This week's stars tell the tale of King Arthur, and how, at this point in the cycle of the year, we're called to find our true north through the damp autumnal air and hazy veils of mist.

As fairy tales know full well, in the Land of the Singing Sky there is a restorative Fountain of Dew. This land is at the top of the ladder that hangs from the from the Full Moon, and this week, the last Full Moon of the Summer will occur, overnight Wednesday to Thursday. But here’s the trick, it will be eclipsed! So what to do? How do we find the ladder when it’s cast in shadow? John Keats left us an epic map.

Wednesday, August 12th Sun, Moon, and Earth align for eclipse at midday, then overnight, the Perseid Meteor Shower reaches peak activity. This is so much more than celestial coincidence ~ it's an epic moment in world becoming, to which we all belong.

Every year during the last week of July we come to a point in the annual cycle when it’s as though the mighty Being of the Year tests us to see whether we can endure the reality that things are not what they seem. This happens Wednesday, July 29 when Sun and Jupiter align opposite the Full Moon and Pluto.

We get a first glimpse of what what's in store for us each year at the eve of summer’s first New Moon, which is July 14th. Two days prior, on July 12th, the Moon enters its dark phase, and with Venus at star Regulus all week, the question is clear: Is this the path of love?

This time of year is a time of destiny forming, when all the ingredients are on the table and the master chef, in this case, the gods, enters the celestial kitchen to craft us as the masterpiece. The old year, 2026, has breathed fully out. Now, 2027 begins.

Earth and Sun pause in their shared breathing on Sunday, June 21st before Sun ascends the horizon in the US. There's a magic line up of Mars, twilight, Solstice, First Quarter Moon and dawn to carry us all to summer's hieghts.

Venus is evening star and attended by Jupiter and Moon all week, making it easy to understand why the planet is associated with love, with beauty, with poetry. This week Moon occults Venus, opening a window into the cosmos through the heart.

There are two things to know about Venus right now: first that it's being amplified by proximity to Jupiter, our largest planet, and then that it will be blocked by the Moon over the entire US. How will we respond?
