Welcome to July—a powerful pivot point in the year! Think of it as a transition month, and with every transition comes a chance for growth, especially spiritual growth. In numerology, July is a 7 Universal Month, which means it’s time to slow down, reflect, and tune in. When you combine this 7 energy with the 9 Universal Year we’re in, you get a major hermit mode vibe, quiet, introspective, and full of soul-searching.
🔮 Retrograde City We start the month with Pluto retrograde and end it with five planets retrograde: Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron, and Mercury. That’s a lot of cosmic review energy! These retrogrades are nudging us to ask the big questions: Who am I? What’s my purpose? What needs to shift? This energy can feel a little foggy (thanks, Neptune), but it’s also the perfect time for a reset. Slow down and let the clarity come through stillness.
💫 Neptune & Saturn Retrogrades in Aries On July 4th, Neptune goes retrograde in Aries for the first time in over 150 years! This kicks off a deep spiritual identity check. Are you who you think you are—or who you’re meant to be? A few days later, Saturn joins the retrograde party (also in Aries), adding structure and realness to that dreamy Neptunian energy. These two together can feel heavy, so give yourself plenty of downtime. Rest is productive this month!
💖 Venus in Gemini = Lightness & Abundance Also on July 4th, Venus moves into Gemini bringing playful, flirty, abundant vibes. This is the bright, bubbly energy we need to balance the retrograde intensity. You’ll crave variety, connection, and new ideas, especially in love 💕 and money 💰. It's a great time to make empowered money decisions and to learn something new. And if you’re a Gemini? Get ready to shine—this transit makes you extra magnetic.
🌈 How to Ride the Waves With such up-and-down energy, having a spiritual plan this month is everything. One minute you’re on top of the world, the next you’re questioning everything. That’s okay! Build in time for journaling, breathwork, meditating, or even trying something new like reiki, a sound bath, or a float tank. Let this be the month you let go of outdated ideas about who you’re supposed to be—and fully step into who you really are. ✨
