[August 13] Update

Hey guys! 💜 Todd and I will be visiting my brother on the West Coast until next Tuesday! It’s been almost 15 years since I’ve flown out to see him, he usually comes to see us, so I’m really excited for this trip.

I’ll still be keeping an eye on the subreddit while I’m away, but I won’t be very active. I’ll be back to my usual Arcwalking when I get home!

Horary Chart for August 11th, 3:51 PM

A Real-Life Lost-Object Horary Case Study

I had a really fun horary experiment yesterday and wanted to share it because it ended up being a great example of how lost-object horary works in practice. I had been playing my Nintendo DS, a little handheld game system, in bed before going to sleep, and sometime during the night it disappeared. I remembered having it beside me, but when I woke up later it was completely gone. We checked the bedroom, the floors, underneath everything, flipped the bed over, and eventually searched basically the whole house.

So I got desperate and cast a horary asking where my DS was!

I used Regiomontanus houses and traditional rulers. Sagittarius was rising, which made Jupiter my significator. Since the question was about a lost personal possession, I went to the 2nd house for the DS. The 2nd cusp was in Capricorn, so Saturn became the significator of the missing DS. Saturn was retrograde at about 14° Aries in the 4th house.

The first thing I wanted to know was whether the chart actually looked like I would recover it. The Moon was around 7° Leo and applying directly to Jupiter around 9° Leo, so the Moon was moving toward my significator. It would also go on to trine Saturn, the ruler of the DS.

In traditional lost-object horary, those are both useful recovery testimonies. The Moon being close to the querent's ruler can be an indication that the missing object is close to the owner. Saturn itself was angular in the 4th house, which was another reason I kept thinking this thing had to still be very close. An angular ruler of the 2nd is one of those placements that can describe the object still being inside the house.

Saturn being retrograde also caught my attention because retrograde significators in lost-object charts can describe something turning back up or being found when you go back over the same ground again. That ended up being very literal because I had already searched the bed. We had flipped the whole thing over. I had looked around the footboard already. The chart kept telling me that the object was close and recoverable, though, so I kept coming back to the same area.

Then I started looking at the location symbolism. Saturn was in the 4th house, and the traditional direction of the 4th is north. From where I was lying in bed, my head was toward the south side, so the foot of the bed was north of me. Mars ruled the 4th and was in Cancer, which adds another northern testimony. Saturn itself was in Aries, which can point east, so the directions were mixed rather than perfectly unanimous, but north kept repeating strongly enough that I paid attention to it.

The physical condition of Saturn was just as interesting. Saturn tends to describe dark, cramped, restricted places, especially places where something is enclosed or caught along a boundary. Aries is a fire sign, and traditional lost-object descriptions for fire signs can include walls, partitions, iron, or structural divisions. Aries is also cardinal, which can put something above the ground rather than lying flat on the floor and can also keep the object relatively close by.

The symbolism kept describing something nearby, hidden, north of me, and caught in some kind of narrow or structural space around the bed, possibly somewhere I had already checked.

So I went through the bed again.

When I brushed against the end of the mattress, the DS suddenly fell out. It had somehow become completely wedged between the mattress and the footboard. It was north of me, still right beside where I had been using it, above the floor at mattress height, hidden in a dark narrow gap, and physically caught against the structural boundary of the bed.

There was also one detail I only appreciated afterward. Saturn was in fall in Aries, and Mars, ruler of the 4th, was also in fall in Cancer. I would never use essential fall alone to predict that an object literally fell somewhere, but traditional lost-object charts can occasionally become very literal in that way. In this case the DS seems to have slipped down the bed from where I had left it and gotten trapped, but fell out when I finally made the right contact.

What I liked most about this example was the determination it gave me. My Mercury-Neptune-Uranus brain is constantly finding connections between things, and with that whole conjunction trine my retrograde, detrimented Jupiter in Virgo, those connections can get VERY pessimistic. I can start reading events as the universe telling me something is over or working against me, and because I already have so little energy to begin with, I can give in to that pretty quickly.

With the horary, though, I kept looking at this chart that was showing recovery and something still close to me, and it gave me this urge to keep checking and trust what I was seeing. I had already searched that bed and could have easily decided the DS was just gone somewhere impossible. Instead I went through it again and there it was! 😂 I was rewarded for the effort.

I’m really curious now whether any other Arcwalkers work with horary! I would love to hear your experiences or stories! 🌙🔍

Helpful Astro-Seek Tools

Who May Feel This Week the Most

Charts with placements from roughly 15°-25° of the fixed signs: Wednesday’s total solar eclipse lands at 20°02′ Leo, placing Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius placements in this degree range closest to the eclipse field. Personal planets and angles here can make the week register more directly through the house and natal planet involved.

Charts with early-degree placements, especially around 0°-6°: A second concentration is happening at the very beginning of the signs. Pluto sits near 4° Aquarius, Neptune near 4° Aries, and Uranus near 5° Gemini. Venus and Mercury move through this structure one after another while Mars crosses 0° Cancer and Chiron sits at 0° Taurus. If your chart has early-degree personal planets or angles, several separate transits may be touching the same natal territory within a short span.

The Arcwalker Almanac

Week of August 10 - 16

Hello, Arcwalkers!

Soooo... I guess we’re back to a weekly Almanac. FOR NOW. 😂 For real though, I have absolutely no idea if I’ll be doing these every week again, but there is one for this week! I may also wander back into daily Almanacs here and there too. Basically, you’re all just going to have to suffer the whims of my moods hahahah! 💜

TL;DR for General Transits

Aug 10: The Moon in Cancer squares Saturn at 2:30 AM and then spends nearly the entire day void-of-course. Meanwhile Venus becomes the main actor, trining Pluto at 1:08 PM before opposing Neptune at 5:02 PM. Mars trines the True Node at 8:42 PM. The Venus-Pluto-Neptune sequence begins building the week’s kite pattern, bringing the larger outer-planet story into more personal territory through Venusian themes of connection and desire.

Aug 11: A double sign change opens the morning. Mars enters Cancer at 3:30 AM and the Moon enters Leo at 3:38 AM. The Leo Moon immediately enters an active field, contacting Mercury, Pluto, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, and Jupiter across the day. Mercury opposes Pluto at 8:19 PM and trines Neptune at 10:38 PM, while Venus completes its trine to Uranus at 10:46 PM. This is one of the most interconnected days of the week.

Aug 12: Mars sextiles Chiron at 9:41 AM before the total solar eclipse at 20°02′ Leo perfects at 12:36 PM. The Moon becomes void immediately afterward. Mercury sextiles Uranus at 3:47 PM, completing the Mercury side of the early-week outer-planet geometry. The eclipse itself divides the week in half, with the first portion building toward it and the second portion carrying its aftermath.

Aug 13: The Moon enters Virgo at 5:18 AM. Mercury sextiles Venus at 11:23 AM, giving the morning a cooperative bridge between thought and relationship. The Moon squares Uranus at 2:23 PM and goes void at 2:24 PM. That void lasts for almost two full days.

Aug 14: The Moon is void-of-course in Virgo all day. There are no major exact non-lunar aspects. After several tightly woven days and a solar eclipse, Friday creates a strange open chamber in the middle of the week. The sky is still carrying everything that just happened, but there is very little new exact motion pushing the story forward.

Aug 15: Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 6:23 AM in Leo while the Moon is still void. The Moon finally enters Libra at 9:19 AM. By afternoon it squares Mars, trines Pluto, opposes Neptune, then trines Uranus. Mental and communicative expansion arrives first, followed by the lunar current switching back on and immediately engaging the same outer planets that shaped the beginning of the week.

Aug 16: The Libra Moon conjuncts Venus overnight, then sextiles Jupiter and Mercury before opposing Saturn late in the morning. Mars quincunxes Pluto at 10:15 PM. Mars is also closing in on its square to Neptune, exact early Monday morning, so the week ends with the Cancer Mars beginning to encounter the larger Aries/Aquarius background it entered earlier in the week.

Planetary Field Notes 🪐

Planetary Positions

Sun: 17°37′ - 24°20′ Leo
Moon: 13°02′ Cancer - 21°07′ Libra
Mercury: 00°50′ - 13°30′ Leo
Venus: 03°25′ - 10°11′ Libra
Mars: 29°14′ Gemini - 03°51′ Cancer
Jupiter: 09°00′ - 10°32′ Leo
Saturn: 14°34′ - 14°22′ Aries Rx
Uranus: 05°17′ - 05°27′ Gemini
Neptune: 04°07′ - 04°00′ Aries Rx
Pluto: 03°58′ - 03°48′ Aquarius Rx
Chiron: 00°51′ - 00°47′ Taurus Rx
True North Node: 29°50′ - 29°49′ Aquarius Rx

>Arcwalker Livvia: There are unusually strong dispositing centers this week. The Sun is at home in Leo while Venus is at home in Libra, giving both planets direct control over their own territory. Mercury and Jupiter in Leo route directly into the Sun.

>Mars changes the other side of the system when it enters Cancer. Mars enters Cancer and becomes disposed by the Moon, while Saturn and Neptune in Aries route through Mars and onward to the Moon. Using Saturn as the traditional ruler of Aquarius, Pluto eventually joins that same Mars-Moon chain.

>So even with a solar eclipse and the heavy Leo emphasis, the lunar current has enormous leverage over how much of the background field expresses from moment to moment. This becomes obvious once the Moon spends most of Monday void, eclipses the Sun Wednesday, and then disappears into another enormous void from Thursday afternoon through Saturday morning.

Aug 13 at 2:24 PM - Aug 15 at 9:19 AM

>AWL: The Moon tells a pretty clear story in the chart this week. Monday opens with a Cancer Moon that immediately hits Saturn and then goes silent for the rest of the day. Tuesday the Moon bursts into Leo and touches nearly every planet involved in the week’s larger configuration. Wednesday it reaches the Sun and becomes the eclipse itself.

>Then comes a stillness.

>The Virgo Moon receives only a short active window Thursday morning before squaring Uranus and beginning a void that consumes the rest of Thursday and every minute of Friday. By the time the Moon enters Libra Saturday morning, Mercury has already met Jupiter. The mental expansion arrives before the lunar current is ready to carry it anywhere.

>Once Libra opens, movement returns quickly. The Moon immediately reconnects with Mars, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn across the weekend. The lunar rhythm here feels almost tidal: activation, eclipse, suspension, then re-entry.

The Leo Solar Eclipse 🌑☀️

The total solar eclipse perfects Wednesday, August 12 at 12:36 PM CT at 20°02′ Leo.

This eclipse falls on the South Node side of the Leo-Aquarius axis. The True North Node is now in Aquarius, placing the South Node in Leo. That gives the lunation a different quality from a purely initiating Leo New Moon. Leo still carries visibility, personal authorship, creativity, pride, desire, performance, and the need for life to contain something that belongs distinctly to the self, but the South Node introduces a process of release or recognition of what has already been carried far enough.

Jupiter and Mercury are also in Leo, so the eclipse is happening inside a sign with significant amplification. The Sun itself is in domicile, making the Leo field pretty concentrated.

The eclipse degree makes 15°-25° of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius the most sensitive fixed territory. The house containing 20° Leo shows where the eclipse lands by Whole Sign, while natal planets contacting 20° describe what becomes personally woven into it.

>AWL: The August 12 eclipse belongs to Saros 126, linking it to earlier eclipses in 2008, 1990, and 1972. Each return moves the eclipse degree forward through the zodiac while carrying the same Saros family forward through time.

>This eclipse also begins the two-week eclipse corridor leading to the August 28 lunar eclipse in Pisces. Whatever enters the story around Wednesday therefore has somewhere else to travel. The solar eclipse opens the sequence, while the lunar eclipse at the end of the month becomes the next major point of development.

>I also like looking beyond the Saros family to previous eclipses near the same degree of Leo. Eclipses around 20° Leo appeared in 2018, 1999, 1980, and 1961, giving another historical trail to follow. The Saros cycle tells us where this eclipse came from as an astronomical family, while the degree history lets us look at other periods when this same part of the zodiac was activated.

>That gives us two different ways to watch the eclipse: through the lineage it belongs to and through the piece of zodiac it is returning to. For anyone who keeps journals, old calendars, or transit notes, those earlier dates may be worth revisiting before Wednesday arrives.

Aspect Patterns

Aug 10 - Aug 13: The Envelope

The week’s larger aspect pattern develops gradually across the days leading into the eclipse.

The outer-planet framework is already waiting in the background. Uranus and Pluto hold their Air trine while Neptune connects into both through sextiles. Venus reaches this structure first from Libra and completes the Uranus-Pluto trine into a Grand Air Trine. At the same time, Venus opposes Neptune, turning that triangle into a Kite.

This gives Venus a prominent role at the beginning of the pattern. The opposition to Neptune stretches Venus toward an image of what could be, while the Air trines keep movement passing through the rest of the configuration. Something connected with relationship or value can begin shifting as the difference between the lived experience and the imagined version becomes more noticeable.

Mercury then enters the same structure from Leo.

Mercury opposes Pluto while trining Neptune, then moves into sextiles with Uranus and Venus. That adds a second opposition axis to the pattern and expands the earlier Kite into the larger five-planet Envelope. The Mercury-Pluto opposition brings attention toward what sits beneath the surface, while Mercury’s softer links give that information several routes through the chart.

This is where the pattern starts to feel like one continuous process: Venus encounters the story first through experience then Mercury follows by trying to understand what that experience means. The same outer planets remain involved while the personal planet carrying the material changes.

Uranus becomes an important bridge between those stages. Venus trines Uranus on August 11, followed by Mercury sextiling Uranus on August 12. A change in perspective or an unexpected development can move something from the Venus side of the pattern into Mercury’s hands, where it becomes easier to name.

Supportive Arcs

Aug 11 at 11:36 AM - around 3:20 PM

This is a smaller supportive pocket before the eclipse. The Leo Moon has just completed its sextile with Venus in Libra and is applying toward its conjunction with Jupiter. In traditional electional astrology, that movement from one benefic toward another gives the Moon a helpful sequence to carry forward.

Venus is useful here because she is in her own sign of Libra. Jupiter becomes the Moon’s next traditional destination, giving the afternoon a supportive current for something you would like to receive warmly.

The window closes around mid-afternoon as the Moon moves within the traditional 12° combustion range of the Sun and continues toward Wednesday’s eclipse. I would treat this as a pocket for ordinary matters that benefit from cooperation or encouragement.

Aug 15 at 7:05 PM - Aug 16 at 7:20 AM

This is the most supportive electional stretch I can find this week.

By Saturday evening, the Libra Moon has moved beyond its square to Mars and its opposition to Neptune. It then begins applying toward Venus in Libra, the ruler of the sign the Moon is traveling through. That gives the Moon a strong dispositor and directs its next movement toward a benefic with essential dignity.

The sequence continues overnight. The Moon conjoins Venus at 2:10 AM, then sextiles Jupiter at 4:02 AM before reaching Mercury at 7:20 AM. Mercury has just completed its conjunction with Jupiter, so the Moon moves from Venus into a Jupiter-Mercury story before its later opposition with Saturn.

The heart of this window falls around 2:10 AM - 4:02 AM, when the Moon has joined its dignified ruler Venus and is applying directly toward Jupiter. The larger evening-to-morning arc can support relationship matters, creative work, agreements, writing, or anything that benefits from goodwill and receptivity.

After 7:20 AM, the Moon’s next traditional application becomes its opposition to Saturn at 11:27 AM, bringing the supportive sequence to its natural stopping point.

Aug 9, 11:28 AM: Mercury enters Leo.

This past week had a lot going on around my public astrology work and the people around it. Jupiter spent the week moving through my 1st house and perfecting an opposition with natal Saturn in my 7th, while Uranus in my 11th remained close to a sextile with my Ascendant. My community kept growing while I was figuring out how much room astrology gets to take up in my life.

Aug 3: Chiron Stations in My 10th

Chiron stationed retrograde at 0°52′ Taurus in my 10th house, square my Aquarius Sun and trine my Virgo Moon.

I woke around 3 AM crying over a movie I had watched with my family the night before called Mask. The whole thing hit my Ascendant-Chiron conjunction. Rocky’s facial difference shapes how people see him before they know him, and the movie keeps returning to the person underneath that first impression.

I could also tell where the story was going almost from the beginning, so watching it felt like a countdown. Every sweet part carried the awareness that something painful was coming. I loved the movie, which made it hit harder, and I woke up hours later still carrying it.

By morning I had more chart requests waiting for me. Mom and Dad were getting ready to leave on their camping trip, and I felt left out watching them go while also realizing I had an entire day of astrology sitting in front of me.

Aug 4: Mars Opposes My Venus

Mercury perfected its trine to natal Pluto just after midnight. With Mercury in my 12th-house Cancer and Pluto tied to family through my 4th house, it fit the feelings around Mom and Dad leaving on their first trip with the new camper.

I have camped plenty. What I wanted was the time with them. They are getting older, and I want to take as many trips with them as I can while they still travel this way. This first run was basically their practice round though, and my parents would rather die than let me watch them fumble with new equipment. 😂 I get to come on the next one.

I also received some kind feedback on my readings. One Arcwalker complimented the depth of my analysis, and another person told me my work could easily carry a large price tag. The Aries Moon trined my natal Venus during that stretch, bringing a pleasant little Venus moment through other people valuing what I had made.

Mars was moving into an opposition with my natal Venus while I was watching a YouTube video about emotions. The guy started with the familiar question, “What are your emotions trying to tell you?” which has always frustrated me because my emotions do not arrive with subtitles. 😂

Then he changed it to: “What are your emotions trying to make you do?”

And it clicked!!

My Mars is conjunct my North Node in Capricorn in the 6th, so action can happen fast enough that I miss the space between a need and what I start doing about it. Capricorn wants to build something from the feeling. This gave me a new way to catch that process earlier.

Venus fits here through preference and value. With Mars opposing Venus, I could start noticing what an emotion was pushing me toward and whether that action actually matched what I valued.

Aug 5: The Taurus Moon Reaches My 6th House

The Moon moved through Taurus and my 10th house, bringing my astrology work into focus again. I had made a comment about the Steven Forrest controversy and found myself watching how people responded. I added more astrology after a moderator asked for it, then spent part of the morning following the story further.

Around midday, the Taurus Moon began trining my Capricorn 6th-house placements. It reached my North Node around 12:44 PM and Mars around 1:54 PM.

I finished an Arcwalk, worked through a follow-up and completed another chart request. Then I helped Dad move camping wood and later replaced filters around the house.

This was a 10th-house Moon feeding my 6th-house Mars-North Node. Public astrology work blended into maintenance work without much separation between them. I spent the same transit interpreting charts and hauling myself through household tasks.

The 9th-house background kept appearing too. The Steven Forrest story had me thinking about what happens when an astrologer becomes publicly known, while a random Reddit comment sent me into research about Jesus and Judas. Saturn and Neptune moving through my 9th have given me plenty of material around belief and the responsibility attached to what people teach.

Aug 6: Jupiter Opposes My Saturn

Thursday became one of the strongest examples of the week.

The Steven Forrest discussion was still moving when I came across another Reddit post criticizing people who wanted free astrology readings. I answered from my own experience giving readings away, and my comment started getting attention. The original poster blocked me while people continued responding to what I had written.

Venus was finishing Virgo and preparing to enter Libra, my 3rd house, during the same stretch. That timing caught my attention because the whole exchange was about value being expressed through communication. I was explaining why I keep money outside my readings while Venus was entering her own sign in the house I associate with writing and conversation.

Later Todd and I started talking about date nights.

The conversation centered on scheduling. I had started protecting certain hours for astrology, and Todd felt that made planning harder. For me, the issue reached deeper because I had spent years shaping my time around his schedule. Creating a structure for my own work brought up the question of how partnership adjusts when I begin claiming more territory.

By evening the Taurus Moon was quincunx my natal Venus.

Then, around 6:27 PM, Jupiter in my 1st perfected its opposition to natal Saturn in my 7th.

That is the transit I keep coming back to for this day. Jupiter in the 1st describes the expansion happening around my own life and identity. Natal Saturn in the 7th describes the relationship structure that has existed alongside me for years. The opposition brought those two sides into direct conversation.

Todd and I ended up in a large fight, and I stayed with Mom while I worked through the reaction. He drove over later and asked whether he could come inside. I chose space and stayed with her.

Pluto moving through my 7th adds a slower background to the same story. Relationship has become one of the places where questions of power and accommodation keep surfacing.

Aug 7: The 11th House

The Moon entered Gemini and my profected 11th house shortly after midnight. I woke up working through the aftermath with Todd through writing. By morning we had exchanged messages and found enough room to talk again.

Venus also made its quincunx with Chiron late that morning. I watched that adjustment show up through interruptions around the workday. Dad needed help with the camper just as I sat down to work, while Todd’s rescheduled appointment changed the dog plans we had built around Mom and Dad's friend John coming over.

The Moon kept moving through my 11th while I worked on Arcwalks and prepared the new sign-up post. It trined natal Saturn around 2:59 PM, and I posted sign-ups at 3:59 PM.

By 5:25 PM I had three spots left.

Around 6:01 PM, Venus in Libra perfected its trine to my Aquarius Sun.

The final spot filled at 7:16 PM.

I also spent the afternoon changing parts of the subreddit structure and adjusting the sign-up system. Uranus is moving through this same Gemini 11th house while sextiling my Ascendant, and I can see that transit through the way the community keeps changing shape around me.

Venus trine Sun fit the response I was getting from people too. Arcwalkers were leaving kind feedback while I was figuring out how I wanted the subreddit to feel for the people entering it.

Todd also found the ring I had thrown during our fight.

A tiny Venus epilogue. 😂

Aug 8: Moon Trioctile Pluto on the Deck

Saturday gave me a few small transit examples I love. Dad’s friend John was visiting, so I went outside to have coffee with them on the deck. I could feel myself becoming reactive as Dad and John talked easily with each other. I would enter the conversation and experience the response differently.

Around 8:43 AM, the Gemini Moon in my 11th made a waxing trioctile to Pluto in Aquarius in my 7th.

The 11th-house Moon described the social environment while 7th-house Pluto brought more weight to how I was experiencing the other people in front of me. Pluto also carries a connection with my parents’ home through my natal 4th-house Pluto, which made the setting fit the symbolism in a way I enjoyed.

Mom came outside later and the experience softened. I stayed on the deck with her for a while before heading home.

The Gemini Moon stayed in my 11th through the day, and people remained part of the story. I worked on astrology surrounding family friends and thought about a post on transit technique.

The Venus-Sun trine from Friday was still separating, and I could feel some of that in the repair. Earlier in the day I had left my laptop at Mom and Dad's, and Todd offered to go retrieve it for me. His urgency meant a lot after the scheduling conflict earlier in the week.

Aug 9: Mercury Enters My 1st

Mercury entered Leo and my 1st house at 11:28 AM today.

I spent the surrounding hours rebuilding the weekly Almanac, researching the Leo eclipse and digging further into the Envelope pattern leading into it. I also went back through traditional electional rules because I wanted the Supportive Arcs to have more substance.

Apparently Mercury entered Leo and decided the weekly Almanac deserved another round.

So here we are. 😂

⚠️ Pet loss / euthanasia mentioned below.

Monday, Aug. 10: Mom and I are meeting with our spiritual group at Pat’s house, though this gathering will be different from our usual group days. Her 12-year-old Great Dane, Dixie, is being put to sleep, and we are going over to support Pat and give Dixie plenty of love while she goes.

On that day, Venus trines Pluto and opposes Neptune, bringing love into contact with mortality and grief. Mercury’s square to Chiron also suits the conversations surrounding something painful. I have been through three dog euthanasias myself, so being present for someone else’s dog gives me a different place inside that symbolism. I can use some of what those experiences taught me to help Pat through hers.

Tuesday and Wednesday: These are mostly preparation days before our trip to visit my brother. Mars enters Cancer early Tuesday, which puts it into my 12th house and shifts a lot of my activity toward the things happening behind the scenes before we leave. Packing and airport planning fit that nicely.

Mercury spends Tuesday and Wednesday making aspects to Pluto, Neptune and Uranus, which also feels appropriate for figuring things out as we go. Wednesday’s Leo solar eclipse lands in my 1st house, right before I physically leave home and enter a different environment for several days. It feels like an interesting threshold to cross before the trip.

Thursday, Aug. 13: Todd and I leave around noon to visit my brother on the West Coast, almost exactly as Mercury sextiles Venus at 11:23 AM.

I love this one for the trip. Mercury is my annual time lord, while Venus rules my current Solar Return. Venus is also moving through Libra and my 3rd house, the house associated with siblings and movement through the local environment. I am traveling with Todd so my brother can introduce us to his city.

The rest of the week carries that Mercury-Venus theme forward. My brother hosts what sounds like a live storytelling event where writers share their work over drinks, which feels very Mercury-coded. He is also taking us around to places he likes, including a tea shop that I already love through the tea he has mailed me over the years. Getting to finally walk into the actual shop feels like a cute Venus-in-the-3rd manifestation.

Saturday, Aug. 15: Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Leo. This feels fitting for being away from home, exploring and taking in my brother’s world. Jupiter brings the broader horizon while Mercury gathers the stories attached to it.

The Moon also enters Libra Saturday morning, moving through my 3rd house for the rest of the weekend. That puts even more emphasis on my brother and the experience of being shown around somewhere through another person’s eyes.

After spending the first half of the week preparing to leave, the weekend looks like wandering around inside someone else’s neighborhood and collecting pieces of their life.

Current Arcwalk Cycle

I plan to start this Arcwalk cycle tomorrow! I should be able to get through a few readings Monday through Wednesday. Todd and I leave Thursday to visit my brother, so the pace will slow down from Thursday through Tuesday while I’m away. I’ll still keep the cycle moving when I have room, then pick the pace back up once I’m home. ❤️

Welcome to Arcwalker Astrology: Start Here 🌌

Hello and welcome to r/ArcwalkerAstrology! I have been needing to make a new welcome post so here we are!

This is a free, collaborative astrology learning space for chart interpretation, questions, personal reflection, sky-watching, research, and the many strange patterns that become visible when we compare astrology with lived experience.

I’m Livvia, the creator and moderator of this subreddit. I mainly interpret through a tropical astrology lens, though you do not have to use tropical astrology or practice the way I do to participate here. Other systems, techniques, house systems, and astrological traditions are completely welcome.

You can bring natal charts, transits, progressions, solar or lunar returns, synastry, composite charts, mundane astrology, asteroids, electional charts, experimental techniques, or nearly anything else that involves astrology. You can ask a direct question, share something you have noticed, explore a personal experience, or simply invite people to look at an interesting chart with you.

Beginner questions are welcome. Advanced, niche, highly specific, and wonderfully off-the-wall astrology is welcome too.

This Is a Learning Subreddit

The purpose of this space is to let people learn astrology by watching interpretations develop, comparing techniques, following charts over time, and seeing how symbolism connects with real experiences.

That is why readings and interpretations offered here must remain in the public comment section. Please do not direct people toward private readings, DMs, booking pages, Discord servers, email conversations, paid services, or somewhere they must go to receive “the rest” of an interpretation.

Everything offered through this subreddit is free. There are no price tags, sales funnels, or promotional pathways hiding behind the astrology. External resources can still be shared when they help a discussion, but the actual astrology should remain understandable and learnable within the Reddit thread.

What Is an Arcwalk?

An Arcwalk is a full written chart reading from me. I read the chart as a connected story, looking at repeating themes, current activations, timing, lived experience, and how the different pieces of the chart speak to one another.

I usually organize full Arcwalks through sign-up cycles so I can keep track of everyone I am working with. At other times, I may reply to posts with a shorter interpretation, answer a follow-up question, or join a conversation without turning it into a complete Arcwalk.

Using a Livvia or Arcwalk request flair tells me that you would specifically like me to consider your chart. It does not guarantee an immediate answer or automatically place the post into a current Arcwalk cycle. I work through many charts and ongoing conversations here, so my reply pace can change depending on my energy and how many people are already waiting.

For predictive work or precise timing, please include an accurate birth date, birth time, and birthplace. If you do not want that information displayed publicly, you may send the private birth details to me directly. The actual reading will still be posted publicly in your thread.

If your birth time is unknown or uncertain, please mention that. This helps us understand which timing techniques and house placements can be used confidently.

Understanding the Post Flairs

There are three main doors for chart questions:

Livvia Request means you’re specifically asking me to look at your chart or question when I have room, though anyone in the subreddit is still welcome to respond.
Community Request means you are opening the chart/question to the subreddit as a whole. I may still join these conversations when I have room, but they are not automatically added to my Livvia request path.
Arcwalk Request means you are specifically putting that chart or question forward for a full Arcwalk. These are the posts I use for Arcwalk sign-ups and tracking. If you haven’t secured a spot in a current cycle, the flair itself does not guarantee an Arcwalk, but it lets me know that’s what you’re hoping to receive.

The Red Upvote and Blue Downvote

The vote symbols beside the subreddit title also work as my little status indicator.

🔴 Red upvote: I am actively working on readings or Arcwalks that day.
🔵 Blue downvote: I am taking a break from readings.

A blue downvote can mean I am still present, moderating, reading conversations, checking notifications, or replying when something naturally catches my attention. But I am not actively working on readings.

Why This Work Matters to Me

Astrology is therapeutic work for me. My mind can become caught in cycles of stress, and an Arcwalk gives that energy somewhere focused to go. I become absorbed in the chart and the person born from it, which gives my own brain relief even when the material is heavy.

That exchange is part of why everything here is free. Talking with people about their arcs helps me understand my own, while the work gives me purpose and connection.

I have a heavy sixth house, so transits activating it can shape my daily capacity. On blue-downvote days, depression has made readings harder to reach. I may still be present around the subreddit, while the red upvote marks days when I am actively working through Arcwalks.

Why I Don’t Accept Payment

I do not accept payment for readings through this subreddit or privately.

Once money becomes involved, the reading can become much harder for me to manage mentally. I start feeling responsible for producing on a particular timeline or at a particular level regardless of where my energy is that day, and that pressure can push me toward burnout very quickly.

Keeping my astrology work free gives me the room to work at my own pace. If I am having a difficult mental health day, I can step away without feeling that someone has paid for something I am failing to deliver. When I am doing well, I can follow a chart as much as I want without worrying about whether the amount of time I am spending makes financial sense.

This freedom is a large part of what allows me to keep doing this.

What Else I Post Here

When I have room, I sometimes make Mooncasts, planetary station arcs, ingress posts, transit check-ins, Almanacs, or other pieces that follow the current sky.

I also want to grow the research side of this subreddit. I have ideas involving the move-in chart for my current home, mundane astrology connected with real-time events, personal chart experiments, and other projects that do not fit neatly into a standard reading request.

I have not explored every branch of that side of the subreddit yet, but I want this space to keep becoming more than a waiting room for readings. I see it as a living astrology notebook where questions, observations, experiments, and longer research trails can grow alongside the Arcwalks.

Anyone Can Interpret Here

Anyone is welcome to offer astrology interpretations on this subreddit. You do not need to wait for me, agree with me, or use the same techniques I use.

When possible, explain what placement, aspect, timing technique, or symbolic connection led you to your interpretation. This gives the person something they can understand while also helping everyone else learn.

I am very open to unusual astrology. A comment will not be removed simply because the interpretation is unfamiliar, experimental, spiritual, or outside my own method.

Sensitive or difficult chart signatures can also be discussed honestly. The issue is whether astrology is being used to frighten someone or make them feel trapped by their chart.

Fearmongering is not welcome here.

Please report a comment if someone gives you a reading that feels threatening, fatalistic, controlling, or deliberately frightening. Reporting it lets me look at the exact wording and decide how it should be handled.

Different astrologers may see different possibilities in the same chart. Nobody should use that uncertainty as a weapon.

Please Keep Answered Posts Up

Posts and charts must remain available for at least one week after you receive a reading or detailed help.

This subreddit is a learning archive. Other people may be following the discussion or waiting to see how your experience develops. Deleting everything immediately after receiving an answer removes that opportunity from the entire community.

If you delete a post or chart within the first week after receiving a detailed reading from me, I will not provide another free reading in the future.

You are always welcome to edit out identifying information while leaving the astrological discussion itself available.

Arcwalker and Arcbound Member Flairs

Member flairs are separate from post flairs.

If you participate in this subreddit in good standing by commenting, discussing astrology, or joining the community while following the rules, I may give you the Arcwalker flair.

People who return regularly, continue their chart conversations, and have worked with me enough that I have begun to know their chart as an ongoing story may become Arcbound.

These flairs are not professional credentials or judgments of astrological skill. They are trail markers showing your relationship with this community and how long we have been walking the charts together.

If I Missed You, Please Poke Me

I work with a lot of Arcwalkers here. I have systems for tracking readings, replies, and follow-up questions, but I am still a human being with a very busy notification pile.

If you have not heard from me in a while, it is completely okay to poke me again. Replying in the original thread helps keep the chart history together and makes it easier for me to see where we left off.

You are not being rude or demanding by reminding me. I would rather receive a gentle second notification than unknowingly leave someone waiting because I missed the first one.

Welcome to the Walk

You are welcome here whether you are learning your first placements or following a technique you have studied for years. Bring your questions and the arcs you are currently living through. This subreddit grows through the astrology we explore together.

The Arcwalker Almanac - Wednesday, July 8, 2026

Good morning, Arcwalkers!

Today begins with the Moon still in Aries, carrying the sparks from yesterday’s Last Quarter Moon and Neptune station. The first half of the day may feel like waking up inside something already in motion. Aries still wants a thread to be followed before the mind has finished naming the whole shape of it.

Before dawn, the Aries Moon squares Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Mercury is moving backward through the old rooms of Cancer, pulling on family language and the instinct to protect what feels vulnerable. The Aries Moon has less patience for the long emotional hallway. If words come out sharp or unfinished, the chart already describes the tangle. The feeling may need time to catch up with the action.

By early afternoon, the Moon trines Venus in Leo, and the fire finds a warmer outlet. This is the part of the day I would use for anything that needs visibility or a little beauty around it. Posting may feel easier here. So can creative work, compliments, reaching out, or letting something be seen with more courage than you had in the morning.

After this trine, the Aries Moon has made its last major aspect, so the brighter window may feel useful but temporary. Since this void only lasts a couple hours, it may feel more like a brief pause than a full stop for the day.

At 3:30 PM, the Moon enters Taurus, and the whole pace lowers into the body. Aries burns through the first half of the day. Taurus asks what can actually be held after the spark has passed. This is better for food, money, house tasks, grounding work, or anything that needs steadier hands. Since the Moon is exalted here, the afternoon may feel more supportive once the urgency drains out of the room.

Shortly after entering Taurus, the Moon conjoins Chiron. This brings a sensitive root into the steadier part of the day. The places tied to comfort, worth, resources, or the body may become easier to feel. Something can be soothing and sore at the same time. The Taurus Moon can help hold the tender thing without rushing to solve it.

By evening, the Taurus Moon moves into squares with Jupiter in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius. This is where comfort may run into pressure from visibility or the larger social story. A small need for steadiness may bump against a bigger demand to perform or respond to where everything is going. The evening works better when the goal stays close to the ground. Let the body have a vote before the future starts making speeches.

Key Timings

Opening Window

4:24 AM: The Aries Moon squares Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Morning begins with a clash between fast instinct and emotional memory. Words may need extra translation.

Live Field

1:41 PM: The Aries Moon trines Venus in Leo. This brings a warmer fire current into the day. Creativity and visibility may come through more easily. The Moon enters VOC after this aspect.
3:30 PM: The Moon enters Taurus. The Moon moves into exaltation, shifting the day from Aries urgency into Taurus steadiness and material care.
4:29 PM: The Taurus Moon conjoins Chiron in Taurus. The body, worth, money, food, land, and stability story may feel tender or revealing.

Evening Report

6:45 PM: The Taurus Moon squares Jupiter in Leo. Desire for comfort may meet visibility or growth.
11:34 PM: The Taurus Moon squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. The evening may bring deeper pressure around future plans or the cost of staying in control.

Planet Motion Watch

I wanted to add this because I like to track where everyone is at in their station story. I really wanted to call this The Station Station, but I figured that might be too confusing hahah. I am so cheesy. Anyway, this is a simple way to see who is close to a station and who is still farther down the track.

Mercury Rx in Cancer → stations direct July 23 at 16° Cancer
Next stop: about 15 days

Saturn in Aries → stations retrograde July 26 at 14° Aries
Next stop: about 18 days

Chiron in Taurus → stations retrograde August 3 at 0° Taurus
Next stop: about 26 days

Uranus in Gemini → stations retrograde September 10 at about 5° Gemini
Next stop: about 64 days

Venus in Leo → stations retrograde October 3 at 8° Scorpio
Next stop: about 87 days

Pluto Rx in Aquarius → stations direct October 15 at 3° Aquarius
Next stop: about 99 days

Jupiter in Leo → stations retrograde December 12 at 27° Leo
Next stop: about 157 days

Neptune Rx in Aries → stations direct December 12 at 1° Pisces
Next stop: about 157 days

Mars in Gemini → stations retrograde January 10, 2027 at 10° Virgo
Next stop: about 186 days

Pluto in Aquarius → Saturn + Neptune in Aries → Mars + Uranus in Gemini → Mercury Rx + Sun in Cancer → Moon + Chiron in Taurus → Jupiter + Venus in Leo → back to Sun in Cancer → Loop.

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 0° to 5° and 23° to 29°.

Who may feel this the most:

23° to 24° cardinal placements may feel the Moon square Mercury retrograde from Aries to Cancer. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn receive the sharper contact.
28° to 29° fire placements may feel the Moon trine Venus from Aries to Leo. Aries and Leo receive the direct fire current, while Sagittarius can catch the trine by sign.
0° to 2° fixed placements may feel the Taurus Moon conjoining Chiron and squaring Jupiter in Leo. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius receive the fixed sign pressure.
4° to 5° fixed placements may feel the Taurus Moon square Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. Taurus and Aquarius receive the direct square, Scorpio receives the opposition by sign, and Leo receives the other fixed corner.
Fixed risings may feel the second half of the day more personally, especially in a Moon, Venus, Jupiter or Pluto profection year.

Yesterday's Aspects - Moon in Aries 9th house

Global: 4° Neptune stations retrograde in Aries 9th.
Global: 14° Moon conjoins Saturn in Aries 9th.
Global: 15° Last Quarter Moon in Aries 9th squares Sun in Cancer 12th.
Natal: 8° Moon in Aries 9th sextiles my Saturn in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 8° Moon in Aries 9th squares my Mars-NN in Cap 6th.
Natal: 13° Moon in Aries 9th quincunxes my Jupiter in Virgo 2nd.
Natal: 14° Moon in Aries 9th squares my Uranus in Cap 6th.
Natal: 17° Moon in Aries 9th squares my Neptune-Mercury in Cap 6th.
Natal: 20° Moon conjoins my MC in Aries 9th.

Yesterday ended up feeling like the Aries Moon was carrying something through my 9th house and up toward my MC. The day had a lot of motion in it.

Todd had his first dog day camp client at our house, and that went well, but he ran out of time to bring our dogs over to my parents’ house before the new pup arrived. That was supposed to be his job, so I was crabby about that part, but I brought the dogs over while he got started. This made me think of the Aries Moon joining transit Saturn and pressing on my 6th house planets by square.

Once the dogs were out of the house, though, the house felt strangely open. I am used to being surrounded by dogs all the time, so being in a dogless house for a bit felt eerie, but also helpful. I was able to work with fewer moving bodies around me. I was reminded of the Last Quarter Moon square the Cancer Sun in my 12th house with this one. The public work was still there, but it was happening from inside a quieter house.

My parents live on a river, so when we went back to pick up the dogs, Rogan got her swim time. She loves chasing ball throws off the dock, and it turned into one of a sweeter paths of the day. That part keeps bringing me back to the Cancer Sun in my 12th: family land, hidden water, the comfort of returning to a place that already knows me, and Rogan having her own river ritual.

I also watered the new trees, which was soothing in itself. This made me think of the Aries Moon moving toward my MC after the work of planting them the day before. My neighbor came over and talked to me for most of it, which made the watering less relaxing because I had to mask through an unplanned conversation.

Still, I got peaches and catnip out of it, and he left the trees alone, so I am taking that as neighborly acceptance for now. This made me think of the Moon sextile my Saturn in Aquarius in the 7th mixed with the Moon quincunx my Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd. There was a workable social container, but also an adjustment around resources and routine. He entered the task while I was watering, I had to stay neighborly longer than I wanted, and the exchange still ended with Virgo-Jupiter offerings: fruit and herbs!

The biggest astrology piece of the day was that I noticed a pattern with my daily profections. I have been wanting to use them more, but I keep forgetting, then remembering again when the daily profection is in Aquarius or Pisces. So apparently I have a twelve-day cycle where I care about this system for a day, lose the thread for eleven days, then pick it back up again. That felt so perfect for Neptune stationing retrograde in my 9th house. The timing practice itself came back into focus.

I also started casting a chart for my birth time every day, because even though the angles only move about a degree each day, the Moon and Part of Fortune change enough to tell a more specific story.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Aries 9th house to Taurus 10th house

Global: 23° Moon in Aries 9th squares Mercury Rx in Cancer 12th.
Global: 28° Moon in Aries 9th trines Venus in Leo 1st.
Global: 0° Moon conjoins Chiron in Taurus 10th.
Global: 1° Moon in Taurus 10th squares Jupiter in Leo 1st.
Global: 4° Moon in Taurus 10th squares Pluto Rx in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 22° Moon in Aries 9th quincunxes my Pluto in Scorpio 4th.
Natal: 6° Mars in Gemini 11th sextiles my Chiron in Leo 1st.
Natal: 25° Moon in Aries 9th trines my Venus in Sagittarius 5th.
Natal: 0° Moon in Taurus 10th trines my Moon in Virgo 2nd.
Natal: 1° Moon in Taurus 10th squares my Sun in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 17° Sun in Cancer 12th opposes my Neptune in Capricorn 6th.

Today is grocery run day, though Todd will be the one doing that. This is one of those funny Saturn-in-relationship things for us because my Saturn opposes Todd’s Moon, and I am an extremely frugal person. Extreme. We have learned that if I stay home, we end up with more food in the house, and I also don't have to know exactly how much it cost. That makes my Saturn happy. I would catch it if Todd was racking up wild grocery bills, but I was basically banned from shopping with him for this reason, hahah. With the Moon entering Taurus in my 10th and then trining my Virgo Moon in the 2nd, the food, money, body, and resource thread is right there today.

I also have group therapy today. I skipped last week because I was still coming down from that bad run-in with my psychiatrist, so it has been a couple weeks since I have gone. When it is nice out, we usually drive around to parks or hiking trails, so I am glad I will get to move around a bit. And I see a great connection! Mars in Gemini in my 11th sextiling my Chiron in Leo in the 1st: movement, group therapy space, talking, and letting the body help me come back into myself a little.

Otherwise, I would really love to get one Arcwalk done before group therapy, so I will cross my fingers. The Aries Moon trine my Venus in Sagittarius feels like the best little window for that, especially before the Moon leaves Aries and the day gets more Taurus. If I can catch that fire before the afternoon turns more embodied and errand-shaped, I may be able to get one more reading out onto the road.

Current Arcwalk Cycle

I am so happy I got the two Arcwalks done yesterday! Today I have group therapy, so the day has a little less room in it, but I am still hoping to keep the path moving. As long as I can get another one out before then, in about 5 hours from posting this, I will have another Arcwalk done today too! I think it should work...?

The Arcwalker Almanac - Tuesday, July 7, 2026

Good morning, Arcwalkers!

Today keeps the Moon in Aries while Neptune stations retrograde at 4° Aries. The field is active, but the signal may come through symbols first. Aries wants to move, begin, decide, and follow the spark. Neptune stationing in Aries makes the spark feel dreamier or more spiritually charged.

This can be a morning where you wake up with the urge to handle something right away, whether that means sending the message, starting the task, taking the walk, or getting the body moving before the mind has fully caught up.

With Neptune stationing, though, the impulse may carry more meaning than it first appears to, so it may help to notice what keeps calling your attention before you rush past the symbol inside the spark.

By midday, the Moon conjoins Saturn in Aries. This is where the fire asks for a frame. It can be useful for doing something with structure around it, like starting a hard task or choosing the next step deliberately instead of scattering the energy everywhere.

The Last Quarter Moon comes in after that, with the Aries Moon squaring the Cancer Sun. This feels like an echo of yesterday’s Sun-Saturn square, only now the pressure moves through the Moon. Cancer may be the part of you trying to protect an old feeling that got stirred yesterday. Aries is the part to answer right away. The tension may come through noticing when urgency is carrying yesterday’s tenderness into today’s first reaction.

Key Timings

Opening Window

5:55 AM: Neptune stations retrograde at 4° Aries. This is the main station of the day. The Aries impulse may become more symbolic or spiritual.

Live Field

12:14 PM: The Aries Moon conjoins Saturn in Aries. This may bring a more serious emotional tone or a moment where instinct meets limitation.
2:29 PM: Last Quarter Moon: the Aries Moon squares the Cancer Sun. This may echo yesterday’s Sun-Saturn square, moving that pressure into the body and mood as a decision point between the part that wants to act and the part that still needs protection.

Overnight Carryover

Wednesday, 4:24 AM: The Aries Moon squares Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Overnight, action and emotional memory may clash. Words may need more translation.

Dispositor Chains

Pluto in Aquarius → Saturn + Neptune + Moon in Aries → Mars + Uranus in Gemini → Mercury Rx + Sun in Cancer [← Jupiter + Venus in Leo ← Chiron in Taurus] → back to Moon in Aries → Loop.

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 2° to 6° / 12° to 17° / 21° to 25°.

Who may feel this the most:

2° to 6° placements may feel Neptune stationing at 4° Aries. Aries gets the conjunction, Cancer and Capricorn get the square, Libra gets the opposition, Leo and Sagittarius get the trine, and Gemini and Aquarius get the sextile.
12° to 17° placements may feel the Moon conjunct Saturn in Aries and the Last Quarter Moon square the Cancer Sun. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn get the pressure point, while Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aquarius may feel the Aries side more supportively.
21° to 25° placements may feel the overnight Moon square Mercury retrograde from Aries to Cancer. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn get the sharper contact, while fire and air placements may feel the Aries Moon side, and earth and water placements may feel the Mercury retrograde in Cancer side.
Cardinal risings may feel the day most personally, especially in a Moon, Saturn, Sun, Mars, or Mercury profection year, or if Neptune is strongly activated in the chart.

Yesterday’s Almanac said the wild card was the Sun in Cancer opposing my natal Uranus in Capricorn...

For anyone newer to my chart, Cancer is my 12th house and Capricorn is my 6th house, so the Sun was pulling an old private home need into contact with my natal Uranus in the house of work and routines. Right after I posted yesterday's Almanac, my dad came outside and said, “So, do you want to buy trees today?”

I have wanted trees along the fence line since moving here two years ago, but the house needed other projects first. The fence had to be built, painting had to happen, etc. The tree idea kept waiting in the background until my dad chose yesterday, of course, to make it the day.

This also fits him. My dad has Uranus on his Leo Ascendant, so Uranus can come through his body and sudden decisions. A lot of astrologers connect the Sun with father figures, and in my chart Saturn often carries that shape too, but yesterday the Sun and Uranus were both speaking through him. The father figure brought the interruption. My natal Uranus in the 6th received it as a surprise workday.

Before the tree quest began, the Pisces Moon was still in my 8th house trining Mercury retrograde in Cancer in my 12th. That felt like an old private wish coming back through the home channel. The Moon also squared my Venus in Sagittarius, which fits the beauty desire coming with a body-cost attached.

Then the Moon entered Aries and everything sped up. Aries is my 9th house, where a lot of my public astrology work lives, and I told my dad to give me some time to reply to people, so I flew through notifications. The Moon sextiled my Aquarius Sun, trined Jupiter in Leo, and sextiled Uranus in Gemini, so the online field lit up before the yard swallowed the day.

We went for arborvitae because they grow fast. At first we planned on three bigger ones, but five shorter ones cost about the same, so I chose the five. Some can grow around two feet a year, which is perfect for the living wall feeling I have wanted here. Once they were planted, the tips were already level with the fence line, so for now our neighbor may see cute green fence friends. Later, Bramble Broad gets a privacy spell! Hahahah! (Bramble Broad is my house's, name, hahaha.)

The planting itself was the Sun square Saturn. Father help, house protection, timing pressure, and physical labor all landed in one project. Digging five big holes in the afternoon was a lot, but my dad had a smart idea and told me to water the ground first. Cancer water softened the Aries Saturn task. The work became possible because the ground received something first.

The Aries Moon also quincunxed my Virgo Moon, which fits the body mismatch. My Virgo Moon wants careful pacing while the Aries Moon wanted the job finished. Later the Moon trined my Leo Ascendant and Chiron, so there was pride in it too. I helped make the boundary with my own hands, and that matters a lot to me.

I got the time for the First Watering Chart! 3:49 PM on July 6th, 2026.

Event Chart for watering my newly planted trees.

Scorpio was rising at 14°, and the Sun was at 14° Cancer, making an exact trine to the Ascendant. I love that for a planting chart. Scorpio rising gives fixed water, and Cancer gives home water. For trees planted as a living boundary around the home, that feels protective and rooted.

That same Cancer Sun was also square Saturn in Aries, so the chart carries both the blessing and the work. The water story is there, but Saturn asks for follow-through. These trees came in through effort, heat, timing, and the body. For me, that fits the whole day. For the trees, it says the boundary becomes stronger as long as I keep showing up with the hose.

Because Scorpio was rising, Mars rules the chart. Mars is in Gemini close to Uranus, which pulls the tree chart back into the same current that brought us to this house in the first place. We bought Bramble Broad during the last Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, so this tree day feels like a sequel to that original home spark.

Now the living boundary around the house begins under a Mars-ruled chart with Uranus beside the ruler. It describes my dad’s sudden timing, the fast trip, the three-trees-becoming-five choice, and the way the day turned into a buzzing 6th-house work portal.

By whole sign, Aries was the 6th house of the watering chart, and the Moon was there with Neptune. Aries in the 6th can run the body hot, and Neptune can blur the signals until rest takes over. After planting, I was dog tired, close to throwing up, and slept for the rest of the day. I need to be mindful of the fire Moon in this case, I have to make sure I water them correctly.

There are sweet signs for the trees too. I realllllly love Venus in Leo and the South Node sitting at the top of the watering chart. The trees are for privacy, but they are also beautifying the visible edge of the property. That matters to me because I have a Cancer South Node in the 12th house, which often equates to wanting to hide and feel protected from view.

When we first moved in and had to cut things back to make room for the fence, the backyard opened up in a way that made me feel exposed. So I know I will enjoy watering these trees and watching them grow inch by inch, because with every bit of green rising along the fence line, my secret 12th house Cancer South Node gets a little more safety back.

So yesterday ate the Arcwalk time. The first two are almost done and coming out today! Today is much simpler: water the trees, walk the pups, and get back to readings. I am back home now, which means dad is out of range from opening another Uranian landscaping trap. Hahahah.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Aries 9th house

Natal: 8° Moon in Aries 9th sextiles my Saturn in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 8° Moon in Aries 9th squares my Mars-NN in Cap 6th.
Global: 4° Neptune stations retrograde in Aries 9th.
Natal: 13° Moon in Aries 9th quincunxes my Jupiter in Virgo 2nd.
Global: 14° Moon conjoins Saturn in Aries 9th.
Natal: 14° Moon in Aries 9th squares my Uranus in Cap 6th.
Global: 15° Last Quarter Moon in Aries 9th squares Sun in Cancer 12th.
Natal: 17° Moon in Aries 9th squares my Neptune-Mercury in Cap 6th.
Natal: 20° Moon conjoins my MC in Aries 9th.

Today I plan to focus on finishing the first two Arcwalks. Sorry again that they keep getting delayed. I swear this Almanac has become a little track record of excuses hahahah! Ugh. But I am almost done, and they will be finished.

The Moon is still in Aries in my 9th house today, so the focus stays on posting, writing, sharing, and getting the work back onto the path. Early on, the Moon sextiles my Saturn in Aquarius in the 7th, which feels supportive for showing up to the people waiting on me. Then the Moon squares my Mars-North Node in Capricorn in the 6th, which is the part where the body and daily workload start knocking on the door. The Arcwalks are calling, the trees need watering, and the pups still need their walks.

The other big thing today is Todd having a dog over for his "day camp". Todd is a dog trainer, and ever since we moved closer to my parents, his work has started to grow in a way he can sustain. It is still a work in progress, especially with the economy making froo-froo services less appealing lately, but he keeps doing the work every day. Today is part of that.

His day camp is a daycare-training hybrid he runs here at the house. We have the garage, which is basically Todd’s man cave, and the backyard for training, walking, treats, and dog love. He wants our dogs to hang out at my mom and dad’s while the camp dog is here, mostly to keep the barking down. For the most part, he handles that whole field pretty easily, which makes my day feel low key on my end.

The Aries Moon conjoins Saturn today, and that feels like doing the work even while the larger economy feels uncertain. The Moon also squares my Uranus, Mercury, and Neptune in Capricorn in the 6th, so the household routine may need adjustment. A dog comes over, our dogs go to my parents, Todd works the training field, and I try to stay with my writing. It's a 6th-house puzzle.

By the time the Moon reaches my Aries MC, I'm sure I'll be happy with my output for the day.

Please send good vibes to the new green guardians along the fence line~!

Questions

Did you notice the Moon moving from Pisces into Aries? Did the tone of the day change for you once the Moon changed signs?
Did the Sun-Saturn square show up for you at all? Where did you notice it by house or topic?
Where is Neptune stationing retrograde in your chart?

Week Ahead

Wednesday, July 8: The Moon enters Taurus and conjoins Chiron shortly after. The early Chiron contact may make the body or worth story feel more tender at first.
Thursday, July 9: Venus enters Virgo. Love, beauty, pleasure, money, and desire move from Leo’s glow into Virgo’s discernment.
Friday, July 10: Venus trines Chiron in Taurus before dawn, then the Moon moves through Taurus and enters Gemini by the weekend field. The body and resource story begins turning back toward messages and the social wire.
Saturday, July 11: The Gemini Moon carries the weekend into Mercury topics. Watch communication, errands, siblings, posts, local movement, tech, and fast-changing plans.
Sunday, July 12: The Moon enters Cancer before Mercury retrograde reaches cazimi in Cancer. The emotional field comes first, then the message moves into the heart of the Sun.

Current Arcwalk Cycle

I WILL finish two Arcwalks today, I promise!

The Arcwalker Almanac - Monday, July 6, 2026

Happy(?) Monday, Arcwalkers!

We are coming out of a busy weekend sky. Mars conjoined Uranus in Gemini on Saturday, then trined Pluto in Aquarius on Sunday. The weekend was the spark that entered a larger network. Gemini carried the message, the wire, the road, the post, the nervous system and the sudden thought. Aquarius carried the system and the wider social pattern.

The main aspect today is the Sun in Cancer square Saturn in Aries at 5:47 AM. This is a cardinal square, so it asks for action or adjustment. Cancer is concerned with protection and emotional safety. Saturn in Aries brings pressure around independence, direction, boundaries, and responsibility. The square may show where a private feeling has to meet a real-world demand.

The Moon begins the day void in Pisces after trining Mercury retrograde in Cancer overnight. That gives the morning a slower and more reflective tone. Messages, dreams, old memories, or emotional residue may linger from the weekend, especially before the Moon changes signs.

The Moon enters Aries at 10:07 AM. After that, the day becomes more direct. The Moon moves into fire, then spends the rest of the day contacting Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Mars. The field gets more active as the day goes on, so the morning may be better for catching up with what is already in motion, while the afternoon and evening have more push.

Key Timings

Opening Window

12:21 AM: The Pisces Moon trines Mercury retrograde in Cancer. This may bring emotional language through dreams, memory, old messages, or private reflection.
12:21 AM: The Pisces Moon goes void after trining Mercury retrograde in Cancer.
3:08 AM: The Pisces Moon quincunxes Venus in Leo. The overnight field may bring an adjustment between emotional porousness and the desire for warmth or visibility.
5:47 AM: The Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries. This is the main pressure point of the day, where protection and private feeling meet the need for form.

Live Field

10:07 AM: The Moon enters Aries. The field shifts from water to fire, and the day becomes more active after the long Pisces void.
12:40 PM: The Aries Moon trines Jupiter in Leo. This can bring a warmer fire current around confidence or the desire to begin again.
5:25 PM: The Aries Moon sextiles Uranus in Gemini. This may bring a new way to read the pattern.
6:11 PM: The Aries Moon conjoins Neptune in Aries. Instinct and dream blur together, so action may feel inspired, symbolic, urgent, or harder to aim.
6:47 PM: The Aries Moon sextiles Pluto in Aquarius. A personal impulse may connect to a larger group pattern or collective thread.
8:48 PM: The Aries Moon sextiles Mars in Gemini. The evening brings more movement through errands, writing, walking, or nervous-system energy.

Overnight Carryover

Tuesday, 5:54 AM: Neptune stations retrograde at 4° Aries. The Aries field stays active, but Neptune turning retrograde may make momentum feel more symbolic or less direct.

Dispositor Chains

Before the Moon enters Aries:

Moon + True Node in Pisces → Jupiter + Venus in Leo [← Chiron in Taurus] → Sun + Mercury Rx in Cancer [← Mars + Uranus in Gemini ← Saturn + Neptune in Aries ← Pluto in Aquarius] → back to Moon + True Node in Pisces → Loop.

After the Moon enters Aries:

https://preview.redd.it/hx1loxl4ylbh1.png?width=1447&format=png&auto=webp&s=20b294cd2141f4506d6c0d100924f198c5df1a47

Pluto in Aquarius → Saturn + Neptune + Moon in Aries → Mars + Uranus in Gemini → Mercury Rx + Sun in Cancer [← Venus + Jupiter in Leo ← Chiron in Taurus] → back to Moon in Aries → Loop.

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 1° to 6° fire and air / 13° to 15° cardinal / 24° to 27° water and fire.

Who May Feel Today’s Main Contacts Most:

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius placements near 1° to 6° may feel the Aries Moon contacts most directly. This can bring confidence and a stronger need to act.
Cancer, Aries, Libra, and Capricorn placements near 13° to 15° may feel the Sun-Saturn square most directly. This can bring pressure around care, direction, responsibility, timing, family, work, home, authority, and emotional limits.
Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, and Taurus placements near 24° to 27° may feel the early morning Moon-Mercury and Moon-Venus contacts. This may bring dream messages, old memories, emotional communication or visibility adjustments.
Cancer, Leo, Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries, and Scorpio risings may feel today’s field more personally, especially if they are also in a Sun, Moon, Saturn, or Mars profection year. Gemini and Virgo risings may also notice the early Moon-Mercury retrograde contact, especially through dreams or emotional language returning.

I think I am going to keep Monday reflections focused on yesterday and the day itself instead of the whole weekend. Maybe I will bring in the weekend later, but right now I'll keep it to how I've been doing it.

Yesterday I spent a lot of the day at my parents’ house. Todd had his brother, Josh, over for the Fourth of July weekend, and I do not exactly seek out his weather, so I migrated to my parents’ place and worked from there.

Most of yesterday was spent finishing the Neptune retrograde post. I ended up working on it between the Mars trine Pluto and the Moon applying to Mercury retrograde, which feels pretty perfect in hindsight. Mars trine Pluto was the tunnel vision, then the Moon applying to Mercury retrograde brought the writing, editing, remembering, and overall a slow, emotional translation of a Neptune station post.

And then, because Mercury retrograde has jokes, Josh accidentally sent me a picture of the beer he was drinking at my house.

For context, I have not had a drink since September of 2022. I mostly stopped as a kind of penance for one of my dogs who passed, but I am also a terrible drunk, so everyone around me was pretty thrilled with this life choice. I usually just avoid parties or situations where people are drinking hard around me. This is harder than it sounds because I live in the biggest drinking state in America.

So there I was, peacefully working on Neptune retrograde, and suddenly I get a picture of a beer in the group text with me and my parents. Josh was using Todd’s phone and apparently wanted to take a picture of the beer for his beer picture collection (???), because of course he did. I assume he meant to send it to himself, but instead it landed in the family chat.

The Pisces Moon opposed my natal Jupiter in Virgo while Jupiter in Leo opposed my natal Sun in Aquarius. Since Jupiter rules Pisces, the 8th house Moon reported back to Jupiter. Jupiter carried the drinking symbolism and the sense of something crossing into my field from another person’s choices. With Jupiter in my 1st opposing my Sun in the 7th, I became the one receiving the image from the people-field.

The Sun in Cancer sextiled my natal Jupiter in Virgo while Chiron in Taurus trined my Moon in Virgo, adding an earth route through steadiness and support. Todd's Sun is conjunct my Moon. I talked to Todd. I found out what happened. I stayed with the person I already had a line to, rather than crossing the line toward Josh.

Josh apologized, and I understand it was an accident. Todd later said Josh was getting irritated because I had not told him it was okay. That part made me want to say it even less! The oppositions showed the other person and the social expectation. The sextiles and trines showed the route back into my own response.

The Moon in Pisces later trined my Pluto in Scorpio, which explains why a small incident touched a deeper root. The picture itself wasn't that big of a deal. But the field it entered was the boundary around what I allow near me now. Pluto in my 4th brings the private root system into the story. The reaction came from the root-story.

Venus in Leo trined my Venus in Sagittarius, so the day still had a creative current. I got the post done and I stayed in the work! Mars sextile my Leo Ascendant gave enough push to keep showing up through the irritation.

So yesterday became a little chart lesson: Jupiter carried the alcohol symbolism, the Pisces Moon opened the 8th house door, the Sun-Jupiter sextile gave me a support route, and the Moon-Pluto trine showed why the beer picture landed in a deeper room than the sender intended.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Pisces 8th house to Aries 9th house

Global: 24° Moon in Pisces 8th trines Mercury Rx in Cancer 12th.
Natal: 25° Moon in Pisces 8th squares my Venus in Sagittarius 5th.
Global: 26° Moon in Pisces 8th quincunxes Venus in Leo 1st.
Global: 14° Sun in Cancer 12th squares Saturn in Aries 9th.
Natal: 0° Moon in Aries 9th quincunxes my Moon in Virgo 2nd.
Natal: 1° Moon in Aries 9th sextiles my Sun in Aquarius 7th.
Global: 1° Moon in Aries 9th trines Jupiter in Leo 1st.
Global: 3° Moon in Aries 9th sextiles Uranus in Gemini 11th.
Global: 4° Moon conjoins Neptune in Aries 9th.
Global: 4° Moon in Aries 9th sextiles Pluto Rx in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 14° Sun in Cancer 12th opposes my Uranus in Capricorn 6th.
Natal: 5° Moon in Aries 9th trines my ASC-Chiron in Leo 1st.
Global: 5° Moon in Aries 9th sextiles Mars in Gemini 11th.

Today feels more workable than it looks at first glance. The morning starts with the Pisces Moon still in my 8th house, so there is some emotional residue before the day fully catches fire. The Moon squares my Venus and then quincunxes global Venus in Leo, this may add a little body or pleasure adjustment, but it does not feel like the main story unless something pulls me into a visibility or comfort snag early.

The main aspect is the Sun in Cancer squaring Saturn in Aries. For me, that is my chart ruler in the 12th house squaring Saturn in my 9th. I actually think this can help once it perfects. It may start as a kind of pressure, but separating pressure can become structure. The 12th house holds the behind-the-scenes work and the emotional material I do not always show. Saturn in the 9th wants a frame for the larger path, the map I am trying to build. That separating energy feels useful for an Arcwalk day.

My plan is simple: get the Almanac out, reply to one follow-up from the last sign-up post, and finish two Arcwalks. I already have a lot of those first two Arcwalks started from last week, when Mars entered Gemini and I felt like I could hold more threads at once. Mars in Gemini in my 11th house has been very good for the subreddit and the mental web of multiple people’s charts. The Moon in Aries sextiles Mars at the end of the day, so I am hoping the day rounds off with enough motion to finish what is already partly built.

The Moon entering Aries moves the day into my 9th house, which is exactly where I want it for astrology work. The Moon sextiles my Sun in Aquarius, trines Jupiter in Leo, then moves through the outer planet crown: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Mars by sextile or conjunction. That feels like a day where the signal gets more intense as it goes.

I am watching the Moon-Neptune conjunction the most. Since Neptune is nearly stationing, the contact may feel like an extended release of Neptune into the 9th house for me. That can be foggy, but it can also be good for letting the arcwalk speak through the image before I force it into order. If I can let Neptune open the channel without losing the thread, the later Moon-Mars sextile may help me write it down.

The wild card is the Sun opposing my natal Uranus in Capricorn. That is my Cancer 12th house Sun activating my Capricorn 6th house channel. I am optimistic, but I am also keeping an eye on sudden interruptions or the daily work mutating while I am in the middle of it. Still, this is also the channel I use for my subreddit work. So as long as nothing blows up in my face, I think today can be productive.

Questions

Friday through Sunday’s Post

Where did the Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini land in your chart? Did anything suddenly open over the weekend?
Where did the Pisces Moon move through your chart? How did it show up for you?
Did Sunday’s Mars-Pluto trine help you focus the scatter or see a larger system behind the weekend’s spark?
Where is today’s Sun-Saturn square landing in your chart? Are you noticing anything yet?

Week Ahead

Tuesday, July 7: Neptune stations retrograde at 4° Aries. The Moon also conjuncts Saturn shortly before the Last Quarter Moon, so what looked like a clean impulse may need a deeper symbolic read and a firmer container.
Wednesday, July 8: The Moon enters Taurus and conjoins Chiron shortly after. The early Chiron contact may make the body or worth story feel more tender at first.
Thursday, July 9: Venus enters Virgo and trines Chiron in Taurus. Love, beauty, pleasure, money, and desire move from Leo’s glow into Virgo’s discernment.
Friday, July 10: The Moon moves through Taurus into Gemini by the weekend field. The body and resource story begins turning back toward messages and the social wire.
Saturday, July 11: The Gemini Moon carries the weekend into Mercury topics. Watch communication, errands, siblings, posts, local movement, tech, and fast-changing plans.
Sunday, July 12: The Gemini Moon continues the weekend’s mental field before entering Cancer. Mercury remains retrograde in Cancer, so words may move quickly at first, but the emotional meaning may still need extra translation once the Moon enters the same sign.

Current Arcwalk Cycle

My plan today is to answer one follow-up from last week that I still need to tie off, then work on Arcwalk #1 and mayyyybe Arcwalk #2 if the sky keeps cooperating!

Neptune Retrograde in Aries

Pre-Shadow Began: March 16, 2026 - Aries 1°36′
Retrograde Station: July 7, 2026 at 5:54 AM Central - Aries 4°25′
Direct Station: December 12, 2026 - Aries 1°36′
Post-Shadow Ends: April 2, 2027 - Aries 4°25′

Neptune stations retrograde in Aries on July 7 at 5:54 AM, turning the dream back toward itself.

In astrology, Neptune is often connected to ideals and longing. It can show where we are inspired and where a story has taken on more meaning than we first realized.

When Neptune turns retrograde, the process becomes more reflective. Something that felt inspiring may need to be examined again. A goal may still matter, but the way we have been imagining it can start to change.

From July 7 through December 12, Neptune retraces the early degrees of Aries, moving from 4° Aries back to 1° Aries. Aries is the first move. It is the part of us that begins before the full plan is in place.

Neptune in Aries can blur the line between calling and reaction. It can make an impulse feel meaningful before we have had time to understand where it came from.

When Neptune turns retrograde here, the fire starts asking what it has been burning for. This can bring a review of what we are chasing and what kind of person we are trying to become through our actions.

April 2, 2027: Neptune leaves the retrograde zone at Aries 4°25′

Lead-In

Mercury stationed retrograde in Cancer on June 29, so the mind has already been moving backward through old protection patterns. Cancer remembers what the body learned first. Before Neptune turns around in Aries, Mercury is already asking where the feeling came from.

At the end of June, Jupiter entered Leo. This brought more heat into confidence and the desire to be seen. Jupiter in Leo can make the personal story feel larger, while Mercury retrograde in Cancer pulls that story back through older emotional material.

Then Mars met Uranus in Gemini on July 3/4. That brought a faster, sharper quality into the days before the station. Gemini moves through words and quick changes. Mars with Uranus can bring sudden movement or a sudden opening that changes the plan.

The Last Quarter Moon also falls in Aries later that same day. That gives the station a release-point feeling. Something about the current fire may need to be adjusted before the next New Moon in Cancer on July 14.

Dispositor Chain

This station happens in Aries, so Neptune reports to Mars. Saturn is also in Aries, which means Saturn’s pressure reports to Mars too. The dream and the test are both answering to Mars in Gemini.

Mars in Gemini reports to Mercury retrograde in Cancer. The action moves through choices and messages, but Mercury is moving backward through old protection patterns.

Mercury then reports to the Moon in Aries. The Moon in Aries reports back to Mars in Gemini.

So the station chart makes a dispositor loop between Mars, Mercury, and the Moon.

After the Station

Venus enters Virgo on July 9, bringing attention to what needs to be sorted or made useful. After the Leo heat at the end of June, Virgo starts asking what can actually be worked with. This can help bring Neptune’s Aries dream back into practical contact with daily life.

Then the New Moon in Cancer arrives on July 14 while Mercury is still retrograde. This brings the story back to home and emotional safety. If Neptune retrograde in Aries asks what the fire is for, the Cancer New Moon asks what the fire is protecting.

Mid-July opens the larger outer planet pattern.

Uranus in Gemini sextiles Neptune on July 15, bringing new language to the dream. A few days later, Jupiter in Leo connects with Neptune and Pluto, making the personal story feel larger while also testing how much attention or control has entered the room.

This is where Neptune retrograde may become easier to see.

Mercury stations direct in Cancer on July 23, so the memory-work starts moving forward again. Conversations that were tangled earlier in the month may become easier to name, though Mercury stays in Cancer for a while longer.

Then Neptune sextiles Pluto on July 25. This gives the station a deeper collective layer. Neptune in Aries is reviewing the dream of action, while Pluto in Aquarius is transforming the group field. Personal courage and collective change start speaking to each other.

Saturn stations retrograde in Aries on July 26, bringing a second turn in the same sign. Neptune turns first, then Saturn follows. The dream and then the structure turn inward.

By the end of the month, the Full Moon in Aquarius brings the story into the people we are building the future with. This is important because Neptune retrograde begins with the self in Aries, but the month carries the fire into the wider field.

Impact on Your Chart

Neptune Rx Impact Chart

This Neptune retrograde’s main tracking range is 1° to 4° Aries.

Who may feel this Neptune retrograde most:

Cardinal placements near 1° to 4°: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn placements may feel this retrograde more directly. Aries receives Neptune, Cancer and Capricorn receive the squares, and Libra receives the opposition.
Fire placements near 1° to 4°: Leo and Sagittarius placements may feel this by trine, while Aries placements receive the station directly.
Air placements near 1° to 4°: Gemini and Aquarius placements may feel this through sextiles. This can bring ideas, conversations, networks, and future-oriented thinking into contact with the Neptune story.
Aries risings: Neptune retrogrades through your 1st house, so this may feel personal and tied to the way you are learning to name yourself.
Pisces risings: Neptune is your chart ruler by modern rulership, so this station may stand out even though it is moving through your 2nd house by Whole Sign.
Neptune-ruled or 12th house years: If Neptune is prominent in your natal chart, or if you are in a 12th house profection year, this station may speak through the need to step back from what has become too blurry.
Placements near 4° Aries, Gemini, Leo, or Aquarius: This degree range becomes part of the mid-July Fire-Air pattern, so the station may connect to a larger story around community and future direction.

Quick Whole Sign Rising Arcasts

Aries Rising - 1st House
Neptune stations retrograde in your 1st house, so the review moves through your body and self-image. Something about the version of yourself that began forming in March may need time to settle into the skin.

Taurus Rising - 12th House
For Taurus rising, this station slips behind the curtain. The 12th house may bring dreams or an old pattern that has been shaping things from the background.

Gemini Rising - 11th House
Neptune turns around in your 11th house, where friends and future hopes gather. A group dream may need a second look before you know how much of it still belongs to you.

Cancer Rising - 10th House
For Cancer rising, Neptune stations in the part of the chart tied to public life. A role you have been reaching toward may start to soften around the edges so the real direction can show itself.

Leo Rising - 9th House
Neptune turns around in your 9th house of belief. Something you have been following as a larger vision may begin asking for more honesty before it keeps guiding the path.

Virgo Rising - 8th House
For Virgo rising, this station moves through the 8th house of trust and shared support. A fear or financial entanglement may become easier to examine once the first wave of feeling passes.

Libra Rising - 7th House
Neptune stations retrograde across from you in the 7th house. A partner or close mirror may show where the image of another person has become tangled with your own desire.

Scorpio Rising - 6th House
For Scorpio rising, Neptune turns around in the 6th house of work and maintenance. A daily practice may need to become more usable if it is going to keep serving the larger dream.

Sagittarius Rising - 5th House
Neptune stations in your 5th house, where pleasure and creation live. A creative desire may return in a different form, especially if joy has been waiting for a gentler way back in.

Capricorn Rising - 4th House
For Capricorn rising, Neptune turns around at the base of the chart. Home or the private self may need more time before a new beginning can feel steady.

Aquarius Rising - 3rd House
Neptune stations retrograde in your 3rd house of daily thought. A message or local thread may need to be revisited before the next step makes sense.

Pisces Rising - 2nd House
For Pisces rising, Neptune turns around in the 2nd house of support. Money or energy leaks may become easier to see, especially where a dream has needed a stronger container.

Walking With Livvia

Transit Chart for July 7 at 5:54 AM

Chart ruler: Sun, Leo Rising
Profection ruler: Mercury, Gemini 11th House
Current Solar Return ruler: Venus, Libra rising, lands in my 3rd house

My Natal Neptune is in Capricorn in my 6th house.

Neptune conjunct Mercury in Capricorn 6th
Neptune conjunct Uranus in Capricorn 6th
Neptune trine Jupiter in Virgo 2nd
Neptune-Uranus-Mercury square my MC in Aries 9th

I was born with Neptune in Capricorn in my 6th house, conjunct Mercury and Uranus. This is a big part of how I read patterns. Mercury gives the language while Uranus gives me the signal. Neptune gives the image that has to be translated before I can explain it.

That conjunction also trines my Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd house. So the channel is tied to my values and the way I build meaning through repeated practice. Virgo Jupiter wants usefulness and Capricorn Neptune wants the vision to become a system. The trine between them is part of why daily tracking became such a natural language for me.

But natal Neptune also squares my Aries MC...

My Capricorn 6th house wants to keep working in the background. It wants the daily practice, the refining, the repetition, and the system that gets stronger because I return to it over time.

My Aries MC wants the work to go somewhere. It wants action and a public point of arrival.

So there is a square between the place where I make the work and the place where the work becomes seen.

With Neptune involved, that pressure can get strange. The pattern can feel alive before I know how to explain it. My mind can make cartwheels out of distant connections. Then the Aries MC starts pulling it into visibility, and suddenly the private practice feels like a public test and this is where I get caught a lot.

Neptune stations retrograde at 4° Aries in my 9th house.

Neptune sextiles my Sun at 1° Aquarius 7th.
Neptune quincunxes my Moon at 0° Virgo 2nd.
Neptune trines my Leo ASC-Chiron field, though separating

The station sextiles my Sun in Aquarius in the 7th house, and this has shown up through people. I came into Reddit after a long hermit period when Neptune first entered Aries last year, so being seen in public again was stressful at first but I was also sharing what I knew and feeling good about letting the astrology move between me and other people.

This aspect has been supportive through the people around the work. Most of what I have received has helped me live the 7th house side of the transit: replies, chart conversations, regular readers, and people walking with me as the practice grows. The 9th house Neptune vision is still mine, but the sextile to my 7th house Sun makes the dream relational. It gets stronger through contact.

The quincunx to my Virgo Moon in the 2nd house is the adjustment point. My Moon tracks the body and the daily rhythm, while the 2nd house brings in resources and sustainability. The question here is how to keep the Almanac/subreddit going in a way my body can actually support.

The old Arcbook I worked on took about an hour and a half each day, and because it was private, it could follow my energy.

Example page from my Arcbook

August 19, 2025

The Daily Almanac is different because it turns that tracking into something other people can use. It needs more language and structure. When the Almanacs get too long, it becomes harder to keep producing them, so the Virgo Moon adjustment is practical: weekends off, a more data-driven format, a better support system around the subreddit. The practice can continue if the format becomes usable.

Neptune has also been trining my Leo Ascendant and Chiron field, and this has made visibility more active in my life. It has been stressful because it is new material, but it has also brought people forward to see what I believe in.

The painful part of Chiron and my natal Neptune-MC square is the fear of being wrong in public. I am afraid of making a mistake in a post (even though I want people to tell me if something needs correcting). I try to prevent errors as much as possible because a small mistake can hit my self-worth super hard. Neptune makes those mistakes pretty common. With Neptune stationing retrograde and it begins separating from that trine, visibility feels like something being stabilized. I am learning how to carry being seen as part of the practice.

I also want to bring in the transiting South Node. When Neptune stationed direct in Pisces on December 10, 2025, I stopped working in my daily Arcbook as often. At that time, the South Node was moving over my natal Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd house. The Arcbook helped me gather meaning and build confidence through repetition, but it also took daily energy.

As the subreddit became more active, I wanted to talk to more people and answer more charts, so the private tracking had to loosen. When the South Node touched Jupiter, it released the private knowledge habit and I stopped working on the Arcbook and started interacting with people more.

Now Neptune is stationing retrograde in Aries while the South Node is on my Moon in Virgo and this is the same story moving into the daily rhythm. The way I track the sky is being released into the world. The Arcbook is coming back as the Daily Almanac.

This feels like the heart of this Neptune station for me: Neptune direct helped me release the private Arcbook so I could focus on people’s charts, while Neptune retrograde is helping me bring the Arcbook back as the Almanac. This time, the practice needs a format my body can keep holding.

Questions

Do you have anything near 1° to 4° Aries in your chart, or does that degree range contact any of your planets, angles, or points by aspect?
Where does Aries fall in your chart?
What began forming in that area of life since March, when Neptune entered the retrograde zone?

Before the Moon enters Pisces

[July 4, 2026] Check-In on the Mars-Uranus Conjunction

Notes Before We Begin

Timing note: All times in this check-in are listed in Central Time. For quick conversion: Pacific subtract 2 hours, Eastern add 1 hour, UTC add 5 hours, London add 6 hours, Dubai add 9 hours, Tokyo add 14 hours, and Sydney add 15 hours.

Hey Arcwalkers! What’s sparking?

Earlier this morning, Mars and Uranus met in Gemini. The conjunction perfected on July 4, 2026, around 1:08 AM Central Time, at about 3° Gemini.

Mars-Uranus conjunctions can act like ignition points. Mars brings the urge to act. Uranus brings the odd turn that breaks a pattern. In Gemini, that spark moves through messages, media, technology, local movement, airspace, the nervous system, and the stories passing between people.

For timing, I’m giving this a wider window than the faster bodies I usually track in the Almanacs. Around this conjunction, Mars is moving about half a degree per day. That means a 3° applying orb gives us about six days of build-up.

So for this check-in, I’m treating the wider Mars-Uranus window as the six days before and six days after the exact conjunction, from June 28 through July 10, 2026. This makes it more of a mid-transit check-in.

The Symbolism: Mars, Uranus, Gemini, and the Conjunction

When I look at Mars, I’m looking at heat. Mars shows where something gets activated, where pressure rises, where action wants a place to go. It can cut, move, provoke, defend, and push a situation out of stillness.

When I look at Uranus, I’m looking at the break in the pattern. Uranus can bring the strange turn that changes the whole situation. It has the feeling of something being snapped open.

Then we put both of them in Gemini.

Gemini is where information moves. It carries the message, the route, the signal, and the nervous system’s first response.

Mars is peregrine in Gemini, so Mars does not have its usual tools here. It has to work through Mercury. At this degree, Mars is also in Mercury’s bound, which makes Mercury retrograde in Cancer even more important.

Uranus is not part of the traditional dignity system, but using modern rulership, Gemini gives Uranus an air-sign pathway through a trine to its ruler ship in Aquarius. So Uranus can move through the wires here, while Mars adds heat to the signal.

A conjunction begins a cycle. Mars and Uranus came together in Gemini, so this is the start of a new Gemini storyline between action and disruption.

The Dispositor Chain

Because Mars and Uranus met in Gemini, the conjunction reports to Mercury.

Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, so the Gemini spark doubled back into Cancer topics: memory, family, home, protection, and the body’s older stories.

Mercury in Cancer reports to the Moon, so the public mood and the feeling-body became part of the circuit.

At the moment of the conjunction, the Moon was still in Aquarius. That made the chain run from Mars-Uranus in Gemini, to Mercury in Cancer, to the Aquarius Moon, to Saturn in Aries, then back to Mars in Gemini.

So the first spark had more edge. The signal moved through Cancer memory, Aquarius distance, Saturn pressure, and Mars activation.

Shortly after the conjunction, the Moon entered Pisces. That changes the aftermath. The Moon in Pisces reports to Jupiter in Leo, Jupiter reports to the Sun in Cancer, and the Sun reports back to the Moon.

After Moon enters Pisces

So the exact hit feels sharper, while the separating field feels more emotional and diffuse.

The Current Sky

https://preview.redd.it/u73188l4h9bh1.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=d18d9b02c13c00567eca4b64ec77257dd18ba29f

Mars and Uranus met around 3° Gemini, with Mercury retrograde in Cancer holding the rulership of the conjunction.

Mars recently squared the lunar nodes in late Pisces and Virgo before meeting Uranus. Uranus squared the nodes in June too, so this conjunction comes out of a nodal field. This gives the conjunction a crossroads feeling, especially for early mutable placements.

At the moment of the conjunction, the Moon was at the end of Aquarius, heading toward Pisces. About twenty minutes after the exact Mars-Uranus hit, the Moon entered Pisces, crossed the North Node, then squared Uranus and Mars later this morning. So the Moon has already carried the conjunction into the feeling field.

Neptune is almost stopped in early Aries, preparing to station retrograde on July 7. Mars and Uranus are both close to Neptune by sextile, with Mars moving into its exact sextile with Neptune later today. This gives the spark a strange spiritual charge. Gemini brings the message, while Neptune makes the signal dreamlike and harder to pin down.

Pluto is retrograde in early Aquarius, with Mars moving into a trine. Uranus is building toward its trine with Pluto later in July. Mars is lighting up part of that larger outer-planet circuit, so the conjunction carries more than a personal irritation or strange news week.

Jupiter recently entered Leo, fresh in a new sign during this window, while squaring Chiron in Taurus. Jupiter is also beginning to move toward its July aspects with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Mars-Uranus spark has room to grow as July unfolds.

The Sun is in Cancer and applying to a square with Saturn in Aries. While Mercury retrograde pulls the story through memory and emotional safety, the Sun-Saturn square adds pressure around responsibilities and having to hold the line.

The Mars-Uranus Arc

This is also part of a longer Mars-Uranus storyline. The July 4 conjunction is a seed point, but it came after the last Mars-Uranus cycle and will continue unfolding through future aspects.

Some dates I’m watching:

July 15, 2024: Mars conjunct Uranus at 26° Taurus. This was the previous seed point. Taurus brought the story into the places where life asks to feel secure.
- This was when Todd and I moved closer to my parents, and having them nearby helped me settle into a better routine. That stability gave me enough ground to start believing I could become an astrologer. Taurus is my 10th house.
June 15, 2025: Mars square Uranus. The first square after the Taurus conjunction. Mars in Leo pressed against Uranus in Taurus, bringing tension between visibility and stability.
- This was when I created u/arcwalkerlivvia and began writing astrology comments and posts on Reddit, after starting a new medication that helped me show up more consistently.
November 4, 2025: Mars opposite Uranus. The confrontation point of the Taurus cycle. Mars in Sagittarius opposed Uranus in Gemini, bringing belief against data and the larger story against the thing being said.
- This was when I wanted to switch back to an older medication because the new one was no longer working for me long-term. My psychiatrist wanted me off my other medications before I could restart it.
February 27, 2026: Mars square Uranus. Mars in Aquarius squared Uranus in Taurus, pressing groups, technology, resources, bodies, and stability against each other.
- This was during “Sleepy Mode,” when I had stopped doing astrology work on Reddit and the medication I wanted to return to was still being withheld from me.
TODAY, July 4, 2026: Mars conjunct Uranus at 3°52′ Gemini. This is the new seed point. Mars and Uranus begin a Gemini story around messages, speech, media, data and the nervous system.
- I now have my older medication back, and it has been helping me show up for the Almanac more consistently!
December 4, 2026: Mars square Uranus. The first square of the new cycle. Mars in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini, bringing a stress-test around the flaw in the machine.
February 17, 2027: Mars square Uranus. The retrograde square. Mars in Virgo comes back over the same pressure point, so the system gets reviewed again.
May 28, 2027: Mars square Uranus. The final Virgo-Gemini square. This is the third pass of the stress-test, where the adjustment has a chance to become usable.
October 28, 2027: Mars opposite Uranus. The confrontation point of the Gemini cycle. Mars in Sagittarius opposes Uranus in Gemini, bringing message against meaning again: data against belief.
February 17, 2028: Mars square Uranus. Mars in Pisces squares Uranus in Gemini. The struggle to separate signal from noise.
June 23, 2028: Mars conjunct Uranus at 11° Gemini. The next seed point in the Gemini storyline. Mercury joins the field around this conjunction too.

Who May Be Affected

Mars-Uranus Impact Chart

You may feel this more strongly if you have planets or angles around 0° to 7° of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces.

Early mutable placements near 0° to 7°: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces placements may feel the Mars-Uranus conjunction most directly. Gemini receives the conjunction, Virgo and Pisces receive the square, and Sagittarius receives the opposition.
Early fire placements near 0° to 7°: Aries and Leo placements may feel the Mars-Uranus sextile as a more active or expressive current.
Early air placements near 0° to 7°: Libra and Aquarius placements may feel the Mars-Uranus trine as a social or future-facing current.
Mercury-ruled charts: Gemini risings, Virgo risings, and Mercury profection years may feel this field more personally, since Gemini answers to Mercury.
Mars-ruled charts: Aries risings, Scorpio risings, and Mars profection years may feel this field more personally, since Mars is part of the conjunction.
Uranus-sensitive charts: Aquarius placements, Aquarius risings, and charts with Uranus near an angle may feel this field more personally.

My Whole Sign Chart

Chart ruler: Sun, Leo Rising
Profection ruler: Mercury, Gemini 11th House
Current Solar Return ruler: Venus, Libra rising, lands in my 3rd house

Let's start by talking a little about how Mars and Uranus affect my own chart, because both planets are pretty powerful for me.

I have Mars in Capricorn in the 6th house, where it is exalted and in its joy, so yay for that! Hahah. My Mars is ruled by Saturn in Aquarius in the 7th house. Saturn is out of sect for me, but it also has rulership, so there is strength there too.

My Mars is also conjunct my North Node, which makes the nodal axis super sensitive in my chart. So with Mars squaring the nodes, then Uranus doing the same shortly after, the Almanacs started to feel fated in a way. Mars gave me the push, but Uranus was part of the larger ignition.

I also have Uranus in Capricorn in the 6th house, about 5 degrees from my Mars-North Node conjunction. Close enough to be part of the same field, but with its own charge. Using modern rulerships, Saturn rules Uranus, but Uranus also rules Saturn, so Uranus and Saturn are in mutual reception in my chart.

Uranus is also part of my Mercury-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn in the 6th house, which trines my retrograde Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd. So when Mars and Uranus are activated, it is activating a huge part of my chart.

Uranus rules my 7th house, while Mars rules my 4th and 9th. This conjunction has made me feel more secure in my 4th house base, especially as my 9th house views have been changing across the Mars-Uranus cycle that started in 2024.

The 7th house piece may be the biggest change. I am interacting with so many people now, after being a complete hermit for about 8 years. That is a massive life change for me.

Being in an 11th house Gemini profection year also fits so perfectly! I am building a community of like-minded people, a living web of voices and patterns, and that community feels like it is helping support all of the encompassing goals I am moving toward in my next 12th house profection year.

For me, the wider Mars-Uranus window started with Mars entering Gemini on June 28 and moving into my 11th house.

That day, the Moon met my Venus in Sagittarius. I was low because I had been away from the Almanacs for about a week. I also had a Mercury retrograde post removed from r/AdvancedAstrology. The removal reason said I had asked a beginner question, even though I gave a forecast. That left me very confused.

Since the post got removed there, I ended up bringing the Mercury retrograde thread back to my own subreddit. Doing this gave me enough momentum to start the Almanacs again the next day.

On June 29, Mercury stationed retrograde in my Cancer 12th house. The Capricorn Moon moved through my 6th house and met my North Node. The Capricorn Full Moon pulled across my 6H/12H axis, and Mars in Gemini squared the True Node in Pisces.

I had stopped the Almanacs on June 22. I think the Mercury station slowed me down, and once the main stall passed, I had a better reason to come back with a shorter version. Something I could keep up with when the day is harder.

On June 30, Jupiter entered Leo and moved into my 1st house. Mars in Gemini trined my Aquarius Sun, and Venus in Leo trined my Aries MC. The Cancer Sun also opposed my Capricorn North Node and Mars.

Around this same time, I reached out to my brother because I have been wanting to read again. He is a big book person, and he gave me some titles to help me ease back in. He has a Gemini Mercury and Venus, so of course he knew where to point me.

On July 1, the Moon entered Aquarius and met my Sun in the 7th house. The Moon trined Mars in Gemini, and Jupiter in Leo squared Chiron in Taurus.

As the Jupiter-Chiron square was applying, I had a painful run-in with my psychiatrist. I am stable now and I have support, but the appointment stayed in my nervous system. It kept replaying in my head. I kept answering it in my mind. It was a lot of psychic energy.

With the Moon moving through my 6th house field and squaring Saturn in Aries, then Jupiter in my 1st pressing into Chiron in my 10th, it felt ready for an authority wound to get touched.

By July 3, I was also thinking about how to protect my rhythm. Jupiter in Leo quincunxed the True Node in Pisces, and the Aquarius Moon sextiled my Sagittarius Venus. I started leaning into the idea of taking weekends off from the Almanac. I can post Friday with some weekend coverage and give myself more room to conserve energy.

Then on July 4, Mars and Uranus met in my Gemini 11th house. The Moon enteres Pisces, moves into my 8th house, opposes my Virgo Moon, crosses the True Node, and squares Mars-Uranus.

Right before I sat down to finish this post, Todd came to me upset about information he found.

I’m going to talk about Lumber’s passing for a moment here, so please take care around this part.

Todd was looking back at a pain-shot Lumber received about a month or two before he passed, to help his aches. Lumber passed during the Mercury retrograde pre-shadow, and Todd has Cancer in his 6th house, so this retrograde is moving through pet matters for him. He found information that made him wonder if the medication could have played a part in Lumber’s broken bones and eventual passing. We were told bone cancer, but now there is another thread he is trying to understand.

He was angry and crushed. I talked him through it as best I could. We chose that medication from love. We were trying to help Lumber and now we can carry more awareness into future medication choices.

That felt like Mars-Uranus in Gemini arriving through information. One piece of data came through and hit an old grief point. Mercury retrograde in Cancer took the message straight into memory and caretaking.

So this Mars-Uranus window has been moving through my Gemini 11th house of groups and online space, but it keeps routing back into the private 12th house room.

It brought me back to the Almanac, bumped me against authority, and it also brought an old grief thread back through new information.

That is the field I am walking through as Mars separates from Uranus.

Before Moon enters Pisces

[July 3 - 5, 2026] The Arcwalker Almanac

Notes Before We Begin

Format note: Starting this week, The Arcwalker Almanac will be hosted Monday through Friday. The Friday Almanac will carry the weekend field inside the Key Timings section. This keeps the daily practice sustainable while still letting the weekend sky be tracked and returned to on Monday.

Timezone note: The daily field may land a little differently depending on where you are. If you would like a quick breakdown for your timezone, please leave a comment with your timezone or general location, and I can convert the main timing points for you.

The Arcwalker Almanac - Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 5, 2026

Happy weekend, Arcwalkers! I’m keeping the Almanac on a Monday through Friday rhythm, so today’s post carries the weekend field too. Check Key Timings below for more information. 🌙

The Moon stays in Aquarius for most of the day, continuing yesterday’s focus on community, future-thinking, pattern recognition, and the wider social web.

The morning begins with Jupiter in Leo quincunx the True Node in Pisces. This can bring an adjustment between personal visibility and the larger direction something is trying to move toward. Leo wants confidence and creative presence. Pisces asks the path to stay less controlled.

By midday, the Aquarius Moon opposes Venus in Leo. This brings the relationship and visibility field forward. Aquarius can watch from a distance, while Leo Venus wants warmth and direct response. The Moon enters its traditional void after the Venus opposition, then still quincunxes Mercury retrograde in Cancer later in the void field. The evening may carry a suspended feeling around communication and whether something lands emotionally.

Mars is also applying to Uranus in Gemini all day. This conjunction perfects overnight, so even before the exact contact, the background field is fast, sharp, mentally charged, and more likely to bring sudden movement through messages, technology, transportation, nervous systems, and the group field.

Key Timings

Friday, July 3

7:14 AM: Jupiter in Leo quincunxes the True Node in Pisces. The morning asks for an adjustment between personal growth and the path that is pulling something toward surrender.
12:27 PM: The Aquarius Moon opposes Venus in Leo. Social distance meets the need for warmth here, with attention moving toward response and how connection is received.
12:27 PM: The Aquarius Moon enters its traditional void after opposing Venus and stays void until it enters Pisces overnight. The afternoon may carry the Venus question forward instead of settling it right away.
4:58 PM: The Aquarius Moon quincunxes Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Even in the void field, memory still tugs at the future-facing Moon, asking the mind to account for private feeling.

Saturday, July 4

1:07 AM: Mars conjuncts Uranus in Gemini. This is one of the bigger weekend signatures, bringing sudden movement, nervous charge, technical disruption, or feeling that something wants to break pattern quickly.
1:30 AM: The Moon enters Pisces. This moves the weekend field from Aquarius distance into Pisces sensitivity, dreaminess, porous feeling, and emotional blending.
2:23 AM: The Pisces Moon sextiles Chiron in Taurus. This can bring a softer opening around places where tenderness may need something simple and real to hold onto.
2:50 AM: The Pisces Moon conjuncts the True Node. This can make the emotional field feel fated or strangely meaningful, especially around spiritual direction and old patterns dissolving.
3:12 AM: The Pisces Moon quincunxes Jupiter in Leo. This can bring an adjustment between emotional surrender and personal visibility, or between wanting to melt into the field and wanting to be seen clearly inside it.
8:59 AM: The Pisces Moon squares Uranus in Gemini. This can make the morning feel mentally electric or harder to settle, especially if information, plans, messages, or nervous-system sparks come in quickly.
9:25 AM: The Pisces Moon squares Mars in Gemini. This carries the Mars-Uranus charge into the body of the day, so words, errands, decisions, and reactions may move faster than the emotional field can process.
7:44 PM: Mars in Gemini sextiles Neptune in Aries. This can open a strange mix of action and intuition, where a sharp idea or movement begins to connect with a larger spiritual impulse.

Sunday, July 5

3:01 AM: The Pisces Moon trines the Sun in Cancer. This brings a gentler water-field through the overnight hours, connecting feeling, memory, belonging, and emotional recognition.
8:06 AM: Mars in Gemini trines Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. This gives the weekend’s Mars story a deeper continuation, connecting fast movement, language, information, and technical disruption with larger collective systems.

Overnight into Monday

12:21 AM: The Pisces Moon trines Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Overnight, memory finds language. Dreams and old conversations may come through with a clearer emotional thread.
3:08 AM: The Pisces Moon quincunxes Venus in Leo. Tenderness has to adjust to the wish for warmth. The field may feel sensitive around affection and being seen.
5:47 AM: The Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries. Monday begins with a pressure point between protection and independence. The Cancer Sun looks for shelter while Saturn in Aries asks action to take shape.
Traditional void note: The Pisces Moon goes void after trining Mercury retrograde at 12:21 AM Monday and stays void until the Moon enters Aries at 10:07 AM Monday.

Yesterday was a pretty low key day, but I had a few smaller things I could connect back to the Aquarius Moon moving through my 7th house.

The first one was my video game. I was playing for about an hour and a half and had been grinding, which is basically when you repeat tasks in a game to level up and make things easier later. I love grinding hahahah. It calms me down because it gives my brain something steady to do. Then I entered a cut scene and the game fritzed out and shut off. UGH!!! Losing progress on what had basically become a meditation practice took away the whole meditative part and left me mad that I had to re-grind. This made me think of the Mercury retrograde quincunx to my Venus, where something I was using for comfort suddenly needed emotional re-routing.

I also did laundry yesterday, and for some reason I did the whole thing in one go. Usually I wash it, hang it outside, bring it back in, and then let the folding live on the dining room table for a couple days. Yesterday I washed it, hung it, folded it, and put it away! I must have been on some caffeine current hahahah. With the Moon in Aquarius hitting my Saturn and quincunxing my Jupiter, it seems that one of those boring support tasks got handled before I could drag it out.

The bigger thread was Reddit. Back in March, Reddit took away my ability to upvote or downvote because my alt account shared some subreddits with my main account. I had upvoted a few things twice by accident, and Reddit read it as vote manipulation. At first, that hit my people-pleasing button so hard because upvoting felt like one of my ways of saying I saw you. It has been sitting in my body ever since as this weird social ache, like I lost one of my tiny tools for showing care.

Yesterday something finally clicked around it. The Aquarius Moon sextiling Saturn in Aries in my 9th helped me feel a better side of Saturn in Aries for a moment. Aries acts from the path. It does the thing. It does care through motion instead of needing every signal to prove itself. I feel more comfortable when I can upvote, but my work can hold on its own I think. I can still reply. I can still keep walking the sky.

The Venus in Leo square to my Pluto in Scorpio felt like the deeper root underneath it. Venus in my 1st wants a visible way to show warmth, while Pluto in my 4th pulls up the old fear that connection becomes unsafe when I lose a way to track it. So the upvote thing was my whole body wanting proof that I saw someone and that they knew I saw them.

Saturn in Aries gave me a different answer. The proof can be the work itself. I can let the Arcwalks, the replies, and the Almanac carry the care, even when the little button is gone.

Global: 0° Jupiter in Leo 1st quincunxes True Node in Pisces 8th.
Natal: 20° Moon in Aquarius 7th sextiles my MC in Aries 9th.

Edit: Right as I was about to post this, the finished and formatted file got eaten by copy/paste errors and I had to redo the entire Almanac formatting from scratch! UGH! Thanks a lot, Jupiter quincunx North Node!

Today I have my usual Friday lunch with my dad, which fits the Aquarius Moon moving through my 7th house. Most Fridays, we head back toward the bigger city I grew up in because Dad plays volleyball there, and we have better food options than we do farther out of town. He usually gets me some kind of drink while I watch him play or work on an Arcwalk, then we go eat after. With the Moon sextiling my MC in Aries, I see a day where lunch with Dad can sit beside the astrology work I am still carrying.

The hang up is that my dad is Saturn hahahah. He is careful with what he says and what he chooses. He always has a plan, and if he finds out I have one, he can test it until it has a stronger shape. With Saturn in my 7th, I meet Saturn through other people a lot. Since we both have Leo rising, there is also a performance piece between us. The Aquarius Moon opposing Venus in Leo feels like that mirror between Dad across from me and me trying to stay warm in myself.

The Moon square my Pluto in Scorpio feels like the deeper family root underneath it. Dad can support what I love, and he can make a plan around it fast. His Saturn in Sagittarius conjunct my Venus is a clear picture of that. He can help build form around what I love, while the Saturn-Venus piece can make the love feel more structured than playful.

I think today may go well, with one Saturn gate in the middle. The Moon quincunx Mercury retrograde in Cancer may pull in family memory around how I explain myself. Mars applying to Uranus in Gemini in my 11th is also building in the background, so even during Friday Dad lunch, the Arcwalk brain may already be lighting up for the weekend.

Week Ahead

Saturday, July 4: The Moon enters Pisces, and Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini. Mars also sextiles Neptune in Aries. This is the biggest Mars day of the week, with a fast and mentally charged field.
Sunday, July 5: Mars in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius. After the Mars-Uranus spark, Mars-Pluto gives the weekend a sharper current for focus and cutting through a tangled thread.
Monday, July 6: The Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries while the Moon enters Aries. This is the pressure point of the week, where the emotional field meets limits and the need for direction.
Tuesday, July 7: The Moon stays in Aries, and Neptune stations retrograde in Aries. This keeps the fire field active, but Neptune turning retrograde makes the day more surreal and strange around momentum.
Wednesday, July 8: The Moon enters Taurus and then conjoins Chiron. After the Aries pressure and Neptune station, the field moves into the places where sensitivity may ask for something more tangible.
Thursday, July 9: Venus enters Virgo. After the Leo Venus field of visibility and response, Venus moves into Virgo and brings attention toward the details that help love function.

Current reply path

I was able to respond to two Arcwalk follow-ups, and I think I have finished those off! Today I plan to work on an Arcwalk or two while I am with my dad and he plays volleyball.

I also plan to post sign-ups later today, sometime this evening after I’m back from lunch with Pop. 🌙

Notes Before We Begin

The Arcwalker Almanac - Thursday, July 2, 2026

The Moon stays in Aquarius all day, carrying yesterday’s sign change into a full day of community and future-facing thought.

The day begins with the Aquarius Moon conjunct Pluto, so the field may open with a stronger sense of what is underneath the surface. By midday, the Moon quincunxes the Cancer Sun, which can bring an adjustment between emotional privacy and social distance. By evening, the Aquarius Moon sextiles Saturn in Aries, giving the day a little more structure after the early fixed-field intensity.

Key Timings

Opening Window

12:11 AM: The Aquarius Moon conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius. The night carries the Aquarius field deeper, with more pattern-sense and a stronger pull toward what is hidden underneath the surface.

Live Field

12:02 PM: The Aquarius Moon quincunxes the Cancer Sun. This can bring an adjustment between private feeling and social distance, or between the body’s inner memory and the mind’s wider perspective.
6:48 PM: The Aquarius Moon sextiles Saturn in Aries. The evening may bring a little more structure or containment after a more detached or mentally active day.

Overnight Carryover

Friday, 7:14 AM: Jupiter in Leo quincunxes the True Node in Pisces. This can bring an adjustment between personal visibility or creative expansion and the larger direction something is trying to move toward.

Dispositor Chain

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 4° to 8° / 10° to 14° / 22° to 26°.

Who May Feel Today’s Main Contacts Most:

Early fixed placements near 4° to 8°: Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio placements may feel the Moon-Pluto contact and the Moon’s opposition to early Leo placements most directly.
Early air and fire placements near 4° to 8°: Aquarius placements may receive the Moon directly, while Gemini and Libra placements may receive trines from the Aquarius Moon. Aries and Sagittarius placements near these degrees may receive sextiles, which can make the Aquarius field easier to work with or translate into action.
Cardinal placements near 10° to 14°: Cancer placements may feel the Sun side of the quincunx, while Aries placements may feel Saturn’s part of the Moon-Saturn sextile. Capricorn and Libra placements near these degrees may feel the cardinal pressure points around the Sun and Saturn.
Mercury, Venus, or Sun ruled charts: Gemini risings, Virgo risings, Taurus risings, Libra risings, Leo risings, Mercury profection years, Venus profection years, and Sun profection years may feel today’s field more personally.

One thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post is that we took our car in to get work done on the scratches it got shortly after we bought it. This is a Mercury retrograde story if I have ever seen one. I wrote more about the original car mess in my Mercury Enters Aries post, but the short version is that we started the buying process during Mercury retrograde in Pisces. Documents were delayed and signatures happened later than expected. Then right after we got the car home, a windstorm sent a greenhouse into it and scratched it all up!

I had limited say in when we bought the car, so this is a timing lesson you can learn through me, hahahaha. With more control over timing, I would choose a different window for a car purchase. Life gives its own chart sometimes, and then the chart becomes something to track. So I win either way, hahaha.

I have a few charts for the car story. We bought the car on March 7, though I do not have the time for that one. I do have the time we picked it up and got inside to turn it on, which was March 11 at 12:08 PM. I also have the first time we took it somewhere, which was later that day at 6:38 PM when we drove it to the movies.

Those two charts can track different parts of the story. The pickup chart feels more like the car’s first time with us, or the moment the car entered our life as something physically in our care. The first outing chart may describe how the car behaves through movement and trips. For this repair story, the pickup chart feels more relevant because the scratches happened after we physically took possession of the car.

Car Pick-up Chart

Car Pick-up Chart

The pickup chart has about 0° Cancer rising, so the chart opens through Cancer. It begins with what needs to be kept safe. The Ascendant squares Saturn and Neptune in Aries in the 10th house by whole sign, with Venus also in Aries but farther away. That describes a public or official problem around a valued object. Saturn brings the structural issue, while Neptune brings the fog. Venus brings the value piece of a newer car.

The chart ruler is the Moon in Sagittarius in the 6th house, square the Sun in Pisces in the 9th. That fits the way the car became a practical daily-life problem that sprawled into a larger Jupiter-ruled story. Sagittarius and Pisces can widen the field, and with Mercury retrograde in Pisces, the details became slippery. The story moved through delays, and a sense of trying to understand how this happened.

Jupiter was in Cancer in the 1st house of the pickup chart, which I like. There is protection in the chart too. The car stayed with us, the damage could be repaired, and support came through eventually. Jupiter was tied into Mercury retrograde in Pisces by trine, so the help came through a watery paper trail. Mercury retrograde was also moving toward the North Node in Pisces near the MC, which makes the whole thing feel like a visible fate-thread around paperwork and direction.

The repair work is planned to be finished before Mercury Rx ends, so I'll keep this story updated!

Otherwise, I got a good recovery day in. Thank you to everyone who commented on yesterday’s post. Todd’s brother called him later in the day after the Moon was in Aquarius, and he brought up questions around life insurance. That felt like an Aquarius Moon moment to me. Aquarius often looks ahead and thinks about the larger structure around people. Life insurance is also a future-oriented shared-life topic. It asks what kind of system needs to exist for later.

The Gemini piece felt important too. The Aquarius Moon was trining Mars and Uranus in Gemini, and Gemini is a symbol I often see around Todd and his brother. Todd grew up with a brother in a household that made them tightly bonded. Todd has Gemini in his 5th house near Chiron, and that spot trines my Aquarius Sun. I often think of his childhood relationship with his brother as one of the healing forces connected to my own goals and dreams.

The Moon was squaring Chiron in Taurus, while Jupiter in Leo was also squaring Chiron, so the Chiron field was active through the day. That made the life insurance conversation feel sensitive but useful. It touched the softer places around what it means to care for someone beyond the present moment.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Aquarius 7th house

Global: 4° Moon conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 5° Moon opposes my ASC-Chiron in Leo 1st.
Natal: 8° Moon conjuncts my Saturn in Aquarius 7th.
Global: 10° Moon quincunxes Sun in Cancer 12th.
Natal: 25° Merc Rx in Cancer 12th quincunxes my Venus in Sag 5th.
Natal: 13° Moon in Aquarius 7th quincunxes my Jupiter in Virgo 2nd.
Global: 14° Moon sextiles Saturn in Aries 9th.
Natal: 22° Venus in Leo 1st squares my Pluto in Scorpio 4th.

Today is the first open day I have had in over a week. Yesterday became open after I canceled group therapy, but that still came with some guilt worked into it. Today’s main ask is laundry, which feels very simple. The Aquarius Moon is moving through my 7th house, but with the Sun in Cancer in my 12th, I want to stay gentle with how much of myself I give outward.

The day started with the Moon conjunct Pluto in Aquarius in my 7th house, then the Moon moved over the part of my chart that opposes my Leo ASC-Chiron. That makes the people-field feel noticeable today. I can feel the pull between being present with others and keeping enough space around my own body. With the Moon also crossing my natal Saturn in Aquarius, I am trying to let the day have structure without making the structure feel like pressure.

The Aquarius Moon quincunx the Cancer Sun also fits the mood. Part of me wants to post the almanac, reply to a few people, and stay connected to the wider web but another part of me wants to let the day settle around me from inside the Cancer 12th house field. I do think both can exist together today if I let the contact stay soft.

Mercury retrograde in Cancer is also quincunxing my Venus in Sagittarius, and this is the second Mercury-Venus quincunx contact. The first one happened on June 26, which was the day Todd and I went to pick up Lumber’s ashes. We have been in a kind of free fall since that happened, and all of this has unfolded inside the Mercury retrograde window.

This matters a lot for today because I still have delayed Father’s Day gifts for Todd to wrap and give him. I am often late with gifts, which I have mentioned in these posts before, haha. This Mercury retrograde window added grief and slowed timing to the usual delay. Today feels like the first day with enough space to let that care come back into motion by giving him the gifts and recuperating from some of the stress around Lumber.

Venus in Leo is squaring my Pluto in Scorpio too, so the gift piece feels a little deeper than the surface. Venus in my 1st house wants to show love and appreciation. Pluto in my 4th house brings in the private roots underneath it.

I also want to open another Arcwalk sign-up tomorrow, so getting through at least two more walks would help me feel more comfortable doing that. I am leaving that on the table today rather than forcing it. The Moon quincunx my Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd house makes me aware of my energy and pace. The Moon sextile Saturn in Aries later in the day may help me find a workable amount of direction without turning the whole day into a demand.

Week Ahead

Thursday, July 2: The Moon stays in Aquarius all day. This keeps the field focused on future-thinking and the wider social web.
Friday, July 3: Jupiter in Leo quincunxes the True Node in Pisces in the morning. The Moon stays in Aquarius through most of the day, then opposes Venus in Leo and goes void before heading toward Pisces overnight.
Saturday, July 4: The Moon enters Pisces, and Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini. Mars also sextiles Neptune in Aries. This is the biggest Mars day of the week, with a fast and mentally charged field.
Sunday, July 5: Mars in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius. After the Mars-Uranus spark, Mars-Pluto gives the weekend a sharper current for focus and cutting through a tangled thread.
Monday, July 6: The Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries while the Moon enters Aries. This is the pressure point of the week, where the emotional field meets limits and the need for direction.
Tuesday, July 7: The Moon stays in Aries, and Neptune stations retrograde in Aries. This keeps the fire field active, but Neptune turning retrograde makes the day more surreal and strange around momentum.
Wednesday, July 8: The Moon enters Taurus and then conjoins Chiron. After the Aries pressure and Neptune station, the field moves into the places where sensitivity may ask for something more tangible.

Current reply path

I plan to post the next Arcwalk signup tomorrow! I am going to check in with #1 and #6, reply to them, and then finish at least two more Arcwalks. If that all lines up, I should have 9 slots open for tomorrow.

I know some of you have asked whether I can add people to the list ahead of time, especially because I do not always post the signup during a timezone window that works for everyone. I hear you on that, and I am still trying to figure out the fairest way to handle it.

For now, I am keeping new spots tied to the signup post itself. My worry is that if I start adding people outside the signup, I can already see how it could turn into a long side-list that becomes outdated before I can actually sit down with the charts.

I want to help as many people as I can while keeping the list current, so thank you for being patient with me while I keep figuring out the best rhythm. I am open to suggestions too!

Notes Before We Begin

The Arcwalker Almanac - Wednesday, July 1, 2026

Happy July, Arcwalkers!

Today begins with the Capricorn Moon opposing Mercury retrograde in Cancer, pulling the day back onto the Cancer-Capricorn axis: what the body knows and what the mind is trying to explain. After that opposition, the Moon goes void in Capricorn until it enters Aquarius this afternoon, so the middle of the day may feel suspended in a practical-but-in-between field before the tone changes signs.

By afternoon, the Moon enters Aquarius and immediately moves into the early fixed field with Jupiter in Leo and Chiron in Taurus, then hits Mars in Gemini and the outer planet crown. Jupiter also squares Chiron tonight, so the first full day of Jupiter in Leo meets the new Taurus Chiron story. The day may ask what visibility costs and what kind of courage can stay connected to the body.

Key Timings

Opening Window

6:50 AM: The Capricorn Moon opposes Mercury retrograde in Cancer and goes void. This carries the morning into a head-versus-body or memory-versus-task kind of field.

Live Field

6:50 AM to 2:32 PM: The Moon is void in Capricorn after opposing Mercury retrograde. This keeps the middle of the day in a suspended Capricorn field, where practical things may still move, but the emotional thread may feel like it has already reached its last major turn.
2:32 PM: The Moon enters Aquarius, shifting the field from Capricorn maintenance into Aquarius distance and future-facing thought.
3:13 PM: The Aquarius Moon opposes Jupiter in Leo. The new Leo growth story may meet an Aquarius mirror around other community or perspective.
3:19 PM: The Aquarius Moon squares Chiron in Taurus. The early fixed field may bring sensitivity around feeling safe enough to take up space.
7:03 PM: The Aquarius Moon trines Mars in Gemini. This can bring movement back through conversation, ideas, friends, online spaces, or scattered threads that begin connecting.
9:23 PM: Jupiter in Leo squares Chiron in Taurus. This is the main non-lunar aspect of the day, bringing the new Jupiter-in-Leo chapter into contact with the Taurus Chiron story around what feels safe enough to grow.
10:01 PM: The Aquarius Moon trines Uranus in Gemini. The late field may feel more electric or open to a sudden new angle.
11:19 PM: The Aquarius Moon sextiles Neptune in Aries. This can soften the late field into a wider sense of what the day has been trying to show.

Overnight Carryover

12:11 AM Thursday: The Aquarius Moon conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius. The night carries the Aquarius field deeper, with more pattern-sense and a stronger pull toward what is hidden underneath the surface.

Dispositor Chain

Morning chain before the Moon enters Aquarius:

Pluto in Aquarius → Saturn + Neptune in Aries → Mars + Uranus in Gemini → Sun + Mercury Rx in Cancer [← Venus + Jupiter in Leo ← Chiron in Taurus] → Moon in Capricorn → back to Saturn + Neptune in Aries → Loop.

After the Moon enters Aquarius:

After Moon enters Aquarius

Moon + Pluto in Aquarius → Saturn + Neptune in Aries → Mars + Uranus in Gemini → Sun + Mercury Rx in Cancer [← Venus + Jupiter in Leo ← Chiron in Taurus] → back to Moon in Aquarius → Saturn + Neptune in Aries → Loop.

I tried two styles today: one with a little “step text” arrow path, and one without it. The steps make it easier to show where each planet flows when the chain does not line up perfectly, but they also make the whole thing look kinda ugly, haha!

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 0° to 5° / 24° to 28°.

Who May Feel Today’s Main Contacts Most:

Early fixed placements near 0° to 5°: Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio placements may feel the Jupiter-Chiron square and the Aquarius Moon’s early fixed contacts most directly. Leo holds Jupiter, Taurus holds Chiron, Aquarius receives the Moon, and Scorpio completes the fixed pressure pattern.
Early air placements near 0° to 5°: Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra placements may feel the Aquarius Moon trining Mars and Uranus in Gemini as a conversational or future-facing current.
Late cardinal placements near 24° to 28°: Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, and Libra placements may feel the Moon opposite Mercury Rx and the Capricorn void Moon most directly. This can bring old conversations or unfinished tasks back into the field.
Mercury or Sun ruled charts: Gemini risings, Virgo risings, Leo risings, Mercury profection years, and Sun profection years may feel today’s field more personally.

Questions

P.S. I also make these posts on my Substack for free.

Did you notice Jupiter entering Leo in your chart yet? Which house did it enter for you? This could be subtle, but I’m curious whether anyone noticed anything.
Did you notice the Capricorn Moon square Saturn in Aries yesterday?
How about Moon quincunx Venus? I’m curious whether anyone noticed an adjustment between what had to be done and what wanted attention.

I had a bad day yesterday, and in order to keep this from becoming an entire book, I'm going to summarize some past info in bullet list form first so you can get a grasp of the background. Then I’ll go into what happened yesterday and bring the astrology in with the story.

I have what many people call borderline personality disorder, although inside my own body it feels tangled with OCD-level people pleasing. I have to behave, I have to be good. I have to stay morally okay. If I fall out of line, the old fear says I get put away.
Growing up, when my reactions got too large, I was sent to my room to calm down. I place the blame on the culture I was born into and the size of the feelings I came in with, not my parents. My room-time calmed me down because a person eventually runs out of energy and can't scream forever, but it also made my brain too dissociative. I was alone with a swarm in my head, and the swarm made rules to live by, in order to lessen the punishments.
My IC is in Libra, so the root of me is always trying to keep the room balanced. Libra's ruler, Venus in Sagittarius in my 5th house, which should be a place of joy and expression, but it is intercepted in Placidus. By sign, it sits apart from the rest of my planets. I can access it on Venus activation days, but it is harder to live there every day.
I have Chiron conjunct my Leo Ascendant, with my Sun and Saturn in Aquarius opposing that area. Saturn is strong in Aquarius, but in my night chart it is out of sect. I have a twilight chart so I can go either way but Saturn often shows up as a night Saturn in these cases It has authority, but it can feel harsh to live under. With that opposing my Ascendant and Chiron, being seen can hurt.
I started psychiatry and therapy around age 19 or 20. Before that, I had years of feelings with barely any language. Moving away to college helped me realize I had been deprived in certain emotional categories, and that is when I started trying to name the whole thing.
Around 2015, I found a medication setup that helped me focus. Before that, I could barely read. I would start a sentence and lose the beginning by the time I reached the end. School was hard because my brain was in alarm, while performance was still expected.
My psych appointments are also hard because my Mercury-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn, with Uranus nearby, can scramble what happened afterward. I like having a witness nearby because my brain can change the sequence later. Since this is in my 6th house, even remembering a medical appointment becomes part of the daily tower I have to build.

Yesterday morning, I was at my parents’ house. I usually spend Sunday and Monday nights there. That started years ago because I had two dogs who needed separation time, and the rhythm stayed after that. I told my parents I thought I could handle the appointment on my own. I thought it would be a basic update. I had the meds I needed. I thought I was going in to explain the current system and leave.

The appointment was at 8:30 AM, with the Moon in Capricorn in my 6th house. The Moon had already squared Saturn in Aries in my 9th that morning, so the authority pressure was still active. Capricorn 6th house already puts medication, symptoms, appointments, and daily survival into focus. Aries 9th house Saturn brings the doctor, the rules, the treatment philosophy, the larger authority structure.

This appointment had months of medication history behind it. Last summer when Saturn entered Aries, I started a new medication.

But by November, when I wanted to go back on the medication that had already helped me, since this one wasn't working, he would only let that happen after I came off around three different medications first. So the story turned from trying a new medication into having my whole medication structure taken apart. The one medication I kept asking for was held behind this long chain of conditions.

By the end, he wanted me off my antidepressant too. That is the part that hits the hardest because I have disability for this. Depression, emotional regulation, focus, daily functioning, all of that is part of why I need support in the first place. So it felt like the system meant to help me was cleaning me out while still expecting me to stay calm and easy to manage. Saturn in Aries, everyone.

My most recent appointment before today is part of this story. Venus was conjunct my South Node in Cancer in my 12th house, and my mom was there with me. That was when I finally got the medication back. It was only one piece, at the lowest dose, but it was the piece I had been trying to get back since the medication story started unraveling after the summer trial. Cancer 12th house Venus on the South Node is on key: mother help, private fear, old survival wiring, and the hidden place where I still need someone beside me.

Then yesterday, with the Sun almost conjunct that same South Node point, the story repeated under a harsher light. I went into the appointment thinking the main crisis had passed because I had finally gotten the medication back. I thought I was there to update him on the current setup.

Instead, after the summer medication trial, after November became the point where he kept blocking the return to the medication that helped, after he wanted me off around three other medications, after he even wanted me off my antidepressant, he told me I was being put on a behavior plan.

It felt like the person who had cleaned out my medication structure was now writing down my reaction to being destabilized as a behavior problem. The Venus-South Node appointment brought the medication back through my mom. The Sun-South Node echo brought the same survival story back through the threat of being cut off. With my natal Sun-Saturn conjunction, though a bit wide, I felt that aspect here.

He explained that if the pattern continued, he could eventually end the provider relationship. For me, that hits the abandonment wound that many borderlines face. Even though this psychiatrist relationship has been hard, the threat of being cut off still hit the deepest part of the wiring.

I asked him what he meant before I melted down, and I am proud of that. I stayed with the words for a moment. But he said he hasn't decided yet. When I started boiling over due to all the implications flooding my system, my parents came in. My mom helped figure out what was happening, and my dad was there too as a rock. Later, after the appointment, Todd came in through the phone and helped talk through it. That felt like the Moon sextile my Pluto in Scorpio in the 4th. The family root came in around the old room. The childhood pattern activated, but the door opened.

The Moon squaring my Aries MC fits that reputation terror. My Aries MC wants agency. It wants to be known through my own fire. Yesterday felt like someone else had the pen. Venus in Leo trining my MC was also active, and that felt like the part of me that could still write it and turn the wound into something visible through my own values.

The Moon quincunx Venus in Leo in my 1st felt like the mismatch between my actual self and the patient-file version of me. Venus in Leo wants dignity. Capricorn Moon in the 6th was sitting in the appointment language and the medical frame. That quincunx felt like being seen through a frame that did not match the person inside the body.

The Moon crossing my Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury in Capricorn describes the mental weather of the appointment. Uranus was the shock and the virtual appointment static. Neptune was the blur and dissociation. Mercury was the wording and the way one sentence can become a whole hallway in my head.

The hardest part is that this felt like emotion being treated as behavior. From inside my body, it was fear and old abandonment terror. From the outside, I think my reactions can look bigger because I am tall. I am 5’10, close to 5’11, and I am starting to think people may read my distress through size before they understand the wound. Similar to how human males tend to be targeted due to the fear they can inflict due to size. Inside, I am wailing. Outside, I look scary. That hurts because I am trying to survive the feeling while other people react to the volume of it.

Jupiter entering Leo matters because it is entering my 1st house and beginning a year where visibility gets larger. Me noticing the size-piece of my melt-downs might be part of that. Jupiter entering Leo also walks straight toward my Chiron-Ascendant story. Jupiter says be seen but Chiron says being seen hurts. Yesterday felt like the first roar of that doorway.

The Moon trined my Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd while Saturn was separating from a quincunx to my Jupiter, and Ceres in Gemini in the 11th was squaring it. Jupiter in Virgo in my 2nd is where support has to become practical. Care has to become meds, food, rides, money, and actual help. Ceres in Gemini in my 11th brought care through conversation and witnesses, but the square made it pressured. Care was present while the need felt exposed.

Mars applying to Uranus in Gemini in my 11th was buzzing through the whole thing too. My mind kept jumping to the future record, the doctor network, the file, the label, and the social consequence. Gemini 11th house Mars-Uranus is the spark in the information web. It is the fear of a story moving faster than my ability to explain myself.

I got through it. I lost a lot of support-medication but I have the one med I needed most. I have my family. I have Todd. I have astrology. But yesterday hurt. A lot.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Capricorn 6th house into Aquarius 7th house

Global: 26° Moon in Cap 6th opposes Merc Rx in Cancer 12th
Global: 0° Moon in Aquarius 7th opposes Jupiter in Leo 1st.
Global: 0° Moon in Aquarius 7th squares Chiron in Taurus 10th.
Natal: 0° Moon in Aquarius 7th quincunxes my Moon in Virgo 2nd.
Natal: 1° Moon in Aquarius 7th conjuncts my Sun in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 0° Chiron in Taurus 10th trines my Moon in Virgo 2nd.
Global: 2° Moon in Aquarius 7th trines Mars in Gemini 11th.
Global: 0° Jupiter in Leo 1st squares Chiron in Taurus 10th.
Global: 3° Moon in Aquarius 7th trines Uranus in Gemini 11th.
Global: 4° Moon in Aquarius 7th sextiles Neptune in Aries 9th.

For today, I think I am moving through the aftershock of yesterday.

The Moon in Capricorn in my 6th house opposing Mercury Rx in Cancer in my 12th, so the morning feels like my body trying to move through yesterday while my mind keeps replaying the hidden parts. The things said during the appointment keep ricocheting around my head, and I can feel my brain wanting to build a whole tower around every phrase. Since this is still the 6th/12th axis, I think today is about keeping the day simple enough for my nervous system to come back down.

Once the Moon enters Aquarius in my 7th, it starts hitting the people axis again. That makes the day feel sensitive around being seen and being known through other people’s eyes. Jupiter in my 1st is opening a bigger visibility year, but Chiron in the 10th keeps pressing on reputation pain.

The Moon quincunx my Virgo Moon in the 2nd makes my body feel like it needs a smaller day. My Virgo Moon wants something practical to hold onto, but Aquarius Moon in the 7th is more detached, more outside of my body. So I am probably going to focus on low-pressure things like video games, maybe some Arcwalks if they come naturally.

The Moon conjunct my Sun in Aquarius in the 7th may bring me back to myself through other people, even if that just means being near Todd, my parents, the dogs, or whoever feels easy. I am tired, and today feels like a recovery day. So I am letting the Aquarius Moon do what it can do best: create a little distance and let me exist beside the story instead of inside the worst part of it.

Week Ahead

Thursday, July 2: The Moon stays in Aquarius all day. This keeps the field focused on future-thinking and the wider social web.
Friday, July 3: The Moon stays in Aquarius through most of the day, then heads toward Pisces overnight.
Saturday, July 4: The Moon enters Pisces, and Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini. Mars also sextiles Neptune in Aries. This is the biggest Mars day of the week, with a fast and mentally charged field.
Sunday, July 5: Mars in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius. After the Mars-Uranus spark, Mars-Pluto gives the weekend a sharper current for focus and cutting through a tangled thread.
Monday, July 6: The Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries while the Moon enters Aries. This is the pressure point of the week, where the emotional field meets limits and the need for direction.
Tuesday, July 7: The Moon stays in Aries, and Neptune stations retrograde in Aries. This keeps the fire field active, but Neptune turning retrograde makes the day more surreal and strange around momentum.

Notes Before We Begin

The Arcwalker Almanac - Tuesday, June 30, 2026

Today brings Jupiter into Leo while the Moon continues through Capricorn after yesterday’s Full Moon. The field is still carrying the Cancer-Capricorn axis, but Jupiter’s sign change opens a new fire current around visibility, courage, identity, and what wants to be seen more fully.

The Capricorn Moon keeps the day practical and body-aware, especially as it squares Saturn in Aries early in the morning. By evening, the Moon quincunxes Venus in Leo, so the day may ask for an adjustment between responsibility and the desire to feel alive or creatively visible.

Key Timings

Live Field

12:52 AM: Jupiter enters Leo, opening a new chapter around visibility, confidence, and the desire to be seen more fully.
6:51 AM: The Capricorn Moon squares Saturn in Aries, carrying yesterday’s Full Moon field into a more serious or reality-checking morning.
6:56 PM: The Capricorn Moon quincunxes Venus in Leo. The evening may bring an adjustment between duty and desire, or between what has to be done and what wants to feel warm, expressive, or alive.

Overnight Carryover

Wednesday, 6:51 AM: The Capricorn Moon opposes Mercury retrograde in Cancer. This carries the day into a head-versus-body or memory-versus-task kind of morning.

Dispositor Chain

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 0° to 4° / 12° to 22°.

Who May Feel Today’s Main Contacts Most:

Early Leo placements near 0° to 4°: Jupiter enters Leo, so early Leo placements may begin feeling a new growth current around visibility and taking up more space.
Early fixed placements near 0° to 4°: Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio placements may feel Jupiter’s sign change more directly. Leo hosts Jupiter, Aquarius receives the opposition, and Taurus or Scorpio may feel the pressure through squares.
Cardinal placements near 12° to 16°: Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, and Libra placements may feel the Moon square Saturn most directly. Capricorn hosts the Moon, Aries hosts Saturn, and Cancer or Libra may feel the pressure through opposition or square.
Leo and Capricorn placements near 18° to 22° may feel the Moon-Venus quincunx most directly. Leo holds Venus, Capricorn holds the Moon, so this can highlight the adjustment between desire and what the body can actually carry.
Mercury or Sun ruled charts: Gemini risings, Virgo risings, Leo risings, Mercury profection years, and Sun profection years may feel today’s field more personally.

Questions

I'm going to bring back yesterday's questions and bring in one for today.

Do you have anything near 26° Cancer in your chart, or did that degree contact any of your planets, angles, or points by aspect yesterday? If so, what have you been noticing? This is where Mercury stationed retrograde.
Check 8° Capricorn in your chart. Did the Full Moon land near one of your planets, angles, or points by aspect? How has this lunation been feeling so far?
Check 0° Leo in your chart. What house is Jupiter entering, and what kind of visibility or growth story might be beginning there?

The main event was meeting with a doctor to get a sleep study started. Sleep apnea runs through my family, and my psychiatrist wants me to check whether treating it could help with my depression, since it has helped other people in my family in other ways.

That felt like the 6th house Moon in Capricorn trining my natal Moon in Virgo in the 2nd house. The body became something I could understand through measurement and language, instead of only fear. It also reminded me of the day the transiting Moon was actually on my natal Moon, when we took Rogan and Rueger to the vet on June 19. You can read more about that in this post’s Yesterday’s Walking With section.

That day, the vet was measuring Rueger’s lumps and using dictation to turn the body into medical language. I remember noticing how similar that felt to the sleep doctor I just experienced, just through a different field. Yesterday’s Full Moon helped me recognize the lunar echo between the two days. When the Moon was on my natal Virgo Moon, the body-language came through the dogs and the vet. When the Capricorn Full Moon trined my natal Virgo Moon, the same pattern returned through my own body and the practical steps toward the sleep study. The trine made the body-language feel familiar enough to follow.

The the Moon quincunx my ASC-Chiron in Leo pulled it through my body and identity and the Sun quincunxed my natal Saturn in Aquarius in the 7th house yesterday, which fit the discomfort of being evaluated by another person. I do not always like sitting across from someone in an authority role and trying to explain myself. But this time the Saturn piece felt more workable because he structured the conversation well.

The Moon conjunct my Mars-North Node in Capricorn in the 6th house feels like the actual activation point. It was a health appointment, but it was also a necessary step to take towards my mental-health-daily-life-path.

The Moon also quincunxed Mars in Gemini and Uranus in Gemini in my 11th house, which fit some of the mental scattering and social-information bits of the day. On the way to and from the doctor, my mom and I listened to a political-astrological-tarot podcast together. It was perfect for the Gemini field because we kept pausing it to translate the parts we each understood better. When I had political questions, I asked her. When the astrology or tarot parts came up, she asked me. So the car ride became a shared Gemini processing space, where each of us had a different key to the same conversation!

This felt really cool because I often associate Gemini with my mom. She has a 7th house Gemini Moon, and she processes emotion by interacting with information, people, questions, and the world around her. So the Moon’s quincunxes to Mars and Uranus in Gemini in my 11th house showed up as two people helping each other understand the bigger field.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Capricorn 6th house

Global: 0° Jupiter enters Leo 1st.
Natal: 1° Mars in Gemini 11th trines my Sun in Aqua 7th.
Natal: 14° Moon trines my Jupiter in Virgo 2nd.
Natal: 14° Moon conjuncts my Uranus in Cap 6th.
Global: 14° Moon in Cap 6th squares Saturn in Aries 9th.
Natal: 17° Moon conjuncts my Neptune in Cap 6th.
Natal: 17° Moon conjuncts my Mercury in Cap 6th.
Global: 20° Moon in Cap 6th quincunxes Venus in Leo 1st.
Natal: 20° Moon squares my MC in Aries 9th.
Natal: 20° Venus in Leo 1st trines my MC in Aries 9th.
Natal: 22° Moon sextiles my Pluto in Scorpio 4th.

Today starts with a psych appointment almost right after I post this, which fits the Capricorn Moon staying in my 6th house. It should be a simpler appointment than the ones where I am trying to wrangle a new med or convince him of what I need. This one is more about updating him, but it's a virtual visit and those tend to stress me out. Even a tiny delay in the video can throw me off because I start trying to track too much at once.

That feels like the Moon moving through my Capricorn 6th house and touching my natal Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury there. The appointment is practical and routine-based, but the way it happens through a screen can scramble the timing. Moon-Uranus brings the tech layer, Moon-Neptune brings the weird blur of video delay, and Moon-Mercury makes the whole thing run through response time and whether I can keep myself organized while talking.

The Moon square Saturn in Aries in my 9th also fits the pressure I can feel around doctors and authority. This aspect activates the part of me that wants the conversation to land correctly. The 9th house Saturn piece makes me aware of the larger medical framework around the appointment, while the 6th house Moon keeps bringing it back to the practical update I actually need to give.

After that, my parents want to go trailer shopping, which feels like the day opening into a much more fun version of the same practical-body-field. My parents are big campers, and the trailer they have used for years has been breaking down more and more. So we are going to look at possible new ones, and I want to go just because I love tiny self-contained spaces.

I can see this through the Moon trining my natal Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd house. I love seeing a whole living system miniaturized into something useful. The layouts, storage choices, surfaces, brands, and little design differences all make my Virgo Moon and Jupiter happy because everything has a place and a function. It is the pleasure of seeing life organized into a smaller container.

Mars in Gemini in my 11th trining my Aquarius Sun in the 7th also fits being with other people while learning through conversation. I do not know all the technical details of campers, so I am hoping to learn while I am with them. The Gemini 11th house part likes the information exchange, the questions, the comparing models, and the social field of walking through different options together.

Then Venus in Leo trining my MC gives the day a little brighter public-facing current. It makes sense that after posting the almanac, handling the virtual appointment, and going out with my parents, I would still be moving through a visible Leo/Aries fire thread. There is a small adventure feeling in it, even if the actual activity is looking at trailers. Maybe a good time for Arcwalks!

The Moon sextile my Pluto in Scorpio in the 4th pulls the whole thing back into family and home. Trailer shopping is technically about my parents buying something practical, but it is also about the way a small living space can hold a whole emotional world.

Week Ahead

Tuesday, June 30: Jupiter enters Leo at 12:52 AM. This opens a new chapter around confidence and being seen more fully. Something that has been growing privately may begin moving toward a more visible field.
Wednesday, July 1: The Moon enters Aquarius at 2:32 PM. Jupiter squares Chiron at 9:24 PM, bringing the new Leo chapter into contact with Taurus themes of worth and what it takes to feel secure enough to take up space.
Saturday, July 4: Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini at 1:07 AM. The Moon enters Pisces at 1:30 AM. Mars sextiles Neptune in Aries at 7:44 PM. This is the biggest Mars day of the week. The field may feel fast, electric, restless, inspired, disruptive, symbolic, or hard to keep still.
Sunday, July 5: Mars in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius at 8:06 AM. This gives the weekend a sharper current for research or cutting through something tangled. After the Mars-Uranus spark, Mars-Pluto can give the mind a more focused edge.
Next Monday, July 6: The Sun squares Saturn in Aries at 5:47 AM while the Moon enters Aries at 10:07 AM shortly after. Monday carries the Mars-Uranus weekend into a more immediate Aries field, where the charge may want motion or a clear place to go.

Current reply path

I’ve been a little slower with Arcwalks this week because I’ve been working on a few at the same time. I think Mars being in Gemini is showing up here. My mind keeps branching into multiple charts at once, so the readings are still moving, just in a more scattered, multi-threaded way than usual. I’ll still complete them all, I just wanted to explain why the pace has been a little different.

Notes Before We Begin

Format note: I am trying a shorter version of the Almanac today. The older version helped me with the rhythm of daily sky tracking, but I need a container that can keep moving with real life. So this version will focus on the main sky, key timings, chart tracking, and cap it off with the Walking With section.

Timing note: All times in this almanac are listed in Central Time. For quick conversion: Pacific subtract 2 hours, Eastern add 1 hour, UTC add 5 hours, London add 6 hours, Dubai add 9 hours, Tokyo add 14 hours, and Sydney add 15 hours.

Timezone note: The daily field may land a little differently depending on where you are. If you would like a quick breakdown for your timezone, please leave a comment with your timezone or general location, and I can convert the main timing points for you. [Example]

The Arcwalker Almanac - Monday, June 29, 2026

Today brings the Mercury retrograde station in Cancer and the Full Moon in Capricorn, so the Cancer-Capricorn axis is lighting up. Cancer pulls attention toward private feeling and memory, while Capricorn asks what can be carried in real life. Mercury turns us back toward what has been stirring since June 12, while the Capricorn Full Moon brings something into clearer form by evening.

Key Timings

Opening Window

2:18 AM: The Moon enters Capricorn, moving the field into structure and practical reality.
2:56 AM: The Capricorn Moon trines Chiron in Taurus. This gives the early morning a steadier healing thread, especially around what feels safe enough to hold.
3:03 AM: The Capricorn Moon quincunxes Mars in Gemini. The early morning may bring a mismatch between the need for steadiness and the urge to react or say something quickly.

Live Field

9:39 AM: The Capricorn Moon quincunxes Uranus in Gemini. The morning may feel restless or mentally jumpy, with plans needing adjustment.
11:11 AM: The Capricorn Moon squares Neptune in Aries, so the late morning may feel symbolic or harder to sort.
12:36 PM: Mercury stations retrograde at 26° Cancer. This begins the active retrograde period, which lasts until July 23.
6:56 PM: The Full Moon in Capricorn is exact at 8° Capricorn. This lights up the Cancer-Capricorn axis around emotional safety and what has to be carried.
11:21 PM: Mars in Gemini squares the True Node in Pisces, words and nervous-system sparks may feel more charged throughout the day.

Overnight Carryover

12:52 AM Tuesday: Jupiter enters Leo, opening a new chapter around visibility and the desire to be seen more fully.
6:51 AM Tuesday: The Capricorn Moon squares Saturn in Aries, carrying the Full Moon field into a more serious or reality-checking morning.

Dispositor Chain

Aquarius Pluto → Aries Saturn + Neptune → Gemini Mars + Uranus → Cancer Mercury Rx + Sun + Jupiter → Capricorn Moon → back to Aries Saturn + Neptune

Side current: Taurus Chiron → Leo Venus → Cancer Sun → Capricorn Moon → back to Aries Saturn + Neptune

Overnight note: After Jupiter enters Leo, Jupiter joins Venus in the Leo current and reports to the Cancer Sun.

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 0° to 4° / 6° to 10° / 24° to 28°.

Who May Feel Today’s Main Contacts Most:

Cardinal placements near 6° to 10°: Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, and Libra placements may feel the Full Moon most directly. Capricorn hosts the Moon, Cancer receives the opposition, and Aries or Libra may feel the pressure through squares.
Late Cardinal placements near 24° to 28°: Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra placements may feel Mercury stationing retrograde at 26° Cancer. This can bring emotional language, memory, timing, or old conversations back into focus.
Early Earth placements near 0° to 4°: Capricorn and Taurus placements may feel the Moon’s early contacts, including the Moon trine Chiron. This can bring a steadier thread around the body, worth, safety, or what feels possible to hold.
Early Gemini placements near 0° to 4°: The Moon quincunxes Mars and Uranus in Gemini, while Mars squares the True Node later tonight. This can bring restlessness or a need to adjust the plan.
Early Aries or Pisces placements near 0° to 4°: Aries placements may feel the Moon-Neptune square, while Pisces placements may feel Mars square the True Node. This can make the day feel more symbolic or harder to sort.
Late Cancer and early Leo placements: Jupiter changes signs overnight, so something that has been growing privately may begin moving toward a more visible chapter.
Mercury or Moon ruled charts: Gemini risings, Virgo risings, Cancer risings, Mercury profection years, and Moon profection years may feel today’s field more personally.

Whole Sign Quick Arcasts

Format note: I am changing this section too. The older Arcasts were already written more like house math than full daily stories, but writing all twelve still took a lot of time. So for the shorter Almanac, I am removing the “arc” and keeping the simple basics. This section will list where today’s main sky lands by Whole Sign houses.

Questions

Since I have not posted an Almanac for about a week, let’s use today’s questions to focus on what is active now and what is coming into view.

Do you have anything near 26° Cancer in your chart, or does that degree contact any of your planets, angles, or points by aspect? If so, what have you been noticing?
Check 8° Capricorn in your chart. Does the Full Moon land near one of your planets, angles, or points by aspect? How is this lunation feeling so far?

Yesterday's Aspects - Moon in Sagittarius 5th house

Global: 14° Moon in Sagittarius 5th trined 14° Saturn in Aries 9th.
Global: 29° Mars in Taurus 10th sextiled 29° Jupiter in Cancer 12th.
Global: 0° Mars entered Gemini 11th.
Global: 17° Moon in Sagittarius 5th trined 17° Venus in Leo 1st.
Natal: 20° Moon in Sagittarius 5th trined my 20° MC in Aries 9th.
Global: 26° Moon in Sagittarius 5th quincunxed 26° Mercury in Cancer 12th.
Natal: 17° Venus in Leo 1st quincunxed my 17° Mercury in Capricorn 6th.
Natal: 25° Moon in Sagittarius 5th conjuncted my 25° Venus in Sagittarius 5th.

Yesterday feels like a simple day, but it still connects pretty easily to the transits. The main thing is that Todd and I started a new walking system with the dogs because Rogan is having a harder time with walks. She has a throat and breathing issue we are looking into, and longer walks are harder for her right now.

That feels connected to Mars leaving Taurus and entering Gemini. Mars at the end of Taurus in my 10th feels like the old fixed way we were doing the walk, where the routine had one main shape. Then Mars enters Gemini in my 11th, and the system splits into two paths. One of us turns around with Rogan for the shorter walk, while the other keeps going with Rueger for the longer walk. It becomes more flexible and more about figuring out what works for everyone involved.

The Moon trine Saturn in Aries connects with the Vietnam War documentary I finished with my dad. The Sagittarius Moon in the 5th fits the documentary part because I love learning through stories. Saturn in Aries in the 9th fits the war history and the harder subject matter. Dad is a big war buff and knows a lot about this stuff, so it worked well as something we could watch together.

The Moon trining my MC in Aries also fits the Mercury retrograde post. I made the Mercury stationing retrograde in Cancer post and talked some about how I plan to do almanacs going forward. I am leaning toward weekday almanacs, and some days may get skipped depending on what is going on. That feels like my public work getting reshaped into something I can actually keep doing.

The Moon quincunx Mercury in Cancer in the 12th fits that too. There is an adjustment between wanting to post, explain, and keep up with the almanacs, while also needing a more protected rhythm. Mercury stationing retrograde in Cancer feels like it is already making me rethink the system from the inside.

The Moon conjunct my Venus in Sagittarius in the 5th fits the documentary mood too. I have been watching a lot of documentaries lately, especially cult ones, and I think that has been showing up since the Sun entered my Cancer 12th house. I am drawn into hidden stories right now. Cult documentaries especially feel Cancer 12th house because they get into belonging, fear, family patterns, and private worlds people get pulled into.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Sag 5th house into Capricorn 6th house

Global: 0° Moon in Capricorn 6th trines 0° Chiron in Taurus 10th.
Global: 0° Moon in Capricorn 6th quincunxes 0° Mars in Gemini 11th.
Natal: 0° Moon in Capricorn 6th trines my 0° Moon in Virgo 2nd.
Global: 3° Moon in Capricorn 6th quincunxes 3° Uranus in Gemini 11th.
Global: 4° Moon in Capricorn 6th squares 4° Neptune in Aries 9th.
Natal: 5° Moon in Capricorn 6th quincunxes my 5° ASC-Chiron in Leo 1st.
Global: 26° Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer 12th.
Global: 8° Sun in Cancer 12th opposes 8° Moon in Capricorn 6th.
Natal: 8° Sun in Cancer 12th quincunxes my 8° Saturn in Aquarius 7th.
Natal: 9° Moon in Capricorn 6th conjuncts my 9° Mars-NN in Capricorn 6th.

This morning I am feeling irritable, and that fits the sky pretty well. Mars is in Gemini now, and it is also bumping up against the nodes, so there can be more nervous system friction and frustration around plans or people. The Moon in Capricorn quincunx Mars in Gemini also fits that feeling of having to adjust to something while already feeling keyed up.

The main event today is that I have a sleep study later. My psychiatrist thinks a lot of my mental health issues come from bad sleep patterns, even though I usually get 7 to 8 hours a night and I feel awake during the day. This has been an ongoing struggle with him because he has been pushing to get me off medication since I transferred to him years ago. I have a documented mental disability, so it gets frustrating when the focus keeps going toward things that have not helped me.

At the same time, I am open to doing the sleep study. Maybe there is something happening while I sleep that I cannot see from the inside. Maybe my breathing is part of it. The 6th house Capricorn Moon makes sense for a health appointment that is more practical than emotional. It is about the body, routine, testing, and having to deal with the medical side of life.

The Moon trine Chiron in Taurus in the 10th fits the public or professional part of this too. A health issue is being brought into a formal setting. There is a wound around being handled by authority figures, and today that gets touched through the appointment itself. Chiron in the 10th can feel like having to bring pain into a professional room and hope it gets read correctly.

The Moon trine my Moon in Virgo in the 2nd also fits the body check-in piece. Virgo Moon is already sensitive to routines and whether something is functioning right. The Capricorn Moon supports that part of me by making the day more focused on practical information. Even if I am annoyed, part of me can still see the usefulness of gathering data.

The Moon square Neptune in Aries also fits the part where things feel blurry or aggravating around belief and perspective. It is hard when someone else’s theory about what is wrong starts taking over the room. Neptune in the 9th can bring confusion around the larger explanation, especially when someone is pushing a version of the story that does not feel accurate to my life.

Mercury stationing retrograde in Cancer in the 12th is a huge part of this. A sleep study is literally a 12th house Mercury event. It is about sleep, hidden patterns, medical information, and something being reviewed from behind the scenes. Mercury stationing in the 12th can also bring up old mental health conversations and the feeling of having to revisit the same issue again.

The Sun in Cancer in the 12th opposing the Moon in Capricorn in the 6th puts the whole day on the 12th and 6th house axis. Sleep and hidden patterns are on one side. Health routines and medical appointments are on the other. This also lands right across my nodal axis, with the Moon near my North Node in Capricorn and the Sun near my South Node in Cancer. So the Full Moon is lighting up that old 12th house pull while also pointing me toward the 6th house work of showing up and dealing with the practical side of my health.

Week Ahead

Tuesday, June 30: Jupiter enters Leo at 12:52 AM. This opens a new chapter around confidence and being seen more fully. Something that has been growing privately may begin moving toward a more visible field.
Wednesday, July 1: The Moon enters Aquarius at 2:32 PM. Jupiter squares Chiron at 9:24 PM, bringing the new Leo chapter into contact with Taurus themes of worth and what it takes to feel secure enough to take up space.
Saturday, July 4: Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini at 1:07 AM. The Moon enters Pisces at 1:30 AM. Mars sextiles Neptune in Aries at 7:44 PM. This is the biggest Mars day of the week. The field may feel fast, electric, restless, inspired, disruptive, symbolic, or hard to keep still.
Sunday, July 5: Mars in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius at 8:06 AM. This gives the weekend a sharper current for research or cutting through something tangled. After the Mars-Uranus spark, Mars-Pluto can give the mind a more focused edge.

Current reply path

I have a sleep study later today, so I may get to an Arcwalk today depending on how the day goes.

[June 29 - July 23] Mercury Stations Retrograde in Cancer

Helpful Links

Mercury Retrograde in Cancer

Pre-Shadow Began: June 12 - Cancer 16°
Retrograde Station: June 29 - Cancer 26°
Direct Station: July 23 - Cancer 16°
Post-Shadow Ends: August 6 - Cancer 26°

Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer on June 29, turning the page back to what has been stirring since June 12. From tomorrow through July 23, Mercury retraces the degrees between Cancer 26° and 16°, bringing old conversations, memories, family patterns, emotional responses, and private thoughts back into view.

Cancer is a sign of memory, protection, belonging, and emotional history. Mercury here asks where the thought came from, what feeling shaped it, and what part of us learned to speak that way.

Lead-In

The story begins before the retrograde itself. Venus and Jupiter met at Cancer 25° on June 9, close to the degree where Mercury later turns backward. That gives the late Cancer area a softer lead-in. Something may have opened, grown, softened, or revealed its emotional value before Mercury returned to review it.

Mercury entered its shadow on June 12 at Cancer 16°, the same day Uranus squared the nodes from Gemini to Pisces and Virgo. Mercury began moving through Cancer’s memory field while Uranus pressed on the nodal axis, stirring sudden changes or realizations around the path forward and the habits being outgrown.

Station Window

On June 29, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer while the Full Moon in Capricorn lights up the opposite side of the sky. Cancer and Capricorn bring up the axis between private feeling and public responsibility, the place we come from and the structure we are expected to hold.

That same station window also brings Mars square the nodes and Jupiter entering Leo. Mars square the nodes can make the moment feel reactive or fated, like something is pushing at a crossroads. Jupiter entering Leo opens a fire-sign chapter right as Mercury turns back into Cancer’s water. The sky pulls us into memory while beginning to open a field of visibility and creative expression.

Early July

Mars meets Uranus in Gemini, which can bring sudden words, changes of plan, nervous-system sparks, interruptions, or realizations that come in fast. Then Neptune stations retrograde in Aries on July 7, adding another turning point to the outer-planet pattern building later in the month.

A few days after that, Venus meets the South Node in Virgo, bringing release around what has been over-managed or held together through habit. This gives the retrograde more nodal texture. It is emotional, mental, relational, bodily, and practical.

Cazimi and New Moon

Mercury Cazimi Chart

The heart of the cycle comes around July 12 to July 14, when Mercury meets the Sun at Cancer 20° and the Cancer New Moon follows near the same part of the sign. This looks like the center of the story. Whatever began stirring in the shadow may become clearer here, especially around the emotional language underneath the surface.

Cradle Pattern

By mid-July, a Fire-Air Cradle forms between Jupiter in Leo, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius. That pattern brings a collective backdrop into the Mercury retrograde story. Cancer pulls us inward toward memory and protection, while the Fire-Air sky opens movement around identity, communication, creativity, community, and future direction.

After Mercury Turns Direct

Mercury stations direct on July 23 at Cancer 16°, returning to the same degree where the shadow began. The retrograde ends there, while the wider pattern keeps unfolding. Saturn stations retrograde in Aries on July 26, and the nodes shift into Aquarius and Leo around July 26/27. Even after Mercury turns direct, the sky is still changing shape around the story.

Why This Retrograde Carries Weight

It begins with Venus and Jupiter already having opened the late Cancer field, enters shadow under Uranus square the nodes, stations with a Full Moon, Mars square the nodes, and Jupiter changing signs, then moves through Mars-Uranus disruption, Neptune stationing retrograde, Venus-South Node release, the Mercury cazimi, the Cancer New Moon, and the mid-July Cradle. Mercury is the thread, but the whole sky is pulling on it.

Impact on Your Chart

Mercury Retrograde Impact Chart

This Mercury retrograde’s main tracking range is 16° to 26° Cancer.

Who May Feel This Mercury Retrograde Most

Cancer risings - Mercury retrogrades through your 1st house, so this may feel personal and tied to how you name yourself, your needs, your reactions, or your emotional reality.
Mercury-ruled years - If you are in a Gemini or Virgo profection year, this retrograde may stand out more because Mercury is carrying the year.
Cancer placements near 16° to 26° - Mercury moves back and forth over these placements directly. This can bring a review of memory, family patterns, emotional language, protection, belonging, or something that has been living closer to the body than the mind.
Cardinal placements near 16° to 26° - Planets or angles in Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra may feel the retrograde most directly. Cancer receives Mercury, Capricorn receives the opposition, while Aries and Libra receive the squares.
Water placements near 16° to 26° - Planets or angles in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces may feel this through the water signs. Cancer receives Mercury directly, while Scorpio and Pisces receive trines that may make the review more emotional or easier to follow inward.
Taurus and Virgo placements near 16° to 26° - Planets or angles in Taurus or Virgo may feel this through practical or relational adjustments. Taurus and Virgo receive sextiles.
Placements near 20° to 22° of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra - This range may stand out around the Mercury cazimi on July 12 and the Cancer New Moon on July 14. This looks like the center of the retrograde story.

When Mercury entered Cancer on June 1, I started the Daily Arcwalker Almanac.

That timing feels important now. Mercury entered Cancer in my 12th house, and I began a daily writing practice that had to be built partly behind the scenes. I had about a week of Almanacs written in advance, so the structure was working. I would prepare the main sections ahead of time, then finish the Walking With section on the day itself, once I could see how the sky was showing up in real life.

At first, I loved doing it. The Almanac gave me a way to keep daily contact with the sky, the subreddit, and my own chart. Mercury in Cancer was moving through my 12th house, while opposing my Capricorn 6th house planets, so the practice itself became a 12th/6th house story. The hidden room of preparation was speaking to the daily work, routine, health, chart tracking, and writing system.

The first stretch already showed that clearly. Mercury in Cancer opposed my Mars and North Node in Capricorn, then opposed my Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury in the same 6th house area. During that time, the Almanac was becoming a living system. I was writing ahead, checking charts, reopening Arcwalks, watching the community field wake up again, and trying to figure out how to hold the work in a way my body could actually keep doing.

Content note: beloved pet loss

On June 15, one of my dogs had to be put to sleep. You can read more about that in the Walking With section here: [link]

I hate that this became part of the story, but I can see it written clearly in the sky. Mercury’s pre-shadow was moving through my 12th house and opposing my 6th house planets, while Uranus was still separating from its square to the nodes. The 12th house held the grief and retreat. The 6th house held the daily care, health, pets, and routines. The 11th house held the Almanac and the community space. The 8th house held the loss. It all landed in the same field.

After that, I still had about a week of Almanacs ready to post. I was able to keep going for a little while because the structure had already been built. But once those prepared posts caught up with me around June 22, I stopped. The part I had been doing ahead of time was gone, and I did not have the same capacity to rebuild the full version while grieving.

This is where Mercury retrograde makes its entrance.

Starting tomorrow, I plan to bring the Daily Almanac back in a much shorter form. I am using this Mercury retrograde window to revise the format instead of trying to force the old version to keep working. That feels like a good use of Mercury retrograde: seeing where the system broke down and rebuilding it in a way that can last longer.

For me, this is happening through Mercury in Cancer in my 12th house, opposite my Capricorn 6th house planets. I am trying to find a better rest-work pattern. I want the Almanacs to continue, but I also need them to fit inside real life, grief, energy, care, and the limits of a daily practice.

By the time Mercury stations direct, I hope to have a clearer version of what the Almanac wants to become. The retrograde is giving me a chance to return to the practice, shorten the container, and see whether this new version can keep moving even when life becomes harder.

Current reply path

I had great hopes for this Arcwalk cycle, but the past couple weeks changed the pace of things more than I expected. I am sorry it has taken me longer to move through the current walks. I do still plan to post another sign-up this Friday. I should finish more before then, so I can open new slots then.

[June 22, 2026] The Arcwalker Almanac + Rising Forecasts

Notes Before We Begin

Format note: I am going without a cover photo for a bit because Reddit lets me add images inside the body of the post when I skip one. I want to try building the visuals into the Almanac itself, especially for chart examples, dispositor trees, and anything else I want to point toward more directly. I also changed the main body of the post so the day moves as one full arc instead of being broken into separate windows. Let’s see how this evolves! 🪴

TL;DR for Monday, June 22nd, 2026

The Moon stays in Libra all day, keeping the field focused on balance and shared space.
The Libra Moon opposes Neptune in Aries at 12:06 AM, so the early field may carry dream residue, projection, confusion, spiritual sensitivity, or unclear relational weather.
The Libra Moon trines Pluto in Aquarius at 1:25 AM, deepening the overnight field and connecting personal exchanges to wider group or future-facing patterns.
The Libra Moon sextiles Venus in Leo at 12:15 PM, bringing a warmer pocket for affection or social repair, making the tone of something feel more alive.
The Libra Moon opposes Saturn in Aries at 6:07 PM, bringing the main pressure point of the day around what is sustainable between people.
Mercury continues slowing toward its retrograde in Cancer on June 29, so the background story around memory, family language, emotional processing, home, and revisited conversations keeps gathering.

The Arcwalker Almanac - Monday, June 22, 2026

All day: Moon in Libra
12:06 AM: Moon in Libra opposite Neptune in Aries
1:25 AM: Moon in Libra trine Pluto in Aquarius
12:15 PM: Moon in Libra sextile Venus in Leo
6:07 PM: Moon in Libra opposite Saturn in Aries
Overnight: Moon in Libra applying to squares with Mercury and Jupiter in Cancer

The Moon stays in Libra all day, so today continues the relational field that opened with yesterday’s First Quarter Moon. The Cancer Sun is still pulling the story toward the needs of the day, while the Libra Moon keeps bringing that material into the shared room. This is a day where personal needs may have to meet the way people make space for each other.

The day begins with the Moon already carrying the overnight opposition to Neptune in Aries and trine to Pluto in Aquarius. The morning may begin with an aftertone rather than a clear event. Something may feel hard to place at first. The Libra Moon wants to understand the exchange, but Neptune in Aries can blur the direct signal, while Pluto in Aquarius pulls the feeling into a wider pattern. By morning, the day may feel like it is waking up with something already moving underneath it.

That makes the first part of the day better for letting things become readable before pushing for a final answer. A conversation, mood, message, or relational pattern may need time to show its actual shape. Libra can want the room to feel pleasant right away, but the overnight sky may have stirred something deeper than surface harmony. The morning may ask for patience with tone and timing.

By midday, the Moon reaches Venus in Leo by sextile, and this is the easiest opening in the day. The relational field gets access to warmth, beauty, affection, creativity, and a more generous way of being seen. If the morning felt murky or emotionally charged, this can help the room feel more breathable. It may be a better time for repair, presentation, connection, creative work, or anything that needs a little more heart in the delivery.

This Venus contact also helps yesterday’s First Quarter Moon story soften for a while. Cancer is still holding the personal need for safety, Libra is still asking how that need lives with other people, and Venus in Leo brings in the desire to be received warmly. The middle of the day may show where beauty or a more expressive tone can make the relational field easier to enter.

As the afternoon moves on, the Moon begins separating from Venus and applying toward Saturn. The day may grow more serious after the softer pocket. Something that felt easier at midday may still have to meet responsibility or a clearer boundary later. Libra may try to keep the exchange graceful, but Saturn in Aries asks what can actually be carried. The mood may become more contained as the day gets closer to evening.

At 6:07 PM, the Libra Moon opposes Saturn in Aries, bringing the sharper pressure point of the day. This is where the relational field may become more concrete. A limit may become visible or a responsibility may need to be named. A person may need space, restraint, directness, or a clearer sense of what belongs to them. If the Moon-Venus sextile helped something soften, the Moon-Saturn opposition may show what that softness still has to work around.

After the Moon-Saturn opposition, the evening may feel more sober or aware of what the day has been trying to show. Libra wants balance, but Saturn asks for structure underneath the balance. This can be a useful evening for understanding what is sustainable in a relationship, agreement, room, plan, or conversation. The beauty of the thing may matter, but the structure underneath it matters too.

Overnight into Tuesday, the Libra Moon begins applying toward squares with Mercury and Jupiter in Cancer, so the relational story keeps moving back toward the personal needs underneath the social exchange. Today may begin with something hard to name, open through Venus, tighten through Saturn, and then return to Cancer with a more emotional question: what is this really touching, and what still needs to be said?

Dispositor Chain

Global: 3° Moon in Libra 3rd trine 3° Uranus in Gemini 11th at 10:01 PM.

Yesterday was rough for me after we got back home from my parents’ house. The Moon had been in Virgo in my 2nd house earlier in the day, sextiling my Pluto in Scorpio in the 4th, so the body, home, family, and deeper root system were already part of the field. I think that set the ground for everything to land more deeply once the Sun entered Cancer and my 12th house.

The Sun entering Cancer feels important because the Sun is my chart ruler. When Mercury entered Cancer, starting the Almanac felt good because I was sharing my behind-the-scenes way of following the sky each day. Mercury in my 12th made sense as private tracking and writing from the back room of my own life. But once the Sun entered Cancer too, the visibility part got much more sensitive. With Mercury in Cancer, my private words were already moving through the 12th house. With my chart ruler there too, the desire to be known for this work feels pressed right up against the feeling that I am pouring myself into a private room where the work becomes harder to see.

This connects with me noticing the view-counts on these posts dropping over the past week. Each post reaches less people, making me want to stop posting these. My Capricorn 6th house placements are very aware of the work, the output, the routine, and the numbers. So when the numbers fall, that part of me starts freaking out, even though I know I would be tracking the sky every day anyway. The Venus in Leo quincunx my Mars in Capricorn also fits that tension. Venus in Leo in my 1st wants the visible creative self to feel received, while Mars in Capricorn in my 6th is watching the labor, effort, schedule, and results. The quincunx made those two parts hard to reconcile. I wanted the work to feel alive and visible, but the work-system part of me was measuring whether it was going anywhere. So I may stop these Almanacs if this 12th house trend keeps up.

The Moon squaring my natal Venus didn't help with the above either...

Then a super annoying thing happened with Gracie, our cat, and the plants I had recently repotted. The repotting itself fit the earlier Virgo Moon in my 2nd house, since I was working with the material support of my space. But I noticed the damage later, after the Moon had entered Libra and my 3rd house, around the Sun-Moon square. Gracie had eaten the tops off the plants while I was away from them, which feels like the Cancer Sun in my 12th: something happening out of sight. Then the Libra Moon in my 3rd brought it into the immediate room, where the beauty and balance of the space felt messed with. I saw the plants and cried because it landed on top of the larger 12th-house feeling of trying and trying while something feels like it slips out of sight.

Todd helped me through it, he sprayed a bitter spray on the plants and said he would keep doing that because Gracie is more his cat than mine. That brought the Libra Moon story back into relationship and shared responsibility. The Moon later trined my natal Sun in Aquarius in the 7th, so it makes sense that another person could help stabilize the emotional weather a little, even if it did not erase how upsetting the moment felt.

I also noticed the Moon was quincunx Chiron in Taurus in my 10th around that First Quarter Moon, and that adds another layer to this story. The plant moment was small in literal size, but the day itself touched the larger public-work question: why am I doing this, where is this going, am I stupid for trying, can I keep sharing something that feels so personal? That feels like the 10th house getting pulled in through a wound around visibility and faith in the path.

So the first day of Sun in Cancer has not been the best. The Mercury-in-Cancer part of the Almanac still makes sense to me as daily behind-the-scenes star tracking, but the Sun moving into the same house brought my actual self into that hidden room. I still want to keep sharing because I would be doing this work anyway, but yesterday showed how sensitive I feel when the public numbers make the private devotion feel invisible.

Today's Aspects - Moon in Libra 3rd house

Global: 4° Moon in Libra 3rd opposite 4° Neptune in Aries 9th at 12:06 AM.
Global: 5° Moon in Libra 3rd trine 5° Pluto in Aquarius 7th at 1:25 AM.
Natal: 5° Moon in Libra 3rd sextiles 5° ASC in Leo 1st at 1:31 AM.
Natal: 8° Moon in Libra 3rd trine my 8° Saturn in Aqua 7th around 7:03 AM.
Natal: 1° Sun in Cancer 12th quincunx my 1° Sun in Aquarius 7th at 8:52 AM.
Natal: 9° Moon in Libra 3rd square my 9° Mars in Capricorn 6th at 8:57 AM.
Global: 10° Moon in Libra 3rd sextile 10° Venus in Leo 1st at 12:15 PM.
Global: 13° Moon in Libra 3rd opposite 13° Saturn in Aries 9th at 6:07 PM.
Natal: 14° Moon in Libra 3rd square my 14° Uranus in Cap 6th at 6:32 PM.

Today I am sitting with the question of whether I want to keep doing the daily Almanac in this exact form. I do not think I need to decide that right away, so I am letting it steep while the Sun moves through Cancer. With my chart ruler now in my 12th house, the visibility piece feels more sensitive, and I can feel how much the numbers have been affecting me. When I watch them too closely, it becomes easy for my mind to turn the work into a verdict on whether the work is still worth doing.

One thing I did change today is the way I am thinking about the post itself. Instead of relying on a visual at the top to bring people in, I am going back toward a more internal Almanac structure. That lets me place images inside the post when they actually belong there, like a New/Full Moon chart as an example. I think I have been holding that side back because I was trying so hard to make the post more reachable from the outside. But now that that path seems limited, I want to give the Almanac more room to become what it actually wants to be from the inside.

The astrology fits the feeling. The Moon is in Libra in my 3rd house, so the day is moving through writing and the immediate feedback field. In Placidus, my Venus is intercepted in Sagittarius in the 5th house, so with the Moon in a Venus-ruled sign, it feels like the day is being filtered through a harder-to-access creative part of me. I can feel the desire to make something beautiful and generous, but I am also aware that I may not be seeing the whole picture yet. The Moon in Libra wants to read the response in the room, but my intercepted Venus makes the creative signal feel harder to trust.

The Moon’s square to my Mars in Capricorn in the 6th house also lines up. My action planet is tied to routine and the daily effort of building this, so the square makes it easier to feel like my own actions are working against me. I can tell that part of me is reading the Almanac through usefulness and whether the work is making the day better or harder. This tells me the 3rd-house Moon is pressing against the 6th-house labor system, and I am feeling the friction between sharing and sustaining.

The evening Moon-Saturn opposition does not make things lighter, especially with Saturn in Aries in my 9th house. It brings the larger belief question into the room: what am I building, what can I keep carrying, what does devotion look like when the visible response is smaller than I hoped? I am hoping the Moon’s sextile to Venus in Leo gives me a warmer pocket somewhere in the day. Right now I feel pretty low.

Week Ahead

Tuesday keeps the Moon in Libra before entering Scorpio overnight into Wednesday, moving the field from relational adjustment into deeper water. The Sun in Cancer trines the True Node in Pisces early Tuesday morning, which may help the Cancer season story connect with emotional direction, faith, surrender, and the larger current.
Wednesday brings the Moon into Scorpio. This may move the field from relationship balance into deeper emotional sorting.
Thursday brings Venus in Leo trine Saturn in Aries and the Sun in Cancer square Neptune in Aries. This can mix relational steadiness with a blurrier emotional or spiritual field.
Friday keeps the Moon in Scorpio for part of the day before the Moon enters Sagittarius in the afternoon. The Sun in Cancer quincunxes Pluto in Aquarius, which may ask the emotional field to adjust around a larger group or power dynamic.
Saturday has the Moon in Sagittarius, moving the week from deeper emotional sorting into a wider search for meaning. Mars in Taurus makes a sextile with Jupiter in Cancer. This can bring a fertile close to the week, especially where steady effort needs material support or a stronger reason to keep going.
Sunday brings Mars in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer before Mars enters Gemini. This can give the week a fertile push before the pace changes. Once Mars enters Gemini, the action field begins moving through movement and mental speed.
One background thread is Mercury slowing toward its retrograde in Cancer on June 29. We entered the pre-shadow on June 13, so the story is already gathering around emotional processing and conversations that may be revisited.

Current reply path

Yesterday ended up being a pretty low-energy day for me. I was very depressed and mostly moped around, so I did not get much work done. I explain some of it more in my Walking With section, but damn, chart ruler Sun currently in Cancer in my 12th house could be part of it. But I'm back on my Monday-meds so I'm going to try and get to a few Arcwalks today!

The Arcwalker Almanac - Sunday, June 14, 2026

Happy New Moon, Arcwalkers!

Today keeps the Moon in Gemini all day, so the field stays busy with the little pieces of information that move between people.

The day begins with the Gemini Moon sextile Saturn in Aries at 5:00 AM. This gives the early field a more structured current. Gemini gathers the words while Saturn in Aries asks what can actually be done with them. So the morning may be good for deciding which conversation needs your attention before the New Moon arrives tonight.

The Gemini New Moon is exact at 9:54 PM. This begins a new lunar cycle around the stories that are ready to begin again. Since Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, is in Cancer, the Gemini story still has feeling underneath it. A new conversation may begin because something private finally has words.

After the New Moon, the Moon is Void of Course by traditional planet-to-planet timing until it enters Cancer Monday morning. So the seed is planted tonight, but the field may feel more like it is carrying the message forward than pushing into a brand-new outward action right away.

Overnight into Monday, the Gemini Moon sextiles Chiron in Aries at 6:58 AM, shortly before the Moon enters Cancer. So the New Moon story may begin through words tonight, then reach a tender place around the right to speak from a place that still feels sore.

TL;DR for Sunday, June 14th 2026

The Moon stays in Gemini all day and remains balsamic until tonight’s New Moon, so the field may feel mentally busy while an old story finishes releasing.
The Gemini Moon sextiles Saturn in Aries at 5:00 AM, helping a plan or conversation find structure before the new cycle begins.
The Gemini New Moon is exact at 9:54 PM, opening a new lunar cycle around words, ideas, learning, posts, and how information travels.
After the New Moon, the Moon is Void of Course by traditional planet-to-planet timing until it enters Cancer Monday at 7:14 AM.
Overnight, the Gemini Moon sextiles Chiron in Aries at 6:58 AM, giving the new cycle a tender bridge between language and the courage to begin again.

Opening Field - 12:00 AM to 7:59 AM

Moon in Gemini.
Moon sextile Saturn in Aries at 5:00 AM.

The day opens with the Moon in Gemini moving toward a sextile with Saturn in Aries. Gemini wants to name, sort, compare, ask, message, write, and move around. Saturn in Aries gives that movement a stronger edge of purpose. This may help a scattered thought become something you can actually use.

Because this happens before the New Moon, the morning may also show which mental loops are finishing. There may be a conversation that has reached its end or a plan that needs one final check before the next cycle begins.

This can be a good morning for writing down what you keep circling, organizing a post, checking a list, preparing for the week, or giving language to something that felt too scattered yesterday. The field may still be mentally active, but Saturn helps the words find a frame.

Live Field - 8:00 AM to 5:59 PM

Moon in Gemini.
Moon separating from sextile with Saturn in Aries.
Moon applies toward the New Moon in Gemini tonight.

By the live field, the Moon is separating from Saturn and moving deeper into the dark Moon phase. The day may stay mentally busy, but the New Moon has not arrived yet. That can make the middle of the day feel like you are sorting the room for replies, plans, questions, and half-formed ideas.

Gemini can keep the signal moving quickly. There may be more little things to check, more comments to answer, more ideas to catch, or more pieces of information asking to be placed somewhere. Since tonight is the New Moon, the point may be to notice which thread keeps returning.

This is useful for getting the mind ready before the full new story opens. A phrase may come before the whole post, or one small message may show where a conversation wants to begin. Under this Gemini New Moon, the new cycle may start through a question that gives the rest of the story somewhere to grow.

Evening Field - 6:00 PM to 11:59 PM

Moon in Gemini.
New Moon in Gemini at 9:54 PM.
Moon Void of Course after the New Moon by traditional planet-to-planet timing.
Moon applies toward sextile with Chiron in Aries overnight.

The evening brings the Gemini New Moon at 9:54 PM. This is the seed point of the next lunar cycle. Gemini New Moons can begin through a sentence, a post, a message, a name, a question, a local plan, or a new way of explaining something.

This New Moon may ask what story is ready to begin through your mind, especially around the words you are learning to use differently. A conversation may be trying to open, or a message may be waiting for the right shape before it can move into the field. Since this is Gemini, the beginning may come through the information you choose to keep feeding and the language that starts showing you where the next story wants to grow.

Because Mercury is in Cancer, this Gemini New Moon has an emotional undertone. Gemini may speak quickly, but Cancer remembers why the words matter. So tonight may bring a new language for something that has been living in the private room for a while.

The Moon also begins applying toward a sextile with Chiron in Aries overnight. That gives the New Moon story a tender continuation. The words that begin tonight may brush against a place that is learning how to speak from a more honest edge.

Overnight Carryover - 12:00 AM to 7:59 AM Monday

Moon in Gemini and Void of Course by traditional planet-to-planet timing.
Moon sextile Chiron in Aries at 6:58 AM.
Moon enters Cancer at 7:14 AM Monday.

The overnight carryover keeps the Moon in Gemini after the New Moon, but the Moon is Void of Course by traditional planet-to-planet timing until it enters Cancer Monday morning. The mind may still be active as the new cycle begins, though this may be better for letting a new idea move around in the background than trying to force it into a finished shape.

The Gemini Moon sextiles Chiron in Aries at 6:58 AM, shortly before the Moon enters Cancer. This adds a tender but useful bridge to the New Moon story. Gemini gives language to the sore place, while Chiron in Aries touches the wound around asking directly or having the courage to stand in your own response.

This may be a moment where a sentence reaches something tender, or where a message gives language to what hurt before it had a name. A thought may help you understand why beginning again feels vulnerable, and since the Moon enters Cancer soon after, whatever words come through overnight may want a softer place to land by morning.

Chart Tracking

Today’s main tracking ranges are 13° to 14° / 24° / and 29°. I usually use an orb of about 3°, so this mainly covers placements from about 10° to 17°, 21° to 27°, and 26° to 2° of the relevant signs.

Who Feels Today’s Main Contacts Most:

Gemini risings - Anyone with Gemini on the 1st house may feel the day in their body, timing, voice, and sense of personal direction because the Moon, Sun, and then New Moon are all moving through Gemini.
Mercury-ruled years - If you are in a Gemini or Virgo profection year, this New Moon may land with sharper definition because Mercury rules the lunation from Cancer.
Gemini or Aries placements near 10° to 17° - These placements may feel the morning Moon-Saturn sextile most directly. Gemini receives the Moon, while Aries receives Saturn, so this may show up through the need to give a thought, plan, post, or conversation more structure.
Mutable placements near 21° to 27° - Planets or angles in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces close to these degrees may respond to the New Moon’s tension and movement, with Gemini receiving the conjunction and the other mutable signs receiving the harder angles.
Late Gemini or early Cancer placements, and late Aries or early Taurus placements near 26° to 2° - These placements may feel the overnight Moon-Chiron sextile most directly, especially where the act of beginning again meets the edge of a sign.

Questions

Yesterday’s post

How did the Gemini Moon conjunct Uranus show up for you?
Did Venus entering Leo change the tone around affection or being seen?
Did the Moon sextile Saturn this morning help you organize anything?
If you notice anything in the skies that I missed, feel free to bring it into the comments. I am focusing on the main transits here, though asteroids, fixed stars, dignities, bounds, declinations, and personal chart contacts can always add more detail. And I still miss things! Like lots of times! Hahaha

Profection ruler: Mercury (Gemini 11th House)
Current Solar Return ruler: Venus (Libra rising, lands in my 3rd house)

One of the first things I saw when I woke up was someone offering readings in the subreddit, and at first I was like.... what is this now? But with the Moon moving into Gemini in my 11th house, it also helped me think more clearly about how I want the community to work. I realized I am okay with people offering readings here as long as the work stays in the comments, where others can learn from it too. I don't see that happening easily, since many astrologer on reddit work through DMs, but I'm open to the teaching in the comments. The Moon trining my Aquarius Sun and Saturn in the 7th house helped me turn the social feeling into a boundary instead of keeping it as irritation.

The Gemini 11th house Moon also showed up through how much more I was talking. I was replying more and staying with the community instead of avoiding it. I also went through every Arcwalk post to make sure I have the necessary information before I start working through the list tomorrow. That felt like the Moon moving through the people-field while Mercury in Cancer in my 12th house opposed my Capricorn 6th house placements, bringing the private preparation and behind-the-scenes care into contact with the actual workbench.

My dad’s gig was something I forgot to include yesterday. My dad has played in local classic rock bands for my whole life, so Todd, my mom and I went out to see him play.

By then, the Moon was in Gemini in my 11th house, and that fit the whole setting. It was the crowd, the table, the talking, the band, the people moving around, and the little social web forming around the music.

The waitress became part of the story because she was rude about the non-alcoholic drink situation. I do not drink alcohol, long story, and she was not very helpful when we were trying to figure out what N/A options I had. I ended up getting something close to a strawberry daiquiri, and it was actually tasty once I got it, but the process of getting there made me not the happiest.

That is where my mom came into the story. My mom is a Libra Sun and a Gemini Moon, so I saw her really clearly through the transit Moon in Gemini in my 11th house. She stepped into the social field with me and tried to help me navigate the waitress and the frustration around the N/A drink not being an easy option.

This was also happening while the Moon in Gemini in my 11th house was sextiling my Leo Ascendant and Chiron, so my mom felt like part of that assist. She was in the Gemini social field with me, helping me with how visible and tender I felt in the moment, especially when something as simple as asking for an N/A drink made me feel singled out.

Today’s Aspects - Moon in Gemini 11th house

The list is focused on my natal aspects while still bringing in the global pieces where they shape the day.

Global: 13° Moon in Gem 11th sextiles 13° Saturn in Aries 9th at 5:00 AM.
Natal: 1° Venus in Leo 1st opposes 1° Sun in Aquarius 7th at 5:49 AM.
Natal: 13° Moon in Gem 11th squares 13° Jupiter in Virgo 2nd at 5:53 AM.
Natal: 14° Moon in Gem 11th quincunxes 14° Uranus in Cap 6th at 7:35 AM.
Natal: 17° Moon in Gem 11th quincunxes 17° Neptune in Cap 6th at 10:51 AM.
Natal: 17° Moon in Gem 11th quincunxes 17° Mercury in Cap 6th at 11:39 AM.
Natal: 20° Moon in Gem 11th sextile 20° MC in Aries 9th at 3:55 PM.
Natal: 22° Moon in Gemini 11th quincunxes 22° Pluto in Scorpio 4th at 7:37 PM.
Overnight: 25° Moon in Gemini 11th opposes 25° Venus in Sagittarius 5th at 12:48 AM Monday.

Today feels like the New Moon is beginning inside the Arcwalk list itself, but the bigger question may be how I keep reaching people without forgetting the rest system underneath the work.

The Moon is in Gemini in my 11th house all day, and tonight’s New Moon happens there too. This feels like a new cycle for the community side of the work. I have no major plans today outside of Sunday dinner at my parents’ house, so the open space before then feels useful for noticing what kind of rhythm this next round needs.

Venus in Leo in my 1st house opposing my Aquarius Sun in the 7th house feels important here. Venus in my 1st house brings warmth, visibility, desire, and the feeling of being seen, while my Sun in Aquarius in the 7th house meets people through the reading relationship. With Arcwalks starting again, this axis lights up the question of how I stay present with other people while still staying inside my own body.

The Moon squaring my natal Jupiter in Virgo in the 2nd house adds the body-value piece. Jupiter in Virgo is the part of me that finds meaning through careful usefulness, but the Gemini 11th house Moon can bring a lot of people, posts, and signals at once. This makes me think about how much I love waking up early to finish the Almanac, while also noticing that I almost never sleep in anymore.

The Moon quincunxing my Capricorn 6th house placements feels like the adjustment between community signal and daily labor. Gemini in the 11th house is the people-field, while Capricorn in the 6th house is the actual workbench: the method, the schedule, the chart-reading system, and the routine that makes the work usable. Today may be showing me that the new 11th house cycle also needs a stronger 12th house rest system behind it.

Mercury in Cancer rules this New Moon from my 12th house and is applying to Jupiter there, so the rest question feels like part of the forecast instead of a side note. If I want to keep reaching people through the 11th house, I may need to let the 12th house become part of the structure. Maybe one day a week the Almanac goes up later, or maybe I start building in a morning that does not begin with rushing straight into the community field.

Overnight, the Moon in Gemini in my 11th house opposes my Venus in Sagittarius in the 5th house. That feels like the community field reaching across to the old creative flame. So today may be about remembering that the work lasts longer when pleasure and rest are allowed to stay part of the cycle.

Week Ahead

Monday has the Moon entering Cancer at 7:14 AM and Venus sextile Uranus at 5:52 PM. This may open a surprising thread through affection, beauty, desire, money, or connection.
Tuesday has Venus trine Neptune at 10:40 PM, which may soften the field and bring a more imaginative or inspired current.
Wednesday has the Moon entering Leo at 7:05 AM and Venus opposing Pluto in Aquarius at 3:38 PM. This may pull desire or recognition into a deeper relational dynamic.
Friday has the Moon entering Virgo at 9:36 AM and Chiron entering Taurus at 4:20 PM. This begins a much longer collective story around healing through the body and what safety means in material life.
Next Sunday brings the Sun entering Cancer and the Summer Solstice. This moves the week from the Gemini New Moon’s language and shared signals into a Cancer season focused on the emotional roots that need more light.

[June 12 - 18] Arcwalk Sign-ups

STATUS: CLOSED - THANK YOU!

Hey Arcwalkers!

I’m opening Arcwalk sign-ups again.

It has been a little while since I used a dedicated sign-up post, and I’m bringing this container back because it helps me track requests in one place. I’ve also updated how I’m using post flairs, so please read the flair note before signing up.

What are Arcwalks?

Arcwalks are free, full written chart readings posted as comment replies. I read the chart as a structured story, looking at how placements speak to each other, where themes repeat, what is currently active, and how lived experience and timing weave together into usable insight.

You can bring any chart, any question, or no question at all. Relationship patterns, emotional processing, life direction, spiritual themes, current timing, or a general read are all welcome.

If you’re looking for predictive work or timing-specific insight, please make sure your birth data is included with the chart you post. If you prefer privacy, you can send your birth info to me via DM after signing up.

I would usually include links to example Arcwalks here, but Reddit has been giving me trouble with links today. If you want to see examples, search “Arcwalk” in the subreddit and look for posts with the Official Arcwalk flair. My reading should be posted in the comments of those threads. 🌙

Flair note

If you are specifically asking me to look at your chart, please use one of the Livvia request flairs on your chart post.

The Livvia flairs tell me, “I am asking Livvia to consider this chart.” Those are the posts I will use for Arcwalk tracking and possible Arcwalk selection.

If you use a Community flair, that tells me you are opening your question to the subreddit as a whole. I may still reply when I have room, but Community posts will stay outside the Arcwalk request list.

Choosing Community may bring more perspectives from the room. Choosing a Livvia flair helps me find your post, track your request, and know that you are asking for my eyes specifically.

How to best receive an Arcwalk

Since I am opening sign-ups right away with this post, this part mostly applies to future rounds.

Going forward, if you’re hoping to receive an Arcwalk, it helps to have your chart already posted on the subreddit using one of the Livvia request flairs. That way, when a sign-up post opens, all you have to do is comment on the sign-up thread and I can find your chart from there.

Having your chart with questions or context already up means you’re ready to go when I start filling in the list.

How to join this cycle

Post your chart first. Your chart and any context or question should be its own post on the subreddit before commenting here.
Use a Livvia flair. Please choose one of the Livvia request flairs if you want your post considered for an Arcwalk.
Comment on this thread. Once your chart post is live, come back here and say you’d like to sign up.

I add people in order. I go by comment order as much as possible. Once I reply confirming you’re on the list, you’re set.

If the cycle fills before I reach you, you are still welcome to keep your chart post up in the subreddit.

A Note on Timing

When I ran Arcwalk sign-ups last year, I usually completed around 3-8 charts a week depending on the size of the readings and what else was happening in my life.

Because of that, your Arcwalk may not be answered during the same week you sign up.

Please keep this in mind if your question is about something happening very soon, like tomorrow, this weekend, or a specific date that is already close. I can still look at timing, but Arcwalks are better suited for questions with a little more breathing room around them.

My plan is to use the weekend to organize the list and make sure I have what I need for each chart. Then I’ll spend Monday through Friday working through Arcwalks.

Current Arcwalk Cycle

Some of the Arcwalkers listed here are from chart posts I have already been working through. I originally wanted to finish all of those before opening sign-ups again, but new posts kept coming in, so the list was never really going to end. Instead of trying to keep tracking everything from scattered posts, I’m adding the current requests into this cycle so they can all live in one place.

Now that I have a separate sign-up thread to track from, I should be able to move through these more easily.

Optional email notifications

If you want to be notified by email when Arcwalk sign-ups open, you can use the Arcwalker Notifications & Interest Form.

Reddit changed its posting format today, linking things isn't working from my end. If the link does not open normally, you can copy and paste it into your browser to sign up: https://forms.gle/59az2qNa7MpNYD4W8

Emails go out when sign-ups open each Friday, unless I’ve had a slower week.

Until next sign-up,
