Overview
The first week of June begins with a grand trine in air of Sun in Gemini, Moon in Libra and North Node of the Moon in Aquarius. Practical earth is also highlighted with Saturn in Virgo trining Mercury in Taurus. Questions of practicality still seem to be blocking the rarefied stellium of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius, since Mercury squares the idealistic trio, but does not necessarily prevent the magical stellium from ultimately materializing. Pluto in Capricorn trines Mars in Taurus bringing practical solutions to important restructuring projects. By the end of the week, Venus has moved to conjunct Mars in Taurus, creating a romantic and sensually satisfying ambience.
The Sagittarius Full Moon on June 07 should help in balancing our words with our more inspirational reflections so we can more easily “walk the talk.”
Also, by the second week of June, the Sun in Gemini has moved to square Saturn in Virgo, so the will to communicate is blocked by issues of semantics, grammar, correctness of detailed information or organization, creating some frustration or delay in transmission of information. In addition, Mercury in Taurus is still squaring the Aquarian stellium, in which Neptune has turned retrograde, so working out the details of those grand renovation projects could seem to be temporarily stymied as we find ourselves going back to the drawing board to review and revise the details so they actually fit and are functional. However, Mercury in Taurus is sextiling Uranus in Pisces, helping along the process of actualizing the dream in a practical way.
By the third week of June, the communication issues are clearing up as Mercury moves into Gemini and out of its recent retrograde zone. Now we have a dual rulership of Venus in Taurus and Mercury in Gemini, so we should be able to more easily articulate what we would like to have than we could the week before. Also, by this time, the Sun in Gemini has moved to trine the Aquarius stellium of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron, so the visionary energy is able to be expressed eloquently. Mars and Venus are still dancing along in a passionate duet in Taurus. Weddings and honeymoons undertaken at this time should be quite memorable.
The fourth week of June brings a New Moon in Cancer at the second degree. Setting up a nurturing home environment will necessitate some sort of structural transformation in career or governmental terms (Pluto in Capricorn at the third degree opposes the New Moon.) The Moon now is in her own sign of Cancer, so we have three rulerships: Moon in Cancer, Mercury in Gemini, and Venus in Taurus. Issues of comfort, along with security in the domestic scene will be coming to the fore now.
By the end of the month, Uranus goes Stationary Retrograde in Pisces. We now have four retrograde planets: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The plantary energy is slowing down and becoming more introspective in terms of the ethical or larger issues that affect society as a whole. This is a good time for reading, reflecting and renewing the soul.
