Though writing projects continue, there are gaps following submission of content and the return of those materials with notes and changes. So, it seems like a great time to take advantage of one of those gaps and make time for some astrologizing in between all the other scheduled commitments. Slowly, I am coming back online. Currently, I am booking clients for the second half of August. To mark the occasion, here is a flash sale, from now until 17:00 MST/PDT, Monday, 20 July 2026. Back Online Flash Sale
On your mark, get set... soon, as in 29 July, the two brightest objects in our solar system, the Sun and Jupiter, stand conjunct in Leo. Within hours, the Moon opposes from Aquarius, constituting the culmination of the lunation cycle within the full moon. The Aquarian moon fabulously supports the maximum of the dramatic grandness of the Sun and Jupiter alignment. The Moon, when in Aquariusâ turf, tends to listen best to the cadence of the different drummer. Truly, the concern for what others may think of your actions, agenda or awareness stands at minimum. What a great emotional predisposition for attaching to all of lifeâs gusto, flair, panache and flamboyant exposition of all gifts innately possessed and/or cultivated, yearning for manifestation.

Double Lobed Asteroid Torifune Image Credit & Copyright: JAXA, U. of Tokyo, Chiba Tech, Tokyo U. of Science, AIST, Paris Obs., IAC
Explanation: Why is this asteroid a double? Earlier this month the Japanese robotic spacecraft Hayabusa2 shot past asteroid 98943 Torifune and captured pictures. Although previous observations from distant Earth indicated that Torifune was oblong, Hayabusa2 found that Torifune actually has two joined lobes. With a length of about four soccer fields, this space rock frequently comes near the Earth as it orbits the Sun, although it is not a threat. Besides the two lobes, Torifune shows many large boulders, but, surprisingly, no obvious craters, likely because its surface is a pile of rubble. Like asteroid Arrokoth, it appears that each lobe formed separately before colliding and becoming stuck together. Hayabusa2 famously encountered asteroid Ryugu in 2018, and now heads for an encounter in 2031 with 1998 KY26, a smaller asteroid that rotates unusually fast and might have reservoirs of ice.

Episode 50 ends after 7 hours of lava fountaining at Kilauea
HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK (HawaiiNewsNow) - After seven hours, episode 50 of lava fountaining in Halemaʻumaʻu at the summit of Kilauea has ended.
Fountaining began at 10:10 a.m. Saturday and ended at 5:10 p.m.
Mars (energy, force, heat) opposite & Jupiter (continuity, succession (the largest number of eruption episodes that weâve seen at a Hawaiian volcano eruption in recorded history)) trine Typhon (figuration of volcanic forces, hot winds). Haumea (the big island of Hawaii, lava cooling in the sea to make land) trine Mean Node (3 pi 9'7" Rx) .
Episode 50 marks the largest number of eruption episodes at a Hawaiian volcano. âWhatâs remarkable about 50 episodes is that this is the largest number of eruption episodes that weâve seen at a Hawaiian volcano eruption in recorded history,â said David Pillips, USGS deputy scientist-in-charge. âThe most episodes that weâve seen prior to this was Puu Oo, which had 47 episodes and weâre three episodes beyond that.âÂ

Daytime Moon Meets Evening Star Image Credit & Copyright: Debra Ceravolo
Explanation: Venus is now appearing on the celestial stage as Earthâs brilliant evening star, performing with the Moon, other wandering planets, and bright stars in western skies. For evening sky gazers on June 17, the celestial beacon rose after sunset close by a young, slender, crescent Moon. But from some locations the Moon could be seen to occult or pass in front of Venus. And from a backyard observatory in southern British Columbia, Canada, the lunar occultation was played out in daylight. This stunning telescopic snapshot captured a scene in dramatically cloudy skies, following Venusâ hour long disappearance, as the evening star emerged beyond the bright lunar limb.

The Wounded Healer Returns to Taurus ~ 11 Jun 2026
The Wounded Healer Returns to Taurus ~ 11 Jun 2026, Philip Sedgwick
Feeling the angst of Chiron changing signs? Who isnât? You can immediately do something about it by clicking the links below, scheduling consultations, ordering a Galactic Report or taking on a dwarf planet/centaurian course of study. This is place to click for cosmic relief!
On 19 June, Chiron enters Taurus for an initial amble about that lasts slightly less than three months. On 17 September, the first discovered centaur retreats into Aries... that is if Aries can fathom the concept of retreat. Then, Chiron retrogrades in Aries until 14 April 2027, when Chiron steps into the Taurean green pastures for his next extended run (until 2034).

Blue moon, May 30, 2026
A blue moon refers to the presence of a second full moon in a calendar month, the third full moon in a season containing four, or a moon that appears blue due to atmospheric effects.
The calendrical meaning of "blue moon" is unconnected to the other meanings. It is often referred to as "traditional", but since no occurrences are known prior to 1937 it is better described as an invented tradition or "modern American folklore". The practice of designating the second full moon in a month as "blue" originated with amateur astronomer James Hugh Pruett in 1946. It does not come from Native American lunar tradition, as is sometimes supposed.
Explosion of Blue Origin rocket is a setback for the company and for Nasa's Moon plans.
Exploding rocket casts doubts over Nasa's Moon plans
The fireball that lit up the sky over Florida's Kennedy Space Centre last night has put a big question mark over whether Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin can deliver on a string of commitments to Nasa in its efforts to send astronauts to the lunar surface and build a Moon base.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded at about 21:00 local time during a routine test of its engines.

Young Moon and Sister Stars Image Credit & Copyright: Giorgia Hofer
Explanation: Sunlit arms of a crescent moon seem to embrace the faint lunar night side in this dramatic celestial scene from planet Earth. The single telephoto exposure tracking the sky was captured on the night of April 19, when a two day old Moon was near perigee in its elliptical orbit. On that date, the young Moon was also close on the sky to the lovely Pleiades Star Cluster. With the moonlight dimmed by clouds the Pleiades sister stars gather below the Moonâs bright crescent, seen through a faint but colorful lunar corona. The lunar night side is illuminated by earthshine, sunlight reflected from the Earth itself. The Moonâs ashen glow, also known as the âold moon in the young moonâs armsâ, tends to be brighter in the northern hemisphere spring. And for now, the Moonâs orbit takes it near the Pleiades stars each month in planet Earthâs sky, though their close conjunctions are easiest to see when the Moon is near a crescent phase.

463368 Eurytus
463368 Eurytus (Aries in the Air ~ 16 Apr 2026, Philip Sedgwick)
There's a newly named centaur orbiting about: Eurytus. This centaur was present at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia, and caused the battle (known as the Centauromachy) between the Lapiths and the Centaurs by attempting to carry off the bride. He was deemed the most violent centaur in the resultant battle in which many centaurs were killed. Eurytus was killed by Theseus. As of 1 April 2026 he stood stationary, moving direct at 17 Cancer 48. On 1 May 2026, he transits 18 Cancer 16.
