The Golden Astrologer

Virgo season is here! This week's Lunar Eclipse is the 2nd and last eclipse of this season. It's a Full Moon in Pisces and creates a strong connection with Mercury, planet of the mind and communication and Uranus, planet of innovation and the unexpected. This is an unusual set of astrology circumstances asking us to pay attention and choose what fulfills us now. Intuition is strong and leading us to clarity. Mercury will enter its own sign of Virgo this week and challenge Uranus as part of the eclipse pattern, so there will be surprises in store. Aim for a breakthrough this week! Tune in to The Golden Astrologer Podcast and hear all about it!

The time between two eclipses is always called the eclipse corridor. This week is that central week where there are no eclipses, but we're headed towards the 2nd one. It's an intense feeling we're moving through this week as the Sun finishes it's month long stay in home sign of Leo and connects with the South Node of Destiny at week's end. Simultaneously, Venus will oppose Saturn and we'd do best in sitting with any feelings of lack or need of gratification. Early in the week, Mars will challenge Neptune, asking us to listen to our gut before we act. And Venus will speak sweetly to Jupiter, opening our hearts. All this and so much more on The Golden Astrologer Podcast!

This is the week of the Total Solar Eclipse in the sign of Leo. This is a South Node Eclipse and Deb speaks about what to expect from this. Meanwhile, Mercury has also entered Leo and will join the Moon making the rounds of touching the outer planets right before the eclipse. Mars enters Cancer, where it enhances our desire to nurture our loved ones and protect them at all costs. And Venus in her own sign of Libra challenges dreamy Neptune in a duality that could bring romance or illusion. All this and so much more on The Golden Astrologer Podcast!

This week marks the beginning of a much larger cosmic story as Venus enters her home sign of Libra, opening the first chapter of a journey that will unfold throughout the rest of the year. As the Goddess of Love, Beauty, Relationships, and Values returns to her own sign, she begins preparing for her upcoming retrograde between Libra and Scorpio this October—a profound period of reflection, realignment, and transformation that will include three powerful encounters with Pluto. The seeds we plant now may reveal their deeper meaning in the months ahead.

Meanwhile, Chiron, newly settled in Taurus, begins its retrograde journey, inviting us to revisit the healing work that has unfolded since its arrival in this earthy sign. As Chiron gradually retraces its steps back toward Aries, we are given an opportunity to integrate old lessons with new wisdom, discovering how our deepest wounds can become our greatest source of strength and compassion.

Adding a vibrant spark to the week, Mercury leaves the emotional waters of Cancer and enters the radiant fire of Leo, inspiring courageous conversations, creative ideas, heartfelt expression, and the confidence to speak from the center of who we truly are. Join me on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore the beginning of these important planetary stories and discover how they are preparing us for the months ahead.

The Cosmic Basket continues to illuminate our path this week as the radiant Sun in its home sign of Leo activates this extraordinary planetary pattern. Through its dynamic relationship with Pluto and harmonious connections to Uranus and Neptune, the Sun shines a brilliant light on our personal growth, creative potential, and the profound transformation unfolding both within and around us.

Midweek, the Sun joins Jupiter in their annual celebration of optimism, abundance, and possibility, encouraging us to expand our vision and embrace the next chapter with courage and confidence. As the week unfolds, a powerful Full Moon in Aquarius brings the Sun and Jupiter into opposition with the Moon and Pluto, creating an extraordinary opportunity to set intentions, release old limitations, and step more fully into the person you are becoming.

This Full Moon also serves as the gateway to the upcoming eclipse season, as the Nodes of Destiny have shifted into Aquarius and Leo, signaling the beginning of a new evolutionary story that will unfold over the months ahead. Join me on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore this remarkable cosmic turning point and discover how to consciously work with the transformative energies guiding us toward the future.

The extraordinary Cosmic Basket continues to unfold this week as Jupiter in Leo completes its powerful conversations with all of the outer planets, expanding our awareness and inviting us into an even greater level of consciousness. This rare planetary alliance continues to weave together the energies of growth, awakening, imagination, and transformation, encouraging us to embrace the future with courage, creativity, and heart.

Midweek, Mercury ends its retrograde journey, bringing fresh clarity, renewed momentum, and the opportunity to move forward with new understanding. As the Sun completes its passage through Cancer and enters the radiant sign of Leo, it begins activating the very same evolutionary pattern, illuminating our creative spirit and reminding us that each of us has a unique light to share with the world.

The week concludes as Saturn stations retrograde, inviting us to pause, reflect, and strengthen the foundations of the future we are beginning to build. Join me on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore the next chapter of this remarkable cosmic story and discover how to work consciously with one of the most significant planetary patterns of our time.

The Universe is opening a doorway into a new chapter of consciousness as a rare planetary alliance begins to unfold. This week, a New Moon in Cancer invites us to plant seeds for the future while we are held within the extraordinary energy of Andre Barbault’s planetary basket — a once-in-centuries connection between the outer planets and Jupiter.

Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto come together in a powerful cosmic arrangement, creating a conversation between expansion, awakening, imagination, and transformation. As Venus and the Moon join this celestial gathering throughout the week, we receive additional invitations to open our hearts, deepen our intuition, and listen to the wisdom being offered by this remarkable alignment.

This is not simply a moment in time — it is a threshold. The coming weeks offer an opportunity to integrate new awareness, release old patterns, and begin aligning with a future that is asking to be born through us. The Universe is planting seeds, and we are invited to become conscious participants in what is blooming.

Join me on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore this extraordinary cosmic alliance and the profound evolutionary message it carries for us all.

This week's astrology invites us to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. We begin with a challenging conversation between the Sun in Cancer and Saturn in Aries, reminding us that strength and compassion can exist together. It's a beautiful opportunity to offer ourselves the same empathy and kindness we so often extend to others.

Neptune also begins its five-month retrograde journey in Aries, inviting us to revisit the dreams, inspirations, and inner callings that first emerged at the beginning of the year. What has become clearer? What illusions have gently fallen away? And what vision is asking to be reclaimed with greater wisdom?

Later in the week, Venus enters thoughtful Virgo, bringing grace and care to our relationships, daily lives and acts of service. As Venus forms a harmonious connection with Chiron in Taurus, the heart has an opportunity to heal through self-worth, simplicity and the quiet realization that we are already enough.

Join me for this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore a week of reflection, healing and gentle transformation—and discover how the cosmos is inviting us to move forward with greater clarity, compassion, and purpose.

This week is packed with some of the biggest astrological shifts we've seen in months!

It all begins with Mars entering Gemini for the first time in two years, energizing our minds, conversations, and curiosity. Almost immediately, Mercury—the ruler of Gemini—turns retrograde on Monday, beginning a three-week period of reflection, revision, and rediscovery.

Monday also brings the practical yet emotionally powerful Full Moon in Capricorn, illuminating where responsibility, achievement, and emotional truth intersect. Expect the beginning of the week to carry a potent mix of insight, intensity, and opportunity.

Then, late Monday into early Tuesday, Jupiter—the great benefic—moves into the creative fire sign of Leo for the next 13 months, opening the door to greater confidence, imagination, self-expression, and heartfelt expansion.

As the week draws to a close, Mars begins a series of conversations with the outer planets, starting with Uranus. These aspects remind us to think before we speak, choose our words wisely, and remain open to unexpected breakthroughs rather than impulsive reactions.

It's a transformative week filled with new beginnings, powerful realizations, and opportunities to align with a bigger vision for your life. Set your intentions, stay present with the unfolding energies, and allow the Universe to respond.

There's so much to explore on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast!

The week begins with the Solstice, marking the first full week of the Sun's journey through nurturing Cancer and the final days of Jupiter's year-long passage through this heartfelt sign before the great planet strides into Leo for the next 13 months. Midweek, the Sun challenges dreamy Neptune in Aries, inspiring imagination, vision, and perhaps a few questions about what is real and what is possible. Meanwhile, Venus joins forces with Saturn, helping us turn hopes into practical plans and giving structure to what we value most.

Mercury slows its pace in Cancer as it prepares for an upcoming retrograde, inviting reflection before the next chapter unfolds. And Mars changes signs as well, leaving steady, security-minded Taurus behind and leaping into curious, fast-moving Gemini, where flexibility, conversation, and movement take center stage.
