We are entering a period when unresolved issues from the past want to be seen, felt and resolved. Have compassion for those around you who seem not to be doing okay. But most of all have compassion for yourself. The people who trigger you now offer you an insight into what still needs healing or integrating. And remember, you will trigger others just by being you. They also have healing to do. Good luck

AUGUST 3rd. CHIRON STATIONS RETROGRADE. THE WOUNDED HEALER TURNS INWARD.

Tomorrow, one of the most profound astrological shifts of the year begins as Chiron, the Wounded Healer, stations retrograde.

Unlike Mercury retrograde, which asks us to rethink our thoughts and communication, Chiron reaches far deeper. This is the part of the sky that reveals the places within us that were wounded long ago, the places we learned to protect, hide or harden in order to survive.

When Chiron stations, its energy becomes incredibly powerful. Astrologers call this a pivotal point because Chiron appears almost motionless before changing direction. It is in these still moments that the soul speaks the loudest.

Tomorrow begins a healing journey that continues until January 6th, 2027.

This is no ordinary retrograde.

For the first time since 1983, Chiron begins its retrograde in Ta**us, before returning to Aries in September to complete the final chapter of an eight year cycle that began back in 2018.

This marks one of the most significant phases of Chiron’s journey in decades.

CHIRON RETROGRADE IN TA**US.
August 3rd – September 17th.

Ta**us governs everything that helps us feel safe.

Our finances.

Our home.

Our body.

Our self worth.

Our relationship with the Earth.

Our ability to receive.

During the coming weeks, you may discover that what appears to be a practical problem is actually an ancient wound asking to be healed.

A delayed payment suddenly feels like you’ll never be secure.

A passing comment makes you question your value.

Your reflection in the mirror awakens years of criticism.

A relationship leaves you wondering if you are enough.

The event itself is rarely the true source of the pain. It simply opens the door to something much older that has been waiting to be healed.

Chiron asks us to notice where we have confused comfort with safety.

Where have you stayed because leaving felt frightening?

Where have you settled because believing in yourself felt too risky?

Where have you accepted less than you deserve because asking for more felt dangerous?

This is where the healing begins.

Chiron’s ancient symbol is a golden key.

It reminds us that every wound carries within it the key to our greatest wisdom.

The very place that once hurt you may become the place from which you guide, teach and heal others.

This is also a powerful time to examine your relationship with money, abundance and the material world. Ta**us teaches that true security is never found solely in what we own, but in the values we live by and the trust we cultivate within ourselves.

SEPTEMBER 17th – JANUARY 6th
CHIRON RETURNS TO ARIES.

Once Chiron steps back into Aries, the focus shifts.

No longer asking…

“Am I safe?”

But…

“Why have I abandoned myself?”

This final journey through Aries closes an eight year chapter that began in 2018.

It asks where you have silenced yourself…

given your power away…

suppressed healthy anger…

or stopped pursuing your dreams because of old disappointments.

Before Chiron finally leaves Aries forever in April 2027, it offers one last opportunity to reclaim your courage.

Not through force.

Through authenticity.

🌍 THE COLLECTIVE HEALING.

This retrograde reaches far beyond our personal lives.

Ta**us also governs the Earth itself.

The way we value our resources.

Money.

Food.

Nature.

Security.

The coming months ask humanity to reconsider what true abundance really means.

Healing no longer comes through accumulation alone.

It comes through generosity…

community…

sharing wisdom…

protecting the land beneath our feet…

and remembering that none of us truly thrives unless we all have roots.

🌙 AUGUST 3rd ALSO BRINGS…

The Moon joins Saturn in Aries, creating one of the most karmic alignments of the month.

Saturn is the great Lord of Karma.

The teacher who never forgets.

The keeper of divine timing.

When joined by the Moon, emotions mature.

The lessons of recent months begin making sense.

Many will feel a quiet weight lifting.

Long standing efforts may finally receive recognition.

Responsibilities begin easing.

Doors that refused to open may quietly unlock.

The Universe is balancing what has long been out of balance.

Not through luck…

Through earned wisdom.

💜 THROUGH THE EYES OF A MEDIUM.

Whenever Chiron stations, I observe old energetic patterns rising into the field.

Not to punish us.

Not because we are moving backwards.

But because the soul cannot heal what it refuses to acknowledge.

The emotions that arise over the coming months may not belong entirely to today.

They often belong to younger versions of ourselves who never had the opportunity to feel safe enough to heal.

Allow them to surface.

Witness them.

Honour them.

Then choose differently.

That is how karma changes.

That is how timelines shift.

That is how the wound becomes the medicine.

🕯️PRACTICAL WITCHCRAFT.

Tomorrow, place a small bowl of salt beside a piece of smoky quartz, rose quartz or green aventurine.

Light a white candle.

Hold Chiron’s golden key within your mind’s eye and ask:

“Show me the wound I am now ready to transform into wisdom.”

Write whatever arrives without judgement.

Do not rush to solve it.

Simply witness it.

Healing begins the moment truth is seen.

Chiron reminds us that the wound is never where your story ends. It is where your wisdom begins. The key has always been within you. Now the Universe is asking you to use it.

Blessed Be,
Justine 🧙💜

The moon is Full in Aquarius tonight and being illuminated by the Sun in Leo, who is getting quite comfortable with Jupiter. Sounds like a fun party, except that the moon also has a house guest. Pluto, and he wants to know “What is it you’re pretending not to know?”
So now you’ve seen that shady couple of characters in the corner, in pop Mars and Venus who might be just about to have a disagreement. And when they go looking for the Nodes to take their respective sides, they find they have left and the new guys, Aquarius and Leo have moved in. But it’s not all bad.
At this party there will be banter, there will be joy. There will be memories you may have forgotten. There will be moments when the shadows you buried so long ago arrive to remind you of where you came from, and epiphanies and ah-ha moments that help you understand where you are going next. And thought it all be authentically you. That is your mission should you chose to accept. And if not, it’s happening anyway but there will be more tears.
Good luck 💋

Today, Uranus in Gemini forms an exact trine to Pluto in Aquarius, marking one of the most significant outer-planet alignments of the year. These two planets have been gradually approaching one another for months, but today the aspect becomes exact for the first time, inviting us to pay closer attention to the story that’s beginning to unfold.

Trines are often described as harmonious aspects, but I think what makes them so valuable is not simply that they are “easy.” Rather, they reveal where different parts of our lives are beginning to work together. Instead of forcing change through tension or conflict, a trine suggests that growth can emerge through cooperation, allowing us to recognize possibilities that may have been developing quietly beneath the surface.

What makes today’s alignment especially compelling is the symbolism carried by the exact degrees themselves. Pluto stands at the Sabian Symbol of “A Council of Ancestors,” an image that evokes enduring wisdom, inherited knowledge and the foundations that have supported us through time. Uranus stands at “A Radical Magazine Displaying a Sensational Front Page,” symbolizing ideas that are ready to emerge, new perspectives that can no longer remain hidden and a willingness to see the world differently.

At first glance, these images seem to point in opposite directions. One looks toward the accumulated wisdom of the past, while the other announces the arrival of something entirely new. Yet today’s trine suggests they are not competing with one another. Instead, they appear to be working together, reminding us that genuine progress rarely requires us to discard everything that came before. More often, it asks us to recognize which parts of the past still have something to teach us as we step into unfamiliar territory.

As I reflect on this exact alignment, I can’t help but wonder if that’s one of the defining stories of this moment. So much is changing, both collectively and personally, that it’s easy to assume we must leave the old behind in order to embrace the new. But perhaps today’s sky is offering a different perspective. Perhaps the wisdom we’ve gathered through our experiences is precisely what allows us to recognize the opportunities that are now beginning to emerge.

Today’s trine may not announce itself through dramatic events. It may begin with a conversation, a new insight, an unexpected connection or a realization that quietly reshapes the way you understand something you’ve known for years. Those moments can seem almost insignificant when they first appear, yet they often become the threads that, over time, weave together an entirely new chapter.

As always, astrology doesn’t tell us exactly what will happen. It invites us to pay attention. Today, notice where life seems to be bringing together wisdom and innovation, experience and possibility, the familiar and the unexpected. This exact Uranus–Pluto trine suggests that the future may not be asking us to choose between them. It may be showing us how they belong together.
