FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN

Returning to What’s Real

This week has been one of those deep energetic pivots you can feel in your bones.

We’ve had:

✨ Uranus enter Gemini
✨ Venus now in Gemini
✨ Venus trine Pluto in Aquarius
✨ Neptune stationing retrograde
✨ Mercury entering its shadow phase
✨ And a big, potent Full Moon in Capricorn rising…

Yep, this week’s energy is here to shift us, recalibrate us, and bring us back to what matters.

In this episode, I guide you through:

— Why this Full Moon is not about hustle or burnout legacy
— The soul invitation between Capricorn & Cancer
— How to know what’s ready to be released vs. what still deserves your devotion
— What Mercury’s shadow is stirring, and how to navigate it with grace
— The deeper medicine of Neptune + Saturn retrograde in Aries
— How Uranus, Venus & Pluto are breaking old paradigms of love + connection

This moon is about remembering:
💭 What does success feel like, in your body, not just on paper?
💭 Are you building a life from soul, or just surviving in systems that drain you?

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to shift. You’re allowed to choose differently now.

Let this Full Moon be your permission slip to soften, realign, and root back into your truth.

The shifts that are happening, our soul remembers but our mind cannot name.

I meditated on this transit all day, it’s occurring today, 7th of July 2025 and set a very strong intention on this shift for my life and the collective spirit

Dates: Uranus has officially entered Gemini on July 7th, 2025. This begins a new cycle in our collective story But like all Uranian transits, it won’t be a straight line: On September 6th 2025, Uranus goes retrograde in Gemini

• By November 7th–8th 2025, it briefly returns BACK to Taurus Then on April 25th 2026, Uranus re-enters Gemini where it stays for the long haul until 2032.

• Uranus will stay in Gemini from 2026 until August 3rd–4th 2032, when it first dips into Cancer.

• But in true Uranus fashion, it retrogrades again, revisiting Gemini one last time from December 12th–23rd 2032.

• Before finally moving on for good into Cancer on May 22nd–23rd 2033

So what begins now isn’t just a trend, It’s an era, it’s a blueprint for the future And it will keep revealing itself in waves, echoes, and revolutions across the next 8 years

In this episode, I dive deep into the impact of Uranus in Taurus — one of the most defining transits of the last decade. Since 2018, we’ve experienced major global and economic shifts, and in this conversation I walk you through the key timeline of events and what this transit has meant both personally and collectively.

We explore:

• What Uranus in Taurus really means

• How this transit has restructured our relationship to money, safety, worth and stability

• Year-by-year breakdown of key world events from 2018 to 2024

• The energetic link between Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius

• What’s coming next as Uranus moves into Gemini on 7 July 2025

This episode is for anyone who’s felt the ground shifting under their feet these past few years — financially, emotionally, or even physically. There’s been a deep rewiring happening, and it’s time to name it.

🌟 Want to know what this means for you specifically?
I’ve created a special Follow-Up Uranus Reading to help you understand how this transit has impacted your chart — and how to work with the new energy as Uranus moves into Gemini.

The shift is here
Your nervous system

Are evolving with it

All my love,

Aquarius Sun, Moon, or Rising — you were born to piss people off.
Not because you're trying to. But because you're here to break the mould.

If you've got strong Aquarius placements—whether it’s your Sun, your emotional core with the Moon, or you're showing up to the world with Aquarius Rising—you carry a frequency that doesn’t fit in the box. And that’s the point. You are the shift. You are the glitch in the matrix. You trigger people because your energy is future-coded. It's rebellious, it's detached, it's fiercely independent—and it doesn’t care about outdated systems or surface-level bullshit.

This episode is for the visionaries. The outliers. The ones who feel like they never fully belonged because they weren’t meant to.

We’re diving into what it really means to be Aquarius Sun, Moon, or Rising. The shadow, the genius, the coldness, the truth-teller, the sacred rebel, and the nervous system that can hold the electric charge of change.

If you've ever been told you're "too much," "too weird," "too out there"—this one's your cosmic permission slip to lean in harder. You’re not here to conform. You’re here to liberate.
