Stars This Week?
29 June, 2026
This week begins with powerful emotional energy. A Full Moon that peaks across 28 and 29 June moves from Jyestha in Scorpio, where the Moon is debilitated, into Moola in Sagittarius, bringing a shift from emotional intensity to deeper understanding. At the same time, Mercury turns retrograde on 29 June, beginning a period of reflection, revision and reconsideration.
The strong Cancer emphasis continues through much of the week, with Mercury, Venus and exalted Jupiter together in Cancer. This creates a focus on emotional intelligence, family, belonging and meaningful connection. Yet by 4 July, Venus leaves Cancer and enters Leo, joining Ketu and changing the emotional atmosphere once again.
Meanwhile, Jupiter remains at full strength in Pushya Nakshatra, Saturn continues through Revati, and Mars maintains steady momentum in Taurus.
This is a week of reflection, emotional clarity and changing priorities.
