Astrology for June 26-July 2, 2023© . Mercury in Cancer© . Neptune in Pisces

 On Monday Mercury transits into Cancer until July 2 giving interesting insight into

family and anyone with whom you have a close bond. Emotions are sensitive and provide a unique perspective for feelings and all ways you connect and communicate.

The Sun trine Saturn on Wednesday offers stability and fortitude for building what you want to last. This is an angle of positive foundations so putting into place a long-range plan is helped. It’s easier to see workable dynamics for growth.

Mercury trine Saturn on Friday benefits settle formal contracts and agreements. There’s opportunity to work on what you want to be long-term and enduring. Logic and reason are favorable guidelines.

Saturday brings Mercury conjunct the Sun, Mercury sextile Jupiter and the Sun sextile Jupiter making this a strong day for planning and working through major ideas. The heavens seem to align very well.

Venus square Uranus on Sunday is uneasy energy that can disrupt personal matters. It’s good to go with the flow and be flexible rather than trying to push activities or be demanding. People are changeable and events could just popup that shifts currents.

Neptune Retrograde in Pisces begins Friday that can for the next few months take you back in time, help you to go within and explore your own inner dynamics from the subconscious to other realms and lifetimes. As mentioned earlier this year Neptune activates everything pertaining to oceans and ocean life, shores lines, ships and anything related to professions so connected. Private institutions, prisons and all places where large groups are housed may be up for reform or notice. Professions related to Pisces such as shipping, psychologists, archeologists and anything related to the past may be more prominent.

This is an excerpt from the Patreon site:

Amazingly we move into another month with June leaving us a bit weary with so much unrest across the world. I’ve been asked to speak about the tragedy of the excursion submersible, Titan and as you know I don’t usually respond right away to events for ethical reasons where there’s suffering. I’d rather not validate tragedy in the light of those impacted during and afterward. Sensationalism isn’t my style. In this instance it seems now okay to talk about it. My interpretations for the day of that event were already in place as I suggested not taking anything at face value or being involved with anything not thoroughly research or secure due to the building angle between the Sun and Neptune that peaked Sunday that’s anything from muddled information, misunderstanding or outright deception. And so it went that on June 18 the ship launched as the Sun square Neptune was unfolding. I calculated and analyzed the chart of the launch that showed Mars and other factors negatively placed that, if astrology was considered they would’ve likely waited for better time. The chart if one of tragedy with no wait time in that it was a fast and intense implosion. I’ve seen other astrologers calculate for different times and speculate with wild random ideas to make “their” charts fit the outcome, and that’s another reason I usually refrain from immediately tossing out the astrology view. It’s almost like saying, I told you so, and yet an accurate chart can be educational and insightful so as to prevent other unfortunate happenings. All events have charts, which is why agriculture follows the Moon including Moon signs when planting and harvesting. Esoterically it’s eerie that the captain ignored warnings and barreled forth at the place of the sunken Titanic of which the captain ignored warnings of icebergs and barreled forth full speed. I’ll post an article with the chart graphic and discussion soon.

Astrology for June 12-18, 2023 - the Sun square Neptune - Pluto Retrograde - Gemini New Moon©

 The week coasts down until Sunday when the New Moon in Gemini starts a new cycle of energy for

the rest of the month. During this week Mercury leads with a square to Saturn on Thursday and sextile to Venus on Saturday helping you to restructure recent past complications and concerns and carve out new forms of communication. As the ruler of Gemini, Mercury here and aligned with the Sun benefits making contact, reaching out and establishing all type of connection.

Everything happening has influence from the Gemini Sun square Neptune in Pisces calling for efforts to understand the rhyme and reason for convoluted conversations and events. There’re layers of meaning that can have you thinking and rethinking your own projections.

Notes:

Venus is Leo where it will be until October 8 that’s a much longer cycle than usual because it retrogrades for a while. This longer time intensifies all matters relating to the placement that in general affects what you desire which can be multiple things such as what you love to do, what you’re drawn to as interests, hobbies, people and even places. Venus governs love and in Leo triggers so many aspects of it as well as instigating you to explore more in that area. Leo is self-expression that you may choose to cultivate and enhance leading to fulfillment. This is a good time to cultivate true desire and enjoy indulging in what provides happiness. Special bonds can be cultivated with children and those with whom you share common interests. What and who you love is important. The months are great for striving toward increasing confidence plus this mellowing ray can be soothing and help to achieve fulfillment. Due to the opposition to Pluto in Aquarius on the same day a pattern is set that gives a sense of urgency or importance and cautions not to go overboard spending or indulging in any way that’s risky.

Considering the note below about Pluto there’s a strong impulse to have structure and reliability that may be degree challenging so review your priorities for the best way to work with this.

Worth repeating:

Pluto is Retrograde back into Capricorn from its overall placement in Aquarius until January 2024. It’s in Capricorn until October 10, 2023 bringing back numerous issues experienced during past years such as political upheaval and challenges with powers-that-be such as national and corporate leaders. Whoever was the front person was and is again in the limelight and challenged for a variety of reasons and as well new leaders will experience being on the line. Structures such as nations, cities and corporations once again need to manage well and strive for solvency to maintain their standing.

In your life you may notice old concerns and situations return if they were not completely resolved. There are issues of power-plays and it brings out any need to control. Physically, Capricorn governs teeth, bones, any hard stuff in the body such as calcification, buildup in arteries and also posture. It’s good to establish self-care including getting the right amount of rest.

The New Moon in Gemini on Sunday is a nice beginning for anywhere you want to go forward. Keep in mind that communicating with yourself is important.

It’s amazing that we’re now into May and it will be just as busy as April with plenty of celestial turns and twists along with the aftermath of intense solar flares having bombarded our planet. Generally CME’s (coronal mass ejections) that aim toward earth are shielded from impact though right now they’re filtering through cause concern for satellites, GPS, radio and other technological signals possibly being disrupted. These storms also affect humans in varying ways from tension to neurological.

The Sun and Mercury retrograde are conjunct in Taurus on Monday at 7:28 PM ET heightening mental sharpness and giving strong impulse to connect with others. What you do and say and where you go seems more important.

On Thursday Venus and Neptune square is influential all week calling for careful understanding of how interactions are being played out and a need to seek understanding. Beguilement and charm could turn out to be superficial so take your time before becoming involved to be sure all is as it seems. A key is distortion.

The Full Moon in Scorpio Lunar Eclipse with on the same day Venus sextile Jupiter that’s part of the solar-lunar eclipse axis and is a strong reminder of everything about the external of money and valuables combined with the inner sense of values and worth. Many are questioning personal decisions and lifestyles relating to longevity. Contemplating your current life path helps to understand feelings and the complex dynamic of your lifestyle so that you can discover variables which can lead to avenues of opportunity activated by the Venus-Jupiter energy.

Mercury is still retrograde in Taurus until May 14 so continuing to be mindful of communication and decisions helps to maneuver through potential misunderstanding.

During this waning lunar tide are subtle stirrings about matters of the heart as Venus forms two direct angles to Pluto and Saturn just after entering the sign of Gemini.

The trine of Venus to Pluto on Tuesday is strong, resonating all week in areas of seeing more fully your sense of how you relate to others, especially who and what you love and your feelings about close relationships. Pluto is about transformation that can be part of the energy as you process your connections to others and also how you create. Creators of art and music are especially motivated to strive farther toward ideals and ways to birth that phenomenal reality. How and why you love someone or something is also strengthened calling for you to gain understanding. The atmosphere is magnetically charged.

Venus square Saturn on Friday prompts learning more about boundaries that could manifest in the form of obstacles, delays, and other blocks of social life and relationships. Someone could become problematic while plans and the overall social dynamic experiences challenge. When things go wrong and people disappoint it’s good to evaluate your own reasons for connecting and the meaning of the relationship so that you can have confidence that your choice is on track for the right reasons.

Venus is in Gemini from Tuesday until May 7 gives greater interest in variety and the outer world you experience through travel and all forms of communication. How you feel is important as it relates to where you’ve established bonds and feelings that now surface to be addressed in a number ways from interaction, plus you're more active in several areas such as with social gatherings, travel, expanding how you communicate and assorted activities. Interest in being on the go and indulging in your passions can take you far into new avenues with people, places and specific things you want to do such as visiting a favorite resort, seeing an art show or movie, attending a concert or connecting with groups that share your same focus. The key is being busy through connecting. If you’re in the travel industry you’re given a grand easement for fulfilling your goals. Charm and realizing ideals are also nice aspects for successfully connecting and enjoying forms of networking ranging from close encounters to the wider spectrum of the world.

The Quarter Moon in Capricorn on Thursday is the turning point from the recent Full Moon and the next New Moon that for a week offers you an opportunity to realign with how you’ve established your life, career and general standard of living. You may feel inclined to work on building a better life structure for longevity.

New Moon energy is underway plus Mercury and Uranus are now direct. Positive energy this week comes from the Sun sextile Jupiter and trine Mars that gives a great boost for forging ahead. The Quarter Moon in Taurus on Saturday reveals how you might change your financial pattern and ways to better manage money.

The Sun sextile Jupiter on Tuesday brings healing and excellent visionary ability that helps to realize and find solutions for ways to expand your life in a good direction. Restoration and renewal as well as new beginnings are helped by this beneficial angle.

On Sunday the Sun trine Mars is a nice energy booster to help you to keep going and begin anew.

Mercury trine Uranus on Sunday elevates the ability to be innovative and express your thoughts and ideas in new ways. This is a highly productive ray helping to unfold idea.

Venus moves into Pisces on Thursday where it will be until February 20 that is great for creative people as it increases artistic abilities and visions. Ideals and dreams influence several aspects of life including how you connect and bond personally. Love is in the air and can be, or seem to be, the stuff of dreams so if you experience that then great, otherwise this can also create idealism that’s no real or overly lofty so unrealistic. Allow time to be a marker for getting to know someone and allow validation of intentions. The energy is nice for visualizing what you want to manifest.
