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.
OOB FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS 31 MAY 2026 tell me your truth…. There will be a full Moon at 09°56’ of Sagittarius, a Mutable Fire sign (antiscion 20°04’ Capricorn) which will also be OOB. This is the second Full Moon of the month of May and known by some astrologers as a “Blue Moon”. The Sagittarius Moon is usually a jovial, quest-searching entity that desires, above all, truth and something to believe in. It also loves freedom and is easily motivated.
OOB VENUS ENTERS CANCER ON 18-19 MAY 2026 The caring partner or the stingy lover…from socialite to housewife The most motherly of signs welcomes the most loving of planets and it looks like we’re in for just over three weeks of tender, caring love or are we? Especially since Venus will remain OOB* from 04 May to until 07 June so we can expect a planet that doesn’t exactly behave according to the norm.
MARS ENTERS TAURUS ON 18 MAY 2026 Mars is leaving his home sign of Aries to enter his detriment in Venus’s daytime sign. From daredevil and impossible to sensual and possessive. Mars in Taurus thrives on security, safety, routine and organization, slow to warm up but super passionate once the fire is lit.
