Transiting Neptune stations retrograde
Tuesday, July 2, 2024, 10:40 UT, 29°55’ Pisces
Caveat: this may not have much of an effect on you personally, unless there is strong Neptune energy in your chart. Neptune should be closely aspecting the Sun, Moon, &/or an angle; prominent Pisces &/or 12th House energy also (the Sun, Moon, &/or an angle in Pisces, the Sun or Moon in the 12th House).
Notice that Neptune is almost done with Pisces - there are only 5’ of arc left before the next sign, Aries. Almost there but not quite! As my old band director used to say, “‘Almost’ only counts for horseshoes and hand grenades.”
(The actual first Neptune-Aries ingress moment is March 30, 2025, 11:44 UT. Nine months away.)
So, this is our last shot at a “pure” Neptune Rx in Pisces. It’s a good time to review the past dozen years’ worth of spiritual lessons. We ought to have prioritized our souls - sometimes that happens through religious practice or meditation, but sometimes it can be the creative process.
Spend the next five-ish months (until Neptune’s direct station on Dec. 7) reviewing the past dozen years. Think back to February 2012, when Neptune entered Pisces to stay for a while (after about a year of back-&-forth between Aquarius and Pisces). Based on what your natal Neptune is up to, how has this Neptune/Pisces gone? What have you learned?

neptune stations retrograde
neptune always can cause confusion, deception, etc but during the station into its retrograde, it is more likely to bring about these darker qualities it possesses. counteract it by amplifying the positive qualities of neptune in your life with intention; live in glamor, unconditional love, and the coy silence of a sphinx.

Full Moon on Arcturus Talon Abraxas There is a very potent Super Full Moon in Aries that squares Mars in Cancer on October 17th. This is the last and biggest Super Moon for 2024. It is noted that Aries is also ruled by Mars.
The Sun, Earth and Moon are so closely aligned that it is almost a Lunar Eclipse - the Earth’s shadow just misses the Moon. In transit it may feel like a mini-eclipse. This ‘almost Lunar Eclipse’ follows the partial Lunar Eclipse on the 18th September and the annular Solar Eclipse on the 3rd October.
Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter and Chiron are all stationed retrograde.
The Arcturus Gateway is open and peaking, as the Earth and our Sun come into alignment with the star Arcturus, which opens a powerful portal of Arcturian energy.
This Super Full Moon in Aries is bringing a powerful energy surge that will transform everything around us. This event is a cosmic turning point that will dismantle outdated systems and accelerate personal and global transformation like never before. It will influence manifestation and your spiritual growth
This Full Moon is all about courage, bold action and new beginnings. It amplifies the symphony of our emotions, rendering our sensitivity and intuition more acute. It encourages us to tap into our inner strength, confront what’s holding us back, and face challenges head on, transforming obstacles into growth opportunities.
Full Moons always illuminate what is hidden, bringing unresolved feelings to the surface for acknowledgment.
This Full Moon conjuncts retrograde Chiron in Aries. You may feel triggered by memories of your past.
Now is the time to release your fears, step into your power and ignite the inner warrior within you. Release deep emotional wounds/burdens. Trust your intuition. Be well grounded and hydrated. Tune in to your body’s needs and rest as required. Embark on a new journey of self-discovery and growth. Work through resistance and go with the flow. Get ready for a major shift and embrace the energy of change. -The Drakontas Connection

Energy Update: September 2024
Tumblr media
September is an “8” Universal Month [9 (September) + 8 (2024) = 17 = 1+7 = 8] in an “8” Universal Year. 8 months are represented by the infinity symbol and the ouroboros – they are everything, and nothing, all at once. Everything comes full circle in an 8 month, often represented by the highest highs and the lowest lows. What comes up must go down. But, alternatively, what goes does must come up. In this way, 8 months can be seen as a type of equalization. This is very in line with the astrology of the month, where we return, on an astrological level, to what has gone before – in more than one case, for the last time. This will be a month to revisit unfinished business.
The Set Up
We begin the month with the Sun in Virgo, Mercury moving through its post-retrograde shadow in Leo, Venus in Libra, Mars and Jupiter in Gemini, retrograde Saturn and retrograde Neptune in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, and Pluto just barely in Aquarius. By month’s end, the Sun and Mercury will have entered Libra, Venus will have moved into Scorpio, Mars into Cancer, and Pluto backward into Capricorn.
The Nitty Gritty
Everything comes full circle this month as we enter our first “8” themed month in our “8” themed year. This may feel like a homecoming for some, but for others, it will be a roller coaster ride straight into unfinished business. If the feeling of the year has been “change before you have to,” this is your astrological reminder that we are approaching eclipse season, which always strongly emphasizes the HAVE To side of that equation. Not only will we be experiencing a lunar eclipse, but we will also see all of our personal planets change signs and Pluto transition back into Capricorn for the very last time. The world is shifting again, and we may need to find that solid ground will be difficult to come by in the weeks ahead.
Pluto
This year has been colored by Pluto, our dwarf planet of death, change, and transformation, which has been slowly transitioning from the cardinal earth sign Capricorn (where it has been sitting for the last 15 years) into the fixed air sign of Aquarius. Our outer planets move very slowly and dictate the overarching feeling of the times; their transitions from one sign to another generally coincide with intense societal changes and times of turmoil and transformation. On the 1st, Pluto moves back into Capricorn for the very last time.
Pluto plays the long game. Like its namesake, it slowly degrades the area of life it touches. In Capricorn, Pluto has been breaking down our outdated systems of government and institutions. Pluto is a cosmic reminder that all things must die in their time so that something new can be born in its place. We are experiencing the final death throws of what was – but it won’t be pretty. Like all earth signs, Capricorn can get exceedingly stuck in its ways, and it often takes more than one quake to shake things loose.
Because this happens on the first, the energy of Pluto entering Capricorn from the back end will set the tone for the entire month. You may feel like you are regressing in some way in your life. A situation may arise that you thought was taken care of. This will be strongest felt by those with personal planets around 00° in the earth or cardinal signs. Where Aquarius rules innovation and the future, Capricorn rules the past and tradition; society may take a step or two back away from progressive measures or future-focused thinking.
The good news is that this Pluto in Capricorn retrograde won’t last long. Pluto will station direct in October and reenter Aquarius for the final time (for the next 248 years) on 11/19/24. The 80 days in between may be quite challenging, though. Something may need to change – inside your life and in the world. It’s decision time. The big flex throughout September (and into October and November) will be to let go of what needs to leave your life.
Our Lights: the Sun and the Moon
Our Sun will be in Virgo and Libra all month long, which means that this month marks the transition from Summer (Virgo) to Autumn (Libra) on 9/22. Also, because our lunar nodes will remain on the Aries-Libra axis through the new year, we are entering our second eclipse season. The Sun in Virgo will oppose retrograde Saturn in Pisces on Sunday, 9/8, which may show up in our lives as a check-in with our goals and what we must do to stay in alignment. Remember, we are in an “8” month in an “8” year, so things may feel all over the place at times – it’s okay, now come back to the center.
Virgo season tends to be about cleaning up, physically and metaphorically. The summer is drawing to a close, and it is time to prepare for the new season. As mentioned above, this whole year has been about endings and the hint of new beginnings (represented by Pluto’s planetary movements), and it may feel like we are down to the wire. This month’s big flex will be to take the new moon on 9/2 to clean up what you can and then let the lunar eclipse on 9/17 take you where it’s going to.
Our new moon on 9/2 is at 11° Virgo and is a 3/2 new moon.
6 (Virgo Moon) + 6 (Virgo Sun) = 12 = 1+2 = 3. 3 (Virgo New Moon) + 8 (September 2024) = 11 = 1+1 = 2.
The new moon is relatively unaspected, so we look back again to the numerology. Notably, the new moon carries “11” energy twice over; first, it falls in the 11th degree of Virgo, and, secondly, it is an 11/2 new moon. This is one of three Master Numbers in numerology – it heightens the energy of the final number (2). The number 2 is one of movement and connections – with the number 2, you are either adding (1+1=2) or subtracting (2-1=1). Through this, we can infer that this is a new moon that will get things moving.
Remember, Virgo is a sign of refinement. As the second of our two Mercury-ruled signs, Virgo lives in the mind, but rather than being the Idea Man (Gemini, nongendered), Mercury begins the work of perfecting and honing down in Virgo. This can feel like criticism (especially if you don’t have Virgo in your natal chart), so stay aware of touchiness in yourself and others around the new moon. Clean it up. Fix it up. Do what you’ve been putting off. Future-proof your life. Virgo’s new moon energy has a lot in common with the energy of Mercury retrograde, but it will pass far more quickly.
The Sun in Virgo will square off with Jupiter in Gemini around 9/12, which may feel unlucky but is, more likely than not, simply a bit challenging. Remember, Virgo is LOOKING to refine. That challenge is there so that you will better understand what you have to do.
Our lunar eclipse on Tuesday, 9/17, will be at 25° Pisces and is a 9/8 full moon.
12 (Pisces Moon) + 6 (Virgo Sun) = 18 = 1+8 = 9. 9 (Pisces full moon) + 8 (September 2024) = 17 = 1+7 = 8.
This is the real deal (even by Eclipse standards) due to a couple of major planetary aspects happening around the 17th, most notably Mars in Cancer forming a rough cardinal square with our lunar nodes in Aries and Libra.
But wait, Minx – how come the lunar nodes are in Aries and Libra, but the eclipsed moon is in Pisces? This is our first indication that our lunar nodes are reaching the end of their stay in their current signs. The lunar nodes are sitting at 06° and will move on to the Pisces-Virgo axis early in 2025. While this switch happens, we often see off-element eclipses that fall in the “wrong signs.” In this way, we can use this early Pisces lunar eclipse as a bit of an augury of what will come in the three years ahead when the lunar nodes transit Pisces and Virgo.
The eclipse won’t be close to the lunar nodes (11°), but Mars will be in a tight t-square, so expect tensions to be high. This is undoubtedly red-flag weather, so lie low and stay out of the arena if possible. When Mars is poorly aspected, the chance of violence goes up. We are also experiencing two strong oppositions on either side of the eclipse – Venus in Libra will oppose Chiron on Monday, 9/16, and Mercury in Virgo will oppose retrograde Saturn on Wednesday, 9/18. Note that all three of our personal planets are involved in the days around this eclipse – it will feel personal for most of us.
Standard eclipse advice applies here: Eclipses (like the sign of Virgo) tend to be a hit of instant alignment. The lunar nodes can be viewed as an arrow in the sky pointing from the South Node and towards the North. In our natal birth charts, the nodes show the natural flow of energy in our lives, and in the transits, they show the natural flow of energy happening at the time of the transit. Age-old astrological advice is to TRUST what happens on the days of the eclipses and, to a lesser degree, on the days between the set of eclipses, which dictates the “season.” Eclipses have a way of opening some doors and closing others. I’ll write more about the eclipse as we approach this lunar event.
Mercury
Mercury has finally exited its retrograde at the end of August and will chug its way quickly through the last bit of Leo, through Virgo, and into Libra by the end of the month. Virgo is the sign of Mercury’s domicile, so 9/9 to 9/26 will be an excellent time for all Mercurial pursuits (writing/language/technology/travel).
Keep in mind that before we get there, Mercury still needs to retrace the last dregs of its post-retrograde shadow. This includes the third of its trines with Chiron in Aries on 9/2 (the day of the new moon) – this could bring up some touchy bits from our total lunar eclipse back in April, which included a conjunction with both Mercury and Chiron not far from the spot where Chiron still sits in Aries today. Chiron spots can feel very touchy if you aren’t used to them (see also: don’t have a strong Chiron element in your birth chart or haven’t undergone a serious Chiron transit). A good way of looking at it is that the pain is there to show us what isn’t working so we can fix it. Again, this will be a month of refinement.
Mercury exits its post-retrograde shadow at 04° Virgo on 9/11 and doesn’t make any other aspects until it opposes retrograde Saturn in Pisces on 9/18. This is our planetary check-in or check-up. As mentioned in the section about our Luminaries, this happens a day after our lunar eclipse, so it may serve as the cosmic right time to take stock of what has happened and what we can do about it. Mercury in Virgo is very proactive, and Saturn wants us to be our best selves – we CAN use this opposition to our advantage even if, on the outside, it doesn’t seem advantageous.
Mercury squares off with Jupiter in Gemini on 9/22, making for a tense day of many misunderstandings. You may wake up the next morning to realize those mountains were mere molehills. Don’t take things too seriously, and it will pass quickly.
As Mercury moves towards its ingress into Libra on 9/26, they will trine Uranus in Taurus, oppose Neptune in Pisces, and trine Pluto in Capricorn – this is business as usual and will probably pass unnoticed.
Once Mercury enters Libra, they will meet up with the Sun and the South Node in an early stellium, which may illuminate (the Sun) new ways of thinking (Mercury) about our past (South Node). We are deep in eclipse season and should meet the last days of September with our eyes wide open.
Venus
Venus will be in the sign of her domicile, Libra, until 9/22, when she enters Scorpio, the sign of her detriment. In Libra, Venus can be entirely consumed with the ideals of traditional relationship roles, and in Scorpio, she turns her eyes towards secrets and – in the worst-case scenario – revenge! The first half of the month strongly supports relationships (at least the easily codified and societally acceptable ones), but things are not always what they seem with Venus. Keep in mind that Venus in Libra can sometimes be a bit controlling – especially regarding how she wants her relationship to appear. As Venus enters Scorpio, she can quickly become the scorned lover – even if she hasn’t actually been scorned!
In Libra, Venus can become so obsessed with her ideal of a relationship that she refuses to look at reality. This may come to a head on 9/4 as she meets up in conjunction with the South Node at 06° Libra. Relationships of all kinds will be on the chopping block that week, but most significantly, those that aren’t built on mutual support and understanding. Our lunar nodes on the Aries-Libra axis have been forcing us all to confront our personal biases around Independence versus Togetherness, and this time may be especially fraught for couples with different needs on this spectrum.
On 9/15, Venus trines Jupiter in Gemini, which is a good day to have a good day. On 9/16, she opposes Chiron in Aries, which might be a wake-up call to where we live in excess or otherwise outside our means or comfort zones. We may have to pay for the overindulgences of the day prior. She will trine Pluto in Capricorn right before she enters Scorpio, a reminder that we can’t always carry our past into the future.
While she is in Scorpio, we have to remember to watch our tongues and keep a check on our revenge fantasies. If the person did you wrong, fine, but if your own expectations just hurt you, you may need to check yourself through the end of the month.
Mars
Mars spends most of the month in Cancer, the sign of its fall. That means from 9/22 to 9/30, both of our relationship planets will be in uncomfortable positions. It’s worth noting that Mars will be in the sign of its fall earlier in the month, while Venus will be in her domicile.
Relationships may be tense all month long. Mars in Cancer is naturally square to Venus in Libra. Though the two won’t meet up in exact aspect with one another here, it still shows that partners in any given relationship may not see eye to eye with one another (regardless of gender). Mars will be better aligned with Venus in Scorpio, but neither is a peaceful or kind placement for relationship continuity. Just be aware and stay aware all month long. People, in general, are likely to be moody and a touch emotionally manipulative.
This spark exists all month long, and when Mars in Cancer forms a cardinal t-square in the skies as we enter eclipse season, we add the fuel. The problem that Mars in Cancer has is that Cancer’s natural motis apprendi is to move in a sideways direction (like its namesake, the crab), which often appears to be subversive or manipulative to others. Aries is all forward motion and wants nothing to do with this sidestepping, and Libra can tolerate it, but it’s not quite their way, either. This is a battle of the Cardinal Giants, and of any of the modalities, cardinal signs are the ones that don’t back down.
Mars is our problem child of the month; emphasis on the term child here. Mars in Cancer can be at his most petulant – throwing a full-on “Don’t tell me what to do! Don’t tell me what to do! Don’t tell me what to do!” temper tantrum because he didn’t get his way. Whatever comes up for us during this upcoming eclipse season, Mars is not going to like it. Not one bit.
Mars never likes giving up control, that’s for sure. It’s worth noting that we are working our way towards a Mars retrograde in Leo in December. You could say that the pumps are getting primed for a very real meltdown yet to come.
At the end of the month, on 9/30, Mars trines retrograde Saturn in Pisces, which is yet another cosmic check-up on ourselves to round out the month. We end the month in the middle of an eclipse season that spans the line between Aries-Libra and Pisces-Virgo, which means that from a lunar nodal perspective, we are about to pass from sign 1 back into sign 12. This mimics the energy of Pluto reentering Capricorn for one last stay. As above, so below.
The month ends much as it begins. The double loop of the 8 always completes itself.
Looking Ahead
October is Libra and Scorpio season. We will have an eclipsed new moon in Libra and a full moon in Aries later in the month. Jupiter will station retrograde, and Neptune will station direct. Once eclipse season ends, we will have a bit of a reprieve until Mars enters Leo in November.
The Details

Astrology observations #1
In love Scorpio Mars can be obsessive about their partners to the point that they can’t focus on anything else. Cancer is the most difficult sign to have in Mars.
Having a north node opposite ascendant transit can mean you will meet important people in your life. A 1H stellium means that you will appear selfish to others.
A person with venus sextile Neptune can make them blind in love.
If someone has Saturn retrograde in natal chart they should check their progressed chart to see if it will station direct or not in their lifetime.
Having progressed moon conjunct venus mean you can meet your perfect lover.

astro notes: daily transits 8/4
Sunday marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle with the Sun and Moon aligning in Leo. This New Moon is accompanied by supportive sextiles to Mars and Jupiter, suggesting a month filled with new and exciting activities. However, the day also presents potential challenges with a Venus–Neptune quincunx and a Mars–Eris semi-square, which may cause confusion and irritability. Venus's ingress into Virgo and Mercury stationing retrograde add layers of caution and critical assessment to the day's energies.
Key Influences New Moon in Leo (4:12 a.m.):
New Beginnings: The alignment of the Sun and Moon at 12°34' Leo initiates a fresh lunar cycle. This New Moon encourages bold, creative, and expressive new beginnings. It’s a time to set intentions that align with personal passions and desires.
Sextiles from the New Moon to Mars and Jupiter (Gemini):Dynamic Activities: The supportive sextiles from the New Moon to Mars and Jupiter in Gemini indicate a month filled with engaging and stimulating activities. These aspects enhance energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of adventure.
Venus–Neptune Quincunx (29°38' Leo–Pisces):Relationship and Financial Confusion: This aspect suggests potential confusion or misjudgment in relationships or financial matters. It may be challenging to see things clearly, leading to possible misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations.
Mars–Eris Semi-square:Irritability and Autonomy Issues: The semi-square between Mars and Eris can lead to irritation and frustration, especially if one's independence or autonomy feels restricted. This aspect may trigger conflicts or rebellious behavior.
Venus Ingress into Virgo (7:22 p.m.):Critical Assessment: As Venus moves into Virgo, there is a shift towards a more analytical and detail-oriented approach in matters of love and finance. This transit favors practical and precise evaluations.
Mercury Stationing Retrograde in Virgo (9:55 p.m.):Caution and Review: Mercury turning retrograde in Virgo calls for meticulous attention to detail and a thorough review of all decisions and communications. This retrograde period, lasting until August 28, emphasizes the need to double-check all details and avoid hasty decisions.
Integrating the Influences
Setting Intentions:Bold and Creative: Use the New Moon in Leo to set bold and creative intentions. Focus on areas of life where you want to express your true self and pursue your passions with confidence.
Engaging in New Activities:Dynamic and Enthusiastic: The sextiles to Mars and Jupiter support engaging in new activities that stimulate the mind and body. This is a good time to explore new interests and embrace opportunities for growth and adventure.
Navigating Confusion:Clarity in Relationships and Finances: With the Venus–Neptune quincunx, take extra care to ensure clarity in relationships and financial decisions. Avoid making any significant commitments until you have all the necessary information.
Managing Irritability:Maintain Autonomy: Be mindful of the Mars–Eris semi-square, which can cause irritability and conflict. Ensure that you maintain a sense of autonomy and respect others' independence to minimize friction.
Critical Evaluation:Practical and Precise: As Venus enters Virgo, adopt a practical and analytical approach in matters of the heart and finances. Use this time to refine your plans and pay attention to the finer details.
Double-Checking Details:Cautious Communication: With Mercury stationing retrograde, double-check all communications and details. This period calls for careful review and patience in making decisions.
Practical Applications
Morning Intentions:Creative Goals: Set your intentions for the lunar cycle in the morning. Focus on creative projects and personal goals that reflect your true desires.
Afternoon Activities:Explore New Interests: Engage in activities that excite you and offer new experiences. Use the supportive energy of Mars and Jupiter to explore and learn.
Evening Review:Assess and Plan: In the evening, take time to critically assess any plans or decisions, especially those related to relationships and finances. Ensure that you have all the facts before moving forward.
Ongoing Communication:Mindful Interactions: Throughout the day and the retrograde period, be mindful of how you communicate. Take extra care to avoid misunderstandings and ensure clarity in all interactions.

Astro observations: celebrity edition part 2 aka latest news roundup
⭐️ Dua Lipa announced on her instagram that she's actually a Gemini rising as opposed to Libra. Now my Gemini detector told me that ages ago but I accepted the Libra rising just because it's my default token "plain good looking and polite" sign BUT it actually now makes much more sense in terms of house placements. Her Venus is now cazimi in the 3rd house - house associated with creative writing and thinking. The ever-changing and fast-moving Mercury is now in her 4th house of family and home situation and she's actually been always moving a lot between England and Albania. That healthy domicile Mercury as well as the Sun-Venus conjunction in the 3rd shows her close connection to family overall.
Funnily enough, her discovery took place during Mercury station in her 4th house. Talk about finding out your true roots (astrological, in that instance).
⭐️ We also now have the birth time of Elon Musk, who turns out to be a Cancer rising. Jupiter in his 5th house of children now makes perfect sense with his 11 kids (and probably counting).
⭐️ If you're wondering why Ariana Grande is the way she is, look no further than Moon conjunct Jupiter - aka her 7th house ruler multiply; as well as both being square to the Sun. Usually Sun square Jupiter can point to legal issues and excess while Sun square Moon often points to broken families. Now add that together and you have… a homewrecker, yaaay!
⭐️ I was thinking a lot about Blink 182 and Tom Delonge (his chart resembles mine a bit) due to him rejoining the band last year and now releasing a new Blink album. Natally, he has a retrograde Gemini Mars so I looked at his progressed chart to see the stationary period. Turns out his progressed Mars stationed direct early 2014, followed by progressed Sun entering Aquarius. Early following year the band announced that he left permanently. One of the things he focused on was research on the UFOs and work with the government. Of course, keep in mind progressed Mars stations for quite a while and his issues with the band lasted throughout the whole 2014 so it makes sense that the final split occured a year later. And why Mars? Well it can literally speak about our focus in life and our direction - where we put our energy. Not to mention Mars rules his MC so it brought him a massive turn in his career. So makes sense.
⭐️ Britney Spears just released a memoir book. Putting aside the questionable fact on who really wrote it, it stirred up a lot of drama. Her chart is one big mine but today I'm only focusing on current transits: she just had an eclipse in her first house of Libra. That eclipse landed right on her Pluto, which natally squares Venus (talking about toxic relationships and exposing them). Pluto itself is making last hits to those degrees as well as it's stationing direct in the late Capricorn. Interestingly I think Jupiter being in her 8th house can point to this as well - it lights up all the secrets and talks about working on past traumas. Now, you're also probably thinking, why was she involved with so many iffy people in her life? A lot of things in her chart point to that but what always struck me was her 7th house ruler - a malefic Mars - being in her 12th house of enemies. And it squares Neptune so they're also liars and exploiters.
⭐️ There's been A TON of celebrity breakups during this Venus retrograde season but I'm gonna quickly focus on Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner because their charts are an interesting example. Their synastry is mostly having planets in sister signs but this also means that if one of them gets hit with a transit, so is the other. Involve Saturn in that transit and you get trouble. Saturn is currently in early Pisces, where Sophie has some of her planets in the 12th house (loss, enemies). Her Mars (disputes, cutting) is at 4° of Pisces while Joe's Mars is at 7° Virgo - right opposite that. Saturn transit stirred up some proper drama: and Saturn is also coldness, being restrained and cut off. On top of that they also have their rising signs in the opposite signs of Aries and Libra and we just started having eclipses in those signs earlier this year.
Not to mention Joe's Leo Sun got hit by Venus retrograde and a Uranus square. Among other stuff.
FUN FACT: according to my research they met for the first time in October of 2016 when Jupiter was in Libra. So, interestingly, not only they had Jupiter going through their angles but Jupiter in their Davidson chart is in Libra.
⭐️ Taylor Swift is currently going through her 10th house profection year (Leo). It would make sense then that her career would take a turn this year considering that Venus was retrograding in Leo. Of course as it turned out she had a massive succes with her ongoing world tour, which is said to become the highest grossing tour of all time.
⭐️ A Vogue article popped up about Rita Ora's and Taika Waititi's wedding that took place a year earlier (they kept all the info and date private until now). Jupiter played a huge role in them getting married (as it often does, especially for a couple like them, who have it strong in their charts, which I wrote about HERE). At the time of their wedding Jupiter was at 8° Aries, which for Rita is that sweet spot between her Sagittarius Sun and Venus (4° and 10° respectively) and Leo Jupiter (13°) - as it completed a grand trine in her chart. Transiting Sun was also 12° of Leo, highlighting that trine even more.
Man I love astrology.
For Taika it was pretty prominent as well although his Jupiter aspects were more sign-based. He had a Jupiter return; his Moon is somewhere in the middle of Sagittarius so he received these fire trines as well. Interestingly, at the time of the wedding Saturn was at 22° Aquarius - exactly opposite his Leo Sun but also sextile his natal Jupiter. So for him it had a bit of a Saturnian flavour that called for stability and maturity.
⭐️ Similarly, I just read the other day that Frances Bean Cobain got married earlier this month. She has a Venus-Jupiter conjunction on top of her Virgo ascendant (interestingly Kurt had the trine between Venus and Jupiter - so seems like a family pattern). Also interestingly, transiting Jupiter is currently trining both her Venus and Jupiter (on the day of the wedding it was trining Venus exact), thereby her natal pattern got repeated. Jupiter is also her 7th house ruler.
Her now husband, Riley Hawk is having a nice transit of that Jupiter over his Taurus Moon - and remember, Moon rules the women in your family as well as your wife.

What is Mercury Retrograde? Backup your harddrives or better yet just dont TOUCH your laptop and decide to sync your itunes/backup your photos unless you want them to have an awful death on your hands. It ain't pretty.
Three to four times a year the planet mercury appears to travel backward across the sky. How does it affect us?
Delays, hesitations, things breaking down or exhaustion of energy.
[Connect with friends] __________________________________________________________
Venus Retrograde:
A situation that takes place every 18 months, how does that affect us?
May be feeling more reclusive and prone to miscommunication while fears around love and intimacy may arise.
[Heal any relationship issues] ___________________________________________________________
Mars Retrograde 
About every 26 months, earth comes up behind and overtakes mars/
Dulling effect on motivation, leading to reduced vitality and lethargy.
[Get into an exercise routine]
_____________________________________________________________
Jupiter Retrograde:
An optical illusion, appearing to spin backward for four months.
This ones a good one [weirdly enough] it makes you strong, likely to attain paternal wealth, not face any poverty in any form.
[Travel to a favourite place] __________________________________________________________
Saturn Retrograde: 
Appears to move backward within the sign from our vantage point on earth, the diff in speed or revolutions create an illusion the planet isnt slowing down.
Given a reprieve from the typical saturn transits, which may include pressure and a sensation of burden, fear or frustration.
[Practise self-discipline] ___________________________________________________________
Uranus Retrograde : appears to move backward, stations retrograde once every year
More tempered and inverted, transform your world instead of changing the world around you. Encourage YOU to do the changing.
[Study up on current events] ___________________________________________________________
Neptune Retrograde: 
Intuition is hard to engage, making us believe things that arent real, time when you get lost in a fog, emotions, visions. In a wild dream with no end.
[Cut the energy vampires out of your life] __________________________________________________________
Pluto Retrograde:
 Is a backward spin through the underworld. A reclamation of our shadow. Invitation to commune with parts of ourselves we have yet to accept.
Shift the foundations of your relationships, prompting a deep reassessment of what you want to commit yourself to. A reminder to love yourself first. 
[Feng Shui + Declutter your spaces.]

March 25th, 3AM EST, Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
The upcoming Full moon lunar eclipse is taking place March 25th 3am est.
Welcome eclipse season! This full moon is in the zodiac sign of Libra. With major themes centered around collective empowerment, financial reallocation and holy blessings.
Mars is stationed 1° in the zodiac sign of Pisces, denoting a time of dreaminess, confusion and hidden secret motives. With this energy piloting the Sun, there's a lot of spiritual understanding and epiphany going on this full moon. We're going to be having a lot more psychic understanding of our destinies And realities and may even experience spiritual visions, visitations or other happenings of a supernatural nature. Not only is the sun's ruler stationed in Pisces, the sun himself is loosely conjunct Neptune. Pay close attention to your dreams during this full moon as they actually will have messages for you.
On a world stage level, we can expect lots of moisture and condensation on and around this full moon, and for some it maybe is extreme as flooding.
All this spiritual energy is undergirded by Jupiter in Taurus. This denotes a major Reformation and revolution surrounding how we interact with financial institutions in their relation to religion, and religious institutions in their relation to the environment and our values. This moon is going to be calling many of us back to seeking faith in a tangible and real way. With Saturn transiting through Pisces, religion, spiritual institutions then faith have been in the wringer, however are going to be slightly alleviated during this time with harmonious aspects between Jupiter and Saturn.
Big wins for environmentalism on government reform with Ceres in Capricorn trine Jupiter in Taurus. This shows major changes in dietary issues, rectification of impoverishment and starvation and an influx of food and nourishment as well.
We're going to be clearly seeing our values collectively with Venus exalted conjunct Saturn and sextile Jupiter. This configuration is deeply positive and points to some uplifting and helpful changes surrounding religious issues, hierarchical systems and how they interact with our values. And on a personal level speak to the development of sweetness in our relationship with spirituality, are collective and our values. Some of us may be developing deeper relationships during this time, learning how to cherish solitude or even deepening our faith.
Venus has been conjunct Saturn, and despite Saturn being malefic, Venus and Saturn are allies, so this energy is actually refined and we're going to be craving love and romance that is mature and in alignment with our souls path.
Collectively, we can expect significant legal proceedings to take place during this lunar cycle with the Libra full moon and Pallas Athene Square Mars, Venus and Saturn, major instances of injustice are going to be brought to light which will be quickly rectified when she goes retrograde on the 30th of March. These injustices are surrounding places people and things deeply connected to religion and belief. Similarly, we can expect issues in the world of sports and athletics to come to light particularly water sports.
There's an overall positive energy to this eclipse cycle, it has a momentous and progressive quality that speaks to massive change. However, you can't have change without unrest. We can expect this full moon to come with societal unrest, protests and major issues with government polity and control. This feels like a victory for the collective and like change for the better.
Tarot Cards: 9 of cups, 6 of cups, 3 of cups, 6 of swords- Major themes of wish fulfillment, celebration, and overarching sweetness. We have the numbers 369, these numbers in some metaphysical circles in the west are considered master manifestation numbers. We're leaving things behind collectively and coming into a type of abundance after going through a very difficult time. However, this marks the beginning of a new difficult cycle but one that will yield rich fruit.
Workings for this full moon:
Money
Transformation
Love/lust
Domination
Justice work

July 2024 Important Dates
Tumblr media
AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's July Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We're going into this month right off of Saturn stationing retrograde on June 29th, and Neptune following suit on July 2nd.
June Recap: June was heavily influenced by the activity in Gemini, including a Venus cazimi and a stellium with other fast planets. The second half of the month felt heavy influence from Saturn finally getting within conjunction distance (10 degrees) of Neptune in Pisces. Right after the Venus cazimi on June 3rd, Claudia Sheinbaum was elected president of Mexico. Aside from Venus's association with women, the indigenous astrology of Mexico is also based on Venus cazimi cycles. Another Venus story is the launch of the Boeing Starliner--last month our hosts looked at the electional chart for its planned launch and noted that Mercury conjunct Uranus boded ill--and indeed an electrical problem caused them to postpone the launch until June 5th, when the Moon was in Gemini (with 4 other planets). However, with a Leo rising its chart ruler the Sun was separating from Venus and approaching a square with Saturn, and indeed there have been delays with bringing the astronauts back.
On the day of the Mars-Pluto square Hunter Biden was convicted on gun charges. A similar Mars transit showed up in politics with Donald Trump's conviction in May: Trump was convicted with Mars squaring his natal Saturn (ruler of the year for him), in the 9th and 12th houses respectively, fitting for a trial (9th house) over keeping secrets (12th house). There was also a Mercury-Uranus conjunction on his Midheaven (sudden development in public life), and on the July 11th, the day of his sentencing, the Mars-Uranus conjunction will be on his Midheaven. In Hunter Biden's case, Mars conjoined his natal Saturn, when he was convicted of illegally buying guns while under the influence. Saturn was also transiting his Midheaven, and with the North Node there natally it can indicate ill or shadowy reputation (A/N: in Pisces it also fits that he's known for his excessive drug use).
The second half of the month was dominated by a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces. A new AI video generator was released and saw an explosion of use, including animating still images. It's becoming increasingly difficult to determine what's real and what's an illusion--though in June with many planets in Gemini, we saw a lot of play with this technology.
The final news story this month is the US presidential debate, which occurred within 24 hours of Saturn stationing retrograde in Pisces--a debate between the two oldest presidential candidates in US history. Biden did horribly during the debate, and Saturn's subsequent station occurred right on Biden's Imum Coeli; during the debate the Moon was conjunct Saturn as both approached this point. At the same time, Uranus was transiting Trump's Midheaven while sextiling his natal Venus (ruler of his 10th house), and he did unexpectedly well in this debate for someone who doesn't care about telling the truth in public speaking. With Saturn generally, this debate has risen pressing questions around age and fitness for public office. Speaking of debate timings, Ronald Reagan's astrologer Joan Quigley would schedule debates for times that were good for Reagan and bad for Carter...and indeed this debate is scheduled unusually--it's much earlier than usual. The next debate is scheduled for the Pisces eclipse in September, in Biden's 4th house/Kamala's 10th house (A/N: Trump's 8th; not angular). Back in the year ahead forecast, Chris said there were three big factors in favor of Trump and one in Biden's favor: that eclipse in an angular house. However, the 4th house is also associated with endings (due to being located underground), and considering recent events, could bode ill for the aged president. (A/N: there's also speculation that Biden was experiencing a dementia symptom known as "sundowning" during the debate, and the 4th house is located deepest beneath the earth)
July Forecast:
The main energies this month will be Saturn-Neptune in Pisces as both planets station early in the month, Mars conjoining Uranus, the Capricorn Full Moon in the 21st, and Mercury-Mars tensions as they almost reach a square.
July 2nd - Neptune Retrograde, Mercury enters Leo Neptune-Saturn confusion has been present for us for a week or so already. We're having a difficult time predicting what events mean for the future. Other significations are the line between illusions and reality, idealism vs. limitations, disillusionment or disappointment when dreams collapse, confusion, fatigue or sapping of one's emotional energy, lack of mental acuity, side effects of age leaving to lack of clarity or focus. Whatever age you're at, you may feel the physical effects catching up to you as the conjunction approaches. Austin brings up that superhero movies have just about run their course (Iron Man was released in 2011 as Neptune first entered the sign), and now we're collectively tired of imagining this genre as Neptune gets within 4 minutes of the next sign. Saturn nearby adds an extra level of negation. With AI tools, boundaries are dissolved and new methods for creativity are being introduced as we gear up for Neptune/Saturn in Aries--expect to see new genres. Other Saturn-Neptune keywords include escapism, addiction, sensitivity and compassion. Chris also notes seeing tensions between science and religion or skepticism and belief: large numbers of people, including conservative influencers, are converting to Christianity at the same time as scientific skepticism rises--and astrologers may find ourselves on the negative end of both. Anyone with significant placements at 27-29 Pisces or other mutable signs should pay attention. A Neptune-Mercury trine softens communications; it's a good time for heartfelt conversations.
As soon as Mercury enters Leo it puts him in opposition distance to Pluto, foreshadowing the rest of the inner planets doing so later this month. Paranoia, power plays, and manipulation abound, though investigative journalism and hidden truths can come to light. However, Mercury moves closely into a happy sextile with Jupiter soon after.
July 2nd - Selected Elections for the month (not pictured) This month Chris has two elections, both on the 2nd, to try and take advantage of the Jupiter-Moon conjunction before Mars and Uranus start to complicate things.
Tumblr media
The first chart is at about 1:00PM local time so that the Ascendant trines Jupiter in the 9th house, the Moon is applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, and the Ascendant ruler Venus in Cancer is in the 10th house, forming a trine with Saturn. The flowing, nurturing energy in Cancer and Pisces is highlighted in this chart (see New Moon for more). The downside is that you bake the Mercury-Pluto opposition into things, so beware of paranoia in communications.
The other variant of this chart is later in the day with Sagittarius rising:
Tumblr media
At about 5:30PM local time, this gives you Jupiter in the whole sign 7th house in a day chart with the Moon still applying to a conjunction. This one is oriented more towards other people. These are much different than the electional charts earlier this year where he encouraged us to take advantage of the stellia; now we're entering more challenging territory.
July 5th - New Moon in Cancer
Tumblr media
Both luminaries (14♋) apply to a trine with Saturn (19♓) soon after, while Venus (22♋) is within a loose conjunction of them in Cancer. Meanwhile, Mercury (5♌) sextiles Jupiter (9♊) in Gemini with reception (Jupiter is in Mercury's sign). Saturn's trine is constructive, helping us figure out how to work within our limitations and distribute our burdens more evenly. With Venus and Cancer there brings a connotation of caring for and nurturing something that can't survive without you like a child, pet, or house plant. And with care, duty is not far behind. Think sweet and compassionate. Mercury sextile Jupiter on the 8th will continue some of these good vibes for us.
July 11th - Venus enters Leo Venus is getting further from the Sun and begins to rise more and more visibly as the month progresses. When she's fully out from under the beams, we can finally see the results of work that was hidden while she was close to the Sun. We'll also see a return of themes from the Venus retrograde in Leo last year, but it's different for two reasons: 1) Venus is traveling direct and very fast through the sign, and 2) Pluto in Aquarius opposes her immediately upon ingress on the 11th-12th. Venus in Leo's fun-in-the-sun vibe is marred by shadow for the first few days. Significations include interpersonal paranoia, power plays in relationships and (my addition:) issues of control regarding women. In happier news she (12♌) will sextile Jupiter (12♊) on the 21st right in time for the next lunation, at the same degree where she stationed last year. Jupiter will assuage harsh Pluto aspects for planets transiting Leo this month.
July 15th - Mars conjunct Uranus This occurs on the 14th-15th at 26 Taurus, tightly conjunct the fixed star Algol. Mars-Uranus is already quite volatile, with Mars going fast and Uranus shocking or igniting it. Think accidents (warehouse explosions, for example), interpersonally "exploding," and in wolrd affairs violence such as wars. The US dropped atomic bombs on Japan under Mars-Uranus, and has the signature in its natal chart. This already volatile configuration is conjunct malefic star Algol, known as the head of Medusa, in Chinese astrology as the entrance to the Mansion of Corpses, and in Arabic as Ra's al-Ghul ("head of the monster"), from which we get the word "ghoul." Historically Algol coincides with terrible events, for example the bombing of Guérnica. Austin predicts that most personal lives will be unaffected, but that something atrocious will happen in one of the active conflicts going on right now (though hopes he's wrong about it). Algol also figures strongly into the British royal family, the chart of the European Union, and the modern state of Israel. The Republican National Convention will also begin under this inauspicious alignment. July 16th sees the Moon lighting up all this activity, so it's an inadvisable time to start new ventures.
More generally, Mars-Uranus brings sudden upheavals, rebelliousness, challenging the status quo, impulsiveness, unpredictable behavior & acting on whims, and a strong drive for freedom and independence--for example, the January 6 capital debacle happened right as Mars entered Taurus and began approaching conjunction to Uranus. On the positive side, this can indicate starting new adventures and innovative ideas. Mars and Uranus are both antisocial, so it's advisable to strike out on your own, even just for a few days, instead of trying to get everyone else on board or fighting over different directions. Fierce individualism abounds, though Mars-Uranus can also be quirky and spontaneous--Robin Williams had this aspect in Cancer. Thankfully, Mars leaves Taurus about a week later, leaving Algol's intensity behind.
July 20th - Mars enters Gemini In a new sign, Mars is headed for a conjunction with Jupiter in mid-August, though he'll square Saturn almost immediately after. Funnily enough, that's when the Democratic National Convention takes place--which we already know is going to be a mess. Austin points out the Jupiter-Mars conjunction will be at 16 Gemini, the same degree that Venus conjoined the Sun in June, connecting those events. Mars-Jupiter can be heroic and overcoming...but that requires something to heroically overcome. The lunation really kicks things off:
July 21st - Full Moon in Capricorn
Tumblr media
A lot of different aspects are happening at once here. The Moon and Sun oppose each other at 29 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer respectively, with the Moon immediately moving towards a sextile with Neptune (29♓), and then conjoining Pluto (0♒) upon her egress from Capricorn. We'll see an immediate shift in tone with news stories foreshadowing the next month of Mars in Gemini. Mars is, by degree, in exact contra-antiscia to the Moon here. Meanwhile, Venus (12♌) sextiles Jupiter (12♊), so positive things are happening at the same time as this tense lunation. However, Merucry (26♌) squares Uranus (26♉), bringing tensions in communication. This will be one of the more memorable days of the month--ongoing negative developments will rear their heads, some nice things will happen, some unexpected things will happen, and the next day the Sun enters Leo, opposing Pluto in Aquarius.
July 22nd - Sun enters Leo Leo season starts off with the Sun opposing Pluto. For the next 20 years, every time the Sun enters Leo, it will oppose Pluto. The Pluto in Leo generation (mid-40s to 1959; Baby Boomers) will feel Pluto's opposition especially strongly, and the dozens of countries created right after WW2 have Saturn conjunct Pluto in Leo in their charts. We'll see what survives this 20 years and what fades away into history as Pluto opposes all that was built when it was 180 degrees away. Chris brings up that generationally Pluto in Leos may be resisting handing off the reins or trying to seize power back when they're past their prime. Austin brings up the accelaration of celebrity culture as a great distraction from those who are actually powerful during Pluto in Leo....maybe we'll get sick of it over the following decades. In other fixed signs, transiting Pluto now squares natal Pluto for Millennials (Pluto in Sagittarius), who are now having to wrestle with beginning to really age in their 40s.
July 25th - Mercury enters Virgo Communications become more direct and quick with Mars in Mercury's sign, but Mercury is going to retrograde close to a square with Mars at the end of the month, so we may expect some miscommunications, misunderstandings, and sharp words. Swift, smart, clever, and cool. Things may get argumentative and contentious.
By the end of the month, retrograde Saturn (18♓Rx) is moving into square distance from Jupiter (14♊), who will in turn square Neptune later--a signature that brought inflation recently. Saturn is trying to rein in Jupiter, who expands Neptune's dissolution of boundaries. Mars in Gemini further aggravates things. July leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger.

A Powerful Day for Business: Clarity, Intuition, and Transformation (April 25, 2024)
Today brings a potent astrological alignment with key planetary transits influencing our decision-making, intuition, and drive in the business world. Understanding these cosmic influences can empower you to make strategic choices and propel your business forward. Let’s delve deeper into each transit and explore how you can leverage their energy for financial success.
Mercury Stations Direct in Aries
After a potentially confusing period with Mercury retrograde, the fog finally clears as the communication planet moves forward in fiery Aries on April 25th. This shift marks a prime time to relaunch marketing campaigns that were put on hold during the retrograde. With clear thinking and renewed focus, you can effectively communicate your brand message and re-engage your audience. This is also an excellent time to clarify financial reports and address any lingering uncertainties. With a firm grasp on your financial standing, you can make informed investment decisions. Additionally, Aries’ boldness can spark innovative investment strategies. Don’t be afraid to explore new financial avenues, but ensure you conduct thorough research before committing.
Moon in Scorpio Trine Mars in Pisces
The emotional Moon in transformative Scorpio harmonizes with dreamy Mars in Pisces throughout this week, creating a potent mix of intuition and drive. This transit is a double-edged sword for business owners. On the one hand, it fosters a strong sense of gut instinct. Pay close attention to your intuition, as it can guide you towards lucrative strategic investments. However, temper the idealism of Mars in Pisces with a healthy dose of market research. Don’t let emotions cloud your judgment — ensure your investment aligns with market trends before diving in. This transit also favors partnerships. By appealing to your counterpart’s emotional needs and values, you can negotiate win-win partnerships that benefit all parties involved.
Moon in Scorpio Trine Neptune in Pisces
The Moon in Scorpio connects with mystical Neptune in Pisces, fostering compassion and imagination throughout this week. This transit is a goldmine for creative marketing campaigns. By tapping into the emotional depths of Scorpio and the imaginative power of Neptune, you can develop marketing strategies that resonate deeply with your target audience. Consider exploring new marketing channels that align with your brand’s emotional message, such as storytelling or cause-related marketing. However, be mindful of the potential pitfalls of this transit. Neptune’s influence can lead to unrealistic profit projections. Ensure your creative vision is grounded in financial reality before implementing any major marketing campaigns.
Moon in Scorpio Trine Pluto in Aquarius (Ongoing)
The Moon in Scorpio aligns with transformative Pluto in Aquarius throughout this week, pushing for deep change and letting go of what no longer serves you. This transit is a powerful catalyst for business transformation. It’s the perfect time to restructure your business model to increase efficiency and profitability. Consider eliminating underperforming products or services that are draining your resources. Embrace innovative technologies that can streamline your operations and enhance your customer experience. This can also be a great time to secure funding for transformative projects. Investors are likely to be impressed by your vision for the future and your willingness to embrace change.
By understanding these key planetary transits and leveraging their unique energies, you can navigate this powerful week with confidence. Remember, astrology empowers you to make informed choices and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. So, embrace the clarity, intuition, and transformative power of this cosmic alignment, and watch your business flourish!

Transiting Neptune stations retrograde
Friday, June 30, 21:07 UT, 27°41’ Pisces
Caveat: you may not feel this at all, unless Neptune is prominent in your chart - closely in aspect to the Sun, Moon, or an angle, strong Pisces &/or 12th House energies. (Ms M has none of those, so tends to rely heavily on others when writing Neptune posts!)
Martin Bulgerin said it well:
Neptune is the ruler of dreams and ideals, as well as a sensitivity to the subtler dimensions of living. Retrograde Neptune is a time to reassess these guiding visions in our lives. Even the most noble purpose can become a limiting straitjacket or misguided passion when it has outlived its usefulness. This is a time of confusion and reevaluation, a time when our self-image as a "knight in shining armor" shows some rust and tarnish. Above all, this is a time to distinguish between true vision and a glamorous self-deception. The element of selflessness is very important with Neptune, so don't get hung up about being a supporting actor instead of the main star.
We also need to remember that Neptune is finishing up (!!!) its stay in Pisces - it begins to move into Aries in 2025. Not that far off.
Astrologer Andre Kahr (“Astrology Alert” on YouTube) has pointed out that one of the positive manifestations of Neptune moving through Pisces, is YouTube itself. Negatively, well, I can’t remember a time when so many people seemed so gullible - eagerly, devotedly, stubbornly gullible.
The template:
Consider your natal Neptune.
Consider what transiting Neptune is up to in your birth chart.
What kinds of aspects is transiting Neptune making to your Sun, Moon, &/or angles? (Nothing.) How about to the rulers of those angles?
Which natal house(s) has/have Pisces on the cusp? There will be the ultimate results.

Neptune in the Anaretic Degree (29th Degree) -- What YOU Need to Know
     On May 3, 2024, Neptune shifted into the anaretic degree of Pisces, marking a major milestone for the outer planet and us. In astrology, the anaretic degree refers to the 29th degree of any sign. This degree holds a unique significance, often regarded as a critical point of transition and culmination within a zodiacal sign. Understanding the anaretic degree requires delving into the broader context of astrological symbolism and the cyclical nature of the zodiac.
     This degree—the 29th degree—has always been a degree of interest to me, as I have one of my personal planets in the degree. It is one of the “fame degrees” but I’ve always attributed a lot of my troubles, lessons, and struggles to this degree. I’ve also realized over the years just how critical this degree is in the good parts of my personality: my drive, urgency, and tenacity to DO SOMETHING. With that in mind, I’d like to dive deeper into the 29th degree in astrology, paying special attention to how it manifests in this ongoing transit of Neptune in Pisces.  
Anaretic Degree Meaning in Astrology
     At its core, the zodiac consists of 12 signs, each representing different archetypal energies and qualities. As the Sun traverses through each sign over the course of a year, it reaches its culmination point at the 29th degree before transitioning into the subsequent sign. This transition embodies a sense of completion, marking the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.
     The term "anaretic" is derived from the Greek word "anareta," meaning "destroyer" or "bringer of necessity." In traditional astrology, the anaretic degree was often associated with challenging circumstances, indicating a sense of urgency or crisis that demanded resolution. However, modern astrologers interpret this degree more broadly, recognizing its potential for pivotal moments of growth and transformation.
     When a planet occupies the anaretic degree in a birth chart or during a transit, it can amplify the sense of urgency and intensity associated with that planet’s energy. For example, if Mars is at the anaretic degree in a natal chart, it may signify a strong drive to initiate change or take decisive action in the areas of life represented by its sign and house placement.
     Similarly, when considering transits or progressions involving the anaretic degree, you want to pay close attention to any planets or points that make significant aspects to that degree. These configurations can indicate key turning points or moments of reckoning, where important decisions need to be made or significant events unfold.
     For instance, if a New Moon occurs at the anaretic degree of a sign, it may signal a powerful opportunity for new beginnings or the culmination of a long-term project or goal. Conversely, if a planet stations retrograde or direct at the anaretic degree, it could suggest a period of intense reflection or a profound shift in direction.
Neptune in the Anaretic (29th) Degree
    Neptune is one of the outer planets in astrology and holds profound significance in shaping our collective and individual experiences. Often referred to as the planet of dreams, illusions, and spirituality, Neptune represents the realm of the subconscious, imagination, and transcendence. It influences our perceptions, ideals, and capacity for empathy, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion.
     Pisces, as the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, is associated with themes of spirituality, compassion, and transcendence. Symbolized by the Fish, Pisces embodies the collective unconscious and the journey towards spiritual enlightenment and unity with the divine.
     When Neptune is in Pisces, its influence is heightened, as the planet is in its natural ruling sign. This placement accentuates the mystical and ethereal qualities associated with Neptune, amplifying its influence on both a personal and collective level. Neptune in Pisces fosters a heightened sense of spirituality, creativity, and sensitivity, inspiring us to explore deeper realms of consciousness (as well as our collective obsession with idealized beauty standards) and connect with the divine.
Work with Anaretic Neptune with my popular 2024 Birth Chart Reading. Learn how to work with the themes of 2024—along with Neptune in the 29th degree—to enhance your communication, build better relationships, and foster transformative personal growth.
Explore the lessons, opportunities, and karma of YOUR 29 degree placements with a Critical Degree Birth Chart Reading. This reading will illuminate the areas of your chart where urgent transformation is needed and help YOU harness the power of these critical degrees to navigate life's challenges with clarity and confidence.
     The 29th degree of Pisces holds particular significance, as it represents the culmination of Neptune's journey through the sign. At this critical degree, the energy of Neptune is intensified, marking a transitional phase between the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. With Neptune sitting in the anaretic degree of Pisces, we may experience a heightened sense of spiritual awakening, creative inspiration, or emotional sensitivity.

July 2024 Astrology Forecast: Crises as Opportunities
July 2024 Astrology Forecast:
The Astrology of July 2024, colored by the double activation of the 29º degree, indicates that significant changes are on the way and emphasizes the role of crises as opportunities. The month begins with Neptune stationing retrograde at 29º of Pisces, just a few days after Saturn stationed retrograde, also in the sign. During the upcoming months, both planets are going to travel backward through the sign of the Fish, offering us an invitation to reflect on what is dissolving in our lives and what effort is required on our part to materialize our dreams in the 3D reality.
Throughout the month of July 2024, we experience a gradual shift from Cardinal Water energy to Fixed Fire energy as Mercury, Venus, and the Sun leave Cancer and enter Leo. This shift invites us to leave our comfort zone, open up to the world, and consciously choose to wholeheartedly participate in life. During the upcoming weeks, we are going to experience a New Moon in Cancer and, just a few hours before Leo season begins, another Full Moon in Capricorn, this time at 29º of the sign and conjunct Pluto at 0º Aquarius. Around this time, deep insights into our emotional and psychological makeup and opportunities for radical transformation will be available.
Here are the main Astrology events coming up in July 2024.
Neptune stations retrograde in Pisces & Mercury enters Leo
Jul 2, 2024, 06:40 AM EST & Jul 2, 2024, 08:50 AM EST
The new calendar month begins with Neptune stationing retrograde at 29º Pisces and Mercury entering Leo. Neptune’s shift of motion invites us to direct more energy inward and question our existing approach to inner and spiritual exploration. This transit supports a contemplative and internal focus and inspires us to search for answers within. Neptune retrograde in Pisces is an opportunity to redefine our relationship with our spiritual practice and our spiritual values and refine our attunement to our intuition.
Mercury’s ingress into Leo invites a shift in our thinking and communication styles and inspires us to express ourselves more confidently and creatively. During this time, we are encouraged to share our ideas with the world and embrace opportunities to be heard. Mercury in Leo inspires us to communicate enthusiastically and think creatively while being aware of the value of sharing our opinions and ideas. This combination of energies favors creative endeavors and artistic projects as well as all forms of self-expression connected with language, writing, and speaking.
New Moon in Cancer
Jul 5, 2024, 6:57 PM EST
The New Moon in Cancer is an opportunity to come into a new relationship with our emotions and our vulnerability. It is an opportunity to renovate our relationship with our past, our family, and our emotional needs. This event begins a lunar cycle centered around renewing the way we approach self-care, self-nurturance, and emotional self-awareness. The New Moon in her domicile offers us an invitation to create our personal definition of “home” and invites us on a journey inward, reminding us that it is our responsibility to make decisions that honor our hearts and protect our sensitivity.
Venus enters Leo
Jul 11, 2024, 12:19 PM EST
Venus’ ingress in Leo brings a desire to feel seen and appreciated and reminds us to value celebration, creativity, and authentic expression. This transit represents a powerful time to work on our social skills, creativity, and ability to find pleasure in life. Venus in Leo is an opportunity to reclaim our connection with our radiance, with our childlike enthusiasm, and with our joy. Venus in Leo reminds us of the value of creative expression, the power of being intentional about aesthetics, and the importance of play: this transit inspires us to experiment and make art for art’s sake, without worrying about how it looks or about whether we are doing it right.
Mars enters Gemini
Jul 20, 2024, 4:43 PM EST
Mars’s ingress into Gemini marks an increase in the pace of our intellectual activity and fuels our desire to learn more about everything. This shift suggests a growing intellectual restlessness as well as an experimental and open-minded approach to sexuality. Mars in Gemini transit can be associated with stronger tendencies toward impulsive and tactless speaking. During this time, we are reminded of the power of words, we are reminded that words can be weapons and that it’s our responsibility to use them with awareness. Mars’ journey through the sign of the Twins is also a reminder of the power of our thoughts and of how our thinking can either energize us or deplete us.
Full Moon in Capricorn
Jul 21, 2024, 06:16 AM EST
This month’s Capricorn Full Moon happens on the 29º degree and conjunct with Pluto at 0º of Aquarius. This lunation marks the culmination of a journey of psychological and emotional transformation and facilitates revelations and insights about structural changes that need to be made in our inner and outer lives. During a collective and personal time of transition, we are required to gain awareness of how we need to mature and get better at discerning what is our responsibility and what isn’t. The Full Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto invites us to release defense mechanisms, layers of protection, and unconscious strategies we employ to indirectly have our needs met.
July 2024 Astrology Forecast
Leo season begins
Jul 22, 2024, 03:45 AM EST
The Sun’s ingress into his home sign of Leo reminds us to nurture our connection with the creative impulse, keep our inner flame burning, and invest our energy in what gives us energy back, in what we are passionate about, in what brings us joy. While the Sun is in Leo, we are inspired to explore our creative urges without expectations, without goals, andwithout seeking external approval. The Sun’s yearly transit through Leo inspires us to connect with our inner child’s playfulness, lightheartedness, and joy and reminds us to celebrate life and ourselves more often.
Mercury enters Virgo
Jul 25, 2024, 6:42 PM EST
As the month comes to an end, Mercury enters its Earth domicile of Virgo. Here, the Messenger supports our ability to focus on what is most important and inspires us to delve into self-analysis and self-improvement. This transit invites us to incorporate more discernment into our lives and to distinguish between what serves us and what doesn’t. During Mercury’s journey through Virgo, we will be motivated to focus on solving problems, improving functionality, and managing daily tasks efficiently.This transit inspires us to explore a new way of thinking about health and try taking care of our wellness considering all the dimensions of it.
July 2024 Astrology Forecast: Our Invitation
During July 2024, all the planets entering Leo are also going to oppose Pluto in Aquarius, highlighting power struggles and control dynamics, especially within relationships, while suggesting a higher likelihood of experiencing intellectual confrontations. In the upcoming weeks, we will have chances to gain awareness of how we manage the dance between fear and desire when it comes to being seen, being in the spotlight, and being authentically and creatively expressed.
Before leaving Taurus and entering Gemini, Mars is going to cross Uranus, marking a surge in our desire to rebel from constrictions, assert our freedom, and make drastic changes. Around July 15, when this aspect goes exact, we can expect rebellions and disruptive turning points, both on the world stage and in our individual lives.
Lastly, as previously mentioned, the anaretic 29º degree will be activated twice in July 2024, by Neptune stationing retrograde in Pisces and by the Full Moon in Capricorn. The 29º is a point of both crises and opportunity: the activation of the “anaretic degree” highlights the fact that a change is soon due, that we are going through a potent collective transition. The energy of completion, culmination, and transformation will be strongly present for the entire month of July 2024, a month likely to be filled with opportunities to make life-changing decisions, solve unfinished business, and create space for new beginnings. -Moon Omens

Energy Update: July 2024
Tumblr media
July is a “6” Universal Month [7 (July) + 8 (2024) = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6] in an “8” Universal Year. Six months are connective and somewhat comforting; we tend to reconnect with our Others after the rough conflicts of the “5” month that came before. This is somewhat at odds with the month’s transits, which are pushing us forward and outward. We are in the liminal phase where something has ended, but the new beginning hasn’t happened yet; not really.
The Set Up
We begin the month with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Cancer, Mars and Uranus in Taurus, Jupiter in Gemini, retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. When you include our North Node and Chiron sitting in Aries, we still have a long line of planetary activation stretching from the last signs of the horoscope (Aquarius and Pisces) through the first signs of the horoscope (Aries through Cancer). After this month, the cluster will break, but for now, we are still stuck in this in-between energy.
By the end of July, the Sun and Venus will have moved on into Leo, Mercury will have moved all the way through Leo and onto Virgo (starting the pre-shadow phase of its next retrograde cycle), and Mars will enter Gemini. Additionally, Neptune will retrograde at 29° Pisces.
The Nitty Gritty
There is a notable lack of major planetary aspecting during July because all of our personal planets are still so closely stacked together. Instead, we see repeat activation between these planets and the lunar nodes in Aries. Cancer is the midway point between our North Node in Aries and our South Node in Libra, and we are at a turning point late in this lunar cycle. We have one last set of eclipse to get through before our nodes switch to Pisces-Virgo with the new year, and it’s starting to show. This is crunch time – whatever has been coming up in our lives around the themes of independence (Aries) versus codependence (Libra) is coming to a head.
We are experiencing these nodal hits thrice over: the first time through a sextile while the planets are in Gemini, a second time in square while they are in Cancer, and a third time in trine while they transit Leo. Things will be easier and then more difficult and easier again. But easy, when it comes to the lunar nodes, is really just a matter of perspective. The lunar nodes can be read as a compass pointing in the sky, away from the South Node’s current position and towards the North Node’s current position. Where the North Node is needs work – it is where we are heading.
Whether that’s a good or bad thing is up for debate. The lunar nodes happen to us—they create the eclipse cycles that enact the greatest moments of change in our lives. Like the influence of the outer planets, eclipse cycles are beyond our comprehension; at best, we can control how we react to them.
In essence, the days of nodal activation throughout the month (of which there are many) are days to watch out for. Let’s take a neutral stance here—eclipses help when we need doors opened but can also slam doors shut that we shouldn’t walk through. If you are on top of things and paying attention, you can use days like this to determine where your life is headed. Eyes wide open is the name of the game all month long.
Lunar Nodal Activation Dates:
7/2 – Sun in Cancer square the lunar nodes, 7/9 – Mercury in Leo trine the North Node in Aries/sextile the South Node in Libra, 7/12 – Jupiter in Gemini sextile the North Node in Aries/trine the South Node in Libra, 7/19 – Venus in Leo trine the North Node in Aries/sextile the South Node in Libra
Each of these dates will be highly liminal (7/2, especially as it is also the date that Neptune stations retrograde) and can be used for divination, pathworking, dreaming, and other magics with which this type of energy is naturally augmented. Stare aware of what happens to you during this time and believe it. Sometimes, difficult truths are revealed through lunar node activation; looking them straight in the eye is better than burying your head in the sand.
Likewise, Chiron – our Wounded Healer – is also in Aries and will be our other major player of the month. To gain a better perspective, we should take a wider step away and discuss how these move around the horoscope wheel. Chiron, like our planetary bodies, moves forward through the horoscope wheel while our North Node, as a mathematical point in the sky, moves backward through the signs. These two have already met and passed each other – Chiron is nearing the end of the Aries, and The North Node is nearing the beginning. This has made Aries (and, by default, the other cardinal signs) the seat of change in the world right now. And since it’s Aries, it is quite the hot seat.
I’ve written a lot about how this whole era we’re in has a major theme of “change before you have to,” which is running afoul of our very human urge to do the exact opposite of our best interests.
There’s a line between standing up for ourselves, allowing each other to BE ourselves, and being a collective that sees each other and cares for the whole that we’re just not getting right. This long-term opposition between the North Node and Chiron in Aries and the South Node in Libra fully represents this in the skies. Whatever this story means to you – whether you’ve been seeing it in the news, experiencing it personally in your life, or ignoring it all together; this chapter of it is ending.
And it fucking hurts. Let’s take a minute to stop and acknowledge the very real pain that most of us (I suspect it’s all of us) are feeling. The aloneness of the quarantine – that was Chiron in Aries. The way that it’s been triggering you every time you realize that your parents don’t actually see you as a separate human being – that’s this whole opposition coming into play. Has your friend group completely fallen apart? South Node in Libra. Has your relationship? Same. We can infer that, in general, what the South Node removes is for the greater good, but with Chiron so involved, it does not feel this way.
If every fiber of your being hurts, you are right on time. And I’m sorry. As somebody who has Chiron on my Ascendant, I can attest to how much it sucks to have to feel all of the pain that Chiron brings to the party.
We’ve got about six more months of this intense Chiron action interconnected with the lunar nodes, and then the nodes will move on. Sure, we all need to sit with this Chiron in Aries energy for another couple of years, but it won’t be involved in our eclipse cycles any longer. That will be a huge relief.
I can also say that, like eclipse/Node energy, Chiron is best faced with your eyes wide open. Chiron is the cosmic reminder that shit is compost and all decaying matter feeds life once more. Fields need to lie fallow. Pain is a signal that can be followed to a source. Sometimes, it’s faulty wiring. Sometimes, you can even replace that wiring. This tends to take a lot of self-compassion, and there doesn’t seem to be much going around – do what you can. Treat yourself like your favorite pet or houseplant.
Chiron days to stay aware of:
7/6 – Venus in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, 7/15 – Sun in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, 7/18 Mercury in Leo trine Chiron, 7/30 – Venus in Leo trine Chiron
All of these dates could be used for healing magic of all kinds.
This month, our big day to look out for is 7/15, when Mars conjuncts Uranus at 26° Taurus. This is an accident waiting to happen, so don’t do anything stupid. Avoid unnecessary travel, don’t play with fireworks, etc. The Sun is square to Chiron all day, too, so it has the potential to really hurt. This isn’t a reason to panic – this is an astrological weather report; whereas some days you might need to bring an umbrella, this is the kind of day where you might want to stay inside. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Our day to look forward to for the month is our full moon on 7/21, which is a true astrological blue moon – meaning it’s the second moon in a row in the sign of Capricorn. This is highly auspicious and doubly so because we also have two new moons in Capricorn this year (one in January and another in December!). Sitting at 29° Capricorn, it will call in a lot of the energy of Pluto, who is sitting at 00° Aquarius, inching its way back toward Capricorn one last time.
Again, note the intense cardinal sign activation that is happening all month. This full moon will also tie in Chiron in Aries through a wider square. Heads up to anybody with their lights or personal planets in late Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn – now can be your time if you can get through the pain enough to see the change. Y’all are stubborn folks, so I have faith in your capabilities.
This moon, along with the full moon on 6/21 at 01° Capricorn, are great days to do any long-form intentional work towards money, finances, career, or any task that involves structure. Work with the moon’s cycles here: where do you want to be in six months when the moon is new in Capricorn once more? But stay aware that Saturn will crash your party whether you invite them or not, so you might as well extend an official invitation.
The numerology of this full moon is 5/2. [0 (Capricorn Moon) + 4 (Cancer Sun) = 14 = 1+4 = 5. 5 (Capricorn full moon) + 6 (July 2024) = 11 = 1+1 =2.] There’s a chance to break a cycle (5) that can become the start of something new (2).
Our new moon on 7/5 is at 14° Cancer and should be more low-key. The moon is in its home in the sign of the crab, making this day especially lunar and watery. If ever there was a day to wash wash wash it all away – either with a mop or the ocean waves, it is a Cancer Moon. The numerology of the day is 8/5 [4 (Cancer Moon) + 4 (Cancer Sun) = 8. 8 (Cancer New moon) + 6 (July 2024) = 14 = 1+4 = 5.] The innate 8 energy echoes that of the moving tides; it ebbs and flows. We see the echo of the 5 energy of change and movement throughout this month.
Otherwise, the seasons shift as we move deeper into summer energy all month. There’s an echo of egoic Leo energy in the air all month long as all three of our more moveable personal planets move through the sign of the lion. It’s summer when, most of all, we really start to feel ourselves. Remember, this isn’t a bad thing. Do a bit of magic to remind yourself how much of a badass you are. As a little treat.
Neptune will retrograde, but we won’t really notice as it’s so slow-moving anyway. We need to keep an eye on Mercury, though, as it is whipping through the summer signs before its mid-summer retrograde. The crossover from Fixed to Mutable signs is highlighted here as Mercury will retrograde from 04° Virgo to 21° Leo starting in early August. Be aware. I will be writing more about this soon.
Months that begin with the sign of the crab on the horizon are usually emotional and moody, and this is no exception. Remember that it’s okay to tread water when things get too deep, and you can let the rip current take you – eventually, it will let you go, and you can swim to shore. It’s when you fight it that things can go really wrong, really quickly.
Practice your very best self-care. Treat yourself with the same kindness that you would your most loved Other. If you’ve got anything left after that, extend it to as many of your Others as you can.

how neptune’s retrograde in pisces will affect us: 📝
Tumblr media
tomorrow, neptune stations retrograde yet again in the seductive, imaginative sign of pisces !! until the end of the year, neptune takes a step back and allows us to view the world without any false impressions or obscurity.
the planet of vagueness and assumption will move backwards in its own sign until december 6th, giving us nearly six months to enjoy companionship without passive-aggression, conflict without misinterpretation, and progress that isn't based off any farfetched ideas or unattainable wishes. neptune will push us towards the truth.
as neptune retrogrades in pisces, it can impact you differently depending on which house neptune transits through, read more below !!
NEPTUNE RX IN PISCES THROUGHOUT THE HOUSES:
neptune rx in the 1H: with this transit, you can really improve your physical and mental wellbeing by submerging yourself in water more regularly (especially the waters of the ocean, since neptune is the ocean). this period can also be a very renewing, because neptune's movement here will remove any misconceptions you may have about your identity or your body. be flexible and gentle with yourself as your self-perception may bend a bit during this time
neptune rx in the 2H: any illusions about your money or budgeting practices will be lifted during this transit. try to listen to financial criticism without taking it personally, because that sensitivity may cloud your judgment and shelter you from insight. this may also be a time you find yourself "shaken by the shoulders" in regards to your self-esteem — where others tell you exactly what you need to hear to spark a sense of self-worth and security in you (remember that the 2H is the house of freedom)
neptune rx in the 3H: as the house of habit and communication, neptune's station here encourages you to work on your own habits and communication skills. when retrograde, neptune begins to prioritize efficiency and certainty, rather than whimsy and imagination. try to channel this energy into your daily interactions with others and you'll find that they become less complicated !! this is also an ideal time to re-evaluate your lease agreement, car payments, any important written forms, etc.
neptune rx in the 4H: grief or shame you've been carrying in your heart can be profoundly healed during this transit. especially any difficult feelings about your family — this period will give you many opportunities to express these feelings, and be vulnerable without as much discomfort. it's also a wonderful time to locate any lost objects in your house / go through the knick-knacks you have (as neptune represents antiques). it's great for taking an ancestry test as well !!
neptune rx in the 5H: information about your childhood can be revealed to you through mediums or members of your family who are particularly spiritual. you may also learn that a hobby you had during your youth takes up a new purpose now, once neptune stations retrograde. this transit will also take off your rose-tinted glasses when it comes to your romantic life — use this time to study the words and actions of the people you're interested in so you can avoid any errors in judgment later
neptune rx in the 6H: any hidden issues in the workplace / with coworkers will be brought to your attention during this transit. neptune's movement here will help you interrogate these conflicts and examine them closely, without any deception or pretenses. if you've also been experiencing confusion with your health, the meds you take, the diet your doctor put you on, etc. this will be a perfect time to probe until you get an explanation that satisfies you
neptune rx in the 7H: a fantastic time to be assertive and inquisitive in your close relationships. don't be afraid to ask questions and clarify any misunderstandings you might have; it will save you a lot of unnecessary worry down the road. neptune here will also help shed light on the contracts and public duties you're currently obligated to. there may be ways to make these responsibilities less stressful or demanding, but you might just not be aware of them until this transit
neptune rx in the 8H: this is an excellent time to address repetitive, pointless situations that keep popping up in your relationships. neptune will provide you with an exceptional amount of foresight during its time in this house. considering the themes of the 8H, you may receive signs / clarity on shared finances, loans, inheritances, cycles, your own psychic or occult skills, the resources and energy you share with others, your relationship with power, fear, etc.
neptune rx in the 9H: this is a great transit to ask people for their opinions on a body of work you're developing. the 9H governs publication and media, so it can be especially helpful right now to hear honest feedback from others about the media you're creating. neptune here will also remove any doubts you've had with your own spiritual path — research more about the spiritual system(s) you subscribe to and look for guidance from people who are spiritually knowledgeable
neptune rx in the 10H: as the house of historical value and personal legacies, neptune will clear up any confusion you have about your purpose or "what you were meant to do in this life." take advantage of this transit and meditate on what kind of impact you want to leave on your loved ones, your community, the world, etc. — the answer will come to you quickly. this is also a favorable time for bringing important information to the public eye or releasing a hidden project you've been waiting to share
neptune rx in the 11H: if you have been experiencing uncertainty or hardship in your friendships, this period will be great for rectifying it. you may notice people start showing sides of themselves that you weren't anticipating, so use your intuition to navigate these situations and you will find clarity. even though these revelations can be alarming, this transit will ultimately provide you with relief from any social stress you might be dealing with
neptune rx in the 12H: any strange dreams you've had before this transit will start to make more sense once neptune stations retrograde (as the 12H is the house of the subconscious). this time will also teach you to rely on your instincts more often, so you don't end up going through meaningless pain or conflict with others. the connection you have with your spiritual team or angels will become much more direct during this retrograde, as neptune will remove the fog that shrouds your link with them
book a reading !!
