Aries Full Moon: Sept. 26, 2026

A luminous full moon hangs above a calm, deep-blue ocean beneath a dusky lavender sky. Its golden reflection creates a shimmering path across the water. Ivory text reads: “This Full Moon Brings You Into Your Body. Aries Full Moon · September 26, 2026.”
The Aries Full Moon, September 26, 2026.
A return to instinct, feeling, and the wisdom of your emotional body.

This Full Moon Brings You Into Your Body

At the Autumn Equinox, just four days ago, the Libra Sun reached across the sky to Neptune, inviting you to open to your own invisible world and notice what you can see when you close your eyes and feel your way into yourself.

Today’s Full Moon in Aries embraces Neptune on the other side of that Equinox moment, with the Sun in Libra still aching toward them.

The conversation between the Sun, Neptune, and now the Moon, has become deeply emotional, and you know what they say… As above, so below.

What you met, or intuited, or dreamed at the Equinox now moves into your emotional body. Into instinct, feeling, memory… into the things you sense before you know what words to wrap around them.

The Libra Sun illuminates your relationships with your people and your sense of beauty and everything you love. Across the way, the Aries Moon and Neptune are pulling you like the tide into a more intimate knowing, a more tender feeling for your own inner life.

What if this is one of the gifts of the changing light? You discovering that you don’t have to see something clearly to know that it’s there.

I’ve been exploring this in my new Equinox reflection, What You Can See When You Close Your Eyes, and in Forest of Breath, a free guided meditation for sleep that takes you deep into an Autumn forest and beneath an ancient tree and into the quiet between waking and dreaming.

Both are waiting for you at michellegregg.com. 🌿

The Autumn Equinox 2026

What You Can See When You Close Your Eyes

I’ve spent the past couple of days thinking a lot about the Autumn Equinox. It’s one of two beginnings we get all year where we feel a shimmering breath of stillness and balance, where light and dark see each other as partners, as equals… for just a tiny moment. At the Spring Equinox we’re moving into new life and then the heat and color of Summer… but here, now, we’re moving into a season of harvesting what’s ready to nourish you through the shadows, moving into longer hours to rest as the days shorten… and then, comes Winter and darkness.

This Autumn Equinox gives you a lovely pause that you can step into, that you can breathe in and make yours. You can stop moving forward. Stop looking back. You can simply be, suspended between one moment and the next… it’s a threshold. It’s rather like that space just as you’re falling asleep (Autumn) and then again, just as you’re waking up (Spring). The whole of Autumn is a threshold for something not quite tangible.

I said one of two beginnings because the energy that surrounds us when something is born is the defining energy for the whole life of the thing… in this case Autumn. Everything has a beginning and with astrology we can both map and interpret any moment’s energetic signature. You have a birth chart, and so does Autumn.

The energy of this year’s Autumn Equinox opens a beautifully unbounded window into things that can feel like sanctuary. The Libra Sun arrives at this exquisite pause between light and dark, and directly opposite is Neptune in Aries, saying: there are ways of knowing that do not happen through effort, or action, or argument, or even accomplishment. There are things you can only encounter when the ordinary solar ego surrenders to something beyond or inside the Self. Or both.

While the Aries Neptune spills toward the other-oriented Libra Sun, you can enter that stream and flow toward the realm of the subliminal… let yourself merge into the threshold that now exists… open to how you’re enriched when you reach into other realms of being besides constant wakefulness… constant on-ness…  that’s Aries… being on fire. Neptune softens that. It becomes more shimmer than heat. If you use this opening creatively, spiritually, you enter an inner environment that’s guided by allowing, by stillness. This is when you learn to trust those liminal tendrils that curl into dreams, into beauty, into love… things that have no body and no fight… but that are openings to another kind of knowing… intuition, inspiration, trust… the Divine. The Divine is an opening that pulls you toward places where you sense what is true and holy.

Every Equinox offers balance. And balance arrives when you can live from your consciousness and will, and also from your interior places, from where beauty and awe, inspiration and intuition rise. They are counters to each other, just as our waking and sleeping lives are. Both are enriched by being nourished by the other.

What happens if you allow yourself to stop being on? To sense instead of do. When you willingly soften consciousness and flow into sleep and dreams. When you deeply experience music and art. When you let beauty move you so profoundly you weep. What happens when you fully love? When you trust your intuition. When you let inspiration work its magic. When you pray knowing you’re tapped into the Divine. When you fully recognize knowing that arrives before you can explain how you know it.

This Autumn invites you into more than the waking mind can apprehend. The gift now, as the light slants, and the leaves take on vibrant hues before their release, is balance between the consciousness that acts upon the world and your interior world filled with dreams, intuition, and awe. Go with the energy of this Equinox Season into sleep. Into the forest. Into that loosening of waking consciousness where another form of perception becomes available. Let yourself go in and under and in-between. Between what you can know by looking directly and what you can only see when you close your eyes.

There is beauty here.

Look for Venus and Jupiter tonight. ✨Venus Jupiter Conjunction on June 9 means love and abundance.

A twilight landscape of rolling green hills under an atmospheric, purple sky featuring the June 2026 Venus-Jupiter conjunction. The two bright planets align closely in the western sky above the horizon's sunset glow, illustrating the powerful astrological transit of abundance and planetary alignment.
Step outside into the twilight—the sky is offering you something golden tonight.

Look for Venus and Jupiter tonight. ✨

Have you spotted Venus near Jupiter yet?

Are you feeling loving abundance? Attraction? The possiblity of expansion? A desire for gorgeous relationships? A desire to fulfil your dreams?

These two planets have been moving closer and closer together for several days, so we’ve had some time to land in this beauty… keep it up! Keep aligning with those energies!

The conjunction is exact on June 9, 2026 – today. It’s so worth stepping outside for a few minutes just to watch them brighten the sky with their wonder. LOOK IN THE WESTERN SKY JUST AFTER SUNSET. Look West, then slightly North just above the horizon, and you’ll see them beaming their goodness on you. There’s something deeply reassuring about remembering that we’re living inside a real solar system — one that moves, turns, glows, and keeps its own elegant timing whether we’re paying attention or not.

And these planets won’t run from each other after tonight… you’ll be able to see them moving away from each other over the next few days. So if you have cloud cover, try again!

Venus and Jupiter coming together is one of those lovely pairings that speaks of pleasure, generosity, beauty, expansion, sweetness, and the feeling that life might still have something golden to offer.

Here’s the bit of astrology you’ll want to tuck into your knowing. These two planets together allow us to better resonate to:

• Opportunities, both ones we’ve wanted and worked toward, and unexpected ones.
• A positive shift in our financial well-being.
• The sense that loving connections and meaning for the future are opening up.
• Your heart starts to feel more alive – your resistance is dimming and your ideas are opening!

This energy moves towards those who consciously align with it. Expect to be joyous. Expect to be alive. Tell yourself that your life is good and beautiful and filled with love and all that you want and need. This is the most beautiful way to use the energy. Actively. With purpose. With full consciousness. Pull it toward you!

Go look west after sunset.
I bet you need that kind of beauty right now. 🧡

Autumn Season 2025: Compassion, Openness, and a Structure that Supports the Dream

Balance.

This is the word we reflect on at the Autumn Equinox, and throughout the Autumn Season. As we see and feel the shifting of the light and the crisping of the air, the Sun, in the astrological sign of Libra, continues its descent across the Southern sky, gradually weakening in light and height. At this time of year, light and dark are not battling for the sky, but equal in strength. The equinoxes, both Spring and Autumn, are the only times when the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are equally illuminated. In the Northern Hemisphere we are now in-between the extremes of the heat of Summer with its long, languid days just past, and in anticipation of the short, dark, cold days of Winter. We are betwixt and between… a time of equilibrium, a time of balance. A time of transition. It is as though we are between a deep inhale and a powerful exhale, where the moment hangs shimmering and poignant, before it passes away.

Before we started buying our food at grocery stores and super centers, the Autumn Equinox was a celebration of the harvest – the time when, both exhausted and jubilant, we’d successfully brought in the fruits of our labors, preparing and storing them for the winter. It was a time to mark the importance of working together for a common cause, a time to revel in our community as the stronghold of our survival together. This is an idea that is central to the energy of Libra and to this time of year: equality, balance, community, peace, beauty – the peace and beauty of the dying sun, of the vibrancy of the trees in their final blaze of glory, of our relationships and what we create when we are equal together, honoring all sides, balancing all views, and coming to diplomatic solutions that strengthen and protect us all.

Equinox is from the Latin aequinoctium, meaning equal night.” Today the night is equal to the day, yet as we move through time away from the Equinox and toward the Winter Solstice, the days become shorter and and we have less light to live by. What was known to our ancestors, before technology gave us permanent days with electric light, is the part darkness plays in the work of spiritual transformation. The darkness, to which we are absolutely heading as each day passes, is a place that restores us, a space where we germinate, and regenerate. But before we reach the full darkness of the Winter Solstice, we have the opportunity to learn from the harmony and symmetry of the Equinox. We tap into the beauty of internal balance, that sense of equilibrium we

need in order to start preparing for the darkness. In this space of anticipation, when the light is gorgeous, the air is temperate and cooling to the skin, and the riotous, rich colors of ‘Nature in her Fall’ imbue our spirits with gratitude, with generosity – and because we are feeling externally delighted – we find it easy to extend ourselves in love, open to both giving and receiving. The crispness of the season is reviving to the spirit, and for as long as we dare, before the dark and cold drive us inside, we strive toward company among others, pleasures, beauty, harmony, and love. This is the message of Libra.

The particular message of this Autumn Season, found in the astrology of the Autumn Equinox chart drawn for the moment the Sun moved into Libra at 2:20 PM Eastern on September 22, 2025, is one of creating a strong container for the ways we support and hold our loved ones. Emotional connection and communcating from a place of collaboration, as well as a willingness to compromise are the keys during this season that asks us to both balance and release.

There’s a particular sense of being willing to deeply transform personally, while still holding space for others, for new innovative ideas, and for creating structure and strategy around our dreams and visions for the future. This entire Autumn Season is one in which we can ground ourselves in reality of the moment, while also being able to dream what’s beautiful into being. There’s lots of support and opportunity here if we’re will to remain open to others, and to understanding our ideas and desires from different perspectives.

Building on the dream, giving it structure, especially through compassionate exchanges of ideas, is the way forward this season. Be open. Let things be different. We’re in a state of flux for quite some time to come, but this Autumm Equinox energy says, “Collaborte. Don’t do the hard parts alone. This is time for community. This is time to hold what’s real and let the rest go.”

Enjoy this transitional season! It is filled with beauty, in the light and in the shadows.

The Longest Light: Summer Solstice and the Spirit of Cancer Season

Woman lying in sunlit summer grass, eyes closed in warmth and reverie.
The Sun lingers. Let yourself linger too.

Today, the Sun lingers.

He pauses in his journey, as if the heavens themselves are holding their breath. This is the longest light—the fullness of gold before the great turning inward begins again.

And here you are: open, alive, brimming with possibility.

Today the Sun moves into Cancer, and the warmth of the familiar wants to spread your arms wide to include something or someone new. With this fresh and gorgeous Cancer lens, there’s sweet longing to expand the heart’s circle. You might feel the nudge to gather your people close. To express your love in bigger, bolder ways. To feel them brighter, yet still long to keep them safe.

Within your circle, you might also feel a burning to shift the shape of your family dynamics, your relationships, your very definition of belonging – because you feel yourself growing and expanding toward something you might not yet know the shape of. But the urge to explore it is real.

Answer the Sun’s invitation to bloom in full, erotic aliveness.

This is a moment to feel. To let your sensitivity guide you. Let light seep into every corner of your desire to be alive and whole and lush. Summer ignites an understanding of the eros of life—that creativity is erotic.

The Sun and Jupiter in tandem proclaim:
More is possible.
More love.
More truth.
More safety in your own skin.

A part of you may feel wide open to the “more.” You may answer the call because you feel an urge to sort your space, to clear the table and name what you’re ready to do next. You may feel called to bring order to your outer world, because of some clarity that wasn’t there last week. Or maybe your focus sharpens around how you show up for others, what you give, and how to make it count. You suddenly recognize how you want to show up to serve in the world – and you’re feeling the need to assess what that means and how it’s possible. The challenges that arise are the ignition and the motivation. Let them light you up. Let them call you.

Within that light, that calling, is a beautiful ache—a knowing that change doesn’t always require chaos. Sometimes it only takes a turn of the dial, a conscious clearing of what has overstayed, and the future rushes in like light through an opened door.

The dreams you’ve whispered to stars?
They want your hands.
They want your structure.

And even if your heart trembles a little at their bigness,
you are more than ready to hold them.

Let today be your still point.
Your sunlit center.
The place you pause, just long enough, to feel the light of what’s arriving.

A beam of joy.
A living solstice.
The day that doesn’t end.

NEW MOON IN GEMINI – MAY 26, 2025

🌀 Speak it—not for the world, but for yourself. This New Moon is a quiet invocation.
A candle. A sentence. A becoming.

Speak the Dream Aloud

This is not a whispering Moon. Not this time.

The Sun and Moon hold hands in Gemini while Mercury—their shared ruler—sends a clear signal to Pluto: Change is not polite. It is inevitable. This New Moon doesn’t ask for permission to dream. It commands it. It insists on articulation. The words you choose now might be the spell that shifts your entire trajectory.

Mercury trine Pluto:
deep thoughts, transformative words

Gemini Moon:
restless heart, quicksilver spirit

Saturn and Neptune in Aries sextile this whole ensemble, whispering:
Make it real. But make it beautiful. And make it mine.

Let the ritual be simple. Let it be true.


🌙 A SPELL FOR THE NEW MOON IN GEMINI

Light a candle. Take a pen.
Write down one thing you want to say aloud before the Summer begins.

Not something safe. Something true.

Now speak it—even if it’s only to the flame.

You’re not just declaring it to the world. You’re declaring it to yourself.
And to the stars that might be listening.


✨A Blessing to Close:

May your voice carry.
May your words find the shape of the life they’re building.
And may every truth you dare to name be the seed of your becoming.

🌀 This New Moon is not for silence. Speak, beloved. Speak the dream aloud.

The Magic of a Mind Made New: Gemini Season 2025

Two golden twin figures standing back to back, surrounded by cosmic light and symbols of duality, glowing with ethereal illumination.

Gemini Season has arrived like a breeze through an open window, carrying late Spring perfumes, poems, and possibilities. The Sun now shines in the sign of cleverness, curiosity, contradiction—and connection. And under this sky, the story you’re telling yourself is not the final draft. And the winds of change are blowing through the air like spells. We’re restless. We’re suddenly full of ideas we can’t quite wrangle.

While Gemini is often thought of as just a light flirtation with ideas, the sign actually goes much deeper. This particular Gemini Season is a sacred invitation to rethink the beliefs that bind you, rewrite the inner scripts that might have been keeping you small, and to rise into a new rhythm of self-expression. And this year, it’s personal.

Something essential is stirring—something in you, something in the wind, in the rhythm, in the light of longer days. And Gemini knows how to catch that breeze and translate it into words, ideas, and connections that take flight.

Gemini is mutable air. It shifts. It thinks. It flirts. It dances. And this season invites us to do the same—with our thinking, with our language, with our self-concept.

Gemini Season says:

  • Let’s choose a story that grows with us.
  • Let’s speak in fresh, living languages.
  • Let’s breathe into beliefs that sparkle with vitality.

This is the season for curious re-evaluation, for unlearning with love, for letting our thoughts take wing.

What must also be known is that the Sun entered Gemini in a precise trine to Pluto in Aquarius. This is rare. This is electric. This is transformation through thought—alchemy through language. While Gemini brings agility, adaptability, and dazzling multiplicity, Pluto adds depth, power, and an unflinching gaze into the soul of our mental patterns. We’re not just having new ideas—we’re entering soul-level editing.

This is the time to remember that your words hold power—and that they can empower. You can choose to speak in ways that shape your relationships toward evolution.

Your words, both thought and spoken, tune your frequency. You get to choose what that frequency feels like, and the direction you take.

In a Gemini-ruled world with Pluto present, language is a spell.

  • So be curious about the spells you’re casting.
  • Be attentive to the metaphors you live by.
  • Be playful with how you speak to yourself.

The twins of Gemini, Castor and Pollux, remind us that duality lives in all of us—the immortal and the mortal, the visible and the hidden, the speaker and the one who listens. Pluto’s trine to the Gemini Sun shines light into the places we’ve kept mentally compartmentalized, forcing open the doors between parts of the psyche we thought we had to keep separate.

The twins teach us that there’s never just one truth. There’s never just one version of reality. There’s always another perspective. Another voice. Another curiosity waiting to be followed.

A softly lit, enchanted workspace featuring an open journal, glowing candle, fresh flowers, and ethereal details like magical sparkles and gentle morning light. This image evokes the feeling of personal spellcraft, quiet reflection, and the sacred power of language. It captures the heart of Gemini season’s invitation to rethink, rewrite, and rise—starting right at your own kitchen table.

And when Mercury is active (as it always is during Gemini Season), our minds are extra tuned into all that’s moving.

This is a good time to:

  • Journal your questions instead of your answers
  • Read something you normally wouldn’t
  • Rewrite the About Me page of your life
  • Reconnect with the part of yourself that loves to think, to speak, to connect, to learn

Add to this the grounding presence of Mercury in Taurus, still holding the reins of the season’s ruler with slow, sensual thoughtfulness. Mercury in Taurus reminds us to think with the body, to speak with the breath, to choose words that build rather than break. He is trining the South Node in Virgo and sextiling the North Node in Pisces—a cosmic invitation to release perfectionism and control in favor of compassion, fluidity, and trust.

This is the beauty of cosmic choreography.

You may feel the pull to rewrite an old story. You may feel the itch of an outdated label that no longer fits. You may suddenly find yourself speaking words that feel more like spells than sentences.

Let them rise.

Let the mind make new myths.

Gemini Season isn’t here to help you master a message. It’s here to remind you that you are the message. That you are allowed to grow, adapt, shapeshift—and speak from the spark, not the script.

  1. Write your contradictions. Make a list of all the seemingly incompatible truths about you. Then ask: what if none of them are wrong?
  2. Speak out loud to the mirror. Choose one thought you believe about yourself. Say it out loud. How does it land in the body? Shift it if needed. Say it again.
  3. Walk and talk. Go for a walk and speak to yourself as if you’re speaking to your future self. Let the movement stir the words. Let the wind carry what no longer serves.

Remember: this is Mercury’s realm. Language is sacred. Thought is magic. And curiosity might just be the key that unlocks your next becoming.

Gemini says: Ask it. Try it. Say the wild thing.

You are not here to be consistent. You are here to be true.

And if you need permission to change the story? Gemini offers it freely.

Think of it as spring cleaning—but for the self.

Rethink. Rewrite. Rise.

Let this season be a flirtation with possibility. Let your words open doors. Let your thoughts lead you somewhere new.

Happy Gemini Season, my loves.

How Ya Feelin’?

So… how are you?
What’s in your head?
What’s in your heart?
What’s your body saying?
And maybe most importantly, how’s your Spirit?

I’m genuinely interested in your answers.

We’ve been navigating vivid, complex, often intense energies—each asking us to grow in ways we couldn’t have foreseen. And it makes sense if you’re feeling untethered, uncertain, or even hopeful in strange new ways.

Let’s take a breath and name the landscape:

  • Pluto’s move into Aquarius after 15 years in Capricorn—a generational upheaval.
  • Neptune’s shift from Pisces into Aries—a wave of the mystical meeting the spark of self.
  • And still to come: Saturn into Aries, Jupiter into Cancer, Uranus into Gemini, and Chiron into Taurus—all within a 10-month window. This is extraordinary. And it’s just beginning.

Eclipses, retrogrades, and the evolutionary churn of outer planet ingresses are rewriting the energetic atmosphere of our lives. What used to feel fixed or solid may no longer be so. And in the absence of certainty, there’s a strange kind of invitation:

🌿 To wake up.
🌿 To participate.
🌿 To become conscious creators in this great cosmic rewrite.

This time can feel like a lot. But it’s also fertile.

We can root ourselves in awareness, in love, in practice. We can respond to change with curiosity rather than fear. We can listen deeply to what’s being asked of us—and grow something new.

So tell me, dear one:
How ya feelin’?
What’s waking up inside you?
What do you long to embody now?

You’re not alone in this.
You’re part of something vast.
And you’ve got allies in every element, every planet, every breath.

The world is changing—and so are you.
Let’s make it beautiful.

(Please feel free to tell me how you’re feeling in the comments!)
