Slow Burn, Flash Bang: The Earth Is Thick, Your Dreams Are Loud, and Capitalism Is a Scam (Still)

🪐 Today: Sun enters Taurus | Mars trine Neptune | Moon inconjunct Jupiter | Moon sesquiqadrate Uranus 🌱

This morning I made love to a strawberry. Not literally, I’m not French. But emotionally, spiritually, and with the kind of reverence usually reserved for listening to Björk albums. I stared at its tiny seeds and whispered, “I know your secrets.”

Botanically speaking, the actual strawberry fruits are the tiny specks on its red surface. The fleshy, juicy, delicious redness we enjoy isn't the fruit itself but rather a receptacle – the part of the flower that holds the ovaries, which in turn house myriad dry strawberry fruits, each containing a single seed.

Then I bit into it and immediately regretted everything. It was fucking mouldy!

Ok, I know. Mould is also nature. But have you seen The Last of Us?

This is what Sun in Taurus feels like on Day One: divine sensuality trapped in a meat suit with expired pantry items. And somewhere deep in our bones, a voice murmurs, “Slow the fuck down and check before you sensually sink your teeth into anything.”

We’ve now entered the zodiac’s velvet boudoir. Taurus season wants slow mornings, tactile joy, and answers to the question: “Does this bring me actual pleasure, or is it just another coping mechanism dressed in rose quartz?” But pleasure is complicated today. There’s still chaos in the system. Mars is trining Neptune with the intensity of a teenage poet on absinthe, ready to fight for a vision... but also slightly unsure what the vision even is. Your inner knight is charging into the mist, shirtless, glittering, confused—but determined.

Meanwhile, the Moon in Capricorn is trying to be a grown-up. She's got spreadsheets and boundaries. But she’s getting weird angles from Jupiter and Uranus, so it’s like she’s trying to have a serious meeting but the Zoom filter that makes her look like a cat, cannot be switched off (I still laugh at that one!).

You will want to spend money today. On weird things. Possibly mushrooms. Possibly a custom-made goblet. You might start a new routine. It won’t go as planned. But it might become mythic.

It’s a great day to:

🥀 Touch something soft and whisper your secrets into it
🗺️ Trust your delusions a little—they might be divine maps
🌪️ Let the plan fall apart gracefully if it’s not aligned anymore
🧁Start that weird art project you keep dreaming about. Or bake savory muffins instead of sweet ones.
🧚🏽‍♀️ Ask, “Do I even like this thing I keep chasing?”

The dream is calling. So is the dirt. You’re a cosmic creature caught between the heavens and a really good nap. Plant something. Fantasize recklessly. Get messy. Let the cracks in the structure show you where the flowers grow.

You don’t need to get it right today.
You just need to feel the shift.
And maybe… nibble a strawberry like it’s holy. Don’t spit. It’s nature. And nature is magick!

🔥♈️💪

Aries Sun & Rising

With the Sun moving into your 2nd house of values, money, and sensual pleasure, you’re being asked to slow down and notice what’s actually worth your energy. Taurus season wants you to tend to your garden—literal or metaphorical—but today’s Moon-Jupiter weirdness could tempt you into overcommitting, especially in work or communication.

Mars in your 5th house is in full show-off mode, but Neptune fogs the edges: you might feel the urge to leap into a creative or romantic gesture without knowing what the hell you’re doing.

Don’t let that stop you—just build a softer landing. Your talents are ready to earn you something real, but only if you stop chasing ten things at once. The practical move? Choose one project or desire and give it your full-bodied, sensual attention today. Bonus points if it smells nice.

♉️🌿💰

Taurus Sun & Rising

Happy solar season to you! The Sun steps into your 1st house, reactivating your identity, appearance, and how you show up in the world. After a month of Pisces-overwhelm and Aries-burnout, this is your chance to rebuild from your roots.

But the Moon in your 9th house is craving a cosmic escape—maybe a rabbit hole of conspiracy videos, or fantasizing about moving to Bali. Add in that Mars-Neptune trine activating your 4th and 12th? You’re nostalgic and visionary, but maybe too checked out to actually fold your laundry.

That’s fine for today. Just keep your feet on the earth while your mind floats. The practical advice? Begin something simple for you—a skincare ritual, a new outfit, a solo walk where you name every flower. Let this first step into Taurus season feel like slipping into your own skin again.

♊️🗣️💡

Gemini Sun & Rising

Sun enters your 12th house, the dreamy chamber of rest, endings, and what you’re not quite ready to say aloud. This kicks off a month of soul composting, whether you like it or not. Meanwhile, today’s Moon in your 8th house is digging up old fears about trust, survival, and shared resources. You might find yourself spiraling into “do I even deserve stability?” while Jupiter in your 1st house insists on keeping things cute and chaotic. It’s a battle between your persona and your psyche.

Let it clash. Something’s trying to emerge from your shadows—and Mars trining Neptune between your 3rd and 10th says the dream needs words. So here’s your practical move: journal or voice-record a confession you’ve been keeping inside. Don’t publish it—just name it. You’re building the foundation for an authentic rebrand.

🦀🏠🌙

Cancer Sun & Rising

Sun’s in your 11th house of friendships, vision, and collective futures. It’s time to reconnect with your people and your purpose, even if it’s been hard to feel like part of the group lately. But with the Moon in your 7th house of relationships awkwardly aspecting Jupiter and Uranus, some tension might be bubbling up—like you’re simultaneously craving deep connection and feeling overstimulated by human contact. Mars trine Neptune activates your 2nd and 9th: what you believe in wants to be financed.

Today’s a strange social brew: you’re magnetic, moody, and easily thrown off by flaky people or big talkers. So don’t wait for validation. Reach out to someone aligned with your real values, not just your comfort zone. Practical advice? Make one intentional connection—send that message, DM, or call to someone who inspires your growth.

🦁☀️👑

Leo Sun & Rising

The Sun steps into your 10th house of career, visibility, and public standing—cue the spotlight, but make it slow-burn. You’re building something real, but the Moon in your 6th house says you’re also drowning in to-dos or dealing with body fatigue. Mars in your 1st house is roaring like a lion, but Neptune in your 8th mists up the mirror: who are you performing for, and why? If your ambition feels aimless, that’s the fog talking.

You don’t need a 10-year plan today. Just a small move that says: “I believe in this version of me.” Your practical tip? Curate your public image—polish your LinkedIn, refresh your CV, post something that reflects your evolving truth. You don’t have to go viral—just go visible.

♍️🌿📚

Virgo Sun & Rising

Sun enters your 9th house: the realm of philosophy, travel, higher learning, and spiritual purpose. Suddenly, the micro-focus lifts and you’re craving a new context for your life. But the Moon in your 5th house of pleasure and expression is caught in a web of conflicting impulses—should you play, perform, perfect, or hide? Mars trining Neptune between your 12th and 7th is stirring dreams and delusions in your partnerships. You may feel like someone’s not quite showing their full hand—or maybe you aren’t.

Clarity will return—but not today. Today’s for curiosity, not conclusions. So here’s your practical move: study something esoteric, silly, or sacred. Watch a documentary on mushrooms. Take notes on your dreams. Sign up for that class you keep bookmarking. This season’s about expansion—and you need fuel for the fire.

♎️⚖️💖

Libra Sun & Rising

Sun slips into your 8th house—hello intimacy, transformation, sex, death, and taxes. All the juicy stuff you’d rather process with a scented candle and three disclaimers. With the Moon in your 4th house today, you might feel extra nostalgic, raw, or domestic—but Uranus and Jupiter are poking that bubble, making you question what stability really is. Mars trine Neptune between your 11th and 6th houses is urging you to build dream-aligned routines, but you might feel like collapsing instead.

The drama’s not the problem. It’s the avoidance of feeling it fully. So here’s your practical medicine: pick one private mess and begin to untangle it. Organize your finances. Deep clean a neglected corner of your home. Or initiate an honest, low-stakes chat about something vulnerable. You’re turning compost into gold.

♏️🔥🔮

Scorpio Sun & Rising

Sun moves into your 7th house of relationships, and all of a sudden your one-on-one connections feel extra significant. You’re feeling seen—or maybe too seen. With today’s Moon in your 3rd house, you’re mentally buzzing but emotionally guarded, especially as Uranus and Jupiter shake up what partnership even means to you. Mars-Neptune in your 10th and 5th houses wants you to express your dreams publicly, but you might feel insecure about how real or valid they are.

Stop editing yourself before you’ve even started. Your voice has weight. The practical step? Have one clear, intentional conversation with someone who matters. Whether it’s asking for what you need or stating what you don’t, make it real. Don’t ghost your own growth.

♐️🏹✨

Sagittarius Sun & Rising

The Sun moves into your 6th house of health, work, and daily rituals—an energy you don’t always love, since it asks you to stop flying and actually floss. But with the Moon in your 2nd house of values and money, you’re being asked: are your routines aligned with what you actually care about? Mars-Neptune trining your 9th and 4th stirs a craving for meaning and belonging—but you can’t skip the maintenance to get there.

So start romanticizing the boring stuff. Turn a chore into a charm. The practical advice? Change one daily habit in a way that serves both your body and your bigger vision. Light a candle before your emails. Stretch while waiting for water to boil. Make the mundane magic.

♑️⛰️💼

Capricorn Sun & Rising

Sun enters your 5th house of creativity, joy, romance, and weird little passions that don’t pay the bills (yet). That’s hard for your pragmatic soul, but oh so necessary. Meanwhile, the Moon is in your 1st house today, making you extra sensitive to how you’re perceived—and maybe more reactive than usual. Mars-Neptune between your 8th and 3rd is a psychic hotline: you’re picking up energies you can’t name.

Let yourself create without purpose. Just because it’s not monetizable doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful. Your practical move? Make something beautiful without posting it. Paint, sing, dance, or dress up in a way that expresses your inner moodboard. Reclaim playtime.

♒️💡✨

Aquarius Sun & Rising

Sun enters your 4th house—your private life, your home, your inner foundations. This kicks off a deeply grounding (or destabilizing) month, depending on how rooted you’ve been feeling. Today’s Moon in your 12th is dreamy but a bit disoriented—you may feel low-energy, emotional, or like you need to hermit hard. With Mars-Neptune trining your 7th and 2nd, relationship dynamics are inspiring you or draining you—or both.

You don’t need to make sense of it all now. But you do need to rest. Practical advice? Nest. Rearrange your space. Create a sanctuary corner for dreaming, weeping, or reading tarot while wrapped in twelve scarves. Home is where your nervous system sighs.

♓️🌊🌙

Pisces Sun & Rising

The Sun slides into your 3rd house of communication, local life, siblings, and your mental whirlwinds. This is your season to talk it out—but with the Moon in your 11th house getting pelted by weird aspects, social energies might feel a little off. Mars trine Neptune between your 6th and 1st says you’re trying to show up for life, but your body or confidence might not be syncing with your soul.

Honor the dissonance. You don’t need to be articulate—just real. Your practical anchor today? Write or say something honest. Not filtered. Not clever. Just raw. A blog post, a message, a voice memo to yourself. Your voice isn’t just dreamy—it’s needed.
