6/8/25: Cosmic Expansion and Contraction

Major energies flying this week as Neptune shifts into internal retrograde mode, bringing us back to where we've been all the months of the year so far. Venus meets with Uranus in her favorite sign of Taurus, but then hops into flirty Gemini hours later. And we start to get a glimpse of what life will be like when Uranus then hops into Gemini. Big changes ahead, tune into The Golden Astrologer Podcast and hear all about it!

This week’s astrology is laced with fate and full of feeling. A rare Yod—known as the Finger of God—forms between Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto, pointing us toward radical soul recalibration. At the same time, the New Moon in Cancer invites deep emotional reset, safety in surrender, and the courage to begin again. In this episode, we explore what it means to be cosmically chosen for a transformation, how to decode the messages of this rare celestial geometry, and why Jupiter’s presence expands both the stakes and the vision. This is a turning point—one you’ve been training for lifetimes to meet. 

It's a week for advancing your life in a major way when Jupiter challenges Neptune and asks us what our dreams are and how can we feel them and visualize them into being. Mars invites us to get organized and tune into our health as it enters Virgo for nearly two months. And the Solstice is upon us as the Sun enters Cancer at the end of the week.

Jupiter is entering Cancer — the sign of emotion, memory, home, and soul nourishment — and with it comes a powerful call to expand our capacity to feel, nurture, and belong. But just as this emotional tide rises, Jupiter forms tense squares to Saturn and Neptune, confronting us with the very boundaries, illusions, and energetic entanglements that restrict our Becoming. Meanwhile, a bright Full Moon in Sagittarius deepens the experience of ruler Jupiter's movement and Mercury converses with outer planets. All this and more on The Golden Astrologer Podcast!
