The PLANETARY PLANNER

JULY 2025| PART 2

JUNCTURES OF JUPITER•••

This July, Jupiter trudges through early Cancer like a philosopher in a haunted house—equal parts hungry for meaning and spooked by his own shadow…

Jupiter moves between 4°53’ and 11°47’ Cancer, tiptoeing through ancestral corridors thick with echoes, memories, and a faint scent of overcooked karma. But don’t let the softness of Cancer fool you—this stretch of sky is armored in myth and veiled in moist, emotional thunder.

These degrees drip with the poignant paradox of Jupiterian longing: the pursuit of divine order while the old ghosts fiddle with the compass.

BETWEEN THE WORLDS: The Cosmic Wanderer’s Dilemma

Jupiter in this territory is like the wandering bard who remembers too much and trusts too little. There’s a longing to build utopias on earth, to light up the collective imagination like fireflies in a mason jar—but there’s also a deep ache beneath the surface. A weight that whispers: You’ve done this before—and it didn’t go as planned.

Here, the expansion is haunted. You chase dreams with furious clarity only to realize they are ancient karmic loops playing out in new costumes. Fate nips at your heels like a ghost dog who remembers all your past lives and isn’t afraid to bark them out when you start getting cocky.

There’s glory in the vision, no doubt—Jupiter in Cancer wants to nurture the future, to build sacred containers that can hold both grief and grace…

But there’s also disillusionment. The bigness you’re reaching for might hit a ceiling made of subtle sabotage—ancestral stories, unconscious fear, or plain old patterns that have been passed down like fine china and just as breakable.

KARMIC INTERFERENCES & COSMIC REBOOT

This transit isn’t just a philosophical exercise—it’s a psychic scavenger hunt. You’re chasing shadows that hold the keys to the next door. You’re reconciling the need to create with the fact that much of what you build will be filtered through unresolved pasts. That freakish little glitch you thought was no big deal?—it’s the password to the transformation you’ve been praying for.

This is Jupiter under pressure. Growth with grit. Magnification of every little doubt, every unresolved dynamic, every unacknowledged ache. The reward? Soul restoration. But only if you stop pretending the demons are somebody else’s problem.

You may face disruptions, derailments, and a deeply inconvenient truth: that the very thing holding you back is the story you tell yourself about how far you’ve come…

THE VISIONARY’S TRIAL: Between Utopia & Undoing

At its best, this Jupiter stretch births a mythopoetic clarity. A deep sense that we’re not here to just survive history but to remake it. The soul, when sober, becomes luminous. When you face the ancestral gunk without flinching, you discover that the chaos was never a punishment—it was preparation.

Jupiter here is ripe with revelation, but it won’t come through sermons or soapboxes. It will come in the crack of a voice, in the loneliness after a win, in the ache of watching your own illusions melt and realizing you’re still standing.

The most expansive thing you can do under this Jupiter isn’t to dream bigger. It’s to tell the whole truth…

About where you’ve been.

About what still haunts you.

About what part of you still believes it’s safer to sabotage than to shine.

JULY JUPITER THEMES•••

• The haunted house of self-expression. You build it, you bless it, and then a ghost pulls the rug out so you can remember why you started building in the first place.

• Ancestral reckonings. It’s not about breaking the cycle—it’s about composting it into wisdom.

• Fear as music. Let it compose courage. Let it hum you back into motion.

• Utopian ache. You know what the world could be. But can you hold the grief of what it currently is—without flinching or fleeing?

• The divine experiment. Every cracked intention is a test tube for soul light.

This isn’t clean or easy. But it is sacred.

Dream wide. Fall hard. Rise honest. And know that the bigness was never the point—it was always about the depth.

STRUCTURES OF SATURN•••

Saturn stations retrograde—from 1°49’ to 1°38’ Aries—stationing early July at 2° Aries…

Saturn, the taskmaster in boots of lead, has pitched a tent on the first scorched acres of Aries—a place where beginnings bang like war drums, but follow-through limps along after the adrenaline dies. And this July, Saturn doesn’t just camp here—he stations here, retrograding like a moody god of restraint reviewing a list of your impulsive decisions and wondering how best to sentence you.

This is the realm of the rebel archetype, the outlaw still raw with angst, the archetypal 17-year-old who’s not wrong—but also not quite right. It’s where self-definition comes wearing a spiked collar and flammable intentions.

This is Saturn in Aries at the station point: the myth of selfhood under siege by karma’s quiet clipboard.

You’re up against yourself here, not the world. And the walls you’re pounding your fists against? Hand-carved by your own unmet needs, your righteous fury, and that one moment when someone told you you couldn’t—and you decided to make that your whole personality.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE STANDOFF: PERSONAL REBELLION VS COSMIC CONSEQUENCE

Saturn’s early retrograde in Aries presses the brakes on all that “I’ll do it my way” bravado and asks: but who are you when the fire dies down? This is identity rehab at its most unglamorous. It’s spiritual detention with no Wi-Fi and a mirror that won’t flinch.

Here, you may find yourself reenacting old defiance like it’s still fresh, still necessary—except now, the consequences show up faster, heavier, and with better aim. Every time you shout into the void that you won’t conform, Saturn quietly scribbles a lesson in your margins: “But what are you actually for?”

You’re being asked to outgrow your favorite crisis. To stop wearing rebellion like a disguise and start embodying it like a discipline. True individuality doesn’t need to shout. It can stand still—and still send tremors through the ground.

THE SLOW-BURN INITIATION: STRUCTURE AS SACRED STAMINA

This isn’t about punishment—it’s about precision. Saturn here is chiseling your raw Aries instincts into something sustainable. But that process? It scrapes. You may feel like the universe has you on mute, like no one’s paying attention to the fire you’re carrying. But that silence? That stall? It’s holy ground. It’s the waiting room where ego burns off like fog and purpose begins to crystallize.

Saturn in early Aries retrograde doesn’t want your bravado. It wants your integrity. The kind that shows up even when there’s no applause. The kind that can take the raw electricity of your younger self and wire it into something that can power a future—without short-circuiting your soul.

This month, the structure you’re building isn’t external. It’s internal scaffolding: bones thickened by honesty, breath slowed by discernment, will honed by refusal to self-abandon.

JULY SATURN THEMES•••

• Personal myth meets cosmic resistance. The heroic narrative of your independence is being held accountable to the long game.

• Rebellion re-evaluated. What began as refusal may now be recognized as avoidance.

• The ego’s temper tantrum gives way to true stamina. Fire is nothing without form.

• Slow your roll to feel your soul. The long route home is the only one that counts right now.

Saturn isn’t stopping your momentum out of malice. He’s making sure it’s worth the momentum. This is a time to reconsider what kind of structure you’re willing to be. One that contains the divine—or just another story that collapses the minute the wind shifts?

𓁿

UPHEAVALS OF URANUS•••

Uranus—planetary patron of shock, liberation, and the cosmic “WTF”—makes his first toe-dip into Gemini on July 7…

But before he throws the switch on the future, he lingers at the threshold, humming with retrospective electricity. This isn’t your usual technological upgrade or spiritual jailbreak. No. This is the tectonic hum of soul memory being stirred with a cattle prod.

You’re not just remembering—you’re reliving lifetimes worth of lessons in a single blink. A thousand karmic footnotes flare up at once: past relationships, half-finished dreams, former selves flickering in and out like bad reception. The Taurus finale is not gentle. It’s like reading your own autobiography in reverse while being electrocuted with insight.

THE LAST DEGREE OF TAURUS: Nostalgia, Static & the Sacred Stall

At 29° Taurus, Uranus asks one final question before departing the earthbound palace of slow changes and stubborn truths:

Can you love the process, even if it broke your heart?

Can you bless the path, even though it made you bleed?

This is the moment of deciding the future—not because it’s ready, but because the past can no longer be escaped or denied. Everything in you may want to turn away from what was…

But here’s the trick: Uranus only accelerates when you accept what’s already happened. To curse the old cycle is to bring it with you. To see it clearly and hold it with both hands?—that’s how you slip the lock on evolution.

INGRESS INTO GEMINI: Electric Thought, Fragmented Self & the Initiation of Duality

Then—click—the ingress…

Uranus enters Gemini—and the frequency shifts.

Now the lightning isn’t in your body—it’s in your mind. This is high-voltage consciousness, sudden revelations, psychic uploads in Morse code. You may find yourself split between selves: the one who wants to leap and the one who’s still holding the memory of being burned.

Gemini doesn’t like consistency—it likes multiplicity. And Uranus here is a jazz solo on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Expect quick-change identities, truth bombs, contradictions that refuse to be resolved.

But also: genius. Breakthrough. A strange clarity that comes only when your assumptions get rearranged like alphabet soup on a rollercoaster. You begin to see the patterns between your past lives and this one. The karmic glitch becomes the upgrade.

EXTREME INITIATIONS: Longing, Resistance & the Turn in the Spiral

This transition doesn’t ask you to be calm. It asks you to be ready. For trials, for exile, for deep return. The longing for what’s been left behind runs parallel with the pressure to sprint toward something new—but no one told your nervous system how to bridge the two. That’s the dance.

You may find yourself fighting yourself. Tangents and compulsions stir like static. The little self wants to bolt. The larger self?—it wants you to witness. To not flinch at the paradox. To stand at the vortex and choose to stay awake as the storm rearranges your circuitry.

Because here’s the secret: the upheaval isn’t the enemy—it’s the invitation.

What looks like chaos is a new cosmic code trying to speak through your bones…

JULY URANUS THEMES•••

• Final reckonings. Whatever you didn’t resolve in Taurus now becomes a philosophical haunting in Gemini.

• Mindquakes. Sudden shifts in thinking, speech, learning, and identity—this is not just Mercury’s playground anymore.

• Nervous system reboots. The body remembered in Taurus. The brain electrifies in Gemini.

• Cycles of exile and return. You’re not just moving forward. You’re spiraling upward through old terrain with new awareness.

• Karmic acceleration. The past reappears not to punish, but to test your relationship to it.

Uranus doesn’t care if you’re comfortable. Uranus cares if you’re awake. And this ingress is your wake-up call—delivered in stereo, mid-thunderstorm, with a side of déjà vu.

Forget what you thought you knew.

The future starts with what you’re finally brave enough to remember…

NOTIONS OF NEPTUNE•••

Neptune is retrograde in the early degrees of Aries…

Neptune in Aries is not here to sedate. He is not offering you a flute of celestial champagne and a velvet chaise to recline upon while your illusions dissolve quietly into stardust. No. This Neptune throws the velvet chaise out the window and sets your favorite lie on fire, then hands you a mirror and says: “Your move.”

July’s Neptune is still fresh into Aries, but already retrograding—pulling back the fog just enough to show you the scaffolding behind your soul’s most sacred delusions. This is candor as a sacrament. Honesty stripped naked and howling. Not the tidy kind that wins applause, but the kind that leaves claw marks on the mirror before it sets you free.

THE TRUTH AS JACKHAMMER: UNSUGARCOATED SPIRITUALITY

At 2°–3° Aries, Neptune is not romantic.

It is raw. Unfiltered. Loud.

This isn’t Piscean mysticism or dreamy dissolution—this is Aries-style spiritual directness: divine truth delivered like a fist through a stained-glass window.

You might find yourself craving reality like a thirst you didn’t know you had. Gone are the veils. Gone is the poetry. Neptune here demands actual self-revelation. You won’t get to hide behind your spiritual persona or philosophical finesse.

This transit isn’t whispering in your dreams—it’s yelling from your ribcage…

The question is: can you handle seeing yourself without the soft-focus lens?

REBELLION AS RELIGION: THE OUTLAW’S DIVINE DILEMMA

But Neptune, god of all that blurs, isn’t content with clarity alone. Here in Aries, he’s tangled up with identity—the part of you that insists on being different, difficult, distinctive. And while that can look like freedom, it can also trap you in a very familiar prison: the persona of the misunderstood rebel, wearing resistance like a crown of thorns.

You may feel overtaken by old patterns—bursts of anger, reactivity, the craving to be against rather than for. There’s an archetype here: the sacred outcast. The mythic loner. The one who fights just to feel alive. But Neptune doesn’t glamorize it. Neptune pokes it. Dissolves it. Neptune asks: Are you choosing this identity, or is it choosing you?

This transit brings every projection to the surface—yours and everyone else’s. You become a mirror no one likes to look at. But this is not punishment. It’s purification. Neptune retrograde in Aries is a rite of divine discomfort.

THE SPIRITUAL ADOLESCENT: NOT YET HOLY, NOT YET HOME

This Neptune passage is where your inner mystic meets your inner thirteen-year-old and both start fighting over who’s allowed to speak. One wants transcendence. The other wants attention. And the friction between them?—that’s where the transformation begins.

It’s messy, loud, contradictory. You’ll be tempted to channel it all into edgy performances of enlightenment. But Neptune’s not here for theater—Neptune is here for truth. Even if that truth is ugly. Especially if it is.

You’re not being punished for your fire. You’re being initiated by it.

JULY NEPTUNE THEMES•••

• Brutal honesty as mystical act. No filters, no frills, just you and the divine truth laid bare.

• The outlaw archetype meets the spirit guide. Rebellion isn’t the destination. It’s the door.

• Disillusionment with performance. The ego-mystic gets lovingly dismantled.

• Projection playground. What others see in you is not who you are. And what you fight may be fighting to free you.

• Mysticism without escape. You’re not floating off—you’re burning in.

This is Neptune’s declaration: You want union? Start with the part of you you’re still hiding from. This is not about enlightenment through detachment. This is about immersion—into the grit, the glare, the holy mess of becoming someone real.

No more hiding in halos.

Bring your whole fire to the altar.

That’s where the miracle waits.

𓁿

PENETRATIONS OF PLUTO•••

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius isn’t playing god. It’s whispering behind the veil, “You are.” This July, the planet of death, rebirth, and unapologetic metamorphosis retraces the early electric steps of Aquarius—a sign that smells like revolution and thinks in algorithms of soul.

This is not polite astrology. This is high-voltage reality shattering. This is deep-sea pressure building inside the collective nervous system until the tectonic plates of perception shift—abruptly, permanently, gloriously.

We’re not talking tweaks. We’re talking tectonics. Pluto doesn’t improve what exists. He deconstructs it to its bones, then invites you to grow wings where your armor used to be.

THE STIRRINGS OF FUTURE-TENSE TRUTH

Pluto’s passage through early Aquarius is like a thousand-watt light bulb flickering behind your frontal lobe. You suddenly know things—astounding, staggering, world-splitting things. Not in words, not in doctrine, but in pulses. In flashes. In the shimmering realization that the structures you’ve been inhabiting—mental, emotional, societal—were never meant to contain the full frequency of who you are becoming.

This transit strips away the “shoulds” and “used to bes” like a molting serpent—old skins of ideology, fossilized norms, inherited assumptions. You don’t just see the future—you ache toward it. And even if you can’t name it yet, you can feel it humming just under the surface, whispering, There is more. There has always been more.

THE COLLECTIVE INITIATION: UTOPIAN FERVOR WITH A BACKSTAGE PASS

Pluto retrograde here reboots the collective hard drive. You may be finding yourself in rooms you didn’t plan to enter—communities of seekers, visionaries, weirdos, wisdom-carriers. You might be drafting new blueprints for worlds that haven’t formed yet but already smell like liberation.

Aquarius isn’t about fitting in—it’s about fitting beyond. And Pluto’s presence here means the most radical act may be imagining differently, even if the world hasn’t caught up. Especially when it hasn’t.

This is how paradigms die: not with resistance, but with irrelevance.

DISSOLUTION AS LIBERATION: WHEN THE KNOWN COLLAPSES TO MAKE ROOM

Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius holds the exquisite ache of the threshold. You are no longer who you were, and not yet who you are becoming. You live timelessly now, cast loose from the old karmic grid. The structures you once leaned on—internally and externally—start to vaporize under scrutiny.

And still… you spin out, open-armed, into the unknown. With awe. With wonder. With the kind of courage that looks like madness from the outside.

The ordinary dissolves into something exquisite when you let go of the need for fixed meaning. Everything equal, everything sacred. This is soul democracy. The temple is your awareness. The altar is your breath. The revolution starts in your marrow.

JULY PLUTO THEMES•••

• Vision-shock. Knowing more than you can explain. Feeling further ahead than you can live.

• Radical detachment from consensus reality. Not escapism. Expansion.

• Utopian yearning grounded in deep collective grief. Pluto doesn’t bypass—it composts.

• Revolutions of perception. When your eyes adjust to the dark, what do you see?

• Soul as experiment. Who are you without the script? What if the mutation is the medicine?

Pluto’s retrograde offers no guarantees. It offers permission. To unravel, to unlearn, to rewild the way you hold reality. You are the architect of what comes next, and this moment is your initiation.

Your destiny isn’t found—it’s forged.

In the rubble. In the vision. In the terrifying freedom of not knowing—yet leaping anyway.

𓁿

NODAL NUANCES•••

This July, the lunar nodes keep drifting through the mutable mist of Pisces and the granular grit of Virgo—opposite ends of the cosmic spectrum, where soul and spreadsheet argue over who’s really in charge.

And these aren’t just any degrees. These are the metaphysical boot-camp degrees. Where life isn’t merely lived—it’s metabolized. Where every experience, every resistance, every cracked bit of meaning is raw material for becoming something slightly more mythic.

THE SOUTH NODE IN VIRGO: Discipline, Dissonance & the Delusion of Control

The South Node here is like a lifelong perfectionist who’s finally starting to wonder if the manual is outdated. You’ve spent lifetimes ironing wrinkles into reality, checking your cosmic to-do list twice, and insisting the universe behave according to your systems.

But guess what? It won’t.

This is the Virgo karma zone: hyper-functional, exquisitely discerning, but sometimes so narrowly focused that you miss the shimmering invitation scrawled across the chaos. It’s the trap of being so tuned to correctness that you forget about wholeness. So keen on getting it right, you’ve overlooked the mystery that was never meant to be solved—only witnessed.

It’s like rearranging spoons while your soul howls for poetry.

But when these degrees hit?—the hard substance becomes holy. The resistance becomes revelatory. What once felt like burden morphs into blessing—but only if you drop the compulsion to manage your life like a lab report and start engaging it like a sacred riddle.

THE NORTH NODE IN PISCES: The Infinite Ache for Union

Now turn toward Pisces. The north node beckons like a mirage at the edge of your intellect: shimmering, numinous, confusing as hell.

Here, the future isn’t planned—it’s felt. Not calculated, but sensed. It comes through dreams, through grief, through inexplicable synchronicities that ruin your carefully built timelines.

This is the path of mystics and mediums, daydreamers and dissolvers, those who walk barefoot into mystery and come back soaking wet with wisdom that has no name.

It’s not easy. It’s tidal. One moment you’re attuned to the divine, the next you’re losing yourself in someone else’s storm. You vanish. You resurrect. You try to hold shape in a world that won’t let you stay one thing for long.

But that’s the point…

You’re not meant to define your destiny—you’re meant to surrender to it. Not as an escape, but as an art. Pisces teaches that the truth isn’t always logical. Sometimes it’s wet, emotional, messy, radiant. Sometimes it’s tragic. And sometimes, it tastes like sea-salt and still leaves you whole.

THE SPIRITUAL TENSION: Between Precision & Poetry

Together, these nodes form a tightrope between exquisite order and ecstatic release. Between “I know what I’m doing” and “I feel something bigger calling.” The Virgo–Pisces axis doesn’t want to choose. It wants you to reconcile. To compost the rigidity of the past and water the roots of the unseen future.

You’re being asked to let structure dissolve just enough to allow spirit in. To bring form to the formless—but only after you’ve wept into the soil and sung into the void.

JULY NODAL THEMES•••

• Sacred labor. Reworking the raw material of your life like a karmic sculptor who isn’t afraid to sweat.

• Radical surrender. Giving up the need to understand, just enough to become something new.

• Spiritual craftsmanship. Knowing when to fix it and when to float.

• The poetry of pressure. Resistance is not the enemy—it’s the alchemical forge.

• Mysticism in motion. You won’t get the whole picture, but you will become a part of it.

This is a month of recalibration. Not with answers, but with alignment. Not with knowing, but with knowing how to be—in the paradox, in the presence, in the possibility.

You are the priest and the pilgrim.

The architect and the ocean.

The pattern and the prayer.

Let both hands shape you…

𓁿

CONCERNS OF CHIRON•••

This month, Chiron—the celestial key-bearer, wounded healer, and cosmic chiropractor of the soul—finishes walking forward just long enough to show you what you’ve been limping with. Then, on July 30, Chiron stops mid-stride and turns inward, as if to say: “Let’s go back and look at the parts you skipped.”

In Aries, Chiron isn’t interested in passive suffering or quiet reflection… these energies want the raw edges, the bold mistakes… the flailing attempts at autonomy that end in solitude. Chiron wants the personality-on-the-loose who’s been playing dress-up as an identity—and Chiron wants them to come clean.

THE BRUTAL MIRROR: SELF IN FEEDBACK LOOP FORM

Through late July, Chiron travels the tail end of Aries, a degree range that smells like adrenaline, ego-burnout, and spiritual restlessness. You may find the world feels strangely reflective—as though every interaction is a hall of mirrors bouncing your unprocessed projections right back at you.

Try to escape yourself, and the universe slaps your face onto a billboard. Try to control the narrative, and Chiron flashes the unedited footage. There’s nowhere to hide, and deep down, you don’t want to—because something ancient is stirring. Something that knows: this isn’t about shame—it’s about recognition.

You are not your distractions. You are not your curated courage. You are the pulse beneath the disguise—and Chiron wants that pulse to speak.

THE RETROGRADE STATION: DESCENT INTO THE INNER DEEP

On July 30, Chiron stations retrograde at 28° Aries—a liminal hinge between the “me” you’ve been and the one still blooming.

The medicine? It’s buried deep…

Not in logic, not in timeline, but in the subconscious gardens where your first heartbreaks took root and your greatest instincts got buried under coping strategies.

This retrograde asks you to turn your gaze inward, not with judgment, but with invitation. The shadows you’ve dismissed, the embarrassments you’ve denied, the childish impulses you’ve tried to edit out? They’re not mistakes. They’re calls. Unanswered prayers disguised as neuroses. Forgotten truths that have only ever wanted to dance in the daylight of your acceptance.

Chiron doesn’t punish. Chiron illuminates.

And this station retrograde is a sacred reminder that what’s been hidden can’t be exiled anymore. The subconscious is tired of being cast as villain—it wants to choreograph the next act.

THE SPIRITUAL FEEDBACK LOOP: FROM SELF TO SOUL

As the month unfolds, you may feel pressed to reevaluate your ideas of healing. Maybe it’s not about fixing the wound, but listening to it. Not about becoming fearless, but learning how to bow to the fear and walk anyway.

There’s a higher frequency woven through this retrograde—the quiet knowledge that you’re being watched not by judgmental gods, but by your own deeper self. The part of you that remembers where you’re going, even when the ego’s GPS starts recalculating for the hundredth time.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about intimacy with your whole self. Especially the parts that still hurt.

JULY CHIRON THEMES•••

• The mirror cracks, then reveals. What haunts you may be trying to hand you your power.

• Wound as portal. Not just pain—passage.

• The sacred return. Retrograde as a ritual descent into self-knowing.

• Unfinished business becomes a doorway. Healing isn’t linear—it spirals.

• The subconscious sings. Your deepest patterns don’t want control. They want collaboration.

This isn’t about becoming less broken. It’s about realizing how whole you were even in your ache.

Every mask you wear has already been forgiven.

Now take it off.

You’ve got a soul to remember…
