The Month Ahead

July is a month of mixed motion. Just as we're settling into the nurturing rhythms of Cancer season, we get a wave of planetary shifts that stir the pot again. With Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron all retrograding, and Uranus entering a new sign, the universe is setting the stage for reflection, release, and reinvention.

The keyword this month is "adjustment." Things are shifting—internally and externally—and your willingness to bend will determine how gracefully you move through the changes. Old wounds resurface, communication gets wonky, but under Leo’s fire and the Capricorn Full Moon, we're also gifted moments of radiant clarity.

Mundane Astrology Insights

With so many planets stationing retrograde this month—Neptune, Saturn, Mercury, and Chiron—paired with Uranus entering Gemini, the collective energy is heavy with revision and reckoning. We may see themes around technological disruption, political misinformation, labor unrest, and youth movements take center stage. As communication systems and social structures wobble, expect both breakthroughs and breakdowns. On the world stage, voices long overlooked may demand to be heard. This is a time of rewiring the collective nervous system—and while the process can be chaotic, it’s ultimately meant to wake us up.

So while the world turns and trembles on a larger scale, let’s take a closer look at how the stars are moving through your personal sky this month.

Venus Enters Gemini (7/4)

Venus in Gemini lightens the mood. Love becomes conversational, flirty, and curious. If you’ve been feeling emotionally bogged down, this shift might spark a desire for new connections or intellectual stimulation. But be careful not to scatter your energy—Gemini loves variety, but true nourishment still matters.

Neptune Stations Retrograde (7/4)

Neptune turning inward invites us to question illusions and revisit spiritual truths. With this happening in Aries, we may be challenged to reexamine our individual dreams and how much of our identity is based on false narratives. Clarity comes through quiet. Pay attention to your dreams.

Uranus Enters Gemini (7/7)

This is a big one. It's the Winds of Change. Uranus changes signs only every 7-8 years, and now it’s entering quick, information-driven Gemini. Expect innovation in tech, AI, communication, and how we learn. But on a personal level, it may feel like mental restlessness or sudden shifts in thinking. A powerful time to rewire outdated beliefs.

Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10)

This Full Moon at 18 degrees of Capricorn puts our long-term goals in the spotlight. It’s a culmination point for themes around responsibility, discipline, and the structures we rely on. Are your foundations built to last? Let go of outdated definitions of success and commit to something more soul-aligned.

Saturn Stations Retrograde (7/12)

Saturn’s retrograde at 1 degree of Aries brings a test of patience. This isn’t a punishment—it’s a rework. Wherever Aries falls in your chart, it’s time to reassess your efforts and commitments. You may be called to slow down and do things with greater precision and maturity.

Mercury Retrograde in Leo (7/17)

Time to rethink how you express your truth. Mercury retrograde at 15 degrees of Leo invites review of creative projects, communication styles, and self-presentation. Watch for miscommunications fueled by pride or ego. Instead, reconnect with your authentic voice and remember: bold doesn’t mean brash.

Mars Conjunct South Node (7/20)

This karmic contact may stir old issues around action, health, or service. Be mindful of burnout. If you're acting from habit instead of intention, this transit will highlight it. Let go of what no longer aligns with your current energy.

Sun Enters Leo (7/22)

We step into the heart of summer as the Sun returns to its ruling sign. Leo season invites celebration, expression, and bold authenticity. This is a time to shine, but don’t forget: true confidence comes from the heart, not the ego.

New Moon in Leo (7/24)

A fresh start in self-expression. This New Moon at 2 degrees of Leo is a powerful portal for creative intentions. Set goals around visibility, joy, love, and play. What would it look like to live louder, but with heart?

Venus Enters Cancer (7/30)

Relationships turn softer, sweeter, and more emotionally attuned. Venus in Cancer wants connection that feels safe and rooted. Nurture your people. Create beauty at home. Reconnect with family, whether chosen or biological.

Chiron Stations Retrograde (7/30)

The Wounded Healer begins its annual inward journey at 27 degrees of Aries. Old wounds may surface—not to hurt you, but to help you heal. This retrograde offers space for emotional integration. Be gentle with yourself.

In Numerology: July is a 7 Universal Month

The number 7 is the mystic, the seeker, and the spiritual analyst. After the community focus of June’s 6 energy, July encourages solitude, study, and introspection. This is a time to reconnect with your inner truth, dive deeper into spiritual practices, and trust the wisdom of stillness. Your soul is speaking—can you hear it? 

This is a good month to begin your meditation practice if you’re not already doing it. If you’re looking for gentle guidance, my new book Quiet the Noise: Mindfulness Tools for Everyday Peace offers practical tools and soulful reflections to help you find calm in the chaos. You can find it on Amazon here.

This Month’s Advice

• Let courage be your clarity.

• Let change be your compass.

• And let authenticity lead where uncertainty lingers.

We're navigating a month full of motion, retrogrades, and rising heat — but that doesn't mean rushing. If anything, it's a call to move with heart and choose what feels most true. In this season of solar fire and cosmic reevaluation, shine steady and stay rooted in what matters.

Let the retrogrades refine you. Let Leo season reignite you. Let me know if I may be of service to you. And as always…

May the stars guide you,
