Asteria · the week, in one read
The loudest thing in your sky this week is dissolution, pulling against your growth and faith. 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 pulls against your Jupiter (faith and where you reach for more): polarity: comes to a head, balance needed
- Season underneathProgressed Moon in Taurus: A season of settling, when the need is for security, comfort, and steadiness
10thhouse year
your profection year
A 10th-house year · age 33
Annual profections move the spotlight one house each year. At age 33, yours rests on the 10th house: the public. the career. the legacy. the mountain.
The sign on that house is Taurus, so its ruler is your Lord of the Year. Venus sits in Aries 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 Midheaven and the year lord: your natal ambition shape.
the year lord is Venus: love, money, art, and alignment with what you actually value. Venus transits, especially retrogrades, rename what is worth keeping.

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 11th house · friendship, community, the future you are building. Begin something with or for your people.
- 29 Jul 2026Full Moon in 6° AquariusIlluminates 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.
- 12 Aug 2026New Moon in 20° LeoBegins in your 12th house · rest, release, the inner life. A quiet New Moon: set an intention to let go and replenish.
- 28 Aug 2026Full Moon in 4° PiscesIlluminates your 7th house · A relationship reaches a turning point. A commitment is seen plainly, or an honest ending is named.
- 11 Sep 2026New Moon in 18° VirgoBegins in your 2nd house · your money, your values, your sense of worth. Plant a seed for stability and self-respect.
- 26 Sep 2026Full Moon in 3° AriesIlluminates your 8th house · Something deep surfaces into the light: a shared resource, a bond, a buried truth, to be faced, and freed.
- 10 Oct 2026New Moon in 17° LibraBegins in your 3rd house · your mind, your words, your local world. Start a conversation, a class, a writing habit.
- 26 Oct 2026Full Moon in 2° TaurusIlluminates your 9th house · A journey, a study or a long search culminates. You arrive somewhere: in mind, in belief, or in fact.
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 Chiron (conjunction, 2.2° orb) · in your 12th house
- 28 Aug 2026Partial lunar eclipse at 4°54′ Piscesfalls in your 7th house · no tight natal contact
- 6 Feb 2027Total/Annular solar eclipse at 17°38′ Aquariuslands on natal Chiron (opposition, 0.2° orb) · in your 6th house
- 20 Feb 2027Penumbral lunar eclipse at 2°06′ Virgolands on natal Saturn (opposition, 2.4° orb) · in your 1st house
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 11th house
the conversation, the deals, the routes: all under review
Neptune retrograde · in your 8th house
dreams and dissolutions, turned inward; the fog thins, but only for the part of you that wants to see
Pluto retrograde · in your 6th house
transformation pulled deeper underground; the underworld work continues out of sight

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 (Venus) or your profected 10th house carry extra weight for the themes of your house year.
