Aries – This period in your social life, friendships and group involvements is about understanding that even though there are differences between you, it’s time to join forces or find a compromise. Pluto has given you power and control issues for part of 2023/2024 and now, firmly, this year. Nevertheless, now, you all must find some common ground and locate the central axis of your relationship or association. One particular friend may be the issue.
Driving forward from that axis is what this week is all about. July/August 2025 suggests a bridge to cross and major compromise. So, even now, finding the tact, sensitivity, care, tolerance and good timing to truly co-operate is laying strong foundations. This may be true of a band, football team, secret society, online tribe (like Substack) or community.

Taurus – With enough faith, hope and optimism, Jupiter says, “All this can be yours” (in terms of saving or making money). To make the most of this cycle in its closing weeks, make sure you are prepared to see the big picture! Jupiter gives you the opportunity. It does not take the journey for you. A bigger future is waiting, though, so why not peer into it?
Further up ahead, we have Uranus following Jupiter – also in your zone of personal finance. That starts on July 8th, 2025, and it will be revolutionary. A radical change – sudden in nature – is certain to bring freedom and independence however it can. No matter what. Perhaps July is already in your diary, Taurus.

Gemini – Uranus enters your zone of self-promotion, name, face, identity, title and reputation on July 8th, 2025, and everything will change very quickly. Progress is guaranteed when Uranus moves through your chart as life will continually shift and change around you – creating the kind of forward momentum that makes it impossible for you to remain stuck where you are.
Freedom will call in terms of how you are seen. Independence Day will come – perhaps it’s your branding, your desire for cosmetic surgery or wholesale public relations. You will only be able to hang on to your old image, name or profile for so long before you may find yourself either stranded, stuck and left behind. And there may be glimpses of this now as Jupiter goes through Gemini.

Cancer – This week, you’ve come to terms with Neptune in Aries in your sector of career, academic career and unpaid work. Neptune is a symbol of the sea, the ocean and the aquarium. It shows an escape from reality. A holiday from the real world. A vacation from normal life. Neptune has been in your solar Tenth House of ambition and achievement since March 31st, 2025.It takes time to adjust and adapt, but here you are, Cancer.
Neptune can often make us forget who we are as a sense of personal identity and separateness dissolves, and we end up losing our boundaries. This may have been happening with your staff, colleagues or employer. Your classmates or professor. People in your non-profit sphere or those at home. People can feel ‘all at sea’ on these cycles. With management and care, though, Neptune cycles can feel as wonderfully escapist as a day at the seaside.

Leo – How much power do you actually have with your other half (or the other side)? What about your control in life? These are important questions during the years that Pluto is steadily transforming your life. For the first time in 248 years, Pluto entered Aquarius on March 23rd, 2023. That was just the smallest sign of what was to come, and, in 2024, you saw what questions about control, power and the upper hand could achieve.
This is classically about marriage or de facto partnership but is also about professional partnership. The Seventh House is also very much about opponents or enemies. Pluto challenges you to look inside yourself to the very core and find what you are really made of. Willpower and self-control give you incredible control and influence at this time, so you will need to go excavating and find yourself as you really are below the surface. Your other half (or the other side) shows you.

Virgo – The idea now is to grow and go forward in terms of your image – even if the universe is playing the same old tape. The South Node in Virgo can be like that. In fact, life as it was in terms of your name, appearance, reputation and profile 18-19 years ago is returning. Other people appear to be glued to their patterns and, no matter what you do to try and change things around you, life still seems to repeat itself as if you were stuck on a loop.
Your breakthrough will come when you accept that life is stuck on the repeat button because it’s (ironically) the best way to get you to progress. Observe yourself each time the loop repeats. What have you learned about managing your mirror reflection or your Google listing?

Libra – Chiron in Aries in your Seventh House of duets and duels teaches you what we can get away with. As a centaur (half man/half horse), Chiron by his very existence shows us the so-called impossible, outrageous or unthinkable. This becomes more important now as from May 26th, 2025, Saturn goes into the same sector of your chart – joining Neptune – there since March 31st. It’s all about your other half or the other side and you have escalating choices to make.
Chiron challenges you to attempt the most audacious acts and maverick decisions – for better or worse. Chiron was discovered in 1977 – the year of punk rock, cloning and test tube babies. I like to call him your punk music teacher. The British astrologer Dennis Elwell equated Chiron with a kind of cocky impudence. He saw Chiron as a heretic or gadfly. This cycle tests the parameters of possibility. Astrologer Zane Stein thinks Chiron is a maverick. This is also a good way to think about Chiron – bend or break rules? From May 26th, this becomes enormously important.

Scorpio – This is one of those weeks when you may want to draw your own Tarot card to help you with the astrology. The Tarot is free to use on my website for validation of the astrology and much more personal detail for you. If you are a Premium Member, there is an extended Tarot reading there and also a Tarot guide in your library. The late Stuart R. Kaplan and U.S. Games Systems kindly gave me permission to reproduce the cards from the Smith-Waite Tarot Deck Centennial Edition.
The Sun’s spotlight will swing on all the things you achieve with your duet or duel at the moment and draw other people’s attention. The Sun is in Taurus which rules, classically, your wife or your opponents. It rules your boyfriend or your former husband. A professional partner or a professional adversary. The Sun is neither negative nor positive – it just works like the real Sun – illuminating whatever it touches. Now, it lights up anything and anybody relevant so that everyone else can see it. Whatever has been covered up so carefully is finally exposed. Thus, the need for the Tarot. A very private reading.

Sagittarius – The Third House – where you now find Pluto in Aquarius – rules siblings and cousins who share your early language development with you (either teaching you or learning from you). You have been dealing with questions about who or what has the upper hand for part of 2023, some of 2024 and all of the year 2025. Later on in life, we associate the Third House with writing, broadcasting, publishing, editing, translation and so on. This cycle rules the worldwide web for obvious reasons. Finally, it rules the local scene. Your town, village or neighbourhood. Again, this takes us back to siblings and cousins – as when young, your known world was close to home where you could catch a bus, ride a bicycle or walk.
This transit is about shedding light on all these aspects of life and drawing your attention to who/what requires it most. Pluto in Aquarius now makes himself felt. How are you to compromise over the power or control questions? If you have anything in Gemini in your natal chart, that becomes even more important as Jupiter is in Gemini now in the same chart zone and Uranus enters there on July 8th, 2025.

Capricorn – The Sun in Taurus now transits the Fifth House of your solar chart where we find courtship rituals, your bedroom, your sons or daughters and all spares or pretenders to your throne (one day). This includes young relatives and, perhaps, godchildren. The Fifth House is about being King or Queen to a younger court. This may be a classroom of teenagers or infants you babysit.
Since 2018, you have been dealing with ‘the regular irregular’ and ‘the predictably unpredictable’ which is back in your life this week. Attention will now go on your sexual relationships, your interest in the dating game, any children and any interest you have in younger people. So, for example, it may be about your godchild and his or her birthday presents this year or a flirtatious message on Twitter from a possible date. Freedom is central on this transit. Freedom, space and independence and you have choices to make before the transit ends on July 8th, 2025.

Aquarius – Jupiter is now weeks away from entering Cancer in your Sixth House of workload and wellbeing. This takes place from June 10th, 2025. This is where you honour your sense of duty to others and fulfil your chores or tasks as you have an obligation to serve.
You will see the situation at a distance this week as it presents clues and signs about a far more fulfilling future. This involves the household, perhaps, or those at work. It may involve academia or unpaid work. Dogs and cats are part of this transit and so they may also be more important. We are their servants much of the time. So, for example, you may see pups advertised online at the animal shelter but not be able to pick them up until June 10th. Or you may see a reshuffle at work, university or with your non-profit role – and realise that in just a few weeks this may offer you a promotion.

Pisces – Karma always rolls when the South Node is in Virgo. In this case, it is karma involving your wife or husband. Your girlfriend or boyfriend. Your professional partner, perhaps. A platonic duet where the two of you are very much a pair. This cycle also rules enemies, opponents and rivals. Anybody who is against you. The other side! The South Node’s transit through your opposite sign will draw attention to your opposite number (say, your fiancée) but also to anyone who is opposing the relationship (your first wife).
If you picture a set of scales, you will get a clearer idea of this process where the scales must be balanced with one eye on what you did 18-19 years before. The way the scales function (or not) will be quite obvious to other people as well as yourself. Sometimes the law is involved as is the case in a divorce or arrangements for child custody. I mention this because from June 10th, 2025, you enter the biggest and best cycle for solutions, opportunities and expansion in 12 years and it is very much about courtship, the bedroom or parenthood.
