1. New moon in Gemini yesterday🌚

Sunday night/Monday morning (depending on your timezone) saw the new moon in Gemini occur. This is the only Gemini new moon of this year, and it’s also a supermoon (= amplified energy)! Astrologically, new moon is the start of a new cycle and as such symbolises new beginnings, it’s a good time to set intentions and plant seeds. Gemini is the sign of communication, connection, ideas, curiosity, perspective, and your social world, so it’s extra beneficial to focus on and explore new possibilities in those areas.

As mentioned above, George has a very air-dominated chart (Gemini is also an air sign), and this new moon trines his Aquarius sun; this highlights a highly compatible, intellectually stimulating period of several days-up to 2 weeks for him! He might unexpectedly meet someone important, or he might have a conversation that turns out to mean a lot later on🙂‍↕️🗣️

2. Jupiter moves into Leo on June 30th🌞

In two weeks’ time, Jupiter enters Leo; the last time it was in Leo was summer 2014-2015 so think of that crazy, wild energy. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance and prosperity, while Leo is the sign of identity, ego, warmth, and courage. Together, they form one the best transits happening this year🤩

It would be really beneficial to know George’s rising sign for this one, but alas… we can still work with the overall energies! This transit will invite a lot of confidence, heightened intuition, speaking your mind and living your truth.

For George, three things come to mind:

Being an Aquarius sun, I can see him collecting a lot of blessings during this time as Aquarius & Leo (sister signs) sun/moon/risings will be the most affected by this season. They’ve been having a hard time under Cancer Jupiter but will be coming out of their shells and the Universe will favour them. In general, expect to see more physical changes instead of the more emotional ones of the past year. (Maybe debuting a new hairstyle?💇)

With regards to his Aquarius mercury, we might see his communication style temporarily transform from his usual logical edge to a more flamboyant flair. This is a great time for public speaking and pitching creative ideas.

His natal Jupiter is in Pisces, and so this transit will represent a clash between his idealised, internal vision (Pisces) and the loud, expressive demand for external recognition (Leo). Pisces Jupiter seeks quiet, spiritual fulfillment, unseen acts of charity, and total surrender to the Universe. Meanwhile, the Leo transit demands visibility, structured creation, leadership, and bold self-flattery. Leo energy requires you to advocate for your worth, build a tangible platform, and stop giving your energy away for free. He will feel pushed out of his private comfort zone and into the spotlight (and I will also come back to this theme in the next section).

So all these coupled together suggest this might be a great time for him to advocate for himself and put forward new ideas! And I would say we’re starting to see a bit of that already, George has mentioned having serious talks with his side of the garage, especially regarding their internal communications & decision making🧎‍♀️‍➡️🙏

3. Saturn Return & Destiny Matrix 🪐

As mentioned earlier, George is going through his Saturn Return (SR) right now. SR is a coming-of-age period when Saturn returns back to the sign it was under when you were born, which happens every ~29 years. Because it stays in that sign for ~2.5 years, SR occurs around the ages of 27 to 30 (and 57 to 60, and 87 to 90) - this is when, astrologically speaking, you mature and reach ‘adulthood’.

Now, whenever I explain SR to someone they get scared, but it doesn’t have to be a necessarily bad/negative time. Saturn is the planet of discipline, limitations, authority and responsibility. In short, a lot of the existing foundations of your life get tested - relationships, career, your view of yourself, your independence and courage, ability to take decisive actions - and anything that doesn’t pass the test gets removed/transformed. Saturn strips away any illusions. That’s why it’s a challenging time for many people, as it may feel a lot of things around you are suddenly crumbling, even though it’s supposed to be for your greater good. (Ever wondered why the 27 Club is 27 and not 25, 29, or 31? Now you know.)

Obviously, we’ve seen other drivers win a WDC during their SR (Lewis in 2014, for example) so we know it’s not impossible; but we can see the tests, especially with regards to their careers & teams, happening for all 3 drivers currently going through theirs: George, Charles and Max. Saturn in Aries (a sign of fast, impulsive beginnings) specifically will challenge them to channel their fire with purpose rather than reacting impulsively, and their patience and resilience (lol, we love that word around here huh) will get tested the most. The important thing during a SR is to embrace your reality, prioritise your long-term goals and trust the process.

At the same time, Aquarius (his sun) is already ruled by Saturn - therefore, George is already used to a lot of the challenges that other people find debilitating and struggle with during this time. I would even be as bold as to predict this period won’t shake him up as much as it will Max and Charles, since he’s better prepared and has experienced these Saturn stresses throughout his life.

Destiny Matrix (DM) is more linked to numerology and your life path number, it’s entirely too complicated to explain here (I’m still learning how to interpret everything correctly myself) but I wanted to include this here for 2 specific reasons that tie into the above.

I like this analysis from @.theuia on TikTok so do check out her account if you want, but summary below:

George is currently in the 17 energy. XVII, or The Star, is a card associated with Aquarius; it’s also a card associated with extreme fame. Quite self explanatory but star = shine. It lets you shine, you will find yourself in the spotlight more. It offers a sense of hope, optimism, and a bright future.

The linked creator interprets it very positively, predicts George will have a great season and will either win the championship or come second, but it will be a generally positive time where his talent is recognised and rewarded.

However, something not mentioned in this video, is that XVII can also be interpreted as a loss of faith, having doubts, disconnect, feeling overwhelmed or uninspired, depending on whether it’s upright or reversed in our reading. I agree with the overall positive interpretation for this card, as I read it as such myself, but for example I got a new tarot deck recently and the booklet in it first mentions the negative aspects before the positive, so it just shows it’s not that straightforward. This, to me, directly ties in with his Saturn Return and the lessons he’s facing there, and the same advice applies here: he will need to be emotionally resilient through this time, and if he succeeds, he will reap the rewards.

+ Bonus, for anyone still reading and really into this topic: what I find the most interesting about his Destiny Matrix is his karmic tail 15-5-8 Betrayal/Family Passion. This karmic tail is tied to broken trust, power struggles and destructive desires. In past life, he either betrayed or had been betrayed. In this life, the cycle repeats until the lesson is learnt. This can suggest struggles with loyalty. Very interesting, given his complicated relationship with his dad but also now with Merc, his chosen racing family.

This is why I don’t really see him moving teams anytime soon, to be honest, nor do I think he should, as much as I like to talk shit about Merc. Staying loyal is extremely important to him and his karma in this lifetime.

4. Tarot readings & what every fan seems to be getting🔮

To me, both his SR and DM really tie in well with all the tarot readings I’ve been seeing around on my tl in the past couple of weeks. It seems like everyone is getting the same message when asking about George’s season - that the path might be rocky, but as long as he shows courage and endurance, the victory will be his in the end.
