This Week’s Astrology: Full Moon in Libra + Venus Meets Pluto

This is one of those weeks where emotions peak… and the truth comes out.

If something’s been building in one of your key relationships, this could be the moment it reveals itself. We’re heading towards a powerful Full Moon in Libra, the sign of partnerships, balance and fairness, and it’s being activated by some intense energy.

Full Moon in Libra: Relationship Truths

Full Moons bring things to a head. They illuminate what’s been hidden and ask us to release what’s no longer working.

With this Full Moon in Libra, the focus is firmly on your one-to-one relationships. That could be romantic, business or even friendships.

Ask yourself:

• Where am I giving too much?
• Where am I accepting too little?
• What feels out of balance?
  

If a relationship is strong, this energy can deepen it. If something’s off, it’s likely to become very obvious.

Venus Square Pluto: Intensity, Power and Truth

This Full Moon comes with a twist.

Venus, the planet of love and money, is clashing with Pluto.

This can bring:

• power struggles
• emotional intensity
• buried truths rising to the surface
• issues around control, obsession or self-worth
  

If something has been simmering beneath the surface, this is when you may finally see it clearly.

Venus into Taurus: A Return to What’s Real

At the same time, Venus moves into Taurus, one of its home signs. This is a grounding influence. It brings a desire for:

• stability
• comfort
• sensuality
• real, lasting love and financial security
  

You may find yourself craving something more solid and meaningful now.

Mercury Trine Jupiter: Talk It Through

Here’s the good news. Mercury harmonising with Jupiter means communication flows more easily. This is your chance to:

• say what needs to be said
• have the conversation you’ve been avoiding
• find solutions and move forward

Even if things feel intense, there is real potential for breakthroughs.

What To Do This Week

• Notice where your life feels out of balance
• Let go of old emotional patterns or relationship dynamics
• Be honest with yourself about what’s really going on
• Choose what feels safe, solid and true
• Have the conversation, if you know it’s time
  

Final Thought

If something shifts this week, trust it.

Try asking:

What is this showing me about what I truly want?

Lilith Untamed, healing the feminine, and a powerful week of astrology

This week on the Mainly Moonology podcast, Yasmin is joined by astrologer Christina Rodenbeck, also known as the Oxford Astrologer. Together they explore the astrology of the week ahead and dive deep into one of astrology’s most fascinating archetypes: Black Moon Lilith.

If you’re feeling intense emotions, powerful insights, or a push to make real changes in your life, the astrology this week may well explain why.

The week begins with a beautiful and dreamy combination as Mars harmonises with Jupiter while the Sun meets Neptune. This energy can feel uplifting, imaginative and expansive. It’s ideal for dreaming big, visualising what you want to create and reconnecting with your intuition. Just be mindful of over-indulgence, because Neptune energy can blur boundaries and make everything feel a little bit hazy.

Later in the week the tone shifts as the Sun aligns with Saturn before forming a supportive connection with Pluto.

This brings the perfect moment to move from dreaming to planning. Saturn helps us get serious, organise our ideas and create a strategy. Pluto then adds the power of transformation, encouraging us to take action and start making real changes.

One of the most meaningful moments of the week comes when Venus meets Chiron, the wounded healer. This alignment invites us to look honestly at our relationships, our self-worth and our experiences of love. It can bring old wounds to the surface but also offers a chance for deep healing. In fact, this may be the final Venus-Chiron conjunction in Aries before Chiron leaves the sign, making it a symbolic moment for releasing long-held pain and choosing to move forward with greater self-understanding.

The conversation then turns to the larger backdrop of the year: the powerful Saturn–Pluto sextile. These two planets working together can bring real momentum for change. Saturn represents discipline, structure and effort, while Pluto represents deep transformation and the clearing away of what no longer serves. When they cooperate like this, it’s a reminder that meaningful change often comes through commitment and steady work.

Finally, Yasmin and Christina explore Black Moon Lilith, the focus of Christina’s new book Lilith Untamed. Lilith is not a physical body but a mathematical point in the Moon’s orbit, often associated with the untamed, wild or rejected aspects of ourselves. Christina describes Lilith as the part of us that refuses to conform, the raw and instinctive side of human nature that may be hidden beneath social conditioning.

The message for the week is clear: dream big, make a plan, do the work, and be willing to transform.

This week on the Mainly Moonology podcast, I’m joined by the incredibly talented artist behind the Dark Moon Oracle Cards, Lindsay Kokoska.

If you’ve seen the deck, you’ll know the artwork has touched people deeply. The response has been extraordinary. In this episode, we go behind the scenes and explore what it really takes to bring a mystical deck to life.

We talk about what happened when Hay House first approached her to illustrate a deck focused on the Dark Moon and divine feminine archetypes, especially since her personal work tends to focus on oneness, integration and the merging of light and shadow.

You’ll hear:

• How Lindsay approaches creating an oracle card deck
• Working with shadow work and Dark Moon energy
• The card she found most challenging to illustrate
• Why Nyx became one of her favourites
• What it’s really like to receive feedback from multiple editors and art directors
• The balance between creativity, motherhood and commercial deadlines
• How meditation, walking in nature and stepping away from the canvas are essential parts of her process
• The difference between commissions and licensing for artists
• Why she rarely gives faces to the women in her personal artwork
• Her perspective on oracle cards as a tool for guidance rather than prediction
  

We also talk about astrology, lunar living, the pull of the Dark Moon, and how working on this deck deepened her own understanding of Goddess energy.

Lindsay shares insights into:

• Living between Nova Scotia and Morocco
• How place influences artistic expression
• Creating as meditation
• Trusting intuition over external validation
• Making a living as a modern artist
  

If you’ve ever wondered how an oracle deck is actually created, or if you’re an artist yourself dreaming of bringing your own deck into the world, this conversation is full of wisdom and practical insight.

And if you already have the Dark Moon Oracle Cards, this episode will help you connect even more deeply with the energy behind the images.

In this special episode, I’m taking you back to a conversation I recorded a few years ago with one of the astrologers I admire most, Demetra George.

My fascination with the Dark Moon didn’t come from astrology school. It grew slowly over time, through being around magical women, healers, and seekers who understood that the quietest phase of the lunar cycle carries extraordinary power.

Everything truly crystallised when I read Demetra’s book Mysteries of the Dark Moon. I became determined to speak with her, and after a little persistence and quite a few emails, she finally agreed.

What followed was one of the most memorable conversations I’ve ever had about lunar wisdom, goddess traditions, and the ancient roots of astrology.

In this episode, we explore why the Dark Moon isn’t something to fear, what ancient astrologers really taught about feminine spirituality, and how this hidden phase of the Moon can be used for healing, insight, and renewal.

This conversation also feels especially timely as I prepare for the release of my Dark Moon Oracle Cards, now available for pre order.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Demetra George first became fascinated with goddess mythology and astrology.
• Why the Dark Moon represents withdrawal, regeneration, and the sacred pause before a new cycle.
• The inspiration behind Mysteries of the Dark Moon.
• The forgotten ancient name of the Third House as the House of the Goddess.
• How early astrological texts linked the Moon with women’s rites, dreams, and divination.
• Demetra’s interpretations of Medusa and Lilith and reclaiming feminine power.
• The symbolism of serpents, Kundalini energy, and feminine wisdom.
• How ancient priestesses used ritual, sexuality, and lunar timing for healing and regeneration.
• Why goddess traditions may not have vanished, but simply entered a hidden phase.
• Simple Dark Moon rituals you can try at home.
• Clearing your space, unplugging from stimulation, and inviting dreams and insight.
• How astrology can act as a form of remembrance rather than prediction.

Why this episode matters

This is a conversation about slowing down in a fast world.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to lunar cycles, goddess wisdom, or the quieter spiritual spaces between endings and beginnings, this episode is for you.

2026 is a big year astrologically. And that’s exactly why this isn’t the year to push harder, cram more in, or expect yourself to run on empty.

In this episode, I talk about how to plan the year ahead in a way that actually protects your energy rather than drains it. Because burnout doesn’t come from being lazy or unmotivated. It comes from poor pacing and unrealistic expectations.

If you want 2026 to be a year where you stay inspired, productive, and well, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore

• Why most people burn out even when they’re doing everything “right”
• The difference between planning and overloading yourself
• Why rest is a strategy, not a reward
• How to plan your year around energy rather than pressure
• The importance of knowing when not to push
• How the Moon naturally builds in action phases, pause points, and reset windows
• Why ignoring cosmic timing often leads to enforced stops
• How working with New Moons, Full Moons, and Quarter Moons can change how you feel day to day
• A simple way to make 2026 feel manageable instead of overwhelming

The big takeaway

You don’t need a perfect plan for 2026.

You need a kind one.

When you work with the Moon, you stop fighting yourself. You pace your ambition, protect your nervous system, and make space for real momentum without exhaustion.

Want help putting this into practice?

The Moonology Diary 2026 is designed to help you do exactly that.

It includes:

• A full astrology overview of the year ahead
• Monthly guidance so you know when to push and when to pause
• All New Moons, Full Moons, and Quarter Moons clearly marked
• Interpretations so you understand how to use each phase
• Access to my Kickstart 2026 workshop replay, where I share my full box of tricks for the year ahead

If you want 2026 to feel aligned rather than exhausting, this is your starting point.
