Amalia Golomb-Leavitt returns to the Maia Games for an almost midyear check in on how each of us is experiencing the unfolding cosmic curriculum this year so far a season after releasing the Cosmic Context of 2026 series.

Venus ties it all together, this year from the oceanic background. After a long, conclusive intro to close out the series, this episode connects me with my Venus ruled friend, former mentee, peer collaborator, and colleague in embodied cosmos, Amalia Golomb-Leavitt.

Vince joins in on the Game commentary to focus on key player in the Maia: Mercury. We explore Mercury's role this year as psychopomp in water - slinging webs across realms, carrying reminders from depths otherwise out of focus, and doing the calculus level awareness computations.

See the timestamps at the bottom of these notes for a focused look at each Mercury Rx period in 2026.
