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.

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. 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
