August 11-12: The most auspicious, loving, and joyful alignment in 2025, is the triple conjunction of Venus, Jupiter, and the bright star Sirius, of spiritual illumination, fame, and success.
In late July or early August, the mighty constellation Orion the Hunter returns to the east before dawn. The Hunter rises on his side, with his 3 prominent Belt stars pointing straight up.
"The impact of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction is weighing heavily on the micro and macro levels. With feelings of disorientation, disillusionment, anxiety, & fear growing at the individual level, it is no wonder that global affairs and financial markets are also in disarray." ~RM
Return of Orion the Hunter, ghost of the summer dawn
In late July and early August, look east as darkness gives way to morning dawn for Orion the Hunter, one of the sky’s easiest-to-spot constellations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIir...

On July 26, the very thin waxing crescent moon will float low above the western horizon soon after sunset. It’ll lie close to the bright star Regulus. Then, on the following evening, July 27, it will hang between Regulus and Mars.

Over the next few days, a Venus-Mars square suggests a dynamic & passionate energy- that brings an intense drive in matters of love & relationships, as well as a strong desire for pleasure & excitement- which leads to powerful attractions but also potential conflicts if not managed with care.
#LeoSeason starts tomorrow, and it's a good time to remember that everybody is a star. The Sun is dignified in Leo, its own sign and domicile- which is a way of saying, in its best possible position to shine, and find fulfillment.
The waning crescent Moon in the dawn passes Venus, then Jupiter. Look before or during early dawn, while the sky is still dark, to spot the horntips of Taurus a well as the rest of Taurus off the frame to the upper right. Then wait a bit for rising Jupiter, & fainter orange Betelgeuse to its right.
On July 31 (halfway point of the retrograde period), the Mercury cazimi (9° Leo) is an auspicious moment, when Mercury's qualities are purified, strengthened, and greatly illuminated.

On July 19 before sunrise, the waning crescent moon will be high in the sky with the lit portion of the moon pointing toward Venus. The ruddy star Aldebaran will be near Venus. And the Pleiades star cluster will glitter between the moon and Venus.
This Mercury Rx occurs in Leo, the sign of kings. And will thus be esp. relevant to kings, and political leaders. Moreover, Mercury will be retrograde in Trump's natal 12th house- the house of secret enemies, & self-undoing.

The annual transit of the Sun thru his 12th house is July 21 to Aug. 21.
"The value of the Divinatory Arts is not that they cause future events, or even reveal the mind of God, but that they sharpen our own interpretive acumen, allowing us to experience the shapes of things to come at an added level of depth. Divination is a celebration of pattern..." ~David Cowles
Mercury retrograde (7/18 - 8/11) has entered the chat...

“Mercury retrograde: the universe’s way of reminding us to always have a sense of humor and a backup plan.”

“Mercury retrograde is proof that the universe has a sense of humor. It just so happens to be a twisted, ironic kind of humor.”
