Weekly Reading for July 5 - 12, 2026: Venus enters Virgo
The week is basically front-loaded fun that turns into a lie-down. Sunday's Mars in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius is the strongest, most useful energy of the whole week, and it happens first, which is rude. After that, Cancer season keeps its foot on the emotional pedal the entire time (Sun in Cancer all week, Mercury retrograde parked in Cancer right next to it), so everything routes through home, family, and who's taking care of whom. Then the floor drops out twice midweek: Sun square Saturn on Monday makes everything cost more effort than it should, and Neptune stationing retrograde Tuesday turns the whole room to about 30% brightness. Venus slides into Virgo Thursday and spends the weekend making you audit the line between being helpful and being physically incapable of leaving something un-fixed. It closes Sunday night with a Cancer cazimi, the one legitimately clear moment in an otherwise soft-focus week. Key moments of the week: Sunday, July 5: Mars in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius (9:06AM) Monday, July 6: Sun in Cancer square Saturn in Aries (6:46AM) Tuesday, July 7: Neptune stations retrograde in Aries (6:55AM) Thursday, July 9: Venus enters Virgo (1:22PM) Friday, July 10: Venus in Virgo trine Chiron in Taurus (2:17AM) Saturday, July 11: Venus in Virgo opposite North Node in Pisces (9:09AM) Sunday, July 12: Sun conjoins Mercury (Cazimi) in Cancer (9:25PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for June 28 - July 5, 2026: Full moon in Capricorn and Mars moves into Gemini
The thing to understand about this week is that it's wired to double back on itself. Mars charges into Gemini wanting to move fast, talk fast, win the argument — and the second it lands, the sign it now takes orders from stops dead and starts walking backwards. Same trick on the other end: the Full Moon's landlord is Saturn, currently squatting in Aries, a sign it can't stand and can't pace itself in. So both of the planets screaming ACT are reporting to bosses who are either in reverse or completely out of their depth. Which means every instinct to floor it this week is coming off a faulty dashboard. The whole stretch asks for action and a re-examination of that action in the same breath. Genuinely irritating. Also the entire point. Humming under all the noise is one quiet question that Cancer season, Chiron in Taurus, and this Capricorn Full Moon are all asking at once: how much is actually enough. How hard does the grinding really need to be. What got absorbed in childhood about safety and what it costs — and is that ancient programming still quietly running the budget. That's the soft, tender thing underneath a very loud, very fast week. Key moments of the week: Sunday, June 28: Mars in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (12:50AM) Sunday, June 28: Mars enters Gemini (3:29PM) Monday, June 29: Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer (1:36PM) Monday, June 29: Full Moon in Capricorn (7:56PM) Tuesday, June 30: Jupiter enters Leo (1:52AM) Wednesday, July 1: Jupiter in Leo square Chiron in Taurus (10:23PM) Thursday, July 2: Mars in Gemini square North Node in Pisces (4:19AM) Saturday, July 4: Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini (2:07AM) Saturday, July 4: Mars in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries (8:43PM) Sunday, July 5: Mars in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius (9:06AM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for June 21 - 28, 2026: Cancer season starts
June has been a generous little exhale and this is the week the exhale completes before everything detonates again. Gemini season had us mentally lit up, auditioning new ideas, talking to strangers, updating the entire internal narrative on the fly — and frankly our brains are cooked. Cancer season rolls in Sunday morning like the lights coming up at the end of a party you mostly enjoyed. The energy drops a register. Suddenly you want to be home, or at least near the people and places that don't require performance. The interesting twist is that a tired brain makes you emotionally raw, and Cancer wants you raw — feeling things instead of overthinking them, paying attention to what your body does in a room before your mind catches up. This is a clarifying week if you let the discomfort be information. The bonus: the year-long Jupiter-in-Cancer transit that's been quietly healing one beat-up corner of your life is about to wrap, so it's a good moment to look back and notice how much less dire that corner feels than it did twelve months ago. Key moments of the week: Sunday, June 21: Sun enters Cancer (4:25AM) Sunday, June 21: Sun in Cancer sextile Chiron in Taurus (5:47AM) Wednesday, June 24: Sun in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces (6:13AM) Thursday, June 25: Venus in Leo trine Saturn in Aries (8:01AM) Thursday, June 25: Sun in Cancer square Neptune in Aries (6:38PM) Sunday, June 28: Mars in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (12:50AM) Sunday, June 28: Mars enters Gemini (3:29PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for June 14 - 21, 2026: New Moon in Gemini and the start of Cancer Season
The New Moon in Gemini kicks this off with the most usable fresh-start of the year so far, and the sky around it is mostly opportunities that won't bother to chase anyone down. The second half of the week opens up a long healing project that'll be running for the next seven years. So: don't sleep on Sunday night's new moon, don't panic at Wednesday's gut-check, and don't miss Sunday morning's preview of something that's been off the menu for a while. Key moments of the week: Monday, June 15: Venus in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini (6:52PM) Tuesday, June 16: Venus in Leo trine Neptune in Aries (11:40PM) Wednesday, June 17: Venus in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius (4:38PM) Friday, June 19: Chiron enters Taurus (5:18PM) Saturday, June 20: Uranus in Gemini square North Node in Pisces (3:50AM) Sunday, June 21: Sun enters Cancer (4:25AM) Sunday, June 21: Sun in Cancer sextile Chiron in Taurus (5:47AM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for June 7 - 14, 2026: Venus conjoins Jupiter in Cancer
On paper this is a soft week. Two of the most genuinely lovely pieces of astrology in the entire year land right in the middle of it, and you'll feel them — a warmth that settles into the part of you that's about home, safety, being held, being fed, being from somewhere. And yet this same week is going to locate the one tender spot you'd half-forgotten about and lean on it, because that's apparently the deal with feeling good in 2026: it comes to collect. The center of gravity is emotional, and it's sweet — almost suspiciously sweet, the way it feels when the kids are getting along so well you start checking for blood. Underneath all that good feeling, though, there's friction, and the friction is specifically about the story you tell yourself about doing it all alone, the part of you that's allergic to needing anyone. This week the closeness and the possibility and the actual pleasure of connection go knocking right on the door of that I've-got-it-handled identity, and the two of them don't entirely get along. Key moments of the week: Tuesday, June 9: Venus conjoins Jupiter in Cancer (3:58PM) Wednesday, June 10: Mercury in Cancer square Saturn in Aries (1:38AM) Saturday, June 13: Venus in Cancer square Chiron In Aries (1:23AM) Saturday, June 13: Venus enters Leo (6:47AM) Sunday, June 14: New Moon in Gemini (10:53PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for May 31 - June 7, 2026: Mercury enters Cancer
2026 doesn't let up. It's been cycle after cycle turning over, things ending, things starting, the ground rearranging itself under us about once a week, and all of us trying to absorb that as the soft, finite, easily-overwhelmed water-bags we actually are. A lot of it has been genuinely thrilling. It's also been exhausting, and if you've spent part of this year horizontal on a bathroom floor recalibrating, you're in good company. June is where the year finally exhales, and this week is the first real stretch of that exhale. It opens loud and then goes nearly silent. We're coming out of a Full Moon in Sagittarius — big, candid, allergic to subtlety, chasing the next horizon like it owes us money — and that carries through the weekend and into Monday. After that, the volume drops to almost nothing and stays there. Mercury slides into Cancer on Monday, which parks our heads in the same watery corner where Venus and Jupiter have been camped for a while now: the part of the chart that runs home, family, roots, who feels safe to you, and what you need in order to feel held. Jupiter's been doing slow repair work in that spot for nearly a year, in a place that was an absolute knife fight back in late 2024. So our mental center of gravity is drifting into a part of our lives that's been healing mostly out of view. Key moments of the week: Sunday, May 31: Full Moon in Sagittarius (4:44AM) Monday, June 1: Mercury enters Cancer (7:56AM) Tuesday, June 2: Sun in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries (6:48PM) Wednesday, June 3: Mercury in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces (6:49PM) Wednesday, June 3: Mercury in Cancer square Neptune in Aries (8:18PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for May 24 - 31, 2026: Full Moon in Sagittarius
This week is a tale of two completely different vibes and honestly, thank god for that, because if it were just the first half on repeat for seven days we'd be unwell. We're starting the week locked in, jaw set, ready to fight whoever needs fighting. And we're ending the week stumbling out of somewhere at 1am yelling that we love our friends. Both versions of you are correct. Both versions of you are needed. The trick is just knowing which days are which. The throughline, if there is one, is that some stuff that's been sitting under the surface for a while — a power imbalance, an unfair arrangement, a creeping resentment about something that's actually yours and you've been polite about — is going to come up to be dealt with, and not in a "let's circle back about this" way. More like a "we are going to settle this today" way. The good news is you have the staying power for it. The better news is that once it's settled, the rest of the week opens up into something genuinely lovely, possibly the lightest you've felt in months. Key moments of the week: Sunday, May 24: Mars in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces (7:51PM) Sunday, May 24: Sun in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries (10:21PM) Monday, May 25: Sun in Gemini square North Node in Pisces (1:07PM) Tuesday, May 26: Mars in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius (12:02AM) Tuesday, May 26: Sun in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius (11:52AM) Thursday, May 28: Venus in Cancer square Saturn in Aries (11:02PM) Sunday, May 31: Full Moon in Sagittarius (4:44AM) Sunday, May 31: Mercury in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (8:32PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for May 17 - 24, 2026: Gemini season begins
Four planets change signs in the span of about 72 hours. Mercury, Mars, Venus, the Sun: all of them, in a row, switching costumes between Sunday and Wednesday. None of this is a chill little pivot. By Thursday you will look up from whatever you were doing on Sunday and feel like someone changed the channel on your life. Different show, different cast, different lighting, different mood. You're still in your living room. Everything else is new. Key moments of the week: Sunday, May 17: Mercury enters Gemini (6:27AM) Sunday, May 17: Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (2:03PM) Sunday, May 17: Mercury conjoins Uranus in Gemini (8:09PM) Monday, May 18: Mars enters Taurus (6:26PM) Monday, May 18: Venus enters Cancer (9:05PM) Tuesday, May 19: Mercury in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries (12:04AM) Tuesday, May 19: Venus in Cancer sextile Mars in Taurus (1:36AM) Tuesday, May 19: Mercury in Gemini square North Node in Pisces (11:44AM) Tuesday, May 19: Mercury in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius (6:52PM) Wednesday, May 20: Sun enters Gemini (8:37PM) Friday, May 22: Venus in Cancer square Neptune in Aries (2:31AM) Friday, May 22: Sun conjoins Uranus in Gemini (10:26AM) Friday, May 22: Mercury in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries (2:02PM) Friday, May 22: Venus in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces (6:41PM) Sunday, May 24: Mars in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces (7:51PM) Sunday, May 24: Sun in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries (10:21PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for May 10 - 17, 2026: Mercury Cazimi and New Moon in Taurus
This is one of the nicest weeks of the year, genuinely, and after the absolute meat grinder of Aries season — all that knives-out, white-knuckled, fighting-for-your-life chaos that had us crawling across the finish line — the sky is finally handing out a soft landing with actual room to feel it this time. The first half of the week has this quietly hopeful, things-are-possible quality to it where the narrative in your head stops sounding like a true crime podcast about your own life and starts sounding more like someone who actually likes you is doing the voiceover. Mid-week brings a moment of mental clarity where a thought you've been chewing on finally arrives in the right order, and then Saturday delivers a really lovely New Moon in Taurus that's about claiming pleasure and connection and feeling good in your body while carrying around old pain that is never fully going to leave you, because the deal isn't that you fix the wound first and then earn the right to enjoy your life — the deal is that the good stuff has to make room for the wound and the wound has to make room for the good stuff, and this week is genuinely interested in helping us live inside that arrangement instead of forever postponing it. By the time Sunday rolls around, a kind of plot-twist conversation cracks something open and starts pointing us toward what's next, which is a whole new chapter we'll be settling into for years. Key moments of the week: Sunday, May 10: Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (10:13PM) Wednesday, May 13: Mercury in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (12:43AM) Thursday, May 14: Sun conjoins Mercury in Taurus (10:24AM) Saturday, May 16: Mars conjoins Chiron in Aries (3:33PM) Saturday, May 16: New Moon in Taurus (4:00PM) Sunday, May 17: Mercury enters Gemini (6:27AM) Sunday, May 17: Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (2:03PM) Sunday, May 17: Mercury conjoins Uranus in Gemini (8:09PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app

Weekly Reading for May 3 - 10, 2026: Pluto retrograde starts
After months of astrology that has asked us to summon endurance we didn’t think we had, this week is pretty chill. Last week's Full Moon in Scorpio dragged us by the hair to the edge and made us look at every dead thing in our lives. We did that. We're tired. May has the audacity to just be...mostly fine. May and June are sneakily the most forgiving stretch of the year, which doesn’t mean it’s entirely uncomplicated (when is life ever like that) but it does mean we are less likely to feel like we’re actively on fire every minute of every day. Love that for us. Here’s what we are dealing with this week: the first half of the week feels like espresso. Motivated, pushy, weirdly certain of ourselves, a little obnoxious if we're honest. The second half drops us into something murkier that’s more about looking under our own floorboards than rearranging anyone else's furniture. Key moments of the week: Monday, May 4: Mars in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer (10:08PM) Tuesday, May 5: Mercury in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius (6:08PM) Tuesday, May 5: Mercury in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces (6:40PM) Wednesday, May 6: Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius (11:34AM) Sunday, May 10: Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (10:13PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website iPhone and iPad apps Android app
