Sunday May 31 begins with the full Moon in Scorpio, kicking off the week with a lunar pivot that turns us toward integration, refinement, and release. The Moon will be waning but still bright all week, starting out in debilitation, and giving us a sense of perspective and separation from the churning of the world as it navigates through the empty signs of the zodiac. The Moon traverses the zodiac alone this week, but is boosted by the aspects of benefic planets like Mercury, Venus, and ...

June 2026 marks a major turning point as Jupiter enters exaltation in Cancer, beginning to loosen the grip of six difficult years dominated by Saturn’s contraction and limitation. While the final pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga from June 8–18 continues themes of fate, pressure, and imbalance, the overall atmosphere gradually shifts toward growth, connection, creativity, and renewed optimism. Venus joining Jupiter in Cancer amplifies emotional healing and support, while Mars’ move from Aries into Ta...

Momentum with Perspective We follow the Moon past Ketu on Sunday, May 24th, which breaks the state of Kala Amrita Yoga’s second pulse this Spring. This rare combination tends to bring us to the brink of fate, with the challenge being to surrender to the forces we find to be out of our control. The last time this combination manifested with Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo was in 1859! As the Moon moves beyond Ketu, there may be a noticeable sense of psychological release, wider perspective, o...

This week carries the feeling of emerging from a long corridor of pressure into a space where momentum begins to return. The Moon waxes after Saturday’s new Moon in Taurus while Venus, Mercury, and the Sun settle into their new signs following the major shifts of May 14. With Rahu in Aquarius, Saturn in Pisces, and Mars in Aries occupying adjacent signs, the atmosphere remains intense, but purposeful. These placements favor difficult work, strategic action, disciplined effort, and the w...

The Aries energy ripens through the first half of the week, powering up the Mercury + Sun pairing that moves to Taurus on Thursday May 13, just after Venus vacates Taurus and moves to Gemini earlier that day. This week is peppered with new shifts that click us into next chapters. Find stability in what is working as you release the unstable and defunct. The Moon is in its final waning stage this week, which can make us feel spent physically and mentally. In addition, the Moon visits the...

This week might look calm on the surface — but it’s not a week to check out. It’s a week to ride the calm out, while Mars and Saturn finish their work and Mercury flies close to the Sun. There’s pressure here, but it’s focused. Our work is to refine, clarify, and prepare for what is about to move. We begin with a bright but waning Moon traversing the currently lonely half of the zodiac, giving us a breather from the busy signs ranging from Pisces to Cancer. This is a strong tide ...

May acts as a transitional bridge between unstable hesitation and emerging growth, marked by Jupiter’s final stretch in Gemini, multiple planetary sign shifts mid-month, and the pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga emphasizing fate over free will. The month begins with a complex and pressured Full Moon in Libra, requiring strategic balance, and evolves into a more active and opportunity-filled second half as Venus and Mercury exchange signs and Mars regains strength in Aries. While momentum builds, Satu...

BALANCE PRESENCE & PLANNING As Mercury gains strength and the Full Moon peaks, insight translates into movement and change. The main features of this week ahead through the vedic astrology lens are the breaking of our first pulse of the dramatic Kala Amrita Yoga on Monday as the waxing Moon moves to Virgo, Mercury changing signs from Pisces to Aries on Wednesday, April 29th, and the full Moon in Libra on Friday, May 2nd. The Moon moving past Ketu on Sunday and Monday and into ...

This week has a very different tone — less raw pressure, more movement, negotiation, and karmic unfolding. There’s still intensity, but it’s smarter, more fluid, more consequential. The Moon waxes this week, with Sunday showing an exalted Sun alone in Aries after both Venus and Moon pass into Taurus on Saturday night. Venus will be in dignity in Taurus from April 19 - May 14, bringing stability to relationships and negotiations. Also on Sunday, Mars moves through the degree that Saturn holds...

This week begins with Mercury freshly entered into the press of planets in Pisces, adding momentum to the pressure building as Mars moves in for conjunction with Saturn. The waning Moon starts the week in Capricorn and moves through the extremely active sector of the zodiac, finishing the week in Aries after the new Moon on April 17th, joining the Sun, who moves into its exaltation sign on April 14th. All of this combined sets the stage for a week of stormy astrological weather that could res...
