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 [...]
OOB MERCURY ENTERS CANCER 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. 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 and with the planet being OOB* for the earlier part of its stay this may mean that we have an overflow of rationality when it comes to sentiments and feelings or, our poetic vein and story-telling could reach new [...]
OOB FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS 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. Full Moons are times of harvest, the climax of the lunar cycle when energy is at its topmost…and we would do well to recognize this[...]
OOB VENUS ENTERS CANCER 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. One of the images of Venus in Cancer is certainly that of the romantic figure forever in love with Prince or Princess Charming. Venus, of course, doesn’t rule only love, it also covers, among [...]
MARS ENTERS TAURUS 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. Mars is in his detriment in Taurus, he’s not his usual self so anger tends to fester and boil but when it explodes the devastation is usually total and irreversible. On the plus side no one resists and perseveres longer than Mars in Taurus in any endeavour he undertakes. During the [...]
MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI AND GOES OOB* Mentally unhinged? Mercury enters one of the signs that it rules on 17 May and goes OOB at 12° of the sign on the 22 May remaining in this condition until the 14 June when it will be at 17° Cancer. Mercury is obviously in his element here, a rational and agile thinker open to new ideas and experimentations, puns and intellectual flexibility are also part of the game although Mercury is also the prankster of the zodiac and here words could be used to alter the truth in some way! The OOB status could make this planet very versatile indeed with [...]
