Siren Star Report July 29th-Aug 4th 2025

As we move deeper into Leo season, the week begins with Chiron stationing retrograde in Aries, encouraging us to reflect on old wounds with fresh perspective. This isn’t about dwelling in the past, it’s about recognizing how far we’ve come and reclaiming the strength we may have left behind. At the same time, Venus enters Cancer, shifting our focus toward emotional connection, comfort, and the kind of love that feels safe and sincere.

Later in the week, Venus runs into tense aspects with Saturn and Neptune, asking us to face the gap between what we want and what’s possible right now. Emotional needs may clash with boundaries or uncertainty, but clarity arrives through the Sun’s conjunction with Mercury in Leo. This is a moment for honest self-expression and heartfelt truth. The energy this week reminds us that vulnerability and courage are often the same thing.

So let’s dive into the forecast for this week! Chiron Retrograde in Aries (July 26) opens the week with a subtle but powerful call to heal. Chiron's retrograde motion slows things down, encouraging us to revisit personal wounds tied to identity, anger, or independence. If something old flares up emotionally or physically, it’s likely pointing to something unresolved… not to punish, but to invite integration.

What is Chiron? Chiron is known as the “wounded healer” in astrology. It’s an asteroid that represents the places within us where we carry deep wounds, often from early life or ancestral patterns. But it also shows where we have the potential to grow, teach, and heal others through our own experience. Chiron’s transits don’t always hurt, but they do reveal. When retrograde, it encourages inner healing, reflection, and turning compassion inward.

Venus in Cancer (begins July 26) shifts the emotional landscape. Venus in this water sign draws our focus inward toward family, home, roots, and emotional nourishment. You may feel more intuitive in matters of love and money, craving depth over display and safety over sparkle. This can be a sweet, nurturing transit… but this week, it doesn’t arrive alone.

As Venus squares Saturn (July 29), emotional needs may meet resistance or reality checks. This can feel like a "no" where we want a "yes", especially in love, financial matters, or our sense of belonging. Venus squaring Neptune (July 31) may add a foggy layer of confusion or idealism. Together, these aspects caution against ignoring red flags or projecting fantasies onto people or situations. Let clarity come gently, without rushing to conclusions.

What is a Square? In astrology, a square is a 90-degree angle between two planets. It represents tension, challenge, and friction. Squares push us to grow by highlighting internal or external conflicts. They can feel frustrating or uncomfortable, but they often bring the pressure needed to make a change or set a boundary. Think of a square as a turning point that demands action.

In the midst of all this emotional recalibration, the Sun conjunct Mercury in Leo (July 29) offers a burst of heart-centered insight. Expect bold communication, meaningful messages, and a chance to articulate something that’s been stirring beneath the surface. It's an excellent time for creative expression, honest conversations, and tapping into your personal brilliance.

What is a Conjunction? A conjunction happens when two planets meet at the same point in the sky, blending their energies together. This aspect can amplify the traits of both planets, creating a powerful focus in one area of life. Sometimes the planets work in harmony, and other times they can intensify each other in overwhelming ways. But either way, a conjunction signals a moment of activation, clarity, or new beginnings.

This week’s weather asks you to stay present with what you feel and to speak your truth with care.

The Moon grows brighter this week, mirroring our own deepening awareness. We begin under the Waxing Crescent (July 29–31), a time to clarify intentions and nurture the fragile roots of what we’re building. This phase encourages quiet momentum. Taking small steps forward, especially after the emotional insights stirred by Venus and Chiron.

On August 1st, the First Quarter Moon arrives, marking a moment of choice and adjustment. It’s a checkpoint: Are your actions aligned with your desires? Resistance may surface, not as a sign to quit, but as an invitation to re-commit with more clarity, more courage, more heart.

From August 2–4, the Waxing Gibbous Moon pulls us into refinement. This is the phase of preparation before the full moon’s revelations. Polish your plans. Tend to details. Honor the emotions that rise without rushing to fix them. Growth is happening… quietly, steadily, in the in-between.

As the moon waxes and builds momentum, so can we. This week invites intentional growth. Small choices that echo louder than we think. Let the shifting light remind you: you're allowed to expand, even when it feels unfamiliar. Now, let’s get clear on what to lean into, release, and embody as you move through the week ahead.

Lean into: honest reflection, nurturing your emotional boundaries, speaking your inner truth with gentle confidence.

Avoid: slipping into confusion or denial about your feelings, overextending your energy to please others, and resisting necessary healing.

Embody: the siren who navigates her waters with grace… vulnerable yet strong, clear in her voice, and grounded in self-compassion.

The Tarot Tide this week brings out the Queen of Wands. She arrives this week as your radiant guide… a bold and magnetic presence who owns her power with warmth and grace. She blends passion with intuition, courage with compassion, reminding you that true strength comes from embracing your whole self.

This card encourages you to stand confidently in your creativity and leadership, trusting both your instincts and your heart. Whether you’re stepping into a new project, a difficult conversation, or simply claiming your space, the Queen of Wands asks you to lead with authenticity and joy.

At the same time, she reminds you to nurture yourself like the vibrant fire she embodies. Not with force, but with steady, loving energy. Balance ambition with self-care. Your light shines brightest when you honor your needs as fiercely as your desires.

✨ Need guidance on how to channel your inner Queen of Wands? Personal tarot readings can help you align your energy with your goals. Check out my same-day Flash Reading here!

This week, invite your inner fire to burn brighter with a simple yet powerful ritual:

Find a quiet space and light a yellow or orange candle. These colors symbolize creativity and confidence. Take a few deep breaths to ground yourself, then write down an intention or affirmation that reflects how you want to embody your personal power, such as, “I shine with courage and kindness in all I do.” Hold your affirmation in your hands and read it aloud three times, feeling the words resonate deeply within you. Visualize your inner flame growing steady and bright, illuminating your path with warmth and confidence. Keep your written intention somewhere visible to remind you of this commitment, and allow the candle to burn safely as a beacon of your radiant energy.

This week invites you to embrace your inner fire with both strength and tenderness. Remember, true power shines brightest when it’s rooted in self-awareness and care. Trust your voice, honor your boundaries, and let your light lead the way.

Siren Star Report July 21-28th 2025

The tide is turning and this time, it’s on fire. We move from the watery depths of Cancer into the bold blaze of Leo season on July 22, and the sky answers with a burst of energy. This week’s astrology is stacked with movement, revelation, and initiation. You may feel pulled in multiple directions, between the urge to express and the call to transform, between romantic heat and sharp realities, between dreaming big and keeping it real.

The Leo New Moon on July 24 offers a reset point: an invitation to stand fully in your light without apology. It’s a week to step forward with intention, but not without self-awareness. Let your confidence be rooted in truth, not performance. Let your fire be sacred.

Let’s dive into the movements this week! The Sun blazes into Leo on July 22, shifting the collective tone from emotional sensitivity to radiant self-expression. Leo season asks us to take up space, not with ego, but with heart. That same day, the Sun forms a sextile to Uranus in Gemini, sparking flashes of inspiration, originality, and sudden insight. If something clicks this week, trust it. This is universal ignition.

In astrology, a sextile is a 60-degree angle between two planets. It creates a soft, supportive connection where energy flows easily and positively. It’s not as dramatic as a conjunction or opposition, but it opens doors and sparks momentum when you’re willing to act. Think of it as a cosmic “yes”, like a nudge rather than a shove.

But the heat isn’t without friction. On July 23, Venus in Gemini squares Mars in Virgo, stirring tension between charm and precision, desire and detail. Conversations could get spicy or scattered… stay curious instead of combative.

In astrology, a square is a 90-degree angle between two planets. It creates tension, friction, and challenge. Squares often bring growth through discomfort, like pressure that forces transformation. They can stir conflict or internal restlessness, but they also push us to take action, make changes, or confront what we’ve been avoiding. Think of it as a crossroads… not easy, but necessary.

Then comes July 24, a rare day packed with layered aspects:
— Sun trine Saturn: stability, maturity, long-term vision
— Sun trine Neptune: divine creativity, soul downloads, dream energy
— Sun opposite Pluto: power struggles, ego death, transformation

In astrology, a trine is a 120-degree angle between two planets. It’s one of the most harmonious aspects, where energy flows naturally and effortlessly. Trines often bring ease, support, and alignment without the struggle. They highlight talents, soul gifts, and moments of “everything just clicks.” Think of it as a universal blessing… smooth water you can sail through with grace, if you stay present.

In astrology, an opposition is a 180-degree angle between two planets. They stand across from each other like mirrors, creating tension through contrast. Oppositions often bring up power dynamics, projection, or polarities within ourselves or our relationships. They challenge us to find balance and integration, rather than choosing one side over the other. Think of it as a spiritual confrontation… one that invites clarity, transformation, and growth if you’re willing to face it head-on.

It all culminates with a New Moon in Leo, also on July 24! A potent portal for planting bold, heart-centered intentions. You’re being asked to show up for your future self now. The sky is wild, but if you listen to your inner rhythm, you’ll move with grace through the fire.

The week begins in the quiet hush of the waning crescent moon, which is a time to rest, reflect, and retreat. This lunar phase is the exhale before the inhale, the sacred stillness before the spark. Let yourself soften into the unknown. Clarity is coming.

On July 24, the Moon meets the Sun in Leo for a bold, heart-centered New Moon, a portal for renewal, radiance, and creative fire. This lunation invites you to set intentions that are unapologetically you. Think visibility, passion, purpose, and play. The Leo New Moon wants you to lead with your heart, take up space with confidence, and trust your inner light.

After the New Moon, the Moon begins to wax, slowly building energy again. Perfect for gently initiating what you’ve just seeded. It’s not a week to rush, but it is a week to dream boldly and speak clearly about what you want to create.

This is a week to rise… but not recklessly. The universe offers a golden window to set powerful, soul-aligned intentions, but only if you’re willing to get honest first. Leo’s fire asks you to show up, speak out, and create boldly. But Pluto reminds us: true power doesn’t need to shout. It emanates from within.

Let your self-expression be anchored in truth, not ego. Let your desires be devotional, not impulsive. With so many flowing aspects this week, the support is there, but your intention shapes the spell.

Lean into: bold creativity, heart-centered leadership, starting fresh, taking up space with purpose.
Avoid: performative confidence, emotional avoidance, power struggles, perfectionism.
Embody: the siren who sings from her core… ethereal, luminous, and rooted in her own becoming.

The Tarot Tide this week brings the 4 of Swords reversed. Universe is whispering what your spirit already knows: you’re ready to rise, but have you truly rested? There’s a difference between stillness and stagnation and this card is asking you to check in with your nervous system before rushing into motion. You may feel the itch to get moving, to do more, to “start fresh” with this New Moon in Leo. But the message here is: not so fast.

There’s wisdom in the pause. Integration takes time. Healing isn’t weakness, it’s a sacred part of your evolution. Let your movement this week come from a full cup, not from burnout dressed as ambition.

✨ Feeling like your energy is scattered or unsure? I offer personal tarot readings to help realign your focus and reconnect with your intuitive path. Tap into a 1:1 live tarot session or a mini life check-in in my shop.

If you’re ready to gently reignite your inner fire without burning out, here’s a simple ritual to guide your renewal:

Light a white or gold candle in a quiet space. Take three deep breaths and ground yourself. Reflect on what parts of you are ready to awaken and which need more rest. Speak aloud: "I honor my need for rest and renewal. I light this flame to guide my path forward… steady, sacred, and sure." Visualize your energy as a calm, steady flame growing brighter without rushing. When complete, snuff out the candle and keep your reflections to revisit through this New Moon cycle.

The fiercest flames burn steady. This week, honor your pace and trust your timing. The magic is in the balance between rest and action, reflection and radiance. Your light is not a burst; it’s a steady glow that guides you through transformation.

Siren Star Report July 14-20th 2025

The tides are shifting as we swim through the final full week of Cancer season, and the waters feel rich with reflection. Emotions rise, memories resurface, and the stars whisper reminders to slow down and listen more closely… to yourself, to others, to what’s been left unsaid. This is a week to soften into your intuition, to let clarity come like driftwood washed ashore, and to prepare for the fire ahead. Let what no longer belongs be pulled gently out to sea.

This week’s skies come with a shift in the current. Mercury stations retrograde in Leo on the 17th, turning up the volume on self-expression, ego, and the stories we tell ourselves. Expect bold miscommunications, dramatic revisits to the past, and divine delays that nudge you toward deeper alignment. The next day, Mercury sextiles Venus in Gemini, offering a sweet window for charm, playfulness, and rewording what once felt too sharp or too soft. Words can be spells… especially now.

In astrology, a retrograde happens when a planet appears to move backward in the sky. It’s a cosmic rewind, urging us to reflect, revise, and return to unfinished business. A sextile, on the other hand, is a gentle, harmonious aspect that forms when two planets are 60 degrees apart. This creates an energetic green light where flow and positive energy naturally align. These transits may seem subtle, but their effects ripple through our thoughts, conversations, and choices in deeply felt ways.

All of this unfolds under the emotional tide of Cancer season’s final act. The cosmos is stirring the waters of nostalgia and self-protection, urging us to revisit what’s in our hearts before the Sun blazes into Leo next week. If it feels like things are shifting beneath the surface, it’s because they are. This week is not about charging ahead, but about listening, revising, and letting the waves rearrange what needs to be rewritten.

The Moon begins the week in her waning gibbous phase (July 14–16), gently pulling us inward after last week’s full moon intensity. This is a time for integration… for harvesting wisdom, tending to what’s been revealed, and letting truth settle into your bones. You may feel reflective, even a little tender. This will be a moment for a sacred pause.

By midweek, she shifts into her waning crescent form (July 17–20), whispering a soft invitation to release. These lunar days are made for rest, ritual, and restoration. It’s perfect for clearing mental clutter, emotional residue, and energetic noise stirred up by Mercury’s retrograde turn. Let yourself unplug, detox, and daydream. This moon wants less doing, more feeling. Let the quieter currents guide you home.

The Moon’s path this week flows through four distinct signs, each adding a unique emotional undercurrent to our days. She begins in dreamy Pisces (July 14–15), heightening sensitivity, intuition, and the desire to drift away from hard edges. Then she blazes through Aries (July 15-16), stirring bold emotions and impulsive urges… especially as Mercury shifts retrograde. Take care not to let fire drown out clarity. By Friday the Moon grounds herself in Taurus (July 18-19), inviting comfort, embodiment, and slow, sensual presence. When she flutters into Gemini (July 20), prepare for curiosity, scattered thoughts, and a desire to communicate… just as Mercury’s retrograde truly begins to work its magic. Track how your moods shift with the Moon; she’s a mirror, not a mystery.

This is not a week to rush. The cosmic currents call for softness, self-reflection, and intuitive recalibration. With Mercury beginning its retrograde in Leo and the Moon waning into her most inward phases, clarity comes not through action, but through listening. Let your heart speak before your mouth does. Let your emotions rise without trying to fix or explain them.

Lean into: rituals of release, quiet confidence, revisiting past creative ideas, reconnecting with your inner voice.
Avoid: forcing conversations, overexplaining yourself, taking emotional bait, rushing to make decisions you’ll have to redo later.
Embody: the siren who sings in silence… powerful, magnetic, and unbothered by the noise on the surface.

The tarot tide this week brings Judgement reversed. It comes as a spiritual echo, a call you may be ignoring, avoiding, or not quite ready to answer. This week asks you to look inward with compassion and honesty. What truths are trying to rise to the surface? What patterns are begging to be released once and for all? You may feel stuck between the past and the future, but this card reminds you: the pause is the power. You are not behind. You are becoming.

With Mercury retrograde and the waning Moon supporting deep inner work, this is a potent time to revisit your personal narrative. Are you living by your own truth or someone else’s expectations? Let go of harsh self-judgment and make space for a softer rebirth.

✨ Need clarity on your personal path? I offer private tarot readings that go deeper into your energy and next aligned steps. Visit my shop for a same-day tarot readings, a mini tarot check-ins, and more!

And if you’re feeling ready to shift something internally this week, here’s a simple ritual to help you reclaim your voice and honor how far you’ve come:

Stand before a mirror with a journal nearby. Light a white candle. Gaze at yourself softly and say aloud: "I release the weight of old judgments. I see myself clearly, and I call back all versions of me with love." Then write a letter to your past self… the one who made the hard decisions, who felt lost, who didn’t know what you know now. Fold it and place it under the candle as it burns down. When complete, bury or burn the letter to seal the spell.

Not every truth arrives with a thunderclap. Some arrive like waves… soft, steady, undeniable. This week, trust the quiet revelations. Trust the pause. Trust that what’s fading is making space for something more aligned to rise.
