Welcome to the second half of the year!!!
As I analyze the astrological forecast for the upcoming month, it’s difficult to believe that July has already arrived. July is an incredibly enchanting month, filled with the mystical energy of the Sirius Gateway. The Sirius Gateway occurs annually in the first week of July, marking the alignment of our Sun with the star Sirius.
Throughout history, numerous ancient civilizations held Sirius in high regard, recognizing his significance as a spiritual luminary. When the Sun and the Spiritual Sun align, powerful waves of high-frequency energy permeate the cosmic airways and rejuvenate our spiritual and physical selves.
In July 2024, there will be a Cancer New Moon, which will enhance the power of the Sirius Gateway. This event is set to occur on July 5th, right in the heart of the Gateway.
A new lunar cycle, intricately connected to the Sirius Gateway, will usher in a wave of revitalizing energy for everyone to harness. This period holds enormous potential for us to enhance our well-being, foster optimism, and rejuvenate our souls.
When we experience potent and influential energy such as this, it has the potential to facilitate the release or removal of any obstacles or blockages that may be impeding our progress or requiring resolution. At times, we may experience a lack of energy or feel tired, but as this phase passes and we embrace the valuable insights available to us, we can initiate positive changes in our lives.
In July, we will experience the second Capricorn Full Moon of the year. This celestial event will assist us in finding resolution and understanding for any unresolved matters that were present towards the end of June.
At the end of the month, we will experience the retrograde motion of two additional planets: Neptune and Chiron. Our retrograde count now stands at four. As the month comes to a close, we may experience a slowdown due to the influence of several retrograde planets operating on more subtle levels.
When there is a significant presence of retrograde energy in the celestial realm, it serves as a gentle nudge from the Universe to encourage us to take a moment to pause, contemplate, and reassess before moving forward.
Wherever the cosmic energies lead you this month, may you experience a sense of tranquility and find the opportunity to rejuvenate and contemplate.
Now, let’s examine the important dates for the upcoming month.

Pallas Goes Direct in Scorpio: July 9th
The ending of Pallas retrograde is cosmic! This asteroid symbolizes the creative use of our mind and wisdom to express ourselves and solidify our identity. In Scorpio, Pallas urges the group to be brave and seek knowledge everywhere. People hoard knowledge and keep others ignorant for a reason. For the same reason, “knowledge is power.” Pallas seeks parity.

Romantic Venus enters passionate Leo! During the period when Venus is in Leo, it is extremely beneficial to present ourselves confidently, pay attention to our physical appearance, and embrace a more lighthearted and joyful approach to life.

The planet Mars moves into the zodiac sign of Gemini. Given Mars’ placement in Gemini, it appears that a heightened sense of sociability and a willingness to engage in thought-provoking discussions may be present.

At times, the solutions may not be readily apparent. At times, it is necessary to expand our perspective and explore new realms of thought. It appears that this is what the Universe is urging us to do.

Now is the perfect moment to focus on self-care and self-compassion, even in the face of our personal challenges. Chiron’s retrograde period presents us with a chance to meticulously reexamine the facets of ourselves influenced by past trauma or wounds. It provides us with a valuable opportunity to reflect, assimilate, and contemplate strategies for progress. When Chiron is in Aries, it’s a time for us to let go of our fears and keep pushing forward. Chiron is renowned for its ability to embrace and integrate its wounds, transforming them into sources of strength and wisdom. Now is the perfect opportunity to cultivate a sense of acceptance within ourselves.
