Your Higher Self is calling! Leo Szn + Saturn Retrograde 🦁 Jul 20-26, 2026 AstroWeather Forecast ⛅

AstroMama 💫: ring ring ring, do you hear the phone ringing? I heard your higher self is giving you a call this week. The astrology alive at this present moment is asking you to align with the magnetism, the joy. The creativity that comes from a life fully aligned with your authentic truth and that of your higher self. What's up, everyone? This is your astro weather forecast for the week of July 20th to the 26th, 2026. I'm the Astro Mama. I'm a certified professional astrologer, a board-certified psychospiritual life coach, and a real life mama. And I bring the cosmos down to earth to help ground deep feelers, creatives, and mystics through weekly forecasts, personal readings, and events in San Diego, California. today, this is your Ash weather forecast. We go transit by transit day by day over here. So you can swim with a cosmic current instead of against it this week. If there's a day where I feel like there's nothing major going on, I do skip it to save a little bit of time. you can use the timestamps below as you navigate your week to plan your. appointments to plan your activities and just to plan your life in a way that gives you more ease and more flow. I get a lot of texts from my friends and my clients that are like, I feel crazy today. What's going on in the sky? Or this and this thing happened. Please tell me, is Mercury in the oven or whatever? And I like to laugh with them because the truth is astrology can be such a good reminder that we're not alone. And that if you're feeling wonky today, if the cosmos are wonky today, there are definitely other people who are feeling that too. I also just want to remind you that this is a collective forecast. If you're looking for something more personalized, you can book a reading with me. The link to do so is below. And if you take my grounded mystic quiz, you'll get twenty percent off of your first reading with me and it will match you with the right reading for you based on your current life experiences. You also get a free tarot pool with it, so it's super fun. Welcome to Tuesday, July 21st. You might receive pleasant surprises this morning as Jupiter makes a sextile to Uranus at 4 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Perhaps you might get good news or an extra shot of espresso at your favorite cafe, or even just a compliment from a stranger that brightens your day. Sextiles are soft flows of energy, but they are usually positive in nature. So even if it's not like a super abrupt blessing coming from the sky that fixes your whole life, there could just still be some moments of sweetness involved this morning. And the moon interscorpio just a couple of hours later at 6:35 a.m. Pacific time, it makes a square to Jupiter and Pluto, an opposition to Chiron, and a trine to the North Node. this could bring up about just like some conflicting cosmic energy. But overall, this is a good day to avoid overindulgence, overspending, or escapist impulses. As deep feelers, creatives, and mystics, those of you who watch this podcast, myself included, we can sometimes be overwhelmed by all the messages, the downloads, the intuitive hits that we receive. So it's really important to not try to escape or to just have healthy ways of escaping. So instead of escaping into overeating, overspending, overdrinking, drugs, alcohol, whatever, what is it like to escape into something like? Reading your favorite fantasy novel for thirty minutes or going for a walk. We're getting lost, creating some art, getting lost in a workout, something that it doesn't have to be productive, but it's not destructive. Not only will that support you just moving forward, but it will also help not create more problems. Cause sometimes as a sensitive person, you feel something so fully and it feels like a burden. So then you got to try to escape to numb out. But then that that list of burdens has now grown because whatever it was that you were doing to escape was toxic to you. So now you have the problem of healing from that toxic thing that you did to escape the issue in the first place instead of allowing yourself something that is at least neutral. If not productive as a way to combat that and to ground that energy and to clear it. you might just be noticing today your feelings could just be feeling more volatile. if it's possible, I would postpone any serious conversations if you need to have them today, or difficult conversations if you need to. If you must have them, if you're like Astro Mama, I absolutely have. Have to talk to this person about this thing. Try your best to just stay as grounded as possible. Stay as grounded and as centered as possible. Do a little grounding ritual beforehand. Do something to settle your energy after. If you're on like a Zoom call, hold a crystal or something where you can put your focus into something outside of the conversation at hand and just stay regulated. Inner wounds could be rising to the surface today, and yet. There's also a pull towards your potential. There's a pull towards growth, change, and transformation. So it's imperative to remember that caterpillars must go into a cocoon and go through a metamorphic process before they can emerge as a butterfly. So today you might be finding yourself in a cocoon phase. there's a lot of energy around that this week, around. A late bloomer or a metamorphosis or a cocoon phase. As we navigate the rest of the week, what does it look like to anchor into your own divine timing, your own rhythm, and the pulse that is alive in your life right now? Which I know is hard to do when you're busy and your responsibilities, and yet here we are with this opportunity being presented to us to align with that energy. Welcome to Wednesday, July 22nd at 1213 p.m. Pacific time. The sun enters Leo. So happy birthday to all the Leos out there. I'm predicting this to be an especially abundant month for Leo placements specifically, but really for all of us because Jupiter will meet the sun later on during this season, and the sun will be entering the same sign that Jupiter is in, which is Leo. So this is kind of the vibe of having fun. Wearing your hair natural or just bigger than usual, adorning yourself in flashy garments, doing something that connects you to your childlike joy, like improv, comedy, acting, dancing, even if you still love to kick around a soccer ball when you're a kid. Go outside and kick a soccer ball, literally right now. Do it at least during Leo season. This is the time to reconnect to that childlike joy and wonder that resides in all of us. To fully express yourself, to fully play. You want to know why Leo's trigger people? Leos trigger people because they're not scared to take up space. They are so good at hyping other people up because they have this beautiful well of confidence that overflows and just goes out into the world. Like if you're having a photo shoot, bring your Leo friend with you. Shout out to all the Leos for being confident and magnetic. And this is a season where no matter if you have zero Leo in your chart or not, you can really allow space for joy to bloom. That being said, let's fast forward to Thursday, July 23rd. You might not be feeling that joyful Leo childlike energy just yet, because the Leo Sun does make a square to Chiron in Taurus today at 835 AM Pacific time. This could be toying with your confidence a little bit, and it brings up this paradox where Chiron is the wounded healer. And I just took this amazing workshop from an amazing astrologer, Hailey Comet in San Diego. It was at the San Diego Astrological Society. It was so good. It was about Chiron and Taurus. I believe she's made a video about it as well. So go check that out on her page if you haven't already. But something that she mentioned about Chiron that really stood out to me and I hadn't heard before is that unlike Saturn, Chiron resembles the wounds that we don't always have a role in creating. So like Saturn's the planet of karma. So sometimes we do things and then Saturn comes back around and hits us over the head with a book and is like, you should not be doing that. Chiron, on the other hand, is the wounds that we face, and we don't always even know why. There's not always a reason or something that we did to create that wound. I know why, in the sense of I think we choose our birth charts before we're born. And so I think we chose the Chironian lessons that we were going to experience because that's an area where we know that we could heal others or where we want to grow. But as far as like in this conscious reality, in this life, we don't necessarily have a say in the trauma that happens to us. but and yet Chiron, who was deeply wounded. Was the supreme healer of the gods. And we all also have this key that we can open with Chiron to profound healing for ourselves and others. But because of the wounds that we had with Chiron, we tend to hide. something I don't feel like is talked enough, talked about enough with Chiron and also with Black Moon Lilith is shame. I think many of us struggle with the shame. from the trauma that we went through with Chiron and then shame from our raw primal essence with Black Moon Lilith. shame is a dangerous emotion because shame makes us hide. Shame makes us numb. Shame makes us self-sabotage. But we can't heal other people from our hiding place. We can't heal other people from our hermitude. We can only heal them through coming out into the light. And part of coming out into the light is being seen. And for some of us, especially Kironians, that wound is visible. So through being seen, we are also allowing another person to see the rawness, to see our wound, to see our scars of what we went through. But this is where the healing happens. And we've all come across somebody, whether it's somebody you met in person, somebody you listen to a podcast from, somebody you read their book, who has dispelled the trauma, the pain that they've gone through and has deeply inspired us and moved us. what did that person do? They came out of their hiding. And they had to allow their wounds to be visible in order to help you heal. Cause if you hadn't seen that wound, you wouldn't have recognized it within yourself and been able to heal that part of you. today, resist the urge to isolate, resist the urge to hide. Remember, we are all imperfect beings. At some point, people will need to see the real you, but who the real you is, that in itself can be revolutionary and empowering to another person. You never know who you can fully inspire and heal and to what extent until you allow yourself to radiate fully. going along with this vibe of healing, of transformation, tonight could be a good night for higher self meditation or visualization as the moon enters Sagittarius later this evening at six seven PM Pacific time. It makes a trine to Neptune as well as a trine to Jupiter, in opposition to Uranus, a sextile to Pluto as well. So you could be feeling optimistic in a very revolutionary way. Sagittarius moon energy allows us to see the bigger picture, to see beyond what is present right now, and to deeply trust that if we jump, the universe will open a parachute for us. Perhaps you've been doing a lot of inner work and you're maybe feeling more confident as a result with the Pluto aspect to this. And with Moon Sextile, the North Node, I empower you to continue aligning with the higher vision that you hold for your life, aligning with the energies of your higher self. true identity upgrades come from align doing the higher self meditation, noticing who that person is. I think we can learn so much through visualization and. I empower you to do a higher self-visualization. There's a meditation I love. it's from Joe T Hypnotic Labs on YouTube. I'll put it in the description box below. Anyway, so aligning with that version of you and that identity upgrade, the quantum leap, it comes from using that person as a guide, as a mirror for you to actually change your day-to-day actions. Because that's where it's all actually happening and transforming. It's through the here and now, not through the meditation, not through the visualization. The visualization of the meditation help you profoundly because they show you what's possible in the quantum field, but also what's possible when it comes to what you actually want, which so many of us have trouble accessing in just our waking life. But you get to do this devotional work towards aligning your actions with that. And if you feel restless, ask yourself, where am I operating out of devotion to my old self instead of devotion to my future self? With love, of course, and we're not adding shame to this conversation. Now, Mercury Stations Direct today, at 3:58 p.m. Pacific time, Mercury Stations Direct today. Hallelujah. The snafuos, the traffic jams, the car issues, the miscommunications. That you might have had since June twenty ninth could start to wind down today. although Saturn does go retrograde. in like a couple days. So I d I don't know if I give the cosmic green light just yet, but at least just take the next couple of days to integrate between June twenty ninth and today. What patterns, people, or experiences revisited your life? What did you learn about where you have been and where you are going? And what do those tech glitches and traffic jams teach you about patience? Because they came for us all. All right, heading to the weekend. Welcome to Friday, July 24th. Mercury and Cancer makes a sextile to Venus and Virgo this morning, bringing some sweetness to this cosmic conversation that exacts at 9:13 a.m. Pacific time. Take some time getting ready this morning. Really allow yourself to adorn, really allow getting ready your fashion, your makeup to be an adornment ritual. Buy yourself some flowers or make a latte with fresh rose petals. Read a book on the train. Just like this is a great morning to romanticize your life. Maybe even like sending a love letter or listening to beauty affirmations with this alignment happening in connection to Mercury. And Neptune makes a sex tile to Pluto later tonight at 1048 p.m. Pacific time. So if you're asleep by then, you could be just having some interesting, maybe even prophetic dreams. You could also feel called to stay up late and paint or create or make music or daydream. and I also like this energy for like getting lost in your favorite like Game of Thrones type of show or novel and just being open to any creative ideas that come your way. We're gonna skip over Saturday and we're gonna end our week talking about Sunday, July 26th. We have a few big transits today. and the astral weather forecast for this morning has a very Saturnian vibe to it. As the moon enters Capricorn around 6:44 a.m. Pacific time, and Saturn goes retrograde at 12:56 p.m. Pacific time. the moon and Capricorn. It really empowers the moon in Capricorn really empowers us to ground down, to ground our energy toward what is most important for long-term stability, power, and resources. This is a great day for evaluating your energy, your routines, your habits, as well as your relationships. And Saturn retrograde, so that happens today until December 10th, 2026, is a yearly transit that invites us to slow down on our doing. Achieving, expanding more, and to instead assess, learn, and evaluate what already is or what has been. For my creatives, my deep feelers, my mystics, take an audit on the work that you've done so far this year in whatever of life you're growing in. And maybe with Saturn being in Aries, the part of your chart where Aries resides. And this is an excellent transit to. rebrand, revise, revisit, and reorganize those projects, or even to revive a dead project that has been left behind by a busier season. In a natal chart, Saturn retrograde can be tied to the energy of a late bloomer or somebody who blossoms more fully in life at a later age. Celebrities with Saturn retrograde in their chart who we've seen this play out for include Will Smith, Jessica Alba, Morgan Freeman, Keanu Reeves and Joe Rogan. So what I think about when I try to think about, think about with this energy the part of you that is still in bloom. Society tells us we have to do everything as fast or as young as possible. But time and time again, we see people in the spotlight who did things later and were very successful and happy and abundant. So wherever you are on your journey, I invite you to allow yourself to attune to divine timing, to anchor into whatever life phase you are currently in, whether you're in the caterpillar, the cocoon, or the butterfly. so that's a wrap. That's your astro weather forecast for the week of July 20th to the 26th, 2026. Again, I'm the Astro Mama.
