May 2026 Forecast

May 2026 Forecast

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of talking with Brandon Alter of the Spiritual Gayz [https://www.thespiritualgayz.com/] about the month ahead! We begin the month with the Sun and Moon in opposition, reacquainting themselves with the Scorpio-Taurus axis newly vacated by the chaotic and fickle Uranus, who has finally completed his 7-year stay. You may find that this lunation feels purgative; we are expelling subtle attachments to old ways of being, ghosts of patterns, remnants of the people we used to be. This moon is about preparing a space in our lives for what is actually already here, allowing what needs to grow to take root and allowing what needs to transform to pass from one life to the next. The first week of May is spikier than the second and third. Pluto will cast his heavy rays to and fro, but stay the course, because this month has the potential to give much more than it takes. Wishing each of you nourishment and love. May 2026 acts as a portal to some of the loveliest astrology of the year, and I know that each of you will receive a special piece of it. Warmly, Christina I am currently enrolling for Journey with the Sun, a year-long container for building a living, embodied relationship with your birth chart. Together, we move with the Sun through each house and sign in your natal chart. Each journey begins in the season of your rising sign. If you’re a Taurus or Gemini rising, this is your time. You’re invited to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if it’s a fit.

April 2026 Forecast

Dear Ones, I am back after a long break with the April forecast. Brandon of the Spiritual Gayz [https://www.thespiritualgayz.com/] joined me for this conversation and, as always, their voice is a gift and a refreshing treat. We are skyrocketing headlong into the Mars+Saturn conjunction, which dominates the skies for several weeks in mid-April. Unfortunately, Mars is likely to ramp up the tension and confusion in an already challenging moment. There is no good way to talk about the times to come. I feel myself gravitating between overwhelm and defensive levity, but if April feels crushing, know that you are not alone and that May and June will bring happier skies and a much welcome reprieve from the relentless quality of 2026. On April 15, Theresa and I will hold a free community session. If you are in need of community or extra support, we would love to see you on Zoom [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9096099567]. Additionally, Inner Currents holds a meditation every Sunday morning, which is centered on offering up a special prayer and healing for the world. If you are looking for a way to offer your heart in support of all who are suffering at this time, join us at 8 AM Pacific on Sundays. You can email Theresa at contact@innercurrents.com for the Zoom link. with love, Christina www.skiesorgrace.com Get full access to Skies and Currents at skiesofgrace.substack.com/subscribe [https://skiesofgrace.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

The Saturn-Neptune Conjuction

Theresa and I are back with a new episode covering the action-packed final weeks of February 2026 Today is a big day! Saturn made his final ingress into Aries, where he joins Neptune at zero degrees until they perfect their conjunction on Friday, February 20th. As we move through this collective distortion field, realities will crumble, old dreams will die, and visions of new worlds emerge within us. I am a little under the weather tonight, so I will have to keep this message short, but I want to invite you all to join our live astrology group chat on Sunday. I will be answering questions about the upcoming solar eclipse in Aquarius on Tuesday, Feb 17th, which is sure to rule over many challenging endings and profound new beginnings. Under these skies, we may feel tempted to lose faith in the future—but it will be those of us who continue to fiercely pursue our collective possibilities who will make the most of this dramatic year ahead. With Love, Christina Additional Information: Free Community Astrology Session Sunday, Feb 15th | 5 PM PST All are welcome | Zoom in here [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9096099567] Links I promised at the end of the episode: Inner Currents Meditations and Events Schedule [https://www.innercurrents.com/calendar] Journey with the Sun Free Exploration Call [https://www.skiesofgrace.com/journey-with-the-sun] Book an Astrology Reading with Me!

2026 Year-Ahead Podcast

Happy New Year. I am back after a long pause, and very happy to share the 2026 year-ahead forecast, which I recorded with the wonderful Theresa Ulfa on January 1st. There is so much to say about the year ahead, which is sure to bring twelve months of hurricane-force beginnings and endings, but I am going to try to condense the most essential message I’d like to share about 2026 into a few imperfect words below: As we move into this new year, the gate between the watery dissolution of Pisces and rebirth by fire in the Martial territory of Aries is acutely magnetized. The feeling is one of standing on a precipice with a blindfold. The path we’ve crossed to get here has eroded behind our footsteps, and the path forward is obscured by the smoke of a still-smoldering fire. If ever there were a moment for a leap of faith, this is it. The question is who and what deserves the incredible gift, blessing, and power of your faith? (Spoiler alert: it’s you.) For some time, I’ve been internally relating to 2026–2027 as a portal to the new world. Normally, I hesitate to use this kind of hyperbolic language, but as Saturn and Neptune pass hand-in-hand through the last sign of the zodiac and into the first, it may truly feel as if the known, charted world is collapsing, like a pop-up paper diorama flattened by a tug on some great invisible cosmic pull-tab. As Neptune’s fog calls Saturn across the ocean of Pisces and meets him at the equinox gate of zero degrees of Aries, we will surrender to both welcome and unwelcome endings. And like any good apocalypse story, in the wake of this flattening, a great war is sure to be fought over whose influence and vision will lead in reshaping the world to the specifications of its new, and yet unknown, dimensions. Many people and groups will declare themselves the winner of this war, only to be dethroned in short order by a parade of relentless and short-lived usurpers. We are in for a period of long, chaotic change. Give nobody authority over your life; hold fast to your vision and to your goodness. Do what you can to build what you want to see and experience in your life and in your community. I chose for this podcast (and for the year) the image of the sword-wielding Kalki and his white horse. For those unfamiliar with the Hindu spiritual traditions, Kalki is the future Avatar of Vishnu, foretold to incarnate at the end of the Kali Yuga (the age of spiritual and material degeneration) to restore the creation and all life to a state of perfected integrity. I am not an expert on Kalki, and I am sure this prophecy is differently relevant and differently meaningful to the many sects and lineages, but from my perspective as a Western spiritual aspirant and astrologer, as I stand at the end of this precipice, what I am expecting to burst forth from this thick Neptunian haze is exactly Kalki. But I know we won’t find him in a single human or even necessarily in the world. We’ll find him inside our hearts. with love, Christina & Theresa www.skiesofgrace.com www.innercurrents.com Get full access to Skies and Currents at skiesofgrace.substack.com/subscribe [https://skiesofgrace.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

November 2025 Astrology Forecast

As I write this, Mercury is about thirty minutes from his station, and we are about to ride along for the messenger’s third and final retrograde journey of 2025. Mercury’s retrogrades always bring the potential for delays, cancellations, and communication mishaps, and, as the lovely Brandon mentions toward the end of the episode, shopping inefficiencies. (This is not the year for Black Friday deals unless you enjoy the returning-and-refunding merry-go-round.) But if we pay close attention, we can usually sense a deeper focus beneath the noise and chaos that swirl on the surface of Mercury’s retrograde cycles. This time, the messenger’s retrograde asks a pointed question: What’s been left unfinished? Perfectly positioned to dialogue with Uranus and triangulate communication between Jupiter and Saturn, Mercury’s retrograde plunges deep into strategy. We have six months to tie up loose ends in Taurus. Uranus has been working on innovating the Taurus part of our lives since 2018, and clarity strikes like lightning this month as we hone in on what still needs to be done. If this is progress we’d like to keep, it’s time to take a look at how to seal it in, make it real, and make it lasting. In the Pisces part of our lives, Saturn has been building a bridge across murky waters, and this month Mercury helps Saturn solicit the support of Jupiter in Cancer to make the last three months of Saturn’s building project count. I want to acknowledge once more what an incredible pleasure it is to talk with Brandon each month. Their insight is always rich and poetic, and if you are interested in learning more about their practice or booking a healing session, you can do that here [https://brandonalterwellness.wordpress.com/about/private-sessions-and-rates/]. LIVE COMMUNITY SESSION Theresa and I will be holding a live session tomorrow Monday, November 10th at 2PM Pacific. We’ll be discussing the Mars+Mercury conjunction and sorting through Mercury’s Retrograde. As always, this meeting is free and open to all. If you’ve been listening and hanging out on the sidelines, I highly encourage you to check out the warm and supportive community we’ve built here. I do my best to answer everyone’s questions, and Theresa leads a group meditation. We meet on Zoom [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9096099567].
