“We live in a magical universe and we just spent the last three centuries pretending that we didn’t”. Gordon White
We are in the sign of Gemini now. Not only do we have the Sun in Gemini, but also Mercury and Venus. I have some advice for the Sun, Moon, or Ascendant Geminis out there. Most people don’t understand how our thinking works or if it works at all and we are constantly being picked on about our monkey minds. Here are some comebacks you can use when you are being bullied, badgered, and abused by those fixed and cardinal signs*. When others say to you that you are not consistent, use this quip from our literary Gemini brother, Ralph Waldo Emerson..
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
Here is another response to borrow from fellow Gemini, Walt Whitman when others accuse you of contradicting yourself.
‘So I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)’
Synchronicity Alert. I was writing this on May 24, Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday and I clicked on Spotify to listen to his latest album ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways and the first song that popped up was called “I Contain Multitudes”. I love paying attention to synchronicities and the more you acknowledge them, the more they occur. It feels like the universe was winking at me. Happy Birthday to Bob Dylan, a fellow Gemini.
*Fixed Signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Cardinal Signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn

Mercury is traveling retrograde until Jun 22. He turned retrograde last month on the 29th. He is in Gemini the sign that he rules so let’s try an experiment. Instead of worrying about snafus while he is retrograde let's imagine a roller coaster ride that is fun and positive. While Mercury is retrograde in Gemini he is squaring Neptune the planet of fog and confusion. Also, we just experienced a Total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius/Gemini and we will have another Eclipse in Gemini on June 10th. We are in a very changeable period. Try to stay grounded during this time.
Dates to Watch:
Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you. The personal planets are Sun, Moon, Mercury Venus, and Mars.
Jun 2 – Venus enters Cancer until the 27th of June. Venus here is tender and vulnerable. We tend to take everything personally. We can be deeply devoted to our loved ones, but irrational and easily triggered.
Jun 3 – Sun Trine Saturn at 13 Gemini/Aquarius. A beautiful trine that indicates service to others, helping the elderly, and new projects that increase in value for a long time to come. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 11 to 14 Gemini or Aquarius, start something today that you plan on working on and evolving over the years.
Venus trine Jupiter at 1 degree of Cancer/Pisces. Another great trine. Trines don’t force you to do anything, so on this one, you can just dream the day away. But if you are involved in the arts in any way, this is a good day to start a new project in that area. Impacts those of you with personal planets or the ascendant at 29 degrees of Gemini or Aquarius through 3 degrees of Cancer or Pisces
Jun 5 – Mercury Square Neptune at 23 degrees of Gemini/Pisces. This aspect could lead to an overactive imagination that can interfere with your logical processes. This can result in self-deception and the construction of your own little bubble where you have a private version of what is real. But this can be a positive aspect where we can daydream into existence what we want to bring forth in our life. This impacts those of you with personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 25 degrees of Gemini or Pisces.
Mars Opposite Pluto at 26 Cancer/Capricorn. The God of War is in conflict with the God of the underworld. It’s like the cops going after the mafia. Mars is weak in Cancer and Pluto can be pretty tough in Capricorn. The underworld wins on this one. This can also represent the energy that wants to confront our deep psychological problems or to fight with a sociopath. Sorry, the sociopath will win on this one. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 Cancer or Pluto, you will have a battle with the dark side.
Jun 10 New Moon Solar Eclipse at 19 Gemini. Check my Eclipse Report for more information on this eclipse.

Sun Conjunct Mercury at 20 Gemini. The Sun is shining a light on our minds and how we express ourselves. You could get very ambitious now. It’s time to write your resume.
Jun 11 – Mars enters Leo until the 29th of July. Mars loves it in fire signs like Leo. He rules the fire sign of Aries. He likes to move ahead and accomplish something, but he can run over you while he is barging ahead. Don’t protest too much, he is the God of War and loves a battle. In Leo, he wants to find a place or a vocation where he can outshine everyone else. We may get a boost of confidence during this time.
Jun 13 – Sun Square Neptune at 23 Gemini/Pisces. These are both mutable signs so neither Gemini nor Pisces knows where they are going. They just run around in confused chaotic circles. Here they do a magical dance together creating fantasies and stories as they go along. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 Gemini or Pisces, crank up your creative juices.
Jun 14 – Saturn Square Uranus at 13 Aquarius/Taurus. This is the second of this major aspect. It is the most important aspect we will have this year. The first time we had this square was in Feb and the last one will be in Dec 2021. This aspect denotes limitations on freedom as we see on all of the Twitter and YouTube posts that have been taken down. This also denotes tension between liberal and conservative ideas. In our personal lives, we are torn between taking off on a new adventure and changing our life to give us more freedom (Uranus) vs staying in our comfort zone (Saturn). If you have strong Uranus placements in your chart and a lot of Aquarius planets you may opt for the former. If you have a lot of Taurus planets and a strongly placed Saturn you may stay with the tried and true. This is a time to deal with what is no longer working and to fix it once and for all. Impactful if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 11 to 15 Aquarius/Taurus.
Jun 20 – Sun Enters Cancer until the 22nd of July. Happy Birthday to all of the Cancer’s out there. This is the time for family and food. Cancer types really love to sit around the yard with the family with the barbeque grill smoking away.
Jupiter Retrograde until October 18, 2021. Jupiter rules expansion, growth, adventure, and good luck. But he can be too much of a good thing. When he is retrograde, you can look to see if Jupiter is totally out of control in your life. Do you eat too much, drink too much, or spend too much? l During this retrograde you will have the chance to finally take control of Jupiter and overcome addictions, and negative habits. Jupiter rules belief and you know that ‘Belief is the death of Intelligence’. Look at your belief systems while Jupiter is retrograde and try to get “Real”. Jupiter is now in Pisces which rules oil and gasoline, so we may see the price of fuel increase which could cause food prices to increase which ties into another transit we are having now: Uranus in Taurus, the sign that rules food and the planet of change.
Jun 21 – Venus Trine Neptune at 23 degrees of Cancer/Pisces. You feel very cuddly and warm and would like an ideal love with a partner. Since Venus and Neptune favor the arts, I would go paint a picture or write a song instead. This impacts those with personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 degrees of Cancer or Pisces.
Jun 22 – Mercury turns direct at 16 Gemini. Wait a few days before you celebrate and order stuff from Amazon. Instead, try to fix the relationships you screwed up because of your miscommunications. You may feel nervous and out of sorts today if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 14 to 18 degrees of Gemini or Sagittarius.
Jun 23 – Sun Trine Jupiter at 2 degrees of Cancer/Pisces. This aspect can present financial and educational opportunities. We gain a lot of confidence today, so go for it. This impacts personal planets or the ascendant at 0 to 4 degrees of Cancer or Pisces.
Venus Opposite Pluto at 26 degrees of Cancer/Capricorn. The story is that Persephone was out picking flowers; she was a real snowflake and just didn’t want to grow up. But it was time to get married and get real. Zeus, tell his brother Hades, that he can have Persephone for his wife. Well you know the story, up comes Hades in a black chariot and abducts Persephone to the underworld. Now some see this as a tragedy. I don’t, I see it as a morality tale about holding on to one stage of life too long. Come on Persephone, stop playing around and grow up. Are you still holding on to someone, something, or some image of yourself that it is time to eliminate? This aspect impacts all of us, but especially those with personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn.
Jun 24 – Full Moon at 3 degrees of Capricorn. This Full Moon makes a lovely sextile to Jupiter. This will make Capricorn more optimistic than usual and that is not an easy task. Capricorn likes to work so this can be the most constructive Full Moon this year.
Jun 25 – Neptune turns retrograde at 23 Pisces and stays retrograde until December 1, 2021. When any planet changes direction, we notice an intensification of the areas connected to that planet. When Neptune goes retrograde, it brings up old memories, dreams, fantasies, and longings to the surface and challenges us to deal with them.
Jun 27 – Venus enters Leo until July 21. This is a very romantic and creative aspect. During this time we want to declare love to our insignificant other or to the whole world. Our heart is full. “Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year”. - Millay
OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:
JUPITER is in Pisces, turns retrograde on June 20 of 2021, and heads back into Aquarius from the end of July until Dec 30, 2021. This month Jupiter moves from 1 to degrees of Pisces. Jupiter is about growth and expansion especially in travel and education and also in the area of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Pisces. Jupiter in Pisces is about our dreams of a better future. If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 29 degrees of Aquarius, and 4 degrees of Pisces, expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.
SATURN is in Aquarius where he will stay until Mach of 2023. This month he is moving retrograde and will travel from 13 to 12 degrees of Aquarius. Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius. So he is happy here. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 10 to 15 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict all of the social media that he will call fake news. He hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.
URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026. This month he is moving from 12 to 13 degrees of Taurus. You will feel a need for freedom and for making some radical changes in your life at this time. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, ( 10 to 15 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, move or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth. Expect earth events such as earthquakes volcanos or major weather events during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.
NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month Neptune goes retrograde on the 15th. He will stay at 23 degrees. A lack of focus, a sense of drifting, or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the ascendant or Personal Planets at 21 to 25 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out during the time Neptune is in Pisces.
PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023. This month, Pluto is moving retrograde and stays at 26 degrees of Capricorn all month. Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 24 to 28 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?
Wishing you a beautiful spring.
