The astrology this week brings a combination of vision, inspiration, enthusiasm, as well as practicality. There's a tension here that's asking us to bring our inspirations into reality. You may feel pulled in many directions, and a pressure to make something real. The astrology this week includes:Mercury square Neptune: Thinking with great imagination and creativity on what's truly possible when you set your mind to something grand. And also feeling totally lost at the same time. Neptune blurs the mind.Mercury square Saturn: Practical thoughts about what you want to create in this life. Mercury-Saturn is concerned with what's real, what works, what doesn't, and where you want to make changes. Mercury square Ceres: Thinking about what differentiates you from others, your family system, and your culture. The asteroid goddess Ceres is a symbol of rites of passage into adulthood (literally and emotionally). It shows a call to differentiate (to claim your own ideas and to follow your own unique calling).Venus square Pluto: Diving deep into relational dynamics. Venus-Pluto asks us to be ruthlessly real with ourselves. Pluto exposes the hidden, the unconscious. This often feels internally confronting but ultimately helps us feel more vibrant and whole when we can integrate unconscious material in a safe space. You may become aware of unconscious relationship patterns, especially when it comes to themes of power, control, autonomy, and anything hidden from your awareness. Venus opposite Vesta: Balancing the seemingly opposing qualities of being in relationship vs. connecting with your Self. The asteroid goddess Vesta is a symbol of inner vitality, home, hearth, the inner fire, and the spark that keeps us feeling safe, whole, and connected to something deeper inside. Venus Vesta helps us find “home” in relationship and may also show us ways that we want to adjust to feel more centered.Mars square Uranus: Liberation of your passion! Mars-Uranus tends to show where our anger, directness, frustration, boundaries, passion, physicality, and our literal or metaphorical “no” is released in a way that feels spontaneous, freeing, and unbounded. You may feel called to express yourself in new and unexpected ways. Physical activity, movement, and saying “no” are all great channels for this aspect.Full Moon in Sagittarius on Wednesday, June 11th at 12:44am PT at 20 degrees Sagittarius: Feeling expansive, optimistic, and growth-oriented. You may feel a culmination of energy or activities, especially around things that began in this lunar cycle (at the New Moon in late May 2025), in the last six months (at the New Moon in Sagittarius in November 2024), or in the last year (at the last Full Moon in Sagittarius in May 2024). You are always growing, shifting, and transforming over long term and short term cycles. This week is a time of blooming, blossoming, and moving more fully into your potential, within many cycles.Jupiter moves into Cancer on Monday, June 9th at 2:02pm PT: The function of expansion, growth, optimism, support from others, and philosophical or big-picture thinking shifts into a new energy that's feeling-based, intuitive, and initiatory. This marks the beginning of a new journey in how you grow, learn, and gain wider perspectives. Jupiter square Saturn: Taking a grand vision and making it real. Jupiter is the broader perspective and enthusiasm while Saturn is the long term and practical planning function. Together, they invoke a desire to create something grand. How can you hold space for the big picture as well as the many steps ahead?Reflection Questions:1. How can you hold space for the full potential as well as the reality of a situation?2. What is your heart saying right now?3. How are you being called to expand, grow, and individuate?...Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

The astrology this week brings some trickster energy with Mercury making several aspects and changing signs. There are several themes around shifts in perspective that seem like a natural unfolding following the New Moon in Gemini last week. This week elaborates on the last and simultaneously shows themes of expansion, as well as stabilizing and rooting into what's next. The astrology this week includes:First Quarter Moon in Virgo: on Monday, June 2 at 8:41pm PT, this is an opening square aspect of the Moon and Sun, signaling a time of coming up against conflicting ideas or areas of focus. The Sun in Gemini and Moon in Virgo are both ruled by the trickster planet Mercury. You're being called to be flexible, to shift your focus, and use discernment.Venus in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini: A spark of creative joy is available to you when you pay attention.Venus moves into Taurus: on Thursday, June 5 at 9:42pm PT. Venus will be in Taurus for about a month, until July 4th. Venus in Taurus is a time of rooting into what you love, strengthening your values, finding pleasure, and seeking a greater sense of meaning in your joy. Venus' movement into Taurus also initiates its square to Pluto, which brings intensity and depth to matters of love, relationships, beauty, and social activities. Venus-Pluto calls us to reach for deeper intimacy in our relationships, and in ourselves.Mercury in Gemini sextile Mars in Leo + sextile Chiron in Aries: There is trickster energy here as well! You may be called to seek out new information that is healing or helps you find peace around a challenging situation.Mercury in Gemini conjunct Jupiter in Gemini: Expanding your awareness, lots of ideas, and exploring new things. You may find yourself having many big visions for the future. These ideas may arise from within you, from dreams, or via suggestions from others. Allow your mind to flow, capture as much as you can, and know that you can sort through things over the coming year (because this aspect is like an annual “new moon” phase for Mercury and Jupiter).Mercury moves into Cancer: on Sunday, June 8 at 3:58pm PT. Mercury will be in Cancer for about 3 weeks, until June 27th. Because Cancer is a cardinal sign and because Mercury just made a conjunction to Jupiter, this marks a point of initiating new ideas, a new perspective, and new ways of thinking. And, these ideas and perspectives are informed by feeling and intuition. There's also a slow, steady, and determined pace (because Mercury is also now making a square to Saturn).Mars in Leo opposite Pallas in Aquarius: Feeling passionate and called to action! This is a very dynamic-feeling transit and could be channeled toward crafty or creative activities, physical movement, advocacy work, being direct and strategic about a boundary, or embracing your anger and agitation in any way that feels right for you! This aspect is all about advocation, protection, and moving your energy either physically or energetically.Reflection Questions:1.   What big ideas are on your mind now, what else wants to emerge thruyou?2.   What feelings are coming forward in relational dynamics? 3.   What is important to you now and how can you advocate for it?...Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

Edit: This weekly astrology is actually for May 26th - June 1st. I said the wrong dates in the intro, my apologies for the confusion! :)The astrology this week brings a new beginning and a burst of ideas, communication, and overall the potential for many shifts in your perspective. These shifts may begin small and continue to grow and multiply over time. There's also a strong tone around healing via advocacy or by embracing your anger, boundaries, or passions.

Connecting with others based on shared values and common goals.Reflection Questions:1. What are you contemplating? What is on your mind?2. What is emerging from you at this time?3. How can you keep an open and curious perspective? ...Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

The astrology this week has a gravity to it. Saturn moves into Aries to mark a new chapter of life around our experience of time, limits, and responsibilities, as well as our experience of devotion, determination, and confidence. Saturn reminds us to focus on what's important because our time and energy are some of our most precious and limited resources. In addition, there are many aspects this week that invoke a movement toward being open to new ways of thinking. This astrology this week includes:Saturn moves into Aries on Sat 5/24: This marks the ending and beginning of a new 3 year phase. Saturn relates to your devotion, diligence, and responsibilities. With Saturn leaving Pisces and entering Aries, we have opportunities to close out one phase and begin fresh with another. This means taking the gifts and wisdom you've gained over the last 3 years, and letting go of what once served you but no longer does.Last Qtr Moon in Aquarius on Tues 5/20 at 4:59am: Releasing stuck-ness, moving thru resistance, finding your path forward.Sun in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces: Finding support thru effort and willful determination.Mercury conjunct Uranus in Taurus: Awakening of new ideas, concepts, or information that may feel revelatory.

Be open to explore.Mercury in Taurus opposite Juno + square Pallas: You may feel a tension between being true to your own ideas and values vs. what you “should” do, especially in being responsible to other people and what they expect of you in a particular role. This tension may be softened by first considering what you need in order to show up for this role or in order to be present for others.Sun moves into Gemini on Tues 5/20: Happy Birthday to my Gemini people! This marks our consciousness shifting to a more fluid and multifaceted way of experiencing the world (Gemini). This also may mean an increase in things like sharing ideas with others, more movement, and openness to frequent change.Sun in Gemini sextile Neptune + trine Pluto: Unconscious material (Neptune + Pluto) may move into consciousness (the Sun). These are soft aspects so you may simply notice subtle intuitions calling for your attention. These can be ignored, but if you notice them and pay attention, you may be called toward something that speaks to you deeply.Mercury moves into Gemini on Sunday 5/25: Thought process and communications become more fluid and open. You may be more open to transitions and new ideas. Mercury in Gemini also makes a sextile to Saturn which adds a layer of keeping a practical mindset.Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo: Passionate, creative, and loving energy. This aspect inspires a sense of craving connection, being drawn toward others, and maybe also a playful sense of competition.

This aspect shows a time where there's a potential for healing around our experience of a separation, grief, or loss – especially in dynamics that involve the maternal line or maternal type figures.Reflection Questions:1. What is ending and how can you honor this process?2. How are you being called to think about something differently?3. What challenges have you endured from March 2023 to now?

Neptune often helps us see our idealizations first by experiencing them unconsciously (i.e. being “in it” first). Over time we get to see people and situations as they are (rather than how we want them to be). There's beauty in the ideal as well as the reality when we hold it softly.- First Quarter Moon in Leo on Sun 5/4 at 6:52am PT: This point in the lunar cycle marks a crossroads for decisions.

Pluto (along with the other outer planets) is retrograde about half the year. It's retrograde means that over the summer and fall, Pluto will slowly and slightly shift back a few degrees in the zodiac to about 0 degrees Aquarius. This symbolizes a concentration of Pluto in this place, meaning that any transits to Pluto will be more concrete, slow, steady, and take time to integrate.- Sun-Uranus in Taurus opposite Vesta-Juno in Scorpio: Bringing light, liberation, and awakening to the things that you are devoted to.Reflection Questions: 1.   What is your heart telling you now?  2.   How do you tend to idealize people or situations? 3.   How can you embody both strength and flexibility?Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety
