Friday, June 24th - The day begins with the Aquarius moon trining Mercury, squaring Mars and sextiling Uranus over the course of the morning. These three transits enhance communication skills and the ability to connect abstract thoughts and ideas, but may make it challenging to initiate change in the physical environment. The morning is slower moving than the mind would suggest, as ideas race forward while the world around us moves at a regular, or perhaps slower than normal, speed.
The moon is void of course from 11:48am until 10:30pm EST, when it enters Pisces. Intuition heightens tonight, and creative ability is more defined over the next day or two.
Saturday, June 25th - The moon trines the Sun in the signs of Pisces and Cancer this morning, which helps connect us with others. Empathy and compassion emerge in unlikely ways, and we may find ourselves drawing together with those around us. The moon trines Venus, squares Saturn and moves into conjunction with Neptune this evening. This is all quite day-dreamy and otherworldly type energy. We are moved to other planes of existence, and may find ourselves focusing on the past or future, or thinking of things that carry our minds to far-off places. Creativity flourishes under these transits, but it will be challenging to approach anything from a logical, step-by-step outlook. Working in abstraction and allowing spontaneity will yield better results.
Sunday, June 26th - This is an extremely active day and brings a quick succession of transits that may leave us feeling like our heads are spinning. The day starts off with the moon opposing the North Node and Jupiter and sextiling Pluto. Be careful of growing too pessimistic today. There is a tendency toward discouragement or giving up if things seem a bit difficult. Problems are magnified on this day, so it is best to wait and examine them again later on. You may find that solutions seem to emerge on their own. This will be particularly easy after this Wednesday, when Mars comes out of retrograde.
Jupiter and Pluto are in trine today, which is an excellent transit for increased foresight. Jupiter provides us luck and the ability to expand in the areas of our choosing, while Pluto increases our ability to see things that are hidden, and to bring about change in a slow, deliberate way. Pluto tends to move slowly, but Jupiter encourages quick change, and so these two planets join together to help us balance out our efforts.
We are just getting started with transits today! Mercury and Mars are inconjunct this morning, which suggests there may be a disconnect between the mental process and our body's responses. Rest may be required, or else we may need to wait a day or two to get any work done properly.
The moon squares Mercury and trines Mars, which strengthens the previously mentioned aspect (Mercury inconjunct Mars). Communication may fall flat today, even if it seems like your ideas are crystal clear. Others are distracted with their own ideas and problems, and so it may be best to wait until tomorrow to approach anyone with something extremely vital.
The moon moves void of course at 3:55pm EST, where it will stay until early tomorrow morning, but we are not done with aspects for the day.
Mercury and Uranus are in sextile, which is an excellent transit for writers, inventors and anyone looking to get ideas out on paper in a new and fresh way. While our thoughts may not translate through direct communication, it is an excellent day to work on written projects and get creative juices flowing. You may find that others respond better to written word than to something spoken aloud today and tomorrow.
The other big transit for the day is the Venus/Saturn inconjunction that hits tonight. This will put a strain on relationships of all sorts that seem aimless. If it feels like you have different goals from romantic partners, friends, co-workers, etc., then they will become more exaggerated this week. You may feel as though you are being forced to take care of someone else in a way that seems unbalanced. It is important to seek balance in relationships, this week especially. If your close contacts are leaving you feeling depleted then it will soon be time to adjust them drastically.
Monday, June 27th - The moon exits its void at 3:08am EST and enters Aries, beginning a new zodiac lunar cycle. Today is another heavy day in the cosmos, and so there are certain things that will require attention.
The first order of business is Chiron moving retrograde today. This Chiron retrograde is going to last until December (not counting the shadow period, which will bleed forward into March 2017). As I have mentioned before, this is the year of the retrograde. We are dealing with old baggage so that in 2017 we can move forward with a fresh perspective and make room for big, important change. Chiron brings with it old health issues, outdated ideas about our worth and abilities, and themes of bullying vs working together. This is going to be different for everyone (and will hit those of us with planets in 21-25 degrees Pisces the hardest), and will only bring light to those things that we have ignored that are hindering us in some way. Chiron's deal is to bring confidence to those areas in which we feel inferior, and to allow us to utilize this confidence to help others who are having the same issues. Chiron makes us take care of ourselves physically, and will only bring up issues to which there is a clear solution (even if it doesn't seem like it at first glance). The Mercury/Chiron square this afternoon will be our first Chiron retrograde 'lesson', and makes us aware of issues we have while communicating with others.
Venus and Neptune are in trine today, which unites us on a spiritual, cosmic level with those around us who are on our level. If you've been feeling the Venus/Saturn inconjunction energy this week, which points out relationships that deplete us, then this transit is a welcome balm. It enhances creativity and empathy for those around us, and puts us in line with people who are on similar paths. Use this transit to inspire yourself and see the way things could be if you make certain changes.
This evening, the moon sextiles the Sun and trines Saturn. It is a good time to tackle responsibilities, as the Sun's influence provides a bit more optimism and Saturn gives us a strong work ethic.
Tuesday, June 28th - The Aries moon squares Venus and Pluto this morning, creating some tension around future plans and leadership roles. There may be a tendency to either want more recognition or shrink back from receiving any at all, with no real in between. Relationship issues spring up, and tempers could be short. Focus is scattered today, so you may find it easier to work on several different things at once rather than putting all your attention on one subject.
Tonight, the moon moves into conjunction with Uranus. This is a creative evening with a lot of new ideas coming in for most. The energy is all over the place, and so it may be good to write things down or share with others so you don't forget. This is a genius, inventive vibration that could yield excellent thoughts and ideas that break new ground.
Wednesday, June 29th - The moon and Mercury are sextile this morning, enhancing communication and vision. The moon is void of course from 3:46am until 6:03am EST, when it enters Taurus. Today is a lot more grounded than yesterday, and allows for more concrete plans to take shape. While yesterday was spent more in the mental sector, today inspires physical changes.
Mercury enters the romantic, gentle moon-ruled sign of Cancer this evening at 7:23pm EST, joining the Sun and Venus. Having the planet of communication in this sign sharpens and hones our intuition for the next few weeks. We may be drawn to explore our pasts and ancestry, or find pleasure in history, antiques and old songs, movies and art. Conversations are feeling-based and we get further during the weeks to come when we appeal to other's artistic and emotional temperaments rather than cold, hard logic.
Mars moves direct tonight at 7:39pm EST. Physical stamina should pick up over the next week, and it will become a lot easier to take action in the world. We've been more subdued during this retrograde period, and that repressed energy may have caused some disturbances. As the red planet begins its forward motion through our visual field, we may find ourselves having to process anger or repressed emotion, but once it is out of our system we feel much better. Mars will be coming out of the retrograde shadow period until mid-August, meaning it is retracing the steps it made in retrograde. Plans that were delayed or any procrastination that occurred will begin to pick up the pace, but things will be back to normal, as far as our ability to take action goes, on August 22nd.
The moon sextiles the Sun tonight, providing a buoyant sense of optimism, particularly for Cancer and Taurus.
Thursday, June 30th - Venus and the North Node meet in exact sextile shortly after midnight. This is a highly cosmic transit that affects our relationships in a karmic way. We are drawn toward those who light up our own internal path, as well as those who bring attention to any road blocks we keep trying to avoid. You may find problems in relationships are amplified this week, but the flip side of this is that positive connections with others are enhanced as well. The best way to navigate things is to go with the flow. If you find yourself drifting away from someone whose path is different than your own, go with the current and see if you reconnect somewhere down the line.
The moon is very active today and is in the process of forming a loose kite pattern late this morning. The kite is a formation that occurs when a trio of planets are interlocked with a fourth leading planet, forming a series of aspects that are shaped like a kite. The moon connects up with Jupiter and Venus, with Pluto at the tip of the kite this morning at about 11am EST. The hinging opposition of Venus and Pluto further exaggerates the karmic relationship ties that are being activated by the Venus/North Node sextile. This kite creates a degree of artistic tension that allows for massive creative strides to take place, in both actual art projects and also in our every day lives. Relationships may dissolve and change, but this allows for growth. Today and into this weekend you may experience dramatic shifts in relationships, both personal and professional. It is worth noting that the Venus/Pluto opposition does create jealousy issues and some power struggles within the inner workings of relationships, so be aware of this over the next several days and think things over before acting in the heat of the moment in a way you may later regret.
The moon is void of course from 8:19pm EST until tomorrow morning.
