July 2024: Getting Comfortable with the Uncomfortable
-
Both Saturn and Neptune stationed retrograde at the end of June so we are moving into a period of transition.
In astrology, Saturn is the planet of responsibility, structure, and discipline. It's also known as the "Great Teacher" planet, and is said to teach the value of patience and sacrifice. Saturn's placement in your birth chart can indicate how you handle challenges, responsibilities, and work towards your goals.
On the other hand, Neptune is associated with our dreams, imagination, and the spiritual realm. It's also known as a generational planet because it spends about 14 years in each sign of the zodiac, meaning Neptune's energy is felt across generations and beyond the individual, influencing long-term experiences and entire epochs.
Because both of these signs are stationed retrograde in Pisces until November and December, your external world may seem extremely foggy and confusing for the next few months. This month is the time to turn inward and radically reassess your current boundaries and systems so they support the life you want to manifest. Rather than continuing in a haze of idealism, you are being nudged towards pragmatism and tangibility.
You are being encouraged to ask yourself if your everyday actions and habits are currently lining up with your dreams. If they’re not, what do you need to change?
Here are questions to ask yourself
What do you really want in life?
Do I need to give shape to my vague dreams?
Do I need to redefine realistic goals to get me there?
Or do I just need to let my dreams or goals go all together and pivot to something more aligned?
This process won’t always be comfortable. Separating your idealism from reality can come as a shock or bring disappointment. But letting something go doesn’t mean you failed, it simply means you are reassessing what you truly want to pour your energy into.
