NEW MOON IN LEO 24 JULY 2025 A time to shine but not for all….. There will be a New Moon at 02°08’ Leo (antiscion 27°52’ Taurus) on the 24th of July. New Moons are times when the Sun and Moon are conjoined in the identical degree of the same sign and this causes the Moon to remain hidden from our view.
MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE ON 17-18 JULY 2025 I believe in me…do you? The approximately 3-week retrograde period will begin on the 17-18th July at 15°34’ Leo (antiscion 14°26’ Taurus) and end on the 10-11th August at 04°14 Leo (antiscion 25°46’ Taurus).
SATURN’S 5-MONTH RETROGRADE PERIOD STARTS 12-13 JULY 2025 Isn’t it time to question the warfare and aggressiveness that’s all around us? Saturn will station retrograde at 01°56’ Aries (antiscion 28°04’ Virgo) on the 12-13th July to station direct at 25°09’ Pisces on 27-28th November. It is still in tight orb of a conjunction to Neptune and will remain so until late next Spring.
OOB FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN 10 JULY 2025 The OOB Full Moon will occur at 18°49’ in the serious, ambitious sign of Capricorn (antiscion 11°11’ Sagittarius) and has the flavour of the 4th-10th house axis (Cancer-Capricorn), the intimate versus the public, home versus work/career, fluidity versus rigidity etc.
VENUS ENTERS GEMINI ON 4 JULY 2025 From Earth to Air, from sensual to frivolous…it’s party time! Venus in Gemini is known for being flirty and also for its refined social skills although it dislikes commitment both sentimentally and financially. Venus in Gemini enjoys a lot of mental fertility, and it reflects a lot on matters of the heart (usually deciding that single is better than partnered) since it is far too rational to be interested in steady love unions. It could also be a spendthrift as far as intellectual pursuits are concerned (books especially) since it values [...]
URANUS’ TENTATIVE MOVE INTO GEMINI 6-7 JULY 2025 Don’t just think it…say it, the era of free speech is upon us! Uranus has an 84-year orbit and spends roughly 7 years in each sign. It was discovered in 1781 by an amateur astronomer named William Herschel and, in more modern times, it was given joint rulership of the sign of Aquarius together with traditional ruler Saturn.
NEPTUNE STATIONS RETROGRADE IN ARIES Neptune is said to be the higher octave of Venus and within hours of each other, first Venus leaves the sign of her dignity and enters Gemini where she will be peregrine for the most part of the stay there, Neptune then turns retrograde. So, two planets with a supposedly similar essence make a major game change.
MERCURY ENTERS LEO ON 26 JUNE 2025 It’s chest-beating time, I need you to respect my opinion After a short stay in the homely sign of Cancer, Mercury now enters flamboyant Leo for a long stay given the retrograde period which begins on 17-18 July at 15°34’ Leo and ends 10-11 August at 04°14’ Leo.
OOB NEW MOON IN CANCER 25 JUNE 2025 emotionally intense…….to say the least The New Moon will occur at 04°07’ Cancer, a Cardinal, Water sign, ruled by the Moon itself (antiscion 25°53’ Gemini). The Moon, OOB, high in Northern declination (28°15’) and more inclined to be pro-active thus an exceptionally sensitive Moon given to out-of-character antics and also parallel Fixed Star Scheat – not the most fortunate of the Fixed Stars - which according to Ptolemy is of the nature of Mars and Mercury, this former planet already involved in the lunation as explained below.
MARS ENTERS VIRGO ON 17 JUNE 2025 a mechanical housewife? Let’s hope that once the difficult and treacherous square to Uranus is over (takes place on 15 June and affects several charts already in the news for other reasons), Mars will use its energy in Virgo to help the needy, clear up any and all misunderstandings and clean up the mess where necessary.
