July 14 through July 20, 2025

Heads up! We’ve got Mercury turning retrograde on Wednesday, and you know what that means? Electronic glitches, miscommunication, lost objects, and unexpected changes in our plans and directions. Take heart though, as all these events are designed to heighten our attention, call on us to reconsider our plans and goals, and remind us to practice more diligence for the next three weeks. Another thing Mercury retrograde is good for is bringing the answers or resolutions to long-standing problems, so watch for new insights to emerge in areas that have been in limbo for a while. The Pisces Moon on Monday and Tuesday will make it difficult to get anything of a work nature done, but we can catch up on Wednesday and Thursday when the Moon dances into energy-rich Aries. Friday and Saturday unfold under a Taurus Moon, making for an easy-going weekend. We’ll wrap up the week under a Gemini Moon on Sunday, making this a great time to catch up with friends and loved ones near and far.

How the Moon Speaks, by Bernadette Evans

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

The word communication means different things to people. Of course, it's how a person speaks to another, but it's also how you interpret and relate to others. Are you someone who enjoys making light conversation with many individuals? Are you more comfortable engaging in one-to-one discussions? Everyone has their own comfort zone and style. Each day brings with it a different mood that affects all of us uniquely. Let's have fun exploring how a transiting Moon feels (and therefore communicates) in each of the zodiac signs.

Aries Moon
Aries is a fire sign. Fire is hot and can burn rather quickly. When the Moon is traveling through the sign of Aries, your thoughts and speech may be quicker, possibly even louder. You may feel impatient and want things and people to get to the point, which may cause you to blurt things out. This in itself can be a problem—you can never unsay something. Using some forethought, thinking before you speak, is always good advice but not always easy to do.

It's easy to initiate projects or to promote yourself with an Aries Moon. You could be more confident and assured, which makes selling yourself or a product less painful. Maybe you can project your voice more. This would be a great time to give a presentation.

An Aries Moon is ruled by the planet Mars, which is about action. Speak up and share your thoughts with friends, coworkers, and your boss. This energy can come off as pushy or aggressive at times. Be secure in your abilities and assertive without running someone else over.

Taurus Moon
Taurus is an earth sign. This energy moves slower, so you may be more careful and take your time when speaking with others. I always think of Ferdinand the Bull, and maybe that's because the symbol for the sign of Taurus is the bull. Ferdinand was gentle and took things at a leisurely pace. You may feel more grounded and proceed deliberately and calmly. Taurus also gets the label of being stubborn. There could be certain issues where you refuse to budge. Don't dig in your heels before hearing all sides.

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. This planet appreciates beauty and art. They say music can soothe the savage beast. (Congreve 1797, 13). When the Moon is transiting Taurus, put on your favorite music and sing along. You could also put on a soothing meditation or hypnosis track to ground you and get you into your body. When the Moon is here, maybe you'd like some quiet time—silence, just the sound of your own breath. Taurus likes to manifest and acquire worldly goods. There is also a concern around finances. Have an honest discussion about how to balance your budget with yourself or your significant other.

Gemini Moon
Gemini is an air sign, and air, like fire, moves fast. Thoughts and communication are coming and going quickly. In fact, you may not even have time to process everything before you become restless and feel the need to move on to something else. When the Moon is here, you'll be more than happy to share what you've learned with others; after all, this sign is ruled by Mercury, the "winged messenger."

When the Moon is in Gemini, there's a good chance you're socializing. It can be a light and friendly energy, and you communicate easily. Maybe you're keeping everyone laughing with your humorous anecdotes. You may discover you enjoy being the center of attention while regaling others with your stories. Remember to come up for air once in a while and leave space for others to respond.

Have fun learning, communicating, and playing with this energy. Enjoy the moment before you become distracted and move on to the next thing that grabs your attention.

Cancer Moon
Cancer is a water sign and, like earth, moves slowly. The sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which means it feels at home in this sign. When the Moon is here, you may feel the need to withdraw from other people, even if it's for half an hour. Sometimes that peace and quiet are just what you need to recharge your batteries. Then, at other times, surrounding yourself with the people you love is also in keeping with this energy. It's whatever nurtures you. Pay attention to your intuition and follow what feels right for you.

When the Moon is here, you could verbally express your love for others. You may find that you speak words of love, gratitude, or praise to your loved ones. Its also nice to show them you care by doing something that would make them happy.

This Moon is sensitive and intuitive. You may want to feel your way, just as if you're in a pool and feeling for the bottom before it drops off. Your conversations and speech may be slower; maybe you're protecting yourself. Feeling safe is important when the Moon is in Cancer. Do what feels right for you, tune in to the energy, and go from there.

Leo Moon
Leo is a fire sign, and you already know fire is fast. Did you know that the sign of Leo is ruled by the Sun? You could feel more energetic and enthusiastic when the Moon is here. Maybe you're bubblier and more outgoing! When tuning in to this energy, remember the activities you loved as a child. As adults, it's easy to get caught up in all the work you need to do everyday to keep the household running smoothly. Set some time aside to connect with your inner child and laugh. Laughing, smiling, and playing are good for your spirit.

A Leo Moon can amplify your generous and affectionate nature. Call up a friend and do something exciting. It's easy to be swept up in this energy, especially when you have a partner in crime!

Expressing yourself is a must. Singing, acting, or creating are essential for this energy to be happy and fulfilled. Maybe you can't see yourself getting up in front of people to sing or act; you can still sing to your heart's content at home. Have fun reciting lines from a movie you love. It doesn't matter what you do as long as it lights you up!

Virgo Moon
Virgo is an earth sign just like Taurus. Earth moves slowly. When the Moon is here, you may not communicate at all unless you are 110 percent sure of what you have to say. You could find you're critical and hard on yourself and sometimes others. It's not helpful to criticize yourself—or anyone, for that matter. Do the best you can and move on.

This sign is also ruled by the planet Mercury, the sign of the communicator. Learning and talking with people fills you up. You don't just want to spout theories, though. There's a need for the knowledge to be practical and useful. Otherwise, you may think, "What's the point?"

Use this energy wisely by creating some order. Maybe now is the time to dissect whether or not that sofa is in its optimum place. You may be able to analyze situations through a more objective lens. Having order could bring you peace of mind. You're not as willing to go into your feelings (or express them); you probably want to sit above them and focus on practical applications instead. Tune in to the energy and follow it. There will always be another time to connect with your feelings.

Libra Moon
Libra is an air sign, and just like the other air signs—Gemini and Aquarius—it moves quickly. When you speak, your words are transmitted through the air. Libra is the sign of balance and fairness. These themes usually play out in your relationships with other people.

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. The planet Venus's focus is on love and relationships. Maybe you need to have a conversation with your partner about sharing the workload or how to make things easier for each other. Take time to listen to what your partner wants and needs.

It's not all about balance and fairness—there's also romance. Why not put on some beautiful music and dance around the living room? Maybe reciting poetry is more your style. Reading something to your partner can be an aphrodisiac. You'll know what works best for you and in your relationships.

Scorpio Moon
Scorpio is a water sign. When the Moon is here, your emotions may be amplified. As you know, water moves slowly. Scorpio has a reputation for being sexual as well as being possessive. This sign is also one that enjoys meaningful conversations, talking about subjects that other people may shy away from.

Scorpio has two rulers: the traditional one is the planet Mars, and the modern ruler is Pluto. Mars likes to take action. Pluto does, too, but something has to die to be reborn. This brings us to the theme of transformation. Scorpio is known for death and rebirth, being transformed in the process.

When the Moon is transiting through Scorpio, your discussions could be of a more serious nature. You may not say a lot, but you'll be sure to get your point across when you need to. While the Moon is here, make time for the conversations that matter to you and your partner. Expressing yourself through lovemaking is also a beautiful use of the energy. Have fun exploring the Scorpionic side of your nature.

Sagittarius Moon
Sagittarius is the last of the fast-moving fire signs. This sign is known for being an explorer, being interested in education, and embracing other cultures and philosophies. The world is their playground. Freedom is important for Sagittarius, so you could find yourself dreaming about travel and getting away from it all.

Sagittarius is ruled by the planet of Jupiter. Jupiter is often called the "great benefic." Everyone loves Jupiter's optimism and generous spirit. It's the planet that does everything in a big way. It expands whatever it touches.

When the Moon is in Sagittarius, you may feel called to explore a different subject, maybe with a focus on religion or philosophy. Conversations could be quite interesting and varied. Since this is a fire sign, you may find yourself talking more quickly. Be conscious of talking over someone or sticking your foot in your mouth. Have fun and play while leaving room for others to join in the fun, too.

Capricorn Moon
Capricorn is the last of the slow-moving earth signs. This sign has a reputation for being a hard worker. All earth signs are diligent and like order and stability, but Capricorn is also known as a leader. It sets itself apart from the pack.

Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. This planet often doesn't get a lot of love, being called the "great malefic;" it's also called the "great timekeeper" or the "taskmaster." This energy says, "Work first, then you get to play." If it wasn't for Saturn kicking you in the butt, you wouldn't finish anything! Don't worry; in the end, you'll be recognized and rewarded for your hard work.

Communicating when the Moon is here could be challenging for you. Like everything, it will depend on your chart, your personality, and how you process. If you're someone who thrives on creating order, you may find it easy to say what you need. If not, you could feel restricted when the Moon is in Capricorn, unsure how to get your needs met. There's also the possibility you don't want to talk to anyone. You just want to do your work…alone. Figure out the best way to utilize this energy for you.

Aquarius Moon
The Aquarius Moon is the last of the quick-moving air signs. This sign is often thought of as the humanitarian. It thinks of what's best for everyone. Aquarius is also renowned for thinking outside of the box. You may receive sudden inspiration to solve a problem that's been plaguing you for ages.

This sign also has two rulers: Saturn, the traditional ruler, and Uranus, the modern ruler. As described above, Saturn can be a worker bee while Uranus thinks up unusual ways of doing things. Imagine what you can accomplish if you tap into the energy of both planets!

When the Moon is in the sign of Aquarius, you could suddenly be inspired to start a project. A new idea sparks something within, and you're off and running. Thoughts of how it could assist the collective are first and foremost in your mind. You may just spout off ideas. When the Moon is here, you may want to get together with friends to discuss interesting topics (not your usual run-of-the-mill convos). Everyone's contributions make the discussions rich.

Pisces Moon
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, as well as the last of the slow-moving water signs. As you already know, water is sensitive and impressionable. This sign is also known for being intuitive and psychic, as well as imaginative.

This sign has two rulers assigned to it, too. The traditional ruler is Jupiter, and the modern-day ruler is Neptune. Jupiter is optimistic and generous while Neptune can be creative and a dreamer. It's a lovely energy, if you put it to work. You could create something beautiful, just relax and watch a movie, or stroll through an art gallery.

Conversations could be dreamy, or they could be confusing. When the Moon's in Pisces, your intuition can be heightened. You may decide to sit quietly and either communicate with yourself or with spirit. There's also the possibility of getting your wires crossed when speaking with others. Make sure you're clear on what they mean and vice versa.

Final Thoughts
The Moon plays a big part in your everyday life. Whenever it changes signs, the energy shifts. Of course, it's not the only player in the universe; it's interacting with the other planets all the time. You choose how your day plays out as you interact with the planetary energies and the world around you. Have fun molding your unique creation. As always, have fun surfing the cosmic waves.

What's up with deja vu?

I must admit I feel somewhat silly doing this, and if you're a psychic, you know why. I feel like I am always getting deja vu, like things I'm experiencing have already happened. I get it a lot. I think I have dreams that come true too. I feel really weird when it happens. It's like I zone out for a second. I'm tempted to think this is some glitch of the imagination, but something compels me to think otherwise. If it's real, what is it? I want to know how I know, and how I can make it stronger. You probably get questions like this a lot, so it's okay if you don't get to mine. Have a nice day!

- Christian

Dreamchaser:

This is such a common occurrence, yet we very seldom discuss it in groups. It is something that is just considered one of those things. If you were to discuss this with other people, most of the time they would say something like, "Oh yes! That happens to me too!"

I think the most common explanation of deja vu is that we are experiencing a memory from a past life. The term itself means "already visited." I know I have been places there was NO WAY I could have known in this life, yet I knew what was around the next corner, or knew I had been there before. What you are experiencing really is quite normal. I would venture to say it has happened to every human being at least once.

I have also wondered if deja vu is something we are shown in our sleep. We know that when we sleep, our souls leave their bodies. We are often prepared for the day to come while we are sleeping the night before. I think in many ways, deja vu is accompanied by a sense of "I know everything about this place and the people in it." In some cases, deja vu may very well not be a memory of the past, but of the future - a knowing of what is to come.

I think the dreams you mention are part of this sleep preparation process, and that is why you know what is to come. I would really like for you to keep a pen and pad by your bedside. Each time you wake up, please immediately write down anything that comes into your head. If you had a dream or even if you have thoughts that seem random, write them down. Just record everything. Do not re-read anything until it is at least two weeks old. See what you learn about your sleep process.

When we "zone out," I believe we actually enter a real life time warp. For those moments in time, our past, present and future lives converge. This makes it feel like time has slowed or stopped. As we come back to earth, time seems to pick right back up, but we are left with this feeling like something very strange just happened.

I do not think deja vu is something we can make happen. I do think that you can try to work on being connected with all that is in every place you go, however. When you go to a new place, stop and root yourself to the floor and try to feel the energy of the building and the land that the building is on. Feel your feet in your shoes and how the floor feels. Take deep, steady breaths and get quiet. You WILL feel energy. By becoming connected, you have that "connection" that you feel when you are experiencing deja vu. That connection is what you are after anyway.

I wish you connectivity.

Astrea:

There is nothing silly about wondering about experiences of deja vu, which happens to everyone at least now and then. Usually as we get older, we have fewer such experiences, for we grow more distant from our other former incarnations. In French, "deja" means "before" and "vu" means "see," so deja vu means seeing something before we get there.

To understand WHY this happens to you with such frequency, you must get in touch with your past lives. Often these episodes relate to LESSONS that we failed to learn when we were born as humans before this time. Find someone who does past life regression, or someone who can at least give you some kind of insight into where you were and how you lived before you came to earth this time.

You may gain direction on what you're supposed to be doing and learning this time. If you're noticing that deja vu is happening almost daily, it's time to find out why.

Keep a deja vu journal or notebook, and start recording your dreams to see if they hold messages regarding what you're supposed to be paying attention to in your waking life. Write down all such experiences as they happen to you during the day. It is much easier to record these feelings as they happen so you don't forget.

Once you've done this for about three months, you'll start to see PATTERNS emerge with these experiences. Even though they won't be the SAME, there will be SIMILAR ones that can be divided into categories. Some will concern family members and friends. This is one way to see who you are with in this life that you have been with in other lives. Some will be personal messages just for you, but those will take on patterns, also. You'll be able to see why you keep having these flashbacks to the past.

Once you've divided these experiences into your own categories, you'll be able to access these PAST life issues via meditation. Set aside at least an hour to look into these groups of incidents or feelings, especially those that seem different from all the others. Insights will come to you like you can't imagine!

Your Guides and Angels are ready to help you with this task, so don't forget to ask for their help before you begin any such process or meditation. They will help you get a clear handle on what these experiences are supposed to mean to you, or at least teach you about yourself and your lessons this lifetime. Remember, the more past lives you've had, the harder your head is! Learn the lessons that your deja vu experiences are highlighting now, so you can move on peacefully into the Light of All Being.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
