The Astrological events listed below will affect us all, regardless of your sign.
June 5th Venus enters Leo until 7/14. While Venus is in Leo, we want to express ourselves in creative and artistic ways. Things that we feel most passionate about come forward. This may be art, fashion, music, dance, theater, gardening or anything that brings out our creative and fun sides. We are drawn to the beauty of the outdoors, as nature shows her glory this time of year. The kid in us is tempting us to play, as our inner child wants to come out! Under this influence we are invited to lighten up and enjoy life. And to just find joy in being yourself.
One other thing about Venus moving into Leo; there will now be five planets in fire signs. This will generate a most dynamic energy, increasing enthusiasm for projects, plans, etc. as well as adding a fiery energy to even our daily events and routines. It will be difficult to tolerate that which is boring and mundane! This dynamic and fiery energy will be felt until (at least) Mars enters Taurus on 6/24.
June 14th is the New Moon in Gemini at 8:13 pm PDT, 9:13 pm MDT, 10:13 pm CDT and 11:13 pm EDT. This NM is all about communication in virtually any form. During the few days around this NM many experience an increase in emails, phone calls, conversations, etc. Pay attention to new ideas that catch your attention now, as well as any communication that offers you new information. The mind is active, as new ideas and interests can show up under this NM. Mental seeds and new ideas planted now will bear fruit as the weeks go on. Stay open to new ways of seeing things and new concepts. And be sure to listen to yourself and your inner voice as well.
June 15th Mercury SR at 11°36' Cancer until 7/9. Having Mercury go retrograde the day after the New Moon in Gemini will very likely mess up some communications. I advise that you check, and re-check, and then check again all arrangements, plans, meetings, etc. that may be impacted during this time. One possible effect of this combo is that while in some ways you are ready to initiate your plans or make that call or sign the dotted line, in others, it simply won't be time. Knowing this beforehand can diminish the chances of this happening, as well as the frustration that may come with it. So do what you can to prepare for this push/pull, start/stop influence. While Mercury is in Cancer many feel especially nostalgic, remembering times gone by which can generate strong feelings about the past. While sometimes it is good to reflect on these things, it is not advised to dwell on them.

Emotional or sensitive subjects can find their way into our conversations (and thoughts) during this time. Strive to be gentle and patient now as others are feeling ultra sensitive, too. Constructive use of this influence is to access your deeper feelings of caring and to take time and make the effort to express these to those you love.
June 21st Sun enters Cancer at 11:07 am PDT (Summer Solstice). Click here to read the monthly astrological influences in, Monthly Transit Talk (MTT) for Cancer.
June 23rd Uranus stations retrograde at 18°42' Pisces until 11/24. Whenever a planet stations it brings out or heightens the energies of that planet for a time (in this case, a couple weeks before and after 6/23). In this case, it means expect things to be rather topsy-turvy for a while. So during this Uranus station, you can expect any of the following:
- things of an unpredictable nature to occur
- interesting, dynamic, sometimes thrilling and exciting events take place, often that we didn't see coming
- *it can usher in change which can sometimes be upsetting, but it may be just what we need to shift gears for the better in some area(s) of our life
- it is good to keep in mind that these energies are an invitation to do get out of ruts and to do things differently
- it can offer us new ways to see and perceive things, even those that are somewhat mundane and basic
- this is a time to embrace change, so staying open-minded is a must.
Now for the challenges: most of us aren't wild about changes, especially those we didn't see coming. And in those areas we didn't think anything needed changing, it can be especially difficult. And so, we resist. And resistance is exactly how not to handle this transit. A couple pointers here:
- you may not need to actually make any major changes, as a few minor ones will shift the energy needed
- and sometimes while new ideas enter your awareness now, it doesn't mean you must run off and do them. It means it is in your best interest to explore and consider them. And then perhaps act later, after you've had a chance to think things over
- Uranus is called "The Great Awakener". So whatever is up for you now will carry the frequency of waking up to something you were not previously aware of, if you stay open to it.
What to remember during this time: Uranus really does have your best interest at heart, in an odd, cosmic kind of way. Meaning, if you are open to its influence, and embrace change as is truly appropriate for you at this time, the result is that you will feel more alive, more in touch with your own life force and passions, and be more in tune with those around you. One more thing to keep in mind during Uranus stations, and especially since Mercury is also retrograde, things can feel crazy, chaotic and confusing. So doing those things that help to keep you grounded and centered is most advised. Examples are yoga, walking, eating well, not over taxing the nervous system and taking lots of deep breaths!
June 24th Mars enters Taurus until 8/6. While Mars is in Taurus, it is a good time to tackle those projects requiring stamina and/or perseverance; such as major gardening, cleaning out garages or a thorough house cleaning. This combo is something like the Ram meets the Bull, if you get the drift. Another area you may need to focus on is your budget and finances. Beware of over spending now, though this may be a good time to make certain purchases, such as cars, tools or other mechanical items. That said, do wait until Mercury goes direct (late on 7/9)! Some other things to watch for are:
- being possessive or holding on to things you really don't need
- over taxing your body/muscles, which could result in soreness, bruises, strains, etc.
- being stubborn in your dealings with others.
June 25th Saturn opposite Neptune retrograde at 21°47' Leo/Aquarius. This is the third, and final, opposition of Saturn and Neptune of recent months (next one is 2042). Saturn rules "matter" and the physical aspects of our life, such as your career, work, responsibilities, commitments, foundations, the rules you live by, what makes you feel secure and much more. Neptune rules "spirit" and the more etheric and intangible realms and aspects of life, such as your connection to God/Source, imagination and what inspires you. It also rules your pull towards a spiritual path and life. (Someone with a strong Neptune in their birth chart is more likely to make spirituality in some form an active aspect of their life.) Neptune also rules music, inspired art, the creative process, fantasy and whimsy. Another way this can be felt is that Neptune can create a sort of fog or veil around things you may not want to see or accept. Yet Saturn often demands that we see things for what they truly are. So during this time, you may have to come to terms with something you have been avoiding the truth about.
Authenticity of mind, heart and spirit are most important now! The energy of these two planets opposing each other may be showing you that it is important to align and bring a greater balance between the practical and the mystical aspects of your life. (Perhaps you are feeling a greater need to "walk your talk".) This transit may bring to your attention ways that your daily life isn't a reflection of your spiritual or religious life. And now is a good time to bring this into a greater alignment. The impact of this final opposition is at least a couple weeks, and if it is impacting your chart directly, then at least a few weeks longer.
June 30th is a Full Moon at 8°25' Capricorn at 6:49 am PDT, 7:49 am MDT, 8:49 am CDT and 9:49 am EDT. Be forewarned! This can be quite an emotional FM. Illuminated now are the patterns, people and values that bring meaning to your life. This increased awareness may be helpful in rebuilding some aspect of your life. A Venus-Neptune opposition can create an over-idealization of a past memory or phase of your life. Don't believe everything you think (or feel)! Strive for balance between home and work, as both may require your attention. It is advised to attend to your responsibilities, obligations and prior commitments. Once these are met, find time to nurture yourself. You will find comfort in simplicity and natural beauty. Keep in mind that others are also feeling ultra-sensitive, and that some extra kindness and gentleness work wonders now. And resist any inclination to be moody or depressed! Genuine appreciation and gratefulness are the best remedies for such feelings!
