Astrology, Tarot and More

The outer planets are now aligned in an exceptionally rare Cradle (or Basket) configuration.  Does it connect with your chart? And - there is more to this week! 

The stories we tell ourselves are sooo powerful! "I failed yet again. I'm a failure". "Love means sacrifice". "I will never find anyone to love me. There isn't much to love". 

We come up with a story based on our past, and it starts defining our future.  Often, this means we got locked into a dominant energy signature in our natal chart, expressing its challenging side. But, we are all beautiful and complex, with MANY energies available to us.

Mercury retrograde meets Neptune retrograde this week. Learn what to avoid, what to embrace, and how to make the most of this reflective, inward-turning week.

The Full Moon is the time to celebrate your successes and progress this lunar cycle.  Give thanks for any and all blessings in your life -  and then release what no longer serves you.

This Full Moon, in career-oriented, ambitious Capricorn is a great time to set intentions to balance work and family, release fears of incompetence, especially at work, and to ask fears of getting older to be lifted from you. 

The highlight of 2026 arrives this month:  the outer planets form a spectacular alignment.  True, Mercury spends the first 3+ weeks of the month in retrograde, but even with that, the stars are up to some exciting things. 

Jupiter enters Leo, Mercury goes retrograde, and a Full Moon in Capricorn shines at us from the skies - all on the same day!  Plus, pay attention to the Mars-Uranus conjunction this week. 

As the Zodiac wheel turns, we get our annual reminder to “try on” the energies of each sign. When the Sun is in Cancer, it encourages us to (re)connect with our roots, to nurture our body and soul, and to appreciate all things "home" and "family". Sometimes it’s the family we’re born into, and sometimes it’s the one we create, including the circle of friends who nourish our soul!

Here are a few suggestions on how to tap into this season's energies...

Curated by an astrologer, this gift guide will help you find that special gift for your Cancerian friend or a loved one. Or, if you're a Cancer yourself, you might see something that speaks to you here. 

Enjoy!

This is a quieter week - a good opportunity to slow down before next week's mega energies.   

This New Moon is THE day of the year to set intentions for improved communication or writing with ease; improved relationship with siblings or neighbours; increased social circle, and - for all of us anxious drivers out there - reduced stress when driving!  

This week, Venus sextile Uranus and Venus trine Neptune make Monday and Tuesday two of the best days of the year for love and romance — and an Opportunity Period on Tuesday is perfect for anything you want to grow and succeed.

Plus: the Sun enters Cancer on June 21, and Mercury begins slowing down ahead of its June 29 retrograde.
