1. Venus Conjunct Uranus – July 4: A Disturbance in the Force

The Venus–Uranus conjunction occurs in the final degrees of Taurus, placed in the 11th house. Ordinarily, Venus in her domicile conjunct Uranus would suggest surprising blessings, delightful detours, and lucky windfalls. But not this time. Cancer rises in the chart, and the Moon—the ruler—is in Scorpio in the 5th house. The Moon is squaring Pluto in the 8th and quincunxing the Saturn/Neptune duo, creating an atmosphere that's eerie and electric. It’s the kind of moment when your hairs stand on end, and you can sense something is coming... but can’t see it until it’s already here.

With the Sun and Jupiter on the Cancer Ascendant gazing toward that intense 5th house Moon, this chart seems to drag us through the mirror—to confront the uncomfortable truth that perhaps the dream (or nightmare) we’re living is of our own creation. This Venus–Uranus moment isn’t just surprise—it’s rupture.

It’s the earthquake that jolts us awake. A dramatic interpretation? Perhaps. But the symbolism is insistent: collective and personal awakening and transformation is the ask. We’re being shaken so we can restore balance—to our relationships, our energy systems, our ecosystems.

Tune into the disturbance. Sharpen your spidey senses. Wherever you’re feeling discomfort or unexpected shifts, that’s the entry point. Examine your energetic and ecological expenditures—they're two sides of the same coin. And when the lesson drops, pick it up. Humbly, gratefully, and with open eyes.

2. Saturn Near-Conjunct Neptune & Mercury Rx – July 17–18: The Dream vs. The Plan

Saturn edges toward Neptune while Mercury turns retrograde—signaling a crucial revision phase around our visions and the logistics needed to support them. The dream meets the spreadsheet.

Mars sits with the South Node in the 7th, casting its gaze to Mercury and the Sun in the 6th. Meanwhile, the Moon conjoins Chiron in the 2nd. Translation? We’re renegotiating or releasing relationships—especially those that could create more harm than harmony in the long term, particularly financially.

The tone may feel abrupt or impersonal. The Ascendant looks to Uranus in Gemini in the 3rd house, pointing to sudden communications or strategy shifts. But don’t be alarmed—Venus in Gemini sextiles Mercury, offering an underlying sweetness and intentionality. Whether we’re the one ending something, on the receiving end, or navigating mutual goodbyes, these decisions are ultimately supportive.

North Node in Pisces in the 1st house—looking to Neptune in the 1st and Jupiter in the 5th—asks us to find spaces that support our authentic self-expression. If we don’t realign ourselves by February 2026 (when Saturn and Neptune finally meet exactly), the environment will make the move for us.

3. Mars Opposite NN, Venus Square NN – July 22–23: The Personal Is Collective

As Mars opposes the North Node and Venus squares it, we revisit the theme of release—this time with emphasis on letting go of personal agendas that no longer serve collective evolution.

Mars conjunct NN in Virgo in the 10th house squares Venus in Gemini in the 8th, challenging us to break from outdated models of success or control. Yet, there’s a gift hidden here: by shifting our focus toward shared purpose and compassion (Venus approaching the Moon and Jupiter in Cancer), we gain genuine personal security.

This chart reveals a deeper truth: when personal expression (5th house Neptune) flows from collective care (8th house Jupiter), we finally find our peace and place in the greater cosmos (NN in Pisces, 4th).

Final Thoughts:

July is fast-moving, jolting, and potentially clarifying. Venus in Gemini (July 4–30) keeps us busy with conversations, transactions, and strategy. With Mercury retrograde from July 17 to August 11, triple-check your documents, revisit terms, and leave room to pivot.

This isn’t a month to cling to certainty—it’s a month to follow the shifting winds and listen deeply when the tides turn. Boldly go where your intuition leads, trust the shake-ups, and allow yourself to awaken to something more sustainable, more true, and more you.

Have a wonderful and dynamic July! Namaste 🌸
