weekly astrology

Monday 27th July – Sunday 2nd August 2026

Theme: Expansion requires mindfulness

The Sun approaches Jupiter this week and exactly conjuncts this benefic planet on Wednesday. Take opportunities that present themselves knowing there is much work to be done to ground this vision in reality. Saturn in Aries also asks us to anchor our enthusiasm to realistic outcomes. The Moon in Capricorn embodies helpful pragmatism this week. Jupiter and the Sun move away from the magnetizing pull of Pluto opposition enabling more openings as power dynamics are tempered. The Moon moves into Pisces on Friday putting us in touch with our vulnerabilities and others. Venus opposes the Moon on Sunday bringing some friction in relationships whereby our own internal dynamics are being mirrored back to us.

Week beginning July 13 2026

Theme: New beginnings

It’s always heartening to know when the new moon begins because with this phase, fresh energy comes into daily life to accomplish tasks: it’s a growing, initiating time that reflects the natural rhythms of life and brings optimism. There is a beneficial trine between normal planetary antagonists – Mars, Uranus trine Pluto and Juno. Unlikely, but strong partnerships can be an outcome of this combination. Chiron is the T in the T-Square with Pluto/Juno and Jupiter/Hygeia inviting us to work on inner healing as a priority in dealing with the instabilities and changes we experience in life.

Week beginning 29 June 2026 by Wangmo

Theme: Moon and mind gazing

Today is the height of emotional excitement and activity with the full Moon reaching it’s peak this evening ESDT USA and Mercury having just gone retrograde. It’s a day to be mindful and mantra focused for opening your mouth and/or reacting can be a liability on a day like today. Also be careful what you wish for. Set your intentions carefully. The lunar energy begins lessening on Tuesday as a more integrative cycle begins. Mars forms a square with the Moons nodes on Tuesday: expect some realignment in direction. The Moon moves from Sagittarius into Pisces during the course of the week from external activity to internal reflection. Saturday is a quieter day with the Moon Void of Course from 10.25am until 11:07am the next day.

Mercury is retrograde until July 23rd when it goes direct. In this period of time it’s an opportunity to reflect on how you and what you are communicating. With Mercury in Cancer it’s an opportunity to look at your habits of communication and see how you can be more observant about what propels you to speak. Avoid signing contracts at this time.
