Astrology Forecast 🌟 July 6-13
I would be lying if I didn’t say I almost buckled in embarrassment & regret when I opened up my Substack dashboard not once, but twice, to two weeks of my publications sitting in my drafts. Unfortunately, I’ve had my hands in too many baskets lately, and it showed by totally missing the mark on getting those newsletters out the door. It’s safe to say that won’t be happening again, and I’ll be sure to triple-check my schedule dates for posts. A true “face-palm” moment from my week.
While yes, my body dips into shame as I write this, I want to be real with y’all. I want it to be known and factual that I’m a real human being who messes up sometimes. I certainly don’t have all the answers, and I goof up just like the rest of us. The internet has a funny way of holding us to this unrealistic expectation, and while it might be easy to get mad at myself — I’m instead choosing compassion and saying, “Wow, I’m glad you didn’t let this totally derail you”.
If anything, let my moment of “oh shit” remind you that you can recover from difficult & embarassing moments that pop up, too. Lean into laughing through it and finding a tiny glimmer of hope.
A tiny win, though, is that I finished rebranding my website! Check it out here, and let me know what you think! As always, I was the one doing the coding, designing, and tedious transfers. You can find me on all social platforms as The Cosmic Craft!

Last week: July 4 Venus in Gemini
Like I said in this video, Venus in Gemini is the perfect time to get creative, like really pushing your own boundaries. I’m talking workshopping, rebranding, and restructuring. It’ll ingress again at the end of the month, so be intentional about what you curate in July, so you can witness the definition of the energy between now and the end of the month.
You have the innate ability to work through some bloackages that you’ve been holding onto, subconscious or not. Do something with that energy and transmute it into your style, branding, or art. Twist and turn on different ways to express yourself creatively. Try new ways of self-expression, but just make sure it’s nothing permanent. Think more along the lines of experimentation and doing things for the sake of the plot. If you have a safe container to workshop different ideas and musings, now is the time to yap with those people and get to the nitty gritty, speak into existence that transformation and expansion that you’ve been waiting to claim.
July 10 | Finding stability through the waves
Full Moon in Capricorn
Full moons can be a bit intense, especially in Earth signs like Capricorn. It’s better to stay low-key today and not do anything that might lead to embarrassment or push you beyond your emotional means. The water-Sun and Earth-based-Moon tells me that it’ll be a doozy. Be prepared to not feel seen, heard, or like your opinion is of value. Not that any of that is true, and by all means, lean into knowing that it’s untrue throughout the whole day. But it helps to be aware that these untrue thoughts might be ruminating around.
Take a break from creative projects, romantic gestures, and difficult conversations if you can. Today isn’t the day to push yourself, and perhaps react emotionally when you otherwise wouldn’t. That feeling of emotional hijacking isn’t fun to experience or witness, so if you run into it in any capacity, try to have grace for yourself or others if necessary. Protecting your peace is important for this transit, since the embarrassment, self-doubt, or weariness can linger on past this lunation. Veiling or head covering is a good idea if you can’t help but be in public, or utilize something like protective oils or your crystals.
Veil of quiet strength: Anoint your temples with lavender oil or your oil of choice, then wrap your head with a scarf or veil. As you do, speak aloud: “I protect my thoughts, I protect my peace.” This acts as an energetic boundary to help you move through the day with calm confidence.
July 13 | Reviewing your baggage
Saturn stations retrograde in Aries
Saturn will be slowly, ever so slowly, making its way back into Pisces, which ingresses on September 1st. Those of you having your natal Saturn in Aries or Pisces, along with any prominent placements in those houses, will feel this transit the most.
Saturn shifts can oftentimes be seen among the collective in a wide array of hues. This can look like a resurfacing of woes that you thought were long gone, ancestral trauma, or perhaps even wounds that you thought you worked through or were recently resolved. If anything intense pops up, it’s important to push past the initial feelings to self-isolate and rely on your community. Above all else, know that there are folks around you waiting and wanting to care. If you don’t feel like you have that circle around you, go out and find it. Especially while Saturn is in Pisces, engaging in social work, food kitchens, or volunteer work can feel like you’re actually making a difference instead of stagnant reclusion.
Saturn’s backward movement into Aries is something we’ve experienced before, and it serves as a unique moment to make things right. If there’s something you wish you said, did, or handled differently — you might get the time to course-correct during its retrograde. Make luck happen where you see fit, and be on the lookout for these types of opportunities.
Remember to ground: Fill a small jar with black salt, rosemary, and a personal item that reminds you of your resilience. Seal it while saying, “I honor the lessons of the past and welcome strength for the road ahead.” Keep it on your altar or carry it during the retrograde for grounding and clarity. You can also use a satchet for easy travel in pockets or purses.
