    Astro Talk: August 16th- 22nd 2026

    This week on Astro Talk, we’re coming out of eclipse intensity, but the sky isn’t exactly giving us the week off. We’ve got Mars square Neptune bringing foggy energy and energy vampires, a gorgeous Venus-Jupiter connection that could bring a little luck and opportunity, a Scorpio Moon pushing us towards a transformation we’ve been avoiding, and a Venus-Saturn reality check around relationships and where we’re giving too much. Then we finish with Virgo Season and a Capricorn Moon, giving us the cosmic kick up the arse we need to get organised and decide what we’re actually doing next. I’ll tell you exactly what to lean into, what to watch out for, and how to use the astrology of the week ahead.

    The Week That Was: Brad Pitt, Fake Pregnancies & The Usher Clone Conspiracy

    Brad Pitt’s drinking again, Usher may or may not have a clone for his concerts, Anne Hathaway is apparently faking her pregnancy and Armie Hammer has found someone willing to hire him. Just another completely normal week on the internet. Plus: Robert Pattinson’s latest career move, why celebrity conspiracy theories have officially gone too far, and the very serious issue of Julie Andrews not returning for The Princess Diaries 3. Kate and Tansy unpack The Week That Was, the stories worth talking about, the ones absolutely nobody asked for, and the PR spin you’re probably meant to believe.

    Astro Talk: August 9th - 15th 2026

    This week on Astro Talk, we’re heading towards the Leo Solar Eclipse and New Moon on 12 August. Mercury enters Leo, Mars moves into Cancer, and Venus gets tangled up with Pluto, Neptune and Uranus, bringing relationships, boundaries and desire into focus. We’re talking self-talk, old emotional pathways, confidence, creativity and the courage to be seen before you feel completely ready. Plus, Patreon members have journal prompts for every rising sign to work with the eclipse.

    Astro Talk: August 1st - 8th 2026

    August begins with a powerful invitation to heal, simplify and prepare for what's next. This week, Chiron stations retrograde, encouraging us to see our wounds as sources of wisdom rather than something to fix. The Last Quarter Moon in Taurus helps us clear physical and emotional clutter before next week's Total Solar Eclipse in Leo, while Venus enters Libra brings more harmony to our relationships and reminds us to create more beauty and balance in our lives. It's a week to slow down, let go of what you've outgrown and make space for the next chapter.

    Astro Talk: July 26th - 31st 2026

    This week is all about becoming the person your future is waiting for. Saturn begins its retrograde, inviting us to slow down and take an honest look at our habits, commitments and daily choices. Are they supporting the life you're trying to build, or keeping you anchored to the past? The Aquarius Full Moon then asks you to release an old identity and make space for what's next. We'll explore simple Full Moon rituals, Saturn retrograde practices, Abraham Hicks exercises and practical ways to work with the energy, so you leave this episode with more than just an understanding of the astrology. You'll have tools to put it into practice. If you've been wondering how to move forward, trust yourself more or create lasting change, this is the episode for you.

    Astro Talk: July 19th - 25th 2026

    This week feels like a turning point. The astrology isn't asking us to work harder. It's asking us to become the version of ourselves who belongs in the future we're trying to create. The week begins with practical momentum as Mars and Saturn help us turn ideas into action. As the Moon moves through Libra, relationships, balance and the choices we make every day come into focus. Midweek, Jupiter forms a series of powerful aspects that expand what's possible while also exposing where we've outgrown old patterns. There may be moments where you're tempted to cling to the familiar, but this week's astrology reminds us that growth rarely feels comfortable at first. We'll also explore Barbault's Basket and why this period is encouraging us to step into a new chapter rather than replay old stories. It's a week for making thoughtful decisions, trusting your long-term vision and remembering that the future isn't something that happens to you. It's something you build through the choices you make today. Inside this week's Astro Talk, we'll unpack each transit, the collective themes, how they may show up in your own life, and the practical ways you can work with the energy rather than against it.

    Astro Talk: July 12th - 18th 2026

    This week on Astro Talk, we're exploring one of the most important astrological moments of the Mercury Retrograde cycle, the Inferior Conjunction. Think of it as Mercury's New Moon, a chance to rewrite the stories you've been telling yourself about who you are and what is possible. We also dive into the Cancer New Moon, Venus square Uranus and the exciting long-term influence of Uranus sextile Neptune, looking at how these transits invite us to embrace change without losing ourselves. As always, I've included this week's worksheet and an Inferior Conjunction cheat sheet to help you work with the astrology in a practical way.

    Astro Talk: July 6th - 13th 2026

    This week invites you to slow down before you move forward. Neptune begins its five-month retrograde, asking you to separate intuition from illusion, while Mercury Retrograde reaches its powerful Inferior Conjunction, bringing fresh insights and a chance to rewrite the story you've been telling yourself. We also move through the Last Quarter Moon and prepare for the Cancer New Moon, making this the perfect time to release what no longer feels like home and plant the seeds for your next chapter. Join me as we unpack the astrology, the psychology behind the transits, and the practical ways you can work with this week's energy.
