Lucky Color of the Day

Lucky color of July 7, 2025

Monarch Orange represents the spiritual evolution and cosmic connection through one’s past lifetimes, or the lifetimes of their ancestors. It symbolizes the guiding light that directs one to their highest spiritual truth, and the internal compass that we all have that never ceases to point us in the right direction.  Monarch Orange is a source of inspiration, hope, and guiding light to help bring you back to your essential self and the core of your being.

uranus into gemini!!

there is a lot of fearmongering around this ingress and to be honest, the grain of truth in it makes a good reason BUT everything always has its positives and silver linings too. as a taurus and generally very fixed-sign person i frequently have to remind myself that without change, nothing would ever happen. certainly nothing good would ever happen. so it's our responsibility to *use* these transits for *good* as much as possible. it's undeniable that globally times are hard, and this is a much more global transit than a personal one. but global affairs are made by individual persons; we all play a part.

idle predictions for the next 7ish years:

AI developments for better or worse, especially LLMs and neural networks. i would like to see them hallucinate less, and i would like for people to use them more responsibly. on the other hand it's just as possible that they continue to be misused etc. because people are people, and popular AI models make that easy.

more plane/flight issues: gemini being an air sign makes me think this is likely. would love, in the US, for the FAA and air traffic controller shortages to be fixed, but just as (or more) likely is that the situation continues to deteriorate.

grid problems continue/worsen. power outages, internet outages, cellular service outages, etc. this could be due to human behaviors or to events like solar flares or natural disasters.

i have pointed out before, as many are doing online, that the last time uranus was here was WW2. so is this going to be a repeat of WW2? no, history doesn't repeat itself so much as it rhymes. uranus was not in gemini for WW1 either. while we're not officially WW3 you can see similarities in world conflicts that already began before this ingress, long before it in some cases. those rhymes and echoes have already begun. WW2 also had *various other placements* that are not necessarily occurring this time around. so don't live in too much fear but absolutely do take it all seriously because the outer-planet-combo we are in is SERIOUS - and it can be used for bad, but it can also be used for good. we have to do this as a species. it is not personal astrology.

my best advice as always is that even while horrible things happen (and they are always happening, alas) good things are simultaneously also happening. don't ignore them. enjoy them, amplify them.

The Moon in the chart will tell you:

What makes you feel fulfilled

What can nourish you

What brings you a sense of safety

What brings you fear and anxiety

What you hunger for

What you are protective over

What are your vulnerabilities

What you cling to

What can make a deep imprint on you

What you're instinctively drawn to

How you react instinctively

How you can soothe yourself

How you care and nourish

How you feel the world around you

Where you can find the source of your creativity

Where memories reside inside you

Where your needs stem from

Where you can't apply logic to

Where you receive from others

Where you feel like a child and need to grow up

I hope the second half of this year is yours. Fully. Freely. Finally.

An Astrological (Mini-)Glossary: Thingies

Luminaries: the Sun and the Moon. Sometimes also called “the lights.” We can get an excellent “bare bones” idea of a person based on their Sun and Moon, and the interrelationship between them. And, looking at the luminaries’ cycle in the progressed chart is kind of a “TL;DR” or “Cliff’s Notes” version of your whole life.

The one astrological transit-type thing I always try to be aware of, on a daily basis, is what the Sun and Moon are doing at any given moment - in a way, it is a kind of “what time of the month is it.”

Inner Planets: Mercury, Venus, and Mars. These placements show how we’re unique individuals. For example: two of my sisters, my daughter, and I are all Geminis - with our birthdays on June 4, 6, 9, and 11 - but none of us share completely identical inner planet placements.

Asteroids: thingies orbiting (for the most part) between Mars and Jupiter. The four main ones (which I call “Lady Asteroids”) are Ceres, Pallas Athene, Juno, and Vesta. To me they’re all very community-oriented, providing us with clues/ways to navigate the immediate tribal and familial circumstances. I feel sometimes that we need to work hard on these, to become better at doing the next bunch of thingies….

Outer Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Can be further subdivided into:

Social Planets: Jupiter and Saturn. All the people in your high school class (and perhaps a year before or after) share these sign placements with you.

Transcendental Planets: Uranus and Neptune. These show up more as generational influences: Uranus spends seven years in one sign, and Neptune spends 14 years in one sign.

Centaurs: various thingies orbiting between various outer planets. They act as bridges or ambassadors between those two planets. Sort of helping us navigate between our own culture (Jupiter and Saturn) and other cultures (Uranus and Neptune). The most famous Centaur is Chiron.

Trans-Neptunian Objects: thingies orbiting beyond Neptune’s orbit. Pluto is in this category, as is Eris. There are scads of these, too.

We don’t have to know every last placement for every last asteroid, Centaur, or TNO. It’s useful but not required. As an example, to have one of them closely conjunct an important point can help refine a delineation.

Similarly, a strategically-placed thingie can take part in an aspect pattern, like the way my Centaur Pholus turns a mere t-square into a grand cross. It isn’t conjunct anything, but it’s closely square my Venus and Ascendant, and opposite my Ceres.

Your Pluto or Eris, also, may not be very well-integrated or active in your birth chart, but one of the other TNOs (Haumea? Makemake?) may be pushing all the buttons.

A cool thing about the asteroids is that there are so damned many of them, they ran out of mythological names and started to have to use names of actual people, places, and even bands (#8749 Beatles). One fun rabbit hole is to look up your name, and the names of people close to you, to see where they fall in your chart. My son’s name is conjunct my MC, my daughter’s name is conjunct my Ascendant, and my own name is conjunct my Part of Fortune.

Venus in Aries: "This heart in survival mode thought that if they hurt her enough it meant that she mattered, for once"

Venus in Taurus: "She waited so long for them to change that she forgot she was allowed to leave"

Venus in Gemini: "She didn't fall in love - she fell into obsession with potential"

Venus in Cancer: "She keeps dating her abandonment wound and calling it Destiny"

Venus in Leo: "She didn't want attention - she wanted assurance. She wasn't dramatic - she was devastated. She just knew what love was supposed to feel like"

Venus in Virgo: "She kept trying to fix them hoping one day they'd stay fixed on her"

Venus in Libra: "She said 'Yes' when she wanted to scream, She said 'Yes' through the ache until it shattered her identity"

Venus in Scorpio: "She called it 'Twin Flames' - it was just trauma reenactment with better lighting

Venus in Sagittarius: "She wants to be seen, then panics the moment someone starts truly looking"

Venus in Capricorn: "She downplayed her own needs so they wouldn't feel pressure, she stayed long past her expiration date to prove she doesn't give up easily"

Venus in Aquarius: "She got turned on by people who couldn't reach her - safety in guaranteed rejection"

Venus in Pisces: "They mistake her fantasy for intimacy then fail to notice when reality is walking away, saving herself always felt too lonely"

It is a Mission Impossible type of day. That classic line “your mission, should you choose to accept it” booms throughout the atmosphere as you declare that you will no longer worry about what happened in the past and not fearing what will happen in the future. It’s going to take some work in training your mind but the reward will give you the freedom to enjoy what’s happening now and living for the moment. The most important thing today is to be vigilant that you don’t fall in the trap of talking the talk but not walking the walk today.

[magicinthetrees]

You are not going to allow the feeling of being overwhelmed today as you grow and learn through this current challenge you are experiencing. You have been in this position before. It was gratitude of the good things you already have or have accomplished that got you through it the first time. It is time to get a bit more serious on putting your full energy behind stopping this reoccurrence from showing up again. It can be done.

[magicinthetrees]

There is a sense of stillness permeating throughout your thoughts, words and deeds today. Any form of internal dialogue that leads to hostility within yourself has been dissipated into an awareness of self-discovery that can only lead into experiencing an abundant joyful day.

[magicinthetrees]

Universe, we are scared. We are grieving. We are tired. Help us hold each other tighter than we hold our opinions.

week of june 22nd, 2025

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: your sign is activated all week due to saturn and neptune hanging out there albeit in uncomfortable ways. but some of the activations are positive and the ones that are more challenging, like this week's new moon, still show you the path forward to getting where you're going.

taurus: vibes are less taurus-supportive than one might hope but not actively hostile to you either, and having venus still in your sign for a while does help. lean into venusian qualities even as people around you get more intellectual and "serious."

gemini: while your money vibes are overall not just good but actually excellent, i *would* recommend *not* borrowing from friends or lending to them at this time. and don't let them talk you into spending any savings you're working on!

cancerians: your yearly new moon is this week which is perfect for re-inventing yourself and mid-year resolutions. it's square some stuff in aries which is less than ideal, but being so closely conjunct jupiter makes this a good time for *you* if not necessarily for your vocational pursuits.

leo: amidst various psychic renovations, mercury comes to your sign to visit for a while. the ingress is this week but soon enough there will also be a retrograde of that guy in your sign! so start your preparations now.

virgo: this week helps you become a magician or miracle-worker of sorts. you can bring down a dream or fantasy or idea and implement it in the real world of structure and form. it just takes putting your mind to it. sounds trite, but mercury means business!

libra: the blend of energies this week is tense yet productive. you get push back, but help comes from your social communities/networks. no libran is an island so don't get too solitary at this time.

scorpio: cancerian yet martial vibes suit you in unique ways. a little help from your ruling planet pluto doesn't go amiss either. you possess a quiet, persuasive power. don't rely too much on words; scheming behind the scenes and just emanating the vibes will serve your aims better.

sagittarius: the sun conjoins your ruling planet jupiter in your 8th house this week which, among all the other aspects, is so incredibly golden, rich, and jolly. gifts are likely. close connections and collaborations can be auspicious. some witchcraft may be in order, if that's your thing.

capricorn: like it or not, relationships remain the primary focus of your week. hopefully this is going well, but relationships with neglected facets or which have been outgrown may act up in uncomfortable ways, like a little flare of arthritis.

aquarius: mercury into leo means talk openly with a conversational partner especially if you have something to say that you haven't really wanted to say. do this before mercury goes retrograde in a week or two!

pisces: engage in hobbies and creative pursuits, especially if you can enjoy them alongside a person you care about. so much the better if you can do so without spending money or, even better, if the money goes to a good cause.

The need to find a purpose for your life now feels more like you are having an urgent spiritual calling to take imminent action in this moment rather than something on your to-do-list to accomplish at a later date. What has motivated and attracted this urgency is the desire and ability to foresee and influence future events. It’s a gift you have witnessed and cherished by other family members but with a little help won’t be lacking in your life now after today.
