✨Weekly Oracle & Celestial Guidance: July 13 - 19 '25
:*:･ﾟ☆ 11. PEACE ★,｡･:*:
This month's Oracle deck is TAO Oracle by Ma Deva Padma, with the changing or stable nature of the oracle.
These cards, containing photos of original paintings representing "portraits" of the faces of change regarding the various aspects of TAO. The cards are catalysts to promote a deeper understanding, recognition, and acceptance of the dynamics of change as it impacts our daily lives. The core illustrations, as well as the symbols, colors, and keywords, are the channels through which understanding, recognition, and acceptance can be realized.
To experience peace on any level is a blessing. It represents a state of perfect balance, appearing as a still point in the eternally changing climate that is Tao. These periods of harmony mark the delicate period of transition between darkness and light, the moments of dawn or dusk, when all feels right with the world and one experiences a deep sense of well-being and freedom.
Such moments are luminous and shimmer with promise. Heaven is manifest on earth and life feels divine.
When we are at peace, the outlook is clear and positive. New undertakings seem well worth the effort, and all our dreams are within reach. Life is exhilarating and uplifting once again; new possibilities appear out of the blue, unfolding effortlessly. Past struggles suddenly seem to have faded away and the road is clear to progress in any direction we choose.
As perfect as it all seems, don't miss the opportunity being offered now by squandering the time in self-indulgence. Present conditions come with a caution: Use the gift of this moment well. Do not become lulled into unconsciousness during this period, for the delicate balance of peace can easily be lost through lack of awareness.
We tend to fall asleep or lose awareness when peace descends, because the child in us wants to believe that everything is finally as it's supposed to be and should stay that way forever, as in a fairy tale. But nothing stays the same forever; life is an ongoing journey, a dance of light and shadow, and our lives are fleeting reflection of that vast movement, not the source of it. You must remember that you are a part of a flow an learn to move in sync with it, rather than against it. In the natural cycle of things, there is a time for fruition and a time for dissolution.
These aspects are not in opposition to each other; one is not good and the other bad; rather, they flow into one another and are inter dependent. Stop worrying about things you can't control and getting lost in detail and expand your inner vision to encompass this understanding. Embrace the holistic view of things.
You can be certain that the present conditions will not last indefinitely, so use this time to reach out to life with your whole being. Let others know your dreams and plans. Be open to whatever comes your way and consider every possibility; there are great opportunities hidden in the most unexpected places. Whatever your dream, you will attract the support needed to set the wheels in motion.
Take time to consider the influences that have brought about this moment, for harmony and well-being are born from balancing extremes. In nature, the sweetness of springtime invariably follows winter's restrictions, and the same applies in our own lives, both inner and outer. When we are great, we are a reflection of the greater. When we are foolish, we have forgotten that, whether bad or good, we are always children of the Tao.
Changing Lines:
Bottom line: This is a time of expansiveness, when it is possible to have a positive influence. Although there may be problems; by working gently and diligently you can weed them out and clear the way for progress. Joining forces with others of like mind, in an atmosphere of cooperation, increases the well-being of all.
Top Line: Accepting the situation without fighting it or bemoaning your fate requires self-discipline and maturity. Put your energy into strengthening meaningful relationships and pay greater attention to areas you have neglected, in either relations with others or your own well-being.

In addition to Saturn stationing retrograde @ 12:07 AM, EDT, Sunday, the void-of-course Moon in Aquarius will sextile Chiron in Aries midafternoon. The lunar void may bring unexpected or uncontrolled emotions. Healing through contrast is a sign of a paradigm shift. Something is moving, trying to break free of painful constraints.
Medea retrograde re-enters Capricorn early Monday morning. This transit can affect us physically, mentally, and spiritually. Physical symptoms may include increased fatigue and idleness. Avoiding melancholia offers an opportunity for reflection and growth by reviewing the alchemical creations that can transform our personal or professional lives.
Moon in Pisces trine the Sun in Cancer early Tuesday afternoon, taking us back to the weekly oracle card, Peace. This ushers in a harmonic energy; however, there's a danger of becoming complacent. Reread this week's Oracle message on how to work Peace.
Wednesday brings two conjunctions between the Moon & Saturn Rx and Neptune Rx in Aries. We may feel emotionally emboldened and intuitively ready; however, now is not the time to be bold. With Saturn and Neptune retrograde, and Mercury in its storm on the eve of its retrograde, careful consideration of potential consequences are advised.
Thursday evening brings the Last Quarter Square Moon in Aries. It's time to get serious and evaluate whatever strategies are not working. Don't allow ego to interfere and convince us that our decisions are right or guilt intercede by persuading us that our decisions have destroyed any hope. The only thing either one of these will supply is the spinning of our wheels deeper into the muck of non-accomplishment.
Mercury stations retrograde Friday morning and Uranus conjunct Psyche in Gemini Friday night. Something unsettling may be afoot, so expect the unexpected. But know whatever happens will work out for the best in regard to our wishes, hopes, and goals.
Mid Saturday morning, the Sun in Cancer square Chiron in Aries. This aspect is between two slower-moving planets; therefore, will remain partile until this evening. We may experience discontentment from expectations, whether from others or our self.
Healthy "escapism" is withdrawal to contemplate our next move in the face of limitations, while realizing how far we've come. Our higher mind is here for us despite how hopeless something may seem.

🪐Saturn stationed retrograde @ 12:07 EDT this morning.
Lunar Aspects
Midafternoon the void-of-course Moon in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries. The lunar void may bring unexpected or uncontrolled emotions. We may laugh but feel we should be crying.
Healing through contrast is a sign of a paradigm shift. Something is moving, trying to break free of painful constraints. It could be physical, emotional, or mental. Allowing it to rise enables us to identify the source and balance ourselves.
Tonight, the Moon in Pisces square Uranus in Gemini. The Moon is no longer void, but we can expect the unexpected through an awakening, the power of our creative will, political activism, or humanitarian efforts.
Eschew escapism through addictive substances or behavior. You are being called to overcome this challenge. Rely on your intellect rather than overwhelming emotions at this time.

Midmorning the Moon in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer. Pent-up or restless energy can be expelled through playfulness in relationships. This eases the tension and raises the vigor of determination and ambition.
Sharing our dreams, hopes, wishes, and goals is the first step to manifesting them through belief.
Late afternoon the Moon in Pisces square Venus in Gemini. Use wisdom and caution in where you place your faith. Striving to emulate an ideal reflected in another person can be an inspirational blessing; however, it can also be a curse.
Check your intuition before fully committing yourself to another's ideals. If it feels "off" - then it most likely is.

💫 Moral flourishes and productivity increases when we feel appreciated.
Early afternoon the Moon in Pisces trine the Sun in Cancer. A trine is typically a favorable aspect portending a flow and ease between planetary energies. However, there's a danger here of becoming complacent and/or over-confident to the point of indolence or rebellion against authority.
Lightening up the workload can ease tensions and improve our mental outlook, allowing us to continue without feeling like giving up or revolting against the establishment.
If in a leadership position, nurture your subordinates by doing something special, like calling in lunch or another surprise of sorts. Moral will flourish and productivity will increase willingly.

Overnight the Moon will conjunct Saturn & Neptune Rx in Aries. This dual energy will carry over through the morning. We may feel emotionally emboldened and intuitively ready; however, now is not the time to be bold.
With Saturn and Neptune retrograde, and Mercury in its storm on the eve of its retrograde, it may not be best not to jump into something without careful consideration of all its components and potential consequences. It IS a perfect time to evaluate, investigate, and plan a course of action.
Right on the heels of this energy is a lunar sextile with Pluto Rx in Aquarius. Exercise caution in what you share. Boastful professions and prideful displays may backfire. Remain humble and grounded in virtue and integrity.
The time will come for such exhibits without having to worry about a misfire. Stay the course—something is transforming but needs dedication and more work.
Midafternoon the Moon in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer, presenting opportunity through challenge to gain ground through higher thought. Be generous with your praise; however, cautious with your idol worship regarding those you admire and desire to emulate.
Humility goes a long way this afternoon toward aspirations. Be sure to balance work with relaxation to refresh the mind.

Do we heed our feelings or logic?
With Mercury stationing retrograde tonight (PDT), joining Saturn, Neptune, & Pluto, the official planetary retrograde parade is now in full swing. It's definitely NOT the time to act impulsively without considering the consequences of potential outcomes.
Moon conjunct Chiron in Aries in the 2nd house. This realm encompasses our values, freedom, resources, earning ability, and possessions. Healing (Chiron) opportunities involving support (Cancer), past decisions, and being patient (Aries) with our process may arise. This is an opportunity to utilize the compassion toward our self as we do others who may regret former decisions.

💫 The most beautiful epiphanies seem to arrive when our minds are contently relaxed.
Midmorning the Moon in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius followed by Mercury Rx in Leo sextile Venus in Gemini. Possible tension in a relation/partnership between the need for security and desire to expand. Compromise moves mountains despite limitations. Take care in communicating feelings and earnestly listen to understand.
By evening the Moon sextile Jupiter in Gemini. Expect a revelation of a spiritual nature within a relation/partnership. The source could also be a child. The most beautiful epiphanies seem to arrive when our minds are contently relaxed. Seek out family amusements this evening. If single, host a dinner party or outing.
Tonight, Uranus conjunct Psyche in Gemini. Psyche is the Goddess of the soul, and her story is complicated (not unlike our soul), filled with mythic quests, betrayals, Love and trials - much suffering and troubling with a happy ending. Something unsettling may be afoot, so expect the unexpected. But know whatever happens will work out for the best in regard to our wishes, hopes, and goals.

Late morning the Moon in Taurus trine Mars in Virgo. This is a much lighter energy that adds grounding and fuel to our determination to carry on. The ability to transform something negative in appearance in order to spiritually advance is at our fingertips.

Midmorning the Moon in Gemini sextile Saturn Rx and Neptune Rx in Aries. This transformative energy enables an atmosphere of enjoyment regarding our achievements through dedication and hard work. We would feel even more rejuvenated if we didn't doubt our success.
Late morning the Moon in Gemini trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius.
Ruminating on past attainments enable us to formulate plans that can regenerate proven methods.
Tonight, Mars conjunct South Node in Virgo oppose North Node in Pisces, providing the courage we need to unravel karmic knots. We've had a taste of success, but it'll soon turn stagnant from lack of movement if we don't address our past. Swallow doubt and commit to releasing in order to clear the path for future beginnings.
