Grand Trine Supports Committed Partnership Harmony
A committed partnership can be romantic, platonic, or business-focused. Those that align with your soul purpose receive harmonious support, thanks to a Grand Trine that starts today, peaks on 7/10, and ends on 7/18.
Juno, the goddess of committed partnership, represents this theme. The North Node represents soul purpose. And the Sun in Cancer can shine light into these relationships and help you make a resonant heart connection!
7/4 (Fri)
Neptune Retrograde
Neptune turns retrograde at 5:33 pm EDT (2°10′ Aries).
The mystical planet will back into Pisces on 10/22, then turn direct again on 12/10 (29°22′ Pisces). This is an excellent time to reflect on how well you’re using Neptune’s energies.
On the high side, Neptune supports spiritual awakening and inspired creativity. He can help you operate “in the zone” more easily, work more skillfully with your dreams, and cultivate more unconditional love and compassion.
Be careful not to energize Neptune’s dark side. This can include substance abuse, addiction, aimless drifting, or acting as a victim.
Neptune isn’t operating alone. We’re in a once-in-a-lifetime period when Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are teaming up to create unimaginably potent challenges and opportunities! To learn about this “gods of change” Mini Grand Trine, click here.

7/4 (Fri) thru 7/7 (Mon)
Venus Aspects Four Slow Planets in Four Days
Everything Venus represents is supercharged as she aspects four slow planets in four days!
Here are the aspects:
- 7/4: Venus conjunct Uranus (29°52′ Taurus)
- 7/6: Venus sextile Saturn (1°53′ Gemini-Aries)
- 7/6: Venus sextile Neptune (2°10′ Gemini-Aries)
- 7/7: Venus trine Pluto (3°0′ Gemini-Aquarius)
Venus can represent any important relationship. She also represents creativity, aesthetic appreciation, and finances.
Each of the planets aspecting Venus can have a variety of effects as their energies merge with hers. Here are a few good ways to work with them.
Uranus can help you get intuitive hits and make breakthroughs. Saturn supports stability and productivity. Neptune boosts creative inspiration and divine union. Finally, Pluto can boost your power and sexual pleasure.
Venus is in Gemini for most of these aspects. This encourages you to enjoy variety and experimentation in these areas. It’s also a great time to focus your mind on these themes, since Gemini is the most mental sign.
7/7 (Mon)
Uranus enters Gemini
Uranus enters Gemini at 3:47 am EDT. This is one of 2025’s most important astrology events!
The planet of uniqueness will make one return visit to Taurus on 11/7. Then he’ll settle into Gemini for about seven years on 4/25/26.
Here are five negative/positive pairings for Uranus in Gemini. Watch out for the negatives and focus on the positives!
Negative
Nervous restlessness and overstimulation can keep your mind racing.
Positive
Delighting in mental novelty and stimulation leads to exciting interests and curiosity, along with a love for hobbies, games, and puzzles. These often result in sudden new ideas.
Negative
Impractical ideas can lead to erratic thinking and a lack of focus. This can cause unreliability and inconsistency.
Positive
Intellectual independence, originality, and inventiveness foster flexibility and openness to new ideas. These qualities lead to reason, foresight, and the perception of higher truths.
Belief in the rational intelligibility of the world brings sudden liberation of the mind or senses. Exciting intellectual breakthroughs and insights follow, along with vision and inspiration.
Negative
Making quick, premature judgments or dropping comments out of the blue, paired with too much talking and lack of tact, can lead to upsetting surprises. An excessive need for intellectual autonomy, mental pride, and stubbornness can lead you to glorify intelligence. You might also have a high and mighty opinion of yourself as brilliant or gifted.
Positive
Receiving intuitive flashes from your higher self can help you appreciate its vastly superior brilliance, which no human could ever equal.
Realizing that your greatest insights come from this more awakened aspect, not your human intellect, can give you a truer perspective and increase your humility. These intuitive hits can also tell you when it’s best to speak or remain silent.
Negative
You feel overwhelmed by a chaotic flood of information and misinformation. With AI’s rapidly improving ability to convincingly imitate writing styles, images, voices, and video, it keeps getting harder to tell what is and isn’t authentic.
Positive
Your higher self always knows what’s authentic. Develop a clear channel of communication with it, and ask it whenever you need to know if something is genuine.
Negative
Life feels overwhelmingly chaotic.
Positive
Ongoing surprises and anomalies bring unexpected information and surprising synchronicities to guide you. This lets you take pleasure in surfing the shifting waves and currents of these unpredictable times.
Uranus is the last of the three outer planets to enter a new air or fire sign. (Neptune is in Aries and Pluto is in Aquarius.) Since air and fire are compatible elements, this helps these gods of change interact more potently. Air and fire are also the masculine elements. This makes it easier for you to get in gear and make things happen!

7/8 (Tue)
Mercury Quintile Uranus
Your mental abilities can be magically enhanced as Mercury quintiles Uranus (12°3′ Leo-0°3′ Gemini). Mercury represents human mind, while Uranus represents divine mind. And the quintile connecting them can feel like fairy dust!
With Mercury in Leo, this aspect can also inspire your work as a leader or entertainer.
7/10 (Thu)
Capricorn Full Moon
A Full Moon illuminates the sky at 4:37 pm EDT (18°50′ Capricorn).
Any Capricorn Full Moon is great for release or adjustment in several areas. These include maturity, time management, and skillful execution of your plans. Capricorn energy can also help you act wisely, take appropriate time for yourself, and deal with business matters.
Aspects
The Saturn-Neptune Quintiles
This Full Moon’s strongest aspects are subtle: tight quintiles to Saturn and Neptune. The 72° quintile has a magical quality, and its effects can feel like a sprinkling of fairy dust.
Saturn and Neptune, only a third of a degree apart in Aries, can join forces to provide four helpful outcomes.
For starters, they can empower the Law of Attraction. This is because Neptune rules visualization, while Saturn excels at crystallization. As you hold the specific vision of what you want, they can help you make it real!
This planetary duo can also help with embodied awakening. In this context, Neptune represents spiritual awakening, while Saturn brings it into your 3D experience.
My free Embodied Awakening Invocation helps thousands live in this exquisite state of consciousness. Spiritual awakening is so much easier when you have your higher self simply give it to you as a gift!
These two planets can also combine to provide practical (Saturn) inspiration (Neptune).
The final Saturn-Neptune opportunity is conscious dissolution. Saturn represents the structure you want to dissolve or transform, and the ocean god Neptune is the water washing it away.
Ceres and Juno
This Full Moon’s other two aspects involve asteroid goddesses.
A square with Ceres, the grain goddess, can help you boost your abundance. Ceres is also a shadow work planet, so you might have some challenging emotions come up. To quickly and effectively heal past traumas, check out my free Healing Invocation.
Finally, a Juno sextile can help bring harmony to your committed partnerships. For tips on how to do this, see my relationship post.
Sabian Symbol
This Full Moon’s Sabian Symbol is, “A child of about five carrying a huge shopping bag filled with groceries.”
This symbol encompasses abundance (Ceres) and responsibility (Capricorn). Abundance is represented by the huge bag of groceries. Responsibility is having to carry this heavy burden on your back, and making sure it gets safely home.
Taken broadly, this image represents everyone. Our human lifetime gives us a cornucopia of potential abundance. But managing it skillfully can be a huge responsibility. This can feel overwhelming, especially in these chaotic times.
This Full Moon’s Saturn-Neptune quintile offers some ideas on how to manage this. Maintaining embodied awakening will help you stay calm, and will make it easier to receive divine inspiration. And, with the flow state it brings, you can more easily “just know” what to do instead of having to think about it!
Grand Trine Peaks
Also on 7/10, the Sun-Juno-North Node Grand Trine that started on 7/2 peaks today, and ends on 7/18.

7/13 (Sun)
Saturn Retrograde
Saturn turns retrograde at 12:07 am EDT (1°56′ Aries). He’ll turn direct again on 11/27 at 25°9′ Pisces.
This is a great time to reflect on how well you embody Saturn’s positive qualities. Do you manage your time well? Are you acting maturely and responsibly? Can you “plan the work and work the plan”?
What about Saturn’s dark side? Are you working so hard that you’re neglecting your family or personal life? Is excessive ambition causing you to close your heart, or be cold and ruthless?
The portion of Saturn’s retrograde in Aries lasts through 9/1 at 4:05 am EDT.
During this period, focused effort, patience, and mindful action can transform obstacles into accomplishments – especially when paired with practical skills and steady follow-through.
A calm, non-aggressive mindset can foster action without clinging to results. Saturn in Aries can also help you heal deep trauma, helping you release fear through spiritual practices and conscious emotional processing.
Saturn completes his retrograde in Pisces 9/1 through 11/27.
This placement can help you make better use of the Law of Attraction and deepen your practical spiritual awakening. (My free Embodied Awakening Invocation can help you merge with your higher self quickly and easily.) Saturn in Pisces also supports conscious dissolution, which can help you clear things from your life that have outlived their usefulness.
As a bonus, Saturn is conjunct Neptune throughout his retrograde. Since Neptune has the same archetypal energies as Pisces, this conjunction further empowers these Piscean possibilities!
Saturn Joins the “Gods of Change” Mini Grand Trine
While we’re talking about Saturn, let me give you some important information I should have included in my previous forecast. I’ll set the larger stage first, then show you Saturn’s role.
Just the Outer Planets
The most important astrology event of this decade is a Mini Grand Trine with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
These three outer planets, known as the “gods of change,” are the most potent game changers in astrology. It’s front page news when any of them steps into the spotlight. When all three combine their power, as they are now, it’s historic.
How historic? These gods of change haven’t come together this powerfully since the American Revolution. And they won’t be this strong again for another 170 years. This is, quite literally, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
A Mini Grand Trine is a harmonious aspect pattern, which can make it easier to create life-affirming outcomes. But its flowing trine and sextiles can’t stop these planets’ darker energies from manifesting. Examples of this include the heartless aggression, chaotic behavior, and autocratic impulses of the Trump administration, the lethal suffering Israel is inflicting on the people of Gaza, and Russia’s unrelenting war in Ukraine.
However, grim political realities need not stop you from using this Mini Grand Trine’s positive potentials. It can help you magnificently transform yourself and the world around you. In fact, our challenging global situation could be exactly what’s needed for a dramatic shift into a more harmonious and awakened reality!
Adding Saturn
And now Saturn’s in the mix. He’s conjunct Neptune, right in the center of this aspect pattern.
Saturn joined the gods of change Mini Grand Trine on 4/11, and his four-planet version of this aspect pattern had its first peak on 6/10. This Mini Grand Trine with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will peak again on 2/22/2026 and end on 4/16/2026. (The version without Saturn will persevere until mid-2030.)
Saturn brings challenge, delays, and obstructions where they’re needed for personal and collective growth. We’re certainly seeing plenty of that! In his darker expressions, Saturn can be cold, calculating, and heartless. He can believe that the end justifies the means, however horrible they may be.
But Saturn can also help you be mature, wise, and responsible. He can help you “plan to work and work the plan” and manage your time well. And he can be a paragon of productivity.
His conjunction with Neptune adds additional possibilities. As noted above in my Saturn retrograde interpretation, these include more effective Law of Attraction manifestation and easier attainment of embodied awakening. This Saturn-Neptune conjunction also empowers the conscious dissolution of whatever has outlived its usefulness.

T-Square Supports Soul-Aligned Relating and Creating
Also on 7/13, relationships and creativity that align with your soul purpose are energized by a T-Square that starts today, peaks on 7/22, and ends on 7/30. It includes Venus, Mars, and the lunar nodes.
Venus carries the core meanings of relating and creating. Her square with Mars energizes and amplifies these themes. The presence of the lunar nodes makes it easier to do this in a way that supports your life purpose.
With Venus in Gemini, try to connect with a variety of appropriate people and enjoy more diversity in your creative expression. Mars’ placement in Virgo can help you be of greater service, and take what you’re doing to a higher level of refinement.
7/14 (Mon)
Saturn-Enhanced Mini Grand Trine Lights Up Even More!
In yesterday’s forecast, I described how Saturn is adding additional power and meaning to the “gods of change” Mini Grand Trine. Today, this enhanced aspect pattern is further illuminated as the Sun joins with it to form a Cradle.
This Cradle starts today (7/14), peaks on 7/24, and ends on 7/31. This harmonious aspect pattern includes the Sun, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
The Sun further empowers all the potentials of the other planets by shining its light on them. Since the Sun is the core of personality, it also makes it easier for you to embody the tremendous potential of these slower planets!
New T-Square Supports Trauma Healing
Also on 7/14, trauma healing is powerfully supported by a T-Square with the Sun, Chiron, and Pluto. It starts today, peaks on 7/22, and ends on 7/29.
Chiron, energized in Aries, is the wounded healer. He’s the planet most explicitly associated with shadow work. Pluto, lord of the underworld where old trauma is buried, also potently embodies this theme.
Most people shy away from facing their unhealed emotional pain. However, feeling it one last time is the only way to heal it once and for all. Thankfully, my free Healing Invocation can make this process much quicker and easier than you might have thought possible.
This T-Square can also support you if you want to step out as a healer yourself. That’s because the Sun is in Leo for the second half of this aspect pattern, supporting your role as a leader. In this scenario, you embody Chiron’s role of healer, and use Pluto to empower your healing service!
7/15 (Tue)
Thor’s Hammer Catalyzes Relationship Growth
Do you make the most meaningful growth when things are purring along smoothly, or when you have to overcome challenges? Isn’t it during the more difficult times?
You could have opportunities to improve your relationships and creative expression as Venus, Mars, and Pluto form a Thor’s Hammer. This intense aspect pattern starts today (7/15), peaks on 7/20, and ends on 7/24.
With Venus in Gemini, try a variety of problem-solving approaches until you find one that works. Mars in Virgo carries a similar message: keep refining your approach until it serves you optimally. In relationship healing, seek solutions that serve both you and your partner.
For dealing with relationship challenges, you may find some of the ideas in my relationship post helpful.
