Navigating Cosmic Currents: How Saturn, Neptune, and Mercury Retrogrades Shape Our Karmic Journey..

Hola Lovely Beings,
I'm feeling a bit buzzed and somewhat disoriented as I write this because Uranus, the fifth planet to change signs this year, has transitioned from Taurus to Gemini. Both Uranus and Gemini are Air signs, which means there's a significant amount of mental energy involved. I have to admit, my mind feels like it's racing at 100 miles per hour, and it's difficult to calm my energy. That's Uranus in Gemini for you—speed, electric thought impulses, downloads, and a wired feeling.
Communication and technology of all types is about to get a huge upgrade over the next 7 years.
Uranus when it orbits the elliptical path actually wobbles. Instead of staying in a North/South Pole as it orbits it rotates on its side and East and West become its North and South - wild huh! So..hence its energy is wobbly and shaky and unpredictable, freeing and revolutionizing.
Take note what is going on in your life right now and journal for the next months to September as by then Uranus will have retrograded back into our finances and wealth sign Taurus - but more on that closer to the time! Journal unexpected events. Please be gentle with your mind energy and watch over those with mental health issues the next few months.
We are presently in a 9 year, of endings and completions, with Saturn and Neptune retrograding from 1° Aries back over the 0° Aries Point into Pisces at 29°. In late November and early December, they will move forward again across the 0° Aries Axis Point, symbolizing new beginnings and desires. Additionally, Mercury, the planet associated with our thoughts, will also go retrograde this week until August 8th.
Thus, we have Uranus channeling wired energy into Gemini, while on the other hand, many planets are moving slowly in retrograde.
2025 is a big deal as we have 5 Planets moving over 0o degree and 1o points of New Signs signaling endings and beginnings.
Retrogrades are always times of reflection, reworking, rethinking, redirecting - these are the times where we get to change our minds that often project us onto a new path from the one we thought was best for us.
The retrogrades of Saturn, Neptune, and Mercury in a 9 year of completions and karmic endings signify a period of reflection, reassessment, and potential transformation. Each planet's retrograde offers unique opportunities for spiritual growth and personal development.
Saturn Retrograde
Saturn represents structure, discipline, and responsibility. During its retrograde, we may find ourselves revisiting past lessons and responsibilities, allowing us to:
*Review timelines of Late May til now. This is a huge clue for when Saturn crosses these points again in late August and then again 15/2/26*
What has come up for you during this 7 week period?
What has inspired and urged you to action?
What doesn't feel aligned with your goals ?
Reflect on personal boundaries and limitations.
Address unresolved issues related to authority and control.
Reassess long-term goals and commitments.
How are you taking radical self responsibility for your life?
This period encourages us to take responsibility for our actions and learn from past mistakes, fostering maturity and wisdom.
Neptune Retrograde
Neptune is associated with dreams, intuition, and spirituality. It also is the planet of illusion of what is truth and what is fake.
When Neptune goes retrograde, it prompts us to:
Examine our illusions and fantasies. Our dreams in life
Enhance our intuitive abilities and spiritual practices.
Address any escapism or avoidance in our lives.
This retrograde can deepen our spiritual insights and encourage us to align more closely with our true selves.
*Neptune time lines to reflect back over. March 2025 to June...
What dreams did you want to start making a reality?
What was dissolving?
What was sparking as a tiny idea/dream?
What were you disillusioned about or what seemed too good to be true?
What feels fake in your life and no longer aligned with your energy?
Neptune will cross 0o Aries on 15/9 and then 27/1/26. Neptune is a very slow moving planet and in retrograde opens our subconscious up to our deepest intuition.
Try not to be disillusioned if you feel like you have had an enormous flurry of forward energy in the last few months only to now feel lost, directionless and confused. Allow time and space for what is emerging for you for all of this year. In all my astrology readings this year, I have described 2025 as a one step forward, two backwards year to refine what we are truly aligned with.
Keep the vision of what you want to manifest. It's coming if you allow flow and change!
By February 2026 the seeds and ideas that you are planting now will start to grow in a big way.
Mercury Retrograde 18/7-11/8
Mercury governs communication, technology, and travel. During its retrograde phase, we often experience:
Miscommunications and misunderstandings.
Rethink on contracts, big decisions.
Mercury will retrograde in Leo - reflection of matters of the heart.
Opportunities for reflection and re-evaluation of past ideas/offers
Mercury retrograde encourages us to slow down, rethink our communication styles, and clarify our intentions.
This retrograde can deepen our spiritual insights and encourage us to align more closely with our true selves.
With the unpredictable Uranus in Gemini and numerous giant planets in retrograde, it's no surprise we're feeling scattered. Although it seems overwhelming at the moment, it's important to pause, ground yourself, and avoid rushing. Allow stillness to guide you to the intuitive right answers. Only through rest and tranquility can this occur. If we're always busy, we'll miss the magical insights being offered to us.
Trust in yourself
All of my Sunday Meditation Sound Baths and Moon Circles are thoughtfully designed to align with the current Energy, offering deep rest and retreat. The next session is on August 17th, and I'll share the booking link below.
In a true Neptune retrograde fashion, I've discovered someone imitating my style and work, despite not being an Astrologer or a Womb Practitioner! While imitation is a form of flattery, I value originality, authenticity, and truth. This situation highlights the fakeness and illusion prevalent today. Be cautious about what you read and who you follow. Your true self will always recognize the truth.
Much love and thanks for reading. Feel free to like and comment.
