STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family

This is the week Pisces eclipses end, and they are not leaving through the gift shop. Friday's full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces is the last one we'll have in this sign for many years, and it's going out in a direct square to Uranus, which is a bit like a houseguest who's been staying with you since 2023 announcing their departure by pulling the fire alarm on the way out.If you've been here a while, you know the Pisces corner of your life has been under construction for years. Saturn moved through and made you grow up there. Neptune finally left after nearly a decade of fog. Last year stacked a Venus retrograde and a Mercury retrograde on top of it all, and eclipses have been detonating in this same territory the whole time. Whatever delusions, romantic thinking, or too-dreamy assumptions you were running in this part of your life, they've been getting stripped out one by one. It has not been comfortable. It has, however, made you extremely hard to rattle here. Give me what you got. We were raised in this asylum.So yes, an eclipse squaring Uranus means all bets are off. Eclipses are unpredictable by nature; Uranus is the planet of the plot twist; putting them together means something changes this week, full stop. Life speeds up around eclipses, the landscape shifts in a matter of days, and you look up on the other side going, wait, when did all of that happen. That's the deal. You don't get a vote on the timing.Key moments of the week:Sunday, August 23: Sun in Virgo trine Chiron in Taurus (3:29PM)Tuesday, August 25: Mercury in Leo opposite North Node in Aquarius (2:57AM)Tuesday, August 25: Mercury enters Virgo (7:04AM)Tuesday, August 25: Mercury in Virgo trine Chiron in Taurus (2:56PM)Thursday, August 27: Sun conjoins Mercury in Virgo (1:03PM)Friday, August 28: Lunar eclipse in Pisces (12:14AM)Friday, August 28: Full Moon in Pisces (12:18AM)Friday, August 28: Mercury in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini (3:24AM)Friday, August 28: Sun in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini (6:18PM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

Jupiter is why everything is currently printing at 200%. It moved into Leo a few weeks ago and started inflating whatever it landed on, and this week the Sun catches all the way up and sits directly on top of it. That happens once every twelve years. So whichever part of your life has been doing the most lately: it's about to do more.Worth being clear about what Jupiter actually does, because it has a reputation as the nice one. It is nice. It's also just an amplifier, and amplifiers are famously indifferent to what's being played through them. Jupiter takes belief and makes it conviction. It takes a good idea and makes it a plan. It also takes a mild worry and makes it a whole evening, and takes your sense of your own importance and blows it up past the point where you can see the edges of it. The one thing you will not be issued this week is proportion. You have to bring that yourself.Key moments of the week:Sunday, July 26: Saturn stations retrograde in Aries (3:56PM)Monday, July 27: Sun in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius (2:54AM)Monday, July 27: Sun in Leo trine Neptune in Aries (3:36AM)Monday, July 27: Sun in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini (5:36PM)Wednesday, July 29: Venus in Virgo square Mars in Gemini (3:09AM)Wednesday, July 29: Sun conjoins Jupiter in Leo (8:17AM)Wednesday, July 29: Full Moon in Aquarius (10:35AM)Sunday, August 2: North Node in Pisces sextile Chiron in Taurus (8:03AM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
