June 11 – 17

Responsibilities

What to expect: Fun and adventure
What to watch out for: Escaping responsibilities
What will it affect? Work, communication, family talks

On June 11th the Sun in Gemini will sextile Juno in Aries. To be satisfying, our relationships will need to be filled with adventure, communication, and even sport. Doing activities together will be enjoyable, but they may also be distracting. Sometimes distractions are good and sometimes they lead to other problems. This is particularly the case if you have responsibilities to keep.

June 12th Mercury will enter Cancer and then oppose Vesta. Communication shifts to talks about real estate, family and possibly also a family business. The problem is, the opposition to Vesta may make us all talk no action. We talk a big talk without having any real intentions of following through. This is a time to temper your words and not make promises you can’t or won’t deliver on.

Why? Sun Sextile Juno, Mercury Entering Cancer, Mercury Opposition Vesta

Spreading Our Wings

What to expect: Opportunities to fly
What to watch out for: Lack of confidence
What will it affect? Projects, communication, relationships, self-confidence

The Full Moon on June 13th is at 22 degrees of Gemini. The Sabian symbol for this degree is “Three fledglings in a nest high in a tree”. These baby birds may be safe and sound high up in the trees, but at some point, they will have to leave the nest. The only way is to spread their wings and fly. The good news is that they have the ability to hardwired in them. It’s innate! But that’s not to say that they don’t first have to be ready, and second, that the first flight won’t be scary and a bit awkward. Those are both true. At this New Moon, we can set intentions for making our way out into the word. The New Moon is ruled by Mercury and on the same day, Mercury is sextile to Uranus, giving us impulse to spread our wings and fly. The only problem is that Mercury is also square to Chiron making us indecisive and unsure of ourselves. This second aspect is making us want to hold on to the nest! Two things are true. We will never truly be “ready” and so it will behoove you to head the advice “start before your ready”. The second is that we learn from our mistakes. So even if our first flight is a bit uncomfortable, we are sure to build confidence from taking that step. We may even fail, but failure will help us to learn a thing or two about how we will do it better next time!

On the same day, Venus will enter into Leo making it a good time for praise and accolades. Recognition and self-expression will be valued. So if you see someone trying out their wings… give them the fanfare that will help lift their confidence. They will appreciate it. If we don’t get what we need… well Mars will also oppose the North Node, giving us the energy to break free. If mama is holding us in the nest, we rebel. If friends are holding us back, we break away. We get clear about the groups of people who are for us and who are against us and make decisions about their value in our lives. With Venus in Leo squaring Uranus in Taurus the following day, we may literally or figuratively sell all of our belongings and run off with the circus!

Building our Self Confidence

What to expect: Deep intuition
What to watch out for: Pessimistic attitudes
What will it affect? Thinking patterns, wounds, relationships, nurturing.

On June 14th Jupiter in Scorpio will trine Pallas in Cancer and we can connect deeply to our emotions and intuition. These two are still in close proximity to Neptune and form a water grand trine. If we can key into this energy we are able to connect with something both deep within ourselves and on a higher level, something greater than ourselves. From this connection, we can find spiritual wisdom and guidance. This will be particularly important as on June 15th Mercury in Cancer will oppose Saturn in Capricorn. This brings in a pessimistic energy that can make us over emotional, gloom and doom and overly self-protective. Venus in Leo will trine Chiron in Aries bringing up a relationship issue or possibility and issue with money. Its an issue if worked through can help to build our self-esteem and confidence.

On June 16th the Sun will sextile Ceres. Give a little praise and recognition and not only will it make you feel good, it will also likely be returned to you making you feel even better!

June 4 – 10

Don’t believe the hype!

What to expect: Questioning reality
What to watch out for: Making decisions
What will it affect? Work, communication, power, ambitions

Chiron in Aries squares Vesta in Capricorn on June 4th – As we continue to work with our self-confidence we meet a challenge in our work and ambitions. Chiron in Aries is bringing up wounds related to being who we are and as it squares work related Vesta in the sign that loves status quo – Capricorn. we feel stifled and hemmed in. The good news is that the Sun will conjunct Mercury in Gemini, so we have the right recipe for talking things out. On the downside, the sun and mercury are moving into a square with Neptune adding to the recipe the possibility of white lies and deceit. This is especially the case on June 6th when the moon will also join Neptune in Pisces. Things can start to feel a little Alice-in-wonderland; we can lose touch with the what’s real and what’s not real. Add to the mix that Venus will oppose Pluto and we add the element of power struggle. This one will be confusing. Don’t be surprised if you feel like someone is gaslighting you. Remember that Gaslighting is when someone makes you question your reality. It’s when we lose touch with what we know we know. Seriously doubt can creep in. For this reason, it’s a terrible time to make any major business decisions.

Celebrate Breakthroughs!

What to expect: Work innovations
What to watch out for: Crossing boundaries
What will it affect? Work, communication, innovations, finances, power

“Politeness is the poison of collaboration.” – Edwin Land

On June 7th Mercury will sextile Juno and communications in all of our relationships immediately start to get better. Uranus now in Taurus will also trine Vesta in Capricorn on June 8th and our work also gets a surprising uplift. Taurus is the sign of money; banking, financing, and loans. In a trine to Vesta the asteroid related to work and passions, it helps us to focus on our finances into innovative areas of work. Breakthroughs are possible and will help us to achieve our ambitions.

By June 9th mercury will move into a sextile with Ceres. This is great energy for getting together for group activities. It favours, food, communication, relationship, leadership, and play. This combination will help to your team building, so take advantage of any good weather and get out and enjoy it! If you have something to celebrate, it’s also a great day for that. As they say, celebrate early and often. This helps to keep engagement and motivation.

One word of cautions – If you do end up at a company party, don’t forget your professionalism and boundaries. Pluto will also square Juno, making it clear who’s in charge.

Why? Mercury Sextile Juno, Uranus Trine Vesta, Mercury Sextile Ceres, Pluto Square Juno

May 28 – June 3

Full Moon in Sagittarius

What to expect: Culminations
What to watch out for: Leaping before we’re ready
What will it affect? Healing, learning, adventure, direction

The Full Moon is at 8 degree’s of Sagittarius on May 29th. The Sabian symbol for this full moon is “a mother with her children on stairs”. This Sabian symbol reminds me of a scene out of the Sound of Music. The governess, who will later become the legitimate mother of the seven children, stands on the spiral stairs with the children saying goodnight to a ballroom of party guests. She is their teacher, their caregiver and she lovingly helps them up the steps and off to bed. One of them, the oldest girl, wants to stay and socialize among the guests. The current teacher/future mother lovingly says “no, you’re not ready yet”. She’s almost there, but has a little more to learn! At this Full Moon, we know the path forward. We are getting ready. The party helps us to become clear. We want to meet that person, or learn that dance or wear that dress. All of this represents ambitions and adventures that initiate us into maturity. But we have some more learning to do. At the Full Moon, look around for that help! A loving motherly teacher will be there to help us with our direction and the next steps to take. The Full Moon is also sextile the North Node, the point in the sky responsible for taking us in the right direction. You can sure, that this loving teacher will give you the right directions and steps to take.

But we have some work to do first! Mercury is sextile Chiron, the wounded healer and so we get information at the Full Moon about what we first need to heal. Chiron is in Aries, so it favours Aries types of activities. It speaks of building confidence and maturity before we can take those big steps on our own. To help with the healing do things such as speaking up and asserting your wants and needs. Or explore other avenues for self-expression or self-discovery that help build confidence. The keyword here is test, try and explore.

Work/Life Balance

What to expect: Conflict
What to watch out for: Hurt Feelings
What will it affect? Relationships, Ambitions, Family

There are always challenges. This week on June 2nd Venus is square Juno and the challenge will be balancing relationships. Venus in Cancer wants to hold her loved ones tight and in a square to Juno feels a little neglected by her relationship. Juno is in Aries making us busy exploring the world and ourselves. We may need to find ways to balance our relationships to avoid hurt feelings or a fight. Saturn is in Capricorn and is opposite Pallas in Cancer, so we have difficulty envisioning that balance. Our ambitions are getting in the way of seeing the possibility of balance and connection with our family and loved ones. A synthesis is possible.

Why? Venus Square Juno, Saturn Opposition Pallas
