Dear friends,

Some weeks go by and are easily forgotten. This is one our grandchildren will be told about. And they’ll tell their children.

This week, America votes just days before Britain celebrates Bonfire Night, where, for the last four hundred years, the nation has burned Guy Fawkes in effigy for trying to blow up the government. “Remember, remember, the fifth of November,” goes the old rhyme, and now all these years later, another man is trying to blow up the government, only this time it’s the man on the throne who’s stacking the barrels, and he’s stacking them against the ballot box.

But this week’s vote - taking place under the same sky that hung over Guy Fawkes’ cellar in 1605, with the Sun and Mercury together in Scorpio, the sign of what’s hidden and who really holds the power - is only the beginning of a longer story. The election is the first chapter - the sky has a whole road laid out from here through to January when the next Congress is seated - and beyond - and it’s riddled with legal challenges, the threat of war, fury, danger, escalation and chaos.

The mad king is about to get angrier, and louder, as we hurtle through these next few months, past the deadline when the government’s money runs out just before Christmas, to when the party that props him up will be asked if it still wants its dear leader.

This is big, friends. These are monumental times we are living through. The coming weeks are going to be noisy, and sometimes it’ll feel like the whole house is coming down. Thankfully, the sky has given us a map, offering clues as to how the vote shakes out, who takes the reins of power, and what comes next as the light begins to fade out on the man who tried to rule America, and fades up on the people who will hold him to account.

That’s as much as I’ll say out here - the detailed map of the coming week as well as the months ahead is below, with clues as to which way the sky says the vote is leaning.

I’ve charted the whole road from the vote to the gavel: the signature of military escalation in November, whether December brings another shutdown and how it ends, what the charts of Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, AOC, JD Vance, and of course Trump say about who rises and who falls, who the sky hands the gavel to in January, and the story of 1605 that mirrors ours.

These days we are living through now will be written about in the pages of the history books, and in that story, when it’s told, we will be its heroes. The ordinary people who kept voting and kept counting, and kept holding the line - and our nerve - through all the relentless noise.

The sky says the age of kings is burning down, and the crowd holds the matches now. Join the Inner Circle, let’s hold hands, and walk through the fire together.

Dear friends,

This week, the ground beneath every throne gets a say as the Full Moon rises in Taurus - the sign of the ground we stand on, the food, the money, the home, the body - and it and the Sun both square Pluto, the planet of power, from Aquarius, the sign of the people.

The last time a Full Moon in Taurus squared Pluto from Aquarius was in 1779, more than two centuries ago, when America’s money had just become worthless, and a crowd who couldn’t afford bread was firing on the house of a man who’d signed the Declaration of Independence. The question that Moon asked then is the same one it’s asking now: who does the ground agree to hold up?

And the whole world gets asked it at once.

Five central banks set the price of money this week. Brazil votes on Sunday, with a president about to turn 81 facing the son of the man who tried to overturn his last win. Canada’s just come through two rounds of voting, with more this week. Israel votes on Tuesday, for the first time since October 7, and America is heading to the polls for the midterms. That’s a lot of ground moving at once, and some of it will feel unsteady, but the sky is very clear about which way the current runs, and we’ve got the map.

The Full Moon lands right on one Brazilian candidate’s fighting spirit, and directly opposite the other’s Sun. One of Israel’s two leading men spends the week with his words hitting a wall, while the other has the deep current of change running straight through his chart. Canada takes two separate tests from Saturn in the space of six days.

The chart lit up hardest of all this week belongs to a country that’s barely in the headlines, quietly carrying messages in the Iran war. And Putin and Xi are watching all of it, each with his own ground moving under his feet. Which man, which nation, and what comes after the count, that’s as much as I’ll say out here.

There’s a personal side too. This Moon reaches whatever each of us is standing on, and whatever we’ve been holding up out of fear. If your birthday falls in the last week or so of October or July, or between about the 20th and the 25th of January or April, you’ll feel it most, and you can find exactly where it lands in your own chart.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, then followed this Moon back to the winter of 1779, into the room where the world’s money gets decided, and through the charts lighting up most brightly this week - Brazil, Israel, Canada, Pakistan, China and Putin - to show where the ground is moving, what comes next, and how each of us can stand steady while it does.

Dear friends,

This is a peek behind the curtain at how the Letters from the New Earth are constructed, anchored in the next century of sky.

The Letters are written as missives from our descendants, a hundred years from now, thanking us for holding the line through these years, and every line of them is built on the map written in the stars. Each era the descendants describe, each turning point and each year they name, is anchored to a real movement of the planets.

Underneath the Letters sits a map of the next hundred years of astrology: every great meeting of the outer planets between now and 2126, every time a slow-moving planet changes sign, the birth charts of the nations, and wherever history allows, the last time the sky looked the same and what happened on Earth when it did. The full map runs to thousands of pages - it’s dense and layered, which is why it’s shared first in mythic form, through the Letters. It’s the architecture behind the poetry and the scaffolding behind the story.

The seventh Letter, The Future of Faith, makes the claim that the horror we’re watching right now (the cross wrapped in a flag, scripture quoted over the rubble of Gaza, the files opening on what was done to children in the care of the churches) is the last stand of the God the mind built, made in the image of our fear. And it says that the horror is surfacing so it can finally be seen, named and put down, which is a big thing to say, but it comes straight from the sky. Read on and you’ll see.

Inside, for the Inner Circle, are the inner workings of the Letter, era by era: the planets behind every turning point, when they arrive, what they mean, and what happened the last time the sky looked this way.

If you’d like to know more about the map of what lies ahead, it’s all below….

Dear friends,

Trump. Putin. Netanyahu.

Three kings, or three tyrants, depending on who you ask. Between them they seem to be behind so much of the chaos in our world right now, and the question so many of us are carrying, more than a little wearily, is what becomes of them? Will they just keep on winning?

This week the sky starts to answer.

On Saturday the Sun meets Venus, the planet of love and loyalty, right at the gate of Scorpio, the sign of everything buried. They only meet there once every eight years. The last time was late October 2018, days before America’s last midterm elections. Hours later Mercury, the planet of words and counts, stops and turns backwards too. And loyalty is exactly what holds a king up.

That turn opens the road ahead. It runs through Israel’s election next week and America’s midterms the week after that, into an end of year when all three men look bigger and louder than ever, and on into a new year when the ground beneath their thrones starts to move.

The coming months won’t be gentle, and some of what these men do will be frightening, but the sky shows a very clear shape to all of it, and it shows where the tide turns.

Two of these kings were born with the same fighting point in the sky, and in the coming weeks it lights up for both of them at once. One of them faces his most exposed weekend just days from now. And one of them governs a people about to come out of this winter changed. Which king, which turn, and what comes next for each of them, that’s as much as I’ll say out here.

And this week the map runs through Canada twice. Alberta votes on Monday on whether to begin the road out of the country, and British Columbia votes on Saturday in a snap election that’s swung hard and fast to the right, with a lot of Canadians asking when hate became an acceptable platform. I’ve read Canada’s chart for the winter ahead, and it has something steadying to say about whether the country holds. If you’re in Canada and feeling the ground move, there’s a section inside written for you.

There’s a personal side to all of this too. Saturday’s light reaches what each of us has been holding onto as well: the loyalties, roles and stories we’ve been propping up out of fear. If your birthday falls between about the 18th and the 27th of October, January, April or July, you’ll feel it most, and late October birthdays most of all.

Below, I’ve mapped the week ahead day by day, then read Canada’s chart for the two votes and the winter after them, then followed the sky through the charts of all three kings: why they look so strong right now, what’s moving beneath their thrones, the shape of the road ahead, and how each of us can walk it with the heart leading.

Dear friends,

This week the sky hands us a map of the months ahead.

On Friday, Pluto - the planet of power and everything buried underneath it - stops in the sky and turns forward in Aquarius, the sign of the crowd. It’s been walking backwards since May. The last time Pluto turned forward on this stretch of sky was October 1780, with the American Revolution in its final stretch and the French one a few years away. This time it turns eighteen days before America votes in its midterm elections, and the same questions are on everyone’s lips…..

Will the vote hold?
Will Trump accept it?
What happens if he won’t?

The sky shows a result, a refusal and a long, loud standoff, and it shows which way the current runs underneath all three. Donald Trump’s chart is about to get very loud. I’ll unpack his chart, and America’s, and lay out the shape of the upcoming election and the aftermath below. Some of what’s coming will feel dangerous, but a storm we can see coming is a storm we can walk through.

On a personal level, Pluto turning direct will have meaning for each of us as well. Since May we’ve all been quietly propping something up out of fear, and quietly deciding we’re done, and as Pluto turns forward, that decision gets to become a fact.

If your birthday falls between about the 20th and the 29th of January, April, July or October, Pluto turns right on top of you. If you were born around the turn of March into April, in the first days of August or the first days of December, Friday’s steady courage is yours to use. If you want to know what Pluto’s turn means for you and your chart, read on.

Below, I’ve mapped the week ahead day by day, then walked step by step through the road to the midterms and beyond: what Pluto’s five months underground were really doing, when and why the mad king’s chart gets loud, the dates to watch between now and January, and what to do with our own power as it comes back into the hands of the people.

Dear friends,

Some weeks the sky opens a door. This week it opens a vault.

Venus, the planet of love, has turned around and started walking backwards through Scorpio, the sign of sex, power and secrets. She does this once every eight years, always around the time America votes in its midterms. The last time was October 2018, the week a woman’s testimony and a man’s furious denial split a country in two, and Brett Kavanaugh took his seat on the Supreme Court.

Eight years on, she’s back in the same stretch of sky, and the same file is open on the table. A lawsuit against seven men from a Cornell fraternity has gone round the world in a fortnight, and the Governor of New York has just taken the case out of the local prosecutor’s hands.

This week is where it starts to move. On Wednesday, Mercury, the planet of words and testimony, meets Venus on almost the exact spot she held the day Christine Blasey Ford spoke. On Saturday, under a New Moon, Venus clashes with Mars. We’ll be riding this wave right through the election and beyond - nothing settles until Venus turns forward again mid-November.

Under this sky, what was buried comes up, and the people who buried it get asked why. Tempers run high, the crowd moves faster than the courts, and people on every side can get hurt. But we’ve seen this sky before. We know its timetable, and we know what it’s for.

There’s more in the vault than one case. This is the week of the Nobel Peace Prize and a president who badly wants it, an anniversary a nation still hasn’t answered for, and a count coming in from the biggest country in South America. What 2018 tells us happens next, and on which days….that’s as much as can be said out here. The deeper detail is kept for the Inner Circle, where there's room to hold it properly.

This week’s sky comes for each of us too. An old love, an old debt, a truth we’ve kept quiet about. If your birthday falls in the first two weeks of October, April, January or July, Saturday’s New Moon lands on you. If it falls in the last week of those months, or the first days of November or August, the clash between Venus and Mars does. I’ll unpack this more below.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day, then gone deeper into what Venus is reopening: how 2018 unfolded under this same sky, what’s different this time, the dates to watch between now and mid-November, and how to find where it lands in your own chart.

Dear friends,

Some weeks ask us to pay attention, and this one asks us to get ready. On Monday Mars walks into Leo, the sign of the crown, and on Saturday it stands face to face with Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of the people. The crown meets the crowd, and it’s a meeting the world’s seen before.

Two hundred and thirty-seven years ago this week - while Mars was heading for this same face-off the last time Pluto walked through Aquarius - the market women of Paris marched through the rain to Versailles, broke through the palace gates and hauled a king and queen out of their gilded rooms and into the hands of the crowd, and for the next twenty years, every time Mars and Pluto met across this line, another throne shook. That was the French Revolution, when those who wore crowns lost their heads. Now Pluto’s back in Aquarius, and the series has started again.

Saturday is the peak, and the story keeps rolling from there, right through America’s midterms and into round two in mid-November, and onwards for the next two decades. Every couple of years until the early 2040s, the warrior-king will be dragged back to face the crowd, and this week opens the next chapter of the cycle.

The stakes are very real - under this sky, power gets confronted and whoever has been sitting at the top suddenly has to face the people directly. Historically, that’s when the crowns dig in, and people get hurt, which is why we want to go into this week with our eyes open - we know this transit’s shape, we know where it lands and we know when it passes, and that makes all the difference to how we meet it.

The sky has already marked the charts it’s coming for. A king and a brother are locked in a fight over what was said about Diana, with a second act already on its way. A strongman sits right at the flashpoint. A nation votes on the eve of the clash. A superpower’s own people light up like nowhere else on Earth. The watchers are being watched, an AI giant has been caught somewhere it shouldn’t be, and the angry-king energy edges closer and closer to Trump’s own chart. That’s as much as I’ll say out here in the open - the detail belongs in the quieter space for those who are ready to hold it.

What’s coming lands close to home too. The same fight between crown and crowd runs through our own lives this week: the power struggle simmering at work or at home, the resentment we’ve buried, the person we’ve been handing our power to for far too long. Tempers will run hot and old things will surface, and for some of us this is the week we finally stand up and walk out of a room we’ve outgrown. If you were born in the last week or so of July, January, April or October, you’ll feel it most - I’ll show you how to know exactly where it lands in your own chart.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day, then taken a deep dive into the Mars–Pluto opposition: what it did the last time Pluto walked through Aquarius, whose charts it’s lighting up right now, and what we’re likely to see by the weekend. And because this fire reaches all the way into our own chests, I’ve unpacked how it’ll feel, how to find it in your chart, and how to hold it without getting burnt.

Dear friends,

This week, as a fiery Full Moon rises in the sky and the Sun crosses the equinox into Libra - the sign of manners and diplomacy - world leaders will gather in New York to tell the rest of the world what they think is wrong with it. It’s the United Nations General Debate - the one week of the year when the whole world sits down in the same room. Trump’s due at the podium on day one, Iran, Ukraine, Netanyahu and the Palestinian delegation around the equinox, and China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the Vatican just as the Moon turns full.

This year’s theme is restoring trust, which is a tall order seven months into a war with Iran, with the Strait of Hormuz still choked, oil over $100 a barrel, Moscow fresh from a carefully managed election, and the Epstein files still working their way up through the floorboards in Washington.

Trust is in short supply, in a world that feels like it’s on fire.

And fire’s the real theme of the week. Saturday's Full Moon is in Aries, the first of the fire signs, so the United Nations will quite literally be meeting under fire. It rises over the same part of the sky where Saturn and Neptune met for their historic conjunction in February that gave us the Genesis Reset - the seeding of a new structure, a new dream, a new world. The Full Moon shines a light on everything that seed’s been doing in the dark, so we can see what’s blooming and where all this fire’s coming from, and what it’s actually for.

Since fire and fury go hand in hand, this week the rage will be just about everywhere. It’s what we do when we’re afraid and the flames are licking at our door - we flick the flames away, usually at something or someone, which feels good in the moment, but only fans the fire. What this week asks of us, by the light of the Fire Moon, is to look at what’s beneath all the fury. There's a fear underneath everything we’re furious about, and this is the week it shows its face. And there's a part of us that knows exactly how to hold it, which has been waiting a very long time to be asked.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, with what to watch for on the world stage, how it’s likely to feel from the inside, and a mantra to carry through each day.

We’ll also explore the shape of the world blooming from the Genesis Reset, the four things the sky says we’ll see at that United Nations podium, the day to watch for a flashpoint at the Department of Justice concerning the Epstein files, the one planet nobody’s watching that matters most this week, and the oldest word we have for peace, which turns out to share a root with the only thing that’s ever been a match for fear.

Dear friends,

This week, for the first time in nine years, the exile arrives at the establishment’s door, spilling the secrets of our institutions.

Black Moon Lilith is a point in our sky that in myth represents the first woman, the one who refused an arrangement she never consented to, and was cast out and demonised so that nobody would ever listen to what she knew. This week, she enters Capricorn - the sign of the establishment: governments, corporations, courts, parties, dynasties, reputations - and stays for nine months, and to get a taste of what she’s here to do, we only need look back at what she’s done in Capricorn before.

This is the transit that delivered the Wall Street Crash in 1929, Rosa Parks’ refusal in 1955, the Watergate tapes in 1973, the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and Bernie Madoff’s two sets of books in 2009, and oversaw the downfall of Harvey Weinstein and the rise of the MeToo movement in 2018. Every nine years, on schedule, she makes the world’s buried records speak.

And she’s already begun her work. Last week, with Lilith standing at the very last degree of Sagittarius, the truth-teller’s sign - the exact place she stood when the Weinstein story broke - a researcher resigned from Anthropic and told 70 million people that the AI industry is “gambling with our lives.” Right on schedule, the lone voice has spoken, and Lilith’s nine months calling up what’s been buried starts now, and the list of who and what she’s coming for is long.

She opens, this very week, on the chart of Ghislaine Maxwell. Before October is out she’s touched Mark Zuckerberg, Stephen Miller, Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Sam Altman, OpenAI, Mossad and the Russian Federation. November and December bring Elon Musk, then Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, along with a three-way alignment between Russia, Ukraine and Britain.

The new year grinds through the institutions themselves: the FBI, the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell, Volodymyr Zelensky on his own birthday, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Les Wexner, the Democratic Party, Germany and the EU. And from April the bill arrives - Jeff Bezos, Thomas Massie, Benjamin Netanyahu, RFK Jr, Mike Johnson, Mike Lindell, the Republican Party, China and the United States’ own Pluto - with Jeffrey Epstein’s chart, the dead man’s records, struck right in the middle of it. The Epstein files run through this entire transit like a spine.

And underneath it all, the land Down Under is rocked by Lilith across a range of charts, from the Prime Minister, to the ruling Labor Party, to Australia's answer to Trump - Pauline Hanson - and her One Nation party, right down to its police force and its prosecutors - a nation-wide reckoning, top to bottom.

And Lilith’s coming for each of us too - because Capricorn claims a corner of every chart, and every one of us has at least one structure built on something unsaid. If you’re born under Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra, it’s worth a look at your chart, because Lilith would like a word, and if you were born between 1988 and 1996, this transit is generational - she crosses that whole cohort’s Capricorn planets. Below, I’ve laid out exactly who feels Lilith and when, birthday by birthday - along with the one thing worth doing before she knocks.

This week’s edition is the biggest I’ve ever written. I’ve mapped the week ahead day by day, and then the full nine months ahead: the signature Lilith left on Weinstein’s chart and how to read it, a century of her surfacing secrets, the four beats of what’s coming - with the names and the dates attached - the five stories that will carry the meaning, and exactly where she’ll knock at your own door.

Dear friends,

Twenty-five years ago this Friday, the disruption came out of a clear blue sky. This Thursday, on the eve of that anniversary, the sky’s own disruptor marks the moment with a shock of its own that will be felt across nations, by world leaders, and by each of us in our own lives.

This week starts quiet, but it finishes loud.
It’s time to brace for the incoming shock.

Uranus - the planet of lightning, revolution, and the change nobody scheduled - has been moving through Gemini, the sign of the mind, since April, and on Thursday - an anniversary of its own, marking one year since the killing of Charlie Kirk - it stands completely still and starts running backwards. A planet standing still is a planet at full volume, and Uranus running backwards is the planet of disruption turning back toward whatever it already disrupted.

Decisions get undone.
Deals collapse.
Cases that were closed get reopened.
People who were in are suddenly out.

And because it’s happening in Gemini, it comes through words and wires - a leak, a hack, an outage, a document, a resignation, a market lurching on a headline.

Then, hours later, Friday’s New Moon lands on the spot where the Sun stood over New York on the morning of September 11, 2001. The disruption in the sky, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the disruption in the sky.

The sky is very specific about who takes the shock this week. The chart it’s circling most heavily of all belongs to King Charles, and the House of Windsor. The US Justice Department also takes multiple hits - Kash Patel, Todd Blanche and even Pam Bondi all feel this one personally. The Epstein files light up across a dozen charts at once, through the one man in Congress with nothing left to lose. The shock lands inside the White House, most heavily on the chart of Melania Trump. The Treasury Secretary gets cornered. The Mayor of New York takes it the night before he stands at Ground Zero. California, Newsom, Shapiro and Ocasio-Cortez all take it, and abroad, the sky turns away from Israel and Iran for the first time in months and points instead at China, Brazil, Australia, Russia, France, Hungary, Pakistan, Cuba and Canada, whose counter-tariffs bite on Tuesday.

And the shock is coming for each of us too. If you’ve got anything in your own chart near five degrees of Gemini - or of Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces, the points the station presses on from across the sky - Thursday is yours. If you were born at the end of May, that’s your Sun right there. Most of us will feel it as weather, wired and restless and sleeping badly for no reason we can name, but some of us will feel it as an event. If you want to know how it will land in your own chart, read on - I’ve unpacked it below.

What’s coming this week is a shock that rearranges; the mind’s great filing cabinets - the law, the files, the crown, the money - turned back to the beginning and read aloud. Everything the mind buried, handed back to it to feel this time. That’s what Uranus in Gemini is for, and it’s what this week is for, sending us out of our minds, and into our hearts.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, and written the full story of the shock coming on Thursday. If you want to know what the sky is saying this week, and what lies ahead, join us in the Inner Circle.

Dear friends,

Most weeks of this loud, jangled year have been noise. Threats that evaporate, announcements that come apart minutes after they’re announced, the same story pushed through different mouths until we’re all too tired to check it.

This week is a different animal.

There are three main transits in the week ahead, and by a quirk of the sky, all three happen on the same degree, which is why the week reads like one story in three movements:

The gift.
The wall.
The ledger.

On Monday the sky delivers the only exact Jupiter–Saturn trine of 2026, and Jupiter–Saturn is the signature for things that actually get DECIDED. Whatever gets signed, founded or formalised in the next few days is going to be with us months from now, long after the news cycle has wandered off to something shinier. This is one of those rare weeks where the theatre stops and the machinery moves.

And this trine cuts both ways. A visionary can use it to find the structure that makes the dream real, and a strongman can use it to find the constitution that keeps him on the throne. The sky hands staying power to whoever is standing at the table with a pen.

So the question the entire week turns on is the one the eclipse left hanging in the air a fortnight ago: who’s holding it, and by whose consent?

I’ve run the trine against the charts of the powerful this week, and it turns out it favours multiple power players - the gift lands close to the top of the pyramid, and one of them catches it so precisely, and so personally, that whatever gets built this week his chart says he’s the one it holds up.

Then Tuesday arrives and Mars in Cancer square Saturn in Aries slams a wall in front of everybody who tried to simply FORCE it. Where Monday rewards the pen, Tuesday punishes the fist. Expect the strange sight of both in the same news cycle, a structure quietly succeeding while a strongman loudly fails.

And then the quiet third act, which might be the one that matters most. Mercury in Virgo - the ledger, the records, the receipts we’ve been watching since the eclipse - opens an ordinary-looking door to Mars on Tuesday afternoon, and paper starts to move. A filing. A subpoena. A document released the day after the stand-off. An investigation that turns from paperwork into an arrest. Whatever gets blocked at the wall finds its way onto the page by Tuesday night, and ledgers, once opened, stay open.

Order, then rage, then receipts. If we feel tossed around by it, that’s the week working exactly as designed.

Under a microscope, this is going to look like a week where the people imposing power from above are winning. Look through the telescope instead and Pluto is sitting underneath every one of those expanding states, taking the foundations apart while the surface gets grander. Empires build their grandest walls last. The sky uses whoever's standing closest to the wrecking ball, and the men who look untouchable this week are standing closer to it than anyone.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, and written the full story of the three transits - the charts of the men catching the gift and hitting the wall, what's likely to be signed, what's likely to break, and why a week that looks like the wrong people prevailing is the sky doing precisely what it came to do.

Dear friends,

Friday brings a lunar eclipse in Pisces, and it’s the last one we’ll see in that sign for years to come. That alone would be worth our attention, but there’s something much bigger happening underneath it - the Node just walked out of Pisces last Tuesday, and an eclipse landing right as the Node leaves a sign is like the sky closing a final chapter before beginning a brand new book.

The book we’ve been living in opened in January 2025, days before Trump’s inauguration, when the Node first arrived in Pisces and the shared story went underwater. Eighteen months of fog, where information arrived faster than anyone could verify it and truth and rumour tangled together until the sorting became exhausting. Four lunar eclipses have charted that story - Virgo, Pisces, Virgo, and now Pisces again, the ledger and the ocean taking turns - and when you lay the first three out beside the news of their weeks, three very clear lessons come out of them. I’ve written all of it up this week, because I think those are the lessons of the whole era, and Friday is our chance to close the book on them properly.

Because a new one opens immediately. The Node has moved into Aquarius with the South Node into Leo - the sign of the many facing the sign of the king - so for the next eighteen months every single eclipse falls on the axis of collective will against personal rule. If the Book of Fog asked us what’s real, then the one that’s opening now asks us who decides, and in the very week it opens, the Node crosses Donald Trump’s Ascendant–Descendant axis exactly, laying the collective compass right along his horizon, with the release point on the crown and the growth edge on the crowd.

There’s far more to this eclipse than just his chart, though. This is a sky determined to rupture the charts of the powerful. The eclipse strikes the charts of former Prince Andrew and King Charles as well as a whole roll call of names once associated with Jeffrey Epstein. American lawmakers and the people who run law enforcement light up hard, as does the Vatican, California, Canada, Iran and Russia. I’ve laid it all out in detail below.

And beyond what’s happening on the world stage, there’s the other half of it too - the fog we’ve been living through was personal as well. Something in each of our lives has dissolved since January 2025, a certainty or a plan or a role or a story about ourselves that stopped holding water, and this week is our chance to name it and let the tide carry it out. This eclipse is the last of the Pisces water moving through, and our only task is to feel rather than flee.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, and written the full story of the book that’s closing - the three chapters, the three lessons, every chart the eclipse lands on, and what the new book is about to ask of each of us.

Dear friends,

Last week’s eclipse put the lights out on the king’s frequency - the era of power concentrated at the top, wielded as spectacle, channelled through one very large personality at the apex of the pyramid. This week, the sky picks up where it left off and asks us to consider that if that model of power is ending, then what’s rising in its place.

The answer, unequivocally, according to the sky, is a hive. Power spread horizontally across a field of equals, with no one above or below. That’s where Pluto in Aquarius has been heading for years now, and this week the sky brings it right up close and personal.

Saturday is the week’s real centre of gravity, when the Sun looks across the sky at the Nodes, like the past looking across to the future, and asks itself what kind of heart will be required to build the world that comes next.

For once, it’s a quiet week sky-wise - almost completely still. But stillness has its own kind of weight, and even when we can’t see it, below the surface, something is forming: a structure of things to come, taking shape in the dark. The sky’s not asking for action this week, or for anything to be made to happen. It’s just simply asking us to be with what is, and trust the quiet.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, and offered some guidance for those of us who struggle with the stillness. Many of us yearn for forward movement, but sometimes - and this week especially - we would be wise to move at the pace of life, in rhythm with the energy flowing beneath everything, that right now is calling for still.

Dear friends,

This week, the sky goes dark as a total solar eclipse sweeps across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic, Spain, and a corner of Portugal on Wednesday - the first to touch mainland Europe this century. It lands in Leo, the sign of the king, on the same day Mercury faces Pluto across the sky: the messenger of information in direct opposition to the planet of secrets and what’s been buried beneath the surface.

This eclipse fires directly through the natal charts of the men who have defined this era of world power - Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, King Charles - landing on the exact place in each of their charts where authority lives, and where the sky is now asking what it’s cost. This is the eclipsing of an old form of power, making way for something new.

But the eclipse isn’t arriving to usher in a better king. What’s being retired is the model itself, and what comes next doesn’t come from the top - it rises from below, one person at a time, in the choices each of us makes when no one’s watching.

Because Leo is also the sign of the heart, and there’s a question inside this eclipse about which version of the heart we’ve each been living - the one that performs, or the one that simply is.

Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, and I’ve gone deep into the eclipse and the five charts it’s most directly activating, and followed the thread to the lunar eclipse in Pisces at the end of the month, and all the way to where this year’s question meets its answer, over the Nile, next August.

Dear friends,

This week, our feeds will do that thing they do every August as the golden lions arrive. There will be portal announcements and breathless declarations that the 8th day of the 8th month is the moment Sirius aligns with the Sun in Leo and cosmic frequencies pour through and the number 8 amplifies everything, because the veil is thin and the gate is open and we should set our intentions accordingly.

And most of us will be sitting mid-scroll holding a question we dare not say aloud: how much of this is actually real?

I want to answer that question properly this week, because beneath the internet hype and modern construction of the Lion’s Gate lies something genuinely meaningful that goes back thousands of years, to the lions that have guarded every threshold humans have ever built - from the walls of Babylon to the temples of Egypt, where Sekhmet stood lion-headed and solar-fired, the goddess of sacred rage and purification, in stone that predates the modern calendar by millennia. Something that the modern mystics who assembled the Lion’s Gate in the 1990s were half-reaching for without quite knowing what they were reaching toward.

And this particular year, that something doesn’t just point backward into history - it points forward into a sky that is about to become extraordinary.

Because the event of this week may be the Lion’s Gate, but what arrives four days later is the real star of the show this month, when a total solar eclipse opens the Leo sky and begins a two-year sequence that ends with one of the longest eclipses in living memory drawing a line of darkness directly through the Nile Valley - through Luxor, through the Valley of the Kings, through the greatest lion landscape on Earth - at next year’s Lion’s Gate.

The sky this week is not celebrating a portal - it’s holding its breath before something significant begins.

Below, I’ve mapped the week ahead day by day - what the sky is doing on the world stage and in our own lives. And then, I’ve gone deeper into what the Lion’s Gate actually is and where it actually came from, into the ancient layer that the modern version is half-remembering without knowing why, and into the eclipse sequence that makes this particular season unlike any that has come before it, and what the lion, in every tradition that has ever carved its likeness into stone, has always known about where we are headed.

The gate this week is real - it’s just older and stranger and more alive than the hashtag. If you want to know what the sky is really saying this week - and why it’s still going to be saying it a year from now - join us in the Inner Circle below.

Dear friends,

Who would have ever suspected that the journey from the old world to the new would be so utterly exhausting?

Back at the start of the year, as we welcomed in the Genesis Reset - Saturn and Neptune’s unprecedented meeting in Aries that ignited the seed of a new world - many expected this would bring a swift end to the chaos and corruption we have seen in our world. That it would cut it off at the knees, and give rise to something better, and that we’d see it now, this year, emerging before our eyes.

What we have found instead is that we are being slowly worn down by a bombardment that never seems to pause. Protections built over lifetimes dismantled in an afternoon. The land, the animals, the elections, the wars. Another morning, another thing we love being taken apart while we watch. And underneath it, we are all asking the same exhausted question: when does this end? Does it have to be this destructive? Will it really take years to get where we’re going? Will we even get there at all?

This week, the sky answers clearly, speaking with rare clarity, and holding both halves of the truth at once, the hard one and the hopeful one, and it will not let us have either without the other.

The hopeful half is that this is a Fire Horse year, the first since the sixties, and this week the sky turns and speaks directly to that old dream. Sixty years ago, thirty thousand people put flowers in their hair and sang the Age of Aquarius into the air with a bone-deep certainty that a new world was arriving, and in the years since, many have lost hope that the vision for that world was wrong. But the only thing wrong was the timing. The seed they planted went underground and waited for the sky to be ready to hold it.

And this week that sky arrives, as the Sun dances in one day with three outer planets, then joins Jupiter to rise opposite the Full Moon in Aquarius, illuminating that the Age of Aquarius is no longer dawning - it has already dawned.

The harder half of the truth is that first light is not daytime. Dawn is the moment the dark is still almost total and only the horizon has begun to change. The light that arrives this week does not spare us what is coming - it reveals it. And what it reveals is that the demolition is not over. In many ways it is only now becoming undeniable.

As Saturn and Neptune, the two architects that rewrote the century’s code back at the Genesis Reset in February, both begin journeying backward together this week, taking a long second pass over everything that has fallen, they will ensure the next six months will feel like the first half of this year again, only louder and harder to look away from. More will break, and much of it will be things we love.

The old world will not leave quietly, and it is going to spend the months ahead crashing out in ways that are bewildering and, at times, frightening. What the sky asks us to hold is the almost unbearable both/and of it: that the new world is real and already being born, and that we must walk through the loud collapse of the old one to reach it. The garden and the rubble are the same ground. The new world grows low and quiet - in every act of care that doesn’t wait for permission, and every choice to look across at the person beside us instead of up at the leaders who failed us - while the old one crumbles all around it, falling faster than the new one can rise.

So if your body is asking you to rest, rest - we are living through a lot right now. The task of this era is not to out-shout the demolition, but to keep something tender alive inside it, and to still be standing, softened rather than hardened, when the light finally reaches the ground.

Below, I’ve mapped the week ahead day by day - what the sky is doing on the world stage and in your own life - and then gone deeper into the three movements that make it extraordinary: the Sun’s impossible three days, the architects’ long walk back over the rubble, and the Full Moon that I believe marks the first real light of a morning the sixties could only glimpse.

The old world is deafening in its falling, and the new one is so quiet we could miss it entirely, growing low to the ground, in the cracks, in the rubble. The mind looks at that terrain and calls it a wasteland, but read on dear friend, and I’ll show you why the heart - and the Fire Horse - recognises it as a garden.

Dear friends,

Last week, Barbault’s Basket began forming and this week it reaches its peak formation - four outer planets arriving simultaneously at four degrees of their respective signs, encoding new operating principles into the architecture of the coming century.

This week, something lands that is older and deeper than the Basket. Beneath the noise of the world right now - beneath the consolidation of power, the algorithmic manufacture of reality, the attention economy at its most total and most apparently permanent - a different note is sounding. Two of the slowest-moving planets in our solar system form an exact angle this Saturday for the first time in a civilisational cycle that began in 1891. It is the deepest note most of us will ever hear, and it is sounding at precisely the moment the other note - the loud one, the sound of dominance and control - reaches its peak. The loudest note and the deepest one, both in the same week.

This angle has been gathering for as long as most of us have been alive. Every one of us was born into a sky already carrying it - building in us, asking questions in us, and producing a restlessness in us that the world we’ve been handed was never designed to answer.

This Saturday it perfects, and what it is pointing toward - what the sky has been pointing toward across the whole arc of this half-millennium cycle - is what rises after the Age of the Mind. Even though the world right now feels like it’s falling apart, this week the sky offers us the promise of something we could only reach via collapse. This week, the sky answers the question of what kind of civilisation we are actually living at the edge of, and what is waiting on the other side of the age.

Below, I’ve mapped out each day of the week according to the sky - what’s happening on the world stage, what it’ll feel like personally, and the mantra to carry through each day.

Dear friends,

Last week, the July 4 lightning strike rippled through the world, with Mars carrying the Uranian rupture deep into Neptune and Pluto - the shockwave finding its hidden channels - while Neptune stationed retrograde as the collective imagination began its long inward turn, and Venus crossed into Virgo to begin the quiet work of discernment amid the disruption.

This week, something truly remarkable begins to take its shape in the sky - a configuration astrologers have been awaiting eagerly for decades. The four outer planets are about to reach 4° of their signs, and when they do they will form the shape of a basket on the zodiac wheel - a configuration known as Barbault’s Basket, named after the world famous French astrologer who saw it coming years ago. Over his storied career, Barbault correctly predicted the arrival of the 2020 pandemic, among many other events, and the alignment forming this week he called pour le plus grand bonheur de l’humanité. For the greatest happiness of humanity.

But as the basket has been forming, the question many have been asking this month is if Barbault predicted that 2026 would be a “splendid relaunch of civilisation” and “the greatest happiness of humanity” - why does it look like this? Why does the world we’re living through, with its wars and its institutional collapse and its consolidation of power into fewer and fewer hands, look nothing like a relaunch? It’s a fair question that deserves an answer, and that answer lies in a deeper reading of the original prediction, which I’ve laid out below.

I’ve also mapped what the sky is doing through each day of the week ahead, and what the road looks like from here: what the arc of the next two decades holds as this week’s basket’s encoding slowly finds its structural form. I’ve also offered some thoughts and reflections for those of us who are grieving the slowness of this journey from the old world to the new, who want to know when it starts to get better, and what we are being asked to do and to be while we wait.

Dear friends,

Last week the sky struck, as Mars met Uranus in Gemini and the Fourth Gate cracked open with force, detonating through the charts of nations and leaders, through the information systems of the world, through whatever in each of us had been held too tightly for too long.

This week, the current is moving. The Fourth Gate doesn’t open and close in a day - it spans the entire month of July, building toward something extraordinary at the end of the month, when all four outer planets converge at the same degree of their respective signs simultaneously - writing the frequency of the Age of the Heart into the architecture of the coming century.

Last week’s lightning was the door flying open.
The encoding is what walks through it.

We are between the lightning and the encoding right now - walking the gate, bedding in the new frequency, feeling the charge of the lightning move through every available channel in the world’s systems and in us.

Below, I have mapped what the sky is doing through each day of the coming week, and what the Fourth Gate is encoding planet by planet - what Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter are writing into the century’s operating system as they converge this month. I’ve also laid out what the second half of 2026 holds - the hollowing of the old world as its code is replaced beneath still-standing walls - and described what 2027 and 2008 will look like as we walk the path between worlds, from the Age of the Mind into the Age of the Heart.

If you want to understand the ground beneath your feet right now, and what lies ahead in the months and years to come - join us in the Inner Circle. The full map is laid out below.

The Fourth Gate is open. Let’s walk through it together.

Dear friends,

Last week we stood at the threshold, as the whole sky held its breath waiting for the thunder to roll in. This week, the sky raises its voice and speaks like lightning.

Some weeks go by relatively quietly, as if we’re on our way somewhere, and the sky is gently guiding us and preparing us for what lies ahead. This is not one of those weeks. This week, we’re not on the way to something - this is the thing itself. In the coming days, we arrive at what this whole year has been building toward - one of the most significant astrological events of this era.

First, the Full Moon rises in Capricorn, flooding the architecture of power with light that neither softens nor apologises, then Jupiter crosses into Leo for the first time in twelve years, and the register of the entire world shifts as the sovereign heart steps forward and demands to be seen. The Age of the Heart stops being a quiet undercurrent and walks to center stage.

And then comes Saturday, July 4 - America’s 250th birthday - as Mars meets Uranus in Gemini. Mars-Uranus conjunctions are how history lurches - the warrior and the lightning bolt. In Gemini, the domain is information: the story that breaks open, the intelligence that leaks, the system that crashes, the communication that cannot be unsaid, the truth that travels at the speed of light.

This conjunction does not strike in one place - it hits the national chart of nearly every major nation on Earth simultaneously, as well as the charts of leaders like Putin and Netanyahu, and even Jeffrey Epstein. I have mapped all the major hits - Iran, Russia, Israel, France, Japan, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, Venezuela, China, Germany, Britain, India, Pakistan, Cuba, Italy, Nigeria, Hungary, and Australia - from where the lightning lands, what it activates, and what it forces into the open. The scope of this information detonation is truly unprecedented.

And while the sky speaks loudly, the Earth is speaking in its own language. Since Chiron crossed into Taurus - the wound of the body, of the land, and of what we hold and what has been taken - we’ve seen earthquakes strike Venezuela and Japan, while Europe recorded temperatures never seen in living memory, and the Bureau of Meteorology officially declared El Niño loading in the Pacific, already pointing its long shadow toward an Australian summer. This is Chiron in Taurus, and the wound of the Earth’s body can no longer be contained, managed, or postponed.

Friends, we are standing at the threshold of a time that will be written about in the history books.

Below, I have mapped what the sky is foretelling - the Full Moon’s reckoning, the Jupiter ingress and what it opens, the Chiron teaching on what the Earth is saying and why, the global lightning survey, and the unprecedented celestial encoding that follows in mid-July that will shape the direction of the next hundred years. If you want to know what’s coming and how to walk through this week steady - join us in the Inner Circle. The map for the road ahead is all laid out for you below.

This is not a week to sleepwalk through. This is the week that everything has been pointing toward.
