Hello Pisces, welcome to Gemini season.
This is your season ahead reading from Embodied Astrology.
My name is Renee and I'm happy to be here with you to explore
the span of time between May 20th and June 21st in 2026.
This is a general reading for all of your Pisces placements,
Sun, Moon, rising, and anything else you got going on in the
sign. We all have Pisces in our charts
somewhere and this is a general reading so take it works, leave
the rest and make the meanings that are most meaningful for
you. OK?
Gemini is a sibling sign for Pisces.
You are both what are called mutable signs and this means
that you are change agents. Mutability is the ability to
take a little bit of what comes before and a little bit of what
is yet to come and bring it all together.
It is adaptable, it is imaginative and deeply
changeable. So as we enter into the season
of Gemini, we are moving into a period of time that increases
changeability just in general. And then especially for Pisces,
because Gemini is a mutable sign and you are on the mutable cross
or that's how horoscopes are read as we put the sign we're
reading for in the 1st place. So this is most accurate, I
should say, you know, for Pisces risings.
But again, take what works, leave the rest.
It's going to hit on some level for any Pisces placements.
Where Gemini is for Pisces is right at the ground.
It's in the anchor or the root of the chart.
And when we are working in this place of the chart, we are
working with themes of foundation and stability and
home and family and belonging. And as we enter into Gemini
season of this year, not only are we going to have the usual
increase of energy with the Sun there and the increase of
awareness with Mercury there 'cause Mercury is always
somewhat close to the Sun. But we also have, probably for
the first time and the only time in our lifetimes, the presence
of Uranus. Now Uranus has just entered
Gemini. It moved in right at the
beginning of Taurus season. We did have a brief ingress or a
brief experience of Uranus in Gemini last year between July
and early November, but it only made it to the very early degree
of the sign and then it went back into Taurus.
Uranus has a 84 year orbit around the Sun.
And so when I said it's the first time and probably the last
time, I'm just guessing that if you're old enough to really kind
of like work with whatever's coming through with a horoscope,
you probably won't live for another Uranus cycle.
And some of you, maybe if you're in your 80s, we're here for the
last one, but probably a lot of you that was well before your
lifetimes. So this is special.
It's a special kind of energy that is now going to infuse
these parts of our, these parts of our chart for the next 7
years. Uranus will be in Gemini until
2033. Now, Uranium energy increases
changeability and Uranus loves being in Gemini because Gemini
is a sign that is all about electricity and connections and
things happening kind of fast and sometimes unpredictably.
And Uranium energy is that kind of vibe as well.
When astrologers talk about Uranus, they talk about things
being innovative and inventive and disruptive.
They talk about processes of awakening, aha experiences,
light bulbs going off, things like that.
There can also be a lot of destabilization because things
tend to happen that feel kind of out of the blue.
We can be caught by surprise by something.
And this is now an energy that is taking up residence in the
root of your chart in the foundation.
And that means that how you anchor and how you root and your
sense of stability need some innovation.
You're ready for some inventions.
So let's really try to tune in with the positive potentials.
I will definitely give voice to some of the things that might be
more of a caution. But first and foremost, let's
really think about this influence as a period of time
that is supporting awakening and liberation for you.
So if there are ways that you have been feeling stuck or
stagnant in what might be kind of like an anchor for you and
the 4th house can often be like what we do or how we access our
sense of safety and security. It can have a lot to do with
familiarity and comfort. And many of us, you know, get
habitual or the ways that we try to access safety and security
become confining over time. So if you have felt in any way
that you kind of want to stretch your life in new directions, you
want to experience things that could present an opportunity for
you to feel a little destabilized in your own sense
of security. But it also feels potentially
fun and new and liberating. This is an influence that really
wants to help you do that because this is a very social
sign. Gemini is an air sign, it is a
relational sign, and it's a part of your chart that has to do
with family and kin and belonging.
I'll also say that this is a wildly fabulous influence for
you to be innovating in community, building networks,
making new and different kinds of relationships, inviting the
kinds of conversations with people who you're connected with
and want to be more deeply connected with in ways that
really kind of help you expand and again, innovate or
experiment with your sense of belonging.
So we are living in a time of wild, unpredictable change.
The climate is wildly unpredictable right now, in
large part because of human behavior and misuse of
resources. And this is producing the need
for a lot of people to think about living differently.
So some Pisces out there might be really attracted to living
differently. Maybe you're thinking about
getting off the grid. Maybe you're thinking about
what's happening in the grid and how you want to use it
differently. Some of you are wanting to
engage with land projects, or you're wanting to build
solidarity and networks and skill shares and things like
that. This energy is so good for that
and that is an amazing way to use it.
The last like just blowing a prayer for positive vibes into
this part of your chart has to do with ancestry and origins.
Big important themes in this part of your chart.
Uranus definitely helps us awaken and Gemini is a sign
often of communication. It could be a very interesting
type of project or pastime for you to be learning right now
more about your people, like who you come from, where you come
from, and also your current location.
The land speaks right? The land is alive and we are
part of the land, literally. We are part of creating the soil
and the crust of the earth all the time.
And everything that came before is growing into everything that
is present. And I feel that there are
definitely Pisces out there that are like, you're wanting to
listen to the land, you're wanting to listen to ancestors
to origins, You're wanting to tell stories about where we are
and where we're coming from. And Gemini as an energy is all
about storytelling. And stories make the world go
round, right? The human realms are completely
based in stories that we tell, whether it's the story of
religion or the story of science or the story of your family tree
or, or the story of, you know, how somebody did XY and Z and
now blah, blah, blah. Everything is story.
And it is such a great time to be telling new stories and also
remembering old stories and asking ourselves what kinds of
stories we want to be telling. So does any of that resonate for
you, my Pisces friends? Let me know if it does.
We move into Gemini season. Mercury's already in Gemini, the
Sun comes into Gemini. They both immediately conjunct
with Uranus. Then they make aspects to all of
the outer planets because in 2026 all of the outer planets
are coordinated and doing a thing.
And this aspect pattern started in 2025 and will continue until
2033, at least by sign, and in pretty strong orbit until 2030.
So we are in times of massive global and societal change.
These are chaotic times. They are times that are full of
peril and full of possibility. None of us know what's going to
happen, but all of us can participate with what is
happening. The worst thing that anybody can
do is nothing. The best thing that we can do
right now is really show up with our best selves.
And the outer planets are, in my opinion, really trying to
broadcast that message into human consciousness right now.
And in Gemini season, they're doing that through the energy of
Gemini, which is communication, information, agitation in the
informational sphere, conversations that people are
having, etcetera. So between May 20th and June
2nd, Mercury and the Sun conjoined with Uranus, sextile
Neptune in Aries, square the nodal axis, trine Pluto in
Aquarius and then sextile Saturn in Aries.
And this also coincides with the Sagittarius full Moon.
Like Pisces and Gemini and your opposite sign Virgo, Sagittarius
is on the mutable cross. But Sagittarius holds the heaven
of your chart. And this has everything to do
with you out there in the world, you being visible, you being
seen, you being purposeful and, you know, being being here with
a reason, like, what is your reason for being here?
And I feel that this is a period of time when a lot of you are
really clicking into a sense of purpose.
There is a lot of concentration for you at this time with what
I'm going to say are your values and your core needs and desires
and your strengths and your talents.
I think a lot of you are you really want to contribute and I
think that how you want to contribute and what you want to
contribute is changing. I feel that you are shifting in
your identity a lot right now and that you have been going
through a pretty profound shift over the last like 2 years or
so, acutely and intensely. And you want for this new way of
being now to be more materialized, be more formalized
in some way in, in social fabric and like locational space.
And so I think that this early part of Gemini season is really
stimulating Pisces, to reformulate your ideas about
what you have to give, what your values are really like, what you
want to be investing in and contributing towards, and what
you need and like your basic survival, sustainable kinds of
things. But also on a more existential,
spiritual, energetic, emotional and relational level, what you
need in order to do what it is that you are wanting to do.
Then we get into the month of June.
Mercury is moving into Cancer pretty much right at the
beginning of June. Cancer is your fellow water sign
and Mercury will be retrograde in Cancer from June 29th until
July 23rd. And so we are headed into what's
called the Mercury Retro Shade. This is when Mercury is
traveling direct, but it's over this this area of sky that it's
retrograde will revisit. The retro shade starts on June
12th. Mercury enters Cancer right at
the beginning of June and June 9th.
Mercury makes an aspect to Saturn in Aries as Venus and
Jupiter. The great benefits, the gift
givers of the Zodiac are coming together also in the sign of
Cancer. Now this is a very lucky and
opportune moment in this year. Sorry, that sound was me
flipping my page back to my Virgo season map.
I like to draw out the astrology as an embodied astrologer.
I can't just look at a computer and be like, this thing means
that thing. Like I have to move it and dance
it and breathe it and draw it out and like get a sense for how
it all flows. Just going to pause for a moment
and say if you resonate with my readings and you like this kind
of embodied, experiential, physical, tactile relationship
with astrology, you might be interested in my practitioner
program. I'm starting a chart reading
cohort in Virgo season, actually the last weekend of August.
And it's a year long program. And you'll learn how to read
Natal charts, relationship charts, event charts, and how to
do forecasting and prediction all through experiential body to
practice. I also have a Monday class, 8:00
to 9:30 AM. Pacific every week on the moon
days where we work with astrology through the felt
sense, through movement, meditation, visualization,
etcetera. You can always drop into that
class, but if you become a member, you'll get access to our
chart reading study groups, which are on Thursday.
They are facilitated by my colleague Alicia and in the
chart reading study groups, people are talking about their
experience with astrology. So we don't do like top down
kind of hierarchical, hierarchical learning models.
We really emphasize the felt sense and lived experience.
And if that vibes for you, come hang out with us.
OK, I digress. We were talking about Gemini
season. I was telling you that Mercury
is coming into Cancer and that on June 9th Venus and Jupiter
are forming a conjunction in Cancer.
This is a event that you definitely want to take note of
Pisces, because in traditional astrology, Jupiter rules the
sign Pisces, and whatever Jupiter is doing, it's going to
give something to you. Now, Venus and Jupiter are
considered to be the benefits, the great gift givers of the
planetary pantheon. They bring good vibes, they
bring opportunities, they bring ease, they bring beauty, they
bring harmony, they bring expansion and luck, and they're
coming together in the sign of Cancer where they both like to
be in a place in your chart that is probably one of the most fun
places in the chart. This is the 5th house.
This is a place of pleasure. Now I will say that this
particular transit for Pisces, especially Pisces Risings is a
very fertile. That can mean a lot of things.
But for those of you who are wanting or not wanting to
conceive, if you have the opportunity to do such a thing,
just know that your fertility is increased around this time.
And if you are a person who does not live in a childbearing body,
but you happen to be in a situation with somebody who
does, that can go both ways, OK? So just be aware that fertility
is definitely increased around this time.
Now fertility is creative energy.
And so for any Pisces identified folks out there, I'm going to
say this is a very creative, very fertilely creative time.
This is a time when you have a lot of manifestation power.
You can bring dreams into being. The best way to harness this
energy is to really tap in and TuneIn with your biggest
generosity and like the gift giving energy and your pleasure
and your enjoyment and like your biggest dream for who you are
and who you are becoming and what you could bring to this
earth when it's beautiful abundance thrives and conditions
of generosity. And when we all give what we
most joyfully have to give, there is so much of so much.
We have plenty and this is the type of energy you want to be
resonating with around this time.
Now, this precedes Mercury beginning its retrograde shadow
and that starts on June 12th. And as Mercury begins its
retrograde shadow, there is a stimulation from Uranus in
Gemini to the eclipse points which are currently in Pisces
and Virgo. So this is a very powerful
beginning of the retro shade for you Pisces.
And a couple of days later on June 12th, we have a new moon in
Gemini. And I feel that this is all
coming together as an influence that is really shifting your
perspective. It's definitely doing a thing
for you where you are conscious of opportunities and directions
that you could go that maybe seem kind of out of the blue,
Like you weren't conscious of them before.
Or maybe you thought that they were impossible for you.
Or there might be events happening that are pushing you
in some kind of direction you never thought you would be
going, or something like that. Venus is moving into Leo around
this time on. From June 13th through June
17th, Venus and Leo will be also making aspects to all the outer
planets and this increases your capacity to manifest.
Leo holds a part of your chart that is about your labor and
your ability to bring things into being through consistency
and dedication and application and focus of your energy.
So I feel like this is a very productive period of time for
Pisces identified folks and I don't know what it is that you
are trying to craft or create, but it does feel highly
creative. It feels like when you are
organizing your energy again around the best benefit for all
involved that you are really giving back abundance.
And I think that this definitely is a period of time that
absolutely requires you to be in alignment with your values and
tuning in with how you can best value yourself.
There is some necessary work right now that Pisces is doing.
I think in clarifying and articulating what it is that you
have to give, it feels like this is confidence building time for
you where you can clearly say like, yes, I have this skill, I
have this capacity, I've done that.
I've figured this thing out. And there's some kind of larger
synthesis that is wanting to happen for you.
Now obviously this could be with work and like projects that
you're working on, but this can also be with relationship.
This can be with a life path in general or kind of how you hold
yourself in some kind of larger sphere of your life.
The last thing that I want to say about the astrology of
Gemini season is that on the 19th of June, Chiron is moving
into Taurus. And Chiron is what's called a
Centaur planet. It has a highly elliptical
orbit. It spends a long amount of time
in certain signs and a very short amount of time in others.
It has been in areas since 2018. It moves into Taurus, as I
mentioned, June 19th. It will start its retrograde in
early August. It will move back into areas by
middle of September. But then as of April next year,
Chiron will be in Taurus for about 7 years.
And so this first ingress into Taurus is a powerful 1.
And it starts to wake us up to some of the potentials that are
here in this part of our chart, particularly when it comes to
our potentials as healers and teachers for ourselves and for
others. Now, Taurus is a complementary
energy for you, and it rests in a part of your chart that has a
lot to do with communication and how you work with information.
As an energy, Taurus corresponds with the voice.
And this part of your chart, again, has a lot to do with what
you are sharing through your voice, but that could include
writing as well as speaking. And Chiron, coming into this
part of your chart, I think is asking you to communicate and
share of your experiences in new and different ways.
A lot of you might have stories about yourself and how you
communicate that are ready to change.
And I would encourage you to tune in with this transit as an
opportunity for that. If you have been scared of
public speaking or it's like you know that you enjoy writing but
you never put your writing out there or something like that,
this could be a powerful time for you to do that.
This is also a period of time that increases the significance
that I was talking about early on in the reading with Gemini of
you connecting in your immediate kind of areas.
So definitely neighbors, neighborhoods, communities that
you might be a part of, there could be shifts in relationships
with people who are very close to you in kind of more
horizontal or lateral relationships like siblings or
cousins or Co workers. It feels like there's a lot of
need for you to listen and be listened to and to share
information in new and different ways and to connect and convene
with people around new kinds of information.
So I'm wondering what in there, if anything, resonates and pings
for you. I'm very curious how this Chiron
transit will manifest. All right, I said that I am
going to like give you a couple of things around caution.
When we're working with astrology, we're always working
with a spectrum of possibility. I do feel for Pisces at this
time that your stability is something that is being
transformed. And so when it comes to
stability, that definitely includes material life
circumstances, it definitely includes finances and things
like that. But it also I think really
deeply includes your mind and your emotional state of being
and kind of like general holistic well-being.
And So what I want to say is that we are living in very
unstable, chaotic times. And material stability is
something that a lot of people are feeling is very
unpredictable for all kinds of reasons right now.
And many people may be in states of like pretty active turbulence
when material stability is threatened, so is mental
stability, so is emotional stability.
And a lot of us experience fluctuations in our mental and
emotional stability, particularly when we're thinking
about material stability and materials again, finances for
sure, but also where we are, who we know, what we can access
resources wise, etcetera. With everything that's on the
table for 2026 and all that we cannot control and all that we
cannot prepare for. I'm not going to tell you
anything about what I think is happening in your life
necessarily when it comes to these realms.
What I am going to say is that you tending to your own internal
balance and equilibrium right now is key.
And the best ways for people in general to affect their internal
balance and equilibrium has to do with building internal
consciousness. And the ways that we build
internal consciousness are plenty.
There are all kinds of practices out there, but there are very
ancient practices that have been developed for literally
thousands of years for exactly these reasons, and they are
forms of meditation and breath work.
You really want to be able to focus your mind intentionally
right now, Pisces, when influences internally and
externally come and mess with you, as they like to do for all
people, all beings, right? It's like it's a smell, it's a
sound, it's a squirrel, and it's like, where did we go?
We've got all kinds of internal narratives.
We've got all kinds of shit going on.
And human minds love to be mischievous creatures.
They love to jump from one thing to the next to the next.
They also love to go in circles, and a lot of times the circles
that they love to go in are fairly neurotic and not
particularly helpful. Wherever our minds are going,
our bodies and Physiology will follow.
So if the mind is disturbed, the breath becomes disturbed and
then that does something to the Physiology, It does something to
our organ functions, it does something to the energy that we
exude and express in the world. When our physiological state is
cared for and attended to through mind body practices,
through breathing practices, etcetera, it really helps our
minds become more coherent and integrated and calm.
And this will help you deal with your stability regardless of
what the situation is. So with all that, Pisces, I just
want to encourage you to do what you already know how to do,
which is breathe, and potentially to resource yourself
with any kinds of practices, teachers, teachings.
There are tons of free resources all over the Internet.
Embodied Astrology actually has a collection of over 100 guided
meditations on the Insight Timer, Lots of people who are
doing breath work and things like that all over the place.
The more that you can bring in coherence and integration
between your body, mind, and energy field, the more you're
going to be able to access what you need to access, when and
where you need to access it. OK, so Pisces, I want to pull a
card for you from the Luminous Void to close out our reading.
But before I do that, I want to tell you a little bit about
what's coming up at Embodied Astrology in Gemini season and
beyond. First of all, on June 13th we
have a special event with me, Blair Bogan, Alice Berkley Cat,
and Alicia Mauchy talking about querying astrology.
You might know Blair and Alice or Ace through their work with
astrology. Alicia is a community
coordinator at Embodied Astrology.
We are all people who think about astrology multi
dimensionally and creatively and we're really thinking about how
does astrology help us to do things creatively in the world.
Now, I think that Pisces are really trying to do some new and
different and creative things right now and astrology is going
to be an awesome tool for you. And if you already work with
astrology, you already know this.
If you're interested, maybe you're getting interested and
this will be some inspiration for you.
It is a live conversation, so if you attend live, you can join in
it with us and you can also always get the recording.
A week later on June 21st, which is the solstice, I'll be joined
by my friend and fellow astrologer Aaron Fogle for
another live event and conversation, which you'll also
be able to get the recording of or TuneIn with.
In our podcast for Cancer season, Aaron and I are going to
be talking about Chiron, and if these themes around wounding and
healing and being on a healing journey and really taking care
of our inner worlds resonate with you as something that you
want to bring attention to, you might enjoy that event as well.
We have a ongoing series the fourth Tuesday of every month
with Aziz Besants and guess the disease is bringing in from all
over the world. Aziz is focusing on the presence
of Saturn and Neptune in Aries in 2026.
Now Saturn and Neptune recently left Pisces where they were for
many years. Neptune was there for like 14
years, Saturn was there for 2 1/2 years and they came into
Aries both earlier this year and formed a conjunction which is a
once every 37 year event in a place in your chart that has to
do with value, values, self esteem, confidence and very much
your material stability and resources.
So a lot of what I was talking about just a few moments ago
have to do with the presence of Saturn and Neptune in your
second house. Now in Aziz series, he is
looking at spiritual warriorship as the theme of this planetary
alignment in Aries. And we are living in a time
where I believe all of us are being called to be spiritual
warriors in a lot of ways, to really be here in ways that
uplift and protect and defend and fight for love and life on
planet Earth. And one of the ways that Pisces
is going to do that most effectively is by working with
resource. This includes money, of course,
but it also includes any kind of materiality.
It includes your time, your energy, your attention, and it
definitely includes your life force and what it is that you
have to give. And so when you are very clear
about your values and when you give from a place that is
aligned and integrated with your values, you are supported in
really being in these times, in the ways that are going to best
serve a collective energy and strengthen you individually.
Aziz, a series is a great place to start to explore some of
those energies. I already mentioned to you our
membership, my moon day classes and chart reading cohort that's
beginning later this year. I hope to see you somewhere in
some of the embodied astrology spaces.
And let's call out into the void for you now, Pisces, I have to
go pick up my deck from over here.
All right, Oh luminous void, please support and assist us in
tuning in with the Pisces Collective in Gemini season.
What does Pisces need to know for this 4th house transit and
beginning of Mercury's retro shade and their fellow water
sign Cancer. Ace of Cups is what you pulled.
I'm showing the card on the video.
If you don't see the video, this is a watercolor painting above
and below this blue cup is the color red, and inside of the cup
is a rosy, dusky red. And the cup looks like a
chalice. And it also looks like the cup
is kind of steaming a little bit like these vapors are rising
from the cup. So the Ace of Cups is all about
the new feeling, and this is a new feeling that emerges inside
of any point of contact. Now, new feelings, of course,
are easy to feel when there's new people and new
relationships, but new feelings can also be accessed anytime we
have any amount of curiosity in presence.
And so the Ace of Cups coming through in your reading to help
us clarify and ground this reading to me really comes back
to this Venus, Jupiter Co presence in your 5th house in
Mercury's retrograde beginning there this season.
And what I want to say is that there is abundance for you,
Pisces. So regardless of what the world
is doing and all of its chaos and weirdness, there are so many
connections that are ready to meet you and love you.
There are so many places where you can connect that will pour
into your cup. And the way that you are going
to access this hydration and nourishment of the water realms
is to be present inside of them. And so this feeling of presence
is the curiosity and attunement that we bring to connection.
And so you might in this moment, just place your hand somewhere
on your body and you can even just like touch your fingers
together or something like that and really try to sense into the
point of contact. And as you do, you might feel
some new things, or you might feel things that are curious and
interesting. Like I'm just pressing my index
fingers together and I can feel my pulse and I can feel the
electricity of my fingers connecting with one another.
And that's so interesting. But it would be easy for me to
miss if I didn't pay attention to it and if I wasn't
intentional about it. So this card, as you're
culminating message from the universe for me, is an
invitation for you to really slow down, to pay attention, to
get curious about what new types of connections, what new types
of relationships are available for you.
All right, Pisces, I hope any or all of that feels supportive for
you this Gemini season and beyond.
If it does, please do support me and support my work.
You can do that by liking, commenting, following, and
subscribing. The best way to do that is by
sharing this work with your friends and your networks.
If you're watching on YouTube, please hype the video and let
the algorithm know you like it. Pisces, I appreciate you and I'm
wishing you all the best in Gemini season and beyond.
Bye for now.
