I’m home from Alaska and back LIVE for our Monday morning look at the astrology and Human Design energies shaping the week ahead!We begin with the Sun in Gate 48 — Wisdom, inviting us to draw from the deep well of experience within us, while the Earth in Gate 21 — Self-Regulation asks us to consider what is truly ours to manage, direct, and control.And the astrology seems to echo that invitation to go deeper.The Sun's opposition to Saturn in Aries sets the backdrop as the week begins. Tomorrow, Mercury meets retrograde Venus in Scorpio, potentially bringing conversations, memories, values, relationships, and unfinished stories back to the surface for another look.On Wednesday, Mars in Leo sextiles Uranus in Gemini, bringing movement, courage, fresh ideas, and perhaps a few surprises.And it all carries us toward Saturday's New Moon in Libra—a moment for renewal around relationships, balance, reciprocity, and the agreements we make with ourselves and one another.Join me LIVE as we explore the Astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys of the week ahead and discover what wisdom may be waiting for us when we're willing to go a little deeper.Living Astrology with Janet — Where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.

On Monday, we stood at the Libra Threshold and looked inward. We explored the Human Design Gates of Love, embodiment, Spirit, and what it means to cross a seasonal threshold consciously.Now we turn our attention outward.The Sun has entered Libra, the Autumn Equinox has arrived, and a new seasonal chart has been cast. In mundane astrology, an ingress chart can offer us a symbolic map of the collective landscape for the season ahead.So what does the 2026 Libra Ingress chart reveal when we cast it for the United States?In this special Wednesday edition of Living Astrology, we'll explore the major planetary patterns, house placements, tensions, and opportunities within the Equinox chart—and consider the larger story they may be describing as we move from now toward the December Solstice.This isn't about predicting exactly what will happen. It's about reading the symbolic landscape: Where is the pressure? Where is change trying to occur? What wants our attention? And what might this season be asking of us collectively?The scales have shifted. We've crossed the threshold.Now let's look at the landscape on the other side.

We have arrived at a threshold.Today is the final day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and tomorrow the Sun crosses 0° Libra, marking the Autumn Equinox and the beginning of a new season.At the same time, Human Design brings us into one of its powerful transition weeks, with the Sun moving through Gate 46—Embodiment and the Earth grounding us through Gate 25—Spirit. What does it mean to bring Spirit fully into the body as we prepare to cross from one season into another?We’ll also look at today’s Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo—a conversation between the mind and the Wise Guide that may help us see the larger story unfolding around us.Then we’ll cast the Autumn Equinox chart for the United States and explore what this seasonal threshold may reveal about the months ahead—not as prediction, but as a symbolic map of the themes entering the collective conversation.And finally, Venus returns to our table.We’ll finish our Tea With Venus series with Part 7 and the question Venus leaves with us as she continues her journey toward retrograde:**What would you choose if you truly believed you were worthy of receiving it?**Join me for Living Astrology as we stand together at the threshold between seasons—and listen for what wants to come with us into the next one.**Living Astrology with Janet — Where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.**

What happens when the conversation isn't finished?Today Mercury in Libra opposes Saturn in Aries, asking us to look carefully at the tension between what we want to say, what another person needs to hear, and the consequences of our words.Then on Saturday, Chiron retrogrades back into Aries, returning to the 29th degree—the final, potent degree of the sign—where the Healer will remain until October 12.There is something unfinished here.Before Chiron can move forward, we may be asked to revisit an old story around identity, courage, independence, belonging to ourselves, or the wounds that have shaped who we've become.And with a quieter cosmic Sunday ahead, we're going back into the underworld with Venus as we continue—and hopefully finish!—our **Tea With Venus** series.Venus is already descending through Scorpio toward her retrograde journey, inviting us beneath the surface of relationship, value, desire, reciprocity, and the invisible agreements we make with others and with ourselves.Join me for **Living Astrology — Where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.**☕ Bring your coffee or tea, and let's see what the cosmos is asking us to notice.

Something is shifting beneath the surface of our collective story.Neptune and Pluto are moving through a long, rare sextile—two of astrology’s great agents of dissolution and transformation working together as the old world changes and a new one struggles to take form.But the future isn’t simply something that happens to us.We participate in what comes next.In Wednesday’s Living Astrology, we’ll explore the Neptune–Pluto sextile through the lens of our ongoing **Architecture of the Future** conversation. What is dissolving? What is being transformed? What possibilities are beginning to emerge—and what role do our individual choices play in shaping what comes next?And then Venus joins the conversation.As Venus continues her descent through Scorpio toward her coming retrograde, **Tea With Venus** asks a deeply personal question:**What do you value enough to carry forward into the life you are becoming?**Relationships. Agreements. Desires. Self-worth. Resources. The things we have loved—and perhaps the things we have outgrown.The future may be being rewritten, but we still get to decide what we bring with us.Join me Wednesday for **Living Astrology: Where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.**

"Living Astrology - where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys." Something deeper is moving beneath the surface this week.We begin Monday with the Virgo Sun sextile Mars in Cancer, creating an opportunity to put thoughtful, practical action behind what matters to us.Then Tuesday brings a significant energetic shift. A new Human Design week begins with the Sun moving into Gate 6—Impact and the Earth grounding us through Gate 36—Turbulence. At the same time, Black Moon Lilith enters Capricorn and Venus squares Pluto, bringing questions of relationship, self-worth, power, desire, and the agreements we make with ourselves and others into sharper focus.And underneath these more personal movements is a much larger collective current.On Wednesday, retrograde Neptune in Aries forms an exact sextile with retrograde Pluto in Aquarius—an aspect that has been developing for years and speaks to the profound transformation taking place within our collective ideals, structures, dreams, and understanding of power.Join me for Living Astrology as we explore the Astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys of the week ahead—and ask what the turbulence may actually be trying to reveal.

Yesterday, the cosmos delivered an entire week’s worth of change in a single day!A new Human Design week began with the Sun in Gate 47—Mindset and the Earth in Gate 22—Surrender. Venus entered the emotional depths of Scorpio, Mercury moved into relationship-oriented Libra, Uranus turned retrograde, and a New Moon invited us to begin again in Virgo.Today gives us a moment to breathe—but the conversation is far from over.Mercury becomes the guide for the weekend, trining Pluto in Aquarius, opposing Neptune in Aries, and then trining Uranus in Gemini. What is being revealed? Which perceptions are changing? And how do we distinguish genuine insight from assumption, projection, or wishful thinking?Join me as we gather the pieces of yesterday’s cosmic download and explore the story now beginning to take shape.Welcome to Living Astrology with Janet—Where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys!

Today on Living Astrology, we’re slowing down for a special Tea With Venus conversation about love, relationships, self-worth, desire, money, and the sacred agreements we make with ourselves and one another. What is Venus bringing back into view? What patterns or questions are beginning to reappear—and how can we meet them with curiosity rather than rushing to find answers?We’ll also explore the new Human Design week beginning September 4, as the Sun enters Gate 64—Divine Transference and the Earth moves into Gate 63—Curiosity. Together, these gates invite us to sit with the fragments of the past, question what we think we know, and allow a new understanding to reveal itself in its own time.Bring your coffee or tea and join me for a spacious conversation about Venus, the stories returning for reconsideration, and the wisdom that may be gathering beneath the surface.Living Astrology with Janet—Where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.Friday at 9:00 a.m. Pacific / 12:00 p.m. ET

September doesn’t begin with a rush forward—it begins with a review.Today, Venus enters the pre-shadow of her upcoming retrograde, opening a longer conversation about relationships, self-worth, money, desire, and the agreements that shape our lives. What is already beginning to surface that we may be asked to reconsider more deeply in the weeks ahead?Meanwhile, the Sun in Human Design Gate 40—Restoration and the Earth in Gate 37—Peace complete the 40–37 Channel, highlighting the delicate balance between work and rest, giving and receiving, independence and belonging. This energy asks us to notice whether the bargains and commitments holding our families, relationships, and communities together are genuinely reciprocal.With Pluto now traveling out of bounds, the deeper forces of power, transformation, and truth may no longer remain neatly contained. What has been operating beneath the surface could become harder to ignore.And then—the heavens grow quiet. With no major new transits for three days, we are given a meaningful pause before Friday begins a new Human Design week.Join me as we explore the agreements we are carrying into September—and consider which ones are ready to be restored, renegotiated, or released.Welcome to Living Astrology with Janet—where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.

The Lunar Eclipse has passed, but its story is still unfolding.This eclipse window has arrived with profound losses, startling events, natural disasters, and the unmistakable feeling that familiar ground is shifting beneath us. Today, we’ll explore how to move through the post-eclipse landscape without rushing to explain everything, force a decision, or immediately rebuild what has been disrupted.The Mercury–Sun conjunction in Virgo now squares Uranus in Gemini—two Mercury-ruled signs—bringing sudden news, unexpected revelations, nervous-system intensity, changing plans, and potentially liberating new perspectives. What becomes visible now may ask us to think differently, speak differently, and release the mental patterns that can no longer carry us forward.On Saturday, a new Human Design week begins with the Sun in Gate 40—Restoration and the Earth in Gate 37—Peace. Together, they bring us back to the agreements beneath our relationships: the balance between giving and receiving, work and rest, responsibility and belonging.Then on Sunday, Jupiter in Leo trines Saturn in Aries, offering a stabilizing pathway forward. Vision meets structure. Creative possibility meets courageous action. Something new may be ready to grow—but this time, with stronger foundations.Join me for coffee or tea as we ask: What has the eclipse revealed, what needs time to settle, and what are we now being invited to restore?Welcome to Living Astrology with Janet—where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.

The Eclipse of Faith: Trust What Is Being RevealedThis week, a powerful Pisces Full Moon arrives as a deep partial lunar eclipse—placing the Moon and Earth in Human Design Gate 55: Faith.But first, Mercury returns home to Virgo, carrying a message from the Well-Worn Path. On Thursday, Mercury enters the heart of the Sun, bringing a moment of illumination just as the eclipse begins to unfold.What is becoming clear? What old story is losing its hold? And can we trust what is being revealed, even if we cannot yet see where it will lead?Join me as we explore the Virgo–Pisces eclipse axis through Astrology, Human Design, the Gene Keys, and the evolving story of the Sovereign Self.

What if your worth is not something you must prove—but something you are being asked to embody?On Friday, Venus in Libra, the Guardian of Self-Worth, opposes Saturn in Aries, the Master Teacher. This encounter may reveal where we have measured our value through approval, relationship, achievement, or the expectations of others—and where it is time to stand more firmly within ourselves.Then the Sun enters Virgo, inviting the Sovereign Self into the sacred landscape of Kore: the one who belongs wholly to herself. Virgo’s deeper calling is not perfection, but wholeness—the patient and discerning work of bringing our lives into alignment with what is true.On Sunday, a new Human Design week begins with the Sun in Gate 59–Sustainability and the Earth in Gate 55–Faith, while Neptune, the Mystic, enters Gate 25–Spirit.Together, these movements ask a profound question:What sustains the Sovereign Self when certainty is no longer available—and faith must become a lived experience?Join me for Living Astrology, where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.

The stars are alive with possibility this week.Venus and Mercury each enter the extraordinary planetary pattern we’ve been calling the Architecture of the Future—connecting with Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus and inviting our values, relationships, voices, and choices into the emerging story.Mars moves into Cancer, awakening the courage to protect what matters and act from a deeper sense of belonging.Then, on Wednesday, a powerful Solar Eclipse New Moon arrives at 20° Leo—an eclipse of identity, sovereignty, creativity, and wholehearted self-expression. In Human Design, the eclipse occurs in Gate 4, the Gate of Possibility, while the Earth enters Gate 49, the Catalyst.This is not merely a new beginning. It may be an interruption in the old story—a moment that reveals possibilities we could not see from within the life we have already known.Join me as we explore the astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys of a week that asks:What becomes possible when you allow the future to change you?Welcome to Living Astrology with Janet—where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.

What story are you carrying into the coming solar eclipse—and is it still capable of guiding the future you want to create?This week begins with Chiron turning retrograde in Taurus in Human Design Gate 3, the Gate of Innovation. Through the Gene Keys, Gate 3 carries us from Chaos to Innovation and ultimately Innocence. Chiron’s retrograde invites us to revisit the places where change once felt destabilizing, where life seemed to happen to us, and where the disruption itself may still hold an unrealized gift.On Tuesday, Jupiter enters Gate 33—Retelling—first joining and then replacing the Sun there. Gate 33 asks us to step back, reflect, and decide what our experiences have come to mean. Through the Gene Keys, its journey from Forgetting to Mindfulness to Revelation reminds us that retelling the past is not the same as repeating it. We can remember differently because we understand differently now.Then a new Human Design week begins with the Sun in Gate 7, Collaboration and Guidance, and the Earth in Gate 13, Narrative and the Listener. The stories we have gathered are no longer ours alone. They become the wisdom through which we listen, collaborate, and help guide what comes next.With the August 12 solar eclipse approaching, this is a week of preparation—not through prediction, but through reflection:What story are you ready to stop repeating?What meaning are you ready to reclaim?And what story will you carry into the eclipse?Welcome to Living Astrology with Janet—where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.

August arrives as an eclipse month—and the story is beginning to change.On August 12, a Solar Eclipse in Leo invites us to reconsider how we have sought recognition, expressed our creativity, and offered ourselves to the world. Then, on August 28, a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces brings us into deeper waters, illuminating what is ready to be released, surrendered, or returned to the greater whole.Between these two eclipses, August becomes a threshold: a passage between the story we have been living and the one that is quietly emerging.The month begins with a new Human Design week as the Sun enters Gate 33—Retelling—and the Earth enters Gate 19—Attunement. Gate 33 asks us to step back and gather the wisdom of what we have already experienced. Gate 19 grounds us through sensitivity, presence, and our ability to listen for what is truly needed.Perhaps we aren’t meant to rush into August demanding to know what will happen. Perhaps we are being asked to pause, listen, and recognize how the story is already changing.Join me for an overview of the astrology, Human Design, and Gene Key themes guiding us through August 2026—and the deeper conversation the cosmos is inviting us to enter.Welcome to Living Astrology with Janet—where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.
