Energy This Week

This is the week of the major "Uranus into Gemini shift" (July 7/8). Last week ended with Neptune retrograde in Aries and Venus entering Gemini. In short, we begin this week with a lot of air and fire energy. This week we have three different moon phases. In the first days we have a waxing moon. On July 10 we have a full moon in Capricorn. And from July 11 again a waning moon.

July 4 - December 9: Neptune retrograde in Aries

Neptune retrograde in Aries can give profound insights, but also confusion and escapism. You may feel a bit restless. A sense that you 'have to' do something, need to take action, but you don't really know exactly what. You may also lack direction and struggle to stay focused and in the here and now. Distraction, procrastination and increased susceptibility to addictions are lurking. Especially with those holiday vibes in your head. But if you dare to surrender and make space for your real feelings, this energy can also give you energy, decisiveness and self-reflection. Work on your focus and mindset and don't give up just because something doesn't work out. And moderate with alcohol, coffee, etc.; with this energy you can lose yourself more quickly in these things.

July 4 - 31: Venus in Gemini

Venus in Gemini is a nice combination: loving, airy and positive. You can enjoy this delightful energy all month long. Your love life, creativity and money flow can start moving again. If you are single and going on holiday, this energy is ideal for lovely, open conversations and flirting. So show yourself and go out there. You can also receive a financial windfall from an unexpected direction. Open your heart, feel free and say yes to connection, love and abundance.

July 7/8 - November 8: Uranus in Gemini

In the previous update we already wrote at length about this transit. Uranus and Gemini are the perfect partners in crime, loving change, speed and unexpected twists. With these two you can expect the unexpected. Uranus transits are always intense and gamechanging, accompanied by unpredictability, volatility, explosiveness, unexpected twists and groundbreaking innovations.

From July 7/8, 2025 Uranus temporarily moves from Taurus to Gemini, a transition that only becomes definitive in April 2026. This shift marks the start of a period of rapid change and technological progress. Whereas Uranus in Taurus represented slowness and stability, Gemini brings movement, innovation and a renewal of communication.

Think of developments in AI, education, travel and digital technology. The energy is fast, airy and sometimes chaotic. It is important not to lose yourself in the technological flow-keep thinking, stay human, and seek real connection in a world full of change.

July 10: Full moon in Capricorn

On July 10 we have a full moon in Capricorn, also known as the Grain Moon or Goat Moon. The sun then stands directly opposite the moon in Cancer. Capricorn loves hard work, discipline, responsibility and stability. Feeling, intuition and (self)care are harder and are the domain of Cancer. This full moon always brings extremes in energy. Masculine/reason versus feminine/intuition. This can make you wobbly, insecure and emotional. Give yourself some rest and space around this intense full moon. Postpone important decisions for now.

The main message of this full moon-which is reinforced by Neptune retrograde in Aries-is to stay grounded and true to yourself, no matter what is happening around you. There is so much noise, pressure and distraction around you that you can easily be whipped back and forth and swept into other people's narratives. Who are you? What truly matters to you? Do not let yourself be unsettled or diminished by the opinions of others. Remember your power and drive and focus on that. And ensure a good balance between inner strength, self-care, self-reflection and self-love.

In addition, this moon, in combination with Venus in Gemini, helps you communicate your deepest feelings and to view relationships more relaxedly and realistically. Venus in Gemini can give a kind of YOLO feeling with this moon energy, like why not.... Romantic illusions can also burst like soap bubbles. Dreaming about love is nice, but if dreams will always remain dreams, you can better give that energy to yourself.... or to loved ones who do give you back the love you deserve.

July 13 - November 27: Saturn retrograde in Aries

On July 13 Saturn (like Neptune) goes retrograde in Aries until the end of November. The retrograde energies of Saturn and Neptune merge. They invite you to turn inward and scrutinise your behaviour, choices and responsibilities. Saturn, the planet of structure, discipline and karma, asks you during this retrograde to slow down, reflect and take honest, adult steps.

Aries is a fiery, initiative-taking sign that acts quickly and often acts before thinking. When Saturn-the cosmic timekeeper and teacher-retracts into this sign, it can create tension between wanting to act and needing to think. You may be confronted with old patterns, impulsive behavior or instances where you have avoided responsibility. This retrograde helps you face those issues.

This period asks you to live truthfully and with integrity, even (or especially) when it feels uncomfortable. Ask yourself: Am I acting in line with my values? Do I take responsibility for my choices, even when it becomes difficult? Saturn reminds you that true and lasting success is only possible when you act from your core.

Instead of wanting to storm forward immediately as Aries likes to do, Saturn invites you to strengthen your foundation. This is the moment to build inner discipline, to respect boundaries (both yours and others') and to handle challenges in a more mature way.

Although Saturn retrograde is often experienced as heavy, it also offers an enormous opportunity for healing. This period helps you mature internally, to return to what truly matters and to build a more stable and authentic life. See it as a time-out, a pause to recalibrate your inner compass, so that after the retrograde you can move forward with more direction and clarity.

"How well do you know yourself? Are you connected to your core? Who truly matters to you? And do you give them the love and appreciation they deserve? Connect with the retrograde energies in Aries and feel that it is not only important to take responsibility, but also to make space for recognition, connection and genuine gratitude-to others and yourself."

Energy diese Woche

Dies ist die Woche des großen "Uranus in die Zwillinge"-Wechsels (7./8. Juli). Letzte Woche endete mit Neptun rückläufig im Widder, und Venus wechselte in die Zwillinge. Kurz gesagt, wir begin diese Woche mit viel Luft- und Feuerenergie. Diese Woche erleben wir drei verschiedene Mondphasen. Die ersten Tage gibt es zunehmenden Mond. Am 10. Juli haben wir Vollmond im Steinbock. Und ab dem 11. Juli wieder abnehmenden Mond.

4. July - 9. Dezember: Neptun rückläufig im Widder

Neptun rückläufig im Widder kann tiefgreifende Einsichten bringen, aber auch Verwirrung und Fluchtverhalten. Du kannst etwas unruhig sein. Das Gefühl, etwas "tun zu müssen", in Aktion treten zu müssen, aber du weißt nicht genau was. Du kannst auch Orientierung verlieren und Schwierigkeiten haben, fokussiert und im Hier und Jetzt zu bleiben. Ablenkung, Aufschubverhalten und größere Anfälligkeit für Suchtverhalten lauern. Besonders mit dem Urlaubs-Gefühl im Kopf. Aber wenn du dich dem hingibst und Raum für deine wahren Gefühle schaffst, kann dir diese Energie auch Energie, Tatkraft und Selbstreflexion schenken. Arbeite an deinem Fokus und deiner Einstellung und gib nicht einfach auf, wenn etwas nicht klappt. Und gehe sparsam mit Alkohol, Kaffee etc. um - mit dieser Energie kann man sich schneller darin verlieren.

4. - 31. July: Venus in den Zwillingen

Venus in den Zwillingen ist eine feine Kombination: liebevoll, luftig und positiv. Den ganzen Monat kannst du diese herrliche Energie genießen. Dein Liebesleben, deine Kreativität und dein Geldfluss können wieder in Bewegung kommen. Bist du Single und verreist? Diese Energie ist ideal für schöne, offene Gespräche und Flirts. Zeige dich also, geh raus. Auch aus unerwarteter Richtung kann finanzielle Unterstützung kommen. Öffne dein Herz, fühl dich frei und sag Ja zu Verbindung, Liebe und Fülle.

7./8. July - 8. November: Uranus in den Zwillingen

In der letzten Vorschau haben wir bereits ausführlich über diesen Transit geschrieben. Uranus und Zwillinge sind das perfekte Power-Duo, sie lieben Wandel, Tempo und unerwartete Wendungen. Mit diesen beiden kannst du das Unerwartete erwarten. Uranus-Transite sind immer intensiv und "game-changing", sie gehen einher mit Unvorhersehbarkeit, Sprunghaftigkeit, Explosivität, unerwarteten Wendungen und bahnbrechenden Innovationen.

Ab dem 7./8. Juli 2025 wechselt Uranus vorübergehend vom Stier in die Zwillinge, ein Übergang, der erst im April 2026 endgültig ist. Dieser Wandel läutet eine Phase schneller Veränderung und technologischem Fortschritt ein. Während Uranus im Stier für Langsamkeit und Stabilität stand, bringt der Zwilling Bewegung, Innovation und Kommunikationsneuerung.

Denk an Entwicklungen in KI, Bildung, Reisen und digitaler Technologie. Die Energie ist schnell, luftig und manchmal chaotisch. Es ist wichtig, sich im technologischen Strom nicht zu verlieren - denk weiter mit, bleib menschlich, und suche echte Verbindung in einer Welt voller Wandel.

10. July: Vollmond im Steinbock

Am 10. Juli haben wir Vollmond im Steinbock, auch Getreidemond oder Ziegenmond genannt. Die Sonne steht dann direkt gegenüber dem Mond im Krebs. Der Steinbock schätzt harte Arbeit, Disziplin, Verantwortung und Stabilität. Gefühle, Intuition und (Selbst-)Fürsorge fallen ihm schwerer und gehören in den Bereich des Krebses. Dieser Vollmond bringt immer Extreme in die Energie. Männlich/Ratio steht dem Weiblich/Intuition gegenüber. Das kann dich wackelig, unsicher und emotional machen. Gönn dir etwas Ruhe und Luft um diesen intensiven Vollmond herum. Verschiebe wichtige Entscheidungen.

Die wichtigste Botschaft dieses Vollmondes - gestärkt durch Neptun rückläufig im Widder - ist, stark zu bleiben und bei dir zu bleiben, egal was um dich herum passiert. Es gibt so viel Lärm, Druck und Ablenkung, dass du leicht hin- und hergerissen wirst und in Geschichten anderer mitgehst. Wer bist du? Was ist dir wirklich wichtig? Lass dich nicht durch andere verunsichern oder klein machen. Erinnere dich an deine Kraft und deinen Antrieb und konzentriere dich darauf. Und sorge für eine gute Balance zwischen innerer Stärke, Selbstfürsorge, Reflexion und Selbstliebe.

Außerdem hilft dieser Mond in Kombination mit Venus in den Zwillingen dir, deine tiefsten Gefühle zu kommunizieren und entspannter und realistischer auf Beziehungen zu kijken. Venus in den Zwillingen kann mit dieser Mondenergie ein YOLO-Gefühl bringen, so nach dem Motto: warum auch nicht.... Auch können romantische Illusionen aufpoppen und so schnell platzen wie Seifenblasen. Über die Liebe zu träumen ist schön, aber wenn Träume immer Träume bleiben, dann gib diese Energie lieber dir selbst ... Oder an deine Liebsten, die dir die Liebe zurückgeben, die du verdienst.

13. July - 27. November: Saturn rückläufig im Widder

Am 13. Juli wird Saturn - wie Neptun - rückläufig im Widder bis Ende November. Die rückläufigen Energien von Saturn und Neptun verschmelzen. Sie laden dich ein, nach innen zu schauen und dein Verhalten, deine Entscheidungen und deine Verantwortung zu hinterfragen. Saturn, der Planet der Struktur, Disziplin und Karma, fordert dich während dieser Rückläufigkeit auf, langsamer zu werden, nachzudenken und ehrliche, erwachsene Schritte zu gehen.

Der Widder ist ein feuriges, initiativreiches Zeichen, das schnell agiert und oft erst handelen und dann denkt. Wenn sich Saturn - der kosmische Lehrer - in diesem Zeichen zurückzieht, kann das Spannungen erzeugen zwischen dem Wunsch zu handeln und dem Bedarf nach Reflexion. Du kannst mit alten Mustern, impulsivem Verhalten und Verantwortungsflucht konfrontiert werden. Diese Rückläufigkeit hilft dir, genau diese Themen anzuschauen.

Diese Phase fordert dich auf, ehrlich und integer zu leben, auch (oder gerade) wenn es unbequem ist. Frage dich: Handle ich in Übereinstimmung mit meinen Werten? Übernehme ich Verantwortung für meine Entscheidungen, auch wenn es schwierig wird? Saturn erinnert dich daran, dass echter und dauerhafter Erfolg nur möglich ist, wenn du aus deinem Kern heraus handelst.

Anstatt direkt vorwärts zu stürmen, wie es der Widder gerne tut, lädt dich Saturn ein, dein Fundament zu stärken. Dies ist der Zeitpunkt, innere Disziplin aufzubauen, Grenzen zu respektieren - sowohl deine eigenen als auch die der anderen - und Herausforderungen auf erwachsene Weise zu meistern.

Obwohl Saturn rückläufig oft als herausfordernd empfunden wird, bietet es auch enorme Heilungschancen. Diese Zeit hilft dir, innerlich zu reifen, zu dem zurückzukehren, was wirklich zählt und ein stabileres, authentischeres Leben aufzubauen. Sieh es als Time-out, Zwischenstopp und Moment zur Einstellung deines inneren Kompasses, damit du nach der Rückläufigkeit zielgerichteter und klarer weitergehen kannst.

"Wie gut kennst du dich selbst? Bist du mit deinem Kern verbunden? Wer ist dir wirklich wichtig? Und schenkst du ihnen die Liebe und Wertschätzung, die sie verdienen? Verbinde dich mit den rückläufigen Energien im Widder und spüre, dass es nicht nur darum geht, Verantwortung zu übernehmen, sondern auch Raum zu schaffen für Anerkennung, Verbundenheit und aufrichtige Dankbarkeit - gegenüber anderen und dir selbst."

Energy this week

This is the week of the great "Uranus to Gemini shift" (July 7/8). Last week closed with Neptune retrograde in Aries. And Venus entered Gemini. In short, we begin this week with a lot of air and fire energy. We have three different lunar phases this week. The first few days we have a waxing moon. On July 10, we have a full moon in Capricorn. And starting July 11, we have another waning moon.

July 4 - December 9: Neptune retrograde in Aries

Neptune retrograde in Aries can give profound insights, but also confusion and flight behavior. You may be a bit restless. A feeling that you "need" to do something, take action, but are not so sure what exactly to do next. You may also lack direction and struggle to stay focused and in the here and now. Distractions, procrastination and increased addiction lurk. Especially with the vacation vibes on your mind. But if you dare to go into surrender and know how to make space for your true feelings, this energy can also give you energy, decisiveness and self-reflection. Work on your focus and mindset and don't just give up when something doesn't work out. And be moderate with alcohol, coffee, etc., with this energy you can lose yourself in these more quickly.

July 4 - 31: Venus in Gemini

Venus in Gemini is a fine combination: loving, light-hearted and positive. All month you can enjoy this wonderful energy. Your love life, creativity and money flow can get moving again. Are you single and going on vacation? This energy is ideal for fun, open conversations and flirting. So show yourself and head out. You may also receive a financial windfall from an unexpected source. Open your heart, feel free and say yes to connection, love and abundance.

July 7/8 - November 8: Uranus in Gemini

We wrote about this transit in detail in the previous update. Uranus and Gemini are the perfect partners in crime, fond of change, speed and unexpected turns. With these two, you can expect the unexpected. Uranus transits are always intense and "gamechanging," accompanied by unpredictability, capriciousness, explosiveness, unexpected turns and groundbreaking innovations.

Starting July 7/8, 2025, Uranus temporarily shifts from Taurus to Gemini, a transit that will not become permanent until April 2026. This shift heralds a period of rapid change and technological advancement. Whereas Uranus in Taurus stood for inertia and stability, Gemini actually brings movement, innovation and communication innovation.

Think developments in AI, education, travel and digital technology. The energy is fast-paced, lighthearted and sometimes chaotic. The important thing is not to lose yourself in the technological flow - keep thinking, stay human, and seek real connection in a world of change.

July 10: Full moon in Capricorn

July 10 we have a full moon in Capricorn, also called a grain moon and buck moon. The sun is then in direct opposition to the moon in Cancer. Capricorn likes hard work, discipline, responsibility and stability. Feeling, intuition and (self)caring are more difficult for him and are the territory of Cancer. This full moon always produces extremes in energy. Masculine/ratio versus feminine/intuition. This can make you wobbly, uncertain and emotional. Give yourself some rest and air around this intense full moon. Postpone important decisions for a while.

The main message of this full moon - which is energized by Neptune retrograde in Aries - is to stay firm and stay with yourself, no matter what is going on around you. There is so much noise, pressure and distraction around you that it is easy to get tossed back and forth and get caught up in other stories. Who are you? What do you really care about? Don't let others' opinions throw you off or make you smaller. Remember your strength and drive and focus on that. And ensure a good balance between inner strength, self-care, reflection and love.

In addition, this moon, combined with Venus in Gemini, helps you communicate your deepest feelings and look at relationships more relaxed and realistic. Venus in Gemini with this lunar energy can give a kind of YOLO feeling, like why not... Also, romantic illusions like soap bubbles can suddenly burst. Dreaming about love is fun, but if dreams will always be dreams, it's better to give that energy to yourself... Or to loved ones who do give you back the love you deserve.

July 13 - November 27: Saturn retrograde in Aries

On July 13, Saturn (like Neptune) goes retrograde in Aries through the end of November. The retrograde energies of Saturn and Neptune flow together. They invite you to turn inward and examine your behavior, choices and responsibilities. Saturn, the planet of structure, discipline and karma, asks you during this retrograde to slow down, reflect and take honest, mature steps.

Aries is a fiery, initiatory sign that acts quickly and often does first and then thinks. When Saturn "father time and cosmic teacher" pulls back in this, it can create tensions between wanting to do and needing to think. You may be confronted with old patterns, impulsive behavior or moments when you have shirked responsibility. This retrograde helps you face those very pieces.

This period asks you to live honestly and with integrity, even (or especially) when it is uncomfortable. Ask yourself: Am I acting in line with my values? Am I taking responsibility for my choices, even when the going gets tough? Saturn reminds you that true and lasting success is only possible when you act from your core.

Instead of wanting to storm forward immediately, as Aries likes to do, Saturn invites you to strengthen your foundation. This is the time to build inner discipline, respect boundaries (both your own and others') and handle challenges more maturely.

Although Saturn retrograde is often perceived as heavy, it also provides a tremendous opportunity for healing. This period helps you mature internally, return to what really matters and build a more stable and authentic life. See it as a time-out, a pause and a moment to adjust your inner compass, so that after the retrograde you can move forward with more direction and clarity.

'How well do you know yourself? Are you connected to your core? Who is really important to you? And are you giving them the love and appreciation they deserve? Connect with retrograde energies in Aries and feel that it is not only important to take responsibility, but also to make room for recognition, connection and genuine gratitude. To others and yourself.'
