Moon In Gemini

This is our Deep Dive into the Full Moon in Taurus, square Pluto in Aquarius.

October 23, the Sun in Scorpio conjuncts Venus retrograde in Scorpio. Mercury is already deep in Scorpio and stations retrograde the next morning, October 24. The Sun–North Node trine and Sun–Chiron opposition fall around October 21 depending on ephemeris/timezone.

Your Moon sign is one of the most intimate parts of the chart. The Sun may describe your identity and the Ascendant may describe how you enter the world. But, the Moon speaks to the part of you that reacts before you have time to explain yourself. It is your Instinct, your Memory, and What you Need.

October 16, Mars is in Leo trining Saturn retrograde in Aries. The October 15 Sun–Jupiter sextile and Pluto direct station

The New Moon in Libra perfects October 10 at 11:50 a.m. Eastern, and Venus retrograde squares Mars later that day. 

Mercury changes the language, Mercury-Mars sharpens it, Venus retrograde turns desire inward.

September 25 is the Sun in Libra opposite Neptune retrograde in Aries, The Sun trines Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on September 26, alongside the Full Moon in Aries, and Mars enters Leo on September 27.

The central theme is: What we are ready to repair must first be met honestly.

The New Moon in Virgo is exact on September 10, 2026, at 11:27 p.m. Eastern, at 18°26′ Virgo.

This week begins with Venus still in Libra. The relational field is trying to find balance and  A cleaner way of meeting one another. But by September 10th, the tone changes.

Venus enters her pre-retrograde shadow on August 31, 2026, at 22° Libra 52′, before stationing retrograde on October 3, 2026, at 8° Scorpio 29′/30′. That same day, Jupiter in Leo trines Saturn retrograde in Aries; on September 1, Mars in Cancer squares Saturn retrograde in Aries while Mercury in Virgo sextiles Mars

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces perfects on August 28, 2026, around 12:18 a.m. Eastern, with the Moon near 4°53′ Pisces opposite the Sun in Virgo.

Mercury enters Virgo and trines Chiron retrograde in Taurus on August 25, Mercury is cazimi the Sun in Virgo on August 27, and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces perfects early August 28, followed by Mercury and the Sun in Virgo squaring Uranus in Gemini. 

This week carries the aftercurrent of the eclipse. The week begins with fire that can find structure. And, the Sun leaves Leo for Virgo, asking us to take the fire and make it useful.

I treat the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo as a separate recorded episode and kept focused on Mars entering Cancer, Mercury’s Leo aspects, and the movement from emotional action into expressive confidence. Mars enters Cancer on August 11, Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Libra on August 13, and Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Leo on August 15

Astrological calendars place the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Leo around 20° Leo, with Saturn retrograde in Aries forming the stabilizing fire-sign support.

This week begins with Chiron stationing retrograde in Taurus. That means the week opens by turning us inward around worth, safety, the body, money, stability, and the places where we are still learning how to receive without flinching.

The First Harvest

This Full Moon arrives in direct opposition to Jupiter in Leo.

The July 27 and July 29 transits align with the late-July Leo activation: the Sun opposes Pluto, trines Neptune, sextiles Uranus, then conjoins Jupiter while Venus squares Mars.

The week centers on the major Jupiter in Leo activation of Neptune retrograde in Aries, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and Uranus in Gemini, followed by Mercury stationing direct in Cancer and Saturn stationing retrograde in Aries.

Embodied Action.

This is our Astrology of the Week for July 13th–July 19th ,

This week is not loud in the same way last week was, but it is consequential.

On June 29th, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer. And yes, this can bring the familiar Mercury retrograde themes, but that is not the deepest story here.
