Cancer Season 2026 Rising Sign Horoscopes (Part 2) | Chiron in Taurus, Mercury Retrograde & Jupiter in Leo

I welcome you to Living the Spiral for part two of my Cancer season 2026 rising sign horoscopes, and I explain why rising signs are the most accurate way to track how the season lands in your real life (and where to find yours), while noting part one covers Cancer’s history, Human Design gates, and the season’s major transits. Then I move sign by sign, tying Cancer season to the house it activates for each rising sign and highlighting the big dates: Chiron entering Taurus on June 19 (an ~8-year healing journey), the Capricorn full moon on June 29, Mercury retrograde in Cancer from June 29–July 23, Jupiter entering Leo on June 30 (a year of expansion), and the Cancer new moon on July 14 as a fresh seeding moment. I wrap by sharing where to listen, subscribe, book readings, and grab my Cancer season guidebook.

Cancer Season 2026: The Fierce Embraceif you want to go deep into your own chart and how this season lands for you personally, my books are open for Soulshine Readings at hearthandspiral.com.

The crab is older than you think. This episode traces the sign all the way back to Babylon and Sumer, through the Thema Mundi -the ancient world chart with Cancer rising - and into the Human Design gates of the season and the transits of a busy, electric summer.

We cover Chiron entering Taurus, a very full end of June (full moon, Mercury retrograde, and Jupiter into Leo all in one day), the Mars-Uranus conjunction on July 4th, and the New Moon in Cancer on July 14 in the Gate of Details.

The season's invitation is to go dark enough to find out what's incubating inside you. Come home before Leo season's stage calls you out..

In this episode of Living the Spiral: Magicians, your host Alison Dale interviews astrologer and community builder Britten LaRue. She's the creator of Emergence Astrology, author of the book Living Astrology, and host of Moon to Moon podcast. Alison and Britten chat about magic as change and the willingness to be moved by it. They discuss skill as a Saturnian devotional practice developed over time, “voice” as the sum of our choices and boundaries, and one of Britten’s guiding phrases, “there’s no such thing as potential, there’s only emergence,” as an antidote to shame and striving. The conversation contrasts astrology as a living language with predictive approaches, distinguishes divination from fortune-telling, and connects desire, unshaming, and self-trust to magical practice.

Britten shares her path from academia to astrology after a mystical period of intuition and lunar guidance, and she describes restructuring her offerings, clarifying Living Emergence as a community space and Emergence Astrology Pathway as a multi-year school.

In this Living the Spiral: Magicians episode, host Alison Dale frames magic as making the invisible visible through attention and intention. She interviews Rachel Simon Stark, founder of Widening Circles Collaborative, about ancestral reclamation, cultural repair, and collective liberation. Rachel describes being contacted in 2018 by her grandmother Ruth during a rock-bottom period, which initiated Rachel’s ancestral work and led to her nine-week course Cultivating Culture that emphasizes grounding, guided tools, community processing, and service. Drawing on urban planning’s focus on belonging, Rilke’s “Widening Circles,” and identity as a fluid river, she discusses chosen ancestors, more-than-human ancestors, boundaries rather than walls, and meeting ancestors in their wholeness. The conversation addresses trauma, shame vs humility, colonialism and indigeneity, being future ancestors, releasing victimization into agency, and Rachel’s plan to offer the course again around October/Samhain.Thanks for tuning in!

Hey friends, happy New Moon in Taurus. We’re 2 weeks out from that potent full moon in Scorpio… how are you all doing out there? How did that lunation show up for you?

This new moon is conjunct the Medusa Star and happens on the same day that Mars meets Chiron. So while it’s not necessarily gentle, it’s still exalted in Taurus, and the gate that it’s falling in is a deep reminder of the power of our personal agency, care, and contributions.

Thanks for liking, sharing, and reviewing Living the Spiral- it truly helps me to reach more people and continue writing and recording this labor of love.

The Full Moon in Scorpio and the Season of Speaking Your Truth

Sign up for the Beltane Ritual next Tuesday at 5pm MST here!I'd love to invite you to my May 5 Zoom ritual “Blossoming into Beltane” (somatic work, a bit of vocalizing, creative practice, and cross-cultural Beltane teachings).

In this full moon episode I riff on the Taurus–Scorpio axis as security and intimacy (throat and genitals) and track it through Human Design: Moon in Gate 44 (alertness/“coming to meet,” splenic instinct, ancestral pattern-recognition) and Sun in Gate 24 (rationalization, getting out of mental loops into invention and silence). I also ground Beltane as a Gaelic fire festival (bonfires, maypole, flowers, fertility) opposite Samhain/Halloween, and share my course “Your Heart is a Compass,” weaving the Wheel of the Year with G-center gates, Inanna dream symbolism, and practices like coherent breathing.00:00 Scorpio Full Moon Welcome01:24 Mayday Timing Clarified02:15 Beltane Ritual Invite03:25 Finding Your Voice05:49 Wheel Polarity Taurus Scorpio09:19 Gate 44 Meeting Shadows12:47 Gate 24 Mind to Silence15:19 Instinct and Reason Integration20:07 Beltane Origins and Traditions23:31 Heart Compass Course Vision31:51 Why We Need New Maps34:26 Grounding Practices and Closing
