ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS
For some of you, recognition will be easy, especially if you have strong energies in the sign of Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. For others, doing things behind the scenes is more comfortable; the end result is the only action you seek. This will be especially true if you have strong energies in the signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. If you have strong energies in the signs of Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, you just may go your own way while maintaining a skeptical attitude about those indi- viduals trying to influence you to their way of thinking. Or, if you have strong energies in the signs of Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, you may try to understand the situation and find the best way to take advantage of it. When Jupiter enters the sign of Leo, it means another planet is in the early degrees of its sign. The other planets also in their early de- grees are Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. So starting on July 15 th , these planets create a dance with each other, representing an underlying en- ergy impacting the next several years. The first dance partners are Uranus in Gemini and Neptune retro - grade in Aries. The dance they create is that of a sextile aspect between the two planets. Technically, the dance between Uranus and Neptune started on August 28, 2025, and will continue until at least June 6, 2027. What this means is unexpected situations or information (Ura - nus) will surface from the shadow behind the curtain (Neptune). Or, stated another way, it will be more difficult to hold back information because there’s always a leak. Furthermore, when you think you don’t know the answer or how to proceed, something occurs to reveal the information or show you the path. This unexpected help will come from sources you least expect. When this happens, it’s important to pay attention. Ignoring what you see or hear in this case could cause problems later. It’s almost as if you are being protected in a world that feels topsy-turvy. The next dance occurs between Uranus and Pluto retrograde on July 17, 2026, and continues until May 9, 2028. This dance is represent - ed by the trine aspect. While Uranus still represents the unexpected
entering your life, Pluto represents passion that may overcome logic. Uranus also represents external sources pushing you into potential ac - tions, while Pluto represents internal fire that binds you to your belief systems. In the positive, you may experience an “aha” moment: that unexpected insight into a circumstance or individual that explains something you’ve been pondering for some time. In the negative, you may decide to forgo logic and consequences to grab what you believe is due to you no matter what the cost. Trines make things, either good or bad, easier to happen. But if you take the time to consider the con - sequences, you’ll be able to gain more psychological insight; and you’ll be able to take this insight and bring the positive into your life. Jupiter joins the dance briefly, but in rapid fire, changing the dance from a slow pace to a fast tempo. On July 20 th , Jupiter forms a trine to Neptune retrograde and an opposition to Pluto while on July 21 st , Jupiter forms a sextile to Uranus. There is such a strong desire to move into situations quickly when Jupiter is in Leo. Also your pride is involved because there’s a tenden - cy to take things personally. This can cause difficulties if you make a decision based on your personal pride. When Jupiter forms the trine to Neptune retrograde, you don’t have all the facts. Although you may be inspired to take risks, you may not understand what those risks mean to you. Meanwhile, your passion is extremely high when Jupiter forms the opposition to Pluto retrograde. You may take actions driven by that passion to the point where you don’t consider matters logically. This causes stumbling where you need to make some important changes in your life. This sense to rush into situations can be compounded when Jupi- ter forms the sextile to Uranus. You feel optimistic that results can be achieved, yet you may not consider all the consequences of those achievements. It’s best, if at all possible, to slow down this dance. On July 25, 2026, the dance returns to a slower tempo where you
