What do I need to do, be have, or give in order to create my IDEAL LIFE?
ASTROLOGY OVERVIEW 2026
Bolded type is Pacific Time (PT) | Regular type is Eastern Time (ET)
DARK OF THE MOON, also referred to as Kalika Moon (in ancient Hindu), is the 24-hours before the New Moon.
Long considered the most potent time of the month to re-discover and willingly allow shadow aspects to surface, it’s an ideal time to cleanse and purify away old energies. It’s an opportunity to be loving with the crunchy stuff so it can be transformed, and you move forward, lighter.
Ideal days for the Dark of the Moon
Write + Burn Ritual
NEW MOONS symbolize new beginnings. New projects, creative launches, engagements, weddings, good deeds, and acts of generosity on New Moons are auspicious. Clarify your intentions for the coming cycle, make your requests of the Universe, and let your Faith lead the way.

FULL MOONS symbolize resolution, fulfillment, shedding, and letting go of what’s arising in the mind-body continuum. Whatever is surfacing in your emotions, perceptions, or thoughts from the 4 days before the Full Moon, up to the cycle’s culmination, is appearing so it can be consciously offered up and released. Meet it with courage and let it be transformed.
Ideal days for the Full Moon
Write + Burn Ritual
ECLIPSES symbolize growth, expansion, and the transition from narrow-mindedness to a more inclusive collective. They serve as a powerful tool for revealing and addressing stagnancy, bringing old narratives, stories, perceptions, and outdated belief structures to the surface for conscious resolution. This process of release, readjustment, and realignment paves the way for a more spacious, inclusive way of thinking and being.

MERCURY
RETROGRADES occur
3 to 4 times a year and last about 3 weeks. This transit gives the perception of Mercury— the planet that rules communication (technology + travel included)—going “backward.” While not an ideal time to officially launch new endeavours or make important purchases, it is an excellent time to go inward, slow down, and intentionally reorganize, purge, reassess, and respond to things that come up from the past. Retreat and deepen your devotional practices.
There’s a shadow period before and after a retrograde—like a ramp-up and a hangover. Treating that pre-shadow and post-shadow time as part of the retrograde period is wise.

EQUINOXES (Spring + Fall) are when we come into greater balance with our yin + yang energies. Think about how you can pour your inner Light into your relationships with everyone and everything around you. It’s from that balancing that so much of our shadow dissolves, and divisiveness in relationships melts away.
Spring March 20 07:45 10:45
Fall September 22 17:05 20:05
SOLSTICES (Summer + Winter) are the year’s longest and shortest days. A time to go inward and contemplate our Divinity and the nature of impermanence. This sacred time helps us get closer to the Light within us the magnetic self that knows no boundaries.
Summer June 21 01:24 04:24
Winter December 21 12:05 15:05

ENERGETICS OF THE DAYS OF THE WEEK
Every day of the week is governed by a planetary energy, so each day has its own vibration. Ideally, we flow with that energy instead of resisting it.
One way to create more flow is to pair a Life Area with a day of the week. Then tasks, research, shopping, organizing, check-ins, etc... get focused on that Life Area.
More grace, less grind.
SUNDAY is ruled by the Sun, Solar Nature, Soul, Christ Consciousness/Buddha Nature. It brings the energy of all-inclusiveness—Divine Love. Energetically speaking, Sundays are the first day of the week. Sundays are ideal for devotion, restoration, and preparation.
LIFE AREA pairing: SPIRIT. Meditation + Visualization. Prayer. Ritual. Breathwork. Reflection. Journaling.
MONDAY is ruled by the Moon—a lunar force. Shadow energies (the unconscious) can abound, so it can be a more emotional, watery-feeling day for some people. Mondays call for patience and mindfulness.
LIFE AREA pairing: BODY. Nutrition. Movement. Rest. Supplements + Medicine. Sex + Sensuality. Healing modalities.
TUESDAY is ruled by Mars, a planet of ambition and passion. Mars energy can be aggressive, combative, and confrontational. It may not be the ideal day to launch new ideas or projects. Tuesdays are good for creation and execution.
LIFE AREA pairing: LIVELIHOOD. Work. Finances. Leadership. Education. Service.
WEDNESDAY is ruled by Mercury. This energy is ideal for broader communication of ideas, thoughts, and experiences. There’s more fluidity in how things can be disseminated. Wednesdays are excellent for sharing ideas and wisdom.
LIFE AREA pairing: PLAY. Creativity. Interests. Hobbies. Travel. Rest.
THURSDAY is ruled by Jupiter, so it’s considered a day of abundance, luck, determination, vastness, and selflessness. Thursdays are for expanding, teaching, and reaching out.
LIFE AREA pairing: MIND + EMOTIONS. Thoughts. Speech. Action. Feelings.
FRIDAY is ruled by Venus, which governs Higher consciousness and energy and helps us embrace all polarities in the Heart. It’s a very transpersonal and selfless energy. Creativity abounds. Fridays are for ideation, creation, and deeper connection.
LIFE AREA pairing: RELATIONSHIPS. Self. Inner Child. Friends + Family. Animals. Work. Community. Guides. The World.
SATURDAY is ruled by Saturn, which looks after karma, rigidity/structure, and teaches us lessons. Perhaps it’s best not to launch projects or new ideas on this day. Ideally, we close the week applying forgiveness to ourselves and others. Saturdays are for cleaning up on multiple levels and forgiving.
LIFE AREA pairing: SPACE + THINGS. Home. Workspace. Material things. Belongings.

1. HAND ON HEART. Put your right hand on your heart and breathe slowly.
2. SIGNAL YOUR MIND TO RELAX by recalling a positive memory or feeling of gratitude, love, beauty—your loves, happiness, the best day of your life, adoring nature, feeling most alive….
Notice warm golden light filling your heart chakra. Now…switch gears.
What would you like to energize or transform? (Uplifting the positive or transforming the negative.)
To transform negative energy: Focus on one pain aspect at a time. Think of the feeling or struggle that you want to bring ease to—and bring it into your heart.
You can see it however you like. As a snapshot, a symbol, a phrase. A face or a place, a landscape. You can hear it as a word or a sound. You can see a sentence written in your heart.
3. SEND LIGHT. Shine the light spectrum on to what you’re healing—very lit up, translucent rainbow colours. It’s like the colours that happen when light shines through stained glass:
Bright pinks, peach tones, soft golds, minty greens, sky blues, lilacs. Very dynamic, lit up, soft and alive. Your heart center is luminous.
4. ADD ENERGIES. Pour on Soul Qualities if you want! Energies of Compassion, Love, Joy, Forgiving, wishes for the highest good for all.
5. LET IT REST. Let the pain theme (or positive vision) rest in your heart. You don’t need to analyze it or change it. Just let it be in the light. Stay focused on the energy of the solution.
Breathe into your heart. Get on with your day.
Head to getheartcentered.com for digital resources to support this practice.

In Buddhist terminology,
Metta = Loving Kindness
Bhavana = practice
We can offer this to our Inner Child and all aspects of our life.
To our beloveds, the people we may not agree with, past, present, strangers, the people we serve. To all beings everywhere—including the plant + animal kingdoms.
“Metta is indeed a universal, unselfish and all-embracing love.…If these qualities of metta are sufficiently cultivated through metta-bhavana, the result is the acquisition of a tremendous inner power which preserves, protects and heals both oneself and others”.
- The Barre Center for Buddhist Studies
