Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:

As predicted, summer 2026 is a hot one. Record high temperatures tragically resulting in many dying from the heat is a literal testament, while the FIFA World Cup culminating on July 19 is more figurative. Tornadoes occurring in places where they rarely ever occur, and the ongoing war in Iran, are some of the more serious, literal dire dramas at play. These remind us that the game of life on Earth has a brutal aspect, doling out a steady stream of tragedies that will not cease.

Regarding larger current events, a rare alignment of far planets, including Jupiter in Leo, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius, each at about 4 degrees of their respective signs, is a highlight feature of Summer 2026 and is especially active from July 20 to 24.

This configuration is getting some astrologers very excited, some even asserting that it constitutes a literal ‘reset of humanity’. Such sensational assertions do arise occasionally, yet the broader foundations, such as the timing of the Astrological Ages, tell the real story, and these events, rare and impressive as they are, should not be deemed the ’cause’ – but features of larger realities and evolutionary processes.

As well, it is the conjunctions of the planets involved in these alignments that reveal the deeper story. Trying to decipher the meaning of planetary alignments without determining the dates and date processes (due to both planets undergoing retrogrades), thus sometimes amounting to at least 3 conjunction events, and then investigating the deeper themes of these conjunctions reveals a lack of understanding of the core principles of Astrology.

Ironically, many so-called experts talking about this event are not bringing attention to these conjunctions and the anchor themes they represent, nor the bigger contextual background of astrological ages. So, the following brief outline will help to clarify the confusion.

In terms of Neptune and Pluto, their most recent conjunction occurred in 1892. Its core themes include the summons of heroism and heroes to serve and protect the welfare and dignity of humanity.

The challenge includes the likelihood that there will be disagreements about how to best achieve the higher objectives required, and this could be the source of conflict. Then, the larger collective will have to decide, possibly via edgy debates and even battles, what constitutes the genuine and integral leadership required.

In this regard, the outer manifestation is likely to indeed prove to manifest as significant trends, momentums, and events as the revolutions of evolution moving through narrow channels are indeed manifesting as rapids and turbulent currents. That the foundations of many of these are already underway, as with the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, should also be understood, especially in Iran.

The war in Iran synchronized with the recent, historic conjunction of Saturn and Neptune on February 20, 2026. The role of Uranus in this complex configuration, popularly referred to as a ‘basket,’ stems back to 1965 when the ongoing gender revolution was sparked by its conjunction with Pluto in Virgo.

The recent conjunction of Uranus and Neptune reaches back to 1993 and coincides with the internet becoming a public domain. Clearly, the world has never been the same since, and this event can be understood as foundational to the emergence of AI and robotics…

Jupiter’s conjunction with Pluto reaches back to 2020 when they met in Capricorn and was a lead-up event to the historic conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 0 Aquarius on Winter Solstice 2020. That conjunction can be traced to the process of a steady rise in global inflation, which can be expected to continue for another several years yet.

Beyond this potent window of these far planets forming grinding contacts with each other, as it were, the Sun, newly in Leo as of July 22, will also make aspects to each, activating their destined roles at this time.

First, the Sun will form an aggressive square to slow-moving and thus potent Chiron on July 23 (the day Mercury goes direct), amounting to repercussions that will be felt close to home for us all, perhaps associated with more economic shifts with international, or even global implications.

Outwardly, the reality of the war in Iran and the ongoing troubles in the Middle East contribute to higher oil costs, the consequences of which invariably affect every aspect of the economies of every country in the world.

Although hovering at the first degree of Taurus, Chiron is newly in the sign of the bull as of June 19, (if for just a brief time since due to turning retrograde on August 3), then re-enters Aries on September 17. Chiron will then only re-enter Taurus in mid-April 2027. During its approximate 7-year transit, Chiron in Taurus will synchronize as what can be described as an operation on the realities of personal wealth.

This could well manifest the steady rise of digital currencies, I.D.’s, and perhaps even a global, basic ‘allowance’. The implication of this speculation is that there is an emerging global village principle underway that, around its core, is economics.

Then, on July 27, the Sun will form exact aspects to Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, a perspective that will be more fully examined next week, along with the Lunar North Node entering Aquarius on July 26 – the day of the New Year in Mayan Cosmology. The spotlight will be directed to these themes next week.

For now, the following offers some insight regarding the influence of the far planets in their respective signs, all of which are deemed ‘male’ or Yang, assertive signs, the influence of which will remain for many years, but will prove especially strong with Jupiter in Leo for the next 12+ months!

Transformational Pluto in revolutionary, future-oriented, and high-tech Aquarius began in 2023, and the transit will continue until 2043! It certainly is playing a major contributing role associated with the relatively sudden rise, at least for the greater collective, of AI and includes the now highly rationalized emergence of data centers…

Adding to this, Uranus, after its 7+ year tour of Taurus since 2018, (where it tends to manifest like a bulldozer pushing through large obstacles, and which can be attributed to laying the foundation of this AI acceleration), entered curious, communicative Gemini on April 25, where it will transit for the next 7 years.

Together with Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini (both Air Element signs symbolically associated with communications), the transits will certainly synchronize with the digital world rising to new ever-higher levels encompassing every aspect of our daily lives and on a global scale.

Neptune and Saturn in pioneering, trail-blazing, and assertive Aries as of late January and mid-February 2026 are most certainly playing major roles as well. Again, especially associated with the recent Saturn/Neptune at 0 Aries on February 20, (the precise event of which has not occurred literally for 6,387 years), the entire world is undergoing a major reset, which should be best understood as a process. The war in Iran presents a, if not THE most obvious outer expression since the implications of it are closely associated with the global balance of power. Of course, the rise of AI cannot be underestimated.

Jupiter in dramatic Leo as of June 29, (the very day after Mars entered Gemini and Mercury turned Rx), is a major contributor to the dramatic heat of summer 2026, and its influence extends all the way through late July 2027! We should expect it to embolden key players on the world scene, both in public view and those hidden and nefarious networks of power as well.

All the while Mercury enters its completion stage of its 2nd Retrograde cycle of the year, thus ‘stationary’ or at a veritable standstill while in Cancer, one of its most challenging sign positions when retrograde. Have you been feeling it?

Mercury turns Direct again on July 23, the day the Sun forms a hard Square (90 degrees) to Chiron, newly in Taurus.

So, fasten your seatbelts, this week the overall dynamic is about to achieve an accelerated pace, and the ride could prove even bumpier yet.

How are these dynamic aspects impacting you? Learn how an Astrology Reading can help guide your path.

Have a great week!

Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:

The late waning Moon will add to the downward pull of Mercury retrograde in Cancer for the better part of this week. The New Moon occurs on July 14, and it will host Mercury Retrograde, so its influence will have an echoing effect at least for the duration of this lunation cycle, until the next New Moon in Leo on August 12. As well, it can take a day or two to break free from its submersive grip, so while not entirely negative factors, they could feel like they have more of an autumnal feeling than that of the playful summer.

But don’t count summer out yet. In the larger background, Jupiter newly in Leo is advancing to complete a powerful alignment pattern including Uranus, Neptune and Pluto when it achieves 4 Leo, along with these three other far planets also at that degree. The destined peak of this charge will begin on July 19, which happens to be the day of the final match of the FIFA World Cup.

The peak point of this rare alignment can be expected to last for several days, and the follow-up to it is the Sun entering Leo on July 22. It will provide an added boost supporting the energy pattern to also linger, which will prove especially strong through to the Full Moon on July 29. Then it too will continue like aftershocks following a major quake. Hopefully, this will prove figurative and not literal. Also, how any planet alignment manifests is relative to the many fronts of reality, each hosting its own destiny and karma.

All such influences are relative due to their subjective experience. The generic influence is there to be observed, if one has the knowledge to do so, yet how any given ‘person’ (which in the whole sense extends to entire nations, states, provinces, cities, and any other legal entity referred to as a ‘person under the law’) experiences any given ‘influence’ is relative to their overall reality. The word ‘influence’ is highlighted because Astrology is not based on physics and the planets do not influence energetically but rather archetypally, the understanding of which is rare and is too much to explain in the detailed sense at this time.

Suffice to say that planetary positions and alignments ‘reveal’ archetypal principles, which in the deeper sense also indicate that we live in a conscious, intelligent, intentional universe that is founded on metaphysical principles and universal laws that transcend purely materialistic perspectives. Again, this understanding generally requires considerable background knowledge, which the average person has not been exposed to. If you are interested in learning more, begin by studying Holism and its associated root perspective on existence, referred to as Monism, both of which refer to the ultimate oneness of existence, or the protracted subjectivity of it.

The following section will provide an example of this understanding in context to current cycles and further examples associated with human psychology and the human condition.

So, referring to any given planetary position or alignment, otherwise referred to as a ‘generic influence,’ implies that the outer effect(s) are never purely objective. Ironically, or paradoxically, in terms of the ultimate oneness of existence, notions of objectivity in any absolute sense can be correctly categorized as relative illusions. In other words, notions of objectivity can be described as the illusion we share.

This perspective presents a good example of themes associated with Mercury Retrograde in Cancer. Briefly, when Mercury is retrograde, it tends to reverse the logical flow of perception, interpretation, and communication. Interestingly, it does so at quantum levels and beyond, based on the evidence that it is not just the communication between people, but between atoms, as with the breakdown of mechanical processes observed to often occur when Mercury is retrograde.

When in Cancer, which can be correctly understood as the most subjective sign of the entire Zodiac, the sign of roots, ancestry, origins, mothers, and so on, Mercury takes on an even more submersive tendency due to the watery, emotional, subjective characteristic of Cancer.

So, while Mercury is generally associated with the observation of facts, this ability can be deemed warped by the emotional and subjective feelings driving thought processes associated with watery, subjective Cancer.

In the most positive sense, this ‘interference’ with the usual fact-orientation of Mercury produces a more empathetic perspective, otherwise described as emotional intelligence.

For example, imagine a bridge that is crossed daily by thousands. One might assert that there is the bridge as an objective reality, which is true. Yet, the experience of the bridge is invariably subjective. So, the subjective experience of apparently objective reality qualifies as a paradox. This is why different people assert facts with great certainty and conviction, while others offer different facts that even counter or contradict the so-called facts shared. Naturally, the consequences are confusion, frustration, debate, division, conflict and sometimes war.

If we take this understanding to the level of society or politics, or social politics, we are quickly reminded just how much people disagree both about what ‘the facts’ are and, more importantly, what the facts mean, and what their implications suggest. Accordingly, a primary principle of semantics, or the study of linguistic meaning, is that ‘there is no it’.

The principle that there is no “it” in semantics refers to the idea that meaning is not inherent in words or phrases used to describe things and events but is derived from their use in context and the relationships between them. Semantics focuses on how meanings are constructed and understood rather than assuming a fixed reference for terms. This is why the assertion that ‘it is all relative’ is true. There is ever many angles of perspective associated with any aspect of existence or event.

Since facts without meaning can be understood to lack purpose or value, separating them from our experiences, interests, and concerns in life renders them inert, as it were. Since life is all about relationships, which paradoxically includes the relationship we each experience with our own subjectivity, our own body, mind, heart and soul, and experiences divorced from relationships also emerge as inert, we are brought back to our subjectivity.

Not surprisingly, the first principle of Neuroscience is that ‘all perception is subjective’, or it emphasizes that perception depends on neural processes and is influenced by individual awareness and context. Notice how neuroscience evolved out of semantics?

Sharing with others produces bonds of friendship and love, but at the end of the day, we each experience life individually. What this altogether amounts to is the fact that what you or I or anyone else deem to be ‘final facts’ is more fully a matter of opinion, reinforced not only by bias and belief, but by social conditioning.

The main source of this conditioning in our modern technological world is the media. Do you suppose that those who determine what is shared in the media know this? Of course they do. In other words, much of what we assume to think we think independently, are not even our own thoughts, but those ‘conditioned’ by the sources of information to which we each expose ourselves.

It is even true that while most people are able to process information, this is not to say they are able to actually think. Beliefs, assumptions, and information gathered from external sources comprise their notion of knowledge and what is factual and true.

The average person engages in both thinking and sharing learned information, but critical thinking involves actively analyzing and evaluating what one learns rather than simply repeating it. Critical thinking requires questioning assumptions, assessing evidence, and considering multiple perspectives before forming judgments.

What this generally amounts to is that most people are not really aware of what is factual and true, and perhaps not even interested, but rather in what equates to feeling secure. Feeling secure is technically an instinctual response, associated with the fight or flight of survival. In short, public opinion is molded by those invested in the distribution of information for the sake of their own advantage, which generally equates to wealth, power and control of others and situations, which is itself a protracted instinctual response.

A book written as long ago as 1988, with the title “Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media” by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, outlines the evidence that the mainstream media is more fully a vehicle for propaganda than it is for the distribution of genuine facts and information associated with concern for others.

Consequently, people assume great conviction about their views, especially associated with social politics, and are generally not only unwilling, but literally unable to think otherwise, because the thoughts that they assume to be facts were actually placed there strategically. In this regard, our unwitting, or non-critically analyzed exposure to media sources generally includes the presentation of these facts by assumed sincere and honest people.

Referring to such thinking as ‘conspiracy theory’ has been clearly outlined to be itself a ‘planted perception’ to prevent people from thinking critically. The common assumption is that “the news” is the expression of objective, integral journalism. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Thinking critically begins by asking deeper questions about why one assumes that their notion of fact and truth, and what its source is. Few people will actually do this due in part because the ability to do so is actually a skill that requires sincere effort and determination to develop. In the meantime, we will continue to live in a world governed more by beliefs and assumptions than critically determined facts and truths.

So, what do you think you know and why do you think you assume to know it? Incidentally, this extends to self-awareness as well. So, who and what do you think you are and why do you think you assume to know?

In its deepest reaches, Astrology can profoundly help us know who and what we are beyond casual notions. The ‘what’ question includes that we are souls incarnate. Who we are as embodied souls with ego-personality constructs and what this knowledge implies in terms of how we engage with and co-create our reality is also open for discussion, review, and perhaps, qualitative adjustment based on the deeper levels of awareness towards a deeper feeling that we are indeed living our best life!

While life can seem random and relatively chaotic with multiple unknowns, affirmation that you can intuitively align with and which reveals purpose, timing and possibility, and which guides a sense of self-actualization, can prove grounding and empowering indeed. Learn how an Astrology Reading can help.

Have a great week!

Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:

As July gets underway, Jupiter, newly in Leo since June 29/30 is in the spotlight. Its orbital periods are an average of 11.86 years, yet due to its slightly elliptical orbit, it can take as little as 11 months or as much as 13 to complete its transit through a sign. While in Leo, the duration is just shy of 13 months, and it will enter Virgo on July 26, 2027.

Jupiter is deemed a Fire Element planet and is, accordingly, the ruling planet for philosophical, metaphysical, truth and principle-oriented Fire Sign Sagittarius. It should be noted that psychologically speaking, Sagittarius is more fully symbolic of socially conditioned beliefs and self-honesty, beyond all other notions of what is deemed to be ‘the truth’.

When Jupiter transits through another Fire Element Sign, whether its own, or Aries or Leo, its expression tends to be amplified. So, through Leo, it will increase the general emphasis on what constitutes higher truths beyond beliefs and convictions.

With the Lunar South Node about to enter Leo later this month, where it will undergo its next 18-month cycle, there will be a counter pull to the otherwise natural desire associated with Leo to gain attention. It will have the effect of unravelling habitual patterns, attitudes, and assumptions or dogmas that are pushed onto others without deeper consideration of their genuine truth.

A transit of a planet through any sign has many sub-stages as well, since each Sign can be understood to contain the entire Zodiac within it. This is not common knowledge, but is a core feature of Holism, or the paradigm within which Astrology exists.

Holism is the paradigm of nature, actually. Modern physics, especially that of Quantum Physics, has come to this clear realization, and mathematics and biology especially, as with the way in which the expression of the natural world reveals rhythmic patterns at every scale. Chemistry too yet reveals this symmetrical principle and innate intelligence, as well as with the intricate way in which DNA is formed.

Yet other branches of science have yet to catch up and remain restricted by the mechanistic model associated with the materialistic paradigm, and continue to assert notions of chance and randomness as source causes of life. This intellectual rigidity is just another one of the many ways that fundamentalism becomes established in the minds of people in many areas of society.

In short, Holism reveals intelligence at the very essence of life, and it therefore extends itself to deeper considerations that even transcend science, converging with both philosophical and metaphysical perspectives. After all, when the evidence of life transcends the limitations of mechanistic materialism, we are left to endeavor to understand it from different perspectives, and this is where Holism comes to the fore. As the story goes, it is the most ancient paradigm.

While any planet transiting any sign hosts myriad levels of influence and, subsequently, interpretation, the emphasis of Jupiter in Leo does at least include the question of origins, in part because Leo in Astrology is ruled by the Sun itself. Interestingly, we actually ‘live in the Sun’, in its energy field which encompasses the entire ‘solar system’.

While there is much to say about this principle of Holism, we can bring the focus down to more basic levels for practical application, as with how its transit through Leo is generally destined to influence each Zodiac Sign, which correctly understood, represent the respective divisions of a circle, the symbol of spheres and cycles.

PS: The Zodiacal Constellations are the projection of the divided circle or cycle. The fact that there are multiple systems of Astrology each hosting ‘different Zodiacs’ is testimony to this fact, yet the literalism of popular notions that the centaur Sagittarius, for example, was ‘discovered’ along the plane of the ecliptic, as opposed to representing a projection of a mythological figure, offers an example of popular assumptions supported by wide-eyed credulity and then defended by rationalized logic and then broadcasted on ‘tel-a-vision’ anchoring the conviction forevermore by susceptible viewers. As the world turns…

Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:

The events of this week are significant, and they can be understood as a major turning point. While there are always many cycles at play, both generic that affect us all, and personal destiny themes and associated timing as well, this week activates new chapters for everyone.

The main focus is Jupiter entering Leo. Jupiter’s cycle as a whole is 11.86 years, so it takes about a year for it to transit through any sign. Yet due to its elliptical orbit, it can remain in a sign for upwards of 13 months, and this happens to be the case when it is in Leo.

Jupiter can be deemed to be the most beautiful and majestic of all the planets in the solar system. Larger than all the planets, moons, asteroids, meteors, comets, dust and debris combined, Jupiter is big, very big. It is considered to have 115 moons, but there may be more! There is much to say about the astronomy of Jupiter, and it is worthy of closer investigation.

Astrologically, Jupiter is deemed a Fire Element planet, partially because it is the ruler of mythic Sagittarius, the sign of the centaur archer. Jupiter is symbolic of opportunity, increase, expansion, faith, risk, and a sense of adventure to boldly go beyond familiar territory. Like Mars and Aries, which are symbolic of pioneering initiative and bold assertion, Jupiter invites a grander sense of exploration into uncharted regions.

So both Mars and Jupiter, which are the two first ‘outer’ planets, have a vast asteroid belt between them, which is sometimes regarded as planets that did not form, or as a planet that was destroyed, presumably by a large meteor. There is much debate and little agreement about why there is an asteroid belt there, but it is noteworthy that while Mars and Jupiter are generally deemed male gender planets, the six main asteroids (Ceres, Juno, Pallas, Vesta, Astraea and Hygeia), which are spherical and well-formed) represent female gender themes.

The centaur archer is commonly associated with Chiron, mythically referred to as the ‘wounded healer’. In this regard, Chiron is the co-ruler of Sagittarius along with Jupiter. Chiron is deemed to be exalted in Virgo. Chiron refers to healing and repairs. Generally, Chiron’s influence, both Nataly and by transit, tends to manifest as wounds, illnesses and healing processes. Briefly, in the deepest sense, Chiron is regarded as a ‘transpersonal bridge’ and, associated with our Natal Charts, pointing to where we are ‘called’ to heal our own specific wounds by aspiring to heal others of the same challenges.

Chiron entered Taurus on June 20, 2026. Yet, due to turning retrograde on August 2, it will re-enter Aries on September 17, retreat back to 26 Aries 15 by January 7, 2027, and re-enter Taurus on April 14, 2027, when it will begin its full, uninterrupted transit through Taurus until May 5, 2034, when it enters Gemini. While more will be said about Chiron in Taurus, it should be noted that Taurus and Gemini are generally deemed challenging sign placements for Chiron.

So, Chiron entered Taurus on June 20, and for the next 3-months we will get a sneak preview of its major, destined influence. When Jupiter enters Leo on June 30, it will contribute to activating Chiron.

Meanwhile, Mars enters Gemini on June 28, where it will remain for about 6-weeks. That Mars will form a Conjunction to Uranus on July 3, and then Sextile to Neptune on July 4, then a Trine to Pluto on July 5, is also noteworthy and will be addressed next week.

All this major activity this week occurs in the context of the Full Moon light in Capricorn on June 29, the very day that Mercury turns retrograde in Cancer, which is among its most complex signs, while retrograde especially, altogether marks this week as a major ignition switch.

Stay tuned, keep breathing, and prepare yourself for a major new round of the revolutions of evolution for our times!

While life can seem random and relatively chaotic with multiple unknowns, affirmation that you can intuitively align with and which reveals purpose, timing and possibility, and which guides a sense of self-actualization, can prove grounding and empowering indeed. Learn how an Astrology Reading can help.

Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:

Happy Solstice! Under the waxing light of the Gemini New Moon on June 14, Summer Solstice and the longest days of the year are here. The subtle layers of this lunation cycle include Venus in Leo, Mercury and Jupiter in Cancer, and Mars in Taurus. This combination of factors generally indicates a creative time with an emphasis on home and family, and this trend will continue for several weeks.

Ironically, the very day summer officially begins, the minutes and hours of daylight will begin to decrease. Like the Moon when full, the very moment it is exact, it enters its waning phase. These subtle but real events affect our psychology because they are natural and large events, actually, despite their rhythmic pattern. What makes them large, beyond the immense celestial bodies involved, is that they constitute common denominators to our entire existence.

The ‘signs’ of this time of year naturally vary, due to the many geographical locations. The polarity point of this rhythmic event, which is not only always on time but is a feature of the very basis of our measure of time, includes the Winter Solstice in the southern hemisphere. Fitting the 365.25 – day year into a 360-degree circle was a challenge our ancient forebears had to solve. The decision was finally made to anchor into the seasonal round and the cycle of the Sun’s light over that of the Moon, because they are the context within which the Moon waxes and wanes. Ironically, this is difficult for some to accept, even to this day, due to convenience, and what can be ultimately understood as reductionistic notions of the time cycle associated with the Moon.

The Astrology of spring yielding to summer includes the Sun entering Cardinal Cancer, which is symbolic of new beginnings, with emphasis on home, family, roots, ancestry, security, nurturing, and nutrition, and so on….

In terms of psychology, Cancer can be understood as the most subjective sign of the Zodiac. On the positive side, this supports their ability to empathize. However, when the Sun is in a Sign, it is not so much an indication of ‘how’ we are, but of how we are destined to become. In other words, the Sun in our charts is symbolic of our destined purpose to experience, express, and become.

The fine print of this overall purpose must invariably be assessed on an individual basis, because every person is ultimately unique. Even the differences between identical twins born just minutes apart will be revealed by a precise casting of each chart. The fact that every person is a unique soul incarnate, and the fact that one twin is technically born before the other, are some of the psychological differences that reveal the differences between identical twins, but the Birth Chart can also reveal the differences with remarkable accuracy.

While life can seem random and relatively chaotic with multiple unknowns, affirmation that you can intuitively align with and which reveals purpose, timing, and possibility, and which guides a sense of self-actualization, can prove grounding and empowering indeed. Learn how an Astrology Reading can help you!

Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:

The New Moon in Gemini on June 14, leading up to Summer Solstice, is getting the headlines now. These events are not of the magnitude of far planet activity, yet they do qualify the rhythmic flow of the seasonal round. This natural, cyclic process is the very foundation of Astrology, the focus of which inspired the technologies designed to measure time, clocks, and calendars.

Of course, the first clocks were sundials, and the first calendars were the measure of the Moon’s cycle. In time, the Sun became the common denominator due to its association with the seasons, the context in which the Moon waxes and wanes, rhythmically and consistently.

The degree of the June 14th New Moon is 24 Gemini 02 in the Tropical Zodiac, the first Zodiac, or ‘wheel of life’ associated with the seasonal cycle. This degree conceals association with both Aquarius and Pisces, and their respective ruling planets, Uranus and Neptune.

As destiny has it, Uranus and Neptune are both in new signs as of recently, given their 7 and 13 or so-year cycles. With Uranus at 2 Gemini 48 and Neptune at 4 Aries 16, they are forming what is called an ‘applying upper sextile’. This ‘aspect’ is symbolically associated with Aquarius as well, the sign of future dreams, friends, social groups and networks, individuality within the context of association, affiliation, community…, and of social change, rebellion, and even revolution.

Aquarius is often regarded as a civil, refined, and friendly sign, yet it has a dark side as well. This darker feature of Aquarius is associated with sudden, radical change that can prove chaotic, at least, and utterly devastating, at worst. Relatively sudden events like tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes are examples, but so too is any sudden, major shift or event, apparently random, or deliberate, as with any form of detonation, natural or deliberate, as with explosive acts of terrorism.

The mention of terrorism applies to Aquarius because, as the sign of rebellion and revolution, it is associated with rationalized attitudes and behaviours that, in their more extreme expression, assert notions that ‘the ends justify the means’. In this regard, any and all revolutionary activity is associated with Aquarius. When the internet went public in Spring 1993 is an example of such a revolutionary event. Of course, the event can be described as like a seed, which then undergoes an evolutionary process in accordance with the quality and destiny of that seed event.

In this case, Uranus applies to Neptune, which will be exact on July 15 at 4 degrees 24, or Aquarius and Aries respectively. This charged, but generally socially opportunistic aspect on July 15, will occur in the context of the New Moon in Cancer, which occurs on July 14.

The New Moon in Cancer is special because it is the sign that the Moon ‘rules’. Cancer is generally recognized as a ‘moody’ sign, associated with the fast-moving Moon, which is ever revealing a change in its appearance in terms of its phase based on its relationship with the Sun, the light of which it reflects.

This moody quality can also prove sudden, reactive, and even somewhat radical as well. The reactive quality of a Cancer Moon does not compare with the magnitude of major revolutionary shifts associated with Aquarius, yet when they are combined…, well many modes of alternative, moody, and sudden shifts can occur.

It is noteworthy that the FIFA World Cup begins on June 11, amidst all this, and ends on July 19. What is unique about the tournament this year is that for the first time, the locations of the matches will occur at various locations around the world as opposed to the traditional norm of it taking place in a single host country.

Returning to the current New Moon, this week’s Horoscope will shed light on its destined implications for each sign, in context to associated factors like Mercury in Cancer and Venus in the early degrees of Leo, the combination of which aligns well with the emotionally-driven and dramatic themes associated with the games, and to our other events in our daily lives for this specific window in time.

While life can seem random and relatively chaotic with multiple unknowns, affirmation that you can intuitively align with and which reveals purpose, timing and possibility, and which guides a sense of self-actualization, can prove grounding and empowering indeed. Learn how an Astrology Reading can help.
