Astrology Forecast: Speek your Truth, Stand in your Power

Your week just got loud in the best possible way. Mars in Gemini teams up with Uranus and then flows in a powerful trine to Pluto in Aquarius, creating the kind of astrology that doesn’t stay theoretical. It pushes you to say what you mean, stop shrinking to fit someone else’s comfort, and make changes that actually stick.

I walk through the major transits for July 5 through July 11, including the Sun in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, which can expose weak spots in relationships, family systems, and work structures. If something has been held together with avoidance or obligation, this aspect shines a bright light on it so you can rebuild with stronger boundaries and a more honest foundation.

Then we go deeper into the main event: Mars and Uranus bringing rebel energy to your voice and choices, while Pluto demands truth from the places you usually keep private. This is big personal transformation energy, but it comes with a reminder to use your power wisely. Venus also enters Virgo and immediately links to the lunar nodes, stirring old patterns in love, money, and values and asking whether your connections align with your soul growth.

I close with sign-by-sign horoscopes and the best way to listen: start with your rising sign, then add your Sun and Moon for the most complete read. If this helped you, subscribe, share the show, and leave a rating or review so more people can find Pisces Moon Astrology.

SPEAKER_00 0:02

This Week’s Big Astrology Lineup

SPEAKER_00 1:06

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Before I go into the main event that I'm gonna talk about, and I am gonna do the sign by sign. We've got on July 5th, we've got Mars in Gemini, trying Pluto in Aquarius. That's actually the main event. That's the one I'm gonna go into detail on. So I'm not gonna say a whole lot about it here. On the 6th, we've got the Sun in Cancer, squaring Saturn in Aries. So this is a tense aspect and it's gonna be shining the light on restrictions and anywhere in our lives where our foundation isn't solid. All right. Um, so expect it to be a little bit tense because we're gonna be seeing things that we probably don't really want to see, if that makes sense. We may be seeing that our relationship with our lover, our parents, our job, whatever, might not be on the firmest foundation. And we might have to do something about that. So look for that. That's happening on July 6th.

Venus In Virgo Meets The Nodes

SPEAKER_00 2:17

Then on the 9th, we have Venus go into Virgo. Now, what makes this really, really important is that she immediately is conjunct the south node of letting go and opposite the north node of destiny, but the north node is where we have life lessons to learn. So this could be that in relationships we find that we're clinging to something old that we need to loosen up our grip, um, or even all the way let go of. Remember, Venus is love, money, art, beauty, relationships of all kinds. So don't everybody think immediately that you're all gonna be breaking up, though some of you will be. Um, anyway, we are to look to Pisces, look to Pisces for how we're meant to grow. And this is gonna be, I think, really questioning do the Venus areas of our lives align with our soul's purpose? Pisces is spiritual. Are these soul connections? And if they're not, do I maybe just want to cut them loose? And I will tell you right now that the answer is gonna be at first, no, I don't want to cut them loose. I'm clinging, right? That's gonna be the challenge, okay? So that's the big stuff going on this

Mars Uranus Trine Pluto Explained

SPEAKER_00 3:42

week. Let's get into the main event. You know how it goes. I'm gonna give you a little bit of background, then I'm gonna go through the sign by signs. When we get to the sign by signs, listen for your rising sign. That's who you are. If you don't know it and you're born during the daytime, listen to your sun sign. And if you're born at night, listen to your moon sign. For the most comprehensive reading and understanding of what's going on, listen to all three. All right, so let's talk about Mars and Pluto. Fortunately, y'all, they're in a trine, so that's at least a really good thing. So Mars is in Gemini and he's with Uranus, the rebel. So that's part of this picture too, right? Mars is technically conjunct Uranus. That is a lot of fire and a lot of passion around issues of wanting to break the rules, break out of the box, break the old ways of doing things. This is Mars is fire and war and all of that kind of stuff. And Uranus is kind of like make it go boom, also, right? So there's a whole lot of passion around, you know, let's tear the walls down. Which walls? Which house does Gemini occupy in your chart? And also kind of in general, this is big energy, big, big energy. Pluto, the god of the underworld, Hades, is in Aquarius, which is an air sign. So think about your thoughts, your mind, you know, how you, yeah, how you think about and communicate about the world. Pluto asks that we go very deep. We literally go into our own personal underworld and we face whatever is there. Whatever dragons or demons or traumas or you know, you name it, whatever's there, we need to look at it and it needs to be transformed by fire. And this is in this error sign. So our ideas and stuff. And Aquarius is also looking at the future. So, what do we need to change in our sense of how we move forward into the next phase of our lives? Remember, I told you back in January that is gonna be a major theme throughout this year, and this is just part of that picture. We need to transform to move into a new phase of life. That is part of this picture, right? But the thing about Pluto is then we bring this newly transformed self into the light so that it can live. You know, it's the Persephone myth, bringing spring to the earth after, you know, Pluto kidnaps her and all of that kind of stuff, and she's down in the underworld. So that's what the two planets are about now. They're making a harsh harmonious aspect to each other. So that's the good news. They're making a trine. This is gonna be this rebel out-of-the-box thinking, this passion, this fired up, I'm gonna make some changes. Notice that it's Gemini. That's also our thinking, our communication, our uh the way we socialize, right? Who we are out in the world in that sense. And it's gonna be like, I am not speaking the way you want me to speak. I'm not going to think things just because you tell me they're right. You could be you, your part, the partner you live with. It could be the government, it could be you do you. I don't know who your you is, but it's like, no, I am going to speak my truth. I am a rebel, I am a warrior, and I am going to stand in my truth, and I am going to defend my right to be me. Think what I think and say what I want to say. Okay, so we've got that going on. Talking to Pluto. So this is about you need to go deep. This is big, right? This is like life-changing big. So we each need to be ready to really go inside ourselves and say, what is my truth? Who am I in my deepest, most private, most secret, most buried away, uh, maybe sometimes even buried away from ourselves. So don't think this is just like the secrets we keep from others. Part of what makes this really profound is we may have to face some truths about ourselves, but it's all about going in there and looking deep and saying, Pluto's about power. Pluto is the god of power. So it's like I need to really be clear on who I am in my deepest truth so that I can emerge into the light and bring my fiery, passionate, rebel, powerful self into the world. Does that make sense? So this is huge. This is Mars and Uranus adding that energy that make it go boom. Pluto saying we're not doing this on a small scale thing. We are going deep and we're gonna get to some honesty, and we're gonna bring that honesty to light. And the rest of y'all, you can like it or not like it. I don't care, right? That's this energy. I love it. I kind of love it, but y'all know me. So anyway, now I do want you to watch out for being a little too forceful on others. This is a personal transformation. This is about your personal truth. But just because you're facing your personal truth and you're all renewed and rebel, warrior self and all of that, that doesn't mean you have to like bring out the big guns with every single person you see, right? So just for this week, I am not saying temper it, because if I did, that would be going against your rebel self, right? That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying know that this is really, really big energy. And maybe, you know, when you're having the family phone call with your grandma, maybe you don't have to blast her so hard, you know, unless you do. Unless you do, unless your personal truth and your rebel self says grandma gets it. You you hear what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, that's what I got for this one. So let's get into the sign by sign.

Aries To Gemini Sign Forecasts

SPEAKER_00 10:47

Okay, so for Aries, Mars is in your third house of local community, but more importantly for this, communication. How perfect is that? And Pluto is in your 11th house of your tribe. So this is gonna have something to do with you, your friends, the groups you associate with, your um relationship to whatever it is you call community. There's gonna be some uh going deep and really getting to your truth and requiring that the people who are most important to you, your tribe, they gotta take you for who you are. And the ones who don't, bye-bye. Yeah, they're not gonna make it. I will tell you that right now. Um, but this is a really nice placement, and so I think that most of your tribe is probably gonna go, yeah, we knew that. We knew you had all that rebel you inside there. All right, Taurus, um, Mars is in your second house of money, and Pluto is in your tenth house of career. So, how are you making your money? That's what this is about. It's like this is gonna be a time when it's like you've either got to be able to be accepted at work for who you are and be able to communicate your real ideas and contribute something of that seems meaningful to you, or you need to go, right? Like, this is a really interesting configuration for self-employment. So, one way or another, your work and how you make your money has to be true to you, and you need to be able to bring your authentic self to your work. Make sense? These are cool, right? I'm loving these already. Okay, and Gemini. Gemini Mars is in your first house of you, and Pluto is in your ninth house of spirituality, higher education, and foreign traveling cultures. But given that it's training with you, this is more than for anyone else about you standing in your authentic self. Mars and Uranus are in you. But part of that is gonna have to do with going really deep and looking at spirituality and your connection to whatever that means to you. I think this is gonna be a time when if you're already involved in some kind of spiritual pursuit, you may find that it's like, you know what? I have not been able to be authentic here. I've been under, I'm not saying mind control or something like that. I'm not, although for some of you it probably is. Some of you may find that you now recognize that you've been in high control religions and things like that. And if so, those days are over. It'll be like, uh-uh. I am this person and I am bringing this person to the universe, to goddess, god, whatever it is you do, right? The universal force. So this could have a lot of really um realigning your spiritual values and possibly ending connections to old ways that just don't work for you anymore, that have taken you out of your power. Make sense? All right, for cancer.

Cancer To Virgo Sign Forecasts

SPEAKER_00 14:36

Mars is in your 12th house. This is one of the slightly more difficult placements because anytime the 12th house is behind the scenes, it's our subconscious, it's our uh dreams and sleep. And having fired up Mars and Uranus in your sleep, you guys may be finding in general, I think I talked about this last week, you may be finding sleep disturbances going on this week. But the good news is you may also be getting major prophetic dreams when you do sleep. Now, it's interesting that this is the house of deep uh subconscious psychology, mental health. Pluto's in your house of trauma. And this could really be saying, like, you know what? I'm not living in trauma anymore. You know, X, Y, and Z happened to me. I've been carrying this around. This has had some impact on my mental health, on how I define myself, and I'm done. I'm really done. I'm doing the work that I need to do on me, on my mental health, on my wellness, and I am not living in trauma anymore. I actually, that's profound. So I said difficult. You know, this is not a bad placement at all. This could be such a deeply healing week for you. Okay. All right, Leo, Mars is in your 11th house of your tribe and group identity. So this is really just firing up your I am rebel warrior person with your groups, right? So this could be like y'all are arranging protests and organizing community actions and all of that. It could literally have to do with that sort of thing. But it's also, as I said, for um, who was it? I guess Aries, you know, that it could have to do with standing in, you know, showing your authentic self to your tribe and kind of doing a take it or leave it kind of thing, right? So there's gonna be that. Pluto's in your seventh house of one-on-one relationships. So you may be finding that you're really needing to stand in your power, Pluto. Um, you're really needing to go deep in your own thoughts, feelings, all of that, and really consider your primary relationship. I think the fact that this is connecting to your friend group, it's not that you're this is a trine, so it's good, right? This is not that you're gonna friend zone your lover. This is more, I think, that you're gonna go deep and recognize that there's a connection, right? You wanna be with somebody who is your friend, who is part of your tribe, not just like, yeah, I got my girlfriends over here, and then I've got my partner over there. Like, no, that separation is not gonna work. Also, if your friends have been at all judgy about your partner, that might be a thing that it's like, y'all, uh-uh, that's not gonna fly anymore either, right? So there's something about bringing those two, the friend group and the one-on-one relationship group, having them come together in a way that really empowers both. Make sense? I hope that made sense. All right, Virgo, we've got Mars and Uranus in your 10th house of career. We've got Pluto in your sixth house of day-to-day work. Now, sixth house is also physical health, and y'all know that that's how I generally read sixth house, but not when it's communicating to the 10th. This is a work aspect. So this is you really insisting that you are allowed to show up, that you are accepted at work for who you are, that your ideas are valued, that your communication style is valued. And again, it's that take it or leave it. Remember, Mars is the separator. I should have probably said that way up front. But if people aren't liking your rebel urine as self, you're gonna like give them the finger and move on, basically, is what I'm trying to say here. Pluto, in your sixth house, you may be really looking at like, how is my day-to-day work structured? Does this support me? Am I empowered working like this? Is this what I want to do? Is this how I'm best able to express myself? And so you may be making changes around the actual job, like quitting one, starting another. This is another self-employment possibility, but just really making sure that how you work, where you work, um, how you're able to be at work, all of that is aligned to your truest, deepest self.

Libra To Scorpio Sign Forecasts

SPEAKER_00 19:55

Okay, Libra, Mars and Uranus, Mars is in your ninth house of spirituality, higher education, and foreign travel and um culture. Pluto is in your fifth house of creativity. And remember everybody, when I'm talking about creativity, I don't just mean, though I do mean the writers and artists and actors out there. Of course, I mean them. It's the house of creativity, but I just mean living a creative life, approaching the world with the wonder of a child who's inventing the world as they move through it. It's also the house of children, right? And being childlike. Ninth house is spirituality, and this I think is going to be about getting more creative, having more fun spiritually. Does that make sense? It could all yeah, that's what I think it's gonna be for you guys. Um, this is really about like I am not interested in a heavy-handed spiritual framework that's got its thumb on my head with all the don't do this, you're a bad sin, yeah, you know, whatever, whatever yours does. And that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be an organized religion. You know, we uh solitary practitioner pagans can also get into some weird, you know, rule-based kind of thinking. So I'm not singling out any kind of religion here. I'm just saying anywhere that your spirituality has been sort of restrictive, heavy handed, that kind of thing, the Mars Uranus thing already is saying, get out of that box, right? But with this trying to Pluto and creativity, it's about how are you? Co-creating the universe. How are you co-creating your reality, your world, your life? This is really stepping into that co-creation kind of space, but it's gonna take first going deep inside yourself, all right? Oh, that's intense. All right, Scorpio, we've got Mars and Uranus are in your eighth house of joint finances, also fear and trauma. Pluto is in your fourth house of home and family. This could have to do with really getting uh more empowered, more fired up about creating a nest egg kind of thing, joint finances, you know, your investments, the money you pool together with your partner, that kind of thing that benefits home and family and the deep true vision you have for what you want your home and family to be like. But I don't think that's gonna be for most of you. I think for most of you, you're gonna be saying to family. Now, whether that's family, meaning family of origin that raised you, or the family now that you've created for yourself or both, we're saying I have done a lot of deep work on myself, and I am going to stand in my power with my family. And in doing that, I am going to address old trauma, old fear, and especially the kind of trauma around being judged by family, not being allowed to be your authentic self, anything having to do with that. They don't like your sexuality, they don't like your values, they don't like your what the heck ever it is, they don't like. Yeah, you're gonna be like, uh-uh. No more with that, right? I think it's gonna be very, very healing. And I think there's gonna be a family reckoning. That's what I think. Okay, Sagittarius, this is it.

Sagittarius To Capricorn Sign Forecasts

SPEAKER_00 24:15

Um Mars is in your seventh house of primary one-on-one relationship. Pluto is in your third house of communication. So, what does this mean? This one's, I think, pretty obvious. This is going to your partner if you have one. Um, and I'll address the if you don't in just a second. But if you have a partner, this is really gonna be like, you know what, honey, let's talk because I've gone through some changes. I want to communicate those to you. That's Pluto in the third. And I need to be able to be my authentic self in this relationship, and I haven't felt empowered to do so for a while. And again, this is not gonna be coming from blame because this is gonna be you going deep in that Pluto way and facing ways that you've given up your power to your partner, but it's gonna be like I'm reclaiming it. This is who I am, this is who I want to be in relationship, and it's either that or we don't go. Now, if you're not partnered, first off, seventh house is any kind of super significant one-on-one relationship. So sometimes for people, this is a business partner, uh a doctor who's very, very important in their lives right now. Um, so any very fundamentally important one-on-one partner. It could show up for you who are not in a love relationship. It could show up that way. But it also could just show up in your sense of what you're looking for. It could be like I've been too needy or I've been too desperate. I've been kind of going out with whatever because I really, really long to be in a relationship. I really crave that in my life. And maybe I haven't been as discerning as I should have been. And so you may be getting clear on what it is you're looking for. Okay. So that it's a very self-empowering kind of thing. With that self-empowerment, by the way, I think it's way more likely you will find your romantic partner. Just saying. Okay, for Capricorn, Mars is in your sixth house of day-to-day work, but also physical health. Pluto is in your second house of money. So just like I said for, I think it was Virgo, when you've got the sixth connected with something like 10th career, second money, that kind of thing, we can pretty much assume that sixth house is gonna have to do with work. So, Capricorn, for you, I'm reading this as day-to-day work. Pluto is over in money. So, this is really like analyzing how do I spend my days? How am I spending my time? How many hours? How much am I putting in? Am I getting a fair return on that? Do I need to raise my rates? Do I need to renegotiate a contract? Do I need to, in some ways, uh restructure how I work so that the money piece of it is more what I'm I deserve and what I'm worth? Um, so it could be stuff like that. The other thing that it could be, this is another one where I'm wondering about self-employment because Uranus the Rebel, right there with Mars in your day-to-day work, and it goes straight over to your money. So, how are you making your money in that really authentic you you kind of way? Uh, that with the stuff you're doing in your day-to-day work could also be turning something that you haven't seen as work, like a day-to-day, like I bake cookies every day, and I never thought of selling cookies. Something you do on a regular basis that actually could be earning you money or be turned into a career. So look for those kind of connections. But this has to be really empowering who you are. Okay, you need to be making your money because what you do every day is good for you, is you, your true self. And if it's not, you need to do some other thing. That's what I'm saying.

Aquarius To Pisces Sign Forecasts

SPEAKER_00 29:04

Okay, Aquarius, Mars is in your fifth house of creativity, and Pluto is in you. This is about going real, this is very personal, okay? This is about going very deep into yours into yourself. That's that Pluto first house, right? Pluto's always about going deep into ourselves, and this is happening in you. So, this is gonna have to do with getting really clear on your identity, how you want to show up in the world, how you want people to see you, and all of that. And how is that? As a creator, as a creative person, as a rebel force in the world. This is really amazing. For any of you who are artists, legit, this is cool. This is about really um bringing your own creative art, whatever you do creatively, aligning it with your truest self and bringing it into the light. But if you're not an artist, this again will have to deal with living more creatively to empower you. Got it? Oh, that's deep. All right, Pisces, last but never least. Mars is in your fourth house of home and family. Pluto is in your 12th house, the house of working behind the scenes, the house of solitude and time alone. This could be a time when you're really looking at mental health, that's also 12th house, and looking at your deepest needs, your own personal deepest needs, and maybe trauma or mental health kinds of issues that have been impacting you in the area of family. Yeah, you may find that you've been in the past sort of conforming or hiding yourself or hiding some of your trauma because you don't want to rock the boat in your family dynamics. Like you don't want to be the one that's difficult, or oh, I'm the one who has to go to therapy, you know, or whatever. I'm the one asking for family therapy or marriage counseling or whatever. And it's like all rocking the boat. No, whatever it is with your mental health, that's got that's gotta go, right? That's gotta go. You need to be yourself and you need to be able to deal with whatever these issues are that will have something to do with family. You need to be able to deal with these things with your family, but you need to be able to deal with them openly and honestly. The other thing I will say that this is you may find that some of you are leaving home for a little while to go on retreat or something like that. That doesn't even necessarily mean like leaving home, like I'm leaving you. But you may find that to deal with whatever's coming up for you this week, you may decide that you need to go on a retreat of some kind as you're kind of getting in touch with all of this. But remember, this is a trying. Whatever happens between you and the family, this will ultimately be a good thing. It might involve sharing more, letting your family see you for who you really are, and trusting that that's gonna be a good thing. Okay.

Closing Thoughts And Share Request

SPEAKER_00 32:47

It's a powerful configuration, you all. I mean, this is powerful for everyone all week. This is gonna, the energy is gonna stay for a while. So don't think, I mean, not a long, long while, but you got a week or two that this could all be playing out. And it may just be that it gets set in motion this week, and you find that this is playing out longer because at least Pluto is gonna be in that house for a good long time, right? So, yeah, and Uranus is gonna be there for years too. So, yeah, I think this is a long transformation, but I think a significant bit of it is gonna be starting this week. All right. I hope that made sense and is helpful. I'm grateful to all of you for sticking around. And again, thank you so much. And please share the podcast. Please, please, please share the podcast. I would be super grateful for that. And until next week, go out and seize the energies of the stars. This is my wish for you always. Alright, bye.
