Begin again. Softly. Gently. Powerfully. The Moon is not just a rock in the sky. She is the keeper of rhythms, the ancient pulse that pulls at the tides and the tears alike. The Moon has always been our guide. Long before we had clocks or calendars, She marked the rhythm of time. Her phases were the first way we learned to tell stories about beginnings, endings, and everything in between. She is change. She is memory. She is the light that moves through darkness and the darkness that holds the light. In astrology, The Moon represents the soul’s inner tides: our instincts, emotions, and the felt sense of life itself. She represents the body. She is memory and mood. She is the Inner Child and the Great Mother. She is the part of us that feels before it knows. That responds before it thinks. That remembers what the mind forgets. The Moon is a symbol of The Goddess Herself. The keeper of cycles, of birth, death, and rebirth. In the dark phase of the Moon, we enter the sacred void. This is the realm of Hekate, of Persephone, of the inner Mysteries. A place not of endings, but of unseen beginnings. And this is The New Moon. When the sky is dark and The Moon disappears from view, something ancient stirs in the stillness. It is not a time for action. It is a time for listening. For planting seeds in the fertile dark. To work with the Moon is to work with the soul. When we follow Her rhythm, we come into deeper harmony with ourselves, with nature, and with the greater unfolding of life. 🌚 What is the New Moon? The New Moon is the moment when the Sun and the Moon meet in the same sign. It marks the start of a new lunar cycle. The sky may be dark, but the potential is brimming. It’s not a time of outward activity or full clarity. It’s the still point. The mystery. The sacred void. This is the soil beneath the surface, the place where something new takes root. In this space, we don’t need answers. We need intention. The New Moon invites us to begin again with presence. What are you longing to feel? Who are you ready to become? What part of you is stirring, asking to be seen? 🌀 Why Follow the Moon? Because She mirrors our becoming. Because She teaches us to trust cycles. Because She reminds us: it’s okay to ebb. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to start small. When you follow the Moon, you begin to see your life not as a straight line but a spiral. Always unfolding. Always returning. Always growing deeper. ✨ A Simple New Moon Ritual You don’t need anything fancy, just your presence, a quiet moment, and the willingness to listen. But if you want to make it sacred, here’s a little something to try: 🌑 New Moon Ritual: Seed & Soil Create a sacred space.  Light a candle. Burn some herbs if you wish: mugwort , lavender , or sage . Or infuse your space with essential oils: rosemary is good to clear the mind, frankincense brings spiritual clarity. Let this feel like a moment set apart. Get still.  Close your eyes. Place your hand on your heart. Take a few deep breaths and drop into your body. Let the world go quiet. Reflect.  Ask yourself: What am I ready to release from the last cycle? What am I calling in now? How do I want to feel this month? Write down what comes. Be honest. Be bold. Be soft. Set your intentions.  Choose 1–3 simple intentions. Write them in the present tense, as if they’re already happening. “I receive love easily.” Let them come from the heart. Bury the seed.  You can fold the paper and place it under a stone, in your journal, or literally bury it in the soil. Trust that what’s planted in the dark will grow. 🌒 Then what? Watch The Moon grow. Let Her waxing light remind you to keep showing up for your intentions. Each phase has its magic. Each one is a step in the cycle. You don’t have to rush. The Moon doesn’t. 💗 Want to go deeper? I offer personal readings to help you align with the Moon’s journey in your own chart.

If you are new to astrology read this first. 🌿 Astroweather | 23–29 June 2025 As Within, So Without The week after the Solstice is always tender. A turning. A soft new start. Learn about the Solstice: Solstice: A Moment of Pause We’ve entered Cancer Season. The Sun has crossed into the waters of The Moon, and with Him, He brings a change in pace. The light starts its slow retreat. We begin to notice what’s been neglected. What needs tending. What calls for care. Read more about the opportunities of Cancer Season: The Sun in Cancer: June 20th to July 22nd And this week is dense with divine conversation. The Gods are busy. The air is thick with meaning. But this is not about knowing all the technicalities. It’s about noticing . What’s stirring in you? What’s showing up around you? Astrology teaches us that life is not random. The ancient Hermetic principle— as within, so without; as above, so below —reminds us that the movements of the heavens echo in our hearts, minds and our environment. And vice versa. When you start tracking the sky, you start tracking yourself. You learn to spot patterns. You catch the stories mid-sentence. You see how your experiences are happening for you. You become an active participant in your life, rather than just a character being dragged through the plot. This is the magic. This is the dialogue with The Gods. Let’s begin. Note: All the timings are for London (so British Summertime (BST) so adjust for your location. 🌞 Monday 23 June Sun square Saturn (Sunday evening) & Sun square Neptune (early morning) Moon in Gemini | Balsamic phase This moment is echoing the crossroads Jupiter faced last week ( remind yourself about the Jupiter Saturn Square here: Saturn & Jupiter: In Pursuit of Step by Step Progress ) . Now it’s the Sun—our core self—caught between Saturn’s weight and Neptune’s mist. The God of Structure says, prove it . The God of Mystery whispers, lose yourself . And somewhere in the middle, you’re trying to remember who you are—and where you were going. This isn’t a crisis. It’s a recalibration. Saturn wants truth. Neptune wants surrender. The Sun wants meaning. And you? You might just want clarity. Within: You may feel pulled in two directions—one part of you focused and ready to commit, another unsure whether the path you’ve chosen is real, right, or yours at all. There’s tension here between responsibility and longing. You might question your purpose. Or your progress. That’s okay. This is a moment to pause and ask: what matters most?  Not what looks impressive. Not what others expect. But what’s true, even when the lights dim. Even when it’s quiet. Without: People may seem vague, disconnected, or preoccupied. Plans might shift or feel uncertain. Some will double down on structure, others will drift. You may sense both happening in the same conversation. Be patient with delays and miscommunications today—they’re part of the atmosphere. But also watch for sudden clarity in the fog. This is a day for listening—not just to others, but to the deeper pulse within. ⭐ Let the questions breathe. You don’t need all the answers yet. “Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.” — Rainer Maria Rilke 🌞 Tuesday 24 June Sun–Jupiter Cazimi (afternoon) Moon in Gemini | Balsamic phase A New Light Dawns Today brings a special moment. The Sun meets Jupiter in what astrologers call a cazimi —an exact conjunction, where a planet sits in the heart of the Sun. Jupiter is lifted up. Purified. Illuminated. He dies and He is reborn. His message is renewed. This is the start of a new Jupiter–Sun cycle—a seed moment for growth, expansion, and wisdom. And it’s especially potent because Jupiter has only just entered Cancer, the sign where He’s exalted. He’s home here. He blesses what nourishes. What shelters. What brings us back to ourselves. Refresh yourself on Jupiter in Cancer here: A God On High: Jupiter in Cancer This cazimi carries a quiet knowing that things can begin again. That you’re allowed to want more—and that you don’t have to chase it. You can let it grow slowly, from the inside out. Within:  This will likely feel like a good day. A lucky day. With enthusiasm for life, overflowing zest and joy, goodwill and generosity. A birth of something hopeful, even if you can’t quite name it yet. What truth are you ready to live by? What’s ready to grow? You may feel more open-hearted, more willing to believe in yourself again. Let that warmth in. Without:  People may seem more generous, chatty, or inspired. A sense of what's right and true for all may prevail. It’s a good day for connection, planning, dreaming bigger. Something might fall into place—something that shows you you’re on the right track. 🌑 Wednesday 25 June New Moon in Cancer 11:31am Moon conjunct Jupiter, sextile Mars The Seed Beneath the Soil The Cancer New Moon arrives full of potential. This is the start of a cycle that wants to grow slowly, with care. It's not about chasing. It's about anchoring. Rooting into what you truly need. Read more about New Moon's and how we can embrace them to anchor into the moment and set intentions for the lunar cycle ahead here: New Moon Magic Within:  This is the real  new beginning. A Cancer New Moon infused with the optimism of Jupiter and the motivation of Mars. It’s not loud—it’s quiet and rooted. What new intention wants to take seed around home, safety, family, care? You might feel tender, but stronger for it. This is a beautiful moment to start a new rhythm. Without:  Look for signs of renewal—fresh starts in relationships, the clearing of a space, a new recipe, a kind gesture. The world may feel more alive with feeling. Watch for emotional waves—but also clarity in what you need next. 🌑 This New Moon in Cancer is a quiet mirror to the Cancer Full Moon we had back in January (10th). Think back to that time—what was illuminated? What needed care? What felt raw or tender or true? That Full Moon may have shown you where you were still carrying unmet needs… or where you were being called to soften and belong more fully to yourself. Now, six months on, this New Moon asks: 💭 What’s grown since then? 💭 What needs replanting with better soil? 💭 What kind of life are you nurturing beneath the surface? 🌞 Thursday 26 June Mercury sextile Uranus 09:30 BST Mercury enters Leo 20:09 BST Moon in Cancer Voice Rising The God of Communication meets the God of Surprise—and this time, they’re speaking sweetly. Mercury and Uranus form a sextile (of the nature of Venus), opening the door for flashes of insight, unexpected news, or sudden clarity. It’s the kind of energy where ideas drop in sideways—but make perfect sense. Later, Mercury moves into Leo, shifting our thoughts and words from soft, internal waters to something brighter. More expressive. More brave. This is the beginning of a new way of thinking—and speaking—with heart. Within: You might feel mentally sparked today. A solution arrives out of nowhere. A truth clicks into place. You’re beginning to see a bigger picture—and your part in it. There’s an inner nudge to share, to create, to let your voice be heard. Start small. The point is not perfection—it’s authenticity. Without: People may speak with more flair today—or blurt things out they didn’t plan to say. Conversations could take a surprising turn. A text or idea might land just when you need it. Uranus fosters authenticity—you may notice people being more willing to be their weird selves—loudly! Stay open. This is a good day to listen for the unexpected truth… and to let a new kind of courage find its words. 🌞 Friday 27 June (my sister's birthday 🎂) Mercury trine Saturn Moon in Leo (from 06:05 BST) The Words That Hold Weight Today brings a grounding influence. Mercury, God of Thought and Speech, forms a trine to Saturn, the God of Structure and Wisdom. This is a supportive aspect—solid, steady, clarifying. The kind of day where your words can land with meaning. Where what you say (or decide) has staying power. Within: You might find it easier to focus today. Thoughts feel more coherent. Emotions settle into something you can work with. This is a good time for making a plan, committing to a decision, or saying something that matters. There's an invitation to speak from your centre—not to impress, but to be real. Without: People may come across as more thoughtful or serious. Conversations might slow down, but they go deeper. It’s a great day for problem-solving, contracts, writing, or honest talks. Expect clear boundaries, quiet authority, and the kind of dialogue that builds trust—not noise. 🌞 Saturday 28 June Mercury trine Neptune and beginning to oppose Pluto Moon in Leo A Day Made of Mist and Music Between the Dream and the Depth Today Mercury trines Neptune whilst starting to face off with Pluto. It’s a complex meeting of mind, myth, and truth. The air is thick with story, memory, vision. Something is trying to be revealed. But you’ll need to stay present to hear it properly. Within:  This is complex. Mercury—the God of Thought—stands between the dream (Neptune) and the truth (Pluto). What are you telling yourself? What do you not  want to admit? Be curious about your own thinking. Are you seeing clearly—or through the fog of old fears? Without:  Themes of power, secrecy, or illusion may surface. People might project. Or confess. You might witness a moment where someone’s truth cracks through the surface. It’s not comfortable, but it’s real. Stay grounded in what feels true. Music, film, story—these might hit a little harder today. It’s easy to get swept up. Just make sure you stay anchored in your body. 🌞 Sunday 29 June Mercury opposes Pluto (exact) Moon in Virgo and joins Mars (enters 11:44 BST) The week ends on a note of truth. Mercury—the God of the Mind—stands across from Pluto, the God of the Underworld. This is a moment of revelation. A confrontation, perhaps. Words become powerful. Silence, too. Something hidden may rise to the surface now. And while it might feel intense, it’s also liberating. Because once truth is seen, it can’t be unseen. And that clears the way. Within:  This is the truth-telling. What did you uncover this week about yourself? Where do you need to speak with more honesty—or more care? It’s a potent day for clearing mental clutter, but also for naming what’s been festering under the surface. Without:  You might witness big reveals, power struggles, or conversations that shift dynamics. But there’s also space for repair, for getting to the heart of things. Pay attention to what people say between the lines. 🌌 In the Background Uranus at 29° Taurus This is huge. Uranus is in His final days in Taurus—a sign He’s shaken up since 2018. The ground is still rumbling. If you’re feeling the urge for change, the restlessness, the sense that something fundamental is ending—it is. Something new is coming. But this week, feel into what you’re ready to leave behind. 🌀 Closing Reflection There’s so much magic in noticing. The sky mirrors us—and we mirror it back. When we pay attention, we remember that we are part of something greater. And that even our smallest feelings are part of the bigger story. This week is a gateway. Let it speak to you. Let it show you who you’re becoming. And if you want help understanding what these transits are awakening in your  chart, come and book a reading. I’m available on Zoom and at Essential Therapies in Sidmouth on Thursday evenings and alternate Saturdays. You can book directly through my site. The Gods are talking. Are you listening? Rising Sign Forecasts 🌑 Cancer New Moon 25 June 2025 | 4° Cancer | 6:31am (UK) A New Moon is a monthly reset. But this one feels bigger. The Sun and Moon are both embracing Jupiter—God of blessings, vision, and growth. This is a new beginning soaked in potential. It’s happening in the sign of Cancer, where The Moon feels most at home. So this isn’t just any beginning—it’s one that asks: Where do you belong? Where are you safe? What do you need to feel held? Each of us will feel this New Moon differently, depending on which house Cancer rules in your chart. And that house tells you where  in your life the seeds want planting.

Make it sacred. ♓️ Pisces Rising Cancer in the 5th House – Joy, Creativity, Romance Forecast:  A spark is reigniting. A creative or romantic part of you is waking up again. Let it. It’s okay to want what you want. Reflection:  What brings me alive? What creative impulse have I pushed aside for being too frivolous—or too important? Ritual:  Do something just for the joy of it. Dance, paint, play. Let your inner child lead. Say yes. ✍️ Self Work | Journalling with the Gods Journalling isn’t about writing something beautiful or wise. It’s about meeting yourself . It's how we catch the threads of what we’re feeling before they drift off into distraction or disconnection. It’s a space to be honest, unfiltered, unhurried. This week, the astrology is rich.

Below is a journal prompt for each day of the week to help you stay in dialogue—with your inner world, with the sky, with the unfolding story of your life. 🌞 Monday 23 June Prompt:   Where am I feeling resistance or uncertainty?

Let yourself be witnessed by the page. Even if you don’t feel “spiritual” or think you’re doing it “right”—you’re showing up. You’re listening. And that’s the work. And finally, 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive — Week Four Making the Invisible Visible “As within, so without. As above, so below.” It’s a lovely phrase—but it’s more than that. It’s instruction. A quiet map. A way to live in right relationship with both the spirit and  the soil. We’re walking the long path toward the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in February 2026, where the dream meets the discipline. The boundary meets the bliss. The mystery gets a skeleton. The Snake is still winding Her way toward that point. She’s still whispering. This week, She asks: 🌿 What if you began to trust that what you sense inside you is real? Not just real in a spiritual sense. Real in the world. Real in your hands. Real enough to shape something around. We’re so used to dismissing what’s subtle. A fleeting feeling. A quiet longing. A nudge we can’t explain. But Neptune is strongest in whispers. And Saturn teaches us how to build slowly, faithfully, even when the vision is foggy. This is not the week to ignore the signs. It’s the week to write them down. Sketch them out. Make room for them in your day-to-day. 🌀 What small act could turn your intuition into structure? 🌀 What dream deserves a container, a date, a place on your calendar? 🌀 What inner feeling needs an outer gesture? This week’s invitation: Notice what you’re sensing—and give it shape. Let the energy move through you into something you can touch. A meal. A conversation. A notebook. A choice. That’s how we keep the Snake alive. By weaving what we feel into the fabric of the day. “The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.” — Rainer Maria Rilke “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” — Carl Jung And if you'd like some help getting to know where Saturn and Neptune sit in your chart, get in touch . 🦋 A request - if you've enjoyed reading this (or not) and found it helpful (or not) please can you let me know in the comments or send me a message using this form: I'd really appreciate any feedback so that I can work at making this weekly forecast as useful and interesting as possible!

For those new to astrology: This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when the astrology is loud. So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions of what you might notice in the outer world and how you might tap into it in your inner world. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts. As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical! For more on all this, read this post. You may also find the rising sign forecast helpful because this will narrow the range to where you're most likely to feel and notice the transits in your life. If you don't know your rising sign then fill in this contact form   and give me your birth date , place  and time  and I will send you a picture of your birth chart and an overview of your rising sign. If you'd like a comprehensive overview of your chart then book a reading with me  and I'll explain it all to you! A note on AI & my writing: I use ChatGPT as a writing assistant—not as a writer.

In the early hours of the 21st of June (London time), The Sun stands still. That’s what the word solstice  means: sol  (Sun), sistere  (to stand still). And that’s what this moment invites from us too. Stillness. Presence. A pause and an opportunity to stand still and feel into where we are, and to notice what’s changed. This is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The light is at its peak. And The Sun, God of life force and illumination, takes His throne at the gate of Cancer. There’s something sacred about this edge, this threshold moment where the outer light is fullest, and yet the turn inward begins. A hinge in the year. A tipping point in time. We think of summer as the season of bloom and celebration, and of course it is. But the solstice also carries a kind of hush. A holy silence. A chance to feel what is ripe in your life. And what’s ready to be harvested. It’s not just the start of summer, it’s the beginning of Cancer Season . And Cancer is not concerned with outward show. Cancer is the womb. The memory. The tide that returns you to yourself. This is a call to soften. To tend. To come home. You might feel more tender than usual right now. That’s not a weakness; it’s a sign the shell is cracking open. That something new is forming inside. Let it. Let this solstice remind you that your emotional world matters . That safety is sacred. That family, chosen or otherwise, is a form of holiness. That you don’t need to do more. You need to feel more. Astrologically, there’s a deeper current running underneath this year’s solstice too. Saturn and Neptune are squaring off in Aries, calling time on illusions, asking what’s real. And The Sun and Jupiter are now in Cancer together, The Great Benefic in the sign of care, longing to expand something rooted. Something true. This is a moment to check in with what you’re building. Does it have foundations strong enough to hold your soul? Are you honouring your need for nourishment as much as your need for growth? Let yourself be lit from the inside this season, not just by the outer Sun, but by the quiet warmth of home. Of love. Of knowing who you are. ✨ Solstice invitation : Light a candle. Sit in silence. Ask yourself: What is ready to grow in me now? What is ready to rest? ✨ Where is the Solstice calling you home? Here’s a place to restart—for every Rising Sign: ♈️ Aries Rising  – The 4th House : Come home to your roots. Reconnect to the place or people that hold your history. Your private life matters. Make space for it. ♉️ Taurus Rising  – The 3rd House : Rebuild how you speak to yourself. Reclaim your voice. The small daily things—your rhythms, your rituals—are where the magic is. ♊️ Gemini Rising  – The 2nd House : Your value is not up for debate. Let this be the season you root into enoughness. Grow self-worth that doesn’t need external proof. ♋️ Cancer Rising  – The 1st House : You are the beginning. This is your new year. Tend to your body, your energy, your sense of identity. Start again as you truly  are. ♌️ Leo Rising  – The 12th House : Rest. Dream. Let yourself be held by something larger. You don’t need to be “on” right now. This is a time for healing and retreat. ♍️ Virgo Rising  – The 11th House : You don’t have to do it all alone. Let yourself be supported by your community.

If you are new to astrology read this first. 🌿 Astroweather | 16–22 June 2025 Let it land in the body now. This week carries a quiet shift. Jupiter has entered Cancer. Mercury is here too. And now the Sun is on His way. The heat of spring starts to yield to something softer, something slower. The Gods are calling us inward. Not to hide but to come home. You may find yourself craving stillness. Or feeling like everything is suddenly too much. Both can be true. After a high-stakes start to the month, this week is a turning point. But transition can feel strange. Tender. Notice what’s ready to be received. What needs nurturing, not fixing. Rest. ✨ Transits & How to Recognise Them 🪞Monday 16 June 📍 No exact transits, but Jupiter square Saturn and Mars square Uranus are still very much active (from 15 June) Energy:  The aftermath. The echo. We’re still under the weight and stretch of Jupiter square Saturn : Expansion vs. Contraction Possibility vs. Limitation Optimism vs. Realism Vision vs. Structure The Yes vs. the No This has been amplified by The God of War in a tense conversation with God of Shock (Uranus). How to notice it: Within:  You may feel the tension between what you believe is possible and what feels realistic. Breathe. It’s okay not to have it all figured out. Without:  Delays, blocked plans, or reality checks might show up. Tech issues, scheduling conflicts, unexpected expenses, even in the small things these are Saturn's fingerprints reminding you to ground before you grow. On the macro this looks like control and oppression (Saturn) vs what is right, just and true (Jupiter). Conflict is inevitable. This conversation began in December 2020 and the extremes we all remember around vaccine mandates and lockdowns. Then, Their energy was fused. Now, it's more of a fight. Read more on this square and where this 20 year conversation began here: Saturn & Jupiter: In Pursuit of Step by Step Progress 🌿Tuesday 17 June – Mars enters Virgo Energy:  Precision over passion. Right action over reaction. How to notice it: Within:  You may feel a sudden urge to get your life in order—clean the house, make a list, get back on track. There’s energy here, but it wants to be used wisely. You might also notice more inner criticism—watch your tone with yourself. Without:  Look for moments of helpful correction: an edit, a diagnosis, a suggestion that stings but serves. You may encounter people who are more exacting, or find yourself suddenly frustrated with mess and inefficiency. Reminder:  Mars in Virgo says: Do it well. Do it with care. But don’t wait to be perfect to begin. 🌊 Wednesday 18 June  – Last Quarter Moon in Pisces  + Jupiter square Neptune Energy: A seismic shift. We’re moving past the storm of Jupiter square Saturn and stepping into a more spiritual—yet equally potent—dialogue with Jupiter square Neptune. It’s the difference between holding on and letting be. Between faith renewed  and spirit tested . Jupiter in Cancer is expansive . He’s huge, offering emotional nourishment, deepened empathy, the sense that all is possible . But Neptune might resist: What if this softens us too much? What if it’s illusion? This is the tension between hope and surrender. Between believing  and knowing . How to notice it: Within: You may feel a sense of inner tension between what you want to believe  and what life is showing you . Waves of longing. Disillusionment with the world. A flickering crisis of faith. Maybe you’re questioning everything—from the spiritual path you’re on to the stories you’ve built your life around. This is not failure. This is Neptune at work— peeling away the fantasy so the deeper truth can rise. And yet, there’s a fire here too. Neptune in Aries can bring a fired-up clarity , a righteous urge to defend what feels sacred. You may feel suddenly called to speak up, stand up, or call something out. But pause first. Feel it fully. Because Neptune is a slippery God—and not every cause that stirs your heart is what it seems. Ask:  Am I fighting for truth—or trying to make the world match my vision of how it should be? Without: Look around and you may see spiritual disillusionment playing out on the world stage. Exposés of corrupt leaders, splits in idealistic communities, fiery clashes between belief systems. People may seem emotionally reactive, fired up about causes—but without clear solutions. It’s a time of high drama, but also deep revelation . This transit can show up as: Activism rooted in compassion or  projection. Public takedowns of spiritual leaders or influencers. Movements turning against one another over vision, purity, or ideology. The danger? Mistaking your story for the truth. The gift? Clarity through compassion. Why it matters: This is the moment of spiritual integration . Do we collapse into cynicism—or wake up to sacred discernment? The world is pared back, not to nothingness, but to what actually matters . This conversation matters because it helps shape how we step forward. Jupiter is preparing to be reborn  through The Heart of The Sun on: Wednesday 25 June 2025. This is the point where the old Jupiter  dies and is reborn as the Jupiter who knows the depths of Cancer . Exalted, purified, and ready to serve as a beacon. It’s not this week—but this crucible on the 18th  is its precursor. 🌱 How to hold the week energetically Midweek (18 June): Be tender. Let the waves roll in. Ask: Is this what’s real—or worth reshaping?  Write it out. Cry it out. Contemplate: What inner vision is being clarified or dismantled? Leading into the cazimi (24–25 June): We prepare the ground. We grieve the shiny dreams that didn’t hold. We make space for true expansion . By the morning of 25 June, we step into a new version of trust—a Cancer-rooted faith that feels  more real because  it’s been tested. 🧠 Journal prompts 18 June:   What belief or spiritual hope is already losing its shine? What am I being asked to test or release? 25 June:   What part of me feels reborn today? What seed of soul-deep faith wants to be watered? This conversation is  bigger than personal growth—it’s collective. From the high-minded hopes of Jupiter–Saturn to the spiritual reckoning of Jupiter–Neptune, we are being called to choose depth over brightness.  And soon, that cazimi will baptise us into the truth  behind the expansion. 🌞Saturday 21 June (London early hours) – Sun enters Cancer The Solstice Energy:  The still point. The great turning. The longest day. And from here—we begin the return. In traditional astrology, this is one of the four sacred hinges of the year: the cardinal ingress  of the Sun into Cancer, ruled by the Moon. The moment the light reaches its peak  in the Northern Hemisphere. From here, slowly, the days begin to shorten. We don’t notice it at first. The fruit is still ripening, the gardens still swelling. But the shift has occurred. The Sun stands still. And then, He turns. This is the cosmic exhale . Not the end of light, but the beginning of its descent. 🜃 Archetypal Significance In Hellenistic astrology, Cancer is the place of the tropikos —the turning. The Sun, after rising and rising, now begins to fall. Cancer , ruled by the Moon, brings a change in tempo and tone. Where Aries sparked life into motion and Gemini scattered seeds of thought, Cancer gathers us inward. It is a sign of containment, protection, and nourishment. It brings the emphasis back to the inner world —the body, the memory, the soul. And so, in this archetypal shift: The Solar force —yang, active, visible—meets the Lunar matrix —yin, receptive, hidden. The Hero  comes home to the Mother . Action gives way to integration. 🌕 How to Notice It Within: You may feel sentimental. Tender. A little more tearful than usual. You might crave quiet, softness, food that feels like a hug. Memories surface. You remember who you used to be—and who’s held you. You might also feel emotional without a clear reason. That’s the Moon stirring. Ask:  Where do I need to be held? Where have I been trying to hold everything alone? Without: Children may be more reactive or needier. People retreat. Plans change. Everything softens. You might see people making home improvements, visiting family, or slowing down to connect with what matters. 🕯️ Marking the Solstice Stand in silence. Open the windows. Let the early light or softening dusk fall on your skin. Say a quiet thank you to the Sun—for rising, for warming, for growing. And then gently ask: What am I ready to turn toward now? What does the descent invite me to remember? This is not the end of the light. But it is a turning toward the deep . Toward nourishment. Memory. Home. Let the light you've been carrying gently settle in . 🌒 Energy of the Week This week begins with tension still in the air—but that’s not the whole story anymore. Something is shifting. The energy is softening, rounding its edges. This is a week of adjustment . Not because anything more dramatic is happening necessarily—but because everything has  just happened. We’re absorbing. Processing. Integrating. Let Mars in Virgo give your energy a container. Let Jupiter in Cancer remind you that your growth doesn’t have to be loud to be real. Let the Last Quarter Moon show you what can be released so something deeper can take root. 🌕 Journal Prompt What am I still striving for that could now be surrendered? Where am I trying to force clarity, when feeling it might be enough? 🕯️ Self-Reflection Ritual The Softening Run a warm bath or simply sit quietly with a cup of tea. Close your eyes and breathe into your belly. With each breath, say inwardly: I soften. I am safe. I let go. Let tears come if they want to. Let stillness rise if it can. Let yourself feel how far you’ve already come. This isn’t a week to chase the next thing. It’s a week to let your system catch up. To let the deeper truths of the journey settle in. Rising Sign Forecasts Here are your rising sign forecasts for the Jupiter–Neptune square  on 18 June 2025 , focused on how this tension may show up personally , depending on where it's landing in your chart. Each one highlights the house Jupiter is transiting (Cancer)  and the house where Saturn and Neptune are transiting together (Aries)  so you can recognise the two areas of life being activated. ♈️ Aries Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 4th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 1st House This square hits close to home. Quite literally. Jupiter is trying to grow your emotional security—roots, family, home. But Saturn and Neptune in your 1st are reshaping your identity . You may feel caught between who you used  to be and who you’re becoming. Old versions of you may no longer fit the home you’ve built—or vice versa. Are you still trying to live inside a story that no longer matches who you are? ♉️ Taurus Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 3rd House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 12th House Your mind is expanding fast—ideas, conversations, plans. But there’s a subtle undoing happening beneath it all. Saturn and Neptune are stirring your unconscious, dissolving certainty. You may feel confused about what’s “real” vs what’s imagined. You might be questioning the meaning behind what you’re learning or saying. What if the deeper answers aren’t logical—but intuitive? ♊️ Gemini Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 2nd House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 11th House You're trying to build security, financially and emotionally. But there’s a tension between your values and the people you surround yourself with. Maybe a dream you held for your future, or a cause you believed in, no longer resonates. Saturn and Neptune in your 11th ask: whose vision are you investing in? Is the community you're in aligned with what you truly value? ♋️ Cancer Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 1st House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 10th House This is a crisis of visibility. Jupiter is asking you to grow into your full self—confidence, self-trust, presence. But Saturn and Neptune are breaking down illusions about your career, reputation, or what success really means. The image you’ve projected may not reflect the truth anymore. Who are you becoming—and can your outer life reflect your inner knowing? ♌️ Leo Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 12th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 9th House Your spiritual world is expanding—but so are your questions. There’s a tension between your private beliefs and the larger systems or teachings you’ve subscribed to. Saturn and Neptune in the 9th may test your trust in gurus, institutions, or philosophies. Confusion can lead to deeper clarity—if you allow it. What teachings are ready to dissolve so a deeper truth can emerge? ♍️ Virgo Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 11th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 8th House This square activates your friendships, your dreams for the future, and your deep emotional entanglements. You may be expanding socially or envisioning new hopes—but Saturn and Neptune are challenging your boundaries in intimate or financial partnerships. Not all shared visions are sustainable. Who are you merging with—and at what cost? ♎️ Libra Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 10th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 7th House You may be stepping up in your public life—career, leadership, visibility. But your partnerships are in flux. Neptune may be blurring boundaries in love or business, while Saturn brings pressure to commit or redefine terms. The clash here is between personal ambition and relational reality. Are you trying to succeed while dragging a relationship that no longer supports you? ♏️ Scorpio Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 9th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 6th House Big questions about life’s meaning are opening for you. Jupiter wants you to learn, expand, travel. But your daily life may be dissolving. Saturn and Neptune in the 6th can bring health challenges, burnout, or a sense that your current routines no longer align with your vision. This is the soul’s invitation to redesign the structure. What needs to shift in your everyday life to make space for the truth you’re discovering? ♐️ Sagittarius Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 8th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 5th House You’re being invited to go deeper—into intimacy, vulnerability, shared resources, personal transformation. But the tension lies in your creative or romantic life. Saturn and Neptune are blurring the lines in love, children, or how you express yourself. What feels good may not feel stable. Are you holding onto a fantasy that’s blocking deeper trust? ♑️ Capricorn Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 7th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 4th House Relationships are a growth edge right now. Jupiter is expanding connection, but Saturn and Neptune are melting down your inner foundations. Your sense of home, safety, or family may feel uncertain—and that can show up in who you’re drawn to or repelled by. Be mindful of projecting unmet needs onto others. Are you expecting someone else to create the safety you haven’t yet found inside? ♒️ Aquarius Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 6th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 3rd House Your body, work, and wellbeing are front and centre. Jupiter is expanding your desire to care for yourself—but your thinking may be foggy. Saturn and Neptune in the 3rd house are restructuring your mindset. You might not trust your own thoughts right now—and that’s okay. It’s a season of mental reorientation. What if the mind needs space to dissolve before it can rebuild? ♓️ Pisces Rising Jupiter in Cancer | 5th House Saturn–Neptune in Aries | 2nd House You’re being asked to open your heart—to play, create, express, even fall in love. But Saturn and Neptune in your 2nd house bring questions around worth, money, and value. Are you afraid to express yourself fully because you doubt what you’re offering has value? It’s time to examine the root. Where are you outsourcing your sense of worth—and can you bring it home? And finally, 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive — Week Three Letting Go of What’s Already Gone We’re still in the early stretch of this long path toward the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries in February 2026. But the Snake is already shedding Her skin. This week, you might feel something leaving. Not in a loud or dramatic way. More like a slow unravelling. A soft disinterest in what once mattered. A quiet knowing that something’s over, even if no one said it out loud. Neptune dissolves. Saturn structures. And between them, a new world is being shaped by absence. 🌀 Can you stay present with what’s leaving—even if you don’t know what’s coming next? It takes courage to remain open in the void. To not fill the silence with noise. To let the old version of you slip away without trying to call it back. This week’s invitation: Notice what’s fading. Not to fix it. Not to stop it. But to honour it. To make space. Something beautiful is being made in the clearing. But first: we let go of what’s already gone.

For those new to astrology: This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when the astrology is loud. So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions of what you might notice in the outer world and how you might tap into it in your inner world. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts. As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical!

If you are new to astrology read this first. ✨ Week Ahead Forecast: The Wheel Turns ✨ Here’s your Astroweather for 9th–15th June 2025  — a big, bold week full of emotional truth, cosmic turning points, and some real invitations to grow up and open up. 🔮 Part I: The Individual Conversations ✴️ The Conversations Between the Gods (Chronological guide to the week’s big moments) 🕊 Monday 9 June – Jupiter Enters Cancer A major shift. Once every 12 years, Jupiter —God of vision, blessing, and growth—enters the lush, watery kingdom of Cancer . This is His exaltation . He is not just visiting—He is honoured here, resourced and radiant. Cancer is not just a sign. It is a sanctuary —a palace of emotional belonging . The hearth. The inner home. The place we are called to protect and tend with devotion. In this kingdom, Jupiter blesses what nourishes. He grows what is rooted in care, intimacy, and meaning. This is a quieter kind of growth—felt in the body, not just seen in the world. 🌿 Reflect:  What do I want to grow that will hold me—and hold others too? Read more about Jupiter in Cancer: A God On High: Jupiter in Cancer 🪨 Monday 9 June – Mercury Square Saturn As Jupiter arrives, Mercury —God of thought and language—clashes with Saturn , Lord of boundaries and discipline. It’s the first hard word of the week. Mercury wants to speak, but Saturn wants to be sure. This transit can bring delays, heaviness, or communication breakdowns. But it’s not punishment—it’s refinement. This is a moment to pause. To choose your words. To honour silence. To speak from truth, not reaction. ✒️ Reflect:  What needs to be said? And what needs to be listened to with more depth? And, Mercury Square Neptune After meeting with Saturn, Mercury , the messenger, forms a square with Neptune , God of dreams, illusions, and divine longing. This is the moment where what’s said may not be what’s meant—and what’s meant may be impossible to say. Confusion, miscommunication, half-truths, and strange intuitions may colour the day. Don’t rush to define or decide. Let the haze lift in its own time. This is a test of perception. It’s not about finding the answer. It’s about staying with the question—softly. 🌫 Reflect:  Where am I clinging to clarity instead of allowing mystery? And where might a quieter truth be whispering beneath the noise? 🖤 Monday 9 June – Venus Square Pluto On the same day, Venus —Goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure—enters the underworld through a square to Pluto , God of shadow and transformation. This is a confrontation with power in love. It may reveal fears you’ve buried or desires you’ve been hiding from—even from yourself. It’s intense. But it’s also purifying. Let this moment show you where your heart is still entangled in old stories. 💔 Reflect:  What am I trying to control instead of trust? Where do I need to surrender power to invite deeper love? 🌕 Wednesday 11 June – Full Moon in Sagittarius (20°39') Here comes the flare of clarity. The Full Moon in Sagittarius  brings truth to the surface. A belief, identity, or idea you’ve outgrown is ready to be released. Sagittarius wants freedom. But not to flee— to follow something meaningful . This Moon reveals where you’ve been living small, and what you’re ready to walk toward with more purpose. Let go of the old truth, and feel for the new one rising beneath it. 🔥 Reflect:  Where have I been clinging to an outdated belief about what’s possible? 💞 Thursday 12 June – Mercury Sextile Venus A healing moment after the sharpness earlier in the week. Mercury  (now a little wiser after His chat with Saturn) enters a soft conversation with Venus . The mind and heart reunite. Words come more gently. Understanding is possible. This is a moment to forgive. To connect. To find beauty again after truth has done its work. It may feel like a small moment. But it matters. This is how we begin to build from love, not just from fear. 🌸 Reflect:  What truth can I express with softness now? What connection can be mended with honesty? ⚔️ Sunday 15 June – Jupiter Square Saturn (1° Cancer–Aries) The main event. Jupiter, newly arrived in Cancer, full of hope and heart, meets Saturn in Aries—firm, focused, and unyielding. This is the first test of the dream . Jupiter says: "I want to grow something sacred. " Saturn replies: "Then you must build it. With discipline. With courage. With time." It may feel like doubt, like resistance, like the thrill of a vision being met with the weight of reality. But this square is not here to crush you. It’s here to anchor you . This is where you choose to begin for real . This is where you show The Gods that you mean it. 🧱 Reflect:  What am I willing to commit to, even if it’s hard? Read more about the Jupiter Saturn square: Saturn & Jupiter: In Pursuit of Step by Step Progress 🔥 Sunday 15 June – Mars Square Pluto As Jupiter squares Saturn , another cosmic confrontation ignites: Mars —God of action and desire—squares Pluto , the shadow-lord of death, power, and transformation. This is not a gentle nudge. It’s a primal surge. Anger, power struggles, inner pressure—it all rises. But this tension can also be a forge. Pluto says: “If you’re going to act, know why.” Mars says: “If you’re going to go deep, don’t hold back.” This energy can be volatile or constructive, depending on how honest you’re willing to be. 🔥 Reflect:  What am I fighting for? And is that fight coming from fear, or from truth? The King Returns, but the Palace Is Not Ready This is not a quiet week. This is a council of the Gods . It starts with Jupiter —the God of hope, vision, and expansion—stepping into His favourite Kingdom of Cancer  on Monday . He returns not just to dream, but to bless what we’re ready to tend with devotion: home, safety, care, nourishment. But the halls of the palace are not quiet. At the gates, Mercury squares Saturn —the mind meets the limit. In the shadows, Venus squares Pluto —love confronts what it’s been avoiding. In the fog, Mercury also squares Neptune —what’s said isn’t always what’s meant. We could imagine it like this: Jupiter arrives like a King returning to His homeland. But He finds the court in disarray. The counsellors are arguing (Mercury–Saturn). A hidden betrayal is uncovered (Venus–Pluto). Whispers spread through the halls—half-truths and illusions (Mercury–Neptune). There is no feast. Not yet. First, the truth must be spoken. The rot cleared. The dream clarified. By Wednesday , the Full Moon in Sagittarius  shines a light on belief: What do you no longer believe? What truth are you ready to follow instead? Then on Thursday , Mercury and Venus  speak softly—a moment of reconnection. Heart and mind touch again. A chance to speak from care, not defence. But the real test comes on Sunday . 🛡 Jupiter squares Saturn  — The dream is challenged by discipline. 🔥 Mars squares Pluto  — The will is confronted by power. This is the crucible . Jupiter says: “I want to grow.” Saturn says: “Then build something real.” Mars says: “I will act.” Pluto says: “Then face the consequences of power.” It’s not just about hope now. It’s about embodiment. Responsibility. Integrity. This is where we feel the friction between who we were, and who we are becoming. 🌱 What Might We Feel in Ourselves? Mental heaviness or doubt —difficulty expressing ourselves clearly (Mercury–Saturn). Confusion, overwhelm, or emotional fog —hard to trust what we think (Mercury–Neptune). A longing to root, soften, and feel held —what matters now feels sacred (Jupiter into Cancer). Emotional intensity, jealousy, or fear of loss  in relationships rises (Venus–Pluto). A need to release old stories —a belief or identity no longer fits (Sagittarius Full Moon). A reckoning between hope and effort —we feel the weight of commitment (Jupiter–Saturn). Rage, pressure, or deep frustration —an urge to act, but needing to face what’s beneath it (Mars–Pluto). 🌍 What Might We See in the World? Words face resistance  as truth is tested and silenced (Mercury–Saturn). Misinformation spreads  or clarity dissolves into spin and speculation (Mercury–Neptune). A collective shift  toward emotional care, safety, and family values begins (Jupiter into Cancer). Power struggles in love, money, and beauty  surface—scandals or reckonings (Venus–Pluto). Bold truths are revealed —especially around belief, justice, and freedom (Sagittarius Full Moon). Idealistic visions clash with real-world constraints —systems demand proof (Jupiter–Saturn). Hidden tensions erupt —force, rebellion, or confrontation pushes change (Mars–Pluto). 🧭 How to Walk With It All You don’t need to chase every transit. Just listen to your life : What feels ripe to grow, but scary to begin? What conversations feel uncomfortable, but necessary? What relationship, belief, or story is asking to be rewritten? Where does my desire meet my fear? Where are you called to soften—and where are you called to strengthen? Jupiter in Cancer asks: “What does real care look like?” Saturn in Aries answers: “And what will it take to build it?” Together, They’re offering you the beginning of a new cycle. Not easy. But real. So take the first step. Let it be awkward. Let it be honest. Let it be full of heart. The Gods are speaking this week. Not with thunder—but with steady hands and watching eyes. And they’re asking you not just to dream a better life—But to begin living it . Rising Sign Forecasts Where are you being asked to grow—and what’s the first step in building it? ♈ Aries Rising This week brings growth through home, family, and your inner roots . You may be longing for more softness, stability, or care—but building it will take emotional maturity. Saturn says: don’t rush. This isn’t about escaping into the past. It’s about creating a new foundation for your future. First step:  Make one choice that honours your need for emotional safety. ♉ Taurus Rising Your mind is hungry for more: learning, writing, speaking, connection. But you’re being asked to slow down and speak with purpose. Saturn reminds you that not every idea needs to be shared—only the ones that carry truth. This is about meaningful communication , not more noise. First step:  Say less. But mean more. ♊ Gemini Rising You’re being called to grow into a new sense of value—financially, emotionally, spiritually. But you can’t do it with your old blueprint. Saturn in your house of dreams asks you to get serious: what future are you actually investing in? First step:  Align your spending—and your energy—with what matters most. ♋ Cancer Rising Jupiter has entered your  sign. This is the beginning of a new 12-year cycle of personal expansion. But Saturn says: who are you becoming? This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming more you —with structure, with commitment, with courage. First step:  Name the version of yourself you’re growing into—and take one action in alignment with them. ♌ Leo Rising This week calls you inward. Jupiter is opening your 12th house of healing, retreat, and surrender—but Saturn reminds you that not all solitude is nourishing. This is about purposeful withdrawal —pausing not to hide, but to listen more deeply. First step:  Make time for silence. Something is waiting to be heard. ♍ Virgo Rising Your vision is growing. Jupiter lights up your house of hopes and collective dreams—but Saturn asks you to clarify what you truly  want to create with others. Not all connections support your growth. This is about conscious community and aligned collaboration. First step:  Reach out to someone who inspires you. Let your vision be witnessed. ♎ Libra Rising Your public life is asking for expansion—career, purpose, visibility. But Saturn says: slow down. Lead with integrity. This is about building a legacy, not chasing validation. First step:  Define success for yourself—beyond what anyone else expects. ♏ Scorpio Rising Your belief systems are shifting. Jupiter calls you to study, travel, explore—but Saturn says: live it, don’t just think it. It’s time to walk your talk, to integrate your spiritual truth into your daily actions. First step:  Put one belief into practice this week. ♐ Sagittarius Rising Something deep is being asked of you—emotionally, financially, spiritually. Jupiter is opening the door to intimacy and transformation. Saturn asks for maturity in your joy and your creative risks. This is the work of trusting the process, not controlling the outcome. First step:  Be honest with yourself about what (or who) you’re afraid to let in. ♑ Capricorn Rising Your relationships are asking to grow—but not without effort. Jupiter expands the potential for love, partnership, and connection. Saturn says: build trust, not fantasies. This is about mutual care, not just chemistry. First step:  Have the honest conversation you’ve been avoiding. ♒ Aquarius Rising Jupiter invites you to grow through service, wellness, and ritual. This isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about showing up for yourself. Saturn asks: is your daily life supporting your spiritual growth? First step:  Commit to one small practice that nourishes your body and  your soul. ♓ Pisces Rising Your creativity, joy, and desire are ready to flourish—but Saturn in your house of worth reminds you that play isn’t frivolous when it’s sacred. This is the week to take your pleasure seriously. First step:  Prioritise something that brings you joy—and trust it’s part of the path. And finally, 🐍 A Note on the Snake Each week, alongside the astroweather, I’ll be sharing a thread to help us attune to something deeper: the slow approach of the Saturn–Neptune conjunction  at 0° Aries in February 2026. This isn’t just another transit. It’s a reweaving of the world. Saturn , God of Time and Form, and Neptune , God of Mystery and Meaning, are moving toward union for the first time in Aries in thousands of years. This is a rare meeting of the visible and invisible, the body and the soul. And we are living it. The Snake is the symbol I’m using to hold this journey. Not as a metaphor, but as a living thread between worlds. You can read my inspiration here . Each week, I’ll offer a reflection or prompt to help you feel these Gods in your own life. To explore this in your own chart, I may soon be offering Saturn–Neptune readings. (Stay tuned.) 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive — Week Two Feel the Gods Where They Live in You Last week, we met The Snake. The sleeping serpent. The quiet current beneath it all. We began to trace the long, slow approach of a once-in-a-lifetime union: Saturn and Neptune, together at 0° Aries , in February next year. This isn’t a moment. It’s a movement. And it’s already begun. So how do we work with it? This week, we begin with a simple prompt: Where do Saturn and Neptune live in you? You don’t need to know the technical language to feel them. Just ask yourself gently: Where am I being asked to grow up (Saturn)? Where am I being asked to let go (Neptune)? And if you'd like some help getting to know where They sit in your chart, get in touch .

If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when the astrology is loud. So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions of what you might notice in the outer world and how you might tap into it in your inner world. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts. As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical!

JUPITER–SATURN SQUARE: THE CONFRONTATION OF PRINCIPLES We are now in the final moment of the opening square  of the Jupiter–Saturn cycle that began on 21 December 2020 , when the two met at 0° Aquarius . That conjunction was a collective pivot—an ideological seed moment that set a new 20-year cycle into motion. Now, in June 2025 , we hit the final 90° angle —a square. This is not harmonious. The square is of the nature of Mars . It creates friction . But that friction has a purpose: to produce something. It’s the moment the seedling hits resistance in the soil and either grows stronger or withers. Here's the timeline we're working with: 1. August 19, 2024 Jupiter:  17° Gemini (direct) Saturn:  17° Pisces (retrograde) Aspect:  First exact square in this cycle. 2. December 24, 2024 Jupiter:  14° Gemini (retrograde) Saturn:  14° Pisces (retrograde) Aspect:  Second exact square. 3. June 15, 2025 Jupiter:  1° Cancer (direct) Saturn:  1° Aries (direct) Aspect:  Final exact square in this series. THE ARCHETYPAL TENSION At the heart of this is a clash of two cosmic laws : 1. JUPITER: the impulse to expand Elevation, growth, optimism, abundance, generosity, confidence Tendency toward inflation, arrogance, overextension, waste, moralising Archetypally: Zeus, the magnanimous king 2. SATURN: the principle of contraction Structure, restraint, endurance, responsibility, reality, consequences Tendency toward limitation, pessimism, repression, fear, defeat Archetypally: Kronos, the stern Father, the god of time and law Expansion vs. Contraction Possibility vs. Limitation Optimism vs. Realism Vision vs. Structure The Yes vs. the No These are not just opposites—they are necessary counterweights. The square is not asking us to pick a side. It’s asking us to grow up  and hold both . WHY NOW? Because the future (Jupiter)  that was imagined in 2020 is now meeting the conditions of reality (Saturn) . Jupiter in Cancer  is now concerned with belonging, nourishment, emotional safety, and the abundance of care . He’s exalted here—he wants to bring plenitude through connection, family, memory, the roots of life. Saturn in Aries  is being pushed to act fast, to lead without the comfort of the known. This is the elder being forced to march in a war he didn’t plan, building while under fire. These signs square  one another. Cancer wants protection. Aries wants assertion. Saturn wants rules. Jupiter wants flow. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US? We are being asked to grow  (Jupiter) within the limits of reality  (Saturn).To build something meaningful —not just dream it. To face the friction  between our desire to expand  and the constraints we’re under . This square could look like: Wanting to start something meaningful (Jupiter in Cancer), but lacking the external structure or inner confidence (Saturn in Aries) to make it happen. Feeling a call to build a life that’s emotionally rich—but confronting real limitations in time, energy, or resources. Longing for home, for family, for roots (Cancer), but being pushed to take risky, individual action (Aries). The tension between caring for others and asserting the self. The stress of having a big vision but not knowing how to ground it— or  of being stuck in survival mode when you’re desperate to live for something more. WHAT ARE WE BEING ASKED TO HOLD? Responsibility for our growth. – You don’t get the vision (Jupiter) without the cost (Saturn).– Enthusiasm must be tempered by realism. The discipline to nourish wisely. – Jupiter in Cancer wants to give and give and give—but Saturn demands boundaries.– What are you offering that you actually don’t have the reserves to sustain? A confrontation with disillusionment. – The gilded cage: abundance that comes with strings.– False promises falling apart under Saturn’s scrutiny. The need to act with integrity. – Saturn in Aries is asking for action. But not reckless.– Mature, restrained, effective action—backed by clarity, not impulse. WHAT’S THE OPPORTUNITY? If you can hold the square— not resolve it, not escape it, but hold it —you get: Clarity on what actually matters (Jupiter in Cancer) The backbone to do what needs doing (Saturn in Aries) A vision that has teeth —something that’s beautiful   and   durable You don’t get a free ride here. But you do get to grow in proportion to what you’re willing to take seriously. This square asks: What are you building that’s worth your full weight? And what will it take to make it real? This square is about the pursuit of step-by-step progress . Incremental, deliberate movement  toward something that actually matters.

Jupiter  is God of 'expansion, magnitude, growth, elevation, superiority. [Jupiter has] the capacity and impulse to enlarge and grow, to ascend and progress, to improve and magnify, to incorporate that which is external, to make greater wholes, to inflate; to experience success, honour, advancement, plenitude, abundance, prodigality, excess, surfeit; the capacity or inclination for magnanimity, optimism, enthusiasm, exuberance, joy; joviality, liberality, breadth of experience, philosophical and cultural aspiration, comprehensiveness and largeness of vision, pride, arrogance, aggrandizement, extravagance; fecundity, fortune, and providence.' From Cosmos and Psyche by Richard Tarnas Jupiter in Gemini from May 26th 2024 to June 9th 2025 : What Might This Year Teach You? When Jupiter enters Gemini, He doesn’t land easily. This is a God who likes wide views and deep wisdom. He’s used to looking at the whole story. Gemini, though, scatters His gaze. Pulls Him in ten directions at once. The wisdom here isn’t in the overview, it’s in the details, the tangents, the unfinished conversations, the things we think are irrelevant but somehow end up mattering most. Jupiter is the God who grows us. He expands what He touches, sometimes beautifully, sometimes overwhelmingly. In Gemini, He expands the mind. The messages. The stories. The information. The noise . But what if we worked with it? What if instead of trying to quiet the noise, we got curious about what it’s really trying to say? Maybe this is a year to ask better questions. To listen for the deeper thread beneath the chatter. To notice the stories we’re telling, about ourselves, about others, about life, and gently pull at them. Are they true? Are they kind? Are they still serving us? This isn’t the kind of learning you get a certificate for. It’s the kind that shows up in how you speak to yourself at 3am, or how you listen to your child when they’re telling you about something that doesn’t make sense. It’s how you show up in everyday conversations. Whether you speak your truth, or hide it behind a smile. Let Jupiter help you grow, not by giving you the answers, but by teaching you how to stay open to them. Let this be a year of learning to listen . Not just to others, but to yourself. To the part of you that knows when something clicks. When something is right. When a story has come to an end. Read more about Jupiter here  - including how Jupiter shows up in your sign and house natally. The Start of The Expansion When Jupiter entered Gemini in May 2024, He didn’t enter quietly. He came holding hands with Pluto, forming a trine, a harmonious connection between two very different Gods, working together with surprising grace. Jupiter expands. Pluto transforms. One lifts us up to see the bigger picture. The other pulls us down into the underworld of what’s hidden, raw, and real. Together, they brought depth to the lightness of Gemini. This wasn’t going to be a superficial transit. At its best, this was a time of transformative learning , a year where ideas weren’t just exchanged but changed us. Words held power. Insights ran deep. We were asked to dig beneath our usual way of thinking, to look past distraction and into the roots of why we believe what we believe. Some of us found ourselves obsessed with new knowledge, psychology, or the workings of our own minds. Others discovered a power in their voice they hadn’t accessed before. With Pluto involved, this was never going to be a ‘nice’ transit. It was meant to uncover us, just a little. To break open stale ways of thinking and replace them with something more real. Something more ours. And now, as we near the end of this cycle, Jupiter has begun to shout. Jupiter in Gemini by Rising Sign With some journal prompts to meet yourself in reflection If you're not sure what your rising sign is and would like to find out, request a free digital birth chart here - you'll need your time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. Aries Rising (3rd House) Themes:  Communication, Siblings, Local Travel, Learning Opportunities : Expansion in communication skills, positive developments in relationships with siblings, neighbours, and the local community. You might take short trips or engage in activities that involve learning and teaching. Challenges : Be wary of overcommitting to too many social activities or projects. Miscommunication or misunderstandings might arise, so clarity is crucial. Since May 2024: Your mind has been busy. New ideas, short courses, different perspectives, maybe even new connections with siblings or neighbours. But what has all the noise revealed about what you believe? What have you learned about how you speak, what you say and what you don’t? What conversations changed you this year? Where did you realise you had more to learn? Have your words grown more honest, more kind, or more courageous? Taurus Rising (2nd House) Themes:  Finances, Personal Values, Material Possessions Opportunities : Potential for financial growth and increased earning opportunities. You might reassess your values and find new ways to enhance your material security. Challenges : Avoid excessive spending or financial risks. Ensure that your financial decisions are grounded and well thought out. Since May 2024: Your relationship with money, possessions, and your own self-worth has been under Jupiter’s magnifying glass. What does security really mean to you now? Is it numbers in a bank or a sense of inner steadiness? Where did your value system shift? What have you learned about what truly matters to you? What beliefs about success or survival needed an upgrade? Gemini Rising (1st House) Themes:  Self-Identity, Personal Initiatives, Appearance Opportunities : Personal growth and expansion of your identity. This is a time to pursue personal goals, enhance your image, and embrace new beginnings. Challenges : Be mindful of scattering your energies across too many ventures. Focus on what truly matters to you and avoid superficial pursuits. Since May 2024: You’ve been stretched. Pulled into becoming more of yourself. Jupiter moved through your first house like a travelling teacher, with lessons on identity, direction, and truth. Who are you now, at the end of this story? How have you changed this year? What have you begun to believe about your own potential? Did any old masks fall away? Cancer Rising (12th House) Themes:  Solitude, Spirituality, Subconscious Opportunities : Deep introspection and spiritual growth. You might explore hidden aspects of yourself, engage in healing practices, or take time for solitude and reflection. Challenges : Avoid escapism or getting lost in daydreams. Ensure you maintain a healthy balance between solitude and social interaction. Since May 2024: This has been a more internal year for you. A quiet expansion. One that may have taken place in dreams, therapy, solitude, or behind the scenes. Jupiter asked you to grow your faith, but only after letting something hidden rise to the surface. What did you finally admit to yourself? Where did silence become sacred? What healing happened that no one else could see? Leo Rising (11th House) Themes:  Friendships, Groups, Aspirations Opportunities : Expansion in your social circles and networking opportunities. You might get involved in group activities or work towards your long-term aspirations. Challenges : Be cautious of spreading yourself too thin among various social commitments. Ensure your goals align with your true desires. Since May 2024: You’ve been learning through friendships, community, and your wider hopes for the future. Jupiter has been asking: who do you belong to? What do you believe in? What do you want to build with others? Which friendships opened you up and which no longer fit? Where did you find meaning in shared vision? How has your vision for the future shifted? Virgo Rising (10th House) Themes:  Career, Public Image, Authority Opportunities : Professional growth and recognition. You might receive promotions, new career opportunities, or public acknowledgment for your work. Challenges : Avoid overextending yourself professionally. Strive for balance between your career and personal life to prevent burnout. Since May 2024: Your career or public self has been expanding, but not necessarily in linear ways. You may have been pulled in lots of directions or questioned what success really means. This hasn’t been about ticking boxes it’s been about realigning with your truth. What did you outgrow professionally? Where have you felt more visible or more scattered? What truth wants to lead your work now? Libra Rising (9th House) Themes:  Higher Education, Travel, Philosophy Opportunities : Expansion through higher education, long-distance travel, or exploring new philosophies and belief systems. You might pursue advanced studies or travel abroad. Challenges : Ensure that your explorations are grounded in reality. Avoid overcommitting to travel or studies that aren't well planned. Since May 2024: Your beliefs have been the terrain of transformation. Jupiter here is the seeker, the philosopher, the pilgrim. You might have studied something new, travelled (literally or internally), or found yourself questioning things you thought were certain. What did you stop believing this year? What spiritual, philosophical, or intellectual doorway opened? What wisdom do you carry now that you didn’t before? Scorpio Rising (8th House) Themes:  Shared Resources, Transformation, Intimacy Opportunities : Growth through shared resources, investments, and deep psychological transformation. Intimate relationships might also deepen. Challenges : Be mindful of financial risks and ensure clarity in dealings with shared resources. Emotional intensity may require healthy coping mechanisms. Since May 2024: This was never going to be a surface-level year. Jupiter lit up your underworld - inheritances, debts, deep bonds, fears, power, intimacy. The Gods have been whispering in the dark. Have you listened? What truths have emerged from your shadows? How has your relationship to power, control, or surrender changed? What parts of you have died and what’s growing in their place? Sagittarius Rising (7th House) Themes:  Partnerships, Marriage, Contracts Opportunities : Expansion in partnerships, both personal and professional. You might form significant new relationships or strengthen existing ones. Challenges : Avoid idealising relationships or making hasty commitments. Strive for balance and mutual understanding in partnerships. Since May 2024: Relationships have been the mirror. Jupiter has shown you the many faces of connection - romantic, business, platonic - and invited you to learn more about what you want, what you offer, and what you need. What old patterns have you seen more clearly? How has your understanding of partnership matured? What kind of relationship are you now ready for? Capricorn Rising (6th House) Themes:  Work, Health, Daily Routine Opportunities : Growth in your work environment, improvements in health, and optimising daily routines. You might take on new work responsibilities or start a wellness regime. Challenges : Be careful not to take on too much work or neglect your health. Maintain a balanced approach to your daily tasks. Since May 2024: This has been a year of sorting out the details, the health routines, work habits, responsibilities, and maybe even the way you speak to yourself day to day. Jupiter has been trying to grow you through small, practical steps. What did you learn about caring for your body and mind? Where did you feel overextended and why did you say yes? What new rhythms are you ready to honour? Aquarius Rising (5th House) Themes:  Creativity, Romance, Children Opportunities : Creative expression, romantic opportunities, and activities related to children. This is a time to indulge in hobbies and artistic pursuits. Challenges : Avoid overindulgence in pleasures or taking unnecessary risks in romance. Keep a balanced perspective on creative projects. Since May 2024: Creativity, pleasure, romance, children, the fifth house is the house of heart and expression. Jupiter here asks: do you believe in joy? In play? In your own voice? This year may have stretched your capacity to enjoy being alive. Where did you allow yourself more freedom or fun? What did you create, start, or love into being? Did your relationship to your own desire shift? Pisces Rising (4th House) Themes:  Home, Family, Inner Foundation Opportunities : Positive changes in your home environment, family relationships, and emotional foundation. You might move, renovate, or strengthen family ties. Challenges : Ensure that changes to your home or family life are well thought out. Avoid neglecting your personal needs while focusing on family matters. Since May 2024: Your roots have been the classroom, your family, your home, your emotional foundation. Jupiter’s been asking you to dig into your past to find the seeds of your future. Sometimes that’s meant grief. Sometimes, healing. What did you come to understand about where you came from? What stories were ready to be rewritten? What does ‘home’ mean to you now? My Reflection – Libra Rising (9th House) This week, I feel overwhelmed. It’s a familiar feeling. One I’ve known well since 2010, when my marriage ended and I became the one who holds everything. The kids. The house. The bills. The mood of the room. The future. I hold it all in my head. But this year, this Jupiter in Gemini year, I also held something else. I wanted to build something that could teach. Something that could help people see that even when life is full, even when the diary is packed and the washing up hasn’t been done, there is still space to grow. Still space to learn. To stretch your thinking. To see the world differently, and in doing so, live it differently . Since 2017 I’ve been doing the work. Quietly. In between everything else. And I think this year has been about realising I’m ready to teach it. That I have something to say. That I don’t have to wait for permission or for the ‘right’ time. There is no right time. There is only now, and whether you’re willing to show up for it. I always have too much to do. That hasn’t changed. My kids come first. Making sure they’re safe, fed, loved, held. Making sure this house is a home. That’s always been the priority. That doesn’t leave much room. But somehow, things have been built anyway. I’ve learned to rest when it’s too much. To trust that what truly needs doing will get done. And the rest can wait. Not everything is urgent. Some things aren’t mine to carry. What’s changed is how I work with time. Sometimes a blog post starts while I’m doing the washing up. A song will play, and the tone of something drops in. Fifteen minutes later, while the kitchen is being put back together, I’ve got the bones of it. I type it into my notes app. Let it sit. Come back when I have another window. Another twenty minutes. That’s how this whole year has been: made up of little windows. Snatched moments. One paragraph at a time. And now there’s something real to show for it. A body of work. A rhythm. A voice. So if there’s one thing I’ve learned, if I do have any advice, it’s this: You already know. The wisdom is there, within you. You’re not waiting to become wise. You’re just learning to listen. And when you do, you’ll find you’ve had the answers all along. Time is never the real limitation. What matters is choosing. Intending. Following the thread even if you have to pick it up and put it down again a hundred times. It still leads you home. So maybe now it’s your turn. What has this year grown in you? What have you learned, not just in your mind, but in how you live? What truth has taken root, quietly, while you were busy being human? You don’t need a big answer. You don’t need to write a blog post or teach a class. Just take a moment. Breathe. Listen. Something in you knows. And that’s enough. What's next? If you’d like to explore what Jupiter’s been opening up in your chart, or how to work with where He’s heading next, I’d love to hold that space with you. You can book a reading with me online, just choose a date that works. I’m at Essential Therapies on Thursday evenings and every other Saturday if you’re local, or we can connect via Zoom from wherever you are. Book a reading with me here . Jupiter is moving into Cancer on the 9th of June, where He’s exalted. This is a beautiful time to invite His wisdom into the heart of your life - your home, your family, your sense of belonging. To shift from surviving to something softer. Something more supported. To bring the magic into the day-to-day and begin transforming the ordinary into something that feels held, nourishing, and even fun. You don’t have to do it all alone. Let’s open the door together.

The Return of The Nourisher From the 9th of June 2025 (London), Jupiter, our God of growth, faith, and higher truth, returns to Cancer, the sign of His exaltation. Here, He doesn’t just act well. He feels  good. Safe. Generous. Powerful. Jupiter in Cancer is like a feast shared under a full moon, a fire lit in a storm, a hand on your back when you thought you were alone. This is His favourite place to pour blessings, through belonging, care, and deep emotional restoration. Jupiter in Cancer reminds us that abundance doesn’t have to be loud. It can be the quiet knowing that we are enough. That we’re held. That there is room at the table. Over the coming year, this transit brings a chance to expand in all the ways that matter most: through home, family, roots, memory, emotional security, and soul nourishment. It’s a time to grow where you’re planted, or to find new soil if the old ground has turned dry. In a world that often equates success with speed, Jupiter in Cancer whispers a different wisdom: slow down . Soften. Come home. The Archetype: Jupiter in Cancer When Jupiter travels through Cancer, His expansive nature meets The Moon’s domain of care, feeling, and protection. This combination magnifies: Emotional generosity  – the desire to nurture and be nurtured Faith in family and tradition  – chosen or blood A sense of home as sacred  – and a yearning to create safe, meaningful spaces Intuitive wisdom  – growth that comes not from logic, but from the gut Cultural and ancestral memory  – a reach back into the past to support the future Fertility and nourishment  – literal or symbolic, this transit helps things grow It’s a time when compassion becomes a superpower, when kindness stretches wider, and when emotional sensitivity is not a liability but a guide. Jupiter here expands the water element: emotions, intuition, memory, the unconscious. It blesses anything that feeds or shelters families, homes, communities, inner children, gardens, spiritual practices rooted in lineage or devotion. June 2025 – June 2026 A Year of Replanting What Was Uprooted Jupiter enters Cancer on the 9th of June 2025 , and will journey through this deeply feeling, life-giving sign until the 30th of June 2026 . It’s a potent, rare transit. He hasn’t been here since mid-2013 and this time, He arrives under a sky that’s already in flux. By the time Jupiter crosses Cancer’s threshold, the other outer Gods will have already shifted or be preparing to. We’re not in the same world we were a year ago, let alone 13 years ago, and we won’t be going back. Pluto  has left Capricorn for Aquarius, ending a 15-year excavation of power, systems, and structural shadow. Saturn  has entered Aries, beginning a brand new cycle of definition and discipline through action. Neptune  is flickering on the cusp of Aries, washing the old stories clean and asking us to imagine with fire instead of mist. Uranus  prepares to break new ground in Gemini, electric with ideas, unstable with change. And Jupiter , our God of growth and wisdom, comes home to water, to roots, to memory, to emotion. Not to flee the fire, but to nourish  what can still grow. The Saturn–Jupiter Square (Exact the 15th of June 2025) As Jupiter begins His new journey through Cancer, He does so under tension. On June 15, 2025 , He forms a square to Saturn in Aries , the first hard aspect in the 20-year Jupiter–Saturn cycle that began with their conjunction at 0° Aquarius on the Winter Solstice of 2020 . That moment marked the birth of a new collective paradigm: one concerned with air, ideas, systems, and long-term societal shifts. Three and a half years later, that seed is now under pressure. The square is the test. Like a plant pushing through the soil, the vision born in 2020 must now meet the resistance of real life and prove it has the strength to grow. The archetypal tension here is ancient. Jupiter is the impulse to expand, to grow, to elevate and inspire and to have faith that more is possible. He seeks abundance, meaning, joy, and philosophical breadth. Saturn is the principle of contraction, restraint, responsibility, and reality. He brings structure, discipline, and consequence. Jupiter says yes; Saturn says not yet. Together, they govern the architecture of a meaningful life. When they form a square - a tense conversation of friction and effort - we are not given ease. We are given a challenge: how do we grow within limits? How do we move forward while carrying weight? This dynamic now plays out between Cancer and Aries . Jupiter, exalted in Cancer, seeks to nourish and protect. He wants emotional safety, deep roots, and care that expands outward. Saturn, in Aries, is under pressure to act quickly, lead bravely, and build without precedent. But growth without boundaries collapses, and discipline without purpose becomes oppression. This square pushes us to find a rhythm between nurture and drive. Between the need for safety and the courage to step into the unknown. For some, it will highlight the tension between home life and personal ambition; for others, it will raise questions about how we care for others without abandoning ourselves. This moment matters because it sets the tone for Jupiter’s entire year in Cancer. What begins here is not a grand realisation, but a pursuit of step-by-step progress , a grounded attempt to bring big-hearted visions into embodied form. It’s not about escaping difficulty but about understanding the value in challenge . We’re being asked to hold the tension between expansion and contraction without flinching. To grow something real, we need to be responsible for what we’re cultivating and brave enough to keep going, even when the soil is heavy. This is the work of maturity. Of meaning. Of building lives that actually hold us. What Might Jupiter in Cancer Bring? Personally A deep pull to reconnect with your emotional needs A desire to grow roots: through home, family, or a sense of inner safety A renewed relationship with your past or ancestry Creative or literal fertility: the urge to plant, nurture, protect, and build something lasting Healing of the inner child, especially through nourishment, tenderness, or the right kind of boundaries If you’ve felt emotionally barren, out of place, or spread too thin, this year may bring a return to yourself. Growth doesn’t always look like going further. Sometimes, it looks like coming home . Collectively A renewed focus on food, housing, care work, parenting, and maternal systems Amplification of nationalism, nostalgia, or protective policies (the shadow side of Cancer) Greater attention to climate resilience, land, and environmental caregiving Possible rising interest in ancestral healing, cultural memory, and traditional spiritual practices Support for those rebuilding what has been lost, from homes to families to faith This is a year where compassion may become currency again. But also where emotional reactivity (Cancer’s defensive shell) could rise, especially as change speeds up in other parts of the sky. Jupiter’s Invitation Jupiter in Cancer doesn’t want a standing ovation. He’s not here for spectacle. He’s here for continuity. For what holds. For what feeds us in the places no one sees. He’s not asking you to change the world. He’s asking you to come home. Home to what soothes and sustains. And to what you’ve been too busy, or too tired, to tend. Jupiter doesn’t promise ease. But He does offer perspective on what really matters. On what isn’t negotiable anymore. On how much you’ve given without asking for anything in return. This isn’t a year to reach further. It’s a year to return to the part of you that remembers how to care, not as sacrifice, but as truth. Not to fix anyone. Just to honour what still lives under the surface. The root system. The memory of enoughness. A Prompt to Contemplate Where in your life are you being invited to come home ? Not just physically but emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. What needs tending? What has gone dry that wants watering? Jupiter expands whatever He touches. So ask yourself: Where do I long to feel safer, softer, more held? What would it mean to grow, not outwards, but inward, into my own heart? To go deeper, you can explore where Jupiter is moving through your  chart right now. The house He’s passing through reveals the part of life calling for nourishment, growth, and emotional truth. Jupiter in Cancer Rising Sign Reflections A return to enoughness. A quiet homecoming. A year to remember what love really is. ♈ Aries Rising – 4th House You’re being called inward now. Back to the roots: physical, emotional, ancestral. This is a year to tend your home, your family, your inner child. Something long-neglected is ready to be loved. Let yourself rest. Let yourself belong. The foundations you build now, inside yourself, will carry you for decades. ♉ Taurus Rising – 3rd House You don’t need to prove your knowledge anymore. Jupiter in your 3rd reminds you that wisdom lives in the everyday: in your voice, your writing, your conversations with people who truly see you. There is abundance in connection and this year, you're invited to speak from the heart, to listen with softness, and to trust that what you know matters. ♊ Gemini Rising – 2nd House This is about value: real, felt, embodied. Not the numbers in your account or what others think you’re worth, but the deeper knowing: I am enough.  Jupiter is expanding your sense of security now. You’re allowed to receive. You’re allowed to thrive. Let your relationship with money and self-worth be shaped by care, not scarcity. ♋ Cancer Rising – 1st House You are the soil. The vessel. The flame. Jupiter is moving through your very being, asking you to come back to yourself, not as an idea, but as a home. You’re allowed to be seen, to be celebrated, to be loved without earning it. This is a year of expansion through gentleness. Your presence nourishes others but don’t forget to include yourself. ♌ Leo Rising – 12th House The blessings are quiet now. Behind the scenes. In dreams, in silence, in the places no one else can follow. Jupiter in your 12th reminds you: you are never alone. Even in retreat, you are held. Let this be a year of spiritual reweaving. You don’t have to understand it all. You only have to soften enough to listen. ♍ Virgo Rising – 11th House You’re not meant to do it all yourself. Jupiter in your 11th invites you into community. Not surface-level networks, but true belonging. Let yourself be supported. Let yourself hope again. The future is being shaped by what you believe is possible especially when you remember you don’t have to walk it alone. ♎ Libra Rising – 10th House It’s time to bring care into the work. Jupiter is blessing your career, yes but not in the way the world measures success. This is about purpose that nourishes you too. Visibility that comes from alignment, not performance. Let the legacy you’re building include rest, kindness, and a life you don’t have to escape from. ♏ Scorpio Rising – 9th House Jupiter here offers you a new lens. A higher perspective. A way of seeing the world that is bigger, kinder, and truer. This is a year for faith. Let your beliefs stretch wide enough to include joy. Let yourself be changed by what you learn. There’s more love here than you’ve been taught to expect. ♐ Sagittarius Rising – 8th House This is deep. Intimate. Uncomfortable but transformative. Jupiter in your 8th house asks you to receive where you've always given. To trust in the unseen exchanges. To let yourself be met, emotionally and spiritually, without controlling the outcome. You are not meant to carry it all alone. ♑ Capricorn Rising – 7th House Love is the teacher this year. Real love - the kind that nourishes, not drains. Jupiter in your 7th house opens the door to partnership, but not just with others. This is about meeting yourself, too. Seeing your needs without judgement. Knowing you are worthy of gentleness. Let this be a year of shared grace. ♒ Aquarius Rising – 6th House It’s the small things that heal. The routines. The food. The way you speak to yourself at 7am. Jupiter in the 6th is asking you to stop abandoning yourself in the name of productivity. Let care be part of your work. Let presence be your service. You deserve to feel good in  your body and not just useful to  others. ♓ Pisces Rising – 5th House Let joy in. Let pleasure lead. Jupiter in your 5th wants you to create, to dance, to fall in love with life again. This is the house of the heart, and Jupiter’s presence here says: it’s safe to feel. Safe to express. Safe to want. You were made to shine. Let it happen gently. ✨ Want to explore what Jupiter in Cancer is activating in your  life?

These are my thoughts, ideas, and words, shaped by my lived experience and deep love for self-work, self-awareness, the spiritual journey, and astrology. AI helps me refine, structure, and nudge me toward better phrasing, but the voice you’re reading is mine. I use it as a tool to help me put into words everything I believe is valuable in sharing my insights. Honesty matters to me, and this is simply one way I bring my thoughts to life.

Between Doubt and Trust: A Story of Remembering When I was a child, I knew there was more to life than what we could see. It wasn’t something I was taught. It was just there , woven into everything. But as life happened to me, as losses accumulated, as betrayals hardened me, as the world showed its sharp edges, that knowing faded. It wasn't that I simply doubted. It was that I knew  there was nothing beyond my immediate reality. No hidden benevolence. No secret orchestration. No divine force looking out for me. If there was any kind of greater intelligence , it seemed clear it wasn’t for me. I wasn’t worthy of its kindness. Or worse, maybe it was indifferent to me altogether. When people spoke about trusting the Universe, I didn’t just roll my eyes. I felt anger. Contempt. How stupid could you be, to believe something so naïve? "Trust the Universe," the memes said. As if life hadn’t already proven otherwise. I wasn’t sceptical. I was certain. And I stayed that way: solidly, cynically grounded in the visible, measurable world, until life itself began to pull at the edges of my certainty. Until the impossible started happening. First quietly, through encounters I couldn't explain. Then louder, through timings so perfect they defied coincidence. It wasn’t just the arrival of The Magical Man *  ( read my story here ) that shifted something in me. It was everything that followed. I started to notice the patterns. Not in a dramatic way, but in the quiet details. The way my thoughts would mirror the sky. How animals moved. How the air changed. How certain days felt heavy and others sparkled with possibility. It was like the whole world was humming with meaning, and I had started to tune in. Slowly, I began to understand: I wasn’t separate from life. I was part  of it. Not just living in the world, but moving with it. Woven into its rhythms. I was already reading the energy of the day, through feelings, through instinct, through the way the world responded to me. I just didn’t have a name for what I was doing. When astrology found me, it was like someone handed me the map. I didn’t have to guess anymore. I could see the shape of the day before it unfolded. See how the sky was moving, and what it was asking of me. Where I was in the story. And I realised: I’m not strange for living this way. I'm not crazy. I’m not making it up. I’ve just remembered something we all once knew. This language has been here for thousands of years. It’s written in the stars, and written in us. Yet despite everything, the magic, the miraculous, the thousands of impossible synchronicities, the evidence, the fact that the birth chart can reveal aspects of our lives and selves even we've forgotten, doubt still lives alongside my noticing . Scepticism still sits quietly in the corner, arms folded, waiting for more irrefutable proof. Trust doesn’t come easily. It has to be chosen: again and again. It has to be practiced. Strengthened, like a muscle. Here are three lived experiences that help to remind me, to choose, even as I forget: 3. The Book That Found Me When I was a child, there was a book I loved beyond reason. A beautiful, illustrated story that stayed with me long after I was “too old” for it. I can’t explain why it mattered so much. It just did. It was a kind of secret comfort I didn’t have to explain to anyone. Somewhere along the way, the book vanished. Life happened. My childhood bedroom was cleared. I grew up, moved away, had children of my own. But sometimes, when rooting through old boxes or visiting my parents, I’d think of it. I’d search. I’d even try Googling, but without a title or author, it was like trying to summon a ghost. Eventually, I wondered if maybe I had imagined it. Then, in the autumn of 2017 - a season of endings and new beginnings - the title of the book dropped into my mind, fully formed. Out of nowhere. 'My Very Own Sister' I searched online. And there it was. Just one copy for sale. £174. ( I was born in 1974. And it turns out the book was first published in 1974. Coincidence? ) I didn’t buy it. £174 is an extortionate amount for a book, but especially for a single parent on a limited budget. But that was okay. It felt like enough just to know it existed outside of me. That I hadn’t made it up. At Christmas, I showed my Mum the book for sale online. She remembered it instantly. She hadn't seen it since I was a child. She couldn't say where it was. 'Maybe it’s in a box in your loft?', she said. (It wasn’t. I knew it wasn’t.) Still, I hoped. Quietly. That one day I would own this book again. That I'd be able to hold it in my hands, and re-read the story that had felt so magical, so special, when I was small. Perhaps another one would turn up, and at a more affordable price. At the time, I was in the middle of something I couldn’t yet name. A season of longing. Of trying to hold onto faith in something I couldn’t see. I didn’t know it yet, but I was walking the first hard miles of a much longer journey. A journey that asked me to believe in what had no proof. A journey of faith. Of trust in a greater intelligence whose kindness I was worthy of. That wasn't indifferent to me. Months later, after a summer of deep healing and impossible synchronicities, I went back to my parents’ house. And there, on the dresser in the guest room, was the book . Perfect. Untouched by time . Exactly as I had remembered. I sat down on the bed and cried. Because opening it, I remembered the story, and in remembering the story I realised why it had been so treasured. So cherished. So loved. It's a story about a little girl. With a secret twin. A twin who lives in a hidden golden palace. A secret twin who called her, " My Very Own ." A secret twin that loves her more than anyone else in the world. The Most Beautiful Valley In The World I had forgotten the plot, but not the feeling. The longing. The belonging. The place where she was truly seen. Truly known. Special. And loved. And I understood why I had clung to that story. Why it had planted itself so deep inside me. Because it wasn’t just a story. It was a prophecy. The child I was had known something the adult me had forgotten: That I was made for connection. That love is real. That my longing is not a mistake, it's written into my being. That a love like this is possible. My book was returned to me in perfect timing. It came back when I was ready to hold that truth again. 'My Very Own Sister' by Astrid Lindgren (1974-1st UK Ed) Hans Arnold Illustrated Curious to know how? My mum had just happened to find it - sticking out of a pile of random junk in the loft. It hadn’t been carefully stored. It hadn’t turned up during any of the countless tidying sessions or reorganisations the loft had gone through over the past 30-odd years - including when a new roof was put on, and everything had to be moved and sorted. It hadn’t found its way downstairs with all the other childhood books my mum had lovingly saved and retrieved when her grandchildren were born. It had simply... stayed hidden. Waiting. And yet, when it finally appeared, it was exactly as I remembered it. Delicate yes, but whole. (45 years old by then!) Still in amazing condition. Read the book here . 2. The Magic Number Around the same time, another impossible thing happened. I was driving home from my parents’ house with my kids (then 11 and 14) and our new puppy. On the drive there, I had noticed my mileage was about to tick over to 66,666. Since I’d been seeing synchronicities everywhere, I thought: That'll be a moment worth noticing. I didn’t expect the chaos that would follow. On the motorway, my tyre blew. Terrifying. Fast lane. Three lives depending on me. Somehow, I steered us to the hard shoulder. Shaking. Pretending I wasn’t terrified. No idea how to put on the spare tyre. No breakdown cover. No idea where we were. The AA said it would cost hundreds and take hours. The kids and I walked along the side of the motorway, me carrying the puppy, my daughter sobbing, my son trying to be brave. And then, just when I was about to give up and pay whatever it cost, the traffic police appeared. At first they said they couldn’t help. Then they changed their minds. They changed the tyre. They stayed with us. They rescued us. We got back on the road, crawling along at 60mph. Hours behind schedule. Exhausted. And then, something happened. At 6:00pm: 66,660 At 6:01pm: 66,661 At 6:02pm: 66,662 At 6:03pm: 66,663 At 6:04pm: 66,664 At 6:05pm: 66,665 And at 6:06pm , the odometer hit 66,666 . Perfect. Impeccable. As if the entire terrifying mess had been designed to slow us down just enough  to witness that moment. Even the chaos had been held. Even the terror had been threaded into a larger design. Not every sign of magic looks like a blessing at first. Sometimes it comes disguised as loss. Sometimes it doesn’t give us what we thought we wanted, it gives us what we needed  to awaken. This last story didn’t always feel like magic when I was living it. At times it felt like heartbreak. But looking back, I see it was the beginning of everything. The beginning of me. 1. The Man I Was Always Meant to Meet I met The Magical Man a year before we spoke. One lunch break, walking with a friend, we bumped into him. They talked. I stood silently by. But something happened that I still can’t explain. I was utterly captivated. By his voice. By his gestures. By the presence of him. He spoke about trusting the universe. About magic. I thought he meant card tricks. I had no idea he was speaking about real magic - the kind you live. When we walked away, my friend told me about him. It was clear she cared for him. I suggested she pursue it. She said, "I’m not his type." Somewhere inside, I assumed that meant he wouldn’t consider me his type either. But I couldn't get him off my mind. From then on, it was as if I saw him everywhere. Every time I left the office, I'd see him. I started hearing about him. His manager sat opposite me, and it seemed everyone was always talking about him. He became very present in my world, even though we'd never spoken. We smiled when we saw each other. I may have mouthed "hi." When I found out he was moving into my office, I wasn’t surprised. It felt inevitable. And that's the primary feeling I had, looking back: I will know this man. I just need to wait. And when we finally spoke about it, it turned out he had felt the same. From that very first moment, he had known we were connected. He had asked the Universe when he would meet his person. And the answer had come: Wait until December. We started talking in September. By December, it was undeniable. But just weeks later, it became clear that a relationship wasn’t on the cards for us. There wasn’t a dramatic ending. We just... agreed. For him, I think he knew he wasn’t ready. Maybe I wasn't his One after all. For me, it felt like I was being asked to pause. To hold what I’d felt without trying to make it into something. To trust the timing of something I didn’t understand. And at first, it didn’t hurt. Not then. Because I could still feel the presence of something larger - like the connection wasn’t ending, just changing shape. Becoming something quieter. A friendship. But that, too, dissolved. Conversations faded. Silences took their place. And eventually, the absence settled in. That’s when it hit me. What I’d thought I could hold lightly, what I told myself I’d accepted, began to crack me open. I didn’t expect it. I didn’t understand it. We’d barely known each other. But the grief that rose in me was total. It brought with it the ache of every other abandonment I’d ever felt. The longing for something I didn’t even believe I deserved. The shame of having wanted. The disbelief that something so powerful could leave without explanation. And underneath all of that, something deeper: A quiet, insistent voice that said, This isn’t the end of the story. This is the beginning of you. It was a dark night of the soul, even though I didn’t have that language for it then. He was the catalyst. But the journey was mine. What he activated in me was something ancient. Something sacred. Something I had to walk through, alone. The years that followed weren’t about finding love “out there.” They were about finding home in here . I began the slow, humbling, magical work of building trust: not in him, not in fate, but in the Universe itself. In the intelligence that moves through everything. In myself. Those memes I used to mock, the ones that said “just trust The Universe”, I write them now. In fact, just yesterday, I wrote one without even thinking: "Let The Universe bring you what you want. You don’t need to control it. You just need to be able to receive it." I couldn’t have imagined being someone who would say that. But I’ve lived it now. I’ve felt the difference between forcing and allowing. I’ve watched life reveal itself in perfect timing: not just once, but over and over again. I’ve studied astrology formally, yes, but more than that, I’ve embodied  it. I’ve lived it. Felt it. Worked with it. And now, I’m no longer searching for a map. I am the map. I move with the sky. I listen. I trust. Well, mostly. This isn’t a story about falling in love with someone else. It’s about returning to the person I was always meant to be. The person I always was. I just had to remember. Looking back, it makes perfect sense. But still. Doubt persists. And I don't just have my stories to rely on. The Magical Man has stories aplenty of his own. Many more than I. He’s lived through ridiculous experiences that defy reason, seen things on the daily that he can’t put into words, he's been told by The Divine Feminine herself that he is a divine being deserving of love, and still he refers to himself as a "non-believer", still he says, “I don’t believe any of it.” It’s how he copes. It’s how I cope too. Because the truth is, belief is dangerous when you’ve been hurt. Hope can feel like a setup. Because if we believe. If we really, fully open to the idea of mutual, divine love, then we have to risk the most frightening things: Not just heartbreak. But humiliation. Shame. The horror of having been foolish to trust. The fear that we will be seen. And found lacking. The fear that if we hope and it breaks, it will break us  too. That it will confirm the oldest, darkest fear: That we were never enough to be chosen. Never enough to be loved in the way we long for. Read more about my experience of all this here: My Twin Flame Journey: 8 Years On Trust Isn’t Certainty. It’s a Way of Living. These stories don’t erase my scepticism. They don’t demand blind faith. They remind me. They soften the edges. They invite me to live as if The Universe is kind, even when fear whispers otherwise. They invite me to keep choosing trust, again and again, even when my mind demands proof. Because here’s what I know now: I have been met before. I will be met again. And every step, even the ones that felt like wrong turns, have carried me exactly where I was meant to go. Maybe I can't believe it all the time. Maybe I don't have to. Maybe trust was never meant to be a feeling I could cling to, but a way of moving through the world with my eyes open. A way of letting wonder and doubt live side by side. A way of remembering, even when I'm not sure. Maybe it’s enough to keep walking toward love anyway. Maybe it’s enough to live as if  the magic is real, until one day, it doesn’t feel like pretending anymore. A Final Note This is what I want to offer you, if you’ve made it this far, not an answer. Not a fix. Not a promise that life won’t still ache. But the gift of remembering. Remembering that there is more to this life than what we’ve been told. That the world is alive, responsive, full of signs and meaning. That we’re not lost in it, we’re part of it. And that the wisdom you need isn’t somewhere outside of you. It’s already here. In your noticing. In your longing. In your story. You don’t have to believe. You just have to stay open enough to remember. And if you want help finding the language of your own story, Astrology is the map I use. It’s not a belief system. It’s a living, breathing conversation with the sky, with life itself. It’s the same conversation you are already part of, whether you realise it or not. You and I, we are walking the same path. It may look different for each of us. But underneath it all, it’s the same longing. The same remembering. And it would be an honour to walk a little way alongside you.

And book in with me here . *The Magical Man You may wonder why I call him The Magical Man . The first reason is because He is Magical, in more ways than one. The second is because of what our meeting, and the experiences that followed our meeting, awoke within me. Meeting him was more than a romance that didn’t happen. It was a catalyst. A crack in the structure of my life that let the light in. What I later came to understand is that some connections are different. They don't come to complete us, or even to stay with us. They come to awaken us: to burn away the illusions we didn't even know we were carrying. In the New Age, this kind of connection is called a twin flame or twin soul: two souls who mirror each other so fiercely that everything false must fall away. Not so we can be together, necessarily. But so we can become who we were always meant to be. The Twin Flame Journey isn't easy. It's not a love story in the way the world usually understands it. It's a path of radical self-knowledge, healing, and transformation. And it's not something you choose, rather something that is thrust upon you. When the time is right. It was only after meeting Him, and letting go of the idea of "us", that I found the framework I needed to navigate what was happening to me. To manage the deep emotional, spiritual, and psychological metamorphosis that had been triggered in me. That I eventually learned to embrace. And be grateful for. That I would choose again, given a choice. Astrology became one of the tools in my arsenal. Not as an escape. But as a map. A way to understand the energies shaping my journey, and my own soul’s call to become more than I had ever dared to imagine. This is what I bring to my work now: Not theories. Not dogma. But lived experience. And the deep compassion that can only come from walking the road yourself. If you are on a journey like this - messy, painful, beautiful - know this: You are not broken. You are becoming. And you don't have to walk it alone. Read more about The Twin Flame Journey here and find my answers to questions the journey provokes in you here .

This is the kind of love that’s real. That plants itself in your daily life and blossoms through care, through presence, through showing up. Venus: the principle of desire, love, beauty, and value. She is the impulse and capacity to attract and be attracted, to love and be loved, to seek and create beauty and harmony, to engage in social and romantic relations, sensuous pleasure, artistic and aesthetic experience. She is the principle of Eros and the Beautiful , Aphrodite , The Goddess of love and beauty. Nigella Lawson - the sumptuous cook Venus in Taurus She does not arrive with a flourish. She does not enter the room. She is  the room. The worn velvet of the armchair, the soft clink of a spoon in the cup. The silence that lingers between people who have already said everything. She is the way the sunlight rests on skin without asking permission. Venus in Taurus does not need to seduce. She reminds. Reminds you of the weight of your own body in the sheets. Reminds you how the world tasted before you learned to rush. Reminds you that real love, true, rooted, ripened, moves like honey, not like fire. She does not want to be worshipped; she wants to be touched. She wants a love that remembers to shut the windows when it rains. A love that stays to do the dishes. A love that waits in the doorway, coat in hand, until you’re ready to speak. She is not here to improve you. She is here to return you to yourself. To the places you forgot were sacred: The space between your ribs. The dirt under your fingernails. The ache in your chest that only soft things know how to reach. Let the world spin its stories of more, more, more. Venus in Taurus wants less. But deeper. Slower. Real. Venus in Taurus: A Homecoming There is a kind of love that doesn’t ask questions. It just lays the table. Lights a candle. Pulls the chair out slightly, waiting for you to sit down. That’s this. Venus in Taurus knows what she wants and it’s not a promise, a thrill, or a story to tell someone later. It’s a moment. This  one. Venus in Taurus through the Houses What are you coming home to? Aries Rising – 2nd House What do you reach for when you want to feel better? This transit touches your relationship with comfort, money, and worth. Not your big dreams , but your daily ones, the ones that ask for soft socks and a well-stocked fridge. Let it be simple. Let it be enough. Let it be yours. Taurus Rising – 1st House This is about you. Your body. Your beauty. Your right to take up space. It’s not about changing anything, it’s about not changing . About remembering that being fully in your skin is more seductive than trying to be anything else. Eat slowly. Speak softly. Let yourself be seen. Gemini Rising – 12th House You won’t find Her out in the world. She’s in the dream that lingers, the song you forgot you loved, the memory that tastes like honey. This Venus whispers. She invites you into silence, solitude, softness you don’t have to share. Don’t rush to explain it. Just feel it. Cancer Rising – 11th House You find her in friendship. In the ones who don’t flinch when you cry or go quiet when you shine. This Venus reminds you that love doesn’t always come in a romantic box, it can arrive in laughter, in shared soup, in someone remembering your dog’s name. Hold them close. Let them hold you. Leo Rising – 10th House There’s something magnetic about you right now. Not performative just quietly radiant. People notice when you walk into the room. This is Venus in velvet heels, calm, composed, commanding. You don’t need to sell yourself. Just be . Virgo Rising – 9th House This is the deep breath after too many thoughts. You might crave beauty that stretches you - through books, art, other languages, new views. Don’t explain it all away. Let beauty re-enchant you. Let yourself want more than just efficiency. Libra Rising – 8th House This is the kind of intimacy that happens in the quiet after. Not flashy. Not loud. Just a deep knowing. You might feel the urge to merge, or to pull back from what no longer feels true. Either way, don’t fake it. Your body knows the difference. Scorpio Rising – 7th House Love gets clearer now. You want softness but not weakness. You want presence. If they can meet you there beautiful, if not, hold your own hand and know that’s enough. Sagittarius Rising – 6th House Ritual. Rhythm. Reverence for the ordinary. This is love through doing - the coffee brought to your desk, the sheets changed before you ask. It’s not glamorous, but it’s real. And it matters more than you think. Capricorn Rising – 5th House Let it be delicious. Make art. Flirt badly. Buy flowers for yourself. This Venus doesn’t care if it’s productive. She cares if it’s alive. Give yourself permission to enjoy something that leads absolutely nowhere. Aquarius Rising – 4th House Home is calling. Not just the house, but the feeling. You might want to cook. Or stay in.

Venus in Taurus in the Natal Chart When Venus is in Taurus in a natal chart, relationships tend to be marked by steadiness, loyalty, and a deep desire for comfort and security. Love is something to be cultivated over time, a slow burn rather than a spark. People with this placement often crave physical affection and value consistency over drama. There’s a sensual quality to the way they love - through touch, presence, shared meals, and everyday rituals. They are deeply loyal once committed, and they need relationships that feel safe, dependable, and grounded in reality. But Venus isn’t just about love, She also speaks to our values, self-worth, pleasure, and money. With Venus in Taurus, personal values often centre around stability, beauty, and quality. People with this placement tend to value what is tangible and enduring. They appreciate simplicity and are drawn to what feels natural and timeless rather than trendy or flashy. There’s often a strong connection to the physical world, and pleasure is found in the senses - good food, soft fabrics, music, nature, and physical intimacy. Financially, Venus in Taurus often points to a steady and practical approach to money. These individuals may prefer to build wealth slowly and securely, valuing long-term stability over risky ventures. They’re usually quite resourceful and may have a good eye for beauty and quality, which can make them gifted with money in industries like design, art, or hospitality. Self-worth is built on inner security and material reliability, they feel confident when they can rely on themselves and trust in what they’ve created.

She walks barefoot through the garden and waits for you to notice the scent. She is the pause between heartbeats, the way your body softens in safe hands, the warmth of bread, the hush of dusk, the touch that says, you are enough. She is the Goddess of roses and resistance, of hips swaying to music only the soil remembers, of gold not worn but earned from tending, from time. She is not here to impress you. She is here to stay. To show you that love is not always lightning, sometimes it is stone. Weathered. Steady. Sacred. The place you sit and rest. She teaches that longing is holy, but presence is holier. That your body is not a battleground but a blooming. That beauty is not a prize but a birthright. And that the truest love is the one that wakes with you, sips tea beside you, and touches the earth with every step. Want to Learn More About Your Venus?

This is an in-between week. Let’s break it down simply. 🌗 First Quarter Moon in Virgo (2nd June) This Moon phase is always about building momentum . It’s the halfway point between the New Moon (a beginning) and the Full Moon (a culmination). Virgo, the sign She’s in, asks for focus, clarity, and intentional effort. This is the time to take practical steps  toward something that matters to you, especially something you might have wished for or committed to around the New Moon in Gemini (26th May). 🪞 Inner Work:  What’s your next step? Don’t overcomplicate it. Pick one thing that feels like it brings order or healing. 🌍 Outer World:  Expect themes of improvement, health, routines, work tasks, or even tidying up to be in focus. 💖 Venus sextile Jupiter (4th June) and then enters Taurus (6th June) This is Venus’s last moment in Aries , a sign She’s been travelling through since early February , with a long pause and deep inward spiral during Her retrograde from 1st March to 12th April . Think of it this way: Venus has been learning how to love boldly . How to go after what She wants. How to lead in love and money, not just wait. Refresh yourself on Venus is Aries with this blog post . On the 4th, She gets a goodbye hug from Jupiter (God of wisdom and growth) in Gemini. It’s a soft blessing , a reminder that whatever we’ve been through since the start of this year, we’ve grown and expanded from it. And on the 6th, She comes home  to Taurus, a sign She rules. This is Venus' earthy and sensuous sign. Here She wants peace. Comfort. Touch. She wants to receive , not chase. The journey has changed Her. It may have changed you  too. 🪞 Inner Work:  What have you learned about love, worth, value, or beauty since February? Can you open now to receiving more of what nourishes you deeply? 🌍 Outer World:  Expect a shift toward slower, more grounded pleasures: food, nature, physical touch, financial stability. Read about Venus in Taurus Venus in Taurus: Love That Touches the Earth 💬 Mercury sextile Mars (5th June) Mercury (God of the mind) is still in Gemini, the sign They rule, and recently had Their cazimi , which is like a rebirth moment. Mercury is sharper now, clearer. Mars (God of action) is still in Leo, proud, expressive, brave. Their conversation on the 5th is a green light  moment: thoughts become action. Words get energy. Plans can move forward. 🪞 Inner Work:  Speak with courage. Say the thing. Ask the question. Write the words. 🌍 Outer World:  Watch for bold headlines, big announcements, decisive moves. There’s a lot of “let’s do it” energy in the air. 📣 Mercury enters Cancer (8th June) After a bold talk with Mars, Mercury moves into the emotional waters of Cancer. From here, Mercury speaks in feeling , not facts. Thoughts become tinged with memory, mood, and meaning. 🪞 Inner Work:  Speak with softness. Let the truth rise from your belly, not just your head. 🌍 Outer World:  Watch for stories about home, family, belonging, safety, and care. Emotions may run closer to the surface in conversations. 🌟 Backdrop: Jupiter is almost done with Gemini Jupiter has been in Gemini since May 2024 , and He’s only here for a little longer, until the 9th of June . After that, He won’t return for another 12 years . So this is it. The final stretch. This week might feel like a crescendo , especially in areas ruled by Gemini: communication, ideas, connection, learning, choice. The seeds you've been planting all year, in how you think, speak, connect, are ready to bloom. If you've been doing inner work around mindset, storytelling, or truth-telling you’ll feel this . It's the last big gust of wind before He changes the weather. 🪞 Inner Work:  What new perspective has Jupiter brought into your life? Where are you being asked to think bigger, connect more courageously, or let your voice be heard? 🌍 Outer World:  Expect lots of talk, big ideas, fast-moving stories, and possibly some noise and overwhelm, Jupiter in Gemini tends to turn up the volume. Read more on Jupiter's time in Gemini in my spotlighted essay: Jupiter in Gemini: What story did you grow into? 🌀 In Summary: This week is about motion  — from idea to action, from insight to embodiment. Venus is shifting gears , offering us a chance to soften after a time of striving. Mercury is transitioning , asking us to balance sharp thought with emotional truth. And Jupiter is finishing up  His year-long journey through the sign of conversation and curiosity - this is your last chance to ride that wave. ✨ Ask yourself: What’s been growing in me this past year and how do I honour it now? Where do I need to take action? What truth needs to be spoken? Can I let myself receive? Rising Sign Forecasts Here are your rising sign horoscopes  for the week of 2nd–8th June 2025 , focused on Venus coming home to Taurus after months in Aries, a place of striving and fire. She’s now ready to soften, root, and remind us of what feels good in the body and the world. This is a moment to pause and notice the beauty that’s been quietly waiting to be felt again. Wherever Taurus falls in your chart, that  is where a little more pleasure is being poured in this week. ♈ Aries Rising – Taurus rules your 2nd House After months of wondering if you’re doing enough, earning enough, being enough… Venus brings a balm. This is your invitation to slow down and feel into your worth without needing to prove it. Reconnect with what’s already abundant in your life. Your value is not up for debate. Try:  a barefoot walk, a slow meal, or a simple money ritual that reminds you you’re safe. ♉ Taurus Rising – Taurus rules your 1st House She’s home. And so are you. You’ve been through it, the push, the proving, the inner fire of Venus in exile. Now, a softness returns. Let it show in your skin, your smile, your way of moving through the world. You don’t have to chase anything. You are magnetic when you’re just… you. Try:  adorning yourself, letting your senses lead, and doing something just because it feels good . ♊ Gemini Rising – Taurus rules your 12th House This is subtle, a warm breeze you feel behind closed doors, a flicker of peace in the quiet spaces. Let yourself rest. Venus here wants you to release striving and drop into the dream. Pleasure can be private, sacred, and healing. Let go of what you’re carrying alone. Try:  sleep, dreams, nature walks alone, or music that makes you weep. ♋ Cancer Rising – Taurus rules your 11th House You’re being reminded of the beauty of belonging. This week could bring supportive friendships, affirming community moments, or creative collaborations that feel easeful. Venus here helps you remember: you're not alone. Let others in, the right ones bring joy. Try:  planning something with friends, or saying yes to a group that feels soul-aligned. ♌ Leo Rising – Taurus rules your 10th House You’ve been working hard. But Venus in your house of visibility and vocation says: don’t forget the pleasure. Beauty belongs in your work. This week, something may land, a project, a moment of recognition, a renewed sense of direction. Let yourself enjoy it. Try:  making your workspace more beautiful, or honouring a small success with a treat. ♍ Virgo Rising – Taurus rules your 9th House After all the mental effort, Venus is calling you into the world, or at least into a different perspective. Travel, learning, philosophy, nature, it’s time to expand through pleasure . You don’t have to think your way through this next step. You can feel your way there. Try:  booking a trip, starting a spiritual practice, or simply spending a day under the sky. ♎ Libra Rising – Taurus rules your 8th House You’ve done so much inner work lately, especially in the spheres of relationships, unravelling, letting go, facing truth. Venus now brings comfort to the deeper layers. This is a moment of sensual healing, emotional intimacy, maybe even financial support. Don’t flinch from what feels too good to be true, your body will tell you what is real. Tap in. Try:  a warm bath, bodywork, journaling with music, or intimacy that starts with trust. ♏ Scorpio Rising – Taurus rules your 7th House If love has felt like a battlefield, this week could shift things. Venus here brings softness, harmony, and beauty to your one-to-one connections. Whether it’s romantic, platonic, or professional there’s a chance now to create balance and feel met. Try:  being receptive. Say yes to support. Let someone surprise you with kindness. ♐ Sagittarius Rising – Taurus rules your 6th House Work doesn’t have to be a grind. Venus is bringing grace to your daily routines. Look for the moments that feel just right : the walk to work, the coffee ritual, the playlist that gets you through. Your body is also speaking this week. Listen. Try:  stretching gently, beautifying your space, or cooking something nourishing from scratch. ♑ Capricorn Rising – Taurus rules your 5th House This is the good stuff. Venus in your 5th invites you to create, play, flirt, express. After months of inner effort, this is a moment to delight in being alive. Let your heart open. Let joy be reason enough. Try:  dancing, making art, going on a date, or just doing something with no outcome required . ♒ Aquarius Rising – Taurus rules your 4th House The ache for home softens now. Venus here wraps the inner child in a warm blanket and whispers, "You are safe." Tend to your nest. Reclaim peace. This is about emotional security, not appearances. Let beauty begin with where you wake up and who you are when no one’s watching. Try:  fresh sheets, flowers on the table, or cooking an old family recipe. ♓ Pisces Rising – Taurus rules your 3rd House Words feel sweeter now. Your thoughts settle. Venus is softening how you speak and listen. This is a week for kind communication, poetic expression, and noticing beauty in everyday life. You might find more ease in your voice, and more connection through your words. Try:  writing letters, sharing your thoughts, reading something beautiful out loud. And finally, 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive: A Prelude to the Saturn–Neptune Conjunction at 0° Aries In his essay “A Snake is Not a Symbol,”  James Hillman reminds us that the snake is not merely a metaphor but a living, breathing presence. To "keep the snake alive" is to stay in relationship with this vital force, to honour the depths of our psyche, and to resist the urge to interpret or transcend our experiences prematurely. As we approach the rare and potent conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at 0° Aries on 20th February 2026 , we are invited to embody this principle. This alignment marks the beginning of a new cycle, a fusion of structure (Saturn) and imagination (Neptune), reality and dream, form and formlessness. Historically, Saturn–Neptune conjunctions have coincided with significant societal shifts. For instance, the conjunction in 1989 aligned with the fall of the Berlin Wall, symbolising the dissolution of old structures and the emergence of new paradigms. Now, as these two Gods meet at the very start of the zodiac, we stand at the threshold of a profound transformation. This conjunction is not just an astronomical event; it's a call to action. It's an invitation to ground our dreams in reality, to build structures that support our highest ideals, and to navigate the delicate balance between discipline and surrender. 🌱 Introducing: Weekly Reflections to Keep the Snake Alive To honour this unfolding journey, I will be sharing a weekly reflection, a gentle prompt, a question, or an image, designed to help you stay connected to your inner world as we move toward this significant celestial event. These reflections are not about prediction but about presence. They are invitations to: Tune into your inner landscape , noticing the subtle shifts and stirrings. Engage with your dreams and intuitions , allowing them to inform your waking life. Embrace the process of transformation , recognising that endings and beginnings often coexist. Each week, we'll explore a facet of this journey, keeping the snake alive by staying in touch with the soul's unfolding narrative. To read on where the inspiration came from find James Hillman's essay here: The Snake Is Not A Symbol 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive — Week One The soul doesn’t shout. It whispers. But if you lean in, you’ll hear the breath beneath everything. This week, begin simply. Don’t go looking for grand signs. Just notice what won’t leave you alone. The thought that lingers. The feeling that returns in quiet moments. The ache that isn’t loud, but steady. This is the snake stirring. Not a problem to be fixed. Not a puzzle to solve. But a presence to sit beside. Reflection prompt: What part of you is still alive beneath the surface, even if the world told you to forget it? Try: Lying on the ground. No phone, no book. Just your body against The Earth. Let Her remind you what it means to belong here. Now for what I've been focused on as Jupiter finishes up in my 9th house...

For those new to astrology: This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when the astrology is loud. So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions of what you might notice in the outer world and how you might tap into it in your inner world. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts. As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical! For more on all this, read this post. You may also find the rising sign forecast helpful because this will narrow the range to where you're most likely to feel and notice the transits in your life. If you don't know your rising sign then fill in this contact form   and give me your birth date , place  and time  and I will send you a picture of your birth chart and an overview of your rising sign. If you'd like a comprehensive overview of your chart then book a reading with me  and I'll explain it all to you! A note on AI & my writing: I use ChatGPT as a writing assistant—not as a writer.

Jump to: Who is Jupiter? Jupiter in your chart Jupiter in the signs Jupiter in the houses Book a reading with me Jupiter , the largest planet in our Solar System, has an orbital period of approximately 11.86 years meaning it spends about a year in each sign of the zodiac. Jupiter: God of Thunder, Toast*, and Too Much of Everything If the cosmos had a booming laugh and a tendency to over-order at the buffet, that would be Jupiter. He is the Big God. The one with the thunderbolt. The one who throws lightning like confetti and expects you to be grateful  for the illumination. King of the Gods, patron of eagles and optimism, He doesn’t just walk into a room, He arrives with a brass band, three philosophers, and a vision board. Jupiter (or Jove, if you're feeling Roman and reverent) is the archetypal principle of More . More learning, more laughter, more belief, more risk, more stories, more dreams. He is the God who says yes  before the question is finished, who leaps before He looks, and assumes He can fly. He is not the God of neatness or restraint. Where Saturn says “No,” Jupiter says “Why not?” Where Mercury asks “Is it true?”, Jupiter says “It could  be…” And while Mars sharpens his sword, Jupiter’s already on horseback, headed for the border with a grin and a loaf of bread. A Few Things You Should Know About Jupiter (in case you meet Him at a party): He is diurnal  – He belongs to the day, the light, the bright “aha!” of realisation. He is masculine  – not in the stiff-upper-lip sense, but in the expansive , slightly boisterous way. Think uncle-at-the-wedding energy. He is hot and moist  – yes, really – which means He brings life, vitality, growth. And probably a steam room. He is the Greater Benefic  – the one you want showing up with presents. Even if He sometimes forgets the receipt. Jupiter Rules: Sagittarius and Pisces  – the adventurer and the mystic. Both prefer possibilities to details. He’s exalted in Cancer , where He swaps the battlefield for the dinner table and expands the family. But He doesn’t do so well in Gemini  and Virgo  – He finds their spreadsheets suspicious and their questions unsettling. And in Capricorn , He feels a bit like He’s been grounded by Saturn and is forced to pay attention to receipts and council tax. What Jupiter Wants He wants growth. He wants you to believe in something big—yourself, the divine, the possibility that Tuesday could hold miracles. He governs: The desire to understand  – through travel, study, and pondering the meaning of life over a decent curry. Joy and abundance  – not just the material kind, but the kind where your soul feels like it’s had a good meal. Spiritual elevation  – the impulse to reach for the sky not because you need to escape, but because something in you remembers the stars. But beware: He also governs hubris, overconfidence, and the belief that you can definitely keep all your New Year’s resolutions and also start a religion on the side. Jupiter Key Words (or, the items on His CV): Expansion  – like elastic trousers at Christmas. Optimism  – often illogical, always infectious. Magnanimity  – big-hearted, open-handed, sometimes open-walleted. Success  – not guaranteed, but fervently expected. Faith  – in life, in the divine, in that slightly wobbly bridge over the canyon. *Why Toast? The “toast” bit was a wink toward the idea that Jupiter isn’t just the God of thunder and grandeur, but also of celebration . He’s the one who would raise a glass (or a goblet the size of a chamber pot), declare “To new beginnings!” and insist on a speech before dessert. He doesn’t just rule , He revels. In other words: Jupiter is the God who toasts  the moment. It’s not literal toast (although, honestly, He probably loves  a good slice of buttery sourdough too - abundance and all that - and who doesn't?!). It's the act of cheering , of affirming life , of seeing something beautiful or meaningful and saying, “Yes. More of that, please.” In Summary: Jupiter is not subtle. He is not tidy. But He is magnificent. He is the part of you that wants to believe things will work out. That reaches for the horizon. That laughs loudly and forgives easily and trusts there’s more where that came from. He is the God of Meaning and Mirth, a divine wind in your sails, the thunder in your chest when you say yes  to something unknown. And when He speaks, He doesn’t whisper. He bellows. He declares. He toasts to your future and expects you to drink. Cheers to that. Jupiter in your chart Jupiter is the God of more —more meaning, more truth, more hope, more everything. But how that more  feels depends a great deal on where He lives in your chart, the condition He’s in, and whether He’s on His rightful throne or sleeping on someone else’s sofa. A Note on Sect If you were born during the day, congratulations: Jupiter is part of your team. He’s the Greater Benefic, and in a daytime chart He’s generally more comfortable throwing out blessings and opportunity. You may feel His optimism more keenly, or find that His gifts land more readily. He’s in his element—broad daylight, big visions, big faith. But if you were born at night, He’s not the captain of the ship. That’s the Moon’s domain, and Jupiter—still powerful—is slightly less sure of himself. He still wants to help, but He might go overboard. More isn’t always better. He can puff things up, inflate expectations, overpromise, or give you a glimpse of a beautiful future without quite explaining the fine print. Condition Matters Is Jupiter in His own sign—Sagittarius or Pisces—or His exaltation in Cancer? If so, He’s strong, confident, and well-resourced. Think high priest with a full pantry and a direct line to the divine. But in Gemini or Virgo, where He’s in fall, or in Capricorn, His detriment, He can feel out of place. The God of big skies doesn’t love small talk or spreadsheets. He may still bring growth, but it’s likely to come through hard-won wisdom, not effortless grace. The Blessing and the Bloat Wherever He lives in your chart, Jupiter brings expansion. That might be through luck and generosity—or through excess and inflation. He encourages you to believe in yourself, but if poorly placed, He may tempt you to believe you’re untouchable. He wants the best for you. But He doesn’t always know when to stop pouring the wine. The Shape of His Gifts In a well-supported position, Jupiter brings ease, confidence, joy, opportunity, and a sense of being guided. In a hard aspect with Saturn or Mars, He may come bearing burdens disguised as blessings—faith that’s tested, growth that’s painful, or optimism that turns brittle. In air signs, His gifts may come through ideas, teaching, or connection. In water signs, through emotional or spiritual insight. In fire signs, through bold action and creative belief. In earth signs, through tangible success and a grounded philosophy of life. Even Jupiter Has a Shadow Because He’s so focused on what could be , Jupiter sometimes overlooks what is . He can miss the details, gloss over the pain, or assume that everything will work out if you just believe hard enough. His shadow includes arrogance, indulgence, avoidance, and moral superiority. Still, even at His worst, He invites us to grow. To reach. To trust. He is the spirit of expansion, and in the end, whether by grace or grit, He teaches us how to open. Jupiter through the signs A Tale of Two Lights Jupiter is the God of growth, belief, and becoming. Where He lives in your chart shows where you’re invited to expand—but how easily that happens, and how it feels, depends on whether you were born by day or by night. In a day chart , Jupiter is on home turf. His blessings tend to come more straightforwardly—through confidence, faith, and the sense that life will rise to meet you. In a night chart , His gifts still arrive—but more often through subtle lessons, tested trust, or after a journey of disillusionment and realignment. It doesn’t mean you’re less lucky. Just that Jupiter, here, is less the triumphant king and more the wandering monk who finds gold at the edge of the desert. And remember—Jupiter’s sign is only one part of the picture. His house placement  shows the area of life where this growth plays out. His aspects to other planets  reveal whether He moves freely or is locked in a debate. So take this as a flavour, not a full recipe. Jupiter in Aries ☀️ Day Chart: This is Jupiter as the flame thrower. The God of Thunder picks up a sword and charges headfirst into the unknown, declaring it a holy quest. In a day chart, this placement brings bold beginnings, unapologetic optimism, and the unshakable belief that life is something to be conquered, not tiptoed through. You trust your instincts. You leap before you look—and most of the time, it works out, or it makes a great story. You grow by doing. By risking. By burning through inertia with the fire of belief. There’s a kind of divine impatience here, as if waiting were a sin against potential. Wisdom comes not from study alone, but from daring to test what you believe in the field of life. And yet—sometimes the loudest voice in the room isn’t the wisest. Jupiter in Aries must learn that growth doesn’t always need speed or noise. Sometimes it’s about where you're going, not how fast you get there. 🌙 Night Chart: Here, Jupiter’s flame is still bright—but it’s tempered. It flickers more often. This is the God of Growth learning to pace Himself. You still crave expansion, courage, and personal sovereignty, but there’s a bit more reflection baked in. The self-trust doesn’t always come first—it grows through trial. You may need to be wrong before you can be wise. You might spend years questioning yourself, only to realise you were capable all along. And when that realisation comes? It lands deeper. Truer. This Jupiter doesn’t shout. He kindles. You grow not by proving yourself right, but by discovering that bravery includes tenderness, too. You’re still a pioneer—but you may not see yourself that way until you look back and realise you were the one holding the torch. Jupiter in Taurus ☀️ Day Chart: This is Jupiter with soil on His hands and honey on His tongue. The God of Growth slows down, stretches out, and finds wisdom in the rhythm of the land. In a day chart, He brings ease in the tangible world—money, comfort, nourishment. You trust that what you need will come if you keep showing up, step by steady step. There’s an unshakeable belief in natural abundance. You grow through consistency. Through learning to listen to the body, the seasons, the ground beneath your feet. Life teaches you that pleasure can be holy and that patience is a kind of faith. The danger? Becoming too still. Jupiter here must remember that safety isn’t the same as soul. Sometimes the next layer of abundance only comes when you dare to let something go. 🌙 Night Chart: At night, Jupiter in Taurus is quieter still—more private, more internal. The craving for stability can become its own trap. You may hunger for certainty, but growth comes when you realise that true safety doesn’t lie in possessions or predictability. It’s found in presence. Your faith builds slowly, like trust after betrayal. The body teaches you how to stay, how to soften, how to receive. There’s often a deep well of creativity here that blooms once you stop trying to control the outcome. You’re learning that abundance doesn’t mean more . It means enough . And that enough is a sacred state. Jupiter in Gemini ☀️ Day Chart: Here Jupiter wears winged sandals and can’t stop asking questions. He grows through dialogue, banter, ideas that sparkle like sunlight on water. In a day chart, this placement brings a love of language and a joy in the exchange of thought. Curiosity is the compass. Connection is the fuel. You grow by learning from everyone and everything. By gathering stories like stones in your pocket. There’s a belief that every new encounter contains a piece of the divine. And often, it does. But wisdom here means learning to finish one book before you open five more. Depth as well as breadth. Your gift is translation—taking something vast and making it shareable. 🌙 Night Chart: At night, Jupiter in Gemini hums under the surface. Your mind might run fast, but your belief in yourself takes time to catch up. The fear of sounding foolish might stop you from speaking, even though your words could set someone free. Growth comes from trusting your voice—not because it's perfect, but because it's true. You may find that learning brings you back to yourself, not away from it. Meaning is revealed in the small moments: a glance, a sentence, a spark. You’re here to remind us that divine truth doesn’t only live in temples. Sometimes it’s on the bus, in the bookshop, or the last line of a poem. Jupiter in Cancer ☀️ Day Chart: Jupiter here is the hearth fire, the meal shared, the arms that hold. He grows through love, roots, and emotional safety. In a day chart, this is the placement of the nurturer, the wise parent, the heart-centred mystic. You believe in belonging—and you often create it wherever you go. Growth comes not from ambition, but from connection. You may be the one others turn to when they’ve lost their way, because you know how to keep a light on. The divine feels personal here—like a mother’s voice, or a dream that says, you’re not alone . But don’t forget to nurture yourself, too.

Through saying, this is who I am —and meaning it. You’re here to bring joy, to uplift, to celebrate the divine spark in yourself and others. But take care not to confuse visibility with value. You don’t have to be seen  to be sacred. 🌙 Night Chart: At night, Jupiter in Leo is quieter about wanting to be seen—but the longing is still there.

But don’t let perfection become your religion. Jupiter in Virgo must remember: even the divine makes a mess sometimes. 🌙 Night Chart: This Jupiter is more careful. He wants to help, but questions if he’s doing enough. You may be overly self-critical, always measuring your worth by your usefulness. Growth comes from softening.
