STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family

Weekly Reading for June 21 - 28, 2026: Cancer season starts

June has been a generous little exhale and this is the week the exhale completes before everything detonates again. Gemini season had us mentally lit up, auditioning new ideas, talking to strangers, updating the entire internal narrative on the fly — and frankly our brains are cooked. Cancer season rolls in Sunday morning like the lights coming up at the end of a party you mostly enjoyed. The energy drops a register. Suddenly you want to be home, or at least near the people and places that don't require performance. The interesting twist is that a tired brain makes you emotionally raw, and Cancer wants you raw — feeling things instead of overthinking them, paying attention to what your body does in a room before your mind catches up. This is a clarifying week if you let the discomfort be information. The bonus: the year-long Jupiter-in-Cancer transit that's been quietly healing one beat-up corner of your life is about to wrap, so it's a good moment to look back and notice how much less dire that corner feels than it did twelve months ago. Key moments of the week: * Sunday, June 21: Sun enters Cancer (4:25AM) * Sunday, June 21: Sun in Cancer sextile Chiron in Taurus (5:47AM) * Wednesday, June 24: Sun in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces (6:13AM) * Thursday, June 25: Venus in Leo trine Saturn in Aries (8:01AM) * Thursday, June 25: Sun in Cancer square Neptune in Aries (6:38PM) * Sunday, June 28: Mars in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (12:50AM) * Sunday, June 28: Mars enters Gemini (3:29PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website [https://starchild.app/] iPhone and iPad apps [https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211] Android app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchild]

Weekly Reading for June 14 - 21, 2026: New Moon in Gemini and the start of Cancer Season

The New Moon in Gemini kicks this off with the most usable fresh-start of the year so far, and the sky around it is mostly opportunities that won't bother to chase anyone down. The second half of the week opens up a long healing project that'll be running for the next seven years. So: don't sleep on Sunday night's new moon, don't panic at Wednesday's gut-check, and don't miss Sunday morning's preview of something that's been off the menu for a while. Key moments of the week: * Monday, June 15: Venus in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini (6:52PM) * Tuesday, June 16: Venus in Leo trine Neptune in Aries (11:40PM) * Wednesday, June 17: Venus in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius (4:38PM) * Friday, June 19: Chiron enters Taurus (5:18PM) * Saturday, June 20: Uranus in Gemini square North Node in Pisces (3:50AM) * Sunday, June 21: Sun enters Cancer (4:25AM) * Sunday, June 21: Sun in Cancer sextile Chiron in Taurus (5:47AM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website [https://starchild.app/] iPhone and iPad apps [https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211] Android app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchild]

Weekly Reading for June 7 - 14, 2026: Venus conjoins Jupiter in Cancer

On paper this is a soft week. Two of the most genuinely lovely pieces of astrology in the entire year land right in the middle of it, and you'll feel them — a warmth that settles into the part of you that's about home, safety, being held, being fed, being from somewhere. And yet this same week is going to locate the one tender spot you'd half-forgotten about and lean on it, because that's apparently the deal with feeling good in 2026: it comes to collect. The center of gravity is emotional, and it's sweet — almost suspiciously sweet, the way it feels when the kids are getting along so well you start checking for blood. Underneath all that good feeling, though, there's friction, and the friction is specifically about the story you tell yourself about doing it all alone, the part of you that's allergic to needing anyone. This week the closeness and the possibility and the actual pleasure of connection go knocking right on the door of that I've-got-it-handled identity, and the two of them don't entirely get along. Key moments of the week: * Tuesday, June 9: Venus conjoins Jupiter in Cancer (3:58PM) * Wednesday, June 10: Mercury in Cancer square Saturn in Aries (1:38AM) * Saturday, June 13: Venus in Cancer square Chiron In Aries (1:23AM) * Saturday, June 13: Venus enters Leo (6:47AM) * Sunday, June 14: New Moon in Gemini (10:53PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website [https://starchild.app/] iPhone and iPad apps [https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211] Android app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchild]

Weekly Reading for May 31 - June 7, 2026: Mercury enters Cancer

2026 doesn't let up. It's been cycle after cycle turning over, things ending, things starting, the ground rearranging itself under us about once a week, and all of us trying to absorb that as the soft, finite, easily-overwhelmed water-bags we actually are. A lot of it has been genuinely thrilling. It's also been exhausting, and if you've spent part of this year horizontal on a bathroom floor recalibrating, you're in good company. June is where the year finally exhales, and this week is the first real stretch of that exhale. It opens loud and then goes nearly silent. We're coming out of a Full Moon in Sagittarius — big, candid, allergic to subtlety, chasing the next horizon like it owes us money — and that carries through the weekend and into Monday. After that, the volume drops to almost nothing and stays there. Mercury slides into Cancer on Monday, which parks our heads in the same watery corner where Venus and Jupiter have been camped for a while now: the part of the chart that runs home, family, roots, who feels safe to you, and what you need in order to feel held. Jupiter's been doing slow repair work in that spot for nearly a year, in a place that was an absolute knife fight back in late 2024. So our mental center of gravity is drifting into a part of our lives that's been healing mostly out of view. Key moments of the week: * Sunday, May 31: Full Moon in Sagittarius (4:44AM) * Monday, June 1: Mercury enters Cancer (7:56AM) * Tuesday, June 2: Sun in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries (6:48PM) * Wednesday, June 3: Mercury in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces (6:49PM) * Wednesday, June 3: Mercury in Cancer square Neptune in Aries (8:18PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website [https://starchild.app/] iPhone and iPad apps [https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211] Android app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchild]

Weekly Reading for May 24 - 31, 2026: Full Moon in Sagittarius

This week is a tale of two completely different vibes and honestly, thank god for that, because if it were just the first half on repeat for seven days we'd be unwell. We're starting the week locked in, jaw set, ready to fight whoever needs fighting. And we're ending the week stumbling out of somewhere at 1am yelling that we love our friends. Both versions of you are correct. Both versions of you are needed. The trick is just knowing which days are which. The throughline, if there is one, is that some stuff that's been sitting under the surface for a while — a power imbalance, an unfair arrangement, a creeping resentment about something that's actually yours and you've been polite about — is going to come up to be dealt with, and not in a "let's circle back about this" way. More like a "we are going to settle this today" way. The good news is you have the staying power for it. The better news is that once it's settled, the rest of the week opens up into something genuinely lovely, possibly the lightest you've felt in months. Key moments of the week: * Sunday, May 24: Mars in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces (7:51PM) * Sunday, May 24: Sun in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries (10:21PM) * Monday, May 25: Sun in Gemini square North Node in Pisces (1:07PM) * Tuesday, May 26: Mars in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius (12:02AM) * Tuesday, May 26: Sun in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius (11:52AM) * Thursday, May 28: Venus in Cancer square Saturn in Aries (11:02PM) * Sunday, May 31: Full Moon in Sagittarius (4:44AM) * Sunday, May 31: Mercury in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (8:32PM) To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store: Get started on the website [https://starchild.app/] iPhone and iPad apps [https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211] Android app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchild]
