June 2016 ~ "Heavy Hitters Converge"
When I was
growing up in NYC, I would revel in Major League Baseball games on TV and at Shea Stadium. Me and my Dad, along with some of my close friends, would obsessively follow our team. We had a special thrill when "heavy hitter's", the ones who would regularly whack the ball out of the park, would be up to bat (especially with men on base!)
I don't really follow
baseball anymore. Instead, my obsession with heavy hitters moved to the powerful outer planets :)
I often report about what the "personal planets" (the ones closest to us, with the quickest orbits) are doing. As relevant as these movements can be, they lend themselves to shorter-term, more superficial, experiences, when compared to transits with the
involvement of the "outer planets".
It is when the heavy hitters, the outer planets, that take a long time to move around their full orbits, converge, that really big things happen. There are two such convergences in June!
The first is a Square between
Saturn in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces. This transit occurs in its strongest expression between June 5 - June 18 (exact on June 18). The first time this aspect happened was November 27 - December 4, 2015. The story of this transit will reach its culmination during the third convergence, August 30 - September 21, 2016.
The "story" of the aspect will likely involve the conflict of fear vs. faith. Questions to ask to support the evolution of the story are:
Where are you placing too much trust, where it might not be well-placed?
Where are you not placing enough trust?
Where are your boundaries
too secure, not letting in things you have been wanting/trying to create?
Where do your boundaries/security need to be bolstered?
Many will experience these conflicts involving their personal information through websites, facebook/other social media, app's, etc. or security of other information, possessions, etc. Doing
things like changing passwords, avoiding unsecured internet connections, etc. are great preventative measures to implement before the aspects are strongest, if possible.
If you have had a "bad feeling" about someone or something, consider taking action to rectify the situation. This "rectification" can be done behind the scenes/in a
non-confrontational way.
The second convergence brings counterbalance to the stress of the previous one :)
The whole last week of June brings Jupiter, the bringer of luck, growth, and expansion, in the most coherent angle possible, a Trine, with Pluto, the
heaviest hitter of the solar system.
This is the third and final convergence of Jupiter and Pluto in this configuration. The first was in the middle of October 2015, and the second was in the middle of March 2016.
Look out for themes or stories
that move along that time period. It is very likely that the story will reach a powerful culmination with the final alignment in June.
Advancements and opportunities will come for many along the front of career/work/life purpose (from Pluto being in Capricorn which rules these areas) and in the arena of health/wellness/diet/the body-mind
connection, etc., daily quality of work/life experience, pets/animals (since Jupiter is in the sign of Virgo which rules these experiences).
Many will have a major health breakthroughs, gaining key information that will amp up wellness protocols tremendously. Pluto rules investigation and research so in this angle to Jupiter, it can bring important information to
light.
Improvements, advancements, and opportunities will also likely come in other areas of life. See the houses in your personal chart to see which other areas will be highlighted with this convergence.
It is also at the end of June that the long Mars retrograde,
concludes its most active portion of the transit. Mars was in retrograde since April 17 and turns direct June 29 (with a shadow period that started in the middle of February and extends well into August).
This transit brought for many a decrease in energy levels, and a slow down for things on many fronts, as well as the reappearance of some
powerful emotions and patterns that were previously swept under the rug (get the full scoop on what is great to do during Mars retrograde and what it is prudent to avoid through my blog on the topic at AnnieHelpsYou.com and my video on the topic at www.AnnieHelpsYouTV.com)
While July won't see Mars yet in its full power, it is holds a great opening for activating, agreeing, moving forward, with the opportunities that present themselves in June. If you can hold off on any final agreement or decision until into July, that would be better
:)
As of June 8, the Mercury retrograde shadow period ends and that energy will be clear until into August :)
Check out more June Highlights:
**
Note that often the effects of planetary transits are felt before or after the actual day that the transit occurs.
June 4 -- New Moon at 14 degrees of Gemini -- Make your New Moon wishes on the topics of Gemini, including: communication and devices, mobility and transportation, siblings/cousins/uncles/aunts (basically
relatives who are not your kids or parents), and writing/editing/sharing information.
June 5-18 -- Saturn in Sagittarius Square Neptune in Pisces -- This transit highlights the battle between "Reality" and "Illusion". Issues of "security" of private information are a keynote here.
June 13 -- Neptune goes retrograde in Pisces -- Neptune is comfortable in retrograde and is favorable for those doing healing and artistic work.
June 20 -- Full Moon at 29 degrees of Sagittarius -- Fullness, completion, fruition
comes in the areas of Sagittarius, including: writing, publishing, teaching, learning, international travel/business/or other relations, and religion/religious institutions.
June 23-30 -- Jupiter in Virgo Trine Pluto in Capricorn (exact on June 26) -- Expansion meets transformation bearing major, yummy fruit. One note about this transit
additional to what I mentioned earlier is that although I expect most manifestations of this transit to be supremely positive, there is an issue of integrity/morality that can be variable with this combination. Things can be very easy for everyone and not everyone will use the possibilities with the best intentions :(
June 29 -- Mars goes direct in Scorpio -- After months of shadow and retrograde the planet that rules forward movement, romantic connections, and your oomph will start to regain strength.
