The cosmic currents this week weave a fascinating tale of power dynamics and unexpected romantic breakthroughs. Mercury's opposition to Pluto opens the forecast with intense communication challenges that demand clear thinking and authentic self-expression. Standing in your power becomes essential as this planetary standoff coincides with Mercury entering its retrograde shadow—creating a storyline that will evolve through mid-August.

What begins as a potential power struggle transforms midweek when love goddess Venus conjoins rebellious Uranus in Taurus. This electrifying conjunction breaks through stagnant patterns in relationships, creative pursuits, and personal values. With Uranus at the critical 29th degree, there's a sense of urgency to this liberation—expect unexpected attractions, surprising proposals, or revolutionary approaches to existing relationships that have become comfortable but uninspiring. Artists and creative souls may suddenly break free from conventional approaches, tapping into truly authentic expression.

The celestial story continues as Venus enters communicative Gemini immediately after her Uranus encounter, shifting the energy from intense transformation to social expression. New connections or freshly revitalized relationships quickly become more public, with increased communication and social interaction. This week offers the perfect cosmic conditions for exciting new beginnings that quickly integrate into our social landscape. And while these changes may feel unsettling initially, they ultimately lead to empowerment and renewal. Prepare for a week of breakthrough moments that challenge your comfort zone while opening doorways to authentic joy and connection.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
hello and welcome to Pisces moon astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hello everyone, and welcome tothe week of June 29th through
July 5th.
Oh my gosh, we are into summeralready, aren?

(00:23):
Well, the good news is I haveanother pretty good week Not
maybe as straightforwardly goodas the last couple, but pretty
good, pretty good.
So stay with me.
We're going to be talking aboutthe Mercury opposition to Pluto,
which is going to be one ofthose longer stories, because it

(00:47):
happens on the same day thatMercury enters his retrograde
shadow.
We'll talk more about that in aminute.
And then we're going to talkabout, toward the end of the
week, venus meeting up withUranus, the planet of rebellion,
unexpected change andindividuality.

(01:08):
So this is quite a week.
It's really different fromstart to finish, but it's big.
It's very, very big, and Ithink a lot of good stuff can
come from it.
So, before we get into all ofthat, thank you for being here.
I'm always so excited to sharethe stars with you and I'm just

(01:28):
really grateful for everyone wholistens.
I would like to ask you if youwould once again leave comments,
leave ratings on whatever appyou're listening to me on and
please share, do all thosethings and let's get these
numbers back up to where theywere before I got sick.
So anyway, I may still have alittle bit of a weird voice.

(01:52):
I hope you'll excuse that.
And enough of all this, let'sget into it.
So here are the specifics.
Actually, before we start thisweek, on June 28th, mercury
begins his opposition to PlutoVery, very big deal.
We'll talk about it.
But then we start this week onthe 29th, where Mercury enters

(02:13):
his retrograde shadow.
I'll talk to you about whatthat means too.
But he's entering his shadowwhile opposing Pluto.
That means he's going to goback and forth over this
territory, and so whateverstoryline starts this week yeah,
it's not going to be finishedthis week, that's for sure.
Then we get toward the otherside of the week and on July 3rd

(02:39):
we've got Venus, the goddess oflove and all good things,
sitting in the lap of rebelliousUranus.
This is super exciting,especially when we consider that
whatever love thing, whateverrelationship thing starts on the
3rd, the very next day, on July4th happy July 4th to Americans

(03:03):
.
4th, happy July 4th toAmericans Venus is going to
enter into social, social Gemini.
So whatever starts on the 3rd.
Yeah, we're going to be takingthat stuff public by the very
next day.
What else is going on in the sky?
Honestly, not a whole lot.
Those are the biggies.
The things that I'm going to betalking about today we do have

(03:26):
on July 4th.
We've got Neptune and Ariesstationing to go retrograde.
So this is a very, very bigdeal, partly because Neptune
doing anything you know I don'tlike Neptune Neptune doing
anything is a really big deal.
We'll talk about that later,not on this episode, but we will

(03:46):
talk about it.
What I do want to give you aheads up about, though, is, by
the end of the month, we aregoing to have Mercury, neptune
and Saturn all turn retrograde,oh, and Chiron, the wounded
healer, also turning retrograde,and Pluto's already retrograde.

(04:07):
So this month we are getting awhole, whole lot of backward
motion, and you know that alwaysmeans a lot of doing over and
rethinking and all of that kindof stuff.
So hold on for it.
It's a big deal.
We'll take it sort of one stepat a time, but I just wanted to
give you that little heads upthat we are heading into major,

(04:30):
major retrograde territory, butlet's start with Mercury and
Pluto, like I said on the 28th,so you know, the day before this
weekly forecast starts Mercuryis going to oppose Pluto.
That is always a power struggle, opposition standing up to some

(04:50):
power figure, power situation,power dynamic.
And Mercury is about ourthoughts and our communication.
So what may be challenged thisweek is our thinking, our
thoughts, our ideas.
We may enter the week with someauthority figure or power

(05:12):
figure really challenging someof our ideas, maybe also
challenging what we're saying orhow we're talking.
So think that thought policekind of thing.
But Mercury is actually in astronger position.
Mercury's in Leo.
Leo is a ruler.

(05:34):
Mercury's in a pretty goodposition.
He normally wouldn't bestronger than Pluto, but Pluto's
retrograde.
So first we have to considerthat we have two power positions
Pluto just because he's Pluto,he's an Aquarius retrograde and
Mercury because he's in Leo,which is also that leadership

(05:56):
energy.
So there's going to be somekind of challenge about status,
maybe like one king trying todethrone the other.
The way through this is to keepyour wits about you.
The way through this is goingto be clear communication,
confidence in your own ideas.
This is the way to battle Plutoon this one.

(06:18):
The other thing that Mercurycan be is the workplace.
So there could be problems withan authority figure at work.
So just be aware of that.
But nevertheless, however itshows up, it is going to be
conquered by clear thinking andclear, direct communication.
Stand in your power, expressyourself and you will win ish.

(06:45):
You will win ish and the reasonI say that is because, remember
, on the 29th Mercury's enteringhis retrograde shadow.
That's going to be at fourdegrees Leo.
So he's going to be facing offwith Pluto and then he's going
to keep moving forward in Leotill he hits 15 degrees in Leo.

(07:13):
Till he hits 15 degrees.
Then he's going to station andhe'll be retrograding back.
That's going to be around July17th.
He's going to retrace his stepsthrough August 11th when he
comes back to that fourth degreeof Leo.
I hope that's not too manynumbers.
I hope that all makes sense.
Just know that he's going tomove forward in Leo and then
he's going to come all the wayback to where he faced off with

(07:35):
Pluto.
We're going to feel like we'vemoved on from this power or
whatever it is, and then we'regoing to come back and have to
deal with some aspect of itagain.
Then, finally, we will moveforward and get to move on, but
he doesn't actually leave hisretrograde shadow, the final

(07:59):
piece of it, until August 25th.
So whatever is going on in this, just know that there's going
to be a little bit of a dancewith it, right?
It's not going to be somethingthat we just like one and done.
It might feel that way, however, it might feel that way, so
just know something about it iscoming back around later.

(08:20):
Oh, I do want to give you oneother little warning about this
opposition.
Pluto has to do with bringingthings that are buried deep.
He brings them into the light.
What could that mean when we'rein an opposition?
It could mean that somebody'stelling your secrets.

(08:41):
So be aware of that.
There may be some backstabbystuff in this.
One of the ways that thisperson may try to win is by
bringing out something that youdidn't mean to bring out into
the public.
So do be aware that confidencescould be betrayed.
Pluto's not a nice guy.

(09:03):
You know what I mean.
He's just not a happy camperkind of guy, and there may be
something he knows you may haveshared something with this Pluto
figure at some point that hemakes public when you didn't
want it to be so.
So that might be a little dirtytrick to watch out for.
Oh, and the other thing, though, to remember.
So let's end on a good note withPluto.

(09:25):
Well, a good, good-ish note.
Again, I'm going to go back tothe ish.
Once you're completely donewith this story, it is very
likely that you'll have gonethrough some kind of deep
transformation that's reallypositive, and when we're dealing
with power issues, thattransformation could have to do

(09:46):
with just feeling much moresecure and stable in your own
power.
So the you know silver liningreally is that usually there's a
positive transformation that'svery deep and very real and very
important that comes out ofexperiences with Pluto.
So that's the good part, okay,so, even though this is an

(10:10):
ongoing story, as I've alreadysaid, we're going to be feeling
this most intensely at the earlypart of the week.
By midweek, july 3rd, althoughmaybe even a day or two earlier,
we are going to be experiencingVenus, the goddess of love and
all good things, who's in Taurus, a sign that she rules.

(10:32):
And you know what I always saywhen a planet is in a sign of
their own rulership this is likethe queen on her throne she's
in her own kingdom, she has allof her resources available, she
is extra, extra strong.
So for Venus, that's awesome.
She's already one of thebenefic planets and with her in

(10:56):
her kingdom she's even better.
So on the third, who's shemeeting?
Rebel god, uranus.
Uranus is neither a good nor abad planet.
He brings unexpected change.
He's the rebel.
He breaks out of the ties thatbind us.
He's the nonconformist.

(11:18):
He's the planet that invites usor makes us walk to our own
beat.
So he's neither good nor bad.
This disruption that he bringscan be really, really difficult.
Actually, you know, like alittle bit, like the earth is
shaking, or it can be amazing,it really can go either way.

(11:42):
But with him connecting toVenus, I am telling you I really
think this is going to be good.
It might be shocking, bigsurprise, unexpected.
There may be that level of sortof crazy that comes with all of
that, but ultimately I'mexpecting good.
You know, venus rules allrelationships.

(12:05):
She rules women and sisters andluxury and comfort.
Especially in Taurus, she rulescomfort.
So, meeting up with Uranus, youmight find that you're
uncomfortable for a littleminute.
It's not going to be a badthing, so don't freak out, but
you might find that you've letyourself get comfortable in a

(12:28):
way that's not really good foryou.
You know how some relationshipscan be, really like no, there's
no passion, there's no sparksgoing off, but you're so sort of
just comfortable in therelationship that you don't
question it.
Or if you question it, youquestion it very quietly and you

(12:50):
just leave it alone becauseit's comfortable, it's easy.
Taurus loves that.
Uranus, however, is like no, nothaving any of this.
And Uranus is at that important29th degree.
I've told you guys before Italk about this all the time A
planet at 29 degrees is superactive.

(13:11):
He's getting ready to get outof Taurus very soon, right?
So he's feeling this like rushto like it's my last opportunity
to get all my Uranus stuff donein this sign because I'm moving
on.
So Uranus is like no, I'm notgoing to just let you sit in

(13:32):
your comfort zone.
If this relationship is boringor needs revised or needs turned
on its head some way somehow,then we're going to do that
stuff.
So there could be somediscomfort, but go with it.
I promise you ultimately thisis going to be good.
So what kind of good could webe looking at With Uranus?

(13:54):
Hard to say.
Uranus is unexpected change.
So it could be that you andyour partner have been together,
cruising along the way you arefor a certain amount of time and
then suddenly the marriageproposal comes or the hey, let's
take this to the next level orlet's revise our relationship in

(14:14):
some way and yours is theindividual and the rebel right.
So it may be like we've kind ofmade our marriage or our
relationship whatever it is,kind of just the way everybody
else does, like relationshipsare expected to be a certain way
and we've kind of gone alongwith that how?

(14:34):
Maybe we don't want it likethis anymore If we've always
been monogamous, maybe we wantan open relationship If we've
always been open, maybe we wantmonogamy and want to get the
white dress and walk the aisle.
I don't know, but it'll bechange, It'll be unexpected,
it'll be big, but it's morelikely to be the kind that goes
into the quirky zone.

(14:55):
It's less likely just to be thesort of traditional walk down
the aisle thing.
It could be, don't get me wrong.
It could be if that's differentfrom what you've been dealing
with already or how you've beennavigating your relationship
already, like no, we're notgoing to get married, blah, blah
.
You know you might decide to,but you'll probably do something

(15:17):
quirky at your wedding.
I'm telling you, probably theother thing that this could be
is somebody just coming out ofthe blue.
You know you're squeezing thetomatoes at the grocery store
and fall madly in love with theUPS guy who walks through.
It could be you know you're atthe bus stop and it ends up that

(15:39):
the person sitting next to youstrikes up a conversation and
you fall madly in love.
Right, it could also besomebody talking about
redefining relationships.
It could be somebody like youknow, that person who's been
your best friend forever andalways, all of a sudden is a
little bit more than a friend,right?

(16:01):
Oops?
Who expected that?
Well, uranus did, that's who.
Venus doesn't only rule love, soplease apply this to whatever.
Look at what house, look atwhat house is occupied by Taurus
.
This could have to do withself-identity.
Oh, and Venus also rules thingslike art.
So you artists and I know Ihave a lot of creative people

(16:22):
who listen to me you artists andwriters and actors and content
creators, all of you you mayfind that you are just ready to
bust out of the box and getreally into your own unique
voice and bring forth your veryunique, one-of-a-kind vision.

(16:44):
Maybe in the past you've been alittle bit in that rut of
trying to deliver what'sexpected, what people want,
maybe what you've always writtenor painted or created, whatever
, and suddenly you're just like,yeah, I'm not about that
anymore, I'm about this otherwhole thing and I've got a
message and it's mine and I'mgoing to get it out there, right

(17:07):
?
So this doesn't only have to beabout love relationships, but
for a lot of us it will be.
So here's another littleinteresting bit about the end of
this week.
So we get this, you know,unexpected ground shaking event
with this Venus Uranus meetupand the very next day happy 4th

(17:29):
of July for my Americanlisteners Venus moves into very
social Gemini.
This is kind of interestingbecause it follows right on the
heels of that Uranus shakeupthing that's going on.
It's almost like whateverhappens happens fast with Venus,

(17:51):
and by the very next day we'realready ready to make
announcements or introducepeople to friends and family or,
you know, be out socializing,like this new love of mine,
we're going to go, you know,have drinks with all of my
besties.
You know something like that.
There's something very socialthat kicks in right after

(18:15):
whatever the shakeup is.
The other thing that it couldmean is just lots and lots and
lots of talking, lots ofcommunication.
And you know those times and Iknow for all of us this is not
going to be new love, but it'sgoing to be.

(18:35):
For many people, if it's not newlove in the sense of a new
person, it will be a new phaseand it's going to have that
feeling of like I know we've alldone this, please tell me we've
all done this, or else I'mgoing to have that feeling of
like I know we've all done this.
Please tell me we've all donethis, or else I'm going to be
saying something reallyembarrassing.
But you know that first in lovething where you're just on the

(18:55):
phone I guess now it's texting.
Back in my day it was on thephone, we were on the phone with
each other way into the nightand you're exhausted but you
just want to keep talking andit's that.
No, you hang up.
No, you hang up first.
That thing.
Did you guys do that thing?
I did it.
Oh my gosh, so embarrassing.
Anywho, get ready to beembarrassed again, because when

(19:18):
Venus goes into Gemini, you knowGemini is social, gemini likes
to talk.
So expect a kind of whirlwind,right.
Expect a lot of getting to knoweach other kind of fast right,
because you're going to be, youknow, talking a lot, but also
just expect some fun.
Whatever this is, it goes fromthe intensity of that Uranus

(19:44):
shake up into social, into thatparty time, people time.
I kind of love it, do you loveit?
I do too.
And if it's not about love, foryou again, if it's about art,
it'll be getting together withother artists or your fans or

(20:04):
whatever it is, and sharing yourideas, talking about them,
sharing your art, whatever it is, it'll still have that vibe to
it.
Does that make sense?
I really hope it does.
So it's an intense week.
I'm not going to lie.
Uranus is no small beans.
This shakeup is going to be abig deal.
And of course, the week startswith that Pluto stuff getting

(20:27):
ready for Mercury retrograde.
But somehow maybe I'm being toooptimistic, but I don't think so
.
I really think this is big andI think that ultimately, it's
going to play out really well.
I think we're going to beempowered, I think we're going

(20:48):
to be in a new situation withwhatever this Venus aspect of
our life is, and I think we'regoing to be having fun with that
.
So what could be better really?
Anyway, I know this has gonereally long and my voice is
still really bad, so I you knowthat's probably been torture to
listen.
Thank you so much.

(21:08):
Thank you for sharing and, likeI said, rating me high and
whatever the app is, and doingall the stuff.
I'm super grateful.
I couldn't grow this programwithout you guys.
So thank you, thank you, thankyou, and until next week, go out
and seize the energies of thestars.
This is my wish for you always,and even more so when Venus is

(21:33):
involved.
So until then, I will see youon the other end.
Bye.
