**All times are EDT***
Monday June 26th-
At 5:23am Mars in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus- creating tension between the will and drive and the Rebel and Revolutionary. Our desire for freedom and wildness is STRONG right now. This is great for taking action and going after what we want but we want to be aware of where we may be acting impulsively, reactively or haste-fully. Watch out for reactivity and explosions of anger right now, as well as accidents and unexpected situations. Watch out for ego going into overdrive. Instead use the Divine Will energy to embrace and pursue change!
Mercury at 29’42 Gemini quincunxes Retrograde Pluto in Capricorn at 5:07pm- creating tension between the mind and intellect and the Lord of the Underworld. Mercury/Pluto is excellent for therapy, research and investigation. Mercury in Gemini likes information but often can stay on the surface. Pluto, on the other hand, drags us down into the depths to face and own the shadow. Watch out for power/control dynamics and intense communication. Speaking and seeing the Truth- within and without- is key.
At 8:24pm Mercury moves out of Gemini and into Cancer- shifting the conscious mind and intellect from air to water, thinking to feeling, mental focus to emotional focus. Shifting the mind and intellect from air to water, yang to yin, intellect to emotion. Mercury in cancer is very nurturing and sensitive in communication. Focusing on home, family, emotions, the past and ancestral patterns/karmas is supported right now. Just be aware that we can more easily conflate our thoughts with our feelings and can be overly emotional and attached to the past right now.
Tuesday June 27th-
At 5:22am Mercury in Cancer sextiles the Mean North Node at 0’48 Taurus and trines the South Node at 0’48 Scorpio- bringing important communications, information and insights about the past and where we have been and the future and where we are heading. Shedding Light on the past is key as we cannot consciously make decision to move into a new future if we are not seeing and dealing with the past appropriately. Tune into today and notice what information or intuition arises!
Wednesday June 28th-
At 8:51am Venus cojoins Mean Black Moon Lilith at 19’09 Leo- aligning the Goddess of Love and Beauty with the Dark Goddess of power and intensity in potent ways! Venus governs our desires and what we are attracted to- and BML is the wild, instinctual feminine. Put the two together in the passionate sign of leo and you have the makings of a passionate affair or a fatal attraction! Venus/BML can help you tap into your deepest intuitions and instincts or they can unearth your addictions and compulsions that need to be seen and loved. Venus and Mars conjunct Lilith are heading to square Uranus (Mars was June 26th, Venus end of this week July 2nd, Lilith later on July 30th)- which can amplify but also exacerbate intensity in relationships right now. Ultimately this astrology is about learning to be empowered and centered and relating to others from that place. Steer clear of power/control dynamics and manipulative tendencies if you know what’s good for you! ;)
The Sun in Cancer semisquares Uranus in Taurus at 8:52am- creating tension between the conscious self and ego and the Rebel and Revolutionary! Sun/Uranus shows us where we are stuck in safety and security or attachments to the past and what we need to do to embrace change! With the Sun in deeply emotional Cancer we may find emotions coming up we did not know where there. Working with emotions somatically and cathartically can be important right now. Tuning into where the Universe is asking us to let go to grow is key today.
At 11:13am Mercury cojoins Juno at 3’31 Cancer, aligning the Mind and Intellect with the asteroid Goddess of partnership and marriage. Mercury/Juno brings focus to our thoughts, ideas and communications in relationships and commitments in our lives. We are supported in getting clear on and communicating our needs in relationship, as well as listening to others share their needs. Relationships can be front and center today as can emotions and processing our feelings about things. Being honest with ourselves and others is key right now.
The Sun in Cancer trines Retrograde Saturn in Pisces at 9:43pm, aligning the conscious self and ego with the Lord of Karma and Father of Time. Sun/Saturn is a great time to get serious, focused and masterful. We have staying power right now and can work towards goals with long term focus. With both bodies in Water Signs we can find containment and grounding for our emotions, intuition, and creativity! From today through 6/30 both the Sun and Mercury make this aspect to Saturn so from 6/28-6/30 use these energies wisely!
At 10:25pm Mercury in Cancer semisquares Venus in Leo- bringing tension between the Mind and the Heart. Positively we can use this astrology to speak about our feelings and share our needs with others. The shadow side is that the mind and heart are at odds- so what we think and what we feel could be very different. With watery, emotional, yin, lunar Cancer going head to head with fiery, passionate, yang, solar Leo- there is a need to bridge yin and yang in new ways for effective communication (with ourselves or with others) to happen.
Thursday June 29th-
At 4:41am Venus in Leo trines Chiron in Aries- aligning the Goddess of Love and Beauty with the Wounded Healer planetoid. Venus/Dhiron is an aspect of the Heart Healer. Venus is the lower heart and when she links with the Wounded Healer there is deep potential for healing in relationship, in self-love and self-worth and in connection with our own inner feminine. With both bodies in fire signs connecting to our passion, fire, creativity and self-expression is key! The healing around our masculine and feminine within is key to healthy, whole relationships without- and today we have support in furthering that healing journey within ourselves, in relationships in our lives and with our clients (if we are healers).
Pallas in Leo trines Eris in Aries at 1:51pm, aligning the Wisdom and Warrior Goddess with the Goddess of Activism and Revealer of Discord and Chaos. This is an amazing Fire trine that supports us in taking action based on what we see and understand. Pallas in Leo is radiating with self confidence, self esteem and clear, healthy boundaries. Eris is seeing what is in the shadow and ready to speak to it and deal with it. From today through Sunday we have both Pallas and Mars trine Eris- so channel the will and ego energies wisely and take a stand for Truth in your life!
Mercury in Cancer semisquares Uranus in Taurus at 9:47pm- creating tension between the lower mind and Higher Mind. This can be wonderful for insights, inspiration and downloads coming in- but the tense nature of the aspect can also exacerbates schisms between our lower egoic mind and our Higher Mind. Mercury in Cancer is very attached to a subjective understanding of things and could exacerbate our tendency to want to see things through our own lens. It is important to question the insights or information coming in right now- some of which can be shocking, sudden or unexpected. Being open to seeing, hearing and speaking the Truth is key right now.
Friday June 30th-
At 2:24am Mercury in Cancer trines Retrograde Saturn in Pisces, aligning the Mind and Intellect with the Planet of Mastery and Integrity. Mercury/Saturn is great for having serious and focused conversations. It is great for researching, applying the mind, being methodical and focused. This trine is in water signs so we are able to use the masterful, grounded energy and apply it to all things mystical, creative, psychic and intuitive! We can harness our emotions and psychic energy in ways that are practical and grounded today.
Neptune stations Retrograde at 27’41 Pisces at 5:07pm- making the planet of the Higher Heart the most powerful planet in the sky. All things Neptunian are bolstered and exacerbated right now: spirituality, intuition, psychic ability, dreams, ideals, compassion and selfless service towards others. The shadow of Neptune can also be exacerbated – including deception, denial, victimization, psychosis, dissolution, ungroundedness and addiction. This is a great time to see beyond the veil of illusion, but be aware that you can also create what you want to see (informed by fears of fantasy) but it may not be based on any kind of reality. Stay open to intuition, faith and Trust- but make sure your powers of discernment are working as well ;)
Saturday July 1st-
At 1:06am the Sun cojoins Mercury at 9’08 Cancer, aligning the Conscious Self and ego with the Conscious Mind and Intellect. Sun/Mercury is amazing for insights, realizations and communications incoming that open our minds! With both bodies in watery lunar Cancer- we may also find our emotions, intuition and psychic ability opening up as well. What is amazing is that both the Sun and Mercury sextile Jupiter this morning (3:10am-6:36am)- which brings the planet of expansion and abundance into the mix! Very significant aha moments, big reveals and openings are incoming. As this astrology unfolds overnight and in the early morning hours- pay attention what unfolds from last night to this morning, including in your dreams.
The Sun/Mercury conjunction also tensely aspects Mars in Leo- at 4:50am Mercury semisquares Mars and at 5:53pm the Sun semisquares Mars- which brings an edge to thinking and communication. At best we can use Mars to speak up and deal with things head on- but the shadow side of this astrology is it can exacerbate arguments, aggression and combative energy. With Mars in Leo we want to be aware of when our ego is running things as it can get us into hot water today!
Sunday July 2nd-
At 10:21am Mars in Leo trines Eris in Aries, aligning the Will and Drive with the Goddess of Activism and Revealer of Truth. Eris is in the sign of Mars- so there is a double down energy incoming around taking action, setting boundaries and dealing with things head on. There can also be a double down energy playing out around aggression, arguments and war (Mars is the God of War, Eris is the Goddess of Discord and Chaos and sister to Ares in Greek Mythology). From Thursday of this week we have had harmonious alignments playing out with Eris and Pallas Athena- another War deity. At best this astrology helps us to take a stand for Truth and not back down! Just watch out for excess fire and ego- both of which can burn bridges if we are not careful.
Venus in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus at 10:33am- creating tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty with the Rebel, Revolutionary and Great Awakener! Wake up/shake up energy can play out in relationships, finances and our values. Uranus is seeking to free us of attachments to things/people/situations/energies that don’t serve our evolution. Being willing to think outside the box and do things radically different is key right now. Uranus is in the sign of Venus and this speaks to the radical and revolutionary awakening happening in the Divine Feminine, women, the body and our beloved Mother Earth. Venus/Uranus can also be about changes of heart- we may find ourselves opening our hearts more but we may also find ourselves ending relationships/patterns/situations that are not serving our hearts. Tuning into what is wheat and what is the chaff – what is foundational and what needs to be released- is key.
Have a blessed week…
