July 26 through December • Saturn Retrograde in Aries at 14 Degrees
Theme: Rebuilding Your Vision One Intentional Step at a Time
Activating the Ninth House
Saturn begins its retrograde journey in your ninth house, inviting you into a season of reflection around your beliefs, long term goals, personal growth, and the direction your life is taking. Between now and December, you are being encouraged to slow down and revisit what truly gives your life meaning. This is less about changing your destination and more about making sure the path you are walking still feels aligned with the person you are becoming.
You may begin questioning beliefs that once felt certain or discover that your goals have evolved. Experiences over the past year may have changed your perspective, making this an ideal time to reevaluate what success, freedom, and fulfillment mean to you. If something no longer inspires you, this retrograde gives you permission to revise it rather than continue simply because it feels familiar.
This energy also supports reviewing education, travel plans, teaching, spiritual practices, or any area where you are expanding your understanding of the world. Progress may feel slower at times, but the purpose is to strengthen your foundation. What you build after this retrograde will be based on greater wisdom, confidence, and experience.
By the time Saturn turns direct in December, you may realize that the greatest growth did not come from doing more, but from becoming more intentional. This retrograde reminds you that clarity often comes through reflection, and lasting success is built one thoughtful decision at a time.

July 27 • Sun in Leo Conjunct Jupiter Opposite Pluto in Aquarius Trine Neptune in Aries Sextile Uranus in Gemini
Theme: Becoming the Person Your Future Has Been Waiting For
Activating the First, Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Houses
This is one of the most empowering days of the year. The Sun and Jupiter come together in your first house, shining a light on your confidence, identity, and personal growth. You are being reminded that your greatest opportunities begin when you fully embrace who you are. At the same time, relationships, beliefs, and future possibilities are all participating in this story, helping you step into a larger version of yourself.
As your confidence grows, you may begin noticing which relationships encourage your growth and which ones no longer reflect the person you are becoming. This is not about pushing people away. It is about recognizing where mutual growth, respect, and authenticity naturally exist. At the same time, your vision for the future may expand in surprising ways as new ideas and opportunities begin appearing.
There is also a beautiful balance between intuition and inspiration. You may receive unexpected ideas through conversations, moments of quiet reflection, or simply following your curiosity. Trust yourself enough to explore what feels exciting without needing every detail before taking the first step.
Within five degrees, your natal Chiron at 7 degrees Aries is activated, reminding you that confidence is not about never doubting yourself. It is about choosing to move forward even when you are still growing. What once felt like a weakness may become one of your greatest strengths.

Celebrate how much you have already grown.
July 29 Aquarius Full Moon at 6 Degrees 10:35am
Theme: Releasing the Old Version of Connection and Creating a Future That Feels Aligned
Activating the First and Seventh Houses
This Aquarius Full Moon brings a powerful moment of awareness around identity, relationships, and the way you connect with others. With the Sun and Jupiter illuminating your first house, there is an invitation to expand into a more confident version of yourself. At the same time, the Moon and Pluto in your seventh house bring attention to partnerships, emotional patterns, and connections that are ready to transform. This Full Moon asks you to honor who you are becoming while allowing relationships to evolve with you.
The energy of this Full Moon is about balance between self and others. You may become more aware of where you have been compromising your own needs, staying in outdated roles, or holding onto connections because of who you used to be. This is not about separation for the sake of separation. It is about creating relationships that allow both people to grow, evolve, and show up authentically.
With Jupiter close to the Sun, there is an abundance theme woven into this Full Moon. Growth comes from believing in yourself, recognizing your worth, and allowing yourself to receive support. Pluto’s influence adds depth, encouraging you to release old patterns around control, fear of change, or attachment to relationships that no longer match your growth. What leaves your life now creates space for something more aligned to enter.
This Full Moon can bring powerful realizations about what you truly want from your relationships and from yourself. You may feel called to step into greater confidence, express your needs more clearly, and stop shrinking yourself to maintain comfort. The more you honor your own evolution, the more naturally the right people and opportunities begin to find you.
This is a turning point between the past version of yourself and the future version you are creating. Allow yourself to celebrate how far you have come while releasing what prevents you from moving forward. Your growth is not a threat to the right connections. It is the pathway toward deeper and more authentic ones.
Five Things to Release
Relationships that require you to hide parts of yourself.
Fear of outgrowing people or situations.
The need for outside approval before trusting yourself.
Old identities that no longer represent who you are.
Patterns of overgiving while ignoring your own needs.
Five Blessings of Abundance
Greater confidence in who you are becoming.
Relationships that support mutual growth.
Opportunities that align with your authentic self.
Increased awareness of your own value.
The courage to create a future that feels exciting and meaningful.
Check out this Full Moon in Aquarius Playlist! 🌕✨
https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/full-moon-in-aquarius/pl.u-zPyLLlXCej6Zl1J
In true Aquarius fashion...it's a little different. 😂
The playlist begins with Breath of Fire. As you move through this breathing practice, imagine yourself clearing away mental clutter, creating space, and preparing your mind, body, and spirit to release what is no longer meant to come with you.
Once the breathwork is complete, you'll hear the drums. This is where the real magic begins. With every beat of the drum, visualize yourself releasing something you've been carrying. A limiting belief. A fear. A relationship. A habit. A version of yourself that no longer fits the person you're becoming. Let each beat carry it away until you feel lighter.
The final song is all about integration. No pushing. No forcing. No figuring it all out. Simply allow yourself to receive. Trust that what you've released has created space for what is meant to find you. Sometimes the most powerful transformation happens when we stop trying so hard and simply align with what already wants to unfold.
Crystal Recommendation
Citrine
Citrine is a powerful crystal for abundance, confidence, and personal expansion. It supports the Jupiter energy of growth while reminding you that abundance begins with recognizing your own worth. Hold citrine during this Full Moon when setting intentions around confidence, receiving, creativity, and new opportunities.
Aquarius Full Moon Release Ritual
Releasing Old Patterns and Calling In Aligned Connections
You Will Need
• A purple or white candle for transformation and clarity
• Citrine crystal
• A bowl of water
• Paper and pen
• Fire safe bowl or container
• Optional: lavender, rosemary, or incense
Step 1: Create Your Space
Light your candle and place your citrine beside it.
Take several deep breaths and place one hand on your heart and one hand on your stomach.
Say:
"I honor the person I have been. I welcome the person I am becoming. I release what no longer aligns with my highest path."
Allow yourself to settle into the moment.
Step 2: Reflect on Your Relationships With Yourself and Others
In your journal, answer:
• Where have I been shrinking myself to make others comfortable?
• What relationships allow me to be fully myself?
• Where am I ready to choose myself more fully?
• What version of myself am I ready to leave behind?
Write honestly without judging your answers.
Step 3: Write Your Release List
On a separate piece of paper, write everything you are ready to release.
Examples:
"I release the fear of being too much."
"I release the need to be understood by everyone."
"I release relationships that require me to abandon myself."
"I release old expectations of who I thought I needed to be."
When you are complete, safely burn the paper or tear it into pieces.
As it transforms, say:
"I release what has completed its purpose. I create space for relationships, opportunities, and experiences that honor who I am becoming."
Step 4: Call In Abundance
Place your citrine in your hands.
Write five things you want to welcome into your life.
Focus on feelings as much as outcomes:
• Confidence
• Supportive relationships
• Creative opportunities
• Joy
• Freedom
Read each intention aloud.
Step 5: Seal Your Intention With Water
Place your fingers into the bowl of water.
Imagine the water absorbing the energy of the Full Moon and your intentions.
Say:
"I cleanse the past. I welcome the future. I trust that what is meant for me is moving toward me."
Touch the water to your forehead, heart, and hands.
Step 6: Close the Ritual
Hold your citrine and sit quietly for a few minutes.
Ask yourself:
"What is one action I can take that honors the person I am becoming?"
Write down the answer.
Blow out the candle and keep your crystal nearby during the Full Moon cycle as a reminder:
The more fully you become yourself, the more aligned your life becomes.
