June 2017 ~ Full Speed Ahead
We continue gliding through our open window, free from
retrogrades of personal planets and their shadows. This open window continues through July 24 and although there are some spots to watch out for, there is much support for bursting creations out into the world.
Lots of energy
in Gemini brings much motion and a match of abundant energy in Cancer brings emotion. Both of these energies bring great support to moving full speed ahead.
Mars, the burly God of War, ruling action,
moving through the introspective and emotional sign of Cancer makes me think of a really big and muscular guy with huge hands trying to sit comfortably at a kid-sized table and have a proper tea party. This image also shows the tremendous power of Mars sitting behind the emotions at this time. Keeping emotionally-centered and using emotions as forces for productive
forward movement is the key this month.
Even with the awkwardness of this placement and the many conflicts between thinking Gemini and feeling Cancer this month, there are excellent aspects (some of the best in the whole year!)
for forward motion in general and much support for travelers, writers (and other prolific expressors), and artists.
Look forward to sweet and supportive energies on or near: June 1, 3, 9, 13, 18, 20, 21, 24, 26, and 28. Expect some
high and challenging emotions and other challenges on or near: June 3, 4, 15, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, and 29.
Check out more June Highlights:
** Note: often the effects of planetary transits are felt before or after the actual day the transit occurs.
June 1 — Venus in Aries Trine Saturn in Sagittarius — Venus represents love, beauty, and money. Saturn
represents long-term efforts of importance in any area of life and also business ventures. I love this day for locking in anything important under any of these subjects.
June 3 — Venus in Aries Conjunct Uranus in Aries — Surprise in love or money is likely at this time, for better or for worse. It is fantastic for chance meeting with someone with whom you could share love or money magic. By nature of Uranus this meet up tends to fizzle
quickly but leave an impression. Because Saturn in great angle with Jupiter just days before this, the possibility that a powerful meeting or occurrence could ground in to become long-term in nature.
June 3 — Sun in Gemini Trine Jupiter in Libra — This aspect can bring fantastic support and
expansion to creativity, health, and self-esteem. Jupiter by nature is excessive so there is the chance for expansion with diminishing returns but if some boundaries are set and kept, a beautiful energy for most things.
June 4 — Sun in Gemini Square Neptune in Pisces — Neptune in a challenging
angle like this can bring confusion or disappointment. Coupled with with the aspect the Sun has the previous day with Jupiter could represent the fear that comes after a wonderful idea or opportunity presents. There is so much great energy this month for moving forward. The likely effect of this line-up of aspects will be to feel the fear, honor the intuition, and do it anyway while taking into consideration protection measures for the
venture.
June 9 — Full Moon in Sagittarius — Fullness, completion, fruition, exaltation comes to all things Sagittarius. A beautiful aspect with Uranus brings random support and brilliant ideas and a conjunction with Saturn can brings a reality check but also simultaneous increase in potential of support from authority figure
or a stable and wise helper. Travel abounds and communication and expression reaches an all-time high. Long-term ventures are well-supported at this time.
June 9 — Jupiter Direct in Libra — This is a time for everyone (especially those with importantly-placed Sagittarius) to rejoice.
Jupiter in retrograde definitely is still working to bring expansion and growth but the mood is much less sparkly without in his full power. Increased luck and enthusiasm usually come with this direct movement. Jupiter regaining full strength in its movement through Libra brings a robust focus and expansion of personal relationships.
June 9 — Venus in Taurus Sextile Mars in Cancer — This is a lovely, romantic, sensual, emotional meet-up. Even though Mars isn’t completely comfortable in this sign, it is a great chance for heart-to-heart’s that could open up intimacy and more joy.
June 13 — Mercury in Gemini Trine Jupiter in Libra — This aspect is a true writers (or anyone else who communicates for their work or other expression) delight. I love this time for launches for books, blog sites, or anything else related to the energy of sharing information. As always, these energies blend so beautifully and in such an expanded way, they can be driven to exhaustive excess, but it will be worth the effort to bring
things out into the world at this time.
June 15 — Sun in Gemini Opposing Saturn in Sagittarius — Here is more of the tired and scared energy that tends to follow any big expansion. Putting oneself out into the world can be absolutely terrifying. This is a great opportunity to keep your eye
on the big vision and ignore any criticism that is not helpful to bringing about the bigger goals.
June 16 — Neptune Retrograde in Pisces — Neptune retrograde is the recluses delight and marks a time when many will find they need more alone time. It is a fantastic time for artists of any medium
(words included) to reevaluate their style and go back to some old ways of doing their work that have been lost or changed over time. It is great news for anyone who wants to kick a bad habit or addiction but it can be stressful for those who are in denial about it. An empowering plan includes a raw look at your circumstances and really listening to those who love you in a new way. If people are telling you, “You have a problem with …”, you probably do, and to reach your
highest potential it might be time to put your ego aside and do something productive to move past it.
June 18 — Sun in Gemini Sextile Uranus in Aries — This is a magical combination that brings surprise insights or expression. Doing something different is usually supported by this
transit.
June 18 — Mercury in Gemini Opposing Saturn in Sagittarius — Saturn represents the energy of father/father figure/authority in the chart. It is very possible that the urge to express something unique from the transit with the Sun and Uranus this same day is not supported by someone with a critical eye close to you.
The fact that for Americans this is Father’s Day is sort of a cosmic joke. I see the potential for much of the typical gathering for Father’s Day and Dad being super-annoying about something important causing stress and drama. The flip-side to this is that even though parents can be annoying and off-base about many things, kids often find over time that with many things, they were actually right. Very often under the stern exterior of parents there are super-concerned,
caring, people who would do anything for their kids. These transits together are a great time to try to find the balance and reach a happy medium. Also note that sometimes this authority energy comes in the form of a very strong Mom who played or co-played the Father role.
June 20 — Venus in Taurus
Sextile Neptune in Pisces — I love this combination of grounded Taurus and Venus in its own sign, in a beautiful angle with dreamy Neptune in its own sign. Formless meets form in a wonderful way at this time.
June 20 — Mercury in Gemini Sextile Uranus in Aries — Expression is
given a major boost by the lightning strike energy of Uranus. Unique ideas and actions gain beautiful support.
June 21 — Sun in Cancer Conjunct Mercury in Cancer — This is a super-sentimental pair-up. Lots of tears are likely either from beautiful heart connections and sharing or feelings
feeling and vulnerable or both. It is a beautiful time to connect with family and the feeling side of life.
June 23 — New Moon at almost 3° of Cancer — This emotional New Moon is also opposing Saturn, making a Sextile to Uranus, and Squaring Chiron. Full Moons in water signs tend to pack an enhanced
emotional punch but this one as the Moon is full in its own sign, takes the cake. Lots of tears are likely, a potential for happy tears included. The aspects with Saturn and Chiron increase the chance for the bringing up of old wounds but the aspect to Uranus sprinkles in an increased likelihood of a sudden insight that helps to bring healing.
June 24 — Venus in Taurus Trine Pluto in Capricorn — The power of unseen forces become visible as they support financial and relationship efforts.
June 25 — Mars in Cancer Square Jupiter in Libra — Mars moving
awkwardly through Cancer reaches a roadblock at this time. Expansion will likely be temporarily held up creating frustration. The energy will move in fits and starts throughout the rest of the month.
June 26 — Mars in Cancer Trine Neptune in Pisces — Movement gets a boost back into a
groove with this placement of resonance.
June 27 — Mercury in Cancer Square Jupiter in Libra — Communication gets challenged, especially if it is trying to expand too much too soon.
June 28 — Mercury in Cancer Conjunct Mars in Cancer — Emotions hit another high with this transit. This transit is a temporary accord but there are more challenges ahead.
June 29 — Mercury in Cancer
Opposing Pluto in Capricorn — The communication flow of earlier in the month is continuing to hit some major resistance at this time. Try to only make decisions from a clear place during this time.
