7/19/25 Transit Report
Taurus Moon, Thors Hammer, and TWO minor grand trines!
Today’s Taurus Moon provides a calm and steady space for us to sit and feel at peace within while we experience so much shifting energy with two new major aspect patterns popping up in transit. She’s trine Mars and the South Node in Virgo which gives us a gentle space for emotional clarity, allowing us to slow down the puzzle pieces of our lives that feel so rapidly changing and find peace and joy in what still remains fixed and true within our Self. We’re able to sit much more comfortably today with ourselves while examining the things we still held onto that started as a necessary survival strategy but is no longer necessary for where we’re at now or heading toward. Today is about feeling our way through it without feeling rushed to fix it all at once.
Around midnight (PDT) the Moon come into conjunction with Uranus, so we may feel a bit of restlessness or emotional disruption under the surface that makes it hard to fall or stay asleep. The mind will be busy, preoccupied with innovation and invention and trying to solve that missing link. So if you’ve been working hard on finishing a project, tonight is the only night of the week an all-nighter would actually help vs hurt you! She shifts into Gemini around 330 am and forms an exact conjunction, so a second wind if you do pull that all-nighter or an uncomfortably early morning may be ahead of you. If today’s lunar energy feels like a sigh of relief, tomorrow will likely feel like a gust of wind busted through a loose door. Use the energy today to anchor and ground yourself before the intensity picks back up.
Venus tightened her square to Mars reaching 17° Gemini today, and this tension is forming the base of a much lesser-known, yet potent aspect pattern I’ve talked about before called the Thor’s Hammer. Adding to the intense energy we’re feeling is Pluto at the apex. A Thor’s Hammer is comprised of two planets in square aspect forming a sesquiquadrate (135°) to a third, apex planet. The apex planet, in this case Pluto, is an eruption point of pressure and power. In a natal chart, this shows where we once expressed righteous indignation immaturely through blame, rebellion, avoidance, or blind fury and eventually with age learn how to channel it productively. A Thor’s Hammer forces responsibility, growth, and integrity, teaching us how to wield what once wounded us.
Today we feel this pressure for growth and release collectively as it adds another layer to the Mars/South Node purging we’ve been doing. Venus and Mars are bringing passion to the surface for us, and they’re taking this energy upward and into Pluto in Aquarius, which forces us to confront where our desires, defenses, and self-worth have been out of sync with our own evolution. And over the next three days, July 19, 20, and 21, this pattern becomes an integrity test for the collective. Can you hold the heaviness this tool that takes both intelligence and strength to lift? Or will you feel crushed under it’s weight? If you have planets or angles at 0–4° Aquarius, your placement becomes the “boomerang point” to the apex, which serves as a shadow-weight that pulls you away from release and deeper into the spiral unless you recognize what’s happening, name it, step away from it, and allow the transmutation to happen.
And just as this major aspect pattern begins to dissipate on the evening of the 21st, the Moon will reach conjunction with Venus, activating an emotional extinction burst for the habits and feelings that need to be released. An extinction burst is what happens when an old behavior or pattern starts to die off, but as that happens it creates an immense amount of anxiety and fear that bottles up and erupts, often ramping up the undesirable behavior we’re needing to let go of.
This Moon-Venus conjunction square Mars-South Node will trigger a final flare of emotional chaos or inner protest from many as we’re being pushed hard to release things that we learned out of a need to protect ourselves, our image, or our ego. This may look like anger, withdrawal, compulsions, arguments, or moments of painful self-awareness. Don’t mistake it for regression, with mindfulness it’s release, but also don’t you dare be someone’s punching bag for their own release. Don’t take the bait or make excuses for people who are abusive in their release. Losing you may be what they need to wake up, and you may not be entitled to the new version of them once they do.
There are also two ongoing minor grand trines shaping our deeper evolutionary journey. The first is the long-term generational configuration we’ve been discussing made of Pluto in Aquarius trine Uranus in Gemini, both in sextile to Neptune/Saturn in Pisces. If you have planets that sit between 29° Virgo and 4° Libra, they will form an opposition point to the apex, which transforms this triangle into a Kite. This is a major prolonged activation spanning from April 2025-Summer 2026. You’ve be called to be a catalyst that supports the spiritual tension between ideals and action (Saturn-Neptune). Your voice becomes the wind in the Kite’s sail that moves us forward into this new paradigm. Your own life may be shifting in ways that feel powerful, fated, beyond anything you could have imagined.
The second configuration has a much shorter window to express it’s energy through. As of today, the Sun at 27° Cancer is now forming a loose trine to Saturn and Neptune, with Uranus in Gemini at the apex. This minor grand trine will last until July 27, when the Sun hits 5° Leo. If you have planets between 28° Scorpio and 2° Sagittarius, you’re forming the base of another Kite. You have already been experiencing a lot of change and frenetic energy in this placement due to the Uranus activation, and now the Sun and Neptune/Saturn are adding another layer, a potential major breakthrough moment for you.
We’re in a stretch of days where patterns will collapse so power can be reclaimed. The child in you may throw a fit about what’s happening, but the adult in you must know how to respond.
Hold the line and let the old ways die. The magic happens in all he small ways you choose to respond. The way you pause before reacting is everything.
Stop chasing and begging the people who drain you, show up, even if your hands and voice is shaking.
You’re not here to be ruled by your pain, it’s time to wield it with wisdom.
