Astro Weather

What’s going on in the constellations now and in the near future. It’s happening for everyone. It’s good to be aware of it when scheduling events, or if you are wondering why everyone seems to have an itch they can’t scratch.

Mars in Cancer Sep 18–Nov 12

Cancer is a cardinal water sign. When the fire of Mars is there, steam power creates new things or propels ideas into the now. People born with Mars in Cancer will fight for family, friends, and ideals. They need to be especially conscious of their environment so their emotions are not polluted with negativity. 

Where you have Cancer in your chart, expect the waters to churn. That can be a good thing, infusing fresh energy into what might have become stagnant. Too much energy acts like a hurricane and does a lot of damage before the regrowth. Quickly address feelings that rise up when life gets a little choppy, and you should be just fine. 

Jupiter Enters Sidereal Leo

Jupiter enters Leo on Oct. 31, 2026, at 6:32 a.m. EDT, then slips back into Cancer on Jan. 24, 2027, at 8:01 p.m. EST. Cancer is a cardinal water sign. Leo is a fixed fire sign. What does this mean for you?

Where you have Cancer in your chart, Jupiter has been expanding how you express your emotions, and all that brings with it. We don't make much happen if it's merely a thought; we need our emotions to commit and manifest new things in our lives. If you haven't seen the results you'd like in that area of your life, you'll get another chance in 2027. Mars, the planet of action, is in Cancer right now, so make plans, and commit to them, for what you want to continue when Jupiter swings back into Cancer.

Where Leo is in your chart is about to get a quick boost of bigger, and hopefully better, energy. Fire is a blessing that lets us turn raw materials into something we can use. And, obviously, it can burn down the house if we don't respect its power. Have your ingredients and work station ready before you cook up something new in the Leo-ruled area of your natal chart. When Mars enters Leo on Nov. 12, keep a close watch as the heat turns up a little more.

Venus Retrograde Oct 3–Nov 14

It’s bad enough when she starts gliding backwards. Hell hath no fury…and all that. Even the nicest of ladies lose it and act like Taylor Sheridan’s ideal woman. It’s most unpleasant. But if Venus is in Taurus or Libra, it’s so much worse. 

So what to do? Get as much done on your own as possible. If something has been bothering you, find a nice way to say so. Realize that you are more prone to letting something go or blowing it up than to working to make it better. But sometimes, this is when women in particular find the courage to “let it go, let it go…”

Mercury Retrograde Oct 24–Nov 13

You probably know the drill. Unless you were born with Mercury Retrograde, don’t buy, sign, or commit if you can help it. Put it off. Gather more information. Or get a friend born with Mercury Retrograde to check it out for you!

If you make a mistake, fix it without blame or shame. Be kind when someone else messes up. Karma is so instant now. If it’s broken, don’t wait to repair it. After some research, get it done.

Using the Whole Sign House system like I do, Mercury will mess with two areas of your life this time round. The silver lining is you get a redo in two areas, not just one. Love those second chances to make something right!
