After last week’s Full Moon, the emphasis is on wrapping up, completion and working on projects already in motion. It doesn't mean that you can’t start something new — however you might move against instead of flow with situations.

This is maximized by a couple of things:

1. Saturn went retrograde this past weekend. Hesitation seems greater. Systems pull back instead of move forward especially with new ways to be.

Actually, now that Pluto has left Capricorn, we can theoretically define things in the brave new world in which we could find ourselves in this millennium.

Yet, are human beings really ready for survival through evolution or are do they prefer to hold up in their bunkers and attempt maintenance of what has been?

Pluto is in Aquarius, so of course there's been a lot of resistance and fear. Think about it. Capricorn is assigned “rulership” by Saturn. Saturn is easy to understand for Capricorn because it’s Lord Karma: limitations, discipline, structure, how we define things, how we construct things, what our fears are because nothing limits us as much as fear.

Capricorns respond to uniform ways of being. They dress a certain way. They like routines. They take a long time before they move into something else because when they do, it’s a commitment. They are cautious. They are willing to work on something that takes a long time to achieve and really only value it if they've put a lot of work into it.

Yet the ancients also considered Aquarius linked to Saturn. People sometimes have trouble conceptualizing the link of Saturn to both Aquarius and Capricorn. Uranus, the planet of change, freedom and the unexpected, seems to fit Aquarius better. Aquarians do things differently, see themselves as unique, spin the world in a way that not everybody does.

The Saturnine similarity is that Aquarians are just as rigid (perhaps more so) in their thinking as Capricorns. With Pluto in Aquarius, systems will go through a metamorphosis that makes the old ways untenable.

It's a new way to set up a platform and it does require change, so reinforce what you would like to unfold.

2. Mercury will go retrograde this week; plan how to proceed in methodical ways. The complete forecast is on the podcast…

July 7, 2025 — I've been talking about this day for a while. Anyone who's interested in astrology has probably seen spin about Uranus in Gemini. On July 7 Uranus enters Gemini at 3.45 AM ET.

At the end of this post is a link to my post about what we might expect with that transition.

This week, it's valuable to think of the change we want to invite in — especially in dialogue — Gemini is a sign linked to communication, writing, articulation.

And gossip, what's going on in the neighborhood? We are all aware of the speed online of news: how someone says something and it morphs into something else. It's time to better understand the value of verifiable information.

Pluto is early degree in the sign of Aquarius. Meanwhile, Uranus is on its way out of the sign of Taurus. Both Aquarius and Taurus are fixed signs.

July 4th has the beginning and end of these planetary journeys in fixed sign energy. Tenacious, focused, stubborn = fixed.

On July 4th is if you are in place where there's a lot of people — be alert, pay attention to what's around you. Inspiration and revelation can be had for those who are present in the moment.
