July 2025 provides us with a taste of the astrological future, as Uranus enters Gemini next Monday completeing the major outer body ingresses this year. Pluto is now settled in Aquarius, Neptune, and Saturn, are in Aries. Neptune entered Aries on March 30 but retrogrades back into Pisces on October 22nd, and then fully re-enters Aries on January 26th 2026, where he will remain until March 2039. Uranus enters Gemini on July 7th, briefly returning to Taurus on November 8th before re-entering Gemini on April 26th 2026, for a 7 year stay. These next four months allow us the glimpse of what lies ahead. 05.24 The waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 22 Virgo opposition her ascending node at 22 Pisces 07.14 The Sun at 10 Cancer waxing novile Uranus at 30 Taurus 14.43 The Moon at 27 Virgo waxing trine Venus at 27 Taurus 20.47 The Moon at 30 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 30 Taurus. The Moon is void of course for 21 mins 21.18 The Moon enters Libra

A weak planetary kite is manifest as the Moon opposes Saturn and Neptune, and Pluto, Venus and Uranus complete an air grand trine. Ease of social communication may well be evident for most of today. 00.54 The slowly waxing Moon decelerating at 2 Libra opposition Saturn at 2 Aries 01.35 The Moon at 2 Libra opposition Neptune at 2 Aries 03.27 The Moon at 3 Libra waning trine Pluto at 3 Aquarius 07.26 The Moon at 5 Libra waxing square Jupiter at 5 Cancer 10.30 The Moon at 7 Libra waxing sextile Mercury at 7 Leo 19.31 The Moon at First Quarter. The Moon is then void of course for just over a massive 38 hours.

The slowly waxing and decelerating first quarter Moon drifts 'rudderless' void of course in Libra all day. 06.45 Mars at 9 Virgo waning biquintile Pluto at 3 Aquarius Venus is applying in a conjunction with Uranus in late Taurus, exact tomorrow. Today drifts, tomorrow brings changes.

An astrologically dynamic day with possible fateful events and emotional overtones arising as the day progresses. 05.48 Venus at 30 Taurus waning decile Jupiter at 6 Cancer The very slowly waxing first quarter Moon forms a yod with Venus+Uranus and Saturn+Neptune 09.00 to 14.00 08.57 The Moon at 30 Libra waxing quincunx Venus at 30 Taurus 09.17 The Moon at 30 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 30 Taurus 09.35 The Moon enters Scorpio 12.46 Venus conjunction Uranus at 30 Taurus Watch the markets.

Venus sextiles Saturn and Neptune on Sunday, July 6th, love 'chances the hand'. Venus trines Pluto on Monday July 7th, regeneration of love. Venus is sextile Mercury on July 18th, fun and frivolity. Venus squares Mars on Jul7 23rd, desert storms and shifting sands. Venus leaves Gemini for Cancer on July 31st. (She is square Saturn and Neptune on Aug 1st.) The remainder of July has a 'social levity' about it. 15.46 The Moon at 3 Scorpio waning square Pluto at 3 Aquarius 17.38 NEPTUNE TURNS RETROGRADE at 2 degrees Aries. 19.14 The Sun at 13 Cancer waxing quad-novile Pluto at 3 Aquarius 21.07 The Moon at 6 Scorpio waxing trine Jupiter at 6 Cancer

02.30 The very slowly waxing Moon is at apogee, furthest from the Earth and slowest all month. 04.29 The Moon at 9 Scorpio waxing square Mercury at 9 Leo 06.21 The Moon at 10 Scorpio waxing sextile Mars at 10 Virgo 13.30 The Moon at 14 Scorpio waxing trine The Sun at 14 Cancer 22.22 Jupiter at 6 Cancer waxing decile Uranus at 30 Taurus The current 13.5 year synodic cycle of Jupiter and Uranus began in Taurus on April 21st 2024. It reaches its first quarter phase in September 2027. It climaxes across Gemini Sagittarius in 2031 and completes in 2037-2038 in Cancer. The Jupiter Uranus cycle is all about consciousness expansion. (The current cycle began as the G7 countries agreed to phase out unabated coal power by 2030-2035.) Today's waxing decile is a single hit. It represents the revelation of a new quality of consciousness to be actualised through this cycle. This moment in time gives us a vision of what is to be. (Keep the vision to yourself).

Emotionally charged wilfulness and personality issues colour this rather tough going Sunday. 05.21 The slowly waxing Moon acclerating at 22 Scorpio trine her node at 22 Pisces 08.44 Venus at 2 Gemini waxing sextile Saturn at 2 Aries 13.57 The Sun at 15 Cancer waxing bi-septile Saturn at 2 Aries 14.47 Venus at 2 Gemini waxing sextile Neptune at 2 Aries 19.31 The Sun at 15 Cancer waxing semi-square Uranus at 30 Taurus 20.55 The Sun at 15 Cancer waxing bi-septile Neptune at 2 Aries 22.05 The Moon at 30 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 30 Taurus The Moon is void of course for just 3 mins. 22.08 The Moon enters Sagittarius 22.17 The Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase The procession to Thursday's Full Moon now begins in earnest.

July 7th 2025

Uranus first enters Gemini

01.55 The slowly waxing gibbous Moon accelerating at 2 Sagittarius waning trine Saturn at 2 Aries 02.27 The Moon at 2 Sagittarius waning trine Neptune at 2 Aries The Moon forms a trapezium with Pluto, Venus+Uranus and Saturn+Neptune 02.00 to 09.00. 03.38 The Moon at 3 Sagittarius opposition Venus at 3 Gemini 04.07 The Moon at 3 Sagittarius waning sextile Pluto at 3 Aquarius 07.58 Uranus enters Gemini. This is a big one. Uranus, the planet associated with radical change, technology and innovation, will enter the sign of Gemini on July 7 this year until May 22, 2033. A seven year global episode of invention, discovery, twists and radical inventions which change our lives lie ahead. Uranus's initial residence in this sign is from today July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. He returns here for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. The two most recent transits of Uranus in Gemini include the US involvement in World War 2 (1941-1945) and the US Civil War (1861-1865). The transit of Uranus through Gemini from 1774-1782, includes the American Revolutionary War. The last time Uranus entered Gemini was August 7th 1941. The previous 7 years to this, with Uranus in Taurus, (Hitler's Sun sign), had seen the great rise to power of this man. His Blitzkrieg war has resulted in his take over of much of western Europe including the Netherlands, Belgium, and northern France. As Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barbarossa, was just 2 months underway, Uranus entered Gemini. The tide of the war turned. Such is the dramatic quality, and 'turning power' of today's ingress. As Uranus enters Gemini he completes the triad of Pluto in Aquarius, and Neptune in Aries. This last occurred in 1405 BC. According to some interpretations of biblical timelines, 1405 BC marks the end of the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites and the death of Moses, following the Exodus from Egypt. The decade of 1409-1400 BC includes the destruction of the Palace of Minos, the rise of Mycenaean civilization, and the shift of political and cultural power in the Aegean from Crete to mainland Greece. Well there's more world history about to unfold this time around. 08.44 Venus at 3 Gemini waxing trine Pluto at 3 Aquarius 10.37 The Moon at 6 Sagittarius waxing quincunx Jupiter at 6 Cancer 21.01 The Moon at 12 Sagittarius waxing trine Mercury at 12 Leo 21.30 The Moon at 12 Sagittarius waxing square Mars at 12 Virgo. The Moon is void of course for a staggering 35.5 hours. STATE OF THE SKY. (ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun today is at 16 degrees Cancer. There are 74 days to the September Equinox. Jupiter is also in Cancer. Venus and Uranus are in Gemini. We have passed the midway point between eclipse seasons. Saturn and Neptune apply in a 'test of faith' conjunction, dominating most of 2025, being closest on July 14th, and are exactly conjunct in Feb. 2026. So far it seems that Neptune in Aries is inducing social upheaval and Saturn in Aries is all about 'war readiness'. Neptune and Pluto are retrograde. MERCURY Mercury entered Leo on June 26th as an evening star. He resides in this sign for a lengthy 66 days. His retrograde phase occurs during this residence but unusually there are no repeat aspects this time. It's rather an uneventful ride for the messenger of the Gods. Mercury entered his shadow on June 30th. Mercury slows to a halt and turns retrograde on July 18th at 16 degrees Leo. He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 9 Leo on July 31st. As a morning star Mercury turns direct at 4 Leo on August 11th. Mercury sextiles Mars on Aug 15th. Mercury leaves his shadow on Aug 25th. Mercury leaves Leo for Virgo on Sept 2nd. There you have it. A period of opinionated fixed communications. 'Generous to a fault-but no give'. Mercury retrograde periods ahead. July 18 to Aug 11, 2025 Nov 9 to Nov 29, 2025 Feb. 25 to Mar 20, 2026 Jun 29 to Jul 23, 2026 Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 VENUS Venus entered Gemini as a morning star on July 4th and resides here for a playful, busy and engaging 27 days. Venus trines Pluto on Monday July 7th, regeneration of love. Venus is sextile Mercury on July 18th, fun and frivolity. Venus squares Mars on Jul7 23rd, desert storms and shifting sands. Venus leaves Gemini for Cancer on July 31st. (She is square Saturn and Neptune on Aug 1st.) The remainder of July has a 'social levity' about it. Venus' next retrograde period is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. Venus' next retrograde period is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars entered Virgo on June 17th. He resides in this sign for a materially productive 53 days. Mars in Virgo is 'diligent practicality in action'. It favours good workmanship and strives for exactitude and perfection. Let's go with it. His residence here this time his mainly favourable. Mars squares Venus on July 23rd-testy. Mars moves on into Libra on August 6th and within 3 days scarily opposes Saturn and Neptune, but that's a story for another day. Mars is next retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 in Leo/Virgo. JUPITER Jupiter is in Cancer from June 9th 2025 to June 30th 2026. Jupiter squared Saturn on June 15th and then squared Neptune on June 19th. He is retrograde from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is direct in Aries. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasts from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settles in Aries on February 14, 2026. Saturn stations in Aries on July 13th 2025 at 2 degrees Aries. We are in for a three month 'taster' trip. New lessons on cutting out the nonsense, getting a grip on future plans, less drift, less emotion. Lean, mean and keen. URANUS Uranus first buzzes into Gemini on 7th July 2025. Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. NEPTUNE Neptune first entered Aries on March 30th 2025. He is now retrograde. Already we have tastes of a new glam terrorism abroad. PLUTO Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. There will be gigantic changes brought about by this 20 year residence. The life we have known will be transformed. There will be a manifestation of the full potential of technology, a new revolution is ahead of us. We had a taste of this future (note all the fuss about AI earlier in 2023). Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. This is the most exciting time ahead, astrologically speaking. Saturn in Aries will sextile Pluto in 2026 and square Pluto 3 times during 2028-2029. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Sunday Sept 7th 2025. A Total Lunar Eclipse at 15 Pisces, visible at Moonrise UK. 18.12 GMT Sept 21st 2025. A partial Solar Eclipse at 29 Virgo visible from the far southern Pacific. 19.42 GMT Feb 17th 2026. An Annular Solar Eclipse at 29 Aquarius visible from Antarctica. March 2nd-3rd 2026. A Total Lunar Eclipse at 13 Virgo visible from the Pacific, North West America and North East Asia. Aug 12th 2026. A Total Solar Eclipse at 20 Leo visible from Europe(far northwest Spain, low at sunset.) Aug 28th-29th 2026 A Partial Lunar Eclipse at 5 Pisces visible from Europe, Africa and America. Feb 6th 2027 An annular Solar Eclipse at 17 Aquarius. Feb 21st 2027 A penumbral lunar eclipse at 3 Virgo. Aug 2nd 2027 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE at 11 Leo. ECLIPSE OF THE CENTURY. ONE YOU MUST NOT MISS. THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (June/July 2025) past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred in January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

The Moon is void of course in Sagittarius all day. She is Full in Capricorn on Thursday evening (GMT). 02.29 Mars at 12 Virgo waxing quad-novile Saturn at 2 Aries 06.29 The slowly waxing gibbous Moon accelerating at 16 Sagittarius waxing quincunx The Sun at 16 Cancer 13.03 Mars at 12 Virgo waxing quad-novile Neptune at 2 Aries 13.58 Mercury in his shadow and 10 days from his retrograde phase, at 12 Leo waxing quintile Uranus at 0 Gemini 16.31 The Moon at 22 Sagittarius squares her node from deep south of the equator.

Saturn and Neptune are conjunct the Uranus/Pluto midpoint, sextile both from July 9th to the end of August, and this pattern lingers. It peaks 11th/12th August. This smacks of serious global tension. The Uranus/Pluto midpoint symbolises the overthrow of the old order and the construction of the New. Saturn and Neptune on that midpoint symbolise the great pressure of mass emotion and deep vision both brought to bear. Powerful days are at hand Lunar pressures are high today. The Moon crawls in Capricorn struggling to attain significant altitude in northern skies. In the south the Moon rides full and high. The next two days are rough and tough. 'Womb to tomb' stuff. 08.56 The heavily waxing and accelerating gibbous Moon enters Capricorn 09.06 The Moon at zero Capricorn waning quincunx Uranus at zero Gemini 12.37 The Moon at 2 Capricorn waning square Saturn at 2 Aries 13.05 The Moon at 2 Capricorn waning square Neptune at 2 Aries 16.16 Mercury at 13 Leo waxing decile Jupiter at 7 Cancer 19.55 The Moon at 6 Capricorn waning quincunx Venus at 6 Gemini 21.37 Mars at 13 Virgo waxing bi-septile Uranus at 0 Gemini 22.00 The Moon at 7 Capricorn opposition Jupiter at 7 Cancer The Full Moon peaks tomorrow.

10.07 The almost Full Moon accelerating at 13 Capricorn waxing quincunx Mercury at 13 Leo 10.12 The Moon at 13 Capricorn waxing trine Mars at 13 Virgo 20.37 Moment of FULL MOON.(The Moon is then void of course for 20.75 hours). The Full Moon is quintile Saturn and Neptune. (Special talents.) She separates from a trine aspect to Mars. Cardinality predominates. This is a pushy, gritty, character building, resourceful tough going Full Moon. Gutsy effort brings results. Today's Full Moon is the 4th Full Moon following the Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Virgo on March 14th 2025 and the penultimate Full Moon before another Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7th 2025 at 15 degrees Pisces. At the exact moment of Full Moon today Saturn and Neptune straddle Gaza. It is Sunrise over the Tasman Sea. Sunset is at Oslo, Moonrise is at Helsinki, London and at Buenos Aires. Uranus is at lower culmination at London. Moonset is over the Great Wall of China and at Beijing. High Noon is at Vancouver and true midnight is at Teheran where the Moon culminates. Venus rises at Murmansk. Pluto culminates at Karachi, Uranus rises at Delhi, Mars culminates at New York. It looks to me as if London is 'starred' by this Full Moon. The Moon rises and Uranus is at lower culmination at the exact moment of Full Moon today. Transiting Neptune and Saturn are currently in opposition to the UK natal Uranus and this double opposition hits even harder and tighter in March 2026. Today's Full Moon also directly hits Iran's Neptune (1501 chart), Saudi's Saturn, Ukraine and Belarus' Node, the Brexit Saturn, Morocco's Moon, Los Angeles' Mars, Hezbollah's Moon, Netherlands' Mars, Jinping's Chiron, Jim Carrey's Mars, Jimmy Page's Sun, Harry Kane's Uranus and Neptune. It opposes the UK Moon and squares JD Vance's Moon.

00.54 Venus at 7 Gemini waning semi-sextile Jupiter at 7 Cancer 01.23 The void of course waning full Moon, accelerating at 21 Capricorn, sextiles her node at 21 Pisces 12.08 Jupiter at 7 Cancer waxing tri-septile Pluto at 3 AquariusThe current 13 year synodic cycle of Jupiter and Pluto, symbolising 'power plays', started on Nov 12th 2020 in Capricorn. At that time we witnessed a worldwide rampant and escalating covid-19 virus, the appearance of vaccines and the US president refusing to concede electoral defeat. The cycle reached it first quarter square phase in May 2023, Russia and Belarus signed an agreement to station Russian tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory. The cycle climaxes with the opposition across Leo/Aquarius next year in July 2026 and ends in Feb 2033 in Aquarius. We are in the waxing gibbous phase of this power play cycle. Today's waxing tri-septile aspect is a single hit. It fosters a recognition of a transcendent interplay of forces behind the current power games we see in operation all over the world. Pride before a fall. 17.23 The Moon enters Aquarius joining Pluto in this sign 17.43 The Moon at zero Aquarius waning trine Uranus at zero Gemini 20.56 The Moon at 2 Aquarius waning sextile Saturn at 2 Aries 21.21 The Moon at 2 Aquarius waning sextile Neptune at 2 Aries 22.42 The Moon conjunction Pluto at 3 Aquarius

In the northern hemisphere the 40 lightest days of 2025 are now over. In the south the darkest 40 days are over. We are 70 days from the Libran Equinox. 00.18 The Sun at 20 Cancer waxing tri-decile Saturn at 2 Aries 06.02 The Sun at 20 Cancer waxing tri-decile Neptune at 2 Aries 06.54 The waning full Moon at 7 Aquarius waning quincunx Jupiter at 7 Cancer 09.08 The Moon at 9 Aquarius waning trine Venus at 9 Gemini 19.46 The Moon at 14 Aquarius opposition Mercury at 14 Leo The Moon is void of course for 26 hours. 20.16 The Moon at 15 Aquarius waxing quincunx Mars at 15 Virgo

02.22 SATURN TURNS RETROGRADE. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasts from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25, then he returns to Pisces for 5 months. Life's recent lessons not learned will only have to be revisited during this period. Saturn's profoundly vast and deeply moving encounter with Neptune will now just have to wait till next year to complete. 07.58 The waning full Moon decelerating at 21 Aquarius quincunx The Sun at 21 Cancer 09.37 The Sun at 21 Cancer waxing trine the lunar node at 21 Pisces 18.45 The Sun at 22 Cancer waxing septile Uranus at 0 Gemini touch of magic. 23.46 The Moon enters Pisces, and the world moves on...

(ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun today is at 23 degrees Cancer. There are 67 days to the September Equinox. Jupiter is also in Cancer. Venus and Uranus are in Gemini. Mercury is 4 days from his retrograde phase. We have passed the midway point between eclipse seasons. Saturn and Neptune's unconsummated 'test of faith' conjunction, dominating most of 2025, being closest on July 14th, is exactly conjunct in Feb. 2026. So far it seems that Neptune in Aries is inducing social unease and Saturn in Aries is engendering 'war readiness'. Saturn, Neptune and Pluto are now retrograde. MERCURY Mercury entered Leo on June 26th as an evening star. He resides in this sign for a lengthy 66 days. His retrograde phase occurs during this residence but unusually there are no repeat aspects this time. It's rather an uneventful ride for the messenger of the Gods. Mercury entered his shadow on June 30th. Mercury slows to a halt and turns retrograde on July 18th at 16 degrees Leo. He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 9 Leo on July 31st. As a morning star Mercury turns direct at 4 Leo on August 11th. Mercury sextiles Mars on Aug 15th. Mercury leaves his shadow on Aug 25th. Mercury leaves Leo for Virgo on Sept 2nd. There you have it. A period of opinionated fixed communications. 'Generous to a fault-but no give'. Mercury retrograde periods ahead.

Venus is sextile Mercury on July 18th, fun and frivolity. Venus squares Mars on July 23rd, desert storms and shifting sands. Venus leaves Gemini for Cancer on July 31st.

Saturn and Neptune are/have been conjunct the Uranus/Pluto midpoint, sextile both from July 9th to the end of August, and this pattern lingers. It peaks 11th/12th August. This smacks of serious global tension. The Uranus/Pluto midpoint symbolises the overthrow of the old order and the construction of the New. Saturn and Neptune on that midpoint symbolise the great pressure of mass emotion and deep vision both brought to bear. Mercury turning retrograde today adds changes of heart and mind to the astrological mix. 00.38 The rapidly waning and accelerating Moon is at her (Cardinal) Last Quarter phase. 'Crisis in consciousness'. The Moon is then void of course for 7.4 hours. 04.41 MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE at 16 degrees Leo. He remains retrograde for 24 days until Aug 11th. It's rather an uneventful ride for the messenger of the Gods. Mercury entered his shadow on June 30th. He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 9 Leo on July 31st. He makes no other aspects during his retro phase, quite unusual. Then as a morning star Mercury turns direct at 4 Leo on August 11th. Mercury sextiles Mars on Aug 15th. Mercury leaves his shadow on Aug 25th. Mercury leaves Leo for Virgo on Sept 2nd. Incidentally stationary Mercury today is conjunct China's natal Mars and Israel's natal Saturn. 08.00 The Moon enters Taurus 12.38 The Moon at 3 Taurus waxing square Pluto at 3 Aquarius 13.38 retro-Mercury at 16 Leo waxing sextile Venus at 16 Gemini 22.58 The Moon at 9 Taurus waning sextile Jupiter at 9 Cancer

Venus in Gemini, Mars in Virgo and the Lunar Node in Pisces form a mutable T-square from today up to the New Moon on July 24th, peaking on Monday 21st. This 'moving social dynamic' pattern is in addition to Saturn and Neptune being conjunct the Uranus/Pluto midpoint, sextile both from July 9th to the end of August, evoking global geo-political events of note, and Mercury being retrograde forcing reappraisals. The New Moon in Leo next Thursday is opposite Pluto, trine Saturn/Neptune and sextile Uranus and provides a powerful challenge of having to respond to new arisings. The remainder of July is astrologically eventful. 04.01 Mars at 18 Virgo waxing tri-decile Uranus at 0 Gemini 10.09 The very rapidly waning Moon at 16 Taurus waning square retro-Mercury at 16 Leo 15.37 The Moon at 19 Taurus waning trine Mars at 19 Virgo 19.12 The Moon at 21 Taurus sextiles her node at 21 Pisces

The Venus, Mars, Lunar Node T-square is tightening, peaking on Wednesday, testing the robustness of human relationships over this day and the few days ahead. 00.48 The Sun at 28 Cancer waning septile Mars at 19 Virgo 06.44 The very rapidly waning Moon at 28 Taurus waning sextile The Sun at 28 Cancer. The Moon is void of course for 3.7 hours 10.23 The Moon enters Gemini joining Venus and Uranus in this sign. The last time that these three bodies were all together in Gemini was May 29th 1949. 10.43 Venus at 18 Gemini waxing sesuiquadrate Pluto at 3 Aquarius 11.16 The Moon conjunction Uranus at 1 Gemini 13.31 The Moon at 2 Gemini waxing sextile Saturn at 2 Aries 13.54 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and closest to the Earth all month. 13.54 The Moon at 2 Gemini waxing sextile Neptune at 2 Aries 14.53 The Moon at 3 Gemini waxing trine Pluto at 3 Aquarius 20.43 retro-Mercury at 15 Leo waxing decile Jupiter at 9 Cancer

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Cancer. The Sun enters Leo tomorrow. The Sun, Saturn+Neptune, Uranus and Pluto form 4 points of a hexagon for the remainder of July 2025. This suggets an eventful period. 11.37 The very rapidly waning Moon at 15 Gemini waning sextile Mercury at 15 Leo 18.24 The Moon conjunction Venus at 19 Gemini 19.53 The Moon at 20 Gemini waning square Mars at 20 Virgo. The Moon is void of course for 16.6 hours 21.04 The Moon at 21 Gemini waxing squares her node from the high north. 21.32 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now starts in earnest. 22.39 The Sun at 29 Cancer waxing novile Venus at 19 Gemini 23.11 The Sun at 29 Cancer waning sesuiquadrate Mercury at 15 Leo STATE OF THE SKY. (ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun today is at 29 degrees Cancer. There are 60 days to the September Equinox. Jupiter is also in Cancer. The Sun enters Leo tomorrow. Venus and Uranus are in Gemini. Mercury is now in his retrograde phase. We have passed the midway point between eclipse seasons and are approaching a Total Lunar Eclipse in 7 weeks time. Saturn and Neptune's unconsummated 'test of faith' conjunction, dominating most of 2025, was closest on July 14th and is exactly conjunct in Feb. 2026. So far it seems that Neptune in Aries is inducing social unease and Saturn in Aries is engendering 'war readiness'. Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto are now retrograde. The remainder of July witnesses the Sun, Saturn+Neptune, Uranus and Pluto forming 4 points of a hexagon suggesting significant evens are at hand. A Venus, Mars, Lunar Node T-square is tightening, peaking on Wednesday, testing the robustness of human relationships over this day and the few days ahead The New Moon in Leo on Wednesday is trine Saturn and Neptune, opposite Pluto and sextile Uranus. The elements Fire and Air dominate the occasion. This is a powerfully creative and transforming lunation. It burns strongly and is accompanied by dynamic planetary geometry. MERCURY Mercury entered Leo on June 26th as an evening star. He resides in this sign for a lengthy 66 days. His retrograde phase occurs during this residence but unusually there are no repeat aspects this time. It's rather an uneventful ride for the messenger of the Gods. Mercury entered his shadow on June 30th. Mercury slows to a halt and turned retrograde on July 18th at 16 degrees Leo. He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 9 Leo on July 31st. As a morning star Mercury turns direct at 4 Leo on August 11th. Mercury sextiles Mars on Aug 15th. Mercury leaves his shadow on Aug 25th. Mercury leaves Leo for Virgo on Sept 2nd. There you have it. A period of opinionated fixed communications. 'Generous to a fault-but no give'. Mercury retrograde periods ahead. Current one - July 18 to Aug 11, 2025 Nov 9 to Nov 29, 2025 Feb. 25 to Mar 20, 2026 Jun 29 to Jul 23, 2026 Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 VENUS Venus entered Gemini as a morning star on July 4th and resides here for a playful, busy and engaging 27 days. Venus squares Mars on Wednesday July 23rd, desert storms and shifting sands. Venus leaves Gemini for Cancer on July 31st. (She is square Saturn and Neptune on Aug 1st.) The remainder of July has a 'social levity' about it. Venus' next retrograde period is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars entered Virgo on June 17th. He resides in this sign for a materially productive 53 days. Mars in Virgo is 'diligent practicality in action'. It favours good workmanship and strives for exactitude and perfection. Let's go with it. His residence here this time his mainly favourable. Mars squares Venus on July 23rd-testy. Mars moves on into Libra on August 6th and within 3 days scarily opposes Saturn and Neptune, but that's a story for another day. Mars is next retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 in Leo/Virgo. JUPITER Jupiter is in Cancer from June 9th 2025 to June 30th 2026. Jupiter squared Saturn on June 15th and then squared Neptune on June 19th. He is retrograde from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is retrograde in Aries. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasts from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settles in Aries on February 14, 2026. Saturn stations in Aries on July 13th 2025 at 2 degrees Aries. We are in for a three month 'taster' trip. New lessons on cutting out the nonsense, getting a grip on future plans, less drift, less emotion. Lean, mean and keen. URANUS Uranus first buzzed into Gemini on 7th July 2025. This is a big one. Uranus, the planet associated with radical change, technology and innovation, will enter the sign of Gemini on July 7 this year until May 22, 2033. A seven year global episode of invention, discovery, twists and radical inventions which change our lives lie ahead. Uranus's initial residence in this sign is from today July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. He returns here for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. The two most recent transits of Uranus in Gemini include the US involvement in World War 2 (1941-1945) and the US Civil War (1861-1865). The transit of Uranus through Gemini from 1774-1782, includes the American Revolutionary War. The last time Uranus entered Gemini was August 7th 1941. The previous 7 years to this, with Uranus in Taurus, (Hitler's Sun sign), had seen the great rise to power of this man. His Blitzkrieg war has resulted in his take over of much of western Europe including the Netherlands, Belgium, and northern France. As Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, known as Operation Barbarossa, was just 2 months underway, Uranus entered Gemini. The tide of the war turned. Such is the dramatic quality, and 'turning power' of today's ingress. As Uranus enters Gemini he completes the triad of Pluto in Aquarius, and Neptune in Aries. This last occurred in 1405 BC. According to some interpretations of biblical timelines, 1405 BC marks the end of the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites and the death of Moses, following the Exodus from Egypt. The decade of 1409-1400 BC includes the destruction of the Palace of Minos, the rise of Mycenaean civilization, and the shift of political and cultural power in the Aegean from Crete to mainland Greece. Well there's more world history about to unfold this time around. Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. NEPTUNE Neptune first entered Aries on March 30th 2025. He is now retrograde in Aries. PLUTO Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. He is currently retrograde. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. This is the most exciting time ahead, astrologically speaking. Saturn in Aries will sextile Pluto in 2026 and square Pluto 3 times during 2028-2029. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Sunday Sept 7th 2025.

THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (June/July 2025) past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred in January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

Astrowatch-Donald Trump. Transiting Mars is currently conjunct the Moon's descending Node (Ketu) in Virgo. Both planet and point make tight square aspects to the president's natal Node, his Sun and his Moon, today and over the next few days. This could pack a punch. Release and Reassessment. These transits force out unresolved issues, prompting a release of what no longer serves. 'Karmic Lessons' in store. 12.28 The rapidly waning balsamic Moon enters Cancer joining the Sun, who leaves in just over an hour, and Jupiter in this sign. 13.31 The Sun enters Leo and a new astrological month begins. 15.34 The Moon at 2 Cancer waxing square Saturn at 2 Aries 15.57 The Moon at 2 Cancer waxing square Neptune at 2 Aries 16.54 The Moon at 3 Cancer waxing quincunx Pluto at 3 Aquarius 20.09 retro-Mercury at 15 Leo waning decile Mars at 21 Virgo 22.03 Mars at 21 Virgo opposition the lunar node at 21 Pisces

Yesterday's New Moon in Leo occurred as Gazans face starvation as Israel and US recall ceasefire negotiators. The major causalities are Children. Gaza is starving and outrage is spreading. Netanyahu must listen. Trucks are at border as hunger ravages Gaza. The Department of justice interviewed Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell as the New Moon was born. New Moon energy infuses the biosphere. The focus now is on recreation, creativity, leadership, generosity and command.
