The Week of July 6th, 2026

Focus, clarity, and a Mercury cazimi

The astrology of the week of July 6th, 2026, is here to clarify our next steps. After all the noise of last week’s historic Mars–Uranus meet-up, the Sun’s square with Saturn (the planet of boundaries) helps us narrow in on what needs our focus right now. As Neptune (the planet of dreams) stations retrograde, it offers support for our big-picture planning. Think: What reality do we want to live in, and how are we working to shape that future right now? When Venus (the planet of beauty and connection) moves into Virgo, it joins the South Node and highlights the relationship dynamics that are up for review. And a Mercury cazimi (a clarifying moment for the planet of communication) reminds us to make sure we’re getting our needs met. Now is the time to think critically about where you’re putting your energy and attention. What you water, grows.

The Week of June 29th, 2026

A Jupiter sign-shift, a Full Moon, and a mix of fireworks and mischief

The astrology of the week of June 29th, 2026, is explosive and action-packed. Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Cancer, kick-starting an emotional — and eye-opening — trip down memory lane. Then a go-getter Full Moon in Capricorn asks us to up our TLC if we don’t want to burn out from chasing our goals, especially as Jupiter (the planet of growth) moves into Leo and insists we put our talents in the spotlight. And when Mars (the warrior planet) meets up with Uranus (the cosmic disruptor) in Gemini, we can expect a whole system shake-up that could make history. Now is the time to reflect on what’s been working well in your world, update anything you’ve outgrown, and think practically about how you want to reimagine the future.

The Week of June 22nd, 2026

Commitment, community, and the chaos of Mars in Gemini

The astrology of the week of June 22nd, 2026, closes one chapter and opens another. Venus’ trine to Saturn encourages us to fully commit to our creative plans and the power of our connections, to celebrate the beautiful history of those who came before us, and to take ownership of our own legacies. And as Mars ends its time in Taurus with a sextile to Jupiter, we’re given one last jolt of energy to finish the projects that need wrapping up before the planet of action starts stirring up chaos in Gemini. This is the time to lock in to your commitments, communities, and creations ahead of July’s game-changing astrology.
