Hello, the July forecast is finally out!
I was lucky to be joined again by Brandon Alter of the Spiritual Gayz and, as always, feel blessed to have the opportunity to chat with them about the astrology of the month ahead.
As of yesterday, Uranus has officially moved into Gemini. The planet of disruption, innovation, and eccentricity will remain here until November, before his brief retrograde back into Taurus.
This is a huge transition and arranges all three of the outer planets into aspect with one another. I’ll be speaking and writing more on this soon, but these are very loud transits as well as energies we’ll be contending with for years to come. July offers some important clues for understanding what themes, conflicts, and adventures this configuration has in store for us long term.
Uranus is a disruptive energy. He moves towards liberation. He moves towards eccentricity. But his methods are unpredictable by design. Unlike the fixed earth sign he’s finally departed, Gemini is a territory inclined to amplify Uranus’ hijinks, rather than resist them.
While it's not possible to predict or control the energy of Uranus, cultivating an intention for an openness to change and innovation in the Gemini area of life will go a long way in supporting this 7-year transit.
I encourage all of you to take a look at what Gemini rules in your chart. If you need help, comment with your rising sign, and I will let you know where to look.
Our community meeting this month will be held on Sunday, July 20 at 5 PM PST.
This is a free community meeting—you are all welcome to join: Zoom Link.
We will be discussing one of the most potent and potentially precarious transits of the month: Mars conjunct Ketu (South Node).
Mars–Ketu conjunctions assist us in cutting away personal patterns, attachments, and ideas that hold us back from the fullest expression of ourselves. They also tend to correspond to periods of collective loss and terror. I intend to hold this community space in the spirit of embracing the wholeness of everything we are currently experiencing. We are living through an astrological window of intensity that is manifesting as many displays of collective horror and trauma, but also offers powerful fuel for personal and collective change. We are experiencing transits of notably rare tension and maleficence, shining alongside transits of beauty, fullness, and beneficence.
There are no easy, obvious approaches to navigating these times. But I would like to do as much as I can to help you all strategize pathways for action and ease—to take advantage of the good while remaining clearheaded about the challenges.s.
As a reminder, this is my first year teaching the zodiac! I have received a request to move my classes earlier in the zodiacal season, so the next class will be the first weekend of Leo.
Saturday, July 26 at 10 AM.
Mark your calendars and register here.
With Love,
Christina
