Summer 2026 Newsletter

As we move forward, we will be offered some fascinating choices. In both July and August 2026, we experience one of the more important symbolic alignments of the year:

  • The North Node has is entering Aquarius at the end of July 2026
  • The South Node will enter Leo at the same time
  • Asteroid Hekate moves into conjunction with the North Node late in August & will also be conjunct the Sun in Leo at 29 degrees (same day that Eris is Trine the Sun/South Node conjunction in Leo, square to Juno at 28 degrees Capricorn and opposite to the North Node in Aquarius. Lots going on.)
  • Barbault’s Basket is also playing a major role. With Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter all standing at 4 degrees (3 sextiles and an opposition) we can either take advantage of this opportunity by CHOOSING OUR NEW TIMELINE or letting it pass, losing our “Renaissance Moment” to the sands of time.

What does this mean for me?

That is a lot of energy. Because of the powerful soul evolution that’s possible for the Collective, I’m particularly interested in the North Node conjunction with Hekate in late August. It will take place at the Anaretic Degrees of two signs (Aquarius and Leo) – that’s a MAJOR Spiritual Path turning point, my friend.  Pay particular attention to which house axis (or pair) this falls into in your birth chart. The Houses tell you what part of your life will be impacted by this Spiritual crossroads. Let’s start unpacking this powerful time in humanity’s history.

Who Was Hekate?

She was/is The Triple Goddess

She was honored as:

  • Keeper of the Crossroads
  • Goddess of Magic
  • Guardian of Thresholds
  • Protector of Travelers
  • Mistress of the Night
  • Torch Bearer
  • Guide between Worlds

She ruled the places where one life ended…

…and another began.

Unlike Persephone who was taken into the Underworld…

Hekate moved freely between

  • Heaven
  • Earth
  • Underworld

making her one of the greatest symbols of spiritual mastery.

Although she (Hekate) is not one of the traditional planets, most modern evolutionary astrologers consider her one of the most spiritually significant asteroids because she represents thresholds, initiation, magic, discernment, and the moments when destiny changes forever through choice.

Hekate’s conjunction with the North Node is extremely important – with its themes of spiritual initiation, life crossroads, and choosing a new evolutionary path. During late summer 2026, Hekate is moving through Aquarius alongside the newly arrived North Node, creating a powerful symbolic emphasis on collective evolution and future-oriented purpose.

Hekate in Astrology

Spiritually, Hekate often represents moments when:

  • old timelines expire
  • intuition becomes louder than logic
  • hidden truths surface
  • karmic doors close
  • entirely new futures become available

She doesn’t simply create change.

She asks:

“Now that you know the truth…
what are you going to choose?” and…which level of Consciousness is doing the choosing?

How Do I Take The Universe Up on This Powerful Moment?

Since Aquarius is the path forward, you’re being asked to embrace a higher level of awareness and Consciousness (a soul evolution) in the House that Aquarius falls in your chart. This is even more profound if you have natal planets at the late degrees of Aquarius or Leo (or Taurus or Scorpio, the other two Fixed Signs). I would also add that late degrees of Gemini and Libra will activate as well. The Fixed Signs get a challenge – meaning some type of block may become a priority to shift or something becomes unsustainable. The Air signs (Libra and Gemini) will have the road rising up to meet you – you’ll simply be *involved* in the new Timeline and it will be natural to embrace it.

Here are some journal prompts to help you work through this energy and make the most of Hekate’s offer to you: which *you* will be choosing?

Where in my life do I know I’m standing at a crossroads?

What decision have I been postponing because I fear the unknown?

If I already knew I couldn’t make the wrong choice, what would I choose?

What feels “safe” versus what feels deeply alive?

What chapter of my life is clearly ending?

What future keeps quietly calling me?

The energy of this Crossroads will be with us from now through the rest of the Summer (northern hemisphere) and you may have multiple opportunities that show up for you. Embrace your higher frequency timeline and enjoy this powerful experience!

I simply like the way you ‘explain’ things, clearly in an educated manner ,with humour and charm. I haven’t got a clue about Astrology, at the moment I am just looking for some help from the Universe as I am working through a finished deep friendship that left me feeling small, humiliated – although I did quite a bit of that humiliation myself and ver little, if any self-esteem. Strangely enough, I feel better now with more energy and ‘waking up’ to myself again and I am hoping that will continue and not being interrupted as has happened before by falling into a deep hole again. Apparently I am Aries Sun with cancer rising and a Leo noon- and from the little I know I feel that the cancer has been with me for a long time but my energy seems to come back which I take as Aries.
Thanks for listening.

This is great! Question. Anaretic degree Aquarius and Leo. You refer to the birth chart and what axis or pair this falls in. What exactly do I look at?

As frightening as this sounds to this spiritual novice, I will embrace this experience. Choices are always welcomed as they create a journey that will undoubtedly level up for many of us. I will gladly accept and ask spirit to allow the clarity and wisdom to choose wisely. For my higher most authentic self. ✌️

I’ve been following you for some time now, you are so awesome. I want to introduce myself to you a bit more in depth, particularly in this time of great transformation. I rarely speak on this – in my earlier days I was initiated as High Priestess, 3rd degree in an English Traditional Wiccan coven, and was dedicated to the Goddess Hecate by my elders. Highly unusual for an ETW coven, but my Mother Priestess said at the time, “I wondered who had the “cojones” to carry Hecate’s energies”. Hecate remains as one of my guides, as does Kali, Pallas Athena, the Morrigan, etc., though I now carry the duties of Olowo (Chief) and Iyanifa (Mother of the Secrets of Wisdom) in the West African spiritual traditions generally known as Ifa/Orisha. I’m also an astrologer (fellow Saggi stellium, 1st house with Scorpio stellium, 11th house and North Node Scorpio, 12th house); reader of tarot and other oracular methods, and I’m in private practice as a “Coach/Seasoned Elder” in my communities. Thank you for the wisdom and guidance that you bring forth in this world. You are a source for me and I’m happy to watch you every day.

Good morning MJ,
I’m just catching up with the newsletter, I think it’s great ! I did take the class Destiny shifts, I was a little confused with my answers to my questions?
Because it was stated that I had not said what ° & what my North Node and South Node were. But in fact that is how I started my question. Was that my Gemini was 1° north node, which obviously makes myself node Sagittarius 1°. I was trying not to make the questions too long, So they were broken up into three sections and I think they possibly may have gotten lost in translation. But I feel as though I had given the appropriate information. I do not feel like I have any answers. I know my chart is very complicated as a whole, or so it seems to be. But everything that is going on right now directly corresponds to my chart and I see it very clearly. I think I might be feeling a little frustrated because regardless of how many classes I take or how much energy and time I put in I’m still not completely understanding of you specific things. I’m afraid that I may miss the window , As I see the dates quickly taking by.. They are not gone yet, Not all of them.

I’m February Pisces sun moon Mercury and N Node trying to figure out how this applies to a 74 yr old who still has lots of life in her.

I am trying to be patient, but I feel like I have been standing, waiting, at this crossroads for a while now. Nothing but crickets in the 3D. If opportunities are coming my way, I am missing them completely. I will keep learning the lessons and patiently wait for late August. At this point, I would take a Devil trying to buy my soul in exchange for mad guitar skills. Either this is the most uneventful crossroads ever, or I am still on the straightaway (which, to be honest, is always a boring drive).
