July Update
Stardrops July 13 2025
July 12 Saturn turns retrograde
Saturn retrogrades can slow down business, or progress with particular projects and some goals you’re trying to reach. Personally, I use to see this happen much more decades ago, than recently…so I would not worry about it.
Saturn retrogrades tend to pull activities into a more focused tightly concentrated theme in our lives, where we simply can no longer ignore something.. When it begins to turn direct, we can feel the relief of a letting up from the restriction, the tension of feeling contained.
July 16-17 Mercury turns Retrograde at 15* Leo until August 11 and
Mercury retro July 16-19 Mercury sextiles Venus
Welcome to another Mercury retrograde! As usual, be on the lookout for inspirational guidance which brings you closer to some form of expansion of your heart, an increase of joy. Mercury guides you now by placing a vision, an idea or thought into your mind, repeatedly, of some experience you need, something which will increase your happiness and quality of life. When you notice what this is, write it down, and if it seems appropriate, do it!
July 9 – 15 – August 12th Saturn sextiles Pluto
The nature of Saturn’s functionality, facing reality and one’s responsibilities combined with Pluto, a pure resourceful determined will inspires. This is a crunch time energy where one needs supportive reliable commitments, conversations, ,agreements and serious plans to be locked down and concrete through this period. It has been building for a few weeks, and now we’re in the peak of this strong influence.
The positive constructive energies of Saturn (*and Neptune ) with many of the global issues talked about above, are finally brought into governmental nations’ policies. Cooperation and negotiation, support and formal exchange of facts and agreed upon solutions, respect for particular documents, implementing new policies, peace talks, arms talks, space talks, health environment issues, weather patterns and global magnetic shifts etc. This is one more positive cycle, yet a concrete set of agreements, rules, compliance set and respected.
July 10 – October 28 Uranus trine Pluto
Uranus in Gemini brings innovation, revolutionary honesty and liberation from the confines of oppressive and uncooperative situations, people or organizations. Uranus intensifies the consciousness within us to break free from oppression, whether it is external or other dimensional, or our own subconscious programming. There will be strong urges to break molds and challenge intimidating Pluto activities and people everywhere. Truth, transparency, objective insights and declarations of honest assessment to situations will be prominent in the world. Independence and unconventional revelations…a desire to innovate, do something new. The truth absolutely comes out.
June through August 23 Saturn conjoins Neptune
Actual entire length of this cycle is June 1 2025 – August 23, 2025 …continuing February 7, 2026 – March 4 2026
These cycle is quite unusual, peculiar – on the positive side, This conjunction can force onto the world, a wake up call regarding the truth. It may be a challenging yet necessary acceptance of the financial shifts coming, and a long period of adjustment. This cycle might also show us a revealing truth regarding other situations happening around the world, which are hard to digest, as Saturn/Neptune energies can trigger fear, worries, anxiety and the sense something undermining is going on within the world, that can not be completely discovered. It is difficult for exposure, revealed or recognized, but you sense it. Some arrangement, agreement, globally is being discussed, acted on.
An innocence or ignorance, inability to wrap one’s mind around so many activities which are psychologically hard to comprehend, is typically the issue with this conjunction. Yet, the conjunction is happening, because we NEED to open up and face the inevitable during this time. Saturn forces the reality to hit us, so we can take better care of ourselves and adjust to a new perspective of recognizing what we can not trust outside of ourselves, and need to count upon our own resources and common sense.
July 18 – 19 Sun square Chiron` A bit of a tense day for being touchy and burdened by anything which appears to challenge one’s way, one’s desire to count on things working out a particular way, but they might not work out after all.
July 19 – 21 Mars conjoins South Node
Mars intensifies and possibly aggravates anything related to work, stress, overwhelm, going back and re-doing things – discovering mistakes in previous projects. Watch for mechanical items to break, or the need to fix repair particular items, house issues, car or computer.
Malicious aggressive acts could attempt to sabotage crucial activities or equipment, facilities globally. Challenges with new testimonies surfacing which throws a huge wrench in the gears of the most recent neglect or dismissing of certain tragic issues going on in the world. People want justice now.
July 20-21 Venus squares Nodes Some social pressure, conflicts or bit of frustration might occur on these days.
July 20 – 25 Mars in Virgo squares Venus in Gemini This is a tense time, schedules are tight, any project or activity now has some pressure, possible irritability, frustrations or challenges. The energy of Mars can put a strain on social relationships, and also bring fatigue. Jobs are long, tedious and intense. Projects take more time and money than one realized. Take it easy on these days!
July 22 Sun enters Leo and sextiles Uranus The power of the Sun sextile Uranus can bring breakthroughs and congenial revelations. It is a positive energy creating movement, flow and cooperation between others. Anything needing fixed now, would be able to get resolved, as the sextile either provides a really smart person into the mix of the troubles, or it simply fixes itself, somehow!
July 23-24 Sun trine Saturn and Neptune Faith, resilience and a magical overshadowing energy can bring something to fruition which is like a dream.
July 23-25 Sun oppose Pluto Another tense moment with possible manipulation of energy interference where whatever you thought would go easy, could be met with challenges. Sometimes it just feels like the frequencies are off. It could also cause challenges with weather, interference quickly coming and then gone – and the Mars square Venus, the Mars conjoin the South Node, there is definitely something up on these days of the 23 – 25th. However, positive planetary positions with the Sun, Saturn, Neptune Uranus all help cut through and make it through nicely.
July 26 – August 11 – August 28 Saturn at 0-1* Aries sextiles Uranus at 0-1* Gemini
This cycle returns July 26 – August 5 2025, and again January 9 2026 – January 29 2026.
Uranus’ part in this sextile is focusing upon technology and how to create compliance, systems and order, implementing these technologies into society.. Saturn can create structure, formality, official decisions involving technology. The sextile causes a marrying of two things, something futuristic and advance, with a Saturnian structure, with rules and compliance, Saturn implies it must be functional.
Would it be AI, digital currencies into the mainstream, or gold-digital means of exchange, and the issue isn’t should we do but how to do it in the most successful way. With Uranus sextile involved, hopefully, it will introduce a higher format, independent from outside monitoring and personal control.
Groups, communities, agencies or organizations who are innovative, are heading up programs and new systems or structures to create advanced ways for people to experience options with nations’ money and personal banking.
August 2 – Aug 28 to November 20 2025 Uranus sextile Neptune
In the chart wheel below, you can see the positive array of planets, Saturn, Neptune, (and earlier in the year, North Node) all sextile Pluto and Uranus. And of course the Pluto is in a trine to Uranus.
This promises a transformational era for the world. It doesn’t promise the total elimination of problems, conflicts and corruption, but does offer conversations, agreements, collaboration and decisions based upon objective unified benefits if all parties work together, everyone wins. Uranus is the innovative new minds entering all arenas of leadership in the world, and Neptune is about social concerns, idealistic visions and all things related to psychological upliftment, medical, health, virus/genetic/labs, toxins, food and water contamination and tampering, plastics and poisons, preservatives and additives, etc…etc..
This cycle is a sextile which brings topics out into the open for discussion and change. Again, with Saturn/Neptune involved, it forces out secrets, hidden issues, and Saturn/Pluto would instigate new policies.
Exact August 11 – October 28 – Uranus trine Pluto
Is influencing us from August 1 2025 – January 1 2028; Returns slightly all 2028 – 2029.
This aspect from Uranus, always cuts us free from old outworn conditions of Plutonian corruption, old pacts, class conformity of hierarchical positions between Lords and Slaves. It cuts us free from old familiar conditions which have been oppressive in so many areas of life. It begins a purging process of transmuting old karma, past oppression and lifestyles we’ve evolved beyond, but they still hang on. It raises people up above and beyond their normal routines in life, what they’ve become used to, and could never imagine it’s ever going to change and be better.
Jul 28 Venus sextile Chiron This day has more healing, congeniality, support and compassion expressed. It’s good for honest conversations.
July 31 Sun conjoins Mercury at 9* Leo We wind up our Stardrops with a positive empowering brightness of the Sun in Leo being influenced by Mercury’s mind inspiration for adventure, joy, children, happiness and a sense of great confidence. You should feel more energized, excited and looking forward to an amazing day!
