Asteria · the week, in one read
The loudest thing in your sky this week is expansion, sitting on your imagination and longing. 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 nowJupiter fuses with your Neptune (imagination and longing): merging directly: intense and hard to ignore
- Where it landsJupiter in your 10th house (about a year): expands and brings opportunity to career, reputation, and direction
- Where it landsNeptune in your 6th house (about fourteen years): dissolves and dreams through work, health, and daily routines
- Season underneathProgressed Moon in Virgo: A season of refinement, when the need is for order, usefulness, and tending the daily
2ndhouse year
your profection year
A 2nd-house year · age 109
Annual profections move the spotlight one house each year. At age 109, yours rests on the 2nd house: worth. resources. what is owned. what is valued. the body as instrument.
The sign on that house is Scorpio, so its ruler is your Lord of the Year. Mars sits in Taurus in your 8th 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 Mars: drive, conflict, heat, and surgery. Mars transits, returns, and retrogrades time the fights worth having and the energy you must spend.

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 9th house · belief, travel, the wider view. Start a study, a journey, a search for meaning beyond the familiar.
- 29 Jul 2026Full Moon in 6° AquariusIlluminates your 4th house · A home or family matter culminates: a move, a healing, a shift at the root. Something at the foundation is seen clearly, or released.
- 12 Aug 2026New Moon in 20° LeoBegins in your 10th house · career, reputation, your public path. Plant a seed for what you want to be known for.
- 28 Aug 2026Full Moon in 4° PiscesIlluminates your 5th house · A creative work or a romance reaches its peak. Celebrate what has bloomed, or release what has run its natural course.
- 11 Sep 2026New Moon in 18° VirgoBegins in your 11th house · friendship, community, the future you are building. Begin something with or for your people.
- 26 Sep 2026Full Moon in 3° AriesIlluminates your 6th house · A job, a habit or a health effort comes to fruition. Complete it. And shed the routine that no longer serves the body.
- 10 Oct 2026New Moon in 17° LibraBegins in your 12th house · rest, release, the inner life. A quiet New Moon: set an intention to let go and replenish.
- 26 Oct 2026Full Moon in 2° TaurusIlluminates your 7th house · A relationship reaches a turning point. A commitment is seen plainly, or an honest ending is named.
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 Black Moon Lilith (conjunction, 2.5° orb) · in your 10th house
- 28 Aug 2026Partial lunar eclipse at 4°54′ Piscesfalls in your 5th house · no tight natal contact
- 6 Feb 2027Total/Annular solar eclipse at 17°38′ Aquariusfalls in your 4th house · no tight natal contact
- 20 Feb 2027Penumbral lunar eclipse at 2°06′ Virgofalls in your 11th 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.
Mercury retrograde · in your 9th house
the conversation, the deals, the routes: all under review
Neptune retrograde · in your 6th house
dreams and dissolutions, turned inward; the fog thins, but only for the part of you that wants to see
Pluto retrograde · in your 4th house
transformation pulled deeper underground; the underworld work continues out of sight
The seven days ahead
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.
1
Mercury
sextileℹ natal Mercury
The feeling
This week there is a quiet opportunity around your how you think and speak, easy to miss if you are not looking.
What it is asking
This is thought arriving as an offer, the sextile that asks for a small effort in exchange for real movement. Nothing forces your hand here. But if you reach, the universe meets you halfway.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Mercury is making a sextile to your natal Mercury. Mercury is the mind. How thought moves. The bridge between perception and expression. Natal Mercury is the mind. How thought moves. The bridge between perception and expression. Through this contact, an open, easy channel runs between them; the cooperation is available, though it asks to be actively used.
How to navigate it
Mercury moves like a new tab opening in the mind: have the conversation, send the message, name the thought out loud. This is support, not pressure. The energy of Mercury is available to your Mercury 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 separating: past its peak; the task now is integrating what it has already surfaced.
2
Sun
sextileℹ natal Mercury
The feeling
This week there is a quiet opportunity around your how you think and speak, easy to miss if you are not looking.
What it is asking
This is vitality arriving as an offer, the sextile that asks for a small effort in exchange for real movement. Nothing forces your hand here. But if you reach, the universe meets you halfway.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Sun is making a sextile to your natal Mercury. Sun is the central self. The conscious identity being built across the lifetime. Natal Mercury is the mind. How thought moves. The bridge between perception and expression. Through this contact, an open, easy channel runs between them; the cooperation is available, though it asks to be actively used.
How to navigate it
Sun moves like a lamp turned toward one room of the house: let this part of you be seen and used, not just felt. This is support, not pressure. The energy of Sun is available to your Mercury 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 separating: past its peak; the task now is integrating what it has already surfaced.
3
Jupiter
conjunctionℹ natal Neptune
The feeling
This week, something is sitting right on top of your imagination and longing, impossible to look past.
What it is asking
This is expansion arriving at full strength, fused with the part of you it touches. The gift is room to grow. The cost, if you resist it, is overreach. You do not get to ignore this one. You get to decide how you meet it.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Jupiter is making a conjunction to your natal Neptune. Jupiter is expansion. Faith. The function of growth and the search for meaning. Natal Neptune is the function of dissolution. Imagination. The boundary between the personal and the universal. Through this contact, the two functions are fused into a single blended force; where one moves, the other moves with it.
How to navigate it
Jupiter moves like a door propped open wider than you expected: say yes bigger than feels comfortable, then build the structure to hold it. Jupiter is fused onto your Neptune 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.
4
Venus
sextileℹ natal Pluto
The feeling
This week there is a quiet opportunity around your underground power, easy to miss if you are not looking.
What it is asking
This is love arriving as an offer, the sextile that asks for a small effort in exchange for real movement. Nothing forces your hand here. But if you reach, the universe meets you halfway.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Venus is making a sextile to your natal Pluto. Venus is the function of love. What is valued. How beauty is recognized and pleasure is received. Natal Pluto is transformation. Death and rebirth. The function of the underworld. Through this contact, an open, easy channel runs between them; the cooperation is available, though it asks to be actively used.
How to navigate it
Venus moves like the right song arriving at the right moment: let yourself want what you want, plainly. This is support, not pressure. The energy of Venus is available to your Pluto 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 separating: past its peak; the task now is integrating what it has already surfaced.
5
Neptune
squareℹ natal Pluto
The feeling
This week there is friction around your underground power, the kind that will not let you settle.
What it is asking
This is dissolution arriving as pressure, the square that forces a choice. It feels like an obstacle and it is actually an engine. The discomfort is pointing at the exact place growth is being demanded. Lean in where you want to flinch.
The mechanics, in plain astrology
Transiting Neptune is making a square to your natal Pluto. Neptune is the function of dissolution. Imagination. The boundary between the personal and the universal. Natal Pluto is transformation. Death and rebirth. The function of the underworld. Through this contact, they meet at a right angle of friction; the tension is uncomfortable, and it is also one of the strongest engines of growth in the chart.
How to navigate 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. The friction is the point. Neptune is pressure-testing your Pluto. 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 still applying: building toward exact, so its strongest pull is ahead of you.
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 (Mars) or your profected 2nd house carry extra weight for the themes of your house year.
