June 3 - 9

EARLY WEEK

Monday, June 3rd, is potent in the cosmos as six planets configure in the eastern sky, visible to the naked eye just before sunrise. This auspicious event kicks off powerful spiritual shifts. In addition, Mercury enters Gemini at 3:36am EST, joining the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter in this sign. Mercury, in its domicile here until June 17th, becomes curious, whimsical, and hungry for knowledge. This period is good for studying various topics and dabbling in different interests, though deep focus may be harder to find. . Later, the Sun sextiles the North Node of the Moon at 10:50pm, opening doors for new opportunities and aligning us with our higher purpose. If something in your life feels overwhelmingly bad this week, it could signal that significant change or action is needed to relieve the pressure. . Tuesday, June 4th, is an especially active day in the cosmos. At 1:29am, Venus sextiles the North Node of the Moon, setting us up for important meetings and connections. We may rekindle old friendships or meet new influential people. At 2:12am, Mercury trines Pluto, heightening our attention in thinking and communication. This positive flow between planets helps us recognize patterns and transform our mindset to tackle fears and self-doubt with increased willpower. At 6:23am, Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in Gemini, making us more talkative and inviting an exchange of information. Finally, at 11:33am, the Sun conjuncts Venus in Gemini, enhancing romantic connections and bringing greater passion as we share ideas and laughter. Today's transits are social and invite harmonious interactions. Reach out to those you feel you can talk to openly, and let the energy inspire and uplift you.

LATE WEEK

The end of the week is relatively quiet. We enter the Dark Moon period on Wednesday, June 5th, at 4:36am EST as the moon enters Gemini. The next two and a half days invite introspection. We may need to protect our boundaries or restore our energy after extensive socialization or being in public for too long. On Thursday, June 6th, the New Moon in Gemini perfects at 8:37am. This New Moon, at 16 degrees Gemini, is conjunct Venus and square Saturn. It's a perfect time to shed thought patterns holding you back. If your thoughts are particularly negative, it could feel impossible to change that overnight. Reaching for slightly more expansive thoughts can be helpful. For instance, instead of "everything goes wrong for me," try "things haven't been going right so far, but I'm open to that changing." From there you can acclimate to that energy, and then jump up a step to "things haven't been going my way, but there are a couple things in my life I'm very grateful for". The influence of Venus brings support from key friends, romantic partners, and family. New Moons are excellent for setting intentions, so if you want more supportive people in your life, focus your intention on that.

WEEKEND

This weekend begins with the Dark Moon period ending at 8:40am EST on Friday, June 7th, as the Moon enters Cancer. In its domicile, the Moon's energy is strengthened, allowing for greater expression of emotion, intuition, and receptivity to subtle energies. On Saturday, June 8th, Venus squares Saturn at 4:25am EST. This transit may highlight relationship responsibilities that feel burdensome. You might feel stressed by perceived rejection or think your signals are being missed. Continue to show up for those you love and offer your support. This transit encourages us to give this kind of care and attention to ourselves as well as to those we care about. . On Sunday, June 9th, Mars enters Taurus at 12:34am, where it will remain until July 20th. Mars in Taurus is stubborn and grounded, helping us feel more embodied. If you struggle with having your head in the clouds or being more disconnected from your physical body, this transit can be beneficial. Changing people's minds may be challenging during this period; they need time to arrive at their decisions. The energy of this transit is methodical and determined, making it difficult to change course once mapped out. Later in the day, the Sun squares Saturn at 6:35am, potentially causing frustration from responsibilities or external pressures. Go easy on yourself; we are all doing our best with the tools we have. Finally, Mercury sextiles the North Node at 12:28pm, allowing for open communication and the arrival of fresh, intriguing ideas.
