The Astrology of June 22-28, 2026 / Cancer Season and Mars in Gemini

And we're going to start to reach very clear markers in the astrology.

This leads up to a solar eclipse in August, August 12th.

that's in Leo, it's going to be at 20 degrees of Leo.

So it's just something to keep on our radar.

And when I was looking at the astrology of this week, it feels more like a, a something that prepares us for say, Jupiter going into Leo next week, Mars, even though it's this week, it's on Sunday, Mars is going to go into Gemini, we're gonna start to get more and more That air and fire in our astrological lineup as opposed to let's say the past few years was a lot of water a lot of earth Those more yin that's more receptive.

They have a different quality to them So having said that before I go to further just to reintroduce myself My name is Katie Sweetman and I'm an astrologer and psychic medium located here in the rolling hills of Central, Maryland And every week we gather lives, look at the astrology, you hear me say it every week, the astrology is 50%.

You are the other 50%.

So you know, the part that's you, for example, maybe you feel more active, more restless in the second half of 2026.

Maybe there's a part of you that's been waiting to really launch something, and maybe that's better for the second half of 2026, for example.

But this is just something, again, that we're going to kind of keep on our radar as we go forward.

And, you know, to kind of go back to what I said in the introduction, We had the solstice yesterday.

I'm like, what day is this? Monday.

We had the solstice yesterday, and it is now summer in the northern hemisphere, winter in the southern hemisphere, and we are now in what's called cardinal water.

Cancer is a cardinal sign.

It is the first water sign.

So Aries marks the beginning of the zodiac, and those first four signs, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer, really talk about our primary and sometimes instinctual instincts as human beings.

What do I need? Whether it's material, Taurus, whether it's emotional, Cancer, like my ability to have self-reliance and agency and power, Aries, to be able to communicate, to be able to move, Gemini, for example.

These four signs really talk about some of our basic needs, our basic parts of our lives, and even our earliest development.

Cancer, you may know, cancer is the sign of home and family.

It's the sign of the mother.

I say mother sort of in air quotes.

It's the archetype of the mother.

We all have our own mother, but there's also the archetype of the mother and how as human beings, we really need that care and nurture.

The cardinal signs in astrology, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, they align with the four directions.

Aries aligns with the spring equinox, or at least the spring equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere.
