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

There's a version of astrology that gets used to explain away bad behavior. "He's a Scorpio, so of course he's like that." "She's a Gemini, what did you expect?" While these may make for great memes on social media, this is a departure from the kind of astrology I practice. I fell in love with astrology because it was relationship-based. It’s the kind of astrology that matters in deepening my relationship with those around me, and that requires that I turn the lens inward fir

Spring Equinox | March 20, 2026 | 7:46 AM Pacific Sun enters Aries | A New Astrological Year Begins On March 20, 2026 at 7:46 AM Pacific, just two days after the Pisces New Moon, the Sun moves into Aries and a brand new astrological year begins with the Spring Equinox. The timing of these two events in such close succession sets a beautiful stage. What the Pisces New Moon asked you to feel, release, and plant in the quiet dark becomes the very ground from which Aries no

On March 18, 2026 at 6:23 PM Pacific, we will have a New Moon at 28 degrees of Pisces. This lunation is layered, rich, and it’s asking something meaningful of you. A New Moon is always a beginning, a portal, a moment to plant seeds. But this particular lunation is happening at the very edge of the zodiac, just two degrees from the Aries Point where a brand new astrological year begins. Add in the planetary picture surrounding it and you have a sky that is simultaneously dream

Most people think of the Moon in one of two ways. Either it is something mystical and symbolic, or it is something you pay attention to when setting intentions or manifesting goals. Both perspectives have value. But they often skip over something more practical and quietly powerful. The Moon is also a natural timing framework, one that has been present long before planners, productivity systems, or strategies for getting more done. Its value is not in prediction or superstiti

Something rare is arriving on the morning of March 3, 2026. A total lunar eclipse, a Blood Moon, rises at 12 degrees Virgo, turning the Full Moon a deep, smoldering crimson. This is not just a beautiful sky event. It is one of the most potent astrological moments of the year, arriving at a time when the heavens are already buzzing with extraordinary energy. And it happens to be the last total lunar eclipse until late 2028. Before we even look up at the Moon, we need to look a

On February 17, 2026, an Annular Solar Eclipse perfects at 28 degrees of Aquarius, with the Sun and Moon joined by Mars at 19° Aquarius. Unlike a regular new moon, the Solar Eclipse marks a significant new beginning. The Moon moves directly between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily obscuring the Sun’s light. In an annular eclipse, the Sun is not fully extinguished but ringed; its brilliance partially hidden behind the lunar shadow. Symbolically, this speaks to something i
