June Transits & Monthly Overview

June’s astrology promises a reprieve from the dense energetics of the past month. The personal planets' transitions into air and fire signs lightens the mood and softens hearts. In particular, Venus and Mars’ co-presence in Leo brings the heat we’ve been missing since April! Yet with three planets beginning their retrograde march, a reassessment of our personal and psychological priorities is in order. This moment isn’t just about how we feel or what we want; it is about choosing how we wish to show up within our social ecosystems.

NOTABLE TRANSITS

5/6 – Venus enters Leo: the planet of romance will spend the next four months transiting this passionate sign! Yet it’s looming retrograde foreshadows a re-evaluation of our heart’s desires, so begin paying extra attention to your attractions and preferences NOW.

11/12 – Pluto enters Capricorn: Pluto backtracks into the sign of the sea-goat for one last heist. Note how themes governed by the Capricorn sector of your chart have been transformed since 2008.

11/12 – Mercury enters Gemini: quick wits and curious conversations feature during Mercury’s sprint through its domicile, lasting just over two weeks.

17/18 – Saturn retrograde: the next four months ask us to review our participation within creative or spiritual institutions, erecting better boundaries where necessary.

19/20 – Jupiter sextile Saturn: this auspicious pairing engenders wise investments! Lasting success is our reward for patience and smart planning.

21/22 – Sun enters Cancer: nurturing our loved ones and safe spaces becomes the focus of the month ahead. Emotions and instincts trump logic, but inform reason.

26/27 – Mercury enters Cancer: communication is guided by empathy, but feelings and facts may be difficult to reconcile. Bias impedes judgement calls which require objectivity.

30/Jul 1 – Neptune retrograde: veils of illusion drop and rose-colored glasses come off amidst Neptune’s five-month reversal, forcing us to face reality.
