July 5 - 11: CLEAR THE PATH The main themes in this week center around retrograde Mercury moving back into Gemini on Tuesday and the final pulse of partial Kala Amrita Yoga. With the Moon in waning phase, it could feel difficult to stride forward this week due to a combination of legacy delays that line up to slow progress.  The week opens with the Moon in Aquarius, reminding us that despite small...

July features the gradual transition from pressure toward possibility. Exalted Jupiter continues strengthening growth, optimism, and emotional resilience while Mars reminds us that meaningful progress comes through patience and steady effort. Mercury retrograde slows communication and planning, making this an excellent month for editing, refining, and revisiting unfinished business rather than for...

June 28 - July 4: COST OF FREEDOM Since our last update, Mars has moved into Taurus and Mercury has joined Venus and Jupiter in Cancer, setting the stage for the weeks to come. With the emphasis on the Moon’s sign of Cancer and Mars grounding in Taurus, we may see our focus collectively shift toward home base, with themes of housing, food, and safety coming to the front.  Having bridged into Cance...

June 14 - 20: Create Peace This week begins with a new Moon at the very last degree of Taurus late in the day of Sunday, June 14th. Just after the Moon and Sun conjoin, both spill over into the sign of Gemini, where they join Mercury. The Sun and Mercury remain active and alert in Gemini through the week, giving the energy to move, travel, and organize new educational opportunities or business tra...

Fated Encounters We follow the waning Moon into the gamut this week, as it will enter into the occupied zone of the zodiac after a couple of weeks of moving through the empty signs.  Sun-Mon: Moon with Rahu in Aquarius Tues-Wed: Moon with Saturn in Pisces Thurs-Fri: Moon with Mars in Aries Sat: Moon joins Sun in Taurus.  The new Moon will come at the last degree of Taurus on Sunday, June 14. The M...

Sunday May 31 begins with the full Moon in Scorpio, kicking off the week with a lunar pivot that turns us toward integration, refinement, and release. The Moon will be waning but still bright all week, starting out in debilitation, and giving us a sense of perspective and separation from the churning of the world as it navigates through the empty signs of the zodiac.  The Moon traverses the zodiac...

June 2026 marks a major turning point as Jupiter enters exaltation in Cancer, beginning to loosen the grip of six difficult years dominated by Saturn’s contraction and limitation. While the final pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga from June 8–18 continues themes of fate, pressure, and imbalance, the overall atmosphere gradually shifts toward growth, connection, creativity, and renewed optimism. Venus joini...

Momentum with Perspective We follow the Moon past Ketu on Sunday, May 24th, which breaks the state of Kala Amrita Yoga’s second pulse this Spring. This rare combination tends to bring us to the brink of fate, with the challenge being to surrender to the forces we find to be out of our control. The last time this combination manifested with Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo was in 1859! As the Moon...

This week carries the feeling of emerging from a long corridor of pressure into a space where momentum  begins to return. The Moon waxes after Saturday’s new Moon in Taurus while Venus, Mercury, and the Sun settle into their new signs following the major shifts of May 14. With Rahu in Aquarius, Saturn in Pisces, and Mars in Aries occupying adjacent signs, the atmosphere remains intense, but purpos...

The Aries energy ripens through the first half of the week, powering up the Mercury + Sun pairing that moves to Taurus on Thursday May 13, just after Venus vacates Taurus and moves to Gemini earlier that day.  This week is peppered with new shifts that click us into next chapters. Find stability in what is working as you release the unstable and defunct. The Moon is in its final waning stage this...

This week might look calm on the surface — but it’s not a week to check out. It’s a week to ride the calm out, while Mars and Saturn finish their work and Mercury flies close to the Sun. There’s pressure here, but it’s focused. Our work is to refine, clarify, and prepare  for what is  about to move. We begin with a bright but waning Moon traversing the currently lonely half of the zodiac, giving u...

May acts as a transitional bridge between unstable hesitation and emerging growth, marked by Jupiter’s final stretch in Gemini, multiple planetary sign shifts mid-month, and the pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga emphasizing fate over free will. The month begins with a complex and pressured Full Moon in Libra, requiring strategic balance, and evolves into a more active and opportunity-filled second half as...

BALANCE PRESENCE & PLANNING As Mercury gains strength and the Full Moon peaks, insight translates into movement and change. The main features of this week ahead through the vedic astrology lens are  the breaking of our first pulse of the dramatic Kala Amrita Yoga on Monday as the waxing Moon moves to Virgo, Mercury changing signs from Pisces to Aries on Wednesday, April 29th, and the full Moon...

This week has a very different tone — less raw pressure, more movement, negotiation, and karmic unfolding. There’s still intensity, but it’s smarter, more fluid, more consequential. The Moon waxes this week, with Sunday showing an exalted Sun alone in Aries after both Venus and Moon pass into Taurus on Saturday night. Venus will be in dignity in Taurus from April 19 - May 14, bringing stability to...

This week begins with Mercury freshly entered into the press of planets in Pisces, adding momentum to the pressure building as Mars moves in for conjunction with Saturn. The waning Moon starts the week in Capricorn and moves through the extremely active sector of the zodiac, finishing the week in Aries after the new Moon on April 17th, joining the Sun, who moves into its exaltation sign on April 1...

This week begins with a deeply debilitated and waning Moon, reflecting a sense of mental disconnect. The strong trio of planets in Pisces, the last zodiac sign, calls strongly for facing consequences and endings with a sense of needed finality. Saturn in Pisces is the slow moving pillar of this moment, reminding us that all things on earth come to an end, while at the same time, life continues to...

April 2026 opens with a sense of pressure and instability, as multiple planetary forces converge in Pisces, creating a complex environment that challenges clarity, confidence, and direction. The full Moon in Virgo highlights the need to reconcile practical reality with the process of release, while Mars, Mercury, and Saturn build toward a potent conjunction that tests strategy, patience, and emoti...

This week bridges March and April, starting with the waxing Moon pushing past Ketu, showing us that a combination of clever maneuvering and well placed force could open the closed gates. The Sun clears out of Saturn’s limiting influence, relieving some of the friction from last week. The full Moon in Virgo on Wednesday helps the week to  pivot, urging us to get our hands into our projects and move...

With a waxing Moon, retrogrades behind us, and the dynamic energy of Rahu and Mercury in Aquarius still rocking world affairs, we greet an active week ahead. Spring is in the air, inviting nature’s urge for new growth and business as usual, but with the foundation of human activity causing extreme instability. The approach of Sun to Saturn in the universal sign of Pisces, which invites divine conn...

This is the audio portion of my weekly forecast video. If you'd like to look at the charts as I speak, here is the link: https://youtu.be/ofjqDraZ8Es As we look ahead at this week, the Sun has moved to Pisces, joining Saturn and Venus. The waning Moon joins that Sun for the New Moon in Pisces on Wednesday. The Sun approaches Saturn for a conjunction which will cause a breaking point between e...

March 2026 is a month of exposure and recalibration. A Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo reveals vulnerabilities around power and self-expression at the beginnng of March, while Jupiter and Mercury both resume direct motion mid-month, restoring clarity and forward movement. As the Sun enters Pisces and meets Saturn, accountability deepens and illusions dissolve. The turbulence of early March gradually gi...

February 2026 is a turning point month, marked by eclipse energy, retrogrades, and rare planetary unions. With a growing concentration of planets in Aquarius around Rahu, collective momentum builds rapidly, while the Saturn+Neptune conjunction in Pisces exposes the karmic cost of long-standing illusions. The Full Moon in Cancer asks for care and humanity, while the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius disrup...
