Published: Sat, 06/02/18
Venus is out of bounds until the 7th of June and although she is in the loving safe place of Cancer she isn’t quite herself at the moment. The wild woman in you can be speaking desiring to be free of what is expected of you and want to let loose. We are still under the beams of the ruler of the last full moon in Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter in Scorpio. What does that mean??? Until the 13th of June, Jupiter soaring in intuitive detective sexy Scorpio will own the day. Uranus is now in Taurus having just left 7 years in Aries and moved into Taurus a mere two weeks ago.
There will be plenty of gossip across the news reels, (what else is new you might ask) with more revealing of secrets and exploitation. In your work arena issues of money can come around, who is being paid for what and whether or not there are unfair practices happening. A great way to use this vibe is open communication with your significant other. Go deep, let the person know what is on your mind, ask for what you want and be honest, (reveal) what you expect from them.
The week of the 4th – 8th expect twists and turns in whatever you want to accomplish. This week has several nodes of the planets are activated while the Sun reaches its first quarter square to Neptune. This is a wild twist and turn week, one day super happy, next day plunged down.

The same week, Mars will cross the south node of the moon, this is a symbol of running into Mars type people from your past. It can be strong woman, Aries like friends, or old enemies, or even buddies that you exercised with in the past. In fact it is a good time to reconnect with a pal who is a good workout friend.
June New Moon in Gemini
The June Gemini New Moon has a big sigh of relief. Perhaps it is because school is out, exams are finished, vacation plans are made, big projects at work have been completed, or simply the whirl of events have slowed down. Venus is at her last degree of Cancer ready to step into fun loving playful let’s get out in the sun and shine Leo. Mercury is the ruler of the Gemini New Moon and how it is aspected, what it is doing, will predict how the next couple of weeks will happen. Mercury is in the sign of Cancer at 2 degrees square Chiron who has moved into Aries. Mercury in Cancer wants us to think about how we feel, and feel what we are thinking. With Chiron this is a double edge sword. On the one hand you don’t want your upset stomach to control your thoughts into thinking that everything in your life is sour, on the other hand you don’t want your mind to overrule what your intuition and feelings are telling you.
Three planets, Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter have been retrograde since April, on the 18th Neptune begins its yearly retrograde dance and Mars joins the retrograde party on the 26th. The end of the month and for much of July and August there will be as many as six out of the 8 planets retrograde. (The Sun and Moon are never retrograde.) Neptune, when it slows down and has the intense beam of its energy pointed at the planet is a time of deep meditation, relaxation, yoga, swimming, music, arts, and movies. The desire to get away and escape from the hassles of everyday responsibilities is palpable.
Mars retrograde In Aquarius June 2018
Mars retrograde on the 26th at 9 degrees of Aquarius can turn technology on its head. If you are in the technology industry it can be back to the drawing board to get the bugs out of a new design. Speaking of bugs, make sure your computer is safe from hackers. Pay attention to your love life around this day, it can bring an omen of what will happen with Venus moves retrograde in October. Venus will go retrograde at 10 degrees of Scorpio, activating the Mars retrograde. Venus and Mars have an antagonistic relationship when they are in square to each other. Differences in what each person wants or values become apparent. (Let’s go out for Pizza, no let’s go out to fine dining, from trivial to major differences in values)
Summer Solstice 2018 Astrology (Winter Solstice for Down Under)
The cardinal turning points, (solstices and equinoxes) are traditionally 4 of the main prediction tools ancient astrologers used, along with eclipses. How you will know what will happen in your country is to place the chart for where the leader of the country resides. Then analyze it from there. In the USA chart the summer solstice begins a few minutes after sunrise, which means the rising sign or ascending sign is also in Cancer. Having the rising sign in a cardinal sign indicates the chart will give the story of what to come until the next eclipse or equinox, whichever comes first. Mundane analysis for the USA is the president will be spending time behind the scenes as he is in that sector of the chart and opposite Lilith dealing with secret negotiations with woman who refuse acquiese to male domination. This could be his wife, could be tryst. Neptune is still making a major aspect in the USA chart and in this chart suggesting that the public continues to be left in the dark about what is really going on. The people, represented by the moon, are in Libra, wanting life to be fair and peaceful. Strong division in the parties continues as Venus and Mars are in an exact opposition.
On a personal level, this time represents making peace with the duality within and with significant others in your life. The polarization can be external, you and your kids, lover, boss, etc or internal between what you want and what you are willing to do to get what you want.
June Full Moon in Capricorn 2018
The month finishes with the full moon in Capricorn 6 degrees. This full moon in Capricorn is not only ruled by Saturn it is intimately connected as Saturn is in Capricorn at 5 degrees. This lends a serious vibe to the day before and after the full moon. Since mars will be retrograde less than 2 days before, plans that you have made will have a slow down along with an urgent push to take care of obligations in order to free up time for the upcoming weekend and following week. Travel and vacation will be in full swing and delays could hamper the expected arrival time. All will be fine when you have a plan B and an extra quota of patience. An interesting configuration in this June full moon chart is Lilith is at 6 degrees of Leo conjunct the north node of the moon. Lilith is the archetype for the independence of woman. Conjunct the north node of the moon the universe is giving a shove to embrace not only the qualities of Leo, creative self-expression, open heart and playfulness, it is doing it in a Lilith way, independent of what the male patriarchy has deemed as the appropriate way for a woman to behave. So have fun, wear your wild and sexy clothes, can you say girls weekend?
Always remember that the planets don’t make something happen, it is the music of the spheres that at times is in great harmony other times with dissonance. When we listen to the messages of the universe we can have foreknowledge of how best to use the energy available. Not too much different than weather forecasting that gives you the heads up if it is a day for sunscreen or an umbrella.
Peace,
