OOB NEW MOON IN CANCER 14 JULY 2026 heading home...right? The New Moon will occur in the maternal sign of Cancer at 21°59’ (antiscion 08°01’ Gemini). Being in its own sign this is obviously a very dignified Moon, loving and caring, or perhaps not since the Moon is also OOB. OOB Moons are known to have a very personal idea of what mothering might mean.
VENUS ENTERS VIRGO 9 JULY 2026 Miss Modesty Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for some of us) break after the Leo extravagance.
NEPTUNE STATIONS RETROGRADE IN ARIES 7 JULY 2026 Neptune is said to be the higher octave of Venus and a couple of days after Neptune stations, Venus will enter the sign of Virgo (where Aries has its antiscion). Neptune will begin its annual 5-month retrograde period on 7 July at 04°25’ Aries (antiscion 25°35’ Virgo) and will turn station to turn direct on 12 December at 01°37 Aries.
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.
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.
MARS IN GEMINI 28 JUNE 2026 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[...]
OOB FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN 29-30 JUNE 2026 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.
OOB NEW MOON IN GEMINI ON 14-15 JUNE 2026 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.
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.
OOB MERCURY ENTERS CANCER 01 JUNE 2026 OOB until 14 June, Mercury enters the nurturing sign of Cancer on 01 June where it will remain until 9 August due to its retrograde period from 29 June to 23 July.
