What a relief, whew, this is a month to enjoy. There are a lot of flowing aspects and very few difficult ones unless you have personal planets at 27 degrees of Capricorn up to 2 degrees of Aquarius then it’s not much fun. You’ve got a lot of transforming to do, ugh. But for the rest of us, we can breathe a sigh of relief.
Dates to Watch:
Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if you have a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) or the ascendant within 2 degrees of the degree of the transits listed below. If so, the transit will have a major impact on you.
June 2 – Venus Trine Neptune at 27 Cancer/Pisces. This is a good aspect for decorating your home or rearranging furniture. Education and long-distance travel are also favored. This is also the birthday of the not-so-famous astrologer, Janet Kane!
June 3 – Full Moon at 13 Sagittarius. The Sun is in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius. I love these two signs as they are all about learning, exploration, and adventure. This Full Moon is ruled by Jupiter and it emphasizes education and experience.
June 4 – Mercury Conjunct Uranus at 20 Taurus. Another great aspect. You could have some sudden innovative ideas today. Keep a notebook handy. These types of inspirations do not come along too often.
June 5 – Venus Enters Leo until July 22 when she turns retrograde at 28 Leo, then turns direct on Sep 3 at 12 degrees of Leo and stays in Leo until Oct 8. Venus is about love and Leo is about having a good time. This is a great time to join with others and celebrate life.
Venus Opposite Pluto at 0 degrees of Leo/Aquarius. Don’t rush headlong into an intimate relationship today. You could regret it. That person, who looks so dark and sexy, may be just dark. Careful.
June 11 – Pluto turns retrograde and backs up into Capricorn and stays in Capricorn until Jan 22, 2024. Pluto shows us the negative side of the sign he is in. In the last three months during his stay in Aquarius, we became aware of the dark side of technology, especially AI. We became aware of the dark side of large institutions, corporations and the Government when Pluto was in Capricorn for the last 20 years. Those kinds of issues will pop up during the rest of the year. Pluto is turning retrograde at 29 Capricorn so this degree is more powerful, obsessive and compulsive than usual because Pluto will stop at this degree before he turns retrograde. Make a note of this if you have any personal planets around 2 degrees of this point.
Mercury enters Gemini and stays there until June 26. Mercury is right at home in Gemini because he likes to talk just like Gemini and OH, how they like to talk! Beware of gossip and saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. Gemini is the archetype of Bugs Bunny, of course.
Mercury Trine Pluto at 0 degrees of Gemini/Aquarius. A beautiful aspect. When Pluto is good, he is very, very good. Someone out there admires you and may come in to give you some help today.
Venus Square Jupiter at 5 degrees of Leo/Taurus. Jupiter is never a bad guy, even though he tries sometimes. Here he just wants to eat ice cream and gain more weight. Not a good time to make a decision, because you are too optimistic and think everything will turn out alright. It may, or may not.
June 15 – Mercury Square Saturn at 7 degrees of Taurus/Pisces. Saturn doesn’t even try to be a good guy. With Mercury he has you worrying about your credit card bills, the taxes you owe, and the depressing people around you. I would like to tell you some upsides of this aspect, but I can’t think of any. Wait-- here it is--a very good day to do some editing on your not-so-great American novel.
June 17 – Saturn turns retrograde until Nov 4 when he turns direct at 0 degrees of Pisces.
To survive Saturn retrograde, it is important to focus on self-discipline, responsibility, and hard work. It is also a good time to reflect on past mistakes and learn from them
Overall, transiting Saturn retrograde is a time for introspection and reflection. It can be a challenging time, but it is also an opportunity to learn and grow.
OK, I cheated! The above interpretation is generated from AI. In time, all the astrologers will be replaced by AI. So will therapists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, and artists. Oh well, we had our day in the sun. To play with AI, go to perplexity.AI and put in your question and she will tell you anything you want to know. I consider her a she and also a Gemini because she knows everything, and when she was being tested they found that if she doesn’t know something she just makes it up.
June 18 – New Moon at 26 Gemini. This new moon is square Neptune. This is the beginning of the Gemini month, so start something new today around learning, teaching, and writing. Neptune will enhance your imagination but also create the urge for plagiarism.
June 21 – Sun enters Cancer until July 22. Cancer is a sign of home and family. The Sun will shine a light on that sign all month. This is a good time for a family reunion.
June 25 – Mercury Square Neptune at 27 Degrees of Gemini/Pisces. Gemini and Pisces are mutable signs-- so is Sagittarius. That means that sometimes or most of the time we don’t know if we are coming or going. Other people tend to push us around because we are too pliable. Well, with Mercury squaring Neptune in these signs, we are all the more confused than usual and easily manipulated.
June 26 – Mercury enters Cancer and stays there until July 11. Mercury is rational, but in Cancer, he is subject to emotional content sweeping through him. You could all get a bit weepy and irrational during this time.
Mars Square Uranus at 21 degrees of Leo/Taurus. Stay away from crowds as this is a volatile aspect. You could feel that your freedom is restricted. It is, but only for a week or so.
June 28 – Sun Trine Saturn at 7 degrees of Cancer/Pisces. Good time to start a new project. Also, it’s good for working with older people like me.
June 30 – Neptune turns retrograde until Dec 6 when he turns direct at 24 degrees of Pisces. Neptune rules Pisces so he is very strong in this placement. You may be able to see beyond the veil into other worlds at this time. Your sensitivity is heightened. You have a deeper appreciation of music and poetry.
Mercury trine Saturn at 7 degrees of Cancer/Pisces. Be realistic now. Start a budget. Make practical, long-range plans.
OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:
JUPITER this month moves from 3 degrees to 9 Taurus and will stay in Taurus until May 26, 2024. Jupiter is the big fat happy guy who is expansive in all things. In Taurus, he wants to buy property, build up this bank account and invest in growth stocks. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Taurus. This coming year can bring good luck and opportunities to the areas ruled by the natal Taurus house.
SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025. This month he starts at 6 Pisces and goes retrograde on the 17th at 7 Pisces and will stay there the rest of the month. Saturn rules your material world and especially your career. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 4 to 9 degrees of Pisces, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Pisces. Pisces is a creative dreamer. With Saturn here, he will try to solidify your dreams and fantasies.
URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026. This month he will move from 20 to 21 degrees of Taurus. This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (18 to 23 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before. Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus represents the Earth. Expect news about farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, or other major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus.
NEPTUNE is in Pisces until 2026. This month he will stay at 27 degrees of Pisces. If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 25 to 29 degrees of Pisces, you may lack focus during this time and just want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, or a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. For the rest of us, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces.
PLUTO is in Aquarius until March 11, 2043. This month Pluto starts the month at 0 degrees of Aquarius backs into Capricorn on the 11th and stays at 29 Capricorn for the rest of the month. He grinds away at our psyche, bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist, especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 27 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius. Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.
Enjoy this month.
