Monday, June 26th ~ The moon is in gentle, airy Libra all day, turning our attention to beauty and symmetry. It reaches its First Quarter phase at 3:49am EST, which stimulates action and initiation. We seek out friends and community to assist us in our goals. Mars squares Uranus today at 5:22am EST, a transit we have felt building over the weekend and will continue to notice through midweek. This brings an adventurous, daredevil spirit to the week. Many will take risks and roll into action with very little forethought. This could end up paying off, but we may also see an uptick in accidents and fights this week as well. On the plus side, this transit does bring abundant creativity and flashes of insight that border on genius. Later in the day, Mercury enters Cancer at 8:23pm EST, chasing the tail of the Sun. Mercury will be here in this water sign until July 11th. Mercury in Cancer is soft, poetic, and gentle in its approach. We may be more memory oriented and nostalgic during this time, enjoying writing and reading beautiful prose, poems, and fiction. It is advisable to be very gentle when speaking to others over the next two and a half weeks. Feelings are much more likely to be hurt and so bad news should be softened or delivered with as much compassion as possible. Those with Mercury in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) and earth signs Taurus and Virgo will find that this comes naturally. Fire, air, and Capricorn Mercuries may need to approach things with more intention and awareness.
Tuesday, June 27th ~ We have a second full day with the moon in cardinal air sign Libra. We feel more artistically energized and seek out music, art, and collectables which bring further inspiration. The moon sextiles Venus at 6:56am and opposes Chiron at 9:21am EST. These are social transits which enhance our need for connection and love. We seek out distractions in the form of other people, and could prefer to avoid deep emotional work. The moon later sextiles Mars at 2:25pm EST and we may experience a burst of energy. Stretch, take a walk, or do a workout to channel the power of this transit. Later, Mercury sextiles the North Node of the moon at 4:55pm EST. Communication empowers us and opens up possibilities that did not exist beforehand. Speak your mind and overcome fear and resistance. You may experience sudden insights or ideas which allow you to view a problem in an entirely new light.
Wednesday, June 28th ~ Today we have a very active lunar day, with the moon making seven transits. We start off with the Libra moon squaring Pluto in Capricorn at 4:18am EST and then moving void of course for about a half an hour. The moon/Pluto transit brings frustrations to the forefront as we seek to find more independence and freedom from oppression. The moon's void ends at 4:55am EST as it enters Scorpio. The Scorpio moon is intuitive, deep, and private. It moves into conjunction with its South Node at 8:23am EST, connecting us to memory and people from the past. Nostalgia washes over us and brings sweet (or bittersweet) recollections. The moon trines Mercury at 11:31am, allowing an idea to take hold and direct our intention. Later, the moon enters its Waxing Gibbous phase at 5:49pm and trines Saturn at 6:06pm EST. The Waxing Gibbous phase is a time for adventure, excitement, and direct experience. We get the most out of jumping into situations and trying them out for ourselves. Saturn's influence brings steadiness to our actions and discernment when it comes to emotions. Later, the moon opposes Jupiter at 9:28pm EST, right before the Sun trines Saturn at 9:42pm EST. We may feel somewhat scattered with all the lunar activity, and Jupiter's opposition can make it challenging to focus or ground in. Thankfully, the Sun trine Saturn transit brings heightened discipline and a considerate, dutiful energy that really helps to reign all this in. The idea of meeting our responsibilities may seem difficult today, but once we get started we lock in and feel a sense of purpose.
Thursday, June 29th ~ The moon is in fixed water sign Scorpio all day, intensifying emotion and activating the intuition. Lunar Scorpio days are great for spiritual pursuits and training the intuition to develop further, like a muscle. Today Venus trines Chiron at 4:40am EST, though we feel this throughout the whole day. This aspect brings warm, loving healing to relationships. Places in our romances and friendships where we feel insecure will rise to the forefront today and we are given an opportunity to work through and heal them. We could also find healing through artistic expression, and through our shared creative endeavors. The moon squares Venus at 5:32pm and later opposes Uranus at 8:22pm EST. The instinct may be to hide away and protect yourself today, but much can be lifted by showing strength and being vulnerable with those we care about. This is a big week for communication in relationships. The more we can open up and be transparent and honest, the more we can release and free ourselves from.
Friday, June 30th ~ Today begins with the Scorpio moon squaring Mars at 12:05am EST, which can definitely make us all a bit grumpy and cranky. We may require more rest or space from others today. Mercury trines Saturn at 2:23am EST, an aspect we can feel throughout the majority of the day. Perseverance is a keyword for the day. Continuing to try new things and not giving up in the face of adversity brings immense satisfaction and reward. The moon trines Neptune at 6:58am and sextiles Pluto at 10:20am EST. We are able to access greater reaches of imagination and can use compassion to lead others and assist them in life. The moon is void of course from 10:21am until it enters Sagittarius at 10:59am EST. The Sagittarius moon is cheery, adventurous, and curious in nature. We will find this to be a more spirited weekend where we will likely want to get outside and explore. Neptune stations retrograde at 5:06pm EST, lasting until December 6th. The blue planet spends roughly five months of every year in retrograde, and during this time we enter a proverbial fog. The future may seem more uncertain, or we could find ourselves questioning our own intuition. The key here is maybe counterintuitive, but the more you can lean into your gut feelings and go with the flow, the easier it is to navigate this fog. Imagine you are on a street you've walked every day all your life, and suddenly a fog descends over it. While your eyes can't see where you're going, your muscle memory knows how to traverse this path. Trust the process and continue on. The moon squares Saturn to end the day at 11:08pm EST. Responsibilities hang heavy over the night, and they are the last thing we want to deal with. Go easy on yourself and take the night off, if you can. Even if you have to address them, you can make things easier by being kinder to yourself through it all.
Saturday, July 1st ~ Happy July! This month begins with a full day of the moon in mutable fire sign Sagittarius, readying us for exploration and spiritual seeking. The Sun conjuncts Mercury in Cancer at 1:05am EST, an exterior cazimi with Mercury on the far side of the Sun, outside of our viewpoint here on Earth. This allows for deep downloads and transmissions from the outreaches of the Solar System. Sudden flashes of knowing arrive today, particularly during the two hour period flanking this transit. If you are asleep during this time, you may have a meaningful dream or wake up with an idea or feeling which guides the day. Mercury sextiles Jupiter at 3:10am, and the Sun sextiles Jupiter at 6:25am EST. We are making magic happen today. These transits bring an optimistic energy to the lives of many and open up connections to the divine unfolding of all things. The best word to describe today's transits is "lucky". Luck is an energy that can be accessed by trusting our intuition and remaining open and nonjudgmental about what life is bringing us. It is easier to align to this feeling today. The moon trines Chiron at 8:29pm and trines Venus at 11:21pm EST. These are also positive transits which allow us to heal old spiritual or religious wounds and experience joy with someone we care about. Overall this is a remarkably positive day for the general collective.
Sunday, July 2nd ~ Today begins with the Sagittarius moon trining Mars at 5:18am EST. We may wake up earlier than normal today or find we have particularly vivid dreams, or dreams of flying. The moon squares Neptune at 9:33am and it then moves void of course for about four hours. We could find ourselves resisting something today. You may convince yourself you are right about something, but this just serves to block you off from moving through it and being able to let it go. Venus squares Uranus today at 10:33am EST which contributes to this energy. Surprises in relationships shake us up and can make us feel somewhat ungrounded or like we don't know someone as well as we thought we did. Creating a wall here might be a protective measure but ultimately does not allow for understanding and healing. Much of these interpersonal issues will be based on misunderstandings and weird timing. The moon's void period ends at 1:20pm EST as it enters Capricorn. This brings more steadiness to the emotions and allows us to take more responsibility when it comes to our feelings. Finally, the moon trines its North Node at 3:51pm EST, suggesting that by taking a leap and being courageous with sharing our feelings and thoughts, we can make major progress and free ourselves from drama.
