For people new to the community, you can join my eList HERE to be kept in the loop. I usually send out the JULY Monthly Missive during the first week of the month, but if/when things come up in-between, you may get the occasional additional email to alert you to events or classes that are time-sensitive.
7/19 • Mars (energy & actions) ~sextile~ Saturn (endurance & stability):
This energy significantly boosts your drive to establish stability on your own terms. You will find yourself more motivated to put in the necessary work & dedication, starting with meticulous planning followed by methodical execution. It is about both planning & action, and this combination can yield tangible results over time. The outcomes of your efforts or investments will directly reflect the energy that you have dedicated to stabilizing your life recently. Rather than suppressing this energy, it is crucial to direct it consciously. Excessive restriction & limitations may lead to explosive outcomes down the line, whereas patience & channeling this energy into cultivating a solid foundation will help you attain results and manifest your desires.
7/20 • Jupiter (Belief System, Laws & Religion) ~trine~ Neptune (Faith, Mysticism & Spirituality):
These two getting together stimulates some pretty large concepts that are broader & deeper than most care to go. However, for my dreamers & faith-keepers, this one is for YOU! For you doubter-doom ‘n gloom-ers, this one is for you too because it can actually give you the much needed & overdue dose of magic that you are not usually open & receptive to. These two like to expand our consciousness and what we believe to be possible for ourselves, each other & the planet. This is the activation to work with when you are ready to deepen your dedication to a spiritual practice and bring more *Magic & Spirit* into all that you do. It is a great time to practice communing with your Angels, Ancestors, Orishas & Animal Spirit Guides. My advice is to stay in the moment, especially when doing spiritual or mystical things, it is best to be fully conscious & present. When doing physical, reality things, be fully conscious & physically present. Don’t try to do both at the same time and be ready to question what you believe along the way. The only other thing is, of course, illusion & delusion with these two. One can make people overly optimistic, over-inflated & full of hot air and the other can make people downright crazy, delusional & completely disconnected from reality. It’s okay to expect miracles, but it is also okay to follow your true inner guidance if it prompts you to question things that may seem too good to be true.
7/20 • Jupiter (expansion) ~oppose~ Pluto (power):
These two Gods, Jupiter & Pluto, are potent indeed! This is about recognizing the inherent power of your perceptions and what you believe or claim as Truth. How much of it is consciously co-created and grows & expands with you … and how much is influenced by the depths of your subconscious? Jupiter moves the Story of your life along and contact with Pluto indicates an utter transformation, no half-way. If you have been integrity about the Story you’re telling, then this is a midpoint of sorts that allows you to see what is completely done and where you can course-correct around any deep revelations. Because Jupiter indicates success & luck, it can bring rewards for deep dedication and with that, more power that you will need to consciously ground (repeatedly) or it could overwhelm you completely. Keeping in mind any push-pull energies around power in general. If you are making self-centered choices, things could back-fire in unpleasant ways. However, if you are making choices that take into consideration the relative Truth to others or the larger Story, then much progress can be made because it enlarges the Circle, which brings in resources & energy from those who share a common vision. Think Higher and Dig Deeper! Reconsider your definitions of wealth & power.
Note that this activation happens every 12-years, however, the Sign Energy & Lesson changes along the way. The last one in 2013-14 was in Cancer/Capricorn and now they are in Leo/Aquarius. In any opposition, the goal is to find, maintain & strengthen the center-point. However, that usually entails first swinging from one extreme to another and lots of practice calibrating a natural balance that you can sustain long enough to be effective. In this case, the energetic theme is Head & Heart ~ Individual & Community ~ Attachment & Detachment ~ Personal & Global ~ which is ALL up for a recalibration within and around us. What is the Truth & Story? How must we completely change where autonomy, creativity & self-expression are concerned?
7/21 • Jupiter (expansion) ~sextile~ Uranus (innovation):
This is the energy of your own consciousness and the awakening that you are having at this time. It is a relatively rare combination of energies and you are invited to expand what you think is possible for your Self, as well as the rest of the world. Change is in the air! And this is an opportunity to gain some real traction as you make the larger connections in your life. Depending on your personal placements & disposition, as well as how you normally respond to unexpected changes in your life, will determine if and how disruptive these energies will be for you. This combo gets you excited about experimenting with new ideas & projects, expanding your consciousness as well as your community. We can use this powerful (and somewhat rare) combination of energy: Expansion & Innovation ~ Enthusiasm & Authenticity ~ Truth & Freedom. This is the clue that we are really stepping into a new era. Broaden your vision as anything is possible at this time and good things are on the way!
What makes this special is Jupiter is only in Leo for one year, every 12-years and Leo is all about you, love & authentic self-expression. What have you learned over recent years? How well and often did you allow your imagination or creativity to help you solve your problems? How often did synchronicity and positive thinking contribute to making your own personal Truth & Story more interesting?
Uranus is only in Gemini for 7-years every 84-years, which coincides with the expansion of technology & communication, globally. Since that is such a big cycle, I like to look at this time as another rare opportunity to “awaken” the Gemini House/Area of Life. Where can you use some grounding of excess electrical energy running through your physical body & mind? How can you be inspired to change your thinking and live your day-to-day in a whole new way, rather than be a victim of circumstance?
Together, these two are teaching you how to follow your own intuition, as well as the intuitive guidance of the mind & spirit. You are learning to trust Spirit but also remain grounded & present in your mind & body. These two remind you that you are made of both Earth & Stardust and you may just be waking up to some of your own natural super-powers. This combo reminds you that you are a Spirit in human form, a regenerating creature & a conscious being. Take advantage of this alignment to take all that you’ve learned in the last 3-12 years and apply it toward improving your life, even if that means shaking things up a bit.
7/23 • Mercury Direct in CANCER (until 8/9):
It is officially time to process, digest & release all that we’ve been through. Mercury in Cancer is a special reminder to be cautious & caring with Self & others. It’s time to get okay with moving sideways and backwards before going forward, and like a crab, we explore the perimeter to make sure that it is safe before going after what we want. Since this year has activated this amazing awakening and forced us all to connect with new ideas, thoughts & concepts to communicate or express ourselves, this will be a great time to further develop whatever ideas have come to you this year, so far. They are your babies and it is your responsibility to nurture their development and release them to feed the world in their own way. If you haven’t already, take some time for inward focus and some deep, radical self-care! Tis the season! We have to honor how we feel periodically, even if the culture would have us numbed-out, dumbed-down and constantly distracted. It’s like spring cleaning for your “feelers”, that Inner Empath that you are, the one that feels & senses what is best for you (and your family or community that you love). Use this energy to tune into what messages your particular moods have for you as well. Be sure to remind yourself over and over to ‘think with your feelings’ or ‘think with your heart’ and be aware of your own sensitivity & boundary issues. It may be time to reestablish that on some level so that you are clear and capable of discerning whether it is your own feelings & thoughts that you are picking up along the way, or someone else’s nearby. Either way, it’s always a good time to slow down to do your own inner process & self-reflection to make sure that you are not operating on auto-pilot when the current path is so changeable. The last thing I think this one is good for is conjuring up memories from the past or you may feel the Ancestors close by, so be sure to call in the loving, benevolent, WELL Ancestors if you are looking for a message or confirmation. It is time to be more caring and compassionate overall, but we don’t have to be push-overs either. It is time to ask what *FEEDS* you on the deeper levels, that which has perhaps only recently been revealed to your own conscious awareness.
7/24 • Mercury (ideas & thoughts) ~sextile~ Venus (art & beauty):
This moment presents a great opportunity to beautify your ideas & clarify your thoughts, refining and enriching them to resonate more authentically with your own unique essence. Relationships tend to bask in ease & harmonious communication under this influence. It gently directs your focus toward emotions, inspiring feelings of love & beauty which infuses your thoughts & ideas. It is a delicious phase to delve deeply into your own creativity or engage in activities that awaken your Inner Artist. You can opt for a light-hearted approach and momentarily release the weight of the usual burdens. Pleasure-seeking through activities like reading, strolling along the beach, enjoying a play or exploring a museum would enrich your week, if possible.
7/24 • Neptune (dreams & spirituality) ~sextile~ Pluto (purification & transformation):
(1 of 13: 7.24.2026 :: 9.16.2026 :: 6.28.2027 :: 10.16.2027 :: 6.8.2028 :: 11.7.2028
5.22.2029 :: 11.30.2029 :: 5.4.2030 :: 12.26.2030 :: 4.12.2031 :: 2.11.2032 :: 2.28.2032)
We are entering a rare & powerful window of evolution where two of the great collective forces: Neptune & Pluto, who are working together rather than against each other at this time and it is supporting us to transform on a soul level and dream up a new future. Neptune in Aries is awakening a new spiritual vision, while Pluto in Aquarius is transforming the collective story at the deepest levels. Together, they create a supportive bridge between what we dream is possible & what we are capable of becoming. Unlike the dramatic changes often associated with Pluto or the confusion sometimes linked to Neptune, this activation offers a more graceful path of transition. Change is still happening, but it is happening from the inside-out. It is subtle, gradual and often invisible while it is unfolding. Yet over time, it will reshape our beliefs, values, priorities and even our understanding of reality itself.
This is truly the ending of one era and the beginning of another. Humanity is collectively redefining what matters, what has meaning & what deserves our energy going forward. Neptune connects us to Spirit, imagination, possibility & the unseen realms, while Pluto facilitates purification, death & rebirth on a soul level. Together, they are helping us release outdated beliefs, inherited conditioning & old definitions of success so that something more authentic can emerge. The question becomes: Why did your Soul choose to incarnate during such a profound transition? What unique medicine, wisdom or contribution are you here to offer as the collective story evolves?
The most effective way to work with these energies personally is to focus on your own consciousness. Rather than trying to fix the world, tend to your own inner landscape. Examine your own beliefs & question your assumptions. Notice which stories you have inherited from family, culture or society and ask whether they still reflect your truth. Neptune reminds us that perception shapes reality, while Pluto asks us to confront the shadows hidden beneath those perceptions. This is an excellent time for meditation, journaling, therapy, mentorship, ancestral healing, spiritual practice or any process that helps you become more conscious of your own inner world. Clean your filters, strengthen your discernment & learn the difference between intuition & projection.
This is also a time to invest in your dreams, even if you cannot yet see how they will manifest. Neptune expands the vision while Pluto supports lasting transformation. Small choices made now can create profound results over the next 6-years. Pay attention to what inspires you, what calls to your heart & what continually captures your imagination. The future is being built through individual contributions, one person at a time. Your creative projects, healing work, spiritual development, community efforts & personal evolution all matter more than you realize.
The greatest caution with this energy is unconsciousness. Slow-moving collective energies can lull us into complacency, making it easy to accept beliefs, narratives or systems without questioning them. In the coming years, it will become increasingly important to think for yourself, cultivate critical discernment & maintain a direct connection to your own inner authority. Some changes will genuinely support human evolution while others may serve structures of control or fear. The difference will depend on your ability to stay awake, aware & connected to your own truth.
Ultimately, Neptune & Pluto are inviting us to become conscious co-creators of a new era. This is not a time to cling to the past or resist inevitable change. It is a time to release what is complete, trust the unfolding process & cultivate a deeper relationship with both Spirit & Soul. The changes occurring now may seem subtle, but they are laying the foundation for the next generation of human consciousness. What you nurture today, in your beliefs, your healing, dreams & purpose, will help shape the world that emerges tomorrow. Trust the process, stay curious, stay discerning & remember that the future is being built through the choices you make in your everyday life.
