STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family

STAR/CHILD

STAR/CHILD is all about how astrology shapes us and all our closest relationships.

Each week, we’ll talk through the astrology of the upcoming week and what it means for us and the important relationships in our lives.

    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 iPhone and iPad apps Android app

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

    May 25

    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 iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    May 17

    Weekly Reading for May 17 - 24, 2026: Gemini season begins

    Four planets change signs in the span of about 72 hours. Mercury, Mars, Venus, the Sun: all of them, in a row, switching costumes between Sunday and Wednesday. None of this is a chill little pivot. By Thursday you will look up from whatever you were doing on Sunday and feel like someone changed the channel on your life. Different show, different cast, different lighting, different mood. You're still in your living room. Everything else is new. Key moments of the week: Sunday, May 17: Mercury enters Gemini (6:27AM)Sunday, May 17: Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (2:03PM)Sunday, May 17: Mercury conjoins Uranus in Gemini (8:09PM)Monday, May 18: Mars enters Taurus (6:26PM)Monday, May 18: Venus enters Cancer (9:05PM)Tuesday, May 19: Mercury in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries (12:04AM)Tuesday, May 19: Venus in Cancer sextile Mars in Taurus (1:36AM)Tuesday, May 19: Mercury in Gemini square North Node in Pisces (11:44AM)Tuesday, May 19: Mercury in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius (6:52PM)Wednesday, May 20: Sun enters Gemini (8:37PM)Friday, May 22: Venus in Cancer square Neptune in Aries (2:31AM)Friday, May 22: Sun conjoins Uranus in Gemini (10:26AM)Friday, May 22: Mercury in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries (2:02PM)Friday, May 22: Venus in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces (6:41PM)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)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 iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    May 11

    Weekly Reading for May 10 - 17, 2026: Mercury Cazimi and New Moon in Taurus

    This is one of the nicest weeks of the year, genuinely, and after the absolute meat grinder of Aries season — all that knives-out, white-knuckled, fighting-for-your-life chaos that had us crawling across the finish line — the sky is finally handing out a soft landing with actual room to feel it this time. The first half of the week has this quietly hopeful, things-are-possible quality to it where the narrative in your head stops sounding like a true crime podcast about your own life and starts sounding more like someone who actually likes you is doing the voiceover. Mid-week brings a moment of mental clarity where a thought you've been chewing on finally arrives in the right order, and then Saturday delivers a really lovely New Moon in Taurus that's about claiming pleasure and connection and feeling good in your body while carrying around old pain that is never fully going to leave you, because the deal isn't that you fix the wound first and then earn the right to enjoy your life — the deal is that the good stuff has to make room for the wound and the wound has to make room for the good stuff, and this week is genuinely interested in helping us live inside that arrangement instead of forever postponing it. By the time Sunday rolls around, a kind of plot-twist conversation cracks something open and starts pointing us toward what's next, which is a whole new chapter we'll be settling into for years. Key moments of the week: Sunday, May 10: Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (10:13PM)Wednesday, May 13: Mercury in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (12:43AM)Thursday, May 14: Sun conjoins Mercury in Taurus (10:24AM)Saturday, May 16: Mars conjoins Chiron in Aries (3:33PM)Saturday, May 16: New Moon in Taurus (4:00PM)Sunday, May 17: Mercury enters Gemini (6:27AM)Sunday, May 17: Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (2:03PM)Sunday, May 17: Mercury conjoins Uranus in Gemini (8:09PM)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 iPhone and iPad apps Android app

  5. Weekly Reading for May 3 - 10, 2026: Pluto retrograde starts

    May 4

    Weekly Reading for May 3 - 10, 2026: Pluto retrograde starts

    After months of astrology that has asked us to summon endurance we didn’t think we had, this week is pretty chill. Last week's Full Moon in Scorpio dragged us by the hair to the edge and made us look at every dead thing in our lives. We did that. We're tired. May has the audacity to just be...mostly fine. May and June are sneakily the most forgiving stretch of the year, which doesn’t mean it’s entirely uncomplicated (when is life ever like that) but it does mean we are less likely to feel like we’re actively on fire every minute of every day. Love that for us. Here’s what we are dealing with this week: the first half of the week feels like espresso. Motivated, pushy, weirdly certain of ourselves, a little obnoxious if we're honest. The second half drops us into something murkier that’s more about looking under our own floorboards than rearranging anyone else's furniture. Key moments of the week: Monday, May 4: Mars in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer (10:08PM)Tuesday, May 5: Mercury in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius (6:08PM)Tuesday, May 5: Mercury in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces (6:40PM)Wednesday, May 6: Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius (11:34AM)Sunday, May 10: Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (10:13PM)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 iPhone and iPad apps Android app

    Weekly Reading for April 26 - May 3, 2026: Full Moon in Scorpio + Uranus in Gemini explained

    Friday's full moon in Scorpio is going to do what full moons in Scorpio do, which is hand you a flashlight and point it at the thing you've been avoiding. This week's episode also goes deep into the big news of the moment: Uranus officially left Taurus and moved into Gemini on April 25, where it'll live until 2033. The bulk of this episode is a deep dive into what that actually means — what the last eight years of Uranus in Taurus did to our bodies, our money, our housing, our food, our work, our nervous systems, and our entire understanding of what stability even is. And then what we can expect from Uranus in Gemini, where the disruption moves from body-centered to mind-centered. Information, communication, what we believe and where we got the idea from, the group chat, the neighborhood, the local community, the story we've been telling ourselves about who we are. The last time Uranus was in Gemini we got the telegraph, then radio and television. This time around, we're already living inside the next version of that — and the next seven years are when it metabolizes through every layer of society. Then the actual week: Sunday, April 26 — A genuinely soft day. Sun sextile North Node, Venus sextile Neptune. Daydreamy, creatively inspiring, permeable in a good way. Don't sign anything.Tuesday, April 28 — Settle in cowboy. Venus trine Pluto and squaring the nodes. Something deep moving in the relationship layer, plus a friction point about whether you're actually walking toward what you said you wanted or just running the old loop with extra steps.Friday, May 1 — The full moon in Scorpio, stacked with Venus sextile Saturn and Mercury conjunct Chiron. Merciless, unflinching, and absolutely cathartic if you're willing to say the thing. Root canal energy. Worth it.Saturday, May 2 — Mercury enters Taurus. The temperature finally drops on the months-long Aries pile-up. You will be able to think a complete thought again.Plenty of theory in this one — especially around how Uranus in Gemini is going to interplay with the Aries transits and Pluto in Aquarius over the next several years — and plenty of practical guidance for getting through the week itself. Daily readings drop every day this week with the moon's movements and what each day actually feels like. See you there.

    Weekly Reading for April 19 - 26, 2026: Venus and Uranus enter Gemini

    Last week was a building collapsing in real time and this week is the morning after, where you're standing in the rubble with a coffee trying to figure out what's load-bearing and what was always going to fall. The opening days are still inside last week's blast radius — Mars and Saturn are sitting on top of each other in Aries on Sunday evening, Mercury catches up to them by Monday, and the whole brain-and-body of you is finally getting language for the thing you've been trying to articulate for months but couldn't because Mercury was wading through Pisces fog and you sounded vaguely insane every time you tried. Now the words exist. The plan develops a plan. The reality check arrives and it's actually less brutal than the version you'd been catastrophizing about at 2am — turns out the fear was bigger than the actual terrain.
