This month is a game changer as we will be navigating the shifts of many planetary bodies. Letʻs start by looking at these dates!

• 7/7 ~ Uranus enters Gemini
• 7/8 ~ Venus in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius
• 7/10 ~ Full Moon in Capricorn
• 7/13 ~ Saturn stations retrograde
• 7/17 ~ Mercury stations retrograde in Leo

Uranus leaves earthy Taurus after seven years and enters air sign Gemini on Monday. New ideas and perhaps new friends? The liberating power of this transpersonal planet helps to create connection opportunities as long as the monkey mind does not get too active! Uranus will go retrograde by Sept. 5th and take one last dip into Taurus then remain in curious Gemini until 2032!

Then this Tuesday loving Venus makes a positive connection to powerful Pluto, both in air signs which can enhance necessary communications bringing clarity and depth to your relationships. By Thursday Mahina moon has reached her full blossom in Capricorn at 18 degrees. This sign is rules by Saturn, so things can feel a bit serious. If you have a hard challenge to face, this full moon supports your efforts. Full moon is a time to release what no longer serves. I often write and burn the paper to let it go! Themes may include: What rules or structures in your daily life are inhibiting you? What matters need your serious attention?

A few days later messenger mercury stations retrograde in fire sign Leo. During Mercuryʻs 3 week cycle take time to reflect on what brings you joy. Reconsider play as a necessary nutrient to remain heart centered during these challenging times in the world. Play the music you love and sink into some happy memories while Jupiter passes through water sign Cancer this year. The Mercury retrograde ends on August 10th just as Venus conjoins Jupiter in Cancer. Music as Medicine has been a deep part of my practice recently. I have an event at Ola Acupuncture Studio in Honokaʻa on August 1st to share astrology and medicine music and it is free! Contact me for details.  

Soon all the outer transpersonal planets affecting collective consciousness will be in retrograde. Pluto and Neptune are currently in this phase with Uranus joining on Sept. 5th. Practicing reflection as a spiritual practice can be helpful as we open to new possibilities of connection and understanding in our communities. Letʻs keep singing!

If you wish to further dive into how these shifts impact your own horoscope and life, I have an upcoming monthly transit class beginning on July 27th. This zoom course has been highly praised by those I have been mentoring these past few years. More details below.

This summer is full of amazing hibiscus flowers

May your days bring you joy as we also face our grief. 

We are so human and need one another. 

I would love to hear from you!
