July is not a quiet month. It starts with sudden movement, opens into rare outer-planet support, and ends with one of the most potent days of the Jupiter in Leo cycle. Here is what is actually worth tracking:

July 7: Neptune stations retrograde in Aries
The dream world turns inward. This is where illusions, intuition, spiritual sensitivity, and unclear desires begin to shift from the outside world back into your inner life. If something feels blurry, do not rush to define it yet. Let the fog show you what your body already knows.

July 14: New Moon in Cancer
A tender emotional reset. This new moon is about safety, home, nourishment, and the kind of beginning that cannot be forced. Pay attention to what helps your nervous system soften. That is probably where the next seed wants to grow.

July 18 to 21: Rare breakthrough window
Uranus trines Pluto on July 18, the rare outer-planet flow peaks around July 19, and Jupiter sextiles Uranus on July 21. This is the most future-facing window of the month: breakthroughs, opportunities, unexpected openings, and a feeling that life can move differently. Do not over-plan it. Follow the opening that feels freeing.

July 22 to 23: Leo season begins + Mercury stations direct
The Sun enters Leo on July 22, and Mercury stations direct in Cancer on July 23. After weeks of emotional review, communication slowly begins to clear. Confidence comes back, but not all at once. Let yourself re-enter the world with more warmth and less urgency.

July 26: Saturn stations retrograde + the Nodes shift into Aquarius and Leo
This is a major karmic pivot. Saturn retrograde asks you to review pressure, responsibility, structure, and boundaries. The Nodes shifting into Aquarius and Leo open a new chapter around belonging, individuality, visibility, and the future you are choosing.

July 29: Aquarius Full Moon + Sun conjunct Jupiter in Leo
One of the biggest days of the month. The Aquarius Full Moon illuminates where you have outgrown old groups, roles, or versions of yourself. At the same time, the Sun meets Jupiter in Leo, amplifying confidence, creativity, visibility, and life force. Release what makes you shrink. Move toward what lets you take up space.

Hello guys, I’m making quite a bold observation based on the 3 Gemini risings I have in my life, both men and women-

They’re all quite short 5’4-5’6.

Any Gemini risings out there or friends of yours who you can say the same about ?

Every fortnight (perhaps even more frequent than that) there'll be posts in astrology subs that are inquiring about the subject matter indicated. Before I get into explaining this through astrology, I want to throw a disclaimer: this post is not making an excuse for any extreme obsession by partners/others, rather it's purposed to alert you about the magnetic placements that you may not be aware of, and that the placements are what they are regardless of your dismissal/unawareness of their impact

First and foremost, the person who is obsessing over you may just be a possessive/obsessive/controlling person: those placements will be outlined in another post, but this is about YOU the recipient of said obsession, not the giver.

The ultimate answer is that most of you aren't aware of how attractive/magnetic you are. I can just stop there but that won't be fair so let's get into further astrological specifics

1️⃣Typical scorpio placements

The common interpretation of scorpio is the sign that governs the genitals: both medical and natal astrology associate that sign to sex in a lot of ways. People that have strong scorpio placements give off an intense sexual aura even though they don't mean to come across like that. (such strong placements can also make the person seem flirtatious even when they aren't) by "strong scorpio placements" I mean the following:

(b)scorpio stellium (involved planets should be within 3° of each other, otherwise the more split apart they are, the weaker the stellium) (c)The ascendant in scorpio (the big 3, or at least 2 out of your big 3, in scorpio is a stronger placement than just the ascendant alone)

As vain/superficial as it sounds for that to be a factor of obsession: it should be acknowledged that it's not a common thing (for those who require such a partner) to find a bedroom that barely loses its spark

*people with strong scorpio placements will note very positive feedback about them when it comes to the bedroom. Some mates can find them to be too centralized on sensual/sexual encounters, but that's another topic altogether.

2️⃣The 5th and 8th houses

The 5th house is about recreation/hobbies/recreation/entertainment/leisure/pleasures, hence it's also associated with one's children and sexual escapades. On the other hand the 8th house practically belongs to scorpio so the aforementioned traits of scorpio are also applied there. People that have a stellium in one or both houses not only exude sexual aura, they also get very positive feedback in the bedroom

(b)People with 5H and/or 8H stellium + Sun/ascendant/Moon in Leo/scorpio are an upper tier of the above

(c)those with sun/moon in either or both houses + Leo/scorpio Ascendant are also likely to have a sensual/sexual vibe, hence draw attachment/obsession from others

(d)People with a Leo stellium also exude same traits

3️⃣Placements that suggest beauty (or/and pleasant personality)

Venus is associated with good looks: venus' strong alignments to mercury and the ascendant gift a person with beauty and/or a pleasant personality, especially when the chart has placements between mercury-ascendant-venus. It should be noted that planets behave differently depending on the sign they're in and their aspects to other planets, so some people with Venus-Asc placement will exude more beauty than others with the same placement..

(ii)There are also other ascendant placements that also suggests certain body structures that would be alluring for others, but anatomy/physiology is in the genre of medical astrology which is a topic for another day

4️⃣ Potency of planets on/near the MC

The bottom 180° of a chart is where planets are least active, compared to the top 180°, especially the part that the MC encompasses, which is the most potent part of a chart. Planets that are on/near the MC have the most influence in one's life because that is the highest point of the chart, therefore people with the following placements on/near the MC will be very attractive: (a)venus (especially in exaltation/rulership) (b)planets in scorpio (c)planets in Leo

It's long been speculated that Taylor Swift either consults an astrologer or personally uses astrology to time various career moves, but as far as I know this has never been confirmed.

If today is truly the big day, I would be surprised if she did. With an exact Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini still in proximity to the nodal bendings, ruled by a retrograde Mercury in Cancer, as Jupiter has exited its exaltation in Cancer (a placement both she and Travis Kelce have in their natal charts), and just as the Sun is decimated by a superior square from a fallen Saturn in Aries... none of this screams "auspicious" to me, quite the contrary in fact.

Of course, transits are just one consideration. Without conclusively knowing their birth times, we don't know their houses, and therefore we don't know which planets/houses are emphasized this year. We do see the moon transiting late Aquarius today where both have their North Nodes, so perhaps that's a positive. I do like seeing both benefics in Leo too, mostly insulated from the chaotic energies elsewhere in the sky (other than the Jupiter-Chiron square). If the benefics are angular during the exact moment of matrimony, that could certainly help offset some of these other aspects, although I don't love that Chiron square.

At first I didn't love to see Venus so close to both of their natal South Nodes as well as the transiting South Node, but actually, this could be a good alignment, since marriage does require releasing some extent of oneself in order to enter into a union.

I would have thought the recent Venus/Jupiter conjunction would have been the perfect time to tie the knot. And who knows, maybe they secretly did? But as public figures, I would think the day understood on the collective level as the day of marriage (apparently, today) would still carry more weight. Maybe not?

I also would be concerned with mishaps and disruptions during the event itself, given the Mars/Uranus energy being so prominent along with the Mercury retrograde.

Anyway, I do wish her the best on this special occasion and hope everything goes perfectly well and is the wedding of her dreams. It just wouldn't personally be my top choice of planetary alignments.

​

I’ve heard this quite a few times, that specially after someone’s saturn return, their life in general would get better. especially those who have had a tough teen/ young adulthood. Is there any truth to this?

I turned 40 in May and it's a 5th house profection year for me, which feels like a relief. It's been a rough couple of years and something feels like it's lifting from me. Like looking into my bag of fucks and saying, "I swore I had at least one more fuck in here!" and then turning it inside out and confirming there are indeed no more fucks in it.

The further into the year I get the more I just feel like I can't keep doing the same sad things anymore. Things are starting to feel fun again.

But also my daughter is 14 almost 15 and there's a ton of stress there right now that hasn't really been there before and that really only ramped up as we got into the summer. So, the kid thing is part of it too, I'm just realizing as I type this...

No advice needed, just telling a story. <3

The last two years have been hell. I'll skip the details because it's too much, but the crux of the story is that I started getting divorced summer 2024 and still haven't really gotten completely divorced. We had a family (he helped me raise my kid) and a home and everything, and were together nearly ten years but things went how they do sometimes. We've been separated for two years.

It's been back and forth with both of us for the last two years, hence why the divorce was never finalized. Us not working didn't negate that we'd had a nice life and a nice little family. We've both wanted to get back together and try again — at some periods more than others — but doubt, fear, mistrust, and resentment has stood in the way.

Now, I'm the clinger. Taurus sun here. Neptune in the 4th in Capricorn holding an exalted Mars trine Sun. I can't let shit go, even when it's not great for me. I'll cling to family just because it's family and totally black out or mentally erase things that felt bad and wear rose-colored glasses just to avoid change.

He can be a clinger too, but he's a Capricorn stellium with an Aries moon in the 4th trine Pluto. He can let things go and mourn and grieve and move forward where I can't, really, without feeling like I'm going to fall apart.

For the last two years, we've had a cycle.

Friendly, talking, hanging out (everything's fine, everything's fine) — fracture/talk/feelings/etc.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

It happens because we both just sit on our hands, for the most part, instead of just making a decision. We don't want to stop being close but we're too raw to be vulnerable with each other. I don't take much action towards moving ahead with getting the family back together because a part of me is waiting for him to fight. And then he takes no action for basically the same reason.

I'm not venting or complaining here. I'm just explaining how it goes. I take responsibility for my part.

The astrology that got me this time is this:

He's a Cap rising. I'm Libra rising. Currently we have Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini, so, house 5/6 for him (depending on the system).

His DC is in Cancer and Mercury just went rx in the latter degrees of it. Mercury is applying a square to his Aries moon/Jupiter conjunction, trine to his Scorpio Mars, a trine to his north node in Pisces, and a square to his MC.

For me, Mars/Uranus is in my 9th, applying a conjunction to my chart ruler Venus (conjunct Chrion and Lilith) and an opposition to my natal Saturn. Saturn rules my Capricorn 4th house (where, in synastry, his AC and stellium live in my chart), and I have Mars exalted there. Mercury RX is applying an opposition to my Mars, which also happens to rule my Aries DC/7th house.

I look at all this and think ... I know what's about to happen. But sometimes it also doesn't. I love astrology but I still look at every transit like, hm. We'll see. Who cares. Might all be fake, I don't know.

But nope. Last night, less than a week since Mercury went RX in his 7th, it happened like I knew it would. Something triggered him earlier in the day (not from me, but someone else) that led to him quietly ruminating all day, never saying anything, until around 8:30 that night he starts sending me a barrage of texts about all this stuff from the last year, and that he's done, etc. Sign the papers, so on.

I just listen and read. I want to react but I know better now. I just tell him I want time to think about all this rather than react to it so to give me the night, which he does.

He sends me one more text at almost 2am about another thing I didn't know about that hurt him, that he'd never talked about.

Then this morning he just sends me a heart. Like none of that ever happened.

I also reflected on current transits for myself and thought about my feelings. Mars/Uranus are making me feel bolstered approaching my chart ruler and opposing Saturn. Mercury rx opposing natal Capricorn Mars is inspiring me to slow down and think. (My natal Mercury is in Aries trine natal Uranus so ... I can be reactive.)

Anyway ...

... yeah I just laid in bed and thought like ...

... fucking astrology, man.

Hey. I normally don’t take Astrology too seriously i’ve always viewed it as a fun thing to read about but that it had a lot of general information that applies to a lot of people.
Then my cousin informed me that everybody actually has 3 signs and we looked mine up and it describes me to a tee.. almost scarily so. However I’m a bit confused because from what i’ve always understood Leo and Scorpio are basically the opposite signs. So how does my Leo Sun reconcile with a double Scorpio pairing?
I’d love any and all information and insight about what my sign combo means for myself and the compatibility implications that that may have romantically with the combination I stated above — November Female Scorpio with Pisces moon and Sagittarius rising.

While I truly believe that astrology can answer many of life's mysteries and is a tool that can help people. I also believe that what's the point of spending hundreds of hours on something if you can't use it to your own benefit to answer some of life's unanswerable mysteries. One of which I do believe I have the answer to today: would Princess Diana have enjoyed Twilight?

Unfortunately, I think the answer is a resounding no.

First and foremost, so that you can recreate this chart yourself and judge it by its own merits, here are the times I've used:

https://preview.redd.it/pqemwdbiooah1.png?width=972&format=png&auto=webp&s=f27f42fbbcba85a7e9f8003dedeeef35b7178753

I hope to god I'm wrong about this. (Also, happy birthday solar return to the People's Princess, I just noticed the day.)

As for Twilight's birth time, I chose Los Angeles because that's where my mom told me movies are made, and 21:00 because that's midnight on the east coast, and as far as my newspaper.com subscription could show me, the only places that were showing midnight releases of the first Twilight movie were North America.

Princess Di is the inner wheel.

So, first and foremost is what stands out to me is the obvious-- she is a day chart, and this is a movie about vampires. You don't need a PhD to put together what that means. (And no, in this instance, I do not think it would result in sparkling.) Joking aside-- Mars is sitting at the top of her 10H Virgo as her greater malefic, directly squaring Twilight's sun, which sits at the anaretic degree in her 12th house Scorpio. I think she would find the movie deeply aggravating.

Now, in theory, that Mars answers to a Cancer Mercury that is conjunct her sun in 8H (which is then routed to her 3H Moon in Aqua, terminating with 2H Saturn domicile in Cap.) Those two water suns trine by sign. That should be supportive, right?

Not so fast.

I do not think an 8 house/12 house Cancer/Scorpio combo work. I say that as a 4H Scorpio sun, who gets deeply annoyed by too much Cancer in a chart (my 12H) because they want everyone to get along and be kind. I suspect it goes the same way, as my Cancer friend tells me I can be too mean. (She is most likely right, but also, she should shut up.) So off the bat, there is a fundamental misalignment between the soul and communication style of Twilight and Princess Di's--which also gets routed through her Mars, implying she would outwardly find it aggrevating.

It breaks my heart. I simply do not see how she would see the magic, wonder, and majesty of the line "hold on tight spider monkey."

Is it because she would have been a 47-year-old aristocratic woman seeing a movie meant for teenage girls? No. It's astrology.

Now let's look at the Venuses-- which can be a good sign of working together, and a mutual enjoyment. Princess Di has a great one! In Venus, domicile Taurus, 6H. You know what, she really did have a heart made for service. Unfortunately, Twilight has a heart made for wildly inappropriate judgment, which is what makes it so good. Venus Cap, conjunct with Jupiter by sign, who is on the fritz since he's in Fall.

Now, normally I hate Pluto because he's an annoying nepo baby whose whole thing is everything he touches turns to shit, and we're supposed to be in awe of that because why? Like, he could have picked anything in the whole galaxy to be, and he chose to be an annoying edgelord. Cool. However, in the Twilight chart he's doing something amazing, because he's basically making Jupiter's judgment really, really bad. (TL/DR the dispositor chain ends with Mars in Sag, which gets pushed back to Jupiter. Pluto is also in Sag, Pluto's whole thing is, he mucks up the sign/ruler wherever he is. Which is amazing, because that's Jupiter absolutely telling you not only is it a good idea to get a face tattoo, you should live stream it, too. Please note this is only my personal theory and not in any verified sources, unless you count me screaming on Reddit a verified source, then yes, it is VERY verified.) With that in mind, I do not think steady Eddie abundance mindset Venus would fuck with "yes, you should call your ex to tell him you're better than his current wife, but only if you've been drinking " Venus Cap (I exaggerate a little here.) Why is that Cap Venus like that? Twilight's Cap benefic placements are in each other's bounds, so they feed off each other even more-- so Venus is getting Jupiter's full Pluto influence. It explains why the movie is so unhinged and yet, compelling.

But Cap is Di's 2nd house, ruled by her in-domicile lesser malefic Saturn. She would simply be horrified at what Twilight's grubby benefics would be doing in her proper, well appropriated 2nd House, pocketing her fine silverware to sell for scrap metal so they can buy black market fireworks to go set off behind he police station. (Again, I am exaggerating a little bit here. But this is most likely how Princess Diana would see this combo, with Pluto's involvement.) Her Pluto is in Virgo 10H, so the long and short of it is that I think it made her a bad judge of character/get judged harshly on occasion. Which. Duh.

Finally, Diana was a Sag 1H, ruled by a Jupiter in Aquarius in 3H. (Who in turn is ruled by that horrified Saturn in 2H. Even retrograde and thus, a little wobbly, he still would simply not be able to organize the chaos of the gremlin benefics from Twilight.) The fact that Twilight's Neptune is in her 3H (along with the North Node and Chiron) suggests that while perhaps Twilight could heal her (like it healed many, nay, all of us) the BS fog and confusion Neptune loves to send out because you cannot get a straight answer out of him ever, most likely would make her not enjoy the experience. (On the first viewing. Perhaps on the second she would be able to open her heart more to the film?)

For all these reasons I suspect Princess Diana would have not enjoyed Twilight. I am, however, desperately open towards being wrong if anyone else sees something different.
