Show Notes

Summertime and the living is...retrograde? Abundant Jupiter ENDS a yearlong cycle through sentimental, insular Cancer this Tuesday, June 30, but not so fast on that vibe shift! On Monday Mercury turns retrograde in Cancer until July 23 which won’t let us rush into Jupiter in Leo’s Shakespeare-in-the-park level performance.

* Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer right as Jupiter exits—reckoning with themes of home, family, gender and xenophobia * July 4th weekend fireworks: a volatile Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini and…Taylor Swift’s wedding (why astrologers are aghast at this date!) * Monday’s Capricorn full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn marks a midyear check-in—the girlboss backlash, Democratic socialism * Jupiter enters showy Leo for the first time since 2014—which Leos will lead us into the future and which ones should exit stage left? * Our upcoming Human Design for Astrologers introductory course and how to get on the invite list!
