Although this week has a New Moon in Gemini, the featured player is really Venus, who will travel through a series of adjustments, revelations and course corrections. Your heart and values are having a mini-makeover this week.

June 12 – Uranus square the Nodes of Fate (exact)

Although you’ve been feeling called to move into more intuitive Being and less attached to old rigid ways of operating, today this aspect is exact. If you’re moving in the right direction, you will feel aligned with the changes and if you’re stuck in an old paradigm, you may be presented with unexpected shifts, redirections and opportunities for the next few weeks. This is one of the signature aspects of 2026, representing the pull between the familiar path and the future that beckons you forward.

June 12 – Mercury enters its Retrograde Shadow

What transpires between now and June 29 when Mercury Retrograde begins will be fertile ground for review and revision. This suggests that events that unfold over the next several weeks are part of a larger story. Pay attention to what begins now, because you will likely revisit, revise or gain greater clarity during the Retrograde cycle ahead. Rather than rushing for answers, stay curious.

June 13 – Venus square Chiron

With Venus and Chiron at the final degrees of Cancer and Aries, you may become aware of old vulnerabilities around love, belonging, safety, visibility or Self-worth. Yet this is arriving to reveal what still needs your compassion and tenderness. Find ways to get the support and care you need and don’t turn your back on your beautiful Self.

June 13-July 8 – Venus in Leo

As Venus enters Leo it reminds us that the heart was never meant to hide — it encourages our creativity and playfulness, it wants us to love generously and wholeheartedly. This is not a subtle Venus. It seeks warmth, affection, loyalty, romance, celebration and genuine appreciation. There is a desire to be seen, cherished, and valued — not for what you do, but for the magnificent Being that you are.

This brings up a simple but profound question: Who would you be and what would you do if you trusted your heart’s desires more than your fear? Don’t miss the opportunity to show up, show out and play!


June 14 – New Moon in Gemini @ 7:54pm PDT

We have a New Moon in the curious, social sign of Gemini and this year, it’s as if you have a new pair of glasses and a whole new perspective. The New Moon is a time for new beginnings, to take an action directed toward what you want to increase, create or cultivate. You are planting seeds that will come to fruition as the days unfold.

This New Moon opens a fresh cycle of possibilities through conversations, info, choices and new viewpoints. Be open to new ideas, as we are now fully in Info-palooza with AI and all the new methods of accessing, creating and communicating. Explore the options, gather info and enjoy what stimulates you. Like a gem, your mind is multi-faceted, so discover what can enhance and inform your life in new ways.

The Ruler of the New Moon is Mercury in Cancer, adding a more reflective, intuitive tone to Gemini’s naturally curious and social nature. Rather than seeking info through constant interaction, you may prefer to nurture your overwhelmed mind by processing what you learn privately. Reading, journaling, studying, researching or connecting from the comfort of home may be more appealing than being out in the world.

Mercury in Cancer absorbs information through feeling as much as thinking, encouraging you to trust your instincts as you sort through new ideas and possibilities.

Since Mercury will be Retrograde from June 29 through July 23, then remain in Cancer until August 9, this is an extended journey of reflection, review and emotional insight. Pay attention to what emerges now, as you may be revisiting these themes for weeks to come.

The following days bring a remarkable sequence of aspects, with all three transpersonal planets lined up to greet Venus, one by one, day after day.

June 15 – Venus sextile Uranus

This can bring unexpected opportunities, surprising connections or welcome developments. Maybe you decide to spice up your relationship, style, presentation or indulge a desire you normally wouldn’t. Be flexible. Sometimes blessings arrive through doors you never intended to open.

June 16 – Venus trine Neptune

Allow yourself to receive. You have the opportunity to soothe any rough edges and bathe in bliss —spiritually, creatively, romantically, or simply through moments of leisure, as you nourish yourself in dreams, imagination and receptivity.

June 17 – Venus opposes Pluto

Something is bound to arise today that is calling for honesty or greater transparency. The heart has been on quite a journey this week and now arrives at a moment of truth. Something may emerge that brings greater clarity about a relationship, a desire, a value or a financial matter.

Pluto directs attention beneath the surface, highlighting what is hidden and revealing what is genuine, what is unsustainable, and what can no longer be ignored. Avoid power struggles and confrontations today if you can help it.

As life continues to unfold in unexpected ways, keep your heart open. Stay curious. Allow yourself to receive new info, new experiences and new opportunities. You don’t need all the answers right now. Trust what is being revealed. And take extra good care of your Self.

The path forward may not be what you expected, but it may be exactly what you need.

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

As the time continues to accelerate, this week reminds us that our growth is not only determined by what comes next, it’s also about focusing on what truly nourishes you. What you love and what makes life worth living. Let this be your compass, this week especially.

 

June 9 – Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer 

 

This is one of the most heart-centered alignments of 2026. The two benefic planets can bring luck, blessings, generosity or abundance into your life, filling your heart and lifting your spirits. In sensitive Cancer (sign of the mother, family and home), this activates joyful, nurturing energy that serves your deeper needs for care, connection and contentment. 

 

Cancer is an intuitive, emotional sign, that attunes to what feels right, rather than just what you think, or were told. 

 

Sidebar: Are you operating from your Inner Authority, deciding for yourself, or are you still following someone else’s program? You may be surprised at the beliefs you hold that were installed by family, community, friends or the collective. 

 

Your Venus and Jupiter are your true desires and most cherished ideals. Honor your Self by honoring them. 

 

Be open to the Goodness that comes your way, what matters to you and on your worthiness. With Chiron at 29º Aries, it’s prime time for Self-honoring, so no pushing away gifts and blessings that are meant for You. This is part of your receiving practice and abundance training. Allow, delight, enjoy! 

 

June 10 – Mercury square Saturn

 

Following yesterday’s gratification, now you face a reality check that calls for discernment, patience, and discipline. Plans may require refining, conversations may become more serious, and ideas may demand a closer look before you take the next step.

 

Maybe there’s a time sensitive issue and you fear you’ll be late, but because you don’t know the big picture, I suggest that you trust in Divine timing. Sustainable growth emerges when your ideas and intentions are grounded in practicality. Do the work that is required, and remember that patience is your friend when Saturn is involved. Results often appear later, but if you do the work, they will manifest.

 

Uranus square the Nodes of Fate

 

All week, we are at a collective crossroads, being pushed to release outdated operating systems that no longer work, internally and externally, and to review conditioned patterns that inhibit your growth and evolution. The goal is greater freedom, authenticity and liberation.

 

Venus and Jupiter remind us that our most cherished values can provide an anchor during times of uncertainty. Meanwhile, Uranus square the Nodes continues to disrupt familiar trajectories, illustrating that growth is often activated when life takes an unexpected turn. The challenge is not to predict the outcome of events, but to be present and show up with faith, intention and commitment as the world turns.

 

June 12 – Uranus square the Nodes is exact – and Mercury enters its Shadow phase

 

Mercury Retrograde – June 29-July 23. The shadow period (pre-Retrograde) begins on June 12, marking the territory Mercury will retrace as it backs up through July. You may find yourself revisiting, reviewing or refining what you begin during this time, allowing for course corrections where needed.

 

Don’t see this as negative. As circumstances evolve and new information emerges, adjustments can be made to better fit the changing landscape.

 

Uranus is removing stagnant energy and shaking loose what has outlived its usefulness, so trust that what is leaving, changing or being redirected is serving the Highest Good.

 

Keep the faith and stay tuned…

 

Again, if you are planning to make a large purchase, you may want to do it before Mercury turns Retrograde to avoid potential headaches (wrong item, mistake in ordering, broken, a lemon, etc). 

 

This Week’s Invitation

 

Focus on what matters most. Stay grounded in what and who you love, honor your Self, trust your wisdom, and remain open to new possibilities as life continues to evolve. 

 

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?” ~ Mary Manin Morrissey

We have a dynamic, multi-dimensional Blue Moon (second Full Moon in a month) in Sagittarius to close out May and then we dive into emo Mercury in Cancer the following day for the next two and a half months. If you are in transition, this week potentially offers a multi-dimensional mix of illumination, inspiration, emotional anchoring and a call to tend to your feelings with extra care.

 

May 31: Full Moon in Sagittarius (1:45am PDT)

 

Full Moons can bring culminations and hidden things to light, and in lively Sagittarius (the seeker, truthteller and adventurer), this big picture energy invites you to stretch beyond your usual boundaries and find meaning in your life. What is your why and your vision for your life? What inspires you will empower you, as it is your North Star that’s calling you forward.

 

The Invitation: Notice where you are craving freedom or a broader perspective in your life. The enthusiastic Sagittarius energy can give you the confidence to make a move where you have been reluctant before. It’s time to awaken if you’ve been playing small, settling for less than what you want, telling yourself stories that keep you stuck. This can liberate you from old beliefs that limit future possibilities and Sagittarius is the truthteller, so dare to speak up if there’s something you need to say.

 

Uranus conjunct the Gemini Sun and opposite the Sagittarius Moon.

 

This adds electric unpredictable energy to the mix. Sudden truths or revelations may arrive out of nowhere, breaking you out of a rut and creating an immediate shift in perspective. A breakthrough can sometimes feel like you hit the “easy button,” opening doors internally or externally. Think creatively and and expect the best.

 

If something unexpected occurs that throws a monkey wrench in your plans or knocks you off balance, get your bearings and know that the disruption is here to break up stagnant energy. Don’t try to recreate whatever has ended; you’re being called to a new direction. Focus on that.

 

The Full Moon trine Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and sextile Pluto in Aquarius.

 

The primal, unconscious Moon in harmony with the transpersonal planets creates a dynamic configuration that supports your next level of knowing in this fertile space. The potent alignment of higher frequencies supports your consciousness in the repatterning and recreation of your Being and your life going forward. Your job is to attune to where you are and your calling.

 

The Moon squares the Nodes of Fate.

The Full Moon squares the Lunar Nodes, creating a karmic crossroads between past patterns and your future evolutionary path. This is not a time to hide, withdraw or over-analyze the past (the South Node in Virgo). It is a call to actively embody the very essence of who you are becoming and embrace your wisdom.

 

Mercury in Gemini sextiles Chiron at 29º of Aries

At the final degree of Aries, Chiron amplifies urgency around healing the sacred wound to your will and identity. The Mercury-Chiron aspect facilitates healing conversations and mental breakthroughs, making it easier to express your vulnerability or reframe past pain into your unique wisdom.

 

May 31@ 6:21am – June 1@ 6:19pm PDT – The Void of Course Moon

Five hours after the Full Moon lunation, the Moon turns Void of Course early on May 31 until it enters Capricorn on the evening of June 1. This occurs when the Moon is between major aspects in different signs, and this one is especially long. Because most of the Full Moon takes place within the 36-hour Void Moon pause, the universe is putting the cosmic brakes on suggested actions in the external world.

 

The Void Moon is a time to pause regarding anything that requires a predictable outcome. When the Moon is void, the energy lacks the usual leverage to successfully fuel external projects, launches or new activities, so things that begin on a Void Moon either don’t stick or don’t unfold as planned. Often, nothing comes of your efforts, through no fault of your own.

 

Use this 36-hour window to be with any energetic downloads and feelings during the Full Moon and all day June 1, allowing who you are becoming and what you are feeling to settle into your nervous system before taking external actions. Good day for paperwork, creative work, routine tasks or organizing. Personal work or inner exploration is fertile during this period, but don’t make appointments or have important conversations, as they won’t likely turn out as planned, if they happen at all.

 

The next long Void Moon is June 5 @ 3:51pm – June 6 @ 5:43pm PDT. Whether or not you follow this practice is your choice. Some do, some don’t. Consider it a science experiment, but it’s all over the internet now, so I want you to know what it is and how to use it.

 

June 1- Aug 8 – Mercury in Cancer

The planet of the mind enters soft, sensitive Cancer – a feeling sign that desires connection and warmth. Your mental focus shifts into emotional processing, as you become more reflective and attuned to your needs and feelings. Mercury in Cancer favors heartfelt interactions with family, their inner circle, soul family and whoever they care for.

 

Because the Moon rules Cancer, your feelings may fluctuate and pay attention to your gut instincts, as your linear mind can rationalize, but your feelings are your truth. They let you know what’s working and what isn’t, so don’t dismiss them. Your feelings are your GPS, your most important messengers that speak the language of your soul.

 

Mercury turns Retrograde June 29 – July 23. The shadow period (pre-Retrograde) begins on June 12, the territory that Mercury will retrace when it backs up through July. If you are planning to make a large purchase, you may want to before the Retrograde (before June 12 is even better), unless you are born with Mercury Retrograde and then it’s your daily life energy; you know this well.

 

June 2 – Sun Sextile Saturn

This is a productive day to ground, organize and take practical actions. Saturn creates structures to allow your ideas to become real with aligned efforts, discipline and the long term in mind. Use the day to organize, plan, or commit to a specific path. If you feel ungrounded by recent transitions, this can act as an anchor, helping you stabilize and take practical steps toward creating a sustainable reality.

 

June 3 – Mercury square Neptune

The lines are blurred between reality and the visions you see with this duo in a square. It’s perfect for creative expression, poetry, writing, daydreaming, channeling, spiritual practices, leisure and rest, but be mindful and double-check the info if you’re doing detailed, important paperwork, scheduling or negotiating. If a boundary feels unclear, use the 24 hour rule to sit with it before taking action.

 

Soul Level Reflection for the Week Ahead

Transformation requires you to spend time in the unknown. Trust in the cycles of your life, even when the destination isn’t visible (yet). Do your unique genius work and express your Self in ways that are best for you.

 

Weekly Navigation: Focus your big vision (Sagittarius) and your current emotional needs (Cancer).

 

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Written by Lisa E Zimmerman

The week of May 22-29 continues to accelerate our awakening as old systems, assumptions and familiar ways of navigating become increasingly challenging. We are being pushed to grow and evolve by having to face new info, systems, decisions and changes that can feel stressful when they are not your idea. This is catalytic awakening, that and can be emotionally charged and exciting. But it’s a lot.

 

Because your nervous system can easily be triggered by the unexpected and the pace of incoming info, Self-care is primary, especially for sensitive types. Grounding, rest, breathwork, deliberate actions with extra space will serve you well and help you integrate new info and act with intention, so you can operate mindfully rather than in reaction. 

 

May 22 – Uranus conjunct the Sun is a pattern-breaker that brings a jolt to shock or surprise you, that redirects your thinking, activates new interests, perspectives or brings a radical change. The Great Awakener (Uranus) shakes up old mental frameworks and routines that have become stale to liberate you. To break you out of a rut. Anything unexpected is responding to a part of you that needs a wake up call in order to evolve. Remember, there is a greater purpose for any curveball you experience, even if you don’t see it in the moment.

 

You can also suddenly have clarity or a breakthrough, an opening, an unexpected opportunity or a solution that appears “just like that.” You can change a limiting belief. Uranus is here to impel you to be your Authentic Self, to claim your uniqueness, who you are underneath the conditioning that you embodied so you could fit in. It’s time to break out of those old constraints (talk about limiting!) that have kept you in hiding all these years. Get ready to emerge in a whole new way, as this is just the beginning of seven years of Uranus.

 

Mercury sextile Saturn helps to regulate the Sun-Uranus with grounding and discernment. While Uranus accelerates the mind, Saturn helps to organize it. This supports practical thinking, clear communications, planning, business matters, writing and the ability to separate facts from emotional or collective distortion. It favors maturity, patience and thoughtful decision-making.

 

May 24 – Mars sextile the Nodes of Fate supports forward movement and aligned actions that speak to your future. An encounter, opportunity or decision may feel fated and act as a catalyst to initiate movement necessary to move you toward your purpose or Destiny. Where life is trying to lead you. This is supportive energy for taking initiative, making a courageous choice or acting on something you know you need to do.

 

Sun square the Nodes of Fate. The Sun sitting between the past and the future indicates the collective crossroad as the old and new diverge. You can look at who you’ve been and who you are becoming, illuminating where old identities, attachments or familiar patterns are interfering with your future growth. Pay attention to what feels misaligned, redundant or hard to ignore, as life is revealing where change is necessary to move toward your Destiny.

 

Sun sextile Neptune is a gentle energy softens the atmosphere and invites you to connect with your soul. It is experiential, the energy of Oneness that heightens intuition, and supports your imagination, dreams, compassion and empathy. This is a beautiful time for spiritual practices, rest and leisure; to relax from the mental energy that can feel over-stimulating and relentless. Soothe your mind, your emotional body and your nervous system with meditation, binaural beats, nature, a salt bath or whatever brings you peace. Go within and feel your essence where no words are needed.

 

May 26 – Mars square Pluto is an intense aspect that can be volatile if conflict arises, so easy does it today unless you want a fight. Power struggles, rage, frustration and suppressed anger are easily triggered, with ensuing overreactions. Best case scenario: use these two powerful energies to work together to accomplish a major task that requires stamina and focus. Direct the energy in a productive way or chill out. But wait, there’s another Pluto aspect to follow on the same day…

 

Sun trine Pluto is perfect for sustained focus, problem solving, research, investigation, strategy or tasks requiring depth and mental presence. CSI. Highly intentional. Can bring intense and profound connections, clearing and purging. Use it with the Mars-Pluto energy to turbo-charge a project. There’s a lot of power here that’s available for you to direct as needed with consciousness.

 

May 28 – Venus square Saturn can be a reality check, a decision, an obstacle, restructuring, a $$ bill or a personal issue that deflates you. It may be a creative rejection, a breakup (personal or business), a relationship issue or conflict with a loved one. Relationships can be strengthened by getting real (and clear) — and if the relationship is shaky, it could end. Or maybe you want to be with others, but you have to work. The day doesn’t have to be heavy, but there will probably be some kind of adulting required. When you show up, take care of business and align with others, life unfolds more smoothly with connection.

 

Life is ripe with potential — maybe a little too much for some at the moment. Our bodies and minds aren’t used to inhabiting the current level of higher frequencies, but we are adapting. That’s the work, with one foot in the old world and one foot in the new.

 

Adapting is the keyword for moving through this high energy period successfully. You have your own personal rhythm and it’s up to you to create your life to fit your needs. This may feel simple or it may involve a learning curve, but I have faith that we are all here to move the planet forward.

 

You play a vital role in the creation of the emerging New Era, as you bring your unique gifts and contributions to the tapestry of the collective.

 

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
