Faith and The Revolution

In this video, I discuss traits of each of the Zodiac signs that you won’t normally hear in the mainstream. What do you think?

Midterms are approaching, and Mercury and Venus will station retrograde. Given everything unfolding in the world, this is a period worth paying attention to.

I never want to sound alarmist, but I think we can all agree that s**t is coming down the pike. In fact, if you received a reading from me for 2026, you may recall that one of the things I specifically flagged about the Fall months was my concern regarding the midterm elections and the astrological events happening simultaneously.

It is striking that so much of what’s dominating the news—anticipated climate catastrophes associated with an intensified El Niño, growing concerns about the war in Iran, questions surrounding the legitimacy of midterm elections as this administration stirs up hysteria—is coinciding with Venus and Mercury retrograde. I don’t have an answer for exactly what this will look like. I don’t know precisely how these events will unfold. What I am forecasting, however, is a few months of difficulty, challenges, and chaos.

And this isn’t just because Venus and Mercury will both be retrograde from October into November. Mars will also station retrograde at the beginning of the new year, in January, and remain retrograde through April. So, whether we’re dealing with a climate event that affects us collectively or developments coming from this administration, s**t is, indeed, coming down the pike.

Venus Retrograde: Reassessing What We Value

In astrology, Venus connects us to what we value. That can be interpersonal; Venus speaks to our relationships, our connections with other people, and the things that bring us pleasure. But Venus also has a lot to do with our resources and whatever gives us a sense of safety and security.

On a collective level, that includes what we value about the systems and structures meant to provide some semblance of safety and security for us as a country, a nation, and a people. And when Venus turns retrograde, these things will come up for reassessment.

Soon, we will be asked to review what we value, what we depend on, and whether the structures we have relied upon are actually providing the security we believe them to provide. I’m sure you can already sense this shift as Venus slows in preparation for retrograde beginning on October 3.

This particular retrograde begins in the sign of Scorpio before Venus backs into the sign of Libra. Interestingly, in the U.S. astrological chart, this transit takes place in the 10th House area associated with legacy, government, public standing, and the way a country engages with and relates to others. The timing is particularly notable given the political circumstances unfolding.

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio: Communication, Technology, and Information

Mercury stations retrograde on October 24, a retrograde that takes place squarely in Scorpio. This is an added layer of importance. Scorpio is deeply instinctual. It is perceptive. It understands its audience and knows how to read the room. Because of its sharp perception, Scorpio possesses an ability not only to transform but also to manipulate.

Mercury, meanwhile, is the planet associated with communication, information, and the ways we exchange ideas. When this planet stations retrograde in Scorpio, I would anticipate the possibility of deception, omission, manipulation, and information that is difficult to interpret clearly—particularly when it comes to social media, or the gadgets and technology we use to communicate and express ourselves like our cell phones, voting machines, and mail-in ballots.

These are the technologies and systems through which information moves, and through which we participate in our democratic processes. With Mercury and Venus retrograde, questions around secure elections, information, communication, and technology—what may or may not be visible beneath the surface and if we are safe to trust—become particularly important.

Neither Venus nor Mercury will station direct (i.e., come out of retrograde) until November 14. That means the retrogrades play out directly through the midterm cycle. Then, as we begin recovering from whatever transpries during this period toward the end of the year, Mars enters the picture forcing us to pump the brakes. This planet will station retrograde in January, which coincides with the period newly elected officials are expected to enter Congress in Wasington, D.C. after election results are certified (if that happens at all).

So there is a progression here: Venus asks us to reassess our values and resources. Mercury asks us to review information and communication systems. Mars slows down our ability to simply charge forward. All of this is happening against the backdrop of an already volatile political and social environment.

What You Can Do: Fact-Check, Slow Down, and Stay Grounded

Believe the hype; astrology is real. We are facing some difficult times ahead and I’m giving you the heads-up so that you can move through it all with as much awareness as possible.

What you choose to do with this information is ultimately up to you. Personally, I would encourage you to fact-check. Be clear about who you are receiving your resources from. And remember that resources don’t only mean money or currency. Information is also a resource.

Pay attention to where your information is coming from, particularly if you are following the news and the national spectacle surrounding the midterms. This is not the time to blindly accept everything you hear.

It is also not the time to give up. Don’t make major decisions impulsively. Don’t jump to final conclusions. And don’t assume that what you are seeing in the moment represents the final outcome.

The planets are already entering their shadow phases as they prepare to station retrograde, which means that we’re entering this process before the retrogrades technically begin.

We’re not going to see our way completely out of this until toward the end of the year. So, hydrate. Keep your wits about you. And be patient. This is a time for discernment rather than panic. B sure to process information before deciding what it means or what you should do about it (if anything).

Astrology may not be predciting. What it can do, however, is help us through periods of heightened uncertainty. Life may get a little more intense on these fascist streets, and, we will find ourselves on the otherside of the storm once the dust settles.

Understanding Chiron: The Wounded Healer

Chiron has officially entered the sign of Taurus the Bull, marking the beginning of a significant astrological transit that invites both personal and collective healing.

In astrology, Chiron is named the “Wounded Healer”—an asteroid that represents our deepest wounds, recurring pain points, and the areas of life that require ongoing care, understanding, and reconciliation.

While Chiron highlights our vulnerabilities, it also symbolizes the medicine for those wounds. It represents the wisdom and awareness that emerge when we confront our pain rather than avoid it.

Chiron’s influence is not limited to individual growth; it can also reveal collective pain while offering pathways toward transformation on a broader societal scale.

Taurus and the Search for Stability

Taurus is a grounded Earth sign ruled by Venus in Astrology, the planet associated with beauty, pleasure, aesthetics, values, and relationships.

Known for its appreciation of comfort, security, and material wealth, Taurus seeks a life where basic needs are reliably met.

At its core, Taurus wants reassurance that there is a roof over its head, food in the refrigerator, and money in the savings account. The Bull desires luxury and peace of mind, preferring these things over unnecessary drama and disruption.

Taurus energy is deeply connected to the material world and the resources that allow for safety.

Chiron in Taurus: Healing Scarcity and Self-Worth

When Chiron moves through Taurus, it shines a spotlight on wounds related to scarcity and worthiness. These wounds often manifest in two primary ways:

* Low self-esteem: “What if I’m not enough?”

* Scarcity thinking: “What if I don’t have enough?”

This transit asks us to [re]examine our self-worth, sense of security, finances, possessions, and the material world. Depending on where Taurus falls in your unique astrological birth chart, these themes may emerge in different areas of life.

For anyone turning 50 this year or next, this period may be especially significant because you are experiencing your Chiron Return, a transit that occurs approximately every 50 years.

During one’s Chiron Return, unresolved wounds and long-standing life lessons often resurface for deeper reflection.

Venus Moves Into Leo This Weekend

This weekend marks an important astrological shift as Venus enters the sign of Leo.

For those who received a 2026 astrological reading, now is the perfect time to revisit your forecast for the summer months (you can also schedule a six-month forecast for the cosmic tea 🫖). This transit is significant not only because Venus is changing signs, but because it is laying the groundwork for an even bigger cosmic event:

Jupiter will also ingress the sign of Leo at the end of June.

Together, these planetary shifts signal the beginning of a vibrant and exciting period that will unfold throughout the coming weeks and months.

The Energy of Venus: Pleasure, Beauty, and Luxury

In astrology, Venus is associated with pleasure, beauty, luxury, fashion, aesthetics, possessions and relationships. It represents the things—and people—we value most.

Venus encourages us to seek enjoyment, surround ourselves with quality things, and indulge what makes us feel good. And as Venus transits Leo, these Venusian qualities take on a bold and dramatic vibe.

Leo is a sign that embraces confidence, glamour and creativity. The resulting energy will feel charismatic, playful, and impossible to ignore.

Leo’s Connection to Sports and Entertainment

Astrologically, Leo governs the Arts, recreation, and our inner child. The sign is associated with royalty and the spotlight.

Leo also rules play, sports and entertainment—the activities that bring joy into our lives. This astrological timing is particularly fitting given the growing excitement surrounding the World Cup. The global celebration of sports, culture, and national pride reflects many Leo themes.

Beyond the games themselves, the fashion and regalia on display are also capturing attention, as showcased by participating teams from African nations generating significant admiration and enthusiasm.

Jupiter’s Arrival Will Amplify the Energy

While Venus’ entrance to Leo is noteworthy on its own, the atmosphere is set to become even more potent when Jupiter arrives later this month.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth, abundance and opportunity. When it joins Venus in Leo, themes of creativity, celebration, self-expression and enjoyment are bound to amplify.

The glamorous energy beginning now will grow significantly with Jupiter in the mix. What’s more, this planet will remain in the sign of Leo through July 2027.

A Cosmic Invitation to Indulge

The message of these transits is clear:

Allow yourself to enjoy life in this present moment.

Over the coming weeks, make time for activities that genuinely make you happy. Treat yourself to experiences that bring pleasure. Dress up, celebrate, socialize, and embrace opportunities to express yourself with confidence.

Whether that means attending a World Cup event, exploring cultural excursions, connecting with new people from different parts of the world, or simply investing more energy into your hobbies and passions, this period encourages you to lean into what makes your heart full.

Check Your Horoscope for Personal Insights

Although these planetary movements affect the collective atmosphere, their influence will be experienced differently by each Zodiac sign.

So be sure to check your horoscopes this week [published every Monday] for additional insights into how Venus’ transit through Leo is just the beginning of a personal glow up as we veer into the summer months.

With Jupiter in tow, the stage is set for a season filled with extravagance and a little high drama. Leo wouldn’t have it any other way.

The invitation is clear: Embrace what lights you up and enjoy the ride.

A Milestone Year for the United States

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, communities across the country are preparing to celebrate this historic milestone.

The anniversary has sparked widespread discussion about the nation’s past, present, and future. For some observers [like me 🙋🏾‍♀️], the occasion brings a sense of irony as well as curiosity about where the country is headed.

The approaching semiquincentennial raises questions about the future of what many consider the ongoing American experiment. With major political, social, and cultural changes unfolding, this anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s trajectory and consider what the next chapter may hold.

Examining America’s Future Through Astrology

Against this backdrop, Astrology Camp is being launched in conjunction with all the summer 250 celebrations. This seven-week virtual course is designed to explore the astrological influences surrounding the United States as it enters its 250th year.

Beginning on Thursday, June 25, participants will take an in-depth look at the U.S astrological birth chart, exampining potential trends and developments over the coming weeks, months, and years through an astrological lens.

Particular attention will be given to notable transits like the retrogrades of Venus and Mercury that coincide with the upcoming midterm elections this fall, and participants will be provided with a broader understanding of how astrology can be used to analyze collective and national cycles.

In addition to studying the U.S. chart, participants will have the opportunity to explore their own individual birth charts to explore how personal astrological patterns may intersect with broader societal developments.

Learn The Basics

For those who are new to Astrology, the program will also include an introductory course that is beginner-friendly designed to teach the fundamental principles, making camp accessible to both newcomers and experienced practitioners.

You will learn the basics of astrological interpretation while gaining the foundation needed to engage more deeply with course materials.

Registration Now Open

Registration for Astrology Camp is officially open at the button below!

All who are interested in learning astrology, forecasting the future of the United States, and linking both personal and collective transitions are welcome.

Astrology, America, and the 250th Anniversary

For years, I have spoken openly about the intense and rebellious period that humanity is currently experiencing.

Through astrological forecasts, readings, and writings, I have “predicted” the major shifts unfolding around us. These changes were never theoretical, and now, they are in full force. We are officially living in fascist times.

It must be understood that Astrology offers more than Zodiac signs and horoscopes. It provides a framework for understanding both collective events and personal evolution by way of planetary transits.

So, in response to the overwhelming changes we are navigating on this timeline, and in conjunction with our country’s 250th anniversary of signing the Declaration of Independence, I am launching a seven-week “Astrology Camp” designed to help you better understand the astrological forces shaping this current era.

A Time of Collective Transformation

Many astrologers have focused on significant long-term astrological transits such as Pluto entering Aquarius and Uranus entering Gemini, both of which will influence culture, technology, and social systems on a collective scale.

However, these transits are not only affecting society at large—they are also impacting individuals personally.

In recent weeks, many of my clients have expressed rather restless desires to initiate monumental changes in their lives, relationships, careers, and individual life direction.

The energy of the broader world inevitably affects everyone living within it. Including me. As collective systems unravel, people are also experiencing internal upheaval.

Understanding the Major Astrological Transits

Astrology Camp will focus on helping participants understand several important astrological events expected over the coming months and years, including Barbault’s Basket, the retrograde stations of Venus and Mercury during the midterm elections, and Mars’ retrograde station at the start of 2027.

Another major component of the program will involve studying the astrological birth chart of the United States, along with participant charts.

By comparing national and personal astrology, camp participants will understand:

* How global and national events correspond with astrological cycles

* Why certain emotional or life changes may feel especially intense right now

* How individuals can navigate periods of transformation more consciously

* What national and personal themes may emerge in the months and years ahead

Designed for All Levels of Astrological Knowledge

Astrology Camp will be accessible even for those who are new to astrology. Before the program gets underway, an introductory session will be offered to help beginners build foundational knowledge.

The full program will begin on Thursday, June 25, and will run weekly for seven (7) consecutive weeks in a virtual classroom. In addition to group sessions, participants will also receive individual one-on-one sessions.

The goal of this experience is not simply to teach astrology, but to provide clarity around the current historical moment from an astrological lens, a deeper understanding of astrological transits, and assistance in cultivating the tools needed for navigating collective and personal transformation.

Through your participation, you will gain greater awareness while living through trying and revolutionary times. Registration is open.

The Foundation: The United States’ Birth Chart

In Part II of this article, we’ll examine how the planet Jupiter is currently interacting with the United States’ astrological birth chart, the transits of the remaining planets throughout April, and America’s Uranus Return.

(Click here to review Part I)

Jupiter Between the Seventh and Eighth Houses: Expansion and Risks in Shared Resources

Jupiter, often associated with growth and prosperity, is transitioning into the U.S. eighth house—a complex and deeply intimate sector associated with:

* Shared resources and investments

* Debt and financial entanglements

* Sex and vulnerability

* Loss, grief, and psychological trauma

The Dual Nature of Jupiter

While Jupiter can bring luck and fortune, it is also linked to excess. In the eighth house, this duality becomes especially pronounced.

Potential outcomes include:

* Growth in shared wealth or collaborative investments

* Increased national debt or overextension of resources

* Financial involvement in foreign affairs (Jupiter connects us to the outside world)

* Emotional and societal strain tied to collective loss

This transit is closely connected to Pluto’s movement in the second house, creating a push-pull dynamic between individual security and outside investments.

Real-World Reflections

This could manifest as:

The Foundation: The United States’ Birth Chart

Astrology has long been used as a tool to understand cycles, patterns, and collective experiences—not just for individuals, but for nations as well.

In this deep dive, we’ll explore the astrological birth chart of the United States of America, and examine how current planetary movements may be influencing the country’s trajectory.

The chart used in this reading is the widely known “Sibley Chart,” which sets the birth of the United States as July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at 5:10 p.m. when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

This version of the chart was rectified in 1799 by English physician, occult writer and astrologer Ebenezer Sibley, and remains one of the most commonly referenced (and debated) charts for the nation.

Understanding Astrological “Themes”

Just as with an individual’s natal chart, astrologers analyze planetary transits—especially those of slower-moving outer planets—to identify long-term trends shaping a country’s growth and development.

In astrology, the outer planets Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter move slowly, and therefore influence extended periods—sometimes years or even decades.

The influence of these planets can be considered “themes” that represent ongoing transformations rather than fleeting events.

In Part I of this article, we’ll examine how the planets Pluto, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are currently interacting with the United States’ astrological birth chart.

Pluto in the Second House: Transforming Values and Financial Systems

Pluto, the slowest-moving planet in our solar system, is currently transiting the second house of the U.S. chart. This house governs:

* Money and financial systems

* Personal and collective values

* Resources and material wealth

* Self-worth and societal needs

Pluto’s role centers change through exposure and elimination, revealing what is outdated or no longer sustainable.

In this context, its presence in the second house suggests a profound restructuring of America’s financial and economic systems. This could manifest as:

* Challenges to existing capitalist structures

* Scrutiny of wealth inequality and oligarchical power

* Exploration of new economic models (e.g., universal basic income)

* A redefinition of what “security” means for Americans

Because Pluto moves so slowly, this is gradual experience but deeply impactful, potentially unfolding over decades.

Saturn and Neptune in the Fourth House: Redefining Home and Identity

Two major planet players—Saturn and Neptune—have not only recently entered the sign of Aries the Ram, but have also entered the fourth house in the U.S. chart, which represents:

* Home and homeland

* Family and roots

* Physical safety and stability

* National identity and history

The Dual Influence

* Saturn represents discipline, structure, and accountability.

* Neptune represents imagination, dreams, and dissolution of false narratives.

Together, they create a powerful dynamic: the potential to turn visions into reality, but also to shatter illusions.

What This Means for the U.S.

This transit will expose uncomfortable truths about the nation’s past and identity. It can feel like:

* A reckoning with historical narratives

* Disillusionment with long-held beliefs about our country

* A forced confrontation with domestic realities

With both planets in Aries, an assertive and confrontational sign, these revelations may come quickly and intensely.

This energy also points toward the birth of a new national identity—though what that looks like remains uncertain.

Current political and social movements reflect this tension, from the forced deportation of immigrants and debates about family values to policy changes affecting birthright citizenship.

Additionally, Aries’ combative nature may correlate with:

* Increased military presence domestically

* Heightened conflict, both at home and abroad

* A more aggressive national stance

This is not a subtle shift in domestic affairs—it is direct, fast-moving, and compromises our welfare.

Uranus in the Sixth House: Disrupting Work, Health, and Daily Life

Uranus, the planet of disruption and innovation, is transiting the U.S. sixth house, which governs:

* Work and employment

* Daily routines

* Health and wellness

* Systems of productivity

Since the early 2020s, this transit has coincided with massive upheaval—most notably during the COVID-19 pandemic, which dramatically reshaped how people live and work. Current manifestations include:

* Ongoing instability in healthcare systems

* Uncertainty with insurance and medical costs

* Shifts in workplace culture

* Challenges maintaining a balanced way of life

Uranus thrives on change, often bringing chaos and instability.

Looking Ahead: Uranus in Gemini

As Uranus leaves the sign of Taurus for Gemini this month, themes will expand into:

* Technology and artificial intelligence in the workplace

* Healthcare communication systems that keep us (mis)informed

This suggests further disruption, particularly in how people work and interact with technology. AI integration, evolving job roles, and changes in health education are all likely to accelerate.

The Last Week of Winter and Mercury Retrograde

The week ahead marks the closing chapter of winter and the final stretch of several important cosmic cycles. With major planetary shifts on the horizon, this moment offers a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and prepare for what comes next.

It is the final week of winter, and the last week of Mercury retrograde, a period commonly associated with reflection, revision, and recalibration.

These concluding days carry a sense of closure. They invite us to tie up loose ends, process lessons from the previous weeks, and prepare ourselves for the momentum that spring brings.

Entering Aries Season and the Astrological New Year

On the other side of this week lies a major energetic shift. We will enter Aries season, which coincides with the beginning of a new astrological year.

Aries, symbolized by the Ram, is the first sign of the zodiac and is associated with initiation and forward movement. This transition is especially notable because five planets (the Sun, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, and eventually Mars) will soon be moving through Aries.

Such a concentration of planetary energy in one sign creates an atmosphere of heightened momentum. In astrology, Aries energy encourages action, leadership, and bold beginnings. After the introspective tone of winter and Mercury retrograde, this shift suggests that the months ahead will be far more dynamic and action-oriented.

Launching the Saturn Sessions Series

In response to these powerful cosmic alignments, I will launch a new program this spring: the “Saturn Sessions.”

These gatherings will take place monthly throughout the spring season, designed as spaces for personal and collective focus.

The goal is to consciously work with the symbolic energy of the planets above through ritual, astrology readings, one-on-one coaching and community support, in order to clarify and crystallize our most meaningful aspirations.

Participants will come together to focus on:

* Their biggest dreams and ambitions

* Intentions for personal growth and transformation

* Aspirations not only for their own lives but also for the broader collective and the world at large

Beginning After the Equinox

Saturn in astrology is associated with discipline, structure, and long-term achievement. These sessions aim to channel that energy toward creating tangible progress and meaningful direction.

The first Saturn Sessions gathering will take place on Saturday, March 21—immediately following the spring equinox—a powerful moment for initiation. Astrologically and symbolically, it is an ideal time to begin new projects, set intentions, and step into the next phase of growth.

This timing is particularly meaningful because it precedes what is expected to be one of the most active astrological periods of 2026. You can join us each month, or personalize your experience by selecting one of three tiers:

TIER 1: Monthly Saturn Sessions ($111)TIER 2: Initial Astrology Reading + Saturn Sessions ($222)TIER 3: 1:1 Coaching + Astrology Reading + Saturn Sessions ($555).

Looking Ahead

As winter draws to a close and Mercury retrograde concludes, the coming days serve as a bridge between reflection and action. With the arrival of Aries season, the spring equinox, and a cluster of planets moving through Aries, the stage is set for a period of bold fresh starts and renewed momentum.

For those interested in exploring these themes more deeply, click the link below to learn more and register for the Saturn Sessions.

Spring is almost here—and with it comes the start of a new astrological year and a powerful opportunity to move forward with intention.

Astrology, Misconceptions, and Spiritual Concerns

When offering astrology readings, it is common to encounter clients who carry hesitation or fear about astrology due to their religious upbringing. Many people have been taught that astrology is shameful or even the “work of the devil.”

While it is true that astrology falls under the broader umbrella of occult practices, like many tools, its meaning and impact depend largely on the intention of the person using it.

For many astrologers, the goal is not manipulation or control, but service. Astrology can be used to help individuals understand the patterns in their lives—what is unfolding in their personal charts and what is happening collectively in the world.

When approached with integrity, astrology becomes a framework for self-awareness, growth, and compassionate action. The purpose is not harm, but betterment—guided by values that prioritize what is right, just, and humane.

The Ethics of Astrological Practice

Just as there are astrologers who strive to use this practice responsibly, it is also important to acknowledge that astrology, like any form of knowledge or influence, can be misused.

There are individuals—especially those in positions of power—who may attempt to use astrological timing or insights in ways that serve harmful or self-interested agendas. The cosmic alignments or transits they may try to exploit are not exclusive to them. These same celestial movements affect everyone.

This raises an important perspective: if astrological cycles can theoretically be used for harm, they can also be consciously used for good. The same energetic windows that might be manipulated by some can be intentionally used by others to cultivate healing, clarity, and positive transformation.

Understanding the Power of a Lunar Eclipse

A lunar eclipse represents a particularly powerful moment within the lunar cycle. In astrological terms, it functions as an amplified full moon. Full moons already symbolize culmination, illumination, and release, but eclipses intensify these themes.

Lunar eclipses often bring periods of:

* Letting go

* Emotional clearing

* Closure and renewal

* Significant realizations

They can reveal what needs to be released in order for growth to occur. While eclipses can feel intense, they also offer opportunities for powerful resets.
