On October 10, 2026, at 8:50 AM Pacific, the Sun and Moon meet at 17 degrees of Libra. That exact conjunction is what makes a New Moon: both lights on the same degree of the same sign, marking the start of a new lunar cycle. New Moons Are for Listening Before Planting At a New Moon, the Moon sits so close to the Sun that it disappears from view, and the night goes dark. That darkness is useful. Before you set an intention, it helps to sit in silence for a while and listen for

For the last five years, alongside my astrology and coaching work, I've been helping my husband grow and scale his staffing and recruiting agency. That has meant sitting across from a lot of people, on video calls and in interviews, at every stage of their careers. And near the end of almost every conversation, when I ask what matters most to them in their next role, I hear some version of the same three words: work-life balance. It's so common that it would be easy to just w

You may have heard about karmic relationships on social media, or from a friend describing her toxic relationship problems. But what is it, really? There's a lot of misconception and nuance around this topic, and today we're breaking it down in detail. It's a fitting one for the season. The Sun is in Libra starting September 22, the sign tied to partnership, balance, and the back and forth of one-on-one relationships. If there's a stretch of the year built for looking honestl

On September 26, 2026, at 9:48 AM Pacific, the Sun and Moon move into exact opposition at 3 degrees of Libra and Aries. That opposition is what makes a Full Moon: two points across the sky pulling against each other until whatever has been building finally becomes clear enough to deal with. Full Moons Are for Evaluating, Not Starting A Full Moon marks the point in the cycle where you get to see clearly what is already in motion, rather than start something new. That planting

This Virgo season, I’d like to write about the power of rituals and how it is connected to Virgo’s energy. Virgo rules the sixth house, which governs daily routine, work, and small maintenance tasks. That's the house of habit almost by definition, the part of the chart that handles the repeated, unglamorous mechanics of a life. So Virgo season lands as a natural seasonal prompt to look at what's actually running on repeat. But Virgo's deeper nature complicates the "just build

On September 10, 2026, at 8:26 PM Pacific, the Sun and Moon meet at 18 degrees of Virgo. That exact conjunction is what makes a New Moon: two lights on the same degree, at the very start of a new cycle, before anything has taken shape. New Moons Are for Planting, Not Harvesting A New Moon is what happens when the Sun and Moon meet at the same degree of the same sign, dark and invisible from where we stand, and it marks the seeding point of the lunar cycle. It's a moment for s

On August 27, 2026, at 9:14 PM PST, the Moon turns full at 4 degrees of Pisces. The Sun sits directly across from it at 4 degrees of Virgo, with Mercury a degree away at 5 degrees, close enough to be functioning as one unit. The Sun and Moon are in exact opposition, which is simply what a Full Moon is: two points across the sky pulling against each other. What turns this particular Full Moon into an eclipse is that it's landing close to the lunar nodes, the two points where t

On August 12, 2026, at 10:36am PST, there's a total solar eclipse at 20 degrees of Leo. What's Happening Up There A solar eclipse only happens when a New Moon lines up almost exactly with one of the Moon's nodes, the two points where the Moon's orbit crosses the Earth's path around the Sun. Most months, the Moon passes just above or below the Sun from where we're standing, so we get a normal New Moon and nothing blocks the light. On August 12, the alignment is close enough th

On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the Moon reaches fullness at 6 degrees of Aquarius. This one arrives with an unusual amount of structural support behind it, built from a Barbault basket configuration that links seven planets across four signs. Full Moons Are for Illumination Every Full Moon is a point of maximum illumination. The Sun and Moon sit in exact opposition, facing each other across the zodiac, and the side of the Moon we see from Earth is lit completely. Symbolically,

On July 14 at 2:43am Pacific, we get this New Moon at 21 degrees of Cancer, and it arrives while Mercury is retrograde in the same sign

I stopped talking to my mom for four months. It started with something almost laughably small. I got rear-ended, and my car needed to go into the bodyshop. My mom and I were on the phone working out where to take it, and she had a strong opinion about which shop. I disagreed, also strongly, and then I did what I have always done. I started looking for the middle ground, the compromise that would somehow be a win-win. It was not a dramatic blowup, but it escalated, and it got

Uranus moved through Taurus from May 15, 2018 until April 25, 2026. Now that the transit has closed, I want to look back at it from the calmer vantage point that comes once the dust has settled. Clarity arrives in hindsight. When we are inside an experience, we are mostly trying to survive it and keep our footing. It is only later, when we trace the whole arc, that the pattern reveals what we’ve become through that period. That is the value of reflecting on a transit like thi

Full Moon in Capricorn, June 29, 2026 at 4:56pm Pacific There is a particular kind of clarity that arrives when the Moon reaches her fullest expression, and this Capricorn Full Moon brings exactly that, illuminating the place where our deepest emotional needs meet the structures we have built to hold our lives together. The Sun in Cancer sits directly across from the Moon in Capricorn, and in that opposition, we are invited to look at both ends of a very human tension: the pa

On Sunday, June 14, 2026, a New Moon arrives at 24 degrees of Gemini. A new moon is the start of the lunar cycle, the moment the moon goes dark before it begins to fill back up over the next two weeks. Practically, it works like a reset. It's a natural point to set intentions, plant something you want to grow, and get clear on a direction before you act on it. The sign the new moon falls in tells you what flavor that reset has. This one lands in Gemini, the sign of thinking,

On Saturday, May 31, 2026, at 1:45am Pacific time, the Full Moon rises at 9 degrees of Sagittarius. A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon sit in opposite signs, and here the Sun in Gemini faces the Moon in Sagittarius, creating a dynamic tension between two signs that are both in pursuit of understanding, yet go about it in entirely different ways. Where Gemini gathers information, asks questions, and thrives in the exchange of ideas, Sagittarius takes that raw material an

Oliver Burkeman opens Four Thousand Weeks with a simple and disorienting fact: if you live to eighty, you have roughly four thousand weeks on this planet, and he offers that not as a warning but as an invitation to finally get clear on what actually matters, because you cannot do everything, have everything, or be everything, and the sooner you stop pretending otherwise, the sooner you can build a life that is genuinely yours. The New Moon in Taurus on May 16th at 1pm Pacific

On May 1, 2026 at 10:23 AM Pacific time, the Full Moon rises in Scorpio. This is one of the most complex and charged lunations of the year, layered with planetary aspects that press on every soft place we have been protecting. And yet, as is always the case with Scorpio, the intensity is not the enemy, but it is the doorway. What is a Full Moon? Every month, the Sun and the Moon find themselves on exact opposite sides of the sky, facing each other across the full breadth of

There's a version of manifestation that gets passed around like gospel: think it, believe it, receive it. And while it seems to be simple and appealing,I also think we deserve more than a half-truth dressed up as a spiritual law. As someone who works at the intersection of the practical and the mystical, weaving together Astrology, the Akashic Records, and the Bullet Journal® Method, I've seen what happens when magical thinking gets mistaken for actual deep inner work. I've a

There is a particular kind of morning that Aries season brings that shakes and wakes us up. Like the world remembered something overnight and is moving with a little more purpose because of it. I noticed it this week, and I thought: yes. Here we go! This New Moon in Aries on April 17th deserves more than a quick caption or a list of bullet points. There is a lot happening in the sky right now and so pour something warm, find a quiet corner, and let's talk about what this mome

There's something almost poetic about a Full Moon in Libra landing on April Fool's Day. Because if there's one thing this lunation is going to do, it's to invite you to see more clearly. The stories you've been telling yourself about who you are in your relationships, what you're willing to accept, and what you're genuinely bringing to the table are all being illuminated right now. And the sky is not being subtle about it. What a Full Moon in Libra Actually Means Every Full M
