I’m writing about the Saturn and Neptune conjunction this month. I’ve already commented a little about it, such as when Neptune arrived in Aries, at the end of March, for example. Saturn entered Aries in late May. For several months this year Saturn has been catching up to Neptune in Pisces. This month they are stationing in Aries, going retrograde, which means they are just sitting there. You know the station means highly concentrated energies are at work. Aries people and possibly the other cardinal signs will be affected. At Halloween the two of them will back up into Pisces again for a while.
Here we have three lovely conjunctions this summer, the Sun with Jupiter, Venus with Uranus and Saturn with Neptune.
Saturn and Neptune are in a square to the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer. That makes things interesting, too. The Sun moves out of the orb soon enough but the square from Jupiter still has an effect for the whole month. Depending on your situation, the future may look promising but what you hope for may not happen. Not yet. There are delays or obstacles. Your vision is cloudy. You may run out of steam. Don’t be disillusioned or discouraged, however, be patient and keep trying. In time Jupiter will bring good things.
Uranus enters Gemini on July 7. He will retrograde back into Taurus November 7, and re-enter Gemini in April 2026. This brings unexpected changes and shifts in communications, information and technology. There has already been upheaval in these fields. Uranus always being in a hurry, ahead of schedule, this is no surprise. The rate of change has been exponential. The world is nothing like it was fifty years ago. Uranus brings surprises and radical developments. Tomorrow you may have to throw out your old phone and upgrade to a new one. Information systems and social media are changing. Be prepared to adapt or find new solutions.
