Finances continue to be fantastic until June 30, 2026, but this month your usual forte, communication, assumes a particularly twisty path which attracts some infamy. Take it easy, as much as you can, during this time of your ruler Mercury in retrograde from July 18 to August 11. For there’s an excitement about you. And Venus favors your self-image until Wednesday, July 30.
New money arrangements are in the air and it’s going to go fine, except you may have to go over them again and again. Have patience!
Remember, everyone’s itchy right now, can’t be helped.
Retrograde is all about going backwards, right? Going over stuff from the past. Over and over. Re-examining. Every step, every action. Rewind the video of your life. Over and over. What really happened. Rewind as many times as you need. You must catch every detail. Can’t miss, nor skip, a beat.
Write it down and record it, if it helps. You’re here to make the record straight.
What you’ve done. What you can do better. How you can make your life better.
Then you may enjoy the new season you have created for yourself. Bravo.
A challenge is being offered to you by the universe and you must step up, like the true genius you are, and take it. Pressure is on in your community to prove your mettle. You feel this strongly. That any uncertainty or insecurity about yourself in zee public eye lifts. You take the reins firmly in hand and you go after what you want.
You do have support also in your third house. In your third house you have:
The awesome, life-giving Sun
Your ruler, brilliant thought and word planet Mercury
A new Leo Moon on Thursday, July 24
And your third house, traditionally already ruled by versatile Gemini, covers these areas in your life:
All forms of communication, particularly writing and anything involving words
The internet and all forms of social media
Thinking and mental activity
Analysis
Expression
Talking, texting, posting, messaging, emailing, etc.
Journals, blogs, newspapers, paperbacks, kindle
TV, radio
Siblings, cousins, old pals
Neighbors
Short trips in the neighborhood
Cars, bikes, buses, trains
Versatility and movement
Your ability to learn
The lesson here is about your commitment. Are you prepared to prioritize and go after what you want?
Gemini’s gestures to impress cease – and he can be exactly who he is. Libra can stop trying to please friends and social groups and just be herself. Aries can be truthful about her passions, Taurus about his parents’ origins, Cancer about finances, Leo about his maturing body, Capricorn about what she has shared, Aquarius about what agreements she made, and so on. Uncomfortable initially, but such relief.
This will be a time of reckoning for those who have allowed pride and greed to take over to the extent that they are no longer healthy. Forcing the eyes open is a painful surgery! So don’t be surprised if, prior to your deeper vision, you are in agony.
The planet of reckoning is wise Saturn, which rules Capricorn, which rules foundations.
As the sun’s power is eclipsed, the moon’s power brightens. Revealing unconscious drives, the inner movement of the world, the energy of the water on the earth: All that is ruled by the moon.
A fascinating point about the moon: It rules need.
When does need become greed, and when does addiction take over?
When does addiction become so powerful that other beings are disregarded?
When does a sociopathic disorder begin?
For the world, this will be overwhelmingly positive. After much doublespeak, the truth – no matter what it reveals – will be a great relief. August’s last week will be an eye-opener, in every sense of the word.
Every country has its secrets, but the two most highlighted during this time will be America (higher ups coming off their pedestals) and to a lesser extent Britain (the royal family.)
I end with Shakespeare – the greatest, Leo Jupiter – who always wrote of the direct connection between the heavens, stars, nature, animals, and human beings.
There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. — Carl Jung
Gemini desires will be popping up all over the place. The universe is urging you to express them – and thus yourself – as much as you can. (Sorry, but I do predict Gemini DT will tweet the tweet to end all tweets under this eclipse.)
For YOU, however, insecurity stops plaguing your career and public zone. If you’ve been waiting for a success or recognition, it comes at the end of the month. Then time to sort out your belief system. You can now be choosier about – well, about what you want to THINK ABOUT. (Gemini’s main preoccupation.)
The pressure you feel now is opportunity. Remember: frustration is the shirking of potentiality. Decide what you really want, and you hold the world in the palm of your hand. It’s not so much to hold.
Isn’t it finally time for your own private session?
Are you ready, dear Gemini? Call now. 212-631-5844.

In the mute August afternoon
They trembled to some undertone
Of music in the silver air; Great pleasure was it to be there
Till green turned duskier and the moon
Coloured the corn-sheaves like gold hair. — August by Algernon Charles Swinburne
