Astrological update for the week of June 5-12, 2023

artist unknown?

Venus in Leo and the Venus retrograde cycle. Venus leaves emotional cancer for Leo on June 5th, and will remain in Leo until October. This is a nice long time to enjoy the beneficial light of Venus, planet of love, in the sign of the Sun! This week we may find ourselves feeling a greater need for validation from those around us since a stressful aspect from Venus to intense Pluto, and then later in the week to Jupiter, may […]

Astrological news this week: SuperMoon in Sagittarius! And Mercury in Gemini

art by Betty Albert

Astrological update for the week of June 13-20, 2022

There is a lot going on here, and the bigger influences tend to outshine the lunar aspects so we will put those on hold this week.

Sagittarius SuperMoon. This week’s Full Moon in Sagittarius (June 14, 11:51 am EDT) is a SuperMoon (™ astrologer Richard Nolle), meaning it is closer to Earth than at other times. When planetary bodies are closer to Earth their influence is stronger, which is why Mercury retrograde periods […]

Astrological news this week: Gemini New Moon & a change of direction

Astrological update for the week of May 30 – June 5, 2022

art by Paula Bella Flores

A New Moon in Gemini, the sign of communication and experiences, offers an opportunity for a new perspective. The ruler of the New Moon is Mercury, the messenger planet, adding to the focus on communication and adaptation. In mythology, Mercury was the only god who was able to travel back and forth to the Underworld, facilitating communication between the gods. Mercury-ruled Gemini teaches us to accept and integrate a wide variety […]

Astrological news this week: Pluto retrograde and eclipse season begins!

Astrological update for the week of April 25 – May 2, 2022

art by John Craig

Pluto turns retrograde. I’ve been talking for a while about the Pluto station because Pluto hasn’t moved much in months – it’s only traveled one degree since the end of February and won’t travel more than one degree until early July. That is a long time if you have planets between 25 and 29 Capricorn or the other cardinal signs Cancer, Libra Aries. And if you have planets between 0 and 2 […]

5.28.21 – Easier communication and flow with Mercury in Gemini conjunct Venus

art by Viktor Nizovtsev

Yesterday’s Venus/Neptune aspect opened the doorways to creativity and imagination, and then today we have Mercury conjunct Venus to lubricate greater flow in our interactions with others. Mercury, in its own sign of Gemini where we are chattier, more curious, and more open minded, is the perfect match for Venus in Gemini which seeks connection through communication. Under this influence which peaks on Saturday morning EDT compromise and adaptation comes more easily and it’s easier to understand the viewpoints of others.

Mercury is stationary in the […]

5.20.21 – Sun enters Gemini, taking us fully into Gemini season ☀️

art by Ciro Marchetti

Gemini is symbolized by the Twins, and in this archetype we see the two sides of Gemini: one dark and one light. Astronomically, one of the twin stars of Gemini is often inside the Milky Way while the other lies outside it. There are two faces to Gemini and they are rarely seen at the same time. The quest for Gemini is to unite with the inner twin – to truly understand that while their outer experiences are crucial for their personal growth, it […]

5.12.21 – Rebalancing and mental clarity with Mercury trine Saturn

art by Romany Soup

Did anyone else find this New Moon to be particularly intense? I know I did! Today’s energies will help to balance out rough energies and facilitate the processing of information that might have been gained from the lunar event. Mercury is in its own sign of Gemini, where it is best able to handle the inflows of data that comes from our experiences and filtered through our psyche and emotions into a form which can be used for growth and increased understanding. The stability […]

5.4.21 – Mercury in Gemini: Re-imagining the world ☀️

art by Nastia Kamentseva

Gemini is a shapeshifter and easily modifies obstacles and helps to activate the mind to embrace experiences that change us. Ruled by Mercury, it encourages us to shift the way we perceive our own lives through experiencing our lives through the perceptions of others. When the planet Mercury travels through Gemini where it is particularly at home, there is more fluidity and flexibility in our thoughts and actions. There is less of a focused attention on details, and more of an open-minded approach to the occurrences going on […]

5.3.21 – Prepare for an explosion of brainpower today! 🤓

art by Daniela Zekina

The skies are flooded with energies from the mental realm today. We have a strong square aspect from Mercury in Taurus to Jupiter in Aquarius, a stubborn combination of fixed ideas and the potential for everyone to want to be right. Watch for arguments and disagreements, as well as a heightened level of conversation generally under that Jupiterian expansion. The Moon is in Aquarius today, facilitating a rational perspective using the powers of reason. However, that pesky Mars in Cancer suggests a rumbling of emotionality lurking beneath the […]
