What do the stars have in store for us this summer?

We asked Laurène Moraglia, who coaches through astrology and walking, what our summer will be like. Her answer was very clear: "Intense! Rare planets will shake up our lines of conduct and our thoughts. In these conditions, one piece of advice: listen to your sparkling heart, keep your solar plexus open. If something new appeals to you, go for it; if not, change course." And will you ride the wave of change?

Major upheavals are coming. A tipping point you've perhaps been waiting for to plunge into the unknown. The transpersonal planets—Neptune, Saturn, Uranus—in beautiful aspect to Pluto, are preparing to shake up the collective paradigm, your beliefs, your lines of thought. A foretaste of what the coming years could hold.

Uranus, the planet of sudden change, will move into Gemini from July 8 to November 8 (the last time was 84 years ago): a cosmic teaser of what it will revolutionize in you, before settling in permanently from 2026 to 2033. But all this is happening behind the scenes, so that you can draw on your own resources to find what will emerge later.

Summer will be marked by Mercury and Saturn retrogrades, which slow down or obscure your reality. Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, retrogrades in Leo and invites you to listen to your inner voice, slow down, question your movements, prioritize nonverbal communication, and reconnect with your creative inner child. Venus, in Gemini and ruled by this Mercury retrograde (from July 4 to August 1), will give this introspection a welcome lightness.

Saturn retrograde will deconstruct your beliefs, push you to push your limits, and find other solutions to clarify situations. This will help you readjust your trajectory and let go of what no longer matters.

On July 4th, the Uranus-Venus conjunction at 29° Taurus, in good aspect with Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn/Neptune in Aries, has already helped you to take stock (since 2018) of your relationship with pleasures, food, possessions, and consumption of the Earth. This is an opportunity to review your ideas on these subjects in favor of collective actions and less individualistic projects. Pleasures will perhaps be more spiritual, more respectful of your health and that of the planet, with a surge of compassion for everything around you.

In July, in the sign of Aries, a powerful Neptune-Saturn conjunction (which only occurs every 37 years) will allow you to either structure your dreams or confront what you are running away from or idealizing, bringing you back to a well-anchored reality.
This conjunction will favor action for the fire and air signs, and will challenge the others.
