The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

Friday - June 5, 2026

Beginning at 3:50pm ET there are a series of events unfolding that begins another layer of exposing the "wolf in sheep's clothing" that is hanging out in your world.

At 3:50pm ET the Aquarius Moon starts a 29-hour void of course period, beginning at 15°, a Libra-ruled degree that counsels you to "love yourself."

At 4:51pm ET Jupiter moves to 25° Cancer, the degree at which it began its retrograde in November 2025. That retrograde ended at 15° Cancer on March 10, 2026. Another 15° "love yourself" reminder.

And at 5:54pm ET the asteroid Juno begins its retrograde period at 11° Aquarius, ending that retrograde at 25° Capricorn on September 16th.

When I put all of these elements together, along with reviewing the Juno retrograde chart, this retrograde opens up a period where we finally start seeing the "wolf in sheep's clothing;" something that is the most loving thing we can do for ourselves right now.

This retrograde starts at 11° Aquarius. 11° is a degree that requires honesty, authenticity and being transparent, something a wolf in sheep's clothing shies away from. And in Aquarius it will certainly shine a light on that which does not belong.

And while this is more applicable to the spiritual and lightworking communities (because of the 25° influences), it will also involve business leaders, politicians, social media influencers, and thought leaders.

Please pay attention to your "gut feelings" about people where there is good reason for suspicion. Ask questions, and don't assume you have the whole story.

But you will probably see enough of the story to know this person, organization or idea doesn't belong in your world any longer.

Respect Your Emotional Intelligence

Thursday - June 4, 2026

Have you noticed that many people are you are losing their emotional sh*t, but you're doing good. We're all looking at the same chaotic stuff going on, but they're all over the place while you maintain emotional consistency.

I spoke to a client about this recently, and she even commented that she felt "guilty" that she was handling things and others around her weren't.

If you are feeling this way - guilty because you've got your emotional sh*t together - DO NOT. So say the Nodes that today will move to 2° Pisces and Virgo.

2° represents the I FEEL state of awareness, and is ruled by the Moon and Cancer. While the Nodes have traveled in Pisces and Virgo we've been asked to release a lot of sh*t in order to live by a set of higher principles.

You've done that work; others have not. This isn't a judgement to say they are bad or lazy people. It's merely to point out an energetic difference; you have a greater degree of peace because you've aligned to a higher principle, moral or ethic, or your faith. They have not, and their choice makes them unable to navigate chaos in the way you can.

The Nodes will be at 2° until June 17th. Until then give yourself credit for the emotional work you've done, and hold space for your friends, family and colleagues who are still in that process.

Mindful Love

Wednesday - June 3, 2026

Years ago during a reading I suggested to my client that she "love herself the way God Universe loves her." To say she was offended is an understatement. She proceeded to detail a myriad of reasons why she shouldn't love herself, and that God only does because he has to because he's God and he's supposed to.

People have some wild ideas about God's love. Take religion and theology out of the equation, it just makes sense that God Universe extends to all of creation a love that goes beyond how we define the word.

And it makes sense to extend that love to yourself and others.

Imagine a society without that foundation of love. Without it there would be no overcoming the indiscretions of our teen years, the arrogance of our 20s, the lack of maturity of our 30s, the failures of our 40s, and the missteps we make as we move into Eldership to our eventual death.

Today I invite you to find a place where you have refused to let love in, whether it be from God Universe or another human. This idea that you are "unworthy" in itself is an "unworthy" idea.

Loving yourself the way God Universe loves you doesn't change the past, nor does it remove the consequences of the past. But when you approach both your future AND your past with the power of love, BOTH change.

That's the power of love ... cue Huey Lewis and the News (IYKYK).

The Cosmic Coordinator

Tuesday - June 2, 2026

Today let's honor Saturn; an appropriate way to use today's sextile between the Sun in Gemini and Saturn in Aries at 12°.

When I started my study of Astrology in 2007 Saturn was the planet to teach me. One fateful night Saturn spoke, and I listened. It showed me how it operates, and how humankind can use its energies to build great things and have wildly happy lives. Its importance in your Natal Chart can't be overstated. In a Natal Chart it is the next planet I examine after your Sun and Moon.

Saturn is the fulcrum that manages how you use the energies of the other planets. It is the cosmic coordinator, administrator and manager. It helps to arrange and synchronize ENERGY. And that is the point people (and sadly most Astrologers) don't get. Saturn aligns like energies with like energies. So if you're a jerk, Saturn aligns you with jerks.

This ringed planet understands the power and the importance of the human heart and what it desires. Saturn isn't trying to ruin your life and break your heart; on the contrary. It encourages you to follow the desires of your heart, BUT ... it reminds you there is a process and a procedure that works best for you. And Saturn is not going to let you stray from the process.

There are two principles by which Saturn operates: metaphysical "laws," and the reminder that stress and fear interfere with those metaphysical laws. But people try to hack and shortcut those principles, and interfere with the very methodical way in which Saturn brings to you your hearts desires.

I could go on for hours defending Saturn, reminding you that it SERVES you when you work with it and not against it. And today I wanted to remind you this very misunderstood planet is the KEY to making things work in your life. Understand Saturn, and how it works in your chart, and you are working in partnership with a cosmic ally that is unstoppable!

The Many Shades Of How You Feel

Monday - June 1, 2026

At 7:55am ET this morning Mercury moved into the sign of Cancer, a place where it will be till August 9th, and will complete a retrograde.

This is a complicated Mercury/Cancer transit. First, Mercury enters Cancer while the Sagittarius Moon is in the middle of a very deep 36-hour void of course period. A Sagittarius Moon that had a potent opposition with the Sun in Gemini (i.e. a Full Moon) on Sunday.

But Mercury is also experiencing an Out-of-Bounds period that started on May 23rd, and will end on June 14th.

Mercury entering during a Moon VOC period means the fullness of of what a Mercury in Cancer can do is stunted, doesn't get to be fully realized, and can leave you a bit unfulfilled.

However, Mercury being in an OOB state means it is likely to go to extremes, fully expressing both the life-affirming and life-negating aspects of Mercury in Cancer.

Bottom line is that this is a time in which emotions, and your ability to engage with them can go to great heights and deep lows. Many will find the courage to speak what's on their heart, and to do so with a degree of passion. Still others may internalize those feelings, and fall into bouts of depression.

Either way, this is a period of time in which communication can be responsive and meaningful, or reactive and bombastic. Be especially vigilant when engaging with those who have hot tempers or irrational mood swings.

But more than anything, don't forget self-care, and self-compassion. See the beauty in what this transit can uncover and create, and respect that it can equally show reveal a degree of pain and sorrow as well.

High & Mighty or High-Minded??

Sunday - May 31, 2026

I purposefully waited until around Noon ET to finish this post as this Full Moon at 9° Sagittarius (which occurred at 4:45am ET Sunday morning) is rather multi-layered. I really needed some time to ponder.

Without going into too much astro detail, there is an equal amount of deep Sagittarius AND Gemini energy in the chart for this Full Moon. Appropriate given that Sag and Gemini are opposing signs, and both are represented in a Full Moon. The relationship between Gemini and Sag is that the mind must collect information and then determine how to use that information, in other words, what's the wisest way to use that info.

But the "swing" factor in this chart, the factor that makes the difference between being "high and mighty" or "high-minded" is Mars at 9° Taurus, putting it in an inconjunct with the Moon in Sag, and a semi-sextile with the Sun in Gemini.

Bottom line: this is a Full Moon that can bring out the blowviator, the blowhard, the individual who loves to boast and brag about things they know nothing about. They lean into an ego that has no self-awareness, and even less awareness about the higher principles that guide life.

But this is also a Full Moon that makes the self-aware individual really ponder about who and what they are. It opens the door to examine successes and failures, and to put things into a more life-affirming perspective.

And that's my wish for you today. That you discover things about yourself that serve you well, and that add to your high-mindedness. Lord knows we have enough of the "high and mighty" folks messing things up right now.

No Time For Your Opinion

Friday - May 29, 2026

At 8:04pm ET the Moon will start a 12+ hour void of course period, beginning at 23° Scorpio. This is a period of time in which I invite you to protect the deepest part of who you are, including your ideas.

Let me give an example. I began studying astrology in 2007, and began giving limited readings in 2012. During that time I've developed my own way of seeing the patterns in the cosmos. I have the "receipts" of people who say that how I "do" astrology has made positive impacts in their lives.

So why do I care what other astrologers might say about me or my work? Most of them are dumbasses, simply regurgitating what some astrology book or podcast says; they rarely think for themselves. Very few do I trust with interpreting my chart or the transits.

I protect myself by not worrying what they think, nor do I invest energy into publicly calling them out. That is an energy drain. I protect my ideas and perspectives in how and what I share.

You have a talent. Protect it. And during this Scorpio Moon VOC period others may be tempted to comment on your talent in order to "stir the pot."

Kick their ass out of your kitchen, and get their spoon out of YOUR pot.

Filling The Empty Space

Thursday - May 28, 2026

At 7:48pm ET the asteroid Ceres moves into Gemini. It does so on a day in which Neptune moves to 4° Aries, and there is an 11° square between Venus in Cancer and Saturn in Aries. Astrological energies that influence Ceres' approximate 90-day tour of Gemini.

Ceres, considered the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt that is situated between Mars and Jupiter, represents how you engage with the "empty" places in your life. Situations that didn't quite pan out, relationships that were "less than," times where you were "emptied out" due to some kind of loss. Ceres asks you to take loss and use it to your advantage, rather than seeing yourself as its victim. When used to its fullest, Ceres becomes this place where survival moves to thrival, and ultimately a place of strength and wisdom.

Ceres' move into Gemini marks a period of time where your mind is supporting your efforts to think, speak and communicate from a more authentic part of who you are. But BEWARE when you do that, because most people are mindless clones, and are ill-equipped to deal with original thought and genuine ideas. You WILL get push back from those who liked the old you, and would prefer not to try to understand the upgraded you.

This is the epitome of filling a space in you that has been seeking external validation for approval. A space that looked to the external, when the solution was YOU all along. And when YOU fill it, no one else can take it away lest you give it to them.

And in the days to come, when people chide you for this new You, make sure they understand that you are serious, and you are NOT joking.

Leadership Requires Relationship

Wednesday - May 27, 2026

Many of you are being called into Leadership. While it may not be formal as in your workplace or community, but many of you are ready to "stand out" as examples, ready to inspire as others watch how you respond to the world.

But leadership requires relationship. It's difficult to lead people, whether directly or indirectly, when you do not "relate" to them. Yes, you may share a cause or opinion, but relating to others takes more than that.

Today the Moon in Libra will be in a 13-hour void of course period, beginning at 7:32am ET, and with the Moon at 23°.

I invite you today to find a way to "relate" to someone (or something) that you often have difficulty with. It could be that coworker who gets on your nerves, or the neighbor that annoys you. I'm not saying you need to be besties or attend each others birthday party, but try to relate on something small.

This kind of proactivity is what deep leadership is all about. A way of stepping out of who you are in order to understand the true nature of who others are.

And trust me, people WILL notice.

[rogueastrology]

Do You Actually KNOW?

Tuesday - May 26, 2026

I admit I've done my fair share of "gossip;" so have you. How entertaining it is to speculate on how or why someone is doing what they are doing.

That is until YOU become the target of the wagging tongue, and you begin to see how dangerous, and energetically taxing it is. And it starts to make sense why religious texts from many faiths call gossipers some of the most dangerous people in the world.

The teachings from the planets today (as noted on today's graphic) invite you to speak of what you KNOW, and to be discreet (even silent) about what is still speculation or conjecture. While gossip is certainly applicable here, the greater context is to speak on what you KNOW.

If someone asks if you know why your neighbor painted their shutters blue, only say what you know.

If someone speculates on what is going on with a co-worker, discretion mandates you refrain from guessing or conjecture.

And if someone asks you to explain something (a concept or an idea) that you have limited or partial knowledge in, be authentic about it and speak only what you know.

Just imagine our world if politicians, religious leaders, thought influencers, and your nosy neighbor, would do the same.

[rogueastrology]

Did I Offend You?

Monday - May 25, 2026

We have been taught that it is rude to "offend." I certainly appreciate the need for kindness and civility when it comes to discourse. I do not wish to take my opinion and ram it down someone's throat. Nor should they be required to approve of my ideas or opinions.

But the idea of "not offending" someone has also kept many a good idea or much needed disagreement out of the public arena.

This Gemini season is a good time to understand a basic concept: being offended lies squarely on YOUR shoulders, not on the shoulders of the one speaking ideas you disagree with.

I don't get offended by ideas I find abhorrent, I debate them, find their weaknesses, counter their position.

And that is the teaching from the Cosmos today as Mars in Taurus squares the North Node at 4°, and the Sun in Gemini squares that same North Node.

You have opinions, ideas and knowledge yet have often chosen not to "offend" rather than speak. The end result is some of the garbage that is floating around out there now; nonsensical rubbish that is being accepted as "truth" because people are afraid to "offend."

Speak up, and don't be so concerned about offending. Because sometimes no matter how kind, well-versed and thorough you are in presenting your opinion, someone gonna get offended.

And as we say down here in the South ... well, bless their hearts.

Magic

Sunday - May 24, 2026

There's "stage" magic, and then there's "life" magic. Those things that happen in your life that logic and reason can't explain.

Personally, I live for those moments, and I've learned to not question how Mother Life creates those moments in my world. It requires that when delays, missteps, goof ups, or errors happen that I "go with the flow" to some degree. But the logical mind doesn't easily see a delay as an opportunity, or an error as a blessing in disguise. It requires a degree of mental proactivity on your part.

And today is a good day to start the practice of seeing "problems" as "opportunities," as the Moon in Virgo will go void of course for 13+ hours, starting at 8:54pm ET. A Virgo Moon is best suited for observation and study, but can turn into judgment and opinion if not monitored.

The opportunity to see "magic" comes in the sextile between the Sun in Gemini (the logical mind) and Neptune in Aries (Spirit in action) at 3°, a degree that asks you to examine what you believe.

I believe in magic. I believe that Mother Life operates in ways that I can observe but do not fully understand. And every time She does, I benefit ... and smile!

[rogueastrology]

Time To Observe

Saturday - May 23, 2026

I am back Stateside, and very much enjoyed my time away. While in Europe I did what today's post advises: observe.

We develop opinions based on what we observe. But we also observe thru the lens of our opinion, which can totally augment what we are seeing.

Today the Moon is in Virgo, conjuncting the South Node and have a lovely dance with other planets today. All of this happening as the Sun is now getting up to speed in Gemini.

The counsel from the planets today is to observe without opinion, to simply take in information from a neutral place. To see what you see, realizing you don't know the complete story, you don't know the back story, and that even your perception of the future is not definitive.

It takes a lot of skill to simply observe. You have to give up that you "know" what is happening. You have to even question the "facts" that are supposedly being presented to you.

Today, simply observe and let your mind be free of what you "know." Because in that place you will "learn."

Out of Town Till May 23rd

[rogueastrology]

Progress!

Saturday - May 9, 2026

It's good to be focused on a goal, to have an "end game" in mind. But it's equally as important to focus on the steps to that goal. It's a very practical observation actually. Goals, projects, dreams are all made up of individual steps, that together form an accomplishment or success.

Today as Chiron moves to 28° Aries, it is important to see your progress toward a goal or project, and to be in gratitude for accomplishments and successes. All of those combined, and over time, create the pathway toward the fulfillment of that goal.

Don't be the one who gets frustrated that things aren't happening "fast enough," or that you're not getting what's "owed you." Gratitude at every step, even when there's a setback, is one thing that will keep you going forward.

And here's a deep hard truth: you get more of what you energetically invest it. Complaining leads to things to complain about; gratitude leads to things to be gratitude for.

[rogueastrology]

The Calm Instead Of The Storm

Friday - May 8, 2026

Later today Jupiter will move to 20° Cancer. 20° is the "I feel everything" degree, and in the sign of Cancer, attached to the planet of expansion, it means we're in for a week where your emotions will need more room to "express."

Saturn moving to 10° today also invites us to be disciplined with our emotions, to realize the situations ill-placed emotions can create.

But TODAY, the Sun is at 18° Taurus. 18° is a Mars/Aries ruled degree that doesn't want to self-regulate, doesn't like filters. And the Moon is in Aquarius, a place where emotions can be detached. But a Moon in Aquarius also suffers no fools, and will just as quickly invite you to f*ck around and find out.

Today is a day that requires your emotional intelligence and self-regulation. In other words don't let your emotions get away from you.

Be especially aware of your interactions with those who work with the public such as airline gate agents, retail cashiers and clerks, those in the public sector. They'll be dealing with a lot of people who never even heard of the concept of emotional intelligence, and will be challenged to hold their own emotional tone. Be kind, especially if you need their assistance or accomodation.
