Last month, Saturn formed a square (90-degree angle) to Uranus for the second time. Saturn and Uranus move slowly, they remain in technical orb for long periods and trigger easily by faster moving planets. This month the agitators will be Mars and Venus.
The stability and structure of Saturn reflect our restrictions, limitations, and the specific rules of life and society. Contrarily, Uranus is the planet of freedom and progress. When they are squared, Uranus is concerned with smashing Saturnian order to create doorways for life to be more exciting, forward-thinking, with a view towards the future rather than the present or the past.
When Saturn is activated we tend to get stressed and run to our tried-and-true comfort zones. When Saturn squares Uranus, one of its most apparent manifestations is that our "comfort zones" no longer work for us, often throwing us into chaos. This Saturn Uranus square is a good time to look at your "comfort zones" and decide whether they are effective. The area that needs change will become very apparent and you can either take the easy road and do it yourself, or you can take the hard road and the Saturn-Uranus square will play havoc in your life. Either way, the result is being set free.
This month, Mars and Venus get in on the action by triggering both planets. In the case of Mars, Saturn square Uranus will work through your frustrations. Look at where you feel the most frustrated and review ways of changing it. For Venus, Saturn square Uranus works through your relationships. Are your relationships working for you? If not, you may need to disengage from them and create new connections that align with who you are now.

Lunar Magic
New Moon in Cancer:
The peak of Cancer season occurs on July 9 with the New Moon. Now, unlike the last New Moon that was a solar eclipse, this New Moon, you are free to do whatever magic you want, so get your toolkit out; it's time to rock n' roll.
The New Moon in Cancer is about new beginnings in Cancer's domain – home, family, security, and even fertility. It's a great time to do protection magic, financial magic, and if you want to add an addition (either through pregnancy or modifying your home), this would be an excellent New Moon to do it.

Full Moon in Aquarius:
This month's Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius, and in many ways, mimics the current Saturn-Uranus square configuration that is active throughout 2021. This Full Moon cycle is excellent for breaking through stagnant situations, developing better friendships, expanding your social circle, and opening yourself up to new experiences.

Weekly Breakdown:
June 28, 2021 – July 4, 2021
This week features two planetary aspects, but these two are quite the potent pair – Mercury opposes Saturn followed by Mars square Uranus.
At the beginning of the week, the Moon moves through sensitive Pisces. This is a great time to work on creative projects or spiritually related activities. The Moon conjoins Jupiter on Monday, and a positive and optimistic spirit should fill the air. On Wednesday, the Moon conjoins Neptune, so expect a low energy day and focus on projects that do not require heavy lifting.
Thursday begins a tense cycle that should last through the weekend. First up, Mars opposes Saturn. Mars-Saturn is a frustrating aspect that resembles driving with the breaks on. You may feel that outside influences are blocking you from getting what you want. Relationships may also be an issue if you are not getting your needs met. All this spills over into Saturday when Mars squares Uranus. Mars square Uranus is a highly explosive aspect. Arguments, disagreements, and the urge to break free of stagnant situations may erupt at any point, so be on guard and be as proactive as possible.
Recommended Candles: Stability, Emotional Balance, Tranquility, Spiritual Cleansing
July 5, 2021 – July 11, 2021
Whereas last week we only had two aspects to work with. This week we have four aspects, a New Moon in Cancer and a sign change.
The brightest spot of the week happens on Monday when the Sun in Cancer sextiles Uranus. This aspect makes you curious, and you may find that you are interested in new things. It's a powerful time to make productive changes to create a better future because Saturn's restrictions don't influence the Sun. Use this time to connect with people you find interesting and exciting, but don't get too crazy.
Tuesday through Friday are going to be brutal as Venus tangles with Saturn and Uranus. Relationships may be problematic, and if you feel stifled or distanced from your significant other, there may be an urge to break free. Be careful if you encounter the devil with the blue dress (or suit) on.
Finally, this weekend, Mercury moves out of Gemini and into Cancer. Your feelings will need to be expressed, and you will understand the needs of others. Creative spontaneity may also occur with Mercury in the sign of the crab.
Recommended Candles: Fire/Energy and Will, Adam and Eve, Heart, Emotional Balance, and New Moon Astro Magic
July 12, 2021 – July 18, 2021
Once again, the second full week of July is fantastic at the start of the week, but this weekend, batten down the hatches as the Sun opposes Pluto.
Monday brings us Mercury trine Jupiter. Mercury trine Jupiter is excellent for business negotiations, strategy sessions, and inspiring conversations. If you need to sign contracts or secure a big deal, you should do it while this aspect is active. Mercury trine Jupiter dovetails into Venus conjunct Mars in Leo. Although love is in the air this week, when combined with Mercury-Jupiter, expect great conversations and discussions about the future. It's a great week to plan a wedding.
On Thursday, the Sun makes a lovely trine to Neptune in Pisces. Spiritual matters and connecting with your inner self highlight the middle of the week. You will also find that you are more empathic and sensitive to the needs of others.
This weekend will bring out the nasties in full force as the Sun opposes Pluto. Expect intense encounters with others. Avoid trying to control situations that go awry; it will only make matters worse.

July 19, 2021 – July 25, 2021
This week is an astrological traffic jam with four planetary aspects, a Full Moon, and two sign changes.
We start the week off with a lovely sextile between Mercury and Uranus. It's a great time to solve problems, seek answers to pressing concerns, and break away from the ordinary routine. Mercury sextile Uranus likes to discover new things, engage with new people, and feel excited by life. It's a great day for a trip to the local hangout to spend time with your crew.
On Wednesday, Venus moves out of Leo and into Virgo. Venus is not happy with the sign of the Virgin (for obvious reasons), and she detests being bogged down by pesky details. While Venus is in Virgo, you will need to seek intellectual stimulation from your partners, and boorish or brutish behaviors will annoy you. However, Venus in Virgo urges us to be kind to others with an extra dose of helpfulness.
We have our second sign change on Thursday when the Sun exits Cancer and heads into Leo, the sign he rules. It's time to focus on what makes you special and unique.
Finally, this weekend, Mercury opposes Pluto. Please pay close attention to your conversations with others because they may be laced with propaganda and hidden agendas. Avoid doing anything against your will. Also, think twice before making an impulsive decision.
Recommended Candles: Full Moon Astro Magic, Answers (Chakra Magic), Inner Beauty, Truth and Justice, and Jinx Removing Blessing Kit.
July 26, 2021 – August 1, 2021
The last week of July is interesting, with three sign changes and a challenging aspect at the end of the week. In case you have not already noticed, every weekend in July is challenging.
Mercury moves out of Cancer and joins the Sun in Leo on Tuesday. You will find that you need to express yourself to others and make your point of view known. You will notice that stories and personalized meaning will color the experiences you have. Additionally, you will have a desire to make a personal contribution to everything you do.
Midweek, before Mars joins Venus in Virgo (he is not happy there either), he opposes Jupiter. It's an auspicious time to put extra effort into projects because success is pretty much ensured. However, avoid acting too rashly when making decisions because the same energy that leads you to succeed can also make you look foolish.
Finally, this weekend, Mercury opposes Saturn in Aquarius. Push away negative thoughts as they occur and try to avoid depressing mindsets. Instead, focus on projects that need attention and detail.
Recommended Candles: Everything and Then Some, Heart (Chakra Magic), Success, and Heart.
