CURRENTLY: Sun at 22 Cancer Mercury STATIONING DIRECT at 10 Cancer Venus at 16 Gemini Mars at 7 Virgo Jupiter at 19 Gemini Saturn RETROGRADE at 7 Pisces Neptune RETROGRADE at 7 Pisces (rulership, strong) Pluto RETROGRADE at 8 Capricorn North Node at 24 Aquarius
Full Moon at 22° Capricorn at 1:00am PDT August 9 There’s a lot of potential and opportunity out there, but a lot of conflicting energies too. You feel pulled in many different directions. There’s possibilities for witnessing, listening, and hearing instruction from our higher selves. Illusions are destroyed. Watch and listen.
Sturgeon Moon: sturgeon were once abundant in North American lakes at this time of year. Full Moon rises at 22 Capricorn. She is in her detriment in Capricorn, which celebrates “getting ahead” more than being vulnerable. People become cautious and it’s hard to get concessions from authority figures. The energies of this Full Moon will unfold over the week ahead giving us peak experiences with our ambitions, career, and personal story.
We have a six planet alignment just after sunset tonight with Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn — all bright and easily visible to the naked eye — and Uranus and Neptune, which can be seen with the aid of binoculars. Many falling stars this weekend with the Perseid meteors streaking across the sky.
Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology, because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 0 Cancer Mercury at 20 Cancer Venus at 18 Taurus (in her rulership, good for Venus Magick) Mars at 21 Leo Jupiter at 13 Gemini (in detriment, no Jupiter Magick now) Saturn RETROGRADE at 7 Pisces Uranus at 6 Taurus Neptune RETROGRADE 7 Pisces (rulership) Pluto RETROGRADE at 8 Capricorn North Node at 25 Aquarius
The vedic astrological signatures for July are interesting, so much so I have to share what I’ve discovered! Let me know in the comments if you’ve found any of this happening in your life. The New Moon in Cancer will be Thursday, July 24th.
The strongest energy this month is occuring in the sign of Leo. Since everyone has Leo in their chart somewhere, it’s affecting you. In Jyotish, or Vedic astrology, both Mars and Ketu are sharp, fiery signs. They BOTH rule knives, needles… anything pointy. What does this mean? Everything associated with Leo right now is sharp as hell: creative projects, ideas, art, and performances will be amazing to watch since musicians and artists are sharply focused, unified, and on point.
However, the actions of Leo actually manifest in the sign of Libra, so this is a tough time for partnerships (Libra). There is sharp energy aimed Libra, which can cause fights and break ups in any type of partnership. Careful what you say to your partner right now. This energy will keep building until the conjunction of Rahu and Mars on July 20th. If you want to know how this specifically affects your chart, schedule a reading with me here.
Saturn and Neptune are stationing retrograde right now in a conjunction at 7 Pisces. This is a water sign, AND these two planets stationing (standing still) together are affecting the water element, as you’ve seen with the destructive floods lately. Right now it’s hard to find the edge between truth and reality, and many people are feeling lost. On top of that, Mercury is going retrograde in Cancer next week, further disturbing the water element. I you want a quick reading on how Saturn in Pisces will affect you over the next two years, and what you can do about it, book a reading with me here.
“Create the habit of gratitude in your life and watch your life transform.” Gratitude and staying in a grateful state of energy, is probably one of the most popular topics when it comes to well-being, would you say? Yet, thousands have come to me feeling quite the opposite. Many are in a state of worry and stress. I’ve heard some say, “How can I be grateful and happy when I have a sick family member, or have no idea if I’m going to make the rent, or be able to keep my job, or whether or not my relationship is going to fall apart?” At one point or another in our lives, many can relate to these concerns. I know I sure can having experienced several layoffs, and having been the caregiver when my precious mother had a terminal illness. But practicing the habit of gratitude helps keep our mental state more positive, and this kind of energy, in turn, helps us handle these difficult situations.
What makes it easier to be grateful is to associate this state of being with trust and peace. Consider that when we focus heavily on what we’re grateful for, it becomes a great reminder. A reminder that what we’re often grateful for, are things we prayed for that were granted. Perhaps pause for a moment before continuing to read further. Think of two things or experiences you’ve prayed for and received. The more we think of things to be grateful for, the more the level of trust and faith within our heart increases for the next areas of concern. And peace enfolds us where we start to have a knowing that whatever we’re presented with in our lives, will serve a Higher purpose, and will come with all that is needed to handle it. Staying in a state of gratitude also helps us to actually enjoy and celebrate any good that happens to us, no matter how small it may be.
One of the keys to staying in a state of gratitude and decreasing worry, is to let go of the tight mental hold of how you want things to turn out. Where you set your intention, or as I call it, “place your order with the Universe”, then trust and let go of when and how you want things to turn out. This allows the Universe to orchestrate and serve us what is needed for all involved, and His peace is included. Trust is the main factor here. When we trust the Source we’re sending our order to, it enables peace to set in. When we trust and feel peace, patience follows. Hence, that tight hold to the outcome is released. A good quick prayer for assistance can be, “God (Infinite Source- or whatever your loving Higher power is), please help me to feel your love, peace, patience, trust and comfort in my heart, please and thank you.” As you feel that releasing breath, allow yourself to think of a couple things you’re grateful for. Eventually this becomes habit. And so does the feeling of peace. And isn’t feeling peaceful one of the main goals?
What has greatly helped so many, as well as myself reap the benefits of gratitude energy, is to write in a gratitude journal. Keeping it simple seems to make writing in it consistently much easier. I have a very tiny inexpensive notebook. For each day I include the date, and title it, “I am beyond grateful for:”, and I number each statement. I carry over the numbers, and I’m up to 1443 gratitude entries since last August. I write in it when I wake up, and before I go to sleep. Some days, I write just two things. There are no rules.
When you allow yourself to stay in a state of gratitude on a daily basis, you’ll start finding it easier to forgive and release past hurts and wrongs, as well as feel love in your heart for the smallest of things. Acknowledging what we’re grateful for causes us to get in the habit of thinking more constructively even in the most challenging situations. This in turn keeps our energy lighter to effectively handle them. And last but not least, practicing gratitude daily, manifests more reasons to be grateful. Consider adding daily gratitude to your life, and enjoy the positive transformation that comes with it. ♥
Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 20° Sagittarius Mercury at 5° Sagittarius (in his detriment, no Mercury Magick now) Venus at 15° Sagittarius Mars at 18° Sagittarius Jupiter RETROGRADE at 27 Gemini (in detriment, no Jupiter Magick now) Saturn at 2° Pisces Uranus RETROGRADE at 3° Taurus Neptune 5° Pisces (rulership) Pluto at 8 Capricorn North Node at 16° Aquarius
Full Moon at 20° Gemini (sidereal), at 3:32am Pacific. Moon, Sun and Jupiter all conjunct at 9 Gemini, which boosts the energy of this Moon in positive directions. All of this beautiful energy and rebirth is exactly square Saturn though… so you have to rebuild the structure of your life too.
This Moon breathes new beginnings into our communications, thinking, mindset, and social groups. Gemini is talking and socializing, so get out and have some fun! The focus now is on finding our inner truths, and looking at the big picture of our lives. Maybe you need some time in solitude so you can reflect on what’s working in your life, and what you need to release so you can live in your truth.
Try to avoid snap decisions or risky situations though, since the New Moon is square the planet Saturn. You must plan carefully and take the long view of your life.
Happy 2026! January 1st begins with Mercury making its final square to Neptune in Pisces, inviting reflection on intuition, imagination, and trusting subtle inner messages without needing immediate clarity. As Mercury enters Capricorn later that day, joined by the Sun, Venus, and Mars, the tone shifts toward realism, boundaries, responsibility, and discerning what truly deserves your time and energy as the year begins. Chiron stations direct at 22 deg Aries on January 2nd, marking a turning point in personal healing and sovereignty and signaling readiness to move forward after a period of deep internal work. Yet sensitivity remains heightened through its square to Jupiter in Cancer. The January 3rd Cancer Full Moon brings an emotional and heart-centered recalibration, activating themes of belonging, safety, unconditional love, and emotional truth as the lunar energy aligns with Sirius, our Spiritual Sun. Together, these transits describe an initiation into 2026 that asks for stronger boundaries, deeper self-trust, and a renewed connection between heart and purpose, setting the stage for a very active and forward-moving January.

Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 26 Taurus Mercury at 8 Gemini (Rulership! Excellent time for Mercury magick) Venus at 9 Aries Mars at 2 Leo (great for Mars magick) Jupiter at 6 Gemini (in its detriment. No Jupiter magick) Saturn at 6 Pisces Uranus at 4 Taurus Neptune at 7 Pisces (rulership) Pluto RETROGRADE at 9 Capricorn North Node at 29 Aquarius
Full Moon at 26° Scorpio (sidereal) at 12:43am Pacific, 6/11/25. Its falling near the star Antares – the heart of the Scorpion – which is a sensitive, transformational place. We need to be acknowledged, to correct injustice, and to have our boundaries respected. SCORPIO = regeneration, transformation, anger, rebirth, boundaries, sex, and the occult. Scorpio Moon can bring up issues around power and control.
This full moon has a special energy of reverence; a need to be respected and to have our boundaries guarded and honored. It is in the area of the sky called Jyestha. This nakshatra represents respect, so a big part of this full moon in Scorpio is rising up and overcoming disrespect or oppression. We can see it around us right now with the clashes between the violations of human rights and authoritarianism.
We can see clearly through illusion.
It is important to vibrate high and stay away from toxic people and situations. Absolutely get out and protest, but avoid drastic, extremist attitudes.
Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the warrior god of strength, courage, boundaries, assertiveness, men, justice, and action. Mars JUST entered Leo which is fantastic! There is a new feeling of forward motion and getting things done.
Mars encourages us to look at our goals.
Do you have any goals? Are they in alignment with your true and highest self?
Assess your ambitions, life path and direction. It is a time to think about your actions, and whether they are aligned with the life and world you want to create.
Look at your energy and drive because they are valuable. Is your current job or project worth what you’re spending the time on? Do you need to make a change?
Also Saturn and Neptune are in a conjunction in this watery, nebulous energy of Pisces. Saturn is being challenged now to hold structure in what is completely unknown (Neptune). This relates to AI and how it pushes the edge of reality. Be aware that what you think might be real may not be real at all right now. On an inner level understand that what is true in one way can be completely differently true in another way. It’s rare to have a conjunction between Saturn and Neptune. It gives us the ability to see illusion for what it really is, and that is liberating.
The positive thing about this is that Saturn and Neptune in Pisces is opening spiritual growth for a lot of people. This is a powerful time to really be seeing through the illusions.
Current Sidereal placements: Sun at 11° Taurus Mercury 8° Taurus Venus at 26° Pisces (EXALTED! Do Venus stuff!) Mars at 24° Cancer (detriment, no Mars Magick now) Jupiter at 2° Gemini Saturn at 6° Pisces Uranus at 3° Taurus Neptune at 7° Pisces (rulership) Pluto RETROGRADE at 9° Capricorn North Node at 0° Pisces
New Moon at 11° Taurus. The Moon is “exalted” in Taurus, which means it expresses itself easily. This gives a calm, sensuous and indulgent feel to last weekend. The Sun in an earth sign brings up the issue of what we’re committing ourselves to, and if we need to update our agreements.
A new moon occurs every month when the Sun and Moon are in the same sign. It’s the beginning of a 30-day lunar cycle, and it’s when you set your intentions for the coming month. As the Moon grows, your intention grows in form and scope; coming to fruition at the full Moon two weeks later. Forming an intention is instinctual, since the Moon is black and there’s no illumination of the night sky. The Sun (the light) is also hidden, so we must ‘feel” our way, since we cannot see clearly.
The BIG change however, is that Rahu and Ketu have just entered new signs for the coming 18 months and are hovering at 0 degrees. This creates instability and uncertainty. Where are Aquarius and Leo in your Vedic chart? It shows what’s being activated in this new cycle. To find out where the change is, you can book a reading with me here.
Jupiter has also entered Gemini for the next year, and will offer increased creativity, expansion with communication and self expression. Kickstart your mind into a higher gear, and focus on achieving your potential.
Mars is still languishing in the sign of Cancer, where he is supremely unhappy. If there’s been trouble in the home the past couple of months don’t despair, we’re almost through it!
Uranus is currently in Taurus, and it will shake up and change wherever Taurus sits in your chart. It’s probably an area that has started feeling stagnant; a corner of your life that needs some fresh air. Uranus brings liberation, and a new way of expressing the genius within you. This corner of your life will radically transform in the next seven years.

Today! Monday, May 12th we have a Full Moon in Libra. Romance is in the air. We can have positive conversations and work out agreements with people. The focus is on playing fair and taking everyone’s feelings into account. Work towards win-win situations. This Moon focuses on relationships and reflects the culmination of what’s been building up this Spring.
The Sun in Aries symbolizes the “self” and individuality, and it’s opposite, Libra, represents balance, fairness, relationships, equality and justice. Libra is the sign where we have to deal with other people, so all of our relationships and partnerships will be highlighted this week. It’s a great time to hammer out new, balanced agreements at work too.
The Sun will be in a conjunction with Uranus on this Full Moon too, so expect the unexpected. Literally anything can happen. Self love can be understood on a new level.
Seems like most of the folks I talk to nowadays are stressed out. Lots of people getting laid off, or not knowing how to deal with stress, or how to find the next step on the path of life. What can you do now? Even though a lot is out of our control, there’s still actions we can take to make our lives better, no matter what is happening in the world! Here’s some things I thought of that might help! Please add to this list in the comments if you think of something else.

We had a Full Moon at 28 Virgo last Saturday. It sparks off a week of organization and assimilation. I view Virgo as the sign of the High Priestess, inspiring us to own our power, and living in our authenticity. With Virgo we get REAL and accept what life has given us. The problem though, is Virgo’s ruler Mercury is currently wallowing in Pisces. He’s unable to express himself there, and his quickness gets watered down with dreams and intuition. So yeah, there may not be a lot of clarity this week. It’s a balance between taking care of business and trusting our intuition.
But the BEST news is that Venus turned DIRECT right after the full moon. This brings a new chapter of love and money into our lives. If things have felt “off” over the past couple of months, we now have a new clarity and direction. Follow the truth you’re finding now, and take a step towards freedom. Last Saturday’s full moon can heal self-doubt and heartbreak, and offers true closure on relationships, ideas, and contracts when it’s for the highest good.
Venus turning Direct and becoming the Morning Star is symbolic of rebellion, and it only occurs once every 18 months. The weeks ahead are when Venus reaches her brightest luminosity, and she will dominate the morning sky.
And as a reminder, ALL the planets are Direct now! You can make real progress with this forward motion. The Moon, however, is squaring almost every planet this week, so emotionally we are running a gauntlet of different relationships and situations.
CURRENT SKY: Sun at 27 Aquarius (detriment – no Sun Magick now) Mercury stationing RETROGRADE at 14 Pisces (in it’s Fall – no Mercury Magick now) Venus RETROGRADE at 13 Pisces Mars at 23 Gemini Jupiter at 18 Taurus Saturn at 27 Aquarius (rulership) Neptune at 4 Pisces (rulership, strong) Pluto at 8 Capricorn North Node at 2 Pisces
Full Moon Eclipse at 27 Leo sidereally, occuring at 11:55pm Pacific TONIGHT! Prepare to be liberated.
A Full Moon at the end of Leo often represents a life full of happiness and joy. Leo, ruled by the Sun, follows his heart and connects with creativity. It’s a joyous time, and the perfect night to see electrifying musical or artistic performances. However this Full Moon is exactly opposite Saturn, which means we also need to be hard-working and sincere with our work. Saturn maintains a strict discipline, including cleanliness and neatness. You will never find clutter on his table.
Some ancient peoples say that being outside with an eclipse is not a good thing. This is because Ketu – symbolizing the past – will be moving across the Moon. It’s the shadowy tail of the cosmic dragon, and it brings up past uncertainties, the unseen, and ancient karmas. If we are ready, it gives us the power to face our past and make fundamental changes, releasing the dead weight of grievances and empty attachments. This eclipse is a portal, showing us how to release regret and heartbreak.
Tonight, this eclipse falls in a section of the Vedic sky called “Uttara Phalguni”. It’s symbolized by a bed, and represents relaxation, comfort, and rejuvenation. Mindfully use this eclipse to remove blocks to prosperity, friendship and noble virtue.
Also, Mercury is going retrograde at 14 Pisces tomorrow (Friday)!
Venus went retrograde last weekend. We are slowing down and looking backwards to old relationship patterns over the next month. Her retrograde cycle is actually an ancient process of transformation. Venus sinks in the evening sky, disappears in the Sun, then rises as the morning star a few week later. She comes down to earth to re-evaluate things. The Venus retrograde cycle comes once every 18 months, and manifests a powerful cycle of death and rebirth. We shed old ideals and think about what works for us in the present. We confront hard truths about love, money, and creativity. When Venus rises as the Morning Star on April 12th, a new clarity regarding commitment and self-worth will also rise.
