Libra New Moon: Can I Just Enjoy My Coffee?
The Libra New Moon wants five minutes of peace—but beneath the easygoing surface, unfinished questions about desire, values, obligations, and change keep demanding attention. Enjoy the coffee, but don’t ignore what keeps needling you.
Mars Enters Leo: Do It Anyway
Mars enters Leo on September 27, and apparently it’s had enough of waiting. The questions aren’t resolved, the wounds aren’t healed, and certainty hasn’t arrived. Mars may be ready to act anyway. But before you roar, there’s one important question: Who’s actually pulling the strings?
Aries Full Moon: Urgency Isn’t Certainty
The Aries Full Moon wants action—but the rest of the chart keeps asking questions. As pressure builds around what we believe, what we protect, and what deserves our commitment, the challenge is knowing the difference between urgency and certainty.
The Fall Equinox: What Are You Ready to Leave Behind?
The Fall Equinox is a time to take stock of what we’ve grown—and what we may not want to carry into winter. Here’s how to use your natal chart as a tool for divination and reflection on what might be ready to be left behind.
Virgo New Moon: What If the Information Has Changed?
What happens when new information asks us to reconsider something we have very good reasons to be angry about? The Virgo New Moon brings a shift in perspective—and challenges us to decide whether the plan still fits what we know now.
Venus enter Scorpio - and immediately starts digging
Venus enters Scorpio on September 10, asking us to look beneath the surface of our relationships, values, wounds, and desires. But before you start digging for hidden truths, make sure there’s actually something there.
Full Moon in Pisces: You May Be Further Along Than You Think
This Pisces Full Moon is also a partial lunar eclipse—and it may be illuminating a change that happened before you even realized you’d crossed the threshold. With the luminaries just past the lunar nodes, Hecate at the crossroads, and much of Aries still retrograde, the future may already be unfolding even if you can’t quite see its shape yet.
Changing of the Guards: the Lunar Nodes Move Into Aquarius & Leo
The lunar nodes are changing signs—twice, depending on how you calculate them. As we leave the Pisces–Virgo axis behind and move into Aquarius–Leo, the evolutionary question shifts from perfection and surrender to authenticity, recognition, and whether we still need someone else’s permission to shine.
Excuse Me, I’m Having a Leo Moment
I had one question under this Leo New Moon eclipse: Why can’t somebody revolve around me just once? Then I looked at my chart. Well, sh*t. There it was.
Leo Solar Eclipse & New Moon: Which Fire Do You Choose to Feed?

Full Moon in Aquarius: Separating Truth from Noise
The July 29 Full Moon in Aquarius shines a light on more than our emotions—it asks us to separate truth from noise. As Uranus uncovers new information, Pluto digs beneath the surface, and the Sun joins Jupiter in Leo, we're challenged to decide whether we have enough of the picture to speak, act, or wait for greater clarity. Explore the astrology behind one of the most thought-provoking lunations of the summer.
The Most Interesting Thing in the Sky: July 26, 2026
Saturn's retrograde station may be the event that draws our attention on July 26, 2026, but it isn't the real story. A powerful dialogue between Pluto, Juno, the Sun, Jupiter, and a remarkable pattern of repeating degrees asks a much deeper question: What are we really building?
Cancer New Moon: Before You Keep Going, Check Your Heart
Before you push forward, the Cancer New Moon asks you to pause for an honest heart check. Mercury retrograde encourages reflection, while the ongoing Aries energy reminds us of the vision we've been building all year. The challenge? Making sure your commitment still reflects what truly matters—and not simply the story you've been telling yourself about what happiness is supposed to feel like.
Venus Enters Virgo: The Crossroads Between Perfection and Trust
Venus enters Virgo on July 9, bringing a quieter, more reflective energy than we might expect. As she encounters the South Node, opposes Hecate, and trines newly-ingressed Chiron in Taurus, questions from the past may resurface, asking for a fresh perspective. This isn't a transit about rushing toward answers. It's about discerning what still deserves your time, energy, and trust.
Neptune Retrograde: Is the Vision Still Yours?
Neptune stations retrograde on July 7, 2026, beginning a months-long review of the vision you've been building since March.

In this article, we'll explore Neptune in Aries, the shadow period, the station chart, and how to find this important review in your own birth chart.
Don't Fear the Retrograde
Retrogrades have earned an unfair reputation in modern astrology. The moment Mercury turns retrograde, social media fills with warnings about delays, miscommunication, and chaos. But are retrogrades really something to fear? In this article, we'll explore what retrogrades actually are, how shadow periods and stations work, why some retrogrades feel more significant than others, and how you can use these cycles for reflection, refinement, and growth instead of dreading them.
Jupiter Enters Leo: The Courage to Be Seen
Jupiter enters Leo on June 30, 2026, inviting us to step into greater confidence, creativity, and self-expression. But this isn't a simple story of boldness and applause. As Jupiter forms a tense dialogue with Chiron and Pluto, we're asked to examine whether it's safe to be seen, whether we're being authentic, and what opportunities might emerge when we stop hiding our gifts. Discover how Jupiter's move into Leo could help you find the courage to step forward.
Capricorn Full Moon: Do You Have the Heart to Build It?
