Astrology for June

June Celestial Events:

  1. Jun 3 – New Moon in Gemini, this new moon encourages expansion, imagination, and sharing ideas with others. While the Gemini energy supports connection and conversation with others, its opposite sign, Sagittarius, gives us important information about balance during this season, especially with Jupiter in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is about staying focused on the goal or target. Don’t spread yourself too thin.
  2. Jun 4 – Mercury enters Cancer adding a feeling tone, which influences our thinking.
  3. Jun 14Mars now in Cancer opposes Saturn in Capricorn. This is a good time to slow down, gather yourself internally, and review your actions. Are you headed in the direction you want to go? What needs adjusting or reconsidering? If one plows ahead without taking time to reflect on one’s directions and actions, then the world may abruptly stop you, or present obstacles. Any obstacles at this time carry a seed of important information for you.
  4. Jun 17Full Moon in Sagittarius, Sun in Gemini. This air fire elemental combination heats things up. A positive way to ritually honor this full moon is to reaffirm what has meaning in your life, to take up courage, optimism, and confidence toward your goals and pursuits. This full moon energy is in counterpoint to the strong contractive energy of the Saturn Pluto Mars alignment. Staying centered and observant of the arising energies with an eye toward your intention steers the way.
  5. Jun 18Mercury conjuncts Mars in Cancer as both oppose Pluto. Watch for heated communications or old issues resurfacing to be transformed or let go of. Be aware of any inner or outer agitation. Giving time for meditation and reflection will clarify what is trying to be transformed.
  6. Jun 21 – Summer Solstice, Sun enters Cancer. Solstices are times of pause and stillness. This Solstice carries the energy of both imaginative creativity and inclusiveness (Venus, Jupiter, Neptune alignment) as well as the experience of opposing factions, (Mars, Mercury, Saturn Pluto). We are called to step into imaginative and compassionate means to resolve and transform issues of conflict, along with speaking truth with clarity to power. It requires skillfulness and consciousness that serves to release us from the tightly held narrative of our conditioning, and the present world programming.
  7. July 2 – Solar Eclipse at 10 Cancer, not visible to those in the USA. (More on this to follow) Mars enters expressive Leo leaving sensitive Cancer

In June, be aware of the strength of retrograde Saturn and Pluto as they begin their conjunction in Capricorn. Their ultimate aim is to transform systems, structures and patterns, releasing what is no longer useful and clarifying and renewing through self- inquiry. Often this process can be likened to giving birth. They can provide us with courage, perseverance, and determination. Together they act to sweep away the old, face squarely the problems that remain, to harness power and develop mastery. Their shadow is oppressive control and polarization, heightening warring factions both within ourselves and without. With Mars now opposing Saturn and Pluto there is more intensity with the conflicts that live within us and in the society around us. Our challenge is to maintain our calm center as we walk through this time with greater clarity in our words and actions. Take time during this Solstice, to pause, and reflect. Tune into Jupiter in Sagittarius for positive and affirming intentions of expansion of consciousness, imagination, and meaning. We are on the edge of breaking through to broader dimensions of what it means to be human on this Earth.
