*Saturn Stationing to turn Retrograde* July 20th
According to Vedic astrology, Saturn will turn retrograde (Vakri) on 27 July 2026 while transiting Pisces (Meena Rashi).
It will remain retrograde until approximately 10-11 December 2026, when it stations direct (Margi) again.
Key Dates
27 July 2026 -Shani Vakri (stations retrograde)
10-11 December 2026- Shani Margi (stations direct)
From a Vedic perspective, the station period (about 7-10 days before and after the exact retrograde) is often considered the most intense phase because Saturn's apparent motion becomes extremely slow.
Effects related to karma, responsibilities, delays, governments, economies, employment, and long-term commitments tend to become more noticeable during this window.
For mundane astrology, I would keep a close watch on: 20 July -5 August 2026 and 1-15 December 2026, as Saturn's energy is at its strongest around the station points.
In the Bible, the emerald is a precious stone that adorns the foundation of the New Jerusalem. The emerald is a symbol of the city's beauty, value, and divine origin. It also represents the resurrection and the birth of a new life.
*Mars enters Taurus today and remains there until 2nd August 2026.*
The more challenging phase of 2026 begins now.
As Mars moves through Krittika, Rohini, and Mrigashira, expect heightened tensions around finances, resources, markets, weather events, and geopolitical matters.
Be careful with your jobs and matters related to love relationships. Over spending needs to be watched
Patience will be a strength. Impulsive actions may prove costly.
Watch the coming weeks carefully. The story of 2026 is only beginning to unfold.
St. Louis IX, King.
If God sends you suffering,
receive it with humility,
think that you have deserved it,
and that He sends it for your salvation.
If everything succeeds for you,
do not then give yourself over
to pride
or to other misdeeds;
for you would be abusing God’s
benefits in order to offend Him.
— St. Louis IX, King
Saint Louis IX ruled France from 1226-1270 and is one of the most revered Catholic monarchs — a model of Christian kingship, justice, and piety. He went on two Crusades, promoted justice and charity in his realm, and was canonized in 1297.
Saint Louis IX is shown crowned and robed in blue with fleur-de-lis (the symbol of French royalty) holding the Crown of Thorns on a red cushion, with rays of light emanating from it. St. Louis IX acquired the relic of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople and built the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house it.

Have you ever noticed the twin torchbearers in the classic scene of Mithras slaying the bull? In the Cult of Mithras, these figures are named Cautes and Cautopates, and just like Gemini, they’re sometimes referred to as “The Starry Twins”.
These twins often frame or bookend the scene, and you generally see one holding a torch upward and the other downward. This reflects a central theme in twin mythology: contrasting or complementary energies. Exploring this through torch symbolism is particularly fitting given Gemini’s esoteric associations with summer, the sun and fire.
In fact, Gemini was sometimes seen not as brothers, but as two “fire sticks.” Curiously, torches are a type of fire stick. Their opposing directions, it has been said, suggest the rising and setting sun and/or the equinoxes. Speaking of the sun, let’s not forget that many classic versions of The Sun card show twins or two young brothers.
Lastly, in a scene where the bull is center stage, finding a reference to twin symbolism is fitting given Gemini’s close proximity to Taurus. Naturally, there’s a lot more that could be said about this.
What do you make of these twins and their role in the Mithraic mysteries?

Pineal gland activations on the third eye this weekend bringing the indigo wave of awakenings which bring truth and pave the way for justice. As seeing through all illusions will give many aha moments. Ear ringing, blurred vision, sleepiness and increased visuals for meditations can all be experienced now. A powerful gateway to align the heart and mind in unity! As a lack of unity between is how narcissism is programmed and conditioned on humanity for power of control. Power over others is sorcery and power within is empower and freedom. Thankfully light will counter and balance many distortions and inversions! Allow yourself balance as the right and left hemispheres of the brain are equalizing and centering in the now will help to not experience dizziness! Enjoy the light activations now through the gateway of the sun!!!
This was one of the most bizarre moments we’ve seen when covering tornadoes.
This sidewinder tornado near Ipava, Illinois fully wrapped around itself, contorting its vortex and writhing like a knotted-up snake, all the while being stretched into eventual oblivion.
