New
Moon Jun 8 at 11:56 AM EDT/ 8:56 AM PDT at 18 Gem 00. Quietly approaching
Jupiter at 26 Gem.
Full
Moon Jun 23 at 7:32 AM EDT/ 4:32 AM PDT from 2 Cap 09. Sun also conjuncts
Jupiter at 29 Gem and they form a corner of a Grand Water Trine with Saturn
retro at 5 Scor and Neptune retro at 5 Pisc. Enjoy this respite (if there
is one) just before the Sun hits the Uranus/Pluto square (see July).
Planetary
Changes:
Neptune
Stationary turning Retrograde Jun 7 at 4:24 AM EDT/ 1:24 AM PDT at
5 Pis 22. Intensifying both a Moon-Mars squaring Neptune from 2-5 Gem,
and an exact Grand Water Trine with Venus at 5 Can and Saturn retro at
5 Sco. A watery time good for soaking but probably not for clear assertive
action or choices.
Chiron
Stationary turning Retrograde Jun 16 at 5:17 AM EDT/ 2:17 AM PDT at
13 Pis 50.
Mercury
Stationary turning Retrograde Jun 26 at 9:07 AM EDT/ 6:07 AM PDT at
23 Can 06.
Venus into
Cancer Jun 2 at 10:12 PM EDT/ 7:12 PM PDT.
Sun into
Cancer Jun 21 at 1:03 AM EDT/ Jun 20 at 10:03 PM PDT.
Jupiter
into Cancer Jun 25 at 9:39 PM EDT/ 6:39 PM PDT.
Venus into
Leo Jun 27 at 1:03 PM EDT/ 10:03 AM PDT.
Key
Aspects:
Mercury
opposes Pluto retro Jun 7 at 6:03 PM EDT/ 3:03 PM PDT from 10 Can
52. Commencing the march of Mercury, Venus, Sun, and Jupiter as they each
form a Cardinal T-Square with Uranus at 12 Ari and Pluto retro at 11 Cap
(see below). Possible travel problems or words can cause trouble.
Mars
squares Neptune retro Jun 7 at 7:57 PM EDT/ 4:57 PM PDT from 5 Gem 22.
Moon also at 10 Gem. There may be ways to escape for a while the pressures
of the Uranus-Pluto square, but they may not be obvious.
Mercury
squares Uranus Jun 8 at 2:47 PM EDT/ 11:47 AM PDT from 11 Can 55. At
the New Moon (see above), try original thinking, speaking the truth.
Venus
opposes Pluto retro Jun 11 at 6:08 PM EDT/ 3:08 PM PDT from 10 Can 47.
Now Venus’ turn. These passes are also in sensitive areas of the US
chart. The value of reform, and if that doesn’t work, the value of
destruction.
Venus
squares Uranus Jun 12 at 6:48 PM EDT/ 3:48 PM PDT from 12 Can 02. (see
above)
Sun
conjuncts Jupiter Jun 19 at 12:10 PM EDT/ 9:10 AM PDT at 28 Gem 32.
Relax, breathe in that bigger perspective. Trining Moon and Saturn retro
at 5 Scor, and Neptune retro at 5 Pisc, offering grounded expansion and
practical dreams and imagination.
Mercury
conjuncts Venus Jun 20 at 10:56 PM EDT/ 7:56 PM PDT at 21 Can 59. Trining
the Moon at 25 Scor. A great day for loving connections and warm speech.
