Weekly Reading for October 4 - 10: New Moon in Libra

STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family ·

2026/10/05

Venus stationed retrograde on Saturday, so we're now one full week into the stretch of the year where everything we want, everything we value, and everyone we're attached to gets dragged into a windowless conference room for a performance review. Venus retrograde never stops at asking what you want. It asks why you want it, and then it sits there with its arms crossed, unimpressed by "because I've always wanted it" or "because that's what a person like me is supposed to want." It wants the answer

Here’s hoping we're all walking into this week without having burned any bridges we didn't mean to burn over the full moon in Aries weekend. If you did, you're in good company, and the rest of the week isn't exactly planning to calm down. Mars changed signs on Sunday. Mercury changes signs on Wednesday. And on Saturday, Venus stations retrograde, which I've been talking about for a month and which is finally here.Almost everything else this week is either setting those up or reacting to them. Mars

Weekly Reading for September 20 - 27: Libra Season...

STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family ·

2026/09/21

Libra season starts Tuesday evening, and every year this is the stretch where we take stock of what's out of balance, what's getting too much of our energy, what's getting none of it, and why we've been letting it ride. It's harvest time, we're heading into the last quarter of the year, and the question on the table is what still needs doing and what's the best use of our time and effort from here. Libra likes to sit with that question, weigh everything, get it exactly right before moving. This week

2026/09/14

This is the week the fall's relationship curriculum stops being a rumor and becomes your problem. We've been talking about the Venus retrograde like it's weather coming in from three states over, and now it's in the driveway. Venus is in Scorpio, moving slow, sitting in her least favorite outfit, and on Tuesday she squares Pluto for the first of three times between now and December. Which means whatever has been feeling charged in your closest relationships since the end of August, the thing that

2026/09/07

This week is a Thursday with six other days attached to it. Almost everything that matters happens on September 10th: a new moon in Virgo, Venus leaving Libra for Scorpio, Mercury leaving Virgo for Libra, and Uranus stationing retrograde, all in one day, like the sky decided to do its whole quarterly review in a single afternoon. And unlike some weeks where the big headlines happen somewhere far away from your daily life, you're going to feel all of this. Venus and Mercury are personal planets. When

2026/08/24

This is the week Pisces eclipses end, and they are not leaving through the gift shop. Friday's full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces is the last one we'll have in this sign for many years, and it's going out in a direct square to Uranus, which is a bit like a houseguest who's been staying with you since 2023 announcing their departure by pulling the fire alarm on the way out.If you've been here a while, you know the Pisces corner of your life has been under construction for years. Saturn moved through

2026/08/10

We've been circling this week all year, and now it's here: the solar eclipse in Leo, Wednesday, midday, no take-backs. Eclipses are the astrology of "everything was fine and then suddenly it wasn't fine, it was different." They don't ask for your input. They just rearrange the furniture while you're still sitting on it. And this one is doing its rearranging with the south node, which is the part of the sky that deals in the old familiar stuff we cling to because it's known, not because it's good

Weekly Reading for July 26 - August 2, 2026: Jupiter...

STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family ·

2026/07/27

Jupiter is why everything is currently printing at 200%. It moved into Leo a few weeks ago and started inflating whatever it landed on, and this week the Sun catches all the way up and sits directly on top of it. That happens once every twelve years. So whichever part of your life has been doing the most lately: it's about to do more.Worth being clear about what Jupiter actually does, because it has a reputation as the nice one. It is nice. It's also just an amplifier, and amplifiers are famously

2026/07/21

This is maybe the biggest week in a game-changing year, and it’s no time to be timid (which, by the end of the week, you definitely won’t feel like doing anyway). The setup: Four of the slowest, heaviest planets in the sky have spent years crawling into a formation that finally clicks together now, all of them parked in brand-new signs, all of them in a weirdly cooperative arrangement that only comes around every few generations. The last time two of these particular ones got together like this, it

This week asks you to start something new while missing roughly a third of the information, and it is dead serious about both parts. Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, which means the old emotional stories, the ones you've told so many times they calcified into biography, are getting pulled back out of the drawer and re-read with fresh eyes. Some of the details were wrong. Some of the narration was somebody else's voice. And right into the middle of that revision process drops a new moon in the exact

2026/07/05

The week is basically front-loaded fun that turns into a lie-down. Sunday's Mars in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius is the strongest, most useful energy of the whole week, and it happens first, which is rude. After that, Cancer season keeps its foot on the emotional pedal the entire time (Sun in Cancer all week, Mercury retrograde parked in Cancer right next to it), so everything routes through home, family, and who's taking care of whom. Then the floor drops out twice midweek: Sun square Saturn on

STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family ·

2026/06/29

The thing to understand about this week is that it's wired to double back on itself. Mars charges into Gemini wanting to move fast, talk fast, win the argument — and the second it lands, the sign it now takes orders from stops dead and starts walking backwards. Same trick on the other end: the Full Moon's landlord is Saturn, currently squatting in Aries, a sign it can't stand and can't pace itself in. So both of the planets screaming ACT are reporting to bosses who are either in reverse or

2026/06/21

June has been a generous little exhale and this is the week the exhale completes before everything detonates again. Gemini season had us mentally lit up, auditioning new ideas, talking to strangers, updating the entire internal narrative on the fly — and frankly our brains are cooked. Cancer season rolls in Sunday morning like the lights coming up at the end of a party you mostly enjoyed. The energy drops a register. Suddenly you want to be home, or at least near the people and places that don't

2026/06/15

The New Moon in Gemini kicks this off with the most usable fresh-start of the year so far, and the sky around it is mostly opportunities that won't bother to chase anyone down. The second half of the week opens up a long healing project that'll be running for the next seven years. So: don't sleep on Sunday night's new moon, don't panic at Wednesday's gut-check, and don't miss Sunday morning's preview of something that's been off the menu for a while.Key moments of the week:Monday, June 15: Venus in

On paper this is a soft week. Two of the most genuinely lovely pieces of astrology in the entire year land right in the middle of it, and you'll feel them — a warmth that settles into the part of you that's about home, safety, being held, being fed, being from somewhere. And yet this same week is going to locate the one tender spot you'd half-forgotten about and lean on it, because that's apparently the deal with feeling good in 2026: it comes to collect.The center of gravity is emotional, and it's

2026 doesn't let up. It's been cycle after cycle turning over, things ending, things starting, the ground rearranging itself under us about once a week, and all of us trying to absorb that as the soft, finite, easily-overwhelmed water-bags we actually are. A lot of it has been genuinely thrilling. It's also been exhausting, and if you've spent part of this year horizontal on a bathroom floor recalibrating, you're in good company.June is where the year finally exhales, and this week is the first real

This week is a tale of two completely different vibes and honestly, thank god for that, because if it were just the first half on repeat for seven days we'd be unwell. We're starting the week locked in, jaw set, ready to fight whoever needs fighting. And we're ending the week stumbling out of somewhere at 1am yelling that we love our friends. Both versions of you are correct. Both versions of you are needed. The trick is just knowing which days are which.The throughline, if there is one, is that

Four planets change signs in the span of about 72 hours. Mercury, Mars, Venus, the Sun: all of them, in a row, switching costumes between Sunday and Wednesday. None of this is a chill little pivot. By Thursday you will look up from whatever you were doing on Sunday and feel like someone changed the channel on your life. Different show, different cast, different lighting, different mood. You're still in your living room. Everything else is new.Key moments of the week:Sunday, May 17: Mercury enters

This is one of the nicest weeks of the year, genuinely, and after the absolute meat grinder of Aries season — all that knives-out, white-knuckled, fighting-for-your-life chaos that had us crawling across the finish line — the sky is finally handing out a soft landing with actual room to feel it this time. The first half of the week has this quietly hopeful, things-are-possible quality to it where the narrative in your head stops sounding like a true crime podcast about your own life and starts

After months of astrology that has asked us to summon endurance we didn’t think we had, this week is pretty chill. Last week's Full Moon in Scorpio dragged us by the hair to the edge and made us look at every dead thing in our lives. We did that. We're tired. May has the audacity to just be...mostly fine. May and June are sneakily the most forgiving stretch of the year, which doesn’t mean it’s entirely uncomplicated (when is life ever like that) but it does mean we are less likely to feel like we’re
