A retrograde turn pulls things back for review, and 4 sign changes shift the collective tone, the lunations mark the month's open and close, a slow outer-planet aspect colours the backdrop.

Mercury Cazimi
aspect
Mercury Cazimi: heart-of-the-Sun clarity around speech, contracts, and timing.
Read the full reading
Mercury meets the Sun in Cazimi, seated in the heart of the solar fire where a planet is briefly purified instead of burned. This is concentrated weather for speech, contracts, and timing, not background noise.
Claim one clean truth and act on it before the window closes. Cazimi rewards backbone, not spectacle.

*New Moon in Leo
lunation
New Moon in Leo: plant one real intention around visibility and heart.
Read the full reading
The sky goes dark in Leo, and that is not emptiness. It is the month's reset around visibility and heart. New Moons are the inhale: the seed is underground, but the body already knows.
This New Moon asks you to show up as the version you mean. Do not renovate your whole life overnight. Pick one sentence you can repeat for two weeks and let the feeling arrive before the spreadsheet does.
Deep dive
Think of the light you refuse to dim. That image is the architecture under the mood. New Moons in Leo reward honesty about desire, not performance about ambition.
Gravity and hope: if the intention still matters at the Full Moon, it was real. If it fades, you just saved yourself a longer detour.

*Full Moon in Aquarius
lunation
Full Moon in Aquarius: future and collective reaches the surface. Look without flinching.
Read the full reading
The Moon fills in Aquarius, and Full Moons do not whisper. Whatever you built around future and collective is visible now. You may get clarity, or you may get the bill for what you kept semi-dark on purpose.
Use this Full Moon to separate completion from theater. Celebrate what is actually ripe. Release what only looked finished because you were tired of carrying it.
Deep dive
Keep the network that changes the room nearby. Full Moons in Aquarius expose where you stayed loyal to a version of the story that no longer fits your spine.
Illumination is information, not indictment. What you integrate now becomes usable strength by the next New Moon.
