✨ Week Ahead Forecast: Stay Curious

What's happening this week?

Venus comes home. Mercury has something to say. And Jupiter is packing His bags.

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.

💬 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.

🌀 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.

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!

I use ChatGPT as a writing assistant—not as a writer. 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.
