Essential Astrocast

This week Venus meets Jupiter in Cancer, one of their favorite signs! Some people consider this the "best astrology of the year." I consider this a time to be aware of what seeds are being planted in the soil of your life. Notice the things that are engaging your attention and energy this week. Once Venus and Jupiter move into Leo in the coming days and weeks you may see a fire of passion lit in the parts of your life that this conjunction has amplified.

Mars has been out of bounds in Sagittarius and connecting with the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It’s been impacting our drive and motivation, leading to feelings of overwhelm and extremes in behavior. Luckily, this week Mars entered the sign of Capricorn where he is exalted, aka feeling himself. You might feel like you can finally get some traction with your to-do list. The Sun will also enter Capricorn on Sunday, marking the winter solstice, aka one of the two days of the year when the sun “stands still” and encourages us to pause. The winter solstice is the “longest night of the year” in the Northern Hemisphere encouraging you to turn your focus inward, pull away from the hustle and bustle, at least for a few moments and connect with spirit. The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives right before that, on Friday December 19. At 28 degrees the New Moon in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn and Neptune and inconjunct Uranus. It’s a waving green flag to finally make those changes you’ve been mulling over before the year is out. This New Moon is activating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction that will define 2026 and have impacts that will last 35 years!

Mercury is offically retrograde, but so are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. We’re in a season of reflection and recalibration. If we were only to march forward, we’d never develop an appreciation for how far we’ve come. Use these next few weeks to reconsider where you’ve been this year, even simply how you’ve grown and expanded since June (thanks Jupiter in Cancer). This is a time for finishing up old business and if there is something that you know you’ve got to release, but it’s just so dang hard to let go of… The New Moon at 28° Scorpio on November 20th will help.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo has arrived bringing eclipse season to a fever pitch. Current events are aligning quite literally with this moment in astrology. It’s helpful to remember that the planets are a mirror for the experience we’re having, and we dictate our fate down here on Earth. The themes of this eclipse include letting go of outdated routines, dropping old expectations and limiting beliefs, and allowing yourself to prioritize what aligns with your values. Solar eclipses obscure the light of Sun which is our life force, our identity, and our vitality. If you’re feeling a loss of confidence or extreme exhaustion, that is all par for the course. Give your body the rest and care it needs.And just so you know, you’ve already made it through some of the toughest astrology of the year. In case no one has told you - you’re doing a great job!

Eclipse season often brings the subconscious into our conscious view. If you’ve been having an intuitive hit that something has to change you might be making those changes over the next few weeks. The first of two eclipses arrive on Sunday when the Full Moon in Pisces occurs near the North Node of fate. The interplay between Virgo and Pisces archetypes has us surrendering the spreadsheets and going with the flow. Allow yourself to be open to adapting your rituals and routines so that you feel in alignment with your highest good.

Uranus has officially entered the chat! Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018, but on Monday the change-making, pot-stirring, rebel of the zodiac moved into Gemini where he will be until 2033. This is the last piece of a puzzle coming together that will have a profound generational impact. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are forming a harmonious minor grand trine known as the 'Magic Triangle' from now until June 2028. Everything may feel chaotic, but the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th helps us get clear on what changes need to be made and what boundaries and supports need to be fortified.
