6/28/26: Mercury Retrograde Begins as Jupiter Enters Leo

This week is packed with some of the biggest astrological shifts we've seen in months!

It all begins with Mars entering Gemini for the first time in two years, energizing our minds, conversations, and curiosity. Almost immediately, Mercury—the ruler of Gemini—turns retrograde on Monday, beginning a three-week period of reflection, revision, and rediscovery.

Monday also brings the practical yet emotionally powerful Full Moon in Capricorn, illuminating where responsibility, achievement, and emotional truth intersect. Expect the beginning of the week to carry a potent mix of insight, intensity, and opportunity.

Then, late Monday into early Tuesday, Jupiter—the great benefic—moves into the creative fire sign of Leo for the next 13 months, opening the door to greater confidence, imagination, self-expression, and heartfelt expansion.

As the week draws to a close, Mars begins a series of conversations with the outer planets, starting with Uranus. These aspects remind us to think before we speak, choose our words wisely, and remain open to unexpected breakthroughs rather than impulsive reactions.

It's a transformative week filled with new beginnings, powerful realizations, and opportunities to align with a bigger vision for your life. Set your intentions, stay present with the unfolding energies, and allow the Universe to respond.

There's so much to explore on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast!

6/21/26: The Solstice Threshold

The week begins with the Solstice, marking the first full week of the Sun's journey through nurturing Cancer and the final days of Jupiter's year-long passage through this heartfelt sign before the great planet strides into Leo for the next 13 months. Midweek, the Sun challenges dreamy Neptune in Aries, inspiring imagination, vision, and perhaps a few questions about what is real and what is possible. Meanwhile, Venus joins forces with Saturn, helping us turn hopes into practical plans and giving structure to what we value most.

Mercury slows its pace in Cancer as it prepares for an upcoming retrograde, inviting reflection before the next chapter unfolds. And Mars changes signs as well, leaving steady, security-minded Taurus behind and leaping into curious, fast-moving Gemini, where flexibility, conversation, and movement take center stage. A pivotal week of shifting energies and important transitions awaits. Join me on The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore all the celestial details!

The following day, she connects with dreamy Neptune, inspiring imagination, romance, and vision.

Then the cosmic drama intensifies as the Moon joins Venus in Leo and together they oppose Pluto, creating sparks, passion, powerful emotions, and perhaps a few fireworks along the way.

Meanwhile, Chiron takes its first steps into steady, value-oriented Taurus, beginning a new chapter in our collective healing journey around self-worth, security, and what we truly value.

5/24/26: Power, Passion & a Sagittarius Full Moon

This week arrives with intensity woven through the skies. Mars in Taurus opens the story by locking into a powerful challenge with Pluto in Aquarius, stirring deep tensions around control, desire, power, and the need for change. What’s been simmering beneath the surface may suddenly demand attention, and the atmosphere feels charged with both confrontation and transformation.

Midweek, the energy deepens as the Moon enters mysterious Scorpio and immediately activates the Mars–Pluto dynamic, adding emotional intensity, intrigue, passion, and hidden undercurrents to an already potent cosmic landscape. This is not light energy — it’s revealing energy. The kind that exposes what’s been buried and asks us to face it honestly.

At the same time, Venus in Cancer forms a challenging connection to Saturn in Aries, bringing greater complexity to relationships, emotional needs, boundaries, and vulnerability. Matters of the heart may require maturity, patience, and deeper clarity about what truly feels safe, nourishing, and sustainable.

But by week’s end, the skies begin to open. A luminous Full Moon in Sagittarius rises like a torch in the darkness, reminding us that life is still meant to be lived, explored, celebrated, and experienced fully. After a week of emotional depth and intensity, this fiery Full Moon invites us to laugh, reconnect with possibility, and remember the bigger picture.

Gemini season arrives this week, and the energy shifts fast. As the Sun enters the sign of the twins, the skies come alive with movement, conversation, curiosity, and unexpected insight. Almost immediately, the Sun meets up with the great awakener Uranus, electrifying the atmosphere and bringing flashes of revelation, change, and possibility. Then the Sun opens a dialogue with mystical Neptune, blurring the line between imagination and reality and inviting us to dream far beyond the limits of the ordinary.

Meanwhile, Venus glides into nurturing Cancer, where she joins the Moon for a deeply feminine, heart-centered moment in the cosmos. Emotions soften, intuition strengthens, and the desire for comfort, connection, and genuine care rises to the surface. But Venus doesn’t stay quiet for long — her challenge to Neptune stirs artistic inspiration, romantic longing, and next-level creativity, asking us to trust what wants to emerge through feeling, beauty, and imagination.

And finally, Mars enters Taurus, becoming the only major planet in an earth sign and offering something deeply needed: grounding. Amid all the air, water, inspiration, and electricity, Mars in Taurus helps anchor the energy into the body, the senses, and the tangible world.

Mercury is especially active this week, weaving conversations and insights wherever it goes. First, it speaks sweetly with Jupiter, opening the door to hopeful thinking, meaningful dialogue, and a broader perspective. Then the messenger planet joins forces with the Sun, illuminating ideas, clarity, and truths ready to come into the light.

By the end of the week, Mercury greets a grounding and nurturing New Moon in Taurus, inviting us to plant fresh intentions rooted in stability, value, and self-worth. But the energy doesn’t stay still for long. Soon after, Mercury races into its home sign of Gemini—and suddenly the atmosphere comes alive. The Moon, Uranus, and Venus gather there as well, sparking movement, conversation, surprises, inspiration, and a touch of delightful chaos. The air itself seems electric.

Meanwhile, Mars joins with Chiron in Aries, asking us to look more deeply at the places where identity, courage, anger, and autonomy still carry old wounds. There is healing here—but also honesty. The kind that helps us reclaim parts of ourselves we may have abandoned along the way.
