STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family

This week is about as much of a vibe shift as it gets: We have Venus, Mercury, and the Sun all moving from Gemini into Cancer (in that order), immediately followed by a Full Moon in Capricorn. On the heels of a Gemini season that wanted to run outside and play, Cancer season is a little more about turning to our inner selves, nurturing our foundations at home, and for parents, doubling down on all the wonderful Cancerian traits that are so intimately woven into the experience of caring for kids and cultivating a home for our families (both literal and emotional).We're also talking about what the Capricorn/Cancer axis has to say about parenting. (It's a lot. Maybe everything.)To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

This week’s astrology promises both stops and starts, breakdowns and breakthroughs. That’s Gemini season, baby: sometimes erratic, always dynamic, and never boring. And all the action of the week feels designed to excavate the way we’re thinking and taking action in our lives and relationships, all leading up to a little ah-ha moment on Friday.

We don't call Saturn "Sky Daddy" for nothing. Today, we're publicly posting our daily reading from the app for two reasons: First, it's just a rough weekend of astrological weather out there and we want to talk about what it means for parents, and also we wanted to just show everyone what our daily audio readings in the app are like. This is what we do every day, alongside brief written readings that are specific to you and unique daily readings for each of your kids based on their astrology. This is what the audio part of that sounds like!To read your and your kids' daily horoscopes for today, along with the detailed weekly overview, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the website: https://starchild.app/iPhone and iPad apps: https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchild

Why is the 2nd half of this episode so much better than the first half? Gemini season, baby — it took a minute to get focused. This week, we've got: Mon, May 27: Mercury in Taurus sextiles Saturn in PiscesWed, May 29: Mars conjoins Chiron in AriesFri, May 31: Mercury conjoins Uranus in TaurusSun, June 2: Jupiter in Gemini trines Pluto in AquariusNote from Jessica: "During that whole "your kid's Pluto sign is such a big deal" rant, I definitely didn't make it clear enough that it's not a huge signifier of their personality individually, but rather a major part of what defines them as a generation collectively. Or maybe that was clear! Tis the season to over-explain yourself!"

We're talking about how Gemini season is a masterclass in all the things that make parenting so challenging — and all the skills that we need most to get through it. We'll also unpack in detail exactly why this week's Full Moon in Sagittarius is so extremely nice? This week is a total vibe shift in the year. If you've been kinda bored up until now, prepare for that to stop this week.Full Moon in Sagittarius + the Jupiter/Venus conjunction starts around 13:00.

The STAR/CHILD podcast is about all things astrology and parenting: weekly readings about the astrology of the week, tailored for life with kids, plus deep dives into all the ways astrology can help us examine family relationships: with our kids, co-parents, with our own parents and siblings, and all the people in our lives who feel like family.What does our own astrology say about how we show up to these relationships, and how does a kid's astrology speak to what they need to feel safe, secure, and supported? How do we not mess up our kids like we maybe got messed up as kids? And how does the astrology of each day set us up to get through it all together? That's what we'll get into here.Hosted by STAR/CHILD founder, Jessica Blankenship.Download the STAR/CHILD app on iOS and Android:https://apps.apple.com/fm/app/star-child/id6475495211https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starchild.starchildOr sign up on our website (and get all the same stuff as the app!)https://starchild.app/
