July 2025 to June 2028
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto -The Magic Triangle   
Picture
The Minor Grand Trine between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will last from July 2025 to June 2028. This extremely rare and very powerful configuration is the most significant and consequential planetary alignment in our lifetimes and this century.  It is also powerful for a long time, within a two-degree orb for over 45 weeks.
The beginning of this decade has been a struggle for most of us, marked by the pandemic, inflation, war, and natural disasters. Saturn conjunct Pluto in 2020 and Saturn square Uranus in 2021 have left people feeling scared, worn out and worried about the future. Since then, the relentless crises in Ukraine and Palestine has left many believing there is no hope left for humanity.
However, from July 2025 to June 2028, the Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto Minor Grand Trine gives us reason to be optimistic and hopeful about the future. The Magic Triangle should make us more open-minded, progressive, receptive to change, and accepting of others. It will bring about amazing discoveries, inventions, and breakthroughs in science, technology, travel, communication, and medicine.
A Bright Future
Uranus trine Pluto is the primary aspect and forms the triangle’s base. It is expressed and manifested through Neptune, the apex planet. Uranus trine Pluto opportunities are developed and implemented harmoniously through the sextiles and expressed through Neptune without stress and conflict.
Neptune is where goals are achieved and abilities are optimally used, often for the benefit of others. The technological advancements and social, economic, and political changes associated with Uranus trine Pluto will incorporate the spiritual, idealistic, enlightened qualities of Neptune.

The first decan of Aries, Gemini and Aquarius are most affected, however, this amazing period of discovery and revelation can benefit everyone. 
Uranus – 2° to 8° Gemini. Neptune – 2° to 8° Aries. Pluto – 2° to 8° Aquarius.

New Moon in Virgo

A time of new beginnings, this New Moon presents an excellent opportunity for us to formulate some goals regarding “all things Virgo.” We’d do well to concentrate on new ways to get our day-to-day life organized.
We might think about the keywords for this particular and earthy sign — such things as analytical, intelligent, reserved, critical, helpful, conscientious — and consider ways to enhance, develop, or incorporate these traits into our personalities.
This New Moon in Virgo forms a yod pattern with its quincunxes to Saturn/Neptune and Pluto as well as a square to Uranus.  We’re experiencing a period with great potential for raised consciousness as Pluto forms a sextile with Saturn-Neptune, which in turn forms a sextile with Uranus. This New Moon is in challenging aspect to this powerful configuration, which can jolt us back into the need to attend to our work and a routine. Additional reading at:  https://cafeastrology.com/events/new-moon-on-august-23-2025/

Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.  Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

Lion's Gate Portal

Picture
The Lion’s Gate Portal is the opening of a galactic gate that delivers high-frequency energy into our beings, allowing us to rebirth our spirit energy and the spirit energy of Mother Earth. This high-frequency energy can be used to open our energy centers, inspire new ideas, raise our consciousness, and enhance our ability to receive psychic downloads.
Here are a few things we can set an intention to experience under Lion’s Gate: Heart healings, Third eye awakenings, Higher Chakra Openings, Psychic downloads, Visitations, Freedom, Peace, Technology, Creativity.  More to read here: https://foreverconscious.com/the-lionsgate-88-portal

Full "Goddess' Moon in Aquarius

Picture
The Goddess asteroids on display under the Aquarius Full Moon include Chariklo, Ceres, Makemake, Black Moon Lilith, Vesta, and Juno. But the strongest influence comes from Chariklo, an asteroid considered the wife of Chiron and the Oracle of Spirit Medicine.
Chariklo holds strong healing energy, which will work with the energies of the Aquarius Full Moon to deliver healing vibrations straight into our hearts.
One day before the August Full Moon peaks, we experience the Lion’s Gate Portal.  The Full Moon’s proximity to the activation of the portal is significant and will heighten our abilities to manifest and recharge.  We may find our dreams being more prophetic, or perhaps we may even notice signs and symbols coming from the Universe or our loved ones passed. If we are open to the divine synchronicities of the Universe, the Full Moon working in tandem with this portal will definitely deliver some inspiration our way.

Prayer for the Middle East
Creator, you are our Provider and Healer. We pray that Your timely help and support reach all who are in need.  There is so much sorrow, pain, and conflict across the Middle East. We pray for leaders throughout the region and ask You to turn their minds and hearts toward peace.

Online prayer modified by Valerie.
