need to re-negotiate with people so it all feels fair. In the midst of this process, a New Moon in Leo on Thursday, July 24, lifts your spirits and restores your hope. This lunar fire trines both Saturn and Neptune in Aries, anchoring your dreams in both divine timing and trust. Jupiter in Cancer acts as a quiet guardian angel behind the scenes. You may not see her, but she is close – hovering near, holding space, and guiding you toward grace. Joy is returning. Positive change is coming too. Patience is still required, but the rewards will be worth their weight in gold – and then some!

Your next move matters way more than your last mistake.” – The Source
