Pluto moves like demolition, compost, a deep dive: let what is false die so what is true can regrow.

The loudest thing in your sky this week is dissolution, sitting on your love life and self-worth. Day to day, the Moon colors it with a tender, inward pull. Pluto is retrograde, asking you to revisit where power and shadow live.
The day in layers
A quick read of what is loudest today, what else is active, where slow planets are working in your chart, and the longer emotional season underneath.
- Right nowNeptune fuses with your Venus (capacity for love and pleasure): merging directly: intense and hard to ignore
- Season underneathProgressed Moon in Cancer: A season of deepening feeling, when the need is for safety, home, and care
A 2nd-house year · age 49
Annual profections move the spotlight one house each year. At age 49, yours rests on the 2nd house: worth. resources. what is owned. what is valued. the body as instrument.
The sign on that house is Gemini, so its ruler is your Lord of the Year. Mercury sits in Capricorn in your 9th house. Wherever the Lord of the Year sits is where this year's story concentrates. And transits to it (below) carry extra weight until your next birthday.
In your chart: the sign on your 2nd-house cusp and its ruler (year lord): where you natally look for security.
the year lord is Mercury: messages, contracts, commutes, and the stories you tell. Mercury retrogrades and transits to your natal Mercury are the year's edit passes.

The sky pivoting
The turns worth marking on your chart: eclipses that supercharge a degree, every new and Full Moon and the house each one lands in, and planets moving in reverse through your houses.
New & Full Moons ahead
Each lunation lands in one of your natal houses: the area of life it opens (new) or brings to a head (full).
- 14 Jul 2026New Moon in 21° CancerBegins in your 3rd house · your mind, your words, your local world. Start a conversation, a class, a writing habit.
- 29 Jul 2026Full Moon in 6° AquariusIlluminates your 9th house · A journey, a study or a long search culminates. You arrive somewhere: in mind, in belief, or in fact.
- 12 Aug 2026New Moon in 20° LeoBegins in your 4th house · home, family, your roots. Begin something at the foundation: the private base everything rests on.

- 11 Sep 2026New Moon in 18° VirgoBegins in your 5th house · creativity, romance, play, what delights you. Start something joyful that is purely yours to make.

- 26 Oct 2026Full Moon in 2° TaurusIlluminates your 12th house · Something long submerged rises to be seen, grieved and let go: a quiet, private completion away from the world.
Eclipses ahead
Each eclipse supercharges the degree it falls on for months either side. The ones that touch a natal point are the markers worth watching.
- 12 Aug 2026Total/Annular solar eclipse at 20°02′ Leolands on natal Sun (opposition, 1.8° orb) · in your 4th house
- 28 Aug 2026Partial lunar eclipse at 4°54′ Piscesfalls in your 10th house · no tight natal contact

Active retrogrades
Planets moving in reverse right now, framed by the natal house they're passing through. That's the department of your life the rethink is landing in.
the conversation, the deals, the routes: all under review
dreams and dissolutions, turned inward; the fog thins, but only for the part of you that wants to see
transformation pulled deeper underground; the underworld work continues out of sight

What is touching you most right now
The five transits carrying the most weight: major outer-planet contacts to personal points are weighted heaviest, then tightness of orb.
You notice what you actually value, in love or in general, underneath what you have been told you should value. The clarity feels earned, not sudden.
This is Pluto lightly touching your Venus, an easy opening to see your real attachments more clearly. It asks you to let go of one thing you have outgrown, quietly, and make room for what you actually want now. The releasing is calm, not painful.
Release the thing you have already outgrown; you likely know exactly what it is. This kind of quiet honesty about love and worth rarely comes this easily.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Pluto is making a sextile to your natal Venus. Pluto is transformation. Death and rebirth. The function of the underworld. Natal Venus is the function of love. What is valued. How beauty is recognized and pleasure is received. Through this contact, an open, easy channel runs between them; the cooperation is available, though it asks to be actively used.
Pluto moves like demolition, compost, a deep dive: let what is false die so what is true can regrow. This is support, not pressure. The energy of Pluto is available to your Venus now. But a harmonious transit rewards what you reach for. Use it deliberately; do not wait for it to act on you. The transit is still applying: building toward exact, so its strongest pull is ahead of you.
Love takes on a dreamlike, transcendent quality. You long for the ideal, the soulmate, the perfect union, and you may find it or may chase a beautiful illusion. The heart opens to something almost spiritual, tender beyond reason, easily enchanted.
This is Neptune crossing your Venus, dissolution meeting love and worth. It asks you to love with compassion and openness while staying clear about who is actually in front of you. It can bring transcendent romance or painful idealization, and the difference is whether you are seeing truly or only dreaming.
Love generously, and keep your eyes soft but open. This transit can deliver the most spiritual love of your life or the most disappointing illusion. Adore the real person, not the fantasy, and the dream becomes something you can actually hold.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Neptune is making a conjunction to your natal Venus. Neptune is the function of dissolution. Imagination. The boundary between the personal and the universal. Natal Venus is the function of love. What is valued. How beauty is recognized and pleasure is received. Through this contact, the two functions are fused into a single blended force; where one moves, the other moves with it.
Neptune moves like fog rolling in past the edges of a photograph: stop demanding a hard edge where there is a genuine blur, and trust what you sense before you can prove it. Neptune is fused onto your Venus for this passage, colouring that whole function. Author the change consciously rather than being carried by it. The transit is separating: past its peak; the task now is integrating what it has already surfaced.
An unusual person or an unusual taste catches your attention, and instead of dismissing it, you are curious. Your sense of what you like is quietly expanding.
This is Uranus lightly touching your Venus, an invitation to let attraction and taste stretch past the familiar. It asks you to follow the interest that does not fit your usual type, in people or in style, and see what it teaches you. Nothing needs to become permanent.
Flirt with the unfamiliar, literally or otherwise. A sextile costs you nothing to explore, and what you learn about your own taste is worth more than the specific outcome.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Uranus is making a sextile to your natal Venus. Uranus is the function of awakening. Sudden change. The frequency of the new. Natal Venus is the function of love. What is valued. How beauty is recognized and pleasure is received. Through this contact, an open, easy channel runs between them; the cooperation is available, though it asks to be actively used.
Uranus moves like lightning, a firmware update, a plot twist: break the pattern, try the weird angle. This is support, not pressure. The energy of Uranus is available to your Venus now. But a harmonious transit rewards what you reach for. Use it deliberately; do not wait for it to act on you. The transit is still applying: building toward exact, so its strongest pull is ahead of you.
This week things feel unusually easy around your love life and self-worth, a current moving in your favor.
This is expansion arriving as a gift, the open door of a trine. The only danger is wasting it by coasting. Grace you do not use evaporates. Spend this one on purpose, while the door is open.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Jupiter is making a trine to your natal Venus. Jupiter is expansion. Faith. The function of growth and the search for meaning. Natal Venus is the function of love. What is valued. How beauty is recognized and pleasure is received. Through this contact, they flow together in natural, unforced agreement. A genuine gift, so smooth it can be taken for granted.
Jupiter moves like a door propped open wider than you expected: say yes bigger than feels comfortable, then build the structure to hold it. This is support, not pressure. The energy of Jupiter is available to your Venus now. But a harmonious transit rewards what you reach for. Use it deliberately; do not wait for it to act on you. The transit is still applying: building toward exact, so its strongest pull is ahead of you.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Venus is making a quincunx to your natal Venus. Venus is the function of love. What is valued. How beauty is recognized and pleasure is received. Natal Venus is the function of love. What is valued. How beauty is recognized and pleasure is received. Through this contact, they share no natural relationship and must be consciously adjusted to one another, again and again.
Venus moves like the right song arriving at the right moment: let yourself want what you want, plainly. The friction is the point. Venus is pressure-testing your Venus. Rather than bracing against it, let what is no longer working give way, and rebuild that part of your life on purpose. The transit is separating: past its peak; the task now is integrating what it has already surfaced.
The year ahead
Every transit from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto that goes exact in the next twelve months: the dates the major influences peak. A planet that hits the same point more than once is crossing back over it in retrograde.
These exact hits are the year's activations: each date marks when a slow planet turns on part of your chart. Transits to your Lord of the Year (Mercury) or your profected 2nd house carry extra weight for the themes of your house year.
