MERCURY RETROGRADE IN CANCER Thoughts, plans and emotions are all entangled Mercury stations retrograde on 29 June at 26°15’ Cancer (antiscion 03°45’ Gemini). Cancer, being a Water sign, is all about feelings and emotions and, being ruled by the Moon, how these fluctuate in time. Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” Mercury. Retrograde planets seemingly interfere with the normal ongoing flow of activities represented by that planet in [...]
JUPITER IN LEO 29-30 JUNE 2026 So many things can be said about the year we are now in. The outer planets have all moved and there has been the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Jupiter was last in the sign of Leo from 16 July 2014 to 11 August 2015, its stay there was continuous with no back and fro between previous or subsequent signs. The same pattern will occur this time too with the ingress of Jupiter into Leo on 29-30 June and its departure on 26 July 2027. What was happening in your life during the last transit of Jupiter in Leo? As with all planets Jupiter too has a pattern of [...]
MARS IN GEMINI mental overdrive…. Mars will enter Gemini on 28 June. After being rather uncomfortable in Taurus, the sign of his detriment, where sensuality and stubbornness perhaps added to the planet’s allure, Mars is now ready for mental rationality, quick thinking, dexterity and perhaps even some maverick moves. Mars in Gemini is rather unleashed and free to prank around as and if he pleases, Gemini is, after all, a smart-ass sign that nearly always manages to have the last word, well, sometimes, all the words, since the gift of the gab certainly is part of this socialite [...]
OOB FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN The Full Moon will occur at 08°15’ in the serious, ambitious sign of Capricorn (antiscion 21°45’ Sagittarius) and has the flavour of the 4th-10th house axis (Cancer-Capricorn), the intimate versus the public, home versus work/career, fluidity versus rigidity etc. An emotionally dry Full Moon in Capricorn with its dispositor Saturn in fall in Aries in a separating trine with Venus, and an approaching square from Moon and Sun. The OOB status will only highlight the Moon’s inability to function normally. The lunation itself is separating from a Cardinal [...]
OOB NEW MOON IN GEMINI keeping calm may be a problem.... The OOB New Moon will occur at 24°03’ Gemini (antiscion 05°57’ Cancer). This is a very inquisitive, intellectual Moon, hard to pin down emotionally due to its constantly changing feelings caused by its tendency to over-rationalise everything. Under pressure this Moon is not very reliable and commitment issues may surface. New Moons are times when we are invited to set our intentions for the month to come regarding that area of our life which the Moon is illuminating in this lunar phase. People most affected by this [...]
VENUS ENTERS LEO 13 JUNE 2026 Look at me, look at me… Venus, the planet of values, love, and finances, enters the sign of Leo. In Leo, Venus feels courted and pampered (after all Leo is the King and she is the Goddess!), she hates to be ignored and seeks attention, which isn’t difficult for her since she adds her own talents to Leo’s natural penchant for passion, generosity and warmth towards others. Venus rules the sign of Taurus (her more practical side involving finances and comforts in general) and Libra (love, harmony and relationships) so you should look not only to [...]
