MERCURY IS IN LEO 🔥

mercury will roar thru the realm of fixed fire from 6/26 to 9/2 (over two months and we can thank a vip retrograde for that)

this is one of mercury’s highlight transits of the year... ...and the first three days (june 26–28) are...volatile

mercury immediately hits two major aspects with a trine from saturn + neptune in aries and an opposition to pluto rx in aquarius.

pressure on speech, narrative, perception...messages come through distorted. people will posture and projection is high, the instinct to declare or perform might be strong but the signal is weak, and emotions are LOUD. say what you need but speak from the heart and whatever happens after that? it's for the plot.

something deeper is surfacing but it’s fighting through that first wave of distortion AND
mercury will retrograde (july 18–aug 11) reworking everything from 15°
to 4° leo.

the whole cycle challenges how we use language to influence, impress, or protect the ego. pride, performance, and creative expression all get edited and you may need to say less in order to say what really matters when everything else is burned away...

watch what erupts early. you’ll be revisiting it by mid-july and ofc check your rising to see what it all means for you ✨

JUPITER IN CANCER IS SEXTILE MARS IN VIRGO ⚗️

in an aspect won't separate until after the summer solstice, jupiter cazimi + luminous jupiter conjunct cancer new moon (6/25)

obviously their fortunes are tied, but what does that mean for us? more than anything else, mars in virgo is a master metabolizer.  virgo is already the sign of digestion all we consume (why do you think we tease them about their sensitive tummies/nervous systems)

and virgo is currently hosting the south node who also happens to be responsible for digesting, integrating and eliminating (in this case whatever the north node magnetizes/consumes)

and what do healthy digestion + fast metabolism depend on? fire. you need martial FIRE for quick and thorough transmutation.

fire needs to be stoked, kindled. food, memories, nostalgia, somatically trapped emotions from the most potent + charged moments of your life, emotional echoes...all fuel for the holy fire in your belly.

whatever mars wants to throw on his pyre of transmutation is directly tied into the good fortunes  of this beautiful cancer new moon.  

check your rising to see where these mysteries live for you <3

the 36 decans were (are) an ancient timekeeping system used to determine the appropriate times to worship and commune with the deities that ruled them, deities that were believed to live among the stars and communicate their will thru them

communal festivals + rituals would be held to honor these divinities as well as private prayer + petitions to make contact ✨ the 28 lunar mansions each represent about a days worth of the moon’s travel and were used by ancient islamicate astrologers to predict the most auspicious + inauspicious times for almost every life activity you could imagine.

these lunar forecasts were posted every day for the public to see. the moons movements, condition and messages were common knowledge for everyone 🌙
