THE MONTH OF JULY

Two major astrological events characterize the month of July: the entry of Uranus into Gemini and the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries. The July newsletter tells of renewal and upheaval, disillusionment and the opportunities this offers, and a new collective myth born during this time.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
Venus, Uranus, and Neptune shape the quality of time in the first days of the month. On July 4, Venus and Uranus meet in a conjunction at the end of Taurus. Just a few hours later, Venus enters Gemini, and Neptune begins its retrograde. On July 6, Venus forms a sextile to Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and on the 7th, a trine to Pluto in Aquarius. On this day, Uranus also enters Gemini.
These days can provide some surprises and bring a breath of fresh air to relationship matters. It is an excellent time for a long exchange of ideas with like-minded or differently minded people and a romantic encounter. It also favors creative and artistic endeavors.
The entry of Uranus into Gemini on July 7 is another critical step in this time of social upheaval. Over the next seven years, it will bring the necessary renewal and the odd revolution in science, research, trade, and communication. It affects the intellect, the exchange of information and knowledge, and all kinds of connections between people. Uranus returns to Taurus once again in November. It finally enters Gemini in April 2026.
With Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, two social planets are now in Air signs. They will repeatedly form a trine with each other until 2028. Neptune in Aries connects the two with a sextile. This harmonious aspect figure will remain active for several years and provides welcome support for the social changes of the Air epoch.
The Full Moon forms in Capricorn on July 10. The quality of time connects us to the wisdom that comes from life experience. It is a good day to pause in the routine of everyday life and turn inwards. Write in your diary again or start one. Tell a friend how you have been doing this year, and be prepared to listen.
The second major astrological event takes place in mid-July: The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This marks the beginning of another chapter in the current historical turning point. The last time the two met was in Capricorn in 1989. The upheavals of that time, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, still reverberate today.
On July 17, the first conjunction of Saturn and Neptune will be exact to within a few minutes of arc. However, as Saturn is retrograde from July 13, the second conjunction on February 20, 2026, marks the exact starting point of the new Saturn-Neptune cycle. Both planets will return to Pisces before then. Once again, we must patiently deal with the challenging relationship between endings (Pisces) and new beginnings (Aries).
The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune heralds a turbulent phase. Complex and often chaotic processes begin now, which are particularly visible in collective events. The underlying theme is a deep conflict between ideal and reality. Collective dreams, expectations, and hopes that no longer relate to reality lose their justification and dissolve. This also includes social consensus about right and wrong. Social and political structures that lack support can come under severe pressure or even collapse, especially where people have long been disappointed or systematically deceived. Like a dam bursting, a small weak point could quickly lead to the collapse of the entire structure.
Paradoxically, the positive side of this quality of time includes the current disillusionment. The dreams that are now dissolving leave behind the space in which the new zeitgeist – a new collective myth – can manifest itself. This relates to Aries’s life-affirming, dynamic, strong-willed, and pioneering qualities, as well as its impatient, fanatical, and warlike shadow sides.
One of Aries’ outstanding qualities is its deep, innocent trust in new beginnings. If you meet people now who have mastered this art, let them inspire you. If you struggle with doubt and lack energy, try taking small steps. If you can act with basic trust, you can achieve a lot and experience great satisfaction during this time.
On July 22, the Sun enters Leo. Venus in Gemini and Mars in Virgo form a square on July 23. The day after, the New Moon in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, trines Saturn and Neptune, and sextiles Uranus. The Sun-Pluto opposition becomes exact on the 25th.
This New Moon picks up on all the month’s themes once again. During that time, it could become clear where the journey is heading and who is now steering the ship. Some people may rub their eyes in amazement. It is an excellent time to take a big step forward or complete complex projects.

THE PERSONAL QUALITY OF TIME
The quality of time encourages you to focus on yourself and actively shape your life. In the long years with Neptune in Pisces, transcendence, meditation, and experiences of unity were, to a certain extent, part of the zeitgeist. Some found a deep inner peace during these years. Now, we are called upon to act with confidence from this center.

First sign of Mars Journey 2025

Mars starts retrograde in CANCER. Backs to 17 degrees, (1/24/2025)goes direct Enters Leo 4/19/2025. Two months and one week in cancer sign, Elements , Mars Fire and Cancer Water.

Mars is frustrated in Cancer which focuses on from domestic issue family, extended to clans, traditional political loyalties, yet sensitive manipulative, brooding maternal instincts to seeing people grow, or can be easily hurt, memory of emotional past, hits criticism, intuitive, seeks and give nourishment.

Look or emotional issues to be frustration issues may pop up as Mars pushes issues form identity to the greater issues of relationships and personal internal . The way others may bring and inner tension about both the attitude of others and your self. Love or romantic feeling could suffer. Family issue flare up. Even national issues may set you off
The best thing is that Mars may push you to get involved more, energic follow through or start working on things postponed or needed a strong attitude. Maybe an “ego cleaning” and looking at things need personal issues to positive directions.

Learn to “dance to different melodies with people, stand up when necessity and nurture people who you think need it. Look at your direction in life as with great distance, older life and where you want to be. Look at your family and how any things needs to be worked on. Forgive people for things said or done. Control impulsive responses as Mars can make flare ups. Consider family budget and how to deal with family expenses. This is a long transit two months and a week. Don’t rush this process. Two full moons lie ahead. Howl. Touch your animal self, feel it in your hearts.

MARS GOES INTO LEO 4/19/2025

Mars and Leo are both fire sign and together there is a lot of energy that wants attention, to be the dramatic center of attention. Whatever your position in life you want to make IT SHINE. Personal magnetism attraction is high and you can think big. You can be demonstrative and generous. Sexual awareness increases. Self-willed. . .you are able to get things going.

Remember Leo the lion has the king of the jungle, maste;er hunter and ruler who exudes with courage, confidence, and strength. Plug yourself into Mars makes the lion roar

MARS ENTERS VIRGO 6/18/2025 LETS ANALYZE WHAT IS GOING ON

Mercury the ruler of Virgo does not work well with Mars. Simply said. There is a “getty up “and a” not so fast” dichotomy. Mercury frustrates Mar with attention to detail and structure, the true validly of input. Foundations depth and structure? This only slows Mars down as he want things in the “now” than in some analytical time consuming study of a proposed action .

Virgo loves routine, it works well by organizing things with priorities, it thrives to look at the interworking of every thing from engineering of the issue or mechanics. Often research makes this a time to look medical or psychological problems as Mars provides the “push” to either start of work hard on projects or intellectual basis of abstract thinking. Movies, best sellers, important books on a variety of levels attract attention for depth of content.

Mars and sexuality may be muted as Mercury can do more thinking about rather than doing. Conversely there maybe sexual concepts and experimental positions, erotic adventures. Still this is the exception to the rule. Strangle enough Virgo with a Mars transit could be a voyeur of and look at what they can see. Pictures, erotic literature, videos are more interesting. Don’t worry all this will change when Mars transits through Scorpio. Sex could be more involved and passionate.

Mars may promote more self-improvement, study, working on ways to get focused on the ways to change habits, or at least try as well a making lists of “to do” from yoga and the gym to make yourself improve your physical nature.

In short, Mars in Virgo rattles the brain in both the internal world and external. Caution is needed as compulsive thoughts or activities could show up to be trendy and dropped. How much of Star Wars can you watch? Or ignore your to do lists. Is this escapism simply a dodging on other things that need looking at and not
suppressing energy better spent.

MARS IN LIBRA STARTING 8/7/ 2025 LETS SEE WHAT THOSE SCALES BRING.

Mars and Libra have a love and also not so sweet relationship. Frankly Mars is not interested in Justice, Liberal Arts, Venus as diplomat, “win – win” just flirting. Fair play. Don’t flirt, put the move on seeking actual erotic activity. Bad Libra can be a flirt in tight clothes, that nice naughty guy loves his notches on his belt.

Libra at its most primitive is justice in dividing up the harvest and measuring the portions people get. Or the taxes owed to the King. Weight of gold in trading purchases . Chaldean tablet more than anything relates to business deals.

Venus is the ruler of Libra. Ah beauty, love, socially smart, fashion plate. Love is limited in English when other language have just love, which can romantic love, love of family, brother (fraternity) love.

Libras are well known for having trouble making up their minds. Why because of the scales of balance. Ever tried working, even for your wight takes time.

Laws Justice Mars isn’t up for this. Want nasty law suit with people screaming at each other? Mars loves that stuff. It has always been that Libra women are the best dressed. My option. However beauty: art design anything with esthetic values come to Libra.

Mars in Libra will put a little beauty in your life form better furniture in your house, new dress, car. If it consider to be judged by esthetics. Best wedding dress, the red carpet walkers, diamonds- important to be talked about engagements. Architecture, hairdos, songs, love scene. GET IT. Librans are there with the scales.

Get out more, do thing museums, new restaurants, the good wine, ocean view, that movie. See the beauty of babies, moms, a new look, wash the car, paint a wall, try something different! You will love this transit.

However look out for cheat cheaters who will sell you that fake watch, forged painting. The sad side of these no morals people are feeding on corrupting the beautiful things you want, that you may have saved for for years.

Brave it all and go for the beautiful!

MARS ENTERS SCORPIO 9/23/2025 THESE PEOPLE SEEK EROTIC DOMINANCE !??

Mars LOVES Scorpio! For years and years back to the Chaldeans who named this red planet as its ruler. YET with the discovery of Pluto and atomic energy, Mars has been demoted to co-ruler. Scorpions are supposed to be the sexual dominate planet (which is reputed by other planets and signs).

Lets start with Scorpios have the memory of elephants. Every slight conflict is remember forever and will be revenged. People will be openly confronted. Each pound of flesh taken. Don’t mess with them. Give them wide berth. Yet Scorpios make excellent detectives. They can’t wait until they get to the bottom things—where the skeletons are buried. Also interested in death, will, inheritance, sex evolution of the self.

When mars hits Scorpio, start looking a erotic urges (to be enjoyed). Also time to review your deep feelings about death and end of life issues (got a will—oops os it fair? Any worries about a sibling or mother-in-law who might contest?)

While these guys can become great friends. Once your friend they will stand by you,, take your aside cry out to punish you enemies. They are fearless that is while they can be handled with caution.

During this transit look deep into yourself, good and bad signs. Know triggers that can piss you off. What is the difference between pushing stubbornly to a break through or beating a dead horse give it up. Change approach. Digging deep learn to honor your areas where you are growing stronger. See your evolution and growth. Look carefully at your money. Is it growing? Why or why not.

And yes look at your sex life at this transit. Is it truly great or are you stuck in a rut and not getting the joy and elation you desire. Using more porn than the real thing? Stop that. Get a new pony and get a new ride.

MARS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 11/3/2025

Sag is ruled by Jupiter the biggest planet in the solar system. Mars gives even more energy to enjoy. Sometimes Jupiter is like Santa, gives gifts of insight, expansion. Half horse haft man. He shoots an arrow up to the heavens. Aims for the stars, lets say targets and goals of growth and thinking big. Religion, god, the meaning of the big bang are at the top of the list. What is the source of the big over view. Why do different cultures function the way they do?

Enjoy the force of this fire to fire connection! Free up! Try not to be blunt even though Sag is often a gun slinger. Skip being impatient. You will come to understand even deeper and more insightful as you look back as see the journey life has taken you. This sign has Thanks Giving in it, black Friday, Mercury goes direct, along with Saturn and Neptune. Mars is happy in Sag, praise people for what they are doing. Be generous enthusiastic.

Try not to be too aggressive and butt into conversations to show off what you think and know. Listen, we all know you know a lot, but need to show it off. Don’t take chances, it is time to listen carefully. Don’t exaggerate too much. If you have a great way to understand life- have a guru, super intuitive, who has found a way that have to share, other people have there own ideas about these things themselves, don’t proselytize. I one met Tim Leary, a Star of the drop acid adventures and a Sag. All he talked about was himself and to spiritual benefits of LSD. Smart as he was his ego made him boring (at least to me. Look at both sides of the songs of Bob Dylan.

Paint the big pictures of the joy of life. Everyone has a journey to tell. And there is the holiday period coming up with the solstice in Capricorn.

MARS INTO CAPRICORN 12/22/2025 SOLSTICE

Mars is in Capricorn, 21/15/ 2025, but in at 5 degrees when it enters. But at 12/22 it is 5 degrees from 0 CAP This give this solstice exceptional importance. It is rare! This next Mars – Cap within 7 minutes solstice conjunction happens in 21/21/ 2040!

With the conjunction this 2025 Mars will have a great input. There be the great trine of Jupiter and Saturn both sextiling Uranus and Neptune squaring Mars and Solstice point. Wow. Best advice – prepare for a quest for order in a chaotic world. 2026 will be a wild ride. Fasten seat belt.

This is a time when we are all are going to ask: What going on here? Why? The reason is that big powerful planets have been going retrograde and now direct and ingressing (moving into) BIG SIGN CHANGES. We NEED A STRONG UNDERSTANDING HERE ABOUT OUR MOMENT IN HISTORY. WE HAVE TO WAKE UP!

Neptune goes into Aries
Pluto fully in Aquarius
Saturn into Aries
Jupiter into Cancer
Uranus into Gemini
Mars into Cancer off and on for 18 months 6 weeks in Leo)

You can see this list. This shows a huge number of thing we need to digest!I am writing this forecast and eclipse Oct 2 2024 and in six months down the road all this change will be our new reality. Pluto changes sign every15 -26 years and Neptune 23 – 40 years
When Pluto entered Capricorn we got a 2008 market crash and recession. Covid, Israel war. The Ukraine invasion. Challenged elections We also got first Afro-American President, medical breakthroughs, smarter electronic growth we could hardly keep up. Pluto in Aquarius brings AI and big challenges. There will be a growing conviction that the people of this planet will have big challenges to face. Like Bob Dylan said “The times they are a changing.” Let’s look:

Neptune entered Pisces in 2004 too much to list Iraq then Afghanistan etc. but you get the stuff from being in Pisces when Pluto was marching through Capricorn—oh yeah, Stocks crashed in 2008 the pandemic. 2020. Now we get Neptune moving into Aries. Pluto into Aquarius. Big and strong shifts in ideological, metaphysical concepts, breaking own of old boundaries of the zeitgeist, spiritual influences, imagination. New visions for world.

Uranus changes sign every seven years – Tauris to Gemini—Challenges in communication. Where is the truth? What is fake news, what lighting striking changes will happen. Electronic emerge with swift arrival of new advances in things like AI will put stress on all parts of our ethical and unethical uses.

Saturn in Aries Serious issues with volitivity seeking stability all across the board. There will be aggressive plans to change structures to new foundations. What are the structures that make a new existentially viable ideas in government, society and political concepts

Jupiter in Cancer often directed towards home and family. Energy will be expensive in family and core values. Hope for peace and resolution of differences. We are all Earth dwellers, the greater identity – lets work it out. The planet is one big family and there is the biggest threat yet in claimant change. We need more stress on concepts and a philosophy which reins in pollution before it is too late.

BIG POINT THAT HAS TO BE AWARE OF: Pluto into Aquarius and Neptune in Aries. These outer planets show the challenges coming. Think back to 2004—that is just 20 years ago. Neptune entered Pisces. These planets with the back drop of a Saturn that plopped in on 2008 cannot be underestimated. 2025 here we come. Stay tune as I will start more specific changes emerge from the six months we are starting to go into now. Uranus dances into Gemini. Media out of control.
