Latest / Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch / Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini & Sun square Saturn: July 2026 is MANUAL MODE
Transcript
- 0:00Hello, welcome back to our weekly astrology podcast where
- 0:03we light our candles, we cozy up, and we talk all things
- 0:06cosmos. I'm your host astrologer and
- 0:07coach, Sarah Posh. And this week you're trading the
- 0:10automatic transmission living, moving from approval, seeking
- 0:14maybe some borrowed rules into manual, being pushed to live off
- 0:18of instinct, honesty and learning the terrain yourself
- 0:21before trusting anybody else's map.
- 0:24There's kind of this two parter to this week's transits over the
- 0:27weekend. Mars and Gemini is ready to
- 0:29floor it into this new territory, activating these
- 0:32outer planet minor grand shrines and also giving us a little bit
- 0:35more push, accelerating the gas on learning to trust ourselves
- 0:39and starting to really encourage us, if not actually push us into
- 0:43action. And really starting to explore
- 0:46what all these outer planet transits mean and all this new
- 0:48territory, what it really feels like.
- 0:50And then we shift gears starting on Monday when the Sun and
- 0:53Cancer is going to square Saturn and Aries.
- 0:55And just after that, Neptune is stationing.
- 0:57So where Mars is speeding us up, Sun, Saturn and Neptune, they
- 1:02are asking us to stop, maybe pull over into a rest stop and
- 1:06do a little break alignment check before we keep
- 1:08accelerating forward. So go ahead if you haven't
- 1:10already, hit that like button, subscribe to this channel and
- 1:13turn those notifications on and light those candles if you have
- 1:16them. Let's get cozy.
- 1:17Let's drop into this episode. We're going to start like we do
- 1:20in every weekly episode, getting our community shout outs.
- 1:23I have three song editions from our community comments.
- 1:26Thank you so much for everybody who was contributing over this
- 1:28last week. There were so many good ads.
- 1:30Here's my top three. The first one is from ex just
- 1:33Joey. They say I have a Natal Mars and
- 1:35Pisces sextile. Jupiter and Taurus.
- 1:37Don't stop me now by Queen is a perfect choice.
- 1:39Similar vibe. Don't stop till you get enough
- 1:41by Michael Jackson. Love that ad.
- 1:43Thank you so much from our native Mars Jupiter sextile.
- 1:46And then the next one is Maddie Strass O2 B offers Sammy
- 1:50haggars. I can't drive 55.
- 1:52He says 1 foot on the brake and one on the gas.
- 1:55And I got to say, guys, this theme is actually carrying
- 1:57forward, as you can tell by the intro of this episode into this
- 2:00week's transits. These songs are perfect ads, not
- 2:02from just last week, but definitely for the remainder of
- 2:04this Gemini lunar cycle. And then my third and final is
- 2:07from Moyer Howerton, 60. She offers the 59th St. bridge
- 2:11song. Feeling groovy with the lyrics.
- 2:14Slow down, you're moving too fast.
- 2:16Got to make the morning last. And the thing I love most about
- 2:18this third song is actually listening to it has a little bit
- 2:20of a Beach Boys vibe. And it was reminding me of like
- 2:22the color sky blue, which is giving a little bit of this
- 2:25calming effect in the midst of so much heat in this astrology
- 2:28and these transits right now. And I was reminded, yes, we
- 2:31could all use a little bit more of the chill vibes while we're
- 2:34getting excited for the start of a fireworks show that's going to
- 2:38play out for the rest of the summer.
- 2:39So thank you to our community comments and our collaborators
- 2:43for all of your additions to our cozy with the cosmos set list.
- 2:46And before we jump into all of these transits, I just want to
- 2:49remind you of all the things, all the resources that are
- 2:52available to you linked below this episode in the description,
- 2:55you can find my one-on-one astrology consultations.
- 2:57This is great for anybody who's looking to get some professional
- 3:01insight into how this astrology is impacting their personal life
- 3:04and their personal transits. And then also there's a couple
- 3:06different digital products that you can check out.
- 3:08I really recommend if you haven't already, the Saturn in
- 3:10Aries Digital Workshop. It's over 2 hours long and
- 3:13especially with that sun square Saturn coming in this week and
- 3:15we just had that Capricorn full moon that was squaring Saturn.
- 3:18Saturn in Aries is loud in the air in the field, and that
- 3:22workshop has so many references, so many resources.
- 3:25It's so rich, you guys. So definitely check that out as
- 3:27well as all of the other amazing links you can find below the
- 3:30episode. And I'm going to go ahead and
- 3:32just take a little sip of my coffee, if you'd like.
- 3:34While I'm taking this sip, you can comment below.
- 3:36You can drop a rising sign. Maybe fill us in on how you're
- 3:39feeling. Are you noticing any big, any
- 3:42small changes in territory, terrain, circumstances coming
- 3:45in? I would love to hear from you.
- 3:47And I also want to mention somebody did drop in the
- 3:49comments last week about how we always as astrologers are like,
- 3:52this is the biggest transit that's happening.
- 3:54There's so much happening. It's crazy.
- 3:56Like, yeah, I mean, when I'm looking at the astrology, this
- 3:59is actually crazy astrology. And also this astrology doesn't
- 4:02have to be a huge bang in your world and in your life.
- 4:05Sometimes it shows up in the small ways, but the small ways
- 4:08that can carry a big impact. And a lot of times it's when we
- 4:11look back at these epics of time that have these incredibly
- 4:15active transits, this crazy astrology is.
- 4:17So we say that we actually recognize.
- 4:19Holy shit. Yeah.
- 4:20That is a turning point. That is when so much changed in
- 4:23my life. But right now, we're just in it.
- 4:25So I encourage you to just like, dance in it, live in it, be in
- 4:28it. You don't have to be on the
- 4:28lookout for it. We are in it, You are living in
- 4:31it. So it's already happening.
- 4:32So yeah, just go ahead, comment below, tell me how you're doing.
- 4:35I'm actually really digging the astrology.
- 4:36It kind of feels like I'm going back and forth from feeling
- 4:39really exhausted, like my body is trying to understand what the
- 4:43hell is going on and what this energy is and like where to put
- 4:46it and what to do with it. I literally have been feeling
- 4:49physical changes in my body since these transits have been
- 4:51activated over the last month. And also really excited, like
- 4:54I'm having exciting ideas coming to me in the middle of the
- 4:57night, sometimes even through my dreams.
- 4:59So there's definitely juxtaposition.
- 5:00There's definitely more than one thing that I'm feeling, which
- 5:03all this astrology totally confirms is kind of what we
- 5:06should expect. Alright, I'm going to drink my
- 5:07coffee. You drop your comment, you guys.
- 5:09It's even a sunflower. How cute because we're in the
- 5:12summer solstice season. All right, guys, let's get into
- 5:16the transits. We're going to start with
- 5:17Friday. The Moon is going to be entering
- 5:19into Pisces and we are entering into the weekend.
- 5:21The Act 1 of this week's astrology with Mars conjunct
- 5:25Uranus at 3° of Gemini. So something to take note of is
- 5:28that we haven't had a Mars Uranus conjunction since July of
- 5:322024, and that conjunction was in Taurus.
- 5:35So this is the very first conjunction between Mars and
- 5:38Uranus in the sign of Gemini. This is something new and
- 5:41exciting. This is something that Mars is
- 5:43setting a match, setting a flame to whatever the debut Uranus and
- 5:48Gemini transit is about for you and about for us collectively in
- 5:51this conjunction and Mercury sign of Gemini.
- 5:54This is going to lead to maybe this sudden rush or impulse to
- 5:58make some sudden moves, sudden changes.
- 6:00We have to be mindful. We might have some sharp words
- 6:03with Mars, Uranus and Gemini and definitely think back to the
- 6:07Gemini new moon. You can also go back and watch
- 6:09that episode when we talked a lot about the overall theme.
- 6:12The backdrop for this lunar cycle was that fool card energy.
- 6:16And I definitely feel like if you haven't felt that energy or
- 6:19you haven't felt brave enough to step into taking those big
- 6:22leaps, Mars conjunct Uranus this Friday is going to push you into
- 6:25the new territory, which means it might be pushing you outside
- 6:28of your comfort zone. Remember you guys, we are wired
- 6:31to just associate familiar with comfort, and that's not always
- 6:35true. Sometimes we're in a really
- 6:37familiar loop of life and situation relationship pattern,
- 6:41like whatever it is, and it's actually so fucking
- 6:43uncomfortable. But usually those are the
- 6:45moments where we kind of hit that crux of discomfort where we
- 6:48finally make the change and we challenge the status quo of that
- 6:52brains wiring, familiarity, comfort, security, safety, and
- 6:55we actually start living in that manual living.
- 6:58We start exploring different territory of different options
- 7:02that might be available to us. So definitely keep your options
- 7:04open as you start the weekend with this Mars Uranus
- 7:07conjunction and maybe be a little mindful if you get into
- 7:11any debate with anybody that you care about or don't care about.
- 7:14This energy is definitely feisty.
- 7:16It could be looking for a fight, literally.
- 7:18And because it's in Mercury, sign of Gemini, it feels like
- 7:20the volatility potential that could be coming out is going to
- 7:23be coming out likely through our words.
- 7:25Your words are going to carry a lot of power potentially as Mars
- 7:28continues to move forward, which leads us to Saturday, July 4th,
- 7:32Happy July 4th, Independence Day here in America.
- 7:35On Saturday, Mars and Gemini is going to make that sextile to
- 7:38Neptune and Aries at 4°, and on Saturday, March, Neptune.
- 7:42It's here to remind you that flow beats force.
- 7:46So really check whether the future you're speaking into
- 7:49existence comes from faith or fear.
- 7:51Notice if you're feeling any resistance to moving things
- 7:54forward, putting things into motion, you're probably not in
- 7:57the flow, you're probably trying to force.
- 7:59So take that Neptune pause, settle into a little bit of
- 8:03stillness and listen for the call of intuition.
- 8:06See what's naturally flowing and see what happens when you start
- 8:09moving more in that direction or you start moving more in the
- 8:12direction of inspiration instead of a restless urgency or fear of
- 8:17needing to make something happen.
- 8:19And also with the sextile between Mars and Neptune, we
- 8:21also might feel a little bit nudged to remember our why
- 8:25behind this mission that Mars and Gemini is setting us off
- 8:27into. And then on Sunday, July 5th,
- 8:30Mars hits that trine to Pluto and Aquarius at 4°.
- 8:34And here is where Pluto is asking Mars, asking about your
- 8:38mission, whether your opinion, your idea, that mission that you
- 8:42might be set on moving forward, does it serve the collective or
- 8:46just your own personal ego? Pluto is always here to reward
- 8:50us with the riches and the rocket fuel to Mars when we're
- 8:53really elevating our intentions and our actions and do something
- 8:56beyond just the limitations of our own self-serving ego,
- 9:00especially Pluto and Aquarius people.
- 9:02So if you're somebody who's really inspired and also
- 9:06connected to some sort of positive impact on people
- 9:09outside of yourself, then you're going to feel this resource of
- 9:12Pluto and Aquarius giving you an even greater stamina, strength,
- 9:16confidence, and empowerment to keep showing up and pushing
- 9:20things forward. And one image you can kind of
- 9:23think of from Mars and Gemini trying Pluto and Aquarius is
- 9:26this image of the power of a protest.
- 9:28So it's like a group of people coming together.
- 9:30They've all written or painted their message on the signs
- 9:33they're carrying and they're marching together for a
- 9:35collective cause. Or could be like an artist that
- 9:38releases a piece of music with a song that has lyrics that
- 9:41actually actually stir a greater collective movement.
- 9:44Kind of thinking like Bob Dylan and all of his edgy at the time
- 9:47lyrics. But also we look back and we're
- 9:49like, damn, that guy was a badass.
- 9:51So definitely use the impetus, use the courage and the push
- 9:55from Mars over the weekend and also claim creative agency.
- 9:58Channel your energy, your action, your choices, your words
- 10:02and conversations into things that are highly creative,
- 10:05constructive, inspired, and connected to something more
- 10:08meaningful than just feeling like you're getting ahead or
- 10:10you're winning some and competition.
- 10:13And I have two songs for you from our Gemini Lunar Cycle
- 10:15Playlist that I'm going to go ahead and offer for the Mars
- 10:18shifting into manual transmission living over this
- 10:21weekend. So the first one is Matchbox by
- 10:24Rainbow Kitten Surprise. First of all, this is definitely
- 10:27the weekend where Mars is lighting the entire matchbox,
- 10:30not just one match. And I'm going to read you some
- 10:33of these lyrics because I think they're kind of fun.
- 10:35You're a master of passive aggressive magic tricks.
- 10:37Like that's not a car that I would have picked, but it's your
- 10:39life to live like how you'd like to live.
- 10:42Your type of cool that likes to talk a lot.
- 10:44I'm the type of fool to listen. They say a wise man lends his
- 10:47ears but not his thoughts. Often the same is true of
- 10:50undercover cops and the undercover doubler got me doubly
- 10:52high as heaven. We're still under the radar 7
- 10:55billion on the planet waiting straight to the moon while the
- 10:58mission to Mars is surely soon to follow.
- 11:00And before I go into the next song, I will read three more
- 11:03lines in these lyrics. It says, excuse me Sir, miss,
- 11:06could you spare a moment too? And then in all capital letters
- 11:09I imagine this is Mars is shouting in Gemini support local
- 11:12support local. I know I should have been more
- 11:15vocal. So the song I feel like we're
- 11:16definitely challenging the status quo and using the power
- 11:19of our voice for the good of all.
- 11:21And I also just love the vibe of this song.
- 11:23And there's so many more lyrics that I could read to you, but
- 11:26instead, maybe you just check out that link below this episode
- 11:28and go check it out and listen to it for yourself.
- 11:30And then the second pick that I have is do your thing by
- 11:34basement Jacks. And this song, it's fun.
- 11:37It's fun to dance to and groove to.
- 11:38It's also got a vibe. It feels like this is the song
- 11:41that's playing symbolically while we're shifting from that
- 11:44automatic transmission into the manual living.
- 11:47And some of the lyrics that I love on this are I don't need no
- 11:50TV. I don't need no news.
- 11:52All I need is a bumping beat to bump away my Blues.
- 11:55I don't give a damn what the people say I'm going to do it my
- 11:57way, going to do it my way. Shut up your mouth, you're in a
- 12:00fatal tis free the mayhem and your mind release the need
- 12:03inside of you. You're going to suffer because
- 12:05the crowd so far do your thing, do your thing boom boom boom a
- 12:10bang, bang, bang do your thing, do your thing.
- 12:12So it's a really fun song. Definitely check it out.
- 12:14And also remember if you have any songs, anything that's
- 12:17inspiring you that you're grooving to during these
- 12:19transits, drop it in the comment below.
- 12:21Let us and we'll add it to our collaborative community
- 12:24playlist. And now it's time to shift gears
- 12:26into the sort of Act 2 of this week's transits.
- 12:29So Monday, July 6th, Moon is going to enter into Aries,
- 12:32joining Neptune and Saturn still currently hanging out there.
- 12:36And on Monday, the Sun and Cancer is going to square Saturn
- 12:38and Aries at 14°. This is when we get that brake
- 12:41check and alignment test. Saturn needs to know, can your
- 12:44human body and your current living style actually hold the
- 12:49speed that you've been building towards?
- 12:51This is kind of of the opportunity for this mature
- 12:54counterbalance to some of the feisty and fun energy that Mars
- 12:57and Gemini is bringing us over the weekend.
- 12:59Saturn is giving us this chance to have this brake check so that
- 13:02we don't wreck ourselves burnout or push ourselves into some sort
- 13:06of regretful breaking point. So don't be afraid to slow down
- 13:09starting on Monday to give yourself some rest, to take a
- 13:11little pause to check your brakes and also to check, is
- 13:14everything actually in alignment?
- 13:16Are there any edits or adjustments that I need to make
- 13:19in the way that I'm showing up? The authority, the ownership,
- 13:21the mature purity of how I am, the main character of how this
- 13:25life story unfolds. And it's worth noting that
- 13:27sacrificing a little bit of speed here, this could be really
- 13:30helpful for actually sustaining us for a more long term
- 13:33enjoyable pace of living through these new transits and getting
- 13:38into these new storylines, new life plots.
- 13:41And then on Tuesday, July 7th, the moon in Aries is officially
- 13:44going to hit that third quarter phase.
- 13:46So we are entering into the final lunar phase, the waning
- 13:49quarter. We are starting to get into the
- 13:51phase of editing, refining, integrating all that started in
- 13:55the beginning of this cycle with that Gemini New Moon.
- 13:58And on Tuesday this is when we have Neptune station in
- 14:00retrograde at 4° of Aries. Neptune is asking us to turn
- 14:04inward for the next 6 months. Asking the spiritual warrior or
- 14:08the creative enthusiast inside of you to take some time to
- 14:12reflect so that you can separate illusion from intuition before
- 14:16committing further to the fight to make something happen.
- 14:19Neptune is one of our outer planets.
- 14:20This happens every year here. It's not something new.
- 14:23It's going to be in retrograde until December 12th, 2026.
- 14:27So this is a great dime during Neptune's retrograde to start to
- 14:30really discern that illusion from intuition, like I said, and
- 14:33also to find ways to ground your visions into tangible real world
- 14:38impact. And a question to maybe sit with
- 14:40or open into this Neptune retrograde cycle is the
- 14:44idealistic Dr. actually resulting in the outcome you
- 14:48dreamed of? And my example for this is I've
- 14:51been really into the House of Dragons.
- 14:53The new season just came out. And I'm not going to give away
- 14:55too much of the show in case you're somebody that wants to
- 14:59watch it and hasn't yet. But it's definitely making this
- 15:02turning point right now in the third season where a story that
- 15:05was passed down from generation to generation as sort of this
- 15:08faded mythology that one of the main characters carries with
- 15:12her. And it encourages her and it
- 15:14pushes her to really see it through to the end.
- 15:17But what started with the best intentions to take the state of
- 15:21leadership, to be crowned queen, and to establish peace in the
- 15:25entire realm? We're starting to see at what
- 15:28cost. And are you losing sight of that
- 15:31original why of that original intention of what this was all
- 15:35about fighting for the seat, of fighting for this cause.
- 15:38So I guess we'll have to see what happens and plays out
- 15:40during the House of Dragons Season 3 and whether it actually
- 15:43results in her original outcome and the rise to her power and
- 15:48this peace in the realms, or will it be the complete
- 15:50destruction and fall of her original intended legacy.
- 15:54Stay tuned to House of Dragons, stay tuned to this astrology and
- 15:57definitely take this Neptune retrograde day to take that rest
- 16:01stop, pull over and start doing some of these checkpoints and
- 16:04reflection points, really making sure you're clear that you're
- 16:07what has a deeper and clearer why connected to it.
- 16:10And I have a couple songs for these transits starting on
- 16:13Monday. The first one is right here,
- 16:15right now by Fat Boy Slim. I love this song for the Neptune
- 16:18station in retrograde. The lyrics in the song say
- 16:21waking up to find your Love's not real.
- 16:24And that kind of might be what we start to feel as Neptune
- 16:26station in retrograde is getting this a little bit distortion or
- 16:29disillusionment, starting to question like what is real not
- 16:33just outside of ourselves, also within our own sense of
- 16:36intuition and imagination and creative inspiration.
- 16:40So check out that song, listen to it, dance to it, maybe while
- 16:43you're slowing down at the rest stop and reflecting with Neptune
- 16:45Station retrograde. And then the other song is fast
- 16:48Lane by rationale. I'm going to go ahead and read
- 16:50some of these lyrics because I think this is so good for the
- 16:53sun square Saturn. It says everybody speeds in the
- 16:56fast lane. Truly now revving through the
- 16:58gears, trying to keep ourselves from stressing out.
- 17:01Take a look in your heart and your soul.
- 17:03This is really it. Is it all that you are?
- 17:06We're so caught up in the Riddle and we suffer for so little.
- 17:09Oh Lord, holding back the tears on the last train homeward
- 17:12bound. It's been 27 years and you've
- 17:14only now just figured out how you can give him your heart and
- 17:17your soul. You can give him every, even the
- 17:19most that you own, but when you're caught up in the Riddle,
- 17:21man, your pride ain't worth a nickel.
- 17:23No, no. I also just want to say how
- 17:26perfect is it? How astrology good 27 years.
- 17:28If you don't already get a Ding, Ding, Ding because you're not
- 17:31huge astrology nerd like me, then I want to let you know that
- 17:3427 years is definitely a Saturn number.
- 17:36We get our first Saturn return always around the age of 28 1/2.
- 17:40And so the 27th year of life is kind of this Crucible moment
- 17:44where we know we're about to enter an entirely new chapter of
- 17:47life and we know we can't take every, everything with us.
- 17:50We also can't take all of our own coping mechanisms or all of
- 17:53the ways that we were trying to create security and safety for
- 17:56ourselves. And so I feel like this is even
- 17:57more perfect because I think this transit can help us do
- 18:00something kind of similar. It's on one hand getting us
- 18:03excited because there's a threshold that we can step into
- 18:05and crossover, but it's going to require a different version of
- 18:08us. We're going to have to recognize
- 18:10what we can't take with us and what responsibility and
- 18:12accountability. We can't continue to deflect on
- 18:15anybody outside of ourselves. So overall, the transits through
- 18:19this again and into next week, it feels like this wake up call
- 18:22and we have this opportunity, like I said in the beginning to
- 18:24shift out of this automatic transmission living and get into
- 18:29a more fun and exhilarating and honest way of living, living
- 18:32more manually on purpose with intention and personal ownership
- 18:36and authority. So getting up and enjoy the ride
- 18:39over the transits of this next week.

- 19:01And I can't wait. I'm going to be dropping that
- 19:02Mercury retrograde episode. It's a focus topic, so it's a
- 19:05little bit more dry, it's a little bit more technical, but
- 19:08it's something that you can save and reference and resource going
- 19:10back to it again and again and again.
- 19:12And I'm hoping that that episode will also kind of reframe a new
- 19:17vantage point so that we don't have so how much fear mongering
- 19:20around Mercury retrograde. Maybe it's not all bad.
- 19:23Maybe there's actually a way to make it feel good.
- 19:27So definitely stay tuned for that episode coming out and
- 19:29remember to check out the links below this episode for our
- 19:31Spotify playlist, my one-on-one astrology consultations and all
- 19:34of those digital products as well.
- 19:36Until next time I will see everybody on the other side of
- 19:39this crazy chaotic what the fuck is going on right?
