July 2025 Cosmic Insights
TIME to DREAM a NEW DREAM
Welcome to another Light Letter wherein we look ahead at the cosmic weather forecast to help us prepare, align and flow in harmony with the inevitable tides of change. Take a few long, slow deep breaths and dive into the cosmic flow…
July 2025 promises to be another rather intense month for the collective. World tensions peak this month before moving into a new energy for the second half of the year and beyond. It’s a rather “spicy” time right now. We are all being tested in one way or another, but the cosmic invitation for humanity is to grow, mature, transcend & evolve.
Whether one can see it or not yet, the old ways of doing things are disintegrating before our eyes. We are moving rapidly through another paradigm shift on Earth and we can either embrace it or we can resist it. You have the freedom to decide which path you want to take, but always remember that what we resist, persists and what we accept, transforms into something new. Do we want to remain stuck or do we want to evolve? This is the real question for the cosmic invitation of the moment is to dig deep, go within and ask ourselves with naked truth, “what are we regularly giving our attention to and how is it serving us?”
Energy Flows Where Attention Goes.
Our attention is the most valuable currency we have. Whatever we pay attention to receives our energy. Whatever receives energy, grows. This is a Law of Nature to which we are all bound in relative reality. However, we each have free will choice as to where we direct our attention and thus, spend our energy. All we have to do is actively become aware of where and how we are giving it away ~ it is an empowering realization to discover whether we are doing it consciously with awareness, or unconsciously out of habit and conditioning.
Many of us give our attention and our energy to the very things and people we say we don’t want or like. The untrained mind, after all, has an inherently negative bias and itself feeds off the drama created around emotionally charged events. It feels important and validating in the moment to get caught up in something “outrageous”, but the “high” we get from this outpouring of energy ultimately ends up draining our vital life force energy by feeding it directly into the things we say we don’t want. Don’t believe me? Try doing your own “energy audit” ~ make it a practice to observe yourself and your energy over the next little while. You might be surprised by what you discover…
When we become aware of where and how we are spending our energy, we start to realize just how much of ourselves we are unconsciously giving away. This realization allows us to redirect where we place our attention, to change the conversation and direct the flow of our consciousness, via our attention, into the things we want to create. This is conscious creation.
If we are not aware of what has our attention, then it is easily and consistently being marketed to and therefore, “hijacked” by the world. Our phones are amazing tools but studies show that just by having your phone visible near you, makes it harder to focus our attention on a single task. We may live in the “Information Age”, but we still have the power to choose what we give our attention to ~ the free will choice to become the Masters of our own mind is always ours to make and it is how we take our power back and build the world we want to live in.
“Courageous dreaming allows you to create from the source, the quantum soup of the universe where everything exists in a latent or potential state.”
~ Dr. Alberto Villoldo, Medical Anthropologist & Shaman
It’s time for humanity to dream a new dream ~ a dream only we can imagine into being. It’s up to us to shift the dominant frequency on Earth. It’s up to us to choose LOVE. It’s up to us to see the GRACE in every breath we take. To discover the wonder of each moment, and the consistently, persistent miracle of LIFE evident in each person’s eyes you choose to look deeply into.
So consistent is the miraculous nature of life that we end up taking it for granted and maybe, as with all relationships, when we, as a humanity, slip into taking life and our relationship with the Earth for granted, maybe just maybe, this is how we end up in such absurd and horrific circumstances as war.
What if we consciously chose to pour our energy into the evolutionary aspects of life? What if we consciously chose to celebrate life again? This is after all, what sacred rituals are for ~ to say “thank you” to the Earth and embody a grateful heart, which is the true experience of abundance and is available to anyone regardless of how much money or status they currently have. We cannot underestimate the power of our consciousness… the ripples each thought sends out.. we simply know too little to undervalue the power of Natural Intelligence..
Perhaps it is true that Life has no meaning except that which we give it and for far too long we have been conditioned to perceive life through the lens of struggle and suffering, but we don’t have to choose to stay there. Yes, pain exists. Pain is natural, but, according to Yogic Wisdom, struggle is the result of approaching life as a battle, something one must “conquer” and suffering is the result of living in resistance to what is while focusing our energy on the very things we say we do not want. If perception creates reality (as leading edge Science is proving this wisdom to be true), then isn’t the most powerful tool we have our ability to choose how we see the happenings of the world?
What if instead of “the end of the world”, we chose to see current times as “the beginning of a new paradigm on Earth?” What if we didn’t make it about winning or losing and instead chose to focus our energy on our collective evolution? What if we all took time out of our “busy” lives to be still and connect with our Divine inner knowing? Doesn’t that actually sound truly meaningful and even… like fun? .. I’d say it’s “food for thought” along the journey.
Let’s look at the transits and discover the current cosmic invitations for evolution…
July Transits & Cosmic Energies
VENUS in Taurus ~ June 29th - July 26th.
Venus is in its own sign and conjuncts Uranus, which may bring some rather sudden and possibly unexpected information to light. Things you have been waiting for may suddenly manifest, even in multiple ways and with several options. This could “unlock” aspects of your life that have been feeling stuck or stagnant.
This transit may bring some BIG Creative Downloads, spontaneous insights, sudden shifts in perspective and rather serendipitous happenings that could involve new business or job opportunities, new passions and meeting new people who inspire and bring a spark to your life.
Wherever Taurus sits in your Vedic birth chart will reveal much more specific details as to how Venus’ July transit will grace your life with abundance and new opportunities for growth.
🌝 FULL MOON - July 10th in Sagittarius - Purva Ashada Nakshatra.
July’s Full Moon takes place in the wisdom-seeking, EXPANSIVE, Jupiter-ruled, FIRE sign of Sagittarius in the Nakshatra of Purva Ashada, also called “the invincible star” ~ known for bringing popularity, fame, fertility and much wisdom into our lives, this Full Moon is FULL of potential for all of us to receive sudden flashes of insight and intuition. It can happen while we are driving, meditating or doing the dishes, so pay attention to what comes through you during this time… it may just be the clarity you have been seeking…
Many of us may experience potent dreamtime and receive visions or deep insights into our own inner truth. In other words, this is a time to really focus our attention and energy within as much as possible. Find stillness and quiet the noise because the answers you seek aren’t coming from social media or the news… When we allow the waters of consciousness to still, a clear reflection emerges… observe as much as possible, but… don’t try too hard… these things usually happen when we are not expecting them so the trick is to do our daily practices and stay aware without sitting in expectation, waiting for a lightning bolt to strike.
Sagittarius is a deeply philosophical and spiritual sign; independent, freedom-loving and usually enjoys many friends and followers. The shadow side of Sag is arrogance, pride, self-deception and getting stuck in dogma disguised as wisdom. This Full Moon may shed light on some of these shadow aspects that can creep into any of our lives, at any time. It’s healthy to reflect from on how we share our views with others and consider the great wisdom in knowing that we are all here to learn.
Allow this cosmically potent Full Moon to purify your mind and regenerate your vital life force energies. A wonderful invitation to Reset Your Nervous System with this guided healing Kriya Yoga Practice I recorded last month. Give yourself some LOVE & recharge your INNER LIGHT!
MERCURY in CANCER ~ June 19 - August 30th
Mercury is in Cancer during the Full Moon, increasing the emotional complexity of this time. Mercury represents the intellect (Budhi in Sanskrit) aspect of our minds, the part of our intelligence that ascribes meaning to life, analyses and interprets our experiences.
🌀 Mercury retrogrades July 18 - August 11th in the Nakshatra of Ashlesha. Mercury retrograde gets blamed for all kinds of communication and technology issues but this is not really accurate or helpful. What is important to know is that it can be a time when we are actually thinking more than usual, a busier time mentally than average is observable during Mercury retrograde because the aspect of our consciousness known as “intellect” is more intensely energized and activated. Therefore, we often find ourselves over-thinking, over-analyzing and spiralling more easily, but we don’t have to.
Mercury in Cancer means that some of us may feel conflicted between our thoughts and our emotions… This time is an offering for us to feel more and think less. The Invitation is to move into the heart’s wisdom… to be open to emotional insights that bring us clarity rather than thinking so much. As my beloved Teacher Anand Ji often tells us, “you cannot think your way out of confusion”. Thinking is likely what made you confused so simply by choosing to let it be, to let it go, to surrender and feel more can invite profound new insights and clarity into our space.
However, it is generally not recommended to start new projects, launch businesses or new endeavours during Mercury retrograde - this is a 3week window for review ~ meaning… revision, reflection, reorganizing, reordering, reworking, responding, redesigning & repairing are all things in alignment with the cosmic flow and can yield tremendous results.

🪐 Saturn Retrogrades July 13 ~ November 25
Saturn’s retrograde in Pisces invites further reflection on our long-term plans. You may find yourself asking if there are alternative ways to approach your dreams.. allow for this energy to work in harmony with the illumination brought by the Full Moon and neighbouring transits.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces may give us the sense that “everything is falling apart” and in some ways it is, but only to make space for the new. If you missed it, you can read all about Saturn’s 2.5 year transit through Pisces in this article ~ it’s one worth reading many times over the next two years because the correspondence is evident throughout the world.
There is a palpable sense that everything in the world is changing… as if the world order is dismantling right before eyes and in some ways it absolutely is, but we must remember that this gives way for us to dream a new dream into the world. The old must fall apart in order for there to be space for the new. We must see how broken the systems of the past truly are before we are going to be willing to accept their demise and welcome the new. This is simply the nature of the reality we have created thus far.. because that’s really the lesson here in all of this ~ WE ARE THE CREATORS of our REALITY.
We are not the effect. We do not have to play the victim of everything that is “wrong with the world”. We can choose to stand for something new and why not? Our energy and attention is going somewhere all the time anyways so why not put it into the things we wish to see, the life we dream of living and the world we want to leave for our grandchildren?
Saturn’s transit through Pisces is all about bringing our realizations from the transcendental, cosmic, beyond spiritual experiences of Spirit into the physical, material world of boundaries. It isn’t either or anymore. Material life is Spiritual and Spirit expresses through the material in all ways. Our Souls take on a body and a mind as tools for this vast and multi-dimensional experience called Life and it’s up to us to remember who we really are so we can tap into our inner truth and Divine wisdom ~ the jewel that sits in the lotus of the heart just waiting to be remembered, to be discovered, to be held, embraced and embodied in wholeness once again.
🌞 SUN moves into CANCER ~ July 16 -August 16th
The Sun’s transit through Cancer further helps us tune into our emotional body. Allow the wisdom of your emotions to speak to you. Now is the time to acknowledge and pay attention to the parts of ourselves we may have ignored along the way as the Sun illuminates the aspects and activities of the house where the sign of Cancer sits in your birth chart. Knowing this brings one great insights into what to expect.
Mercury will be retrograde alongside the Sun’s entire transit through Cancer ~ moments of emotional overwhelm or anxious overthinking can be successfully supported and mitigated with various yogic techniques and daily spiritual practices. I also highly recommend time in nature to forest bathe and swim in the natural beauty and healing energies of rivers, lakes and oceans.
🌚 NEW MOON in CANCER ~ July 24th in Pushyami Nakshatra
As the Sun and Moon meet in the Moon’s own sign of Cancer later this month, we are invited even deeper into the heart space to feel into the dark, hidden inner wisdom of our own cosmic hearts.
How can we nurture ourselves to grow? to heal? to self-care in a way that gives us strength and an elevated state of consciousness moving into the times ahead, because quite honestly, we are going to need it. Even though these times on Earth are unprecedented for present human, there is a part of us that has “seen it all”.
The eternal nature of our Souls knows the experience of countless lifetimes, cataclysms, rapid change and discontinuous events on Earth. If we can find that stillness, that “Shunya” of inner knowing then we will find that we can be the eye in the storm and a sanctuary for those who feel lost and afraid.
🔥🐍 Mars & Ketu Conjunct in Leo
This month’s letter would not be complete without mentioning Mars and Ketu in Leo, a fire meets fire meets fire alignment that continues until Mars makes its way onward into Virgo July 29th, finally bringing some grounded earthiness back into the picture. However, as long as Mars remains with karmically-potent Ketu we are wise to take pause when tempers flare and frustration gets the better of us.
Mars and Ketu will be exactly conjunct on the 20 & 21st of this month - the second half of this month is a time to be extra cautious and aware - not afraid, but simply aware of the fact that both Mars and Ketu can be very intense, heated, sharp, unpredictable and spicy... Unexpected anger can result in impulsive actions we might later regret if we are not aware that these cosmic forces are rising to help us purge karma and transcend old patterns. The Invitation is for spiritual insight and growth.
Wherever Leo sits in your birth chart reveals a lot about which areas of your life are activated by this transit, but in general, we can all be more self-aware and in so doing find healthy and productive ways to channel our energy by focusing more on the things we wish to create, rather than on the things enticing us into a fight. Either we unconsciously react and create more karma.. or, we shed karma and consciously transcend patterns that keep us stuck in karmic bondage… which would you prefer?
And so my dear friends, it is with a light heart and a calm mind that I invite all of you to align and flow with the cosmic energies currently at play.
I am here to guide you deeper into your cosmic soul journey through a one on one Vedic Astrology reading - July marks the midway point of the calendar year and is an opportunity to check in with your chart, your life, and your goals and dreams for realizing your highest potential with Grace and ease.
I have a few spots available in July and August so if you are interested, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email and for those of you who are keen on starting your very own mantra Jappa practice, I will be very happy to support you in starting such a beautiful and transformative personal daily practice.
Stay blessed,
In gratitude, love, light & with prayers for peace,
christina jyoti
Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Hari Om Tat Sat
