New Moon in Leo July 24th, 2025

Updated: Aug 6

We have reached the point in the year where we now get to pause and regroup,

to take a breath and reflect.

We have Saturn, Neptune and Mercury Retrograde. The forward push for the more has slowed to take stock of what is right in front of us, and actually Eris & Chiron too,

will be retrograde by the time this month is over -

that makes it 5 planets stationing retrograde in the month of July.

The turning inwards to feel the deeper nuances of how far we have come, will be until November/December when the forward movement begins once more at

the Master end degrees of Pisces.

We are being asked to stay grounded, (Saturn), to prune away the peripheral, the unnecessary chaff in our lives, whilst Neptune dissolves that which is not in alignment with Love. We will revisit and comb over terrain that we have crossed to recheck and perhaps

re-tell an old story into a new one.

The energies of the New Moon itself have a beautiful trine - support and flow from the retrograding Neptune and Saturn to the New Moon and Sun. What a perfectly orchestrated backup for us to take inwards, whilst Haumea squares the New Moon and Sun suggesteing to keep the inspirational creativity cooking in essence.

New Moon in Leo July 24th 2025 — Hermes ~ Mercury Retrograde

In this particular Blog, I want to include my friend Kristin Fontana's words that she wrote in her email that arrived yesterday ~ she literally blew me away

and I want to include her words here for you all.

I asked for her permission and she gave it to me.

We are standing at the edge of an evolutionary threshold.

There are moments in the sky—mirrored by moments in our lives—when time slows down just enough for us to see clearly what we’ve been rushing past. When Saturn, the great teacher and architect of karmic law, turns retrograde, it doesn’t just signal a change in the heavens—it initiates a deep inner turning. A pause. A reckoning. A sacred summons back to ourselves.

This isn’t a detour. It’s a recalibration of destiny.

In Aries, the sign of the warrior, Saturn retrograde invites us to harness fire not for destruction, but for refinement. To burn through illusion. To clarify our commitments. To become stronger, more focused, and more aligned with what truly matters. This is a season of discipline—not to punish, but to prepare. To shape you into the person who can carry the vision your Soul has been entrusted with.

She then went on to include, her friends and mentors words,

that she has gathered and passed on ~

- so I am paying it forward to you all.

Saturn Retrograde is a Spiritual Audit.

It won’t let you graduate until every corner of your soul is cleaned out. Saturn is turning back with a red pen in hand. If you’ve been coasting spiritually, cutting corners, or avoiding growth behind the scenes, this will test you.

If you’ve been honoring your path, this retrograde might feel different. It’s a strange calm in the middle of the noise. While others spiral, you feel steady. This isn’t luck, but spiritual credit finally kicking in.

Still, don’t get comfortable. The veil is thinning.

Saturn will be retrograde:

• July 12, 2025: Saturn stations retrograde in Aries.

• September 1, 2025: Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces.

• November 27, 2025: Saturn turns direct in Pisces.

• February 14, 2026: Saturn re-enters Aries.

Once you realize how loud the quiet signs are, you’ll never un-see them again.

It’s a time for tests. Nothing is random—and I mean nothing.

Some prayers will return with divine energy, with approvals that manifest instantly. Some prayers will be returned to sender.

Welcome to the Divine Sorting Window.

Not every request gets the green light. Your spiritual inbox is bursting open. Trust the friction. Let your body slow down. Let your system update. It’s preparation. It is a rewiring of your body, your timeline,

and your awareness.

Spiritual training wheels are coming off. The portals have been opened; the prayers have been logged. It’s time for discipline.

When you:

Double down on your practices
Maintain strong boundaries
Avoid distractions

You will start to separate from the masses.

Hold the Line.

you pass this phase,

Your manifestation window widens.

You stop looping and start ascending.

Look for signs. Listen for what’s whispering underneath the noise. Watch for who reappears. What offers return? What ideas tug again?

This is the chapter where everything buried starts to claw its way to the surface.

Those who reflect—and do not resist—will rise.

The people around you are a test. You are surrounded by lessons dressed as people—the arguments, the distance, the tension. Saturn is using everyone around you as curriculum: every conversation, every subtle betrayal, and every weird vibe from someone you thought you knew.

But hear this: Saturn isn’t punishing you. It’s pruning your life to make space for what actually aligns. The truth is, some of these relationships were karmic dead ends—contracts that served their purpose but are now expiring. Holding on will only drag you back.

Letting go is the upgrade.

And it’s not always obvious what the sacrifice is. Sometimes it’s sleep. Sometimes it’s approval. Sometimes it’s the comfort to stay quiet when your voice could change everything. Success right now requires tension, discipline, and repetition without reward—at first.

You’ll have to move when no one is watching. Show up when motivation is dead. Execute when doubt is screaming. Saturn is putting weights on your spirit—not to break you, but to build strength you didn’t know you had.

Keep going. The pain is proof you’re close. You’ll feel tempted to delay. To wait until it’s the “right” time. But Saturn’s retrograde is the right time—because it forces you to drop the excuses and get honest about your work ethic, your focus, your priorities.

There’s no divine handout coming. Just divine accountability.

And if you do the work—and you pay the price in focus, sacrifice, and relentless intention—Saturn delivers legacy.

Not just wins.

Legacy.

Something that lasts.

Something you don’t have to chase anymore.

Most people don’t miss their destiny because they failed.

They miss it because they froze.

That project you’re sitting on. That difficult conversation you keep dodging.

That leap you know you’re supposed to take—it won’t wait forever. Some chances expire—not because they weren’t meant for you, but because you weren’t willing to meet them.

Saturn doesn’t negotiate with indecision.

You have entered the in-between: the part where who you used to be has dissolved, but who you’re becoming hasn’t arrived yet. It’s about unbecoming everything you were never meant to be.

You fear you are not strong enough to do the hardest thing—only because you don't yet know that doing the hardest thing is exactly what will help you know your strength. ~ Andrea Gibson

The chaos is sacred. That’s Saturn, clearing the stage for your real entrance. You are not falling apart; you are stepping out of costume.

Saturn Retrograde opens a door—quiet, powerful, and full of potential. The path to it may be obscured by doubts, delays, or old fears. Face them. Move through them. Climb over if you must. They are only temporary illusions guarding your growth.

Tend the fire within.

Let it burn steady and strong, so when the moment comes, you have the courage to step through—before the door swings closed.
