June Monthly Forecast

Welcome to the June Monthly Forecast!

While we’re out of eclipse season and mercury retrograde, there’s a lot of movement this month. Planets start moving forward, others backwards, there are changes of signs and seasons, and we have our fair share of aspects. The week of June 10 - 18, is a jam packed astrological week!

So read on for this month’s forecast, here as a resource when you’re wondering what is going onnnn!

June 3

Mercury stations direct

The collective breathes a sigh of relief! While Mercury still stays in his retrograde shadow for another couple weeks, he's moving forward again. Our thoughts begin to feel like they have more of a direction, feel as if they're taking on new life. There's an energy of momentum that wants to return. But they're still moving slowly while in Taurus. Patience is key. Observe what themes emerged over the retrograde period and follow the leads as we prepare for Mercury to enter his home sign once again. 

June 4

Saturn stations retrograde

As one planet begins to move forward, another starts moving back. A collective planet, Saturn retrogrades effect us less personally. Less dramatically. These are slow moving retrogrades that allow us the opportunity to review, reflect and reinterpret the structures that we're building in our lives. What areas of our life we are being drawn to devote time, energy and perseverance to. Where there is a deep calling to develop one's own mastery skills with steadfast dedication. (It can be helpful to look at which house Saturn is transiting through!). Saturn stays retrograde until October so we have lots of time to reflect on these themes.

June 10

Mercury trines Pluto

Mercury ventures into the underworld with deep devotion today (he is the only god who can venture into the Underworld!). He is no fool. He knows that we must touch the depths of ourselves to receive true guidance. True inspiration. True transformation. This set up grants us profound access into soulful contemplation. Into parts of ourselves, and the world, that may look less frightening today. Even if conversations are heavy, take you into the abyss, stay with them. Take to the written page, talk with a friend, see where this Guide of the Souls wants to take you today. It may hold the wealth you seek.

June 11/12

Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus

Venus and Uranus meet up exactly in the sky today. This is a powerful duo that can send shockwaves through our systems. For better and for worse. With Uranus involved, he's the maverick energy that we never know how will manifest. While external situations can appear from nowhere with Uranus (that sudden run in with an ex from 20 years ago?), so can life changing insights. There can be profound revelations and realizations of what it is we truly need, truly value (and maybe where that is not being met). What it is that we value in relationships, what is it we value in ourselves. There is a chance for deep insights if we slow down, prioritize embodiment. Tune into the messages that our bodies are trying to bestow upon us. Expect the unexpected!

June 13

Mercury enters Gemini

He's baaaaack! Back in his home sign, he is ready to have a BALL. The two hundred books you've wanted to read? The sixty friends in an hour you want to message? The learning an entire philosophy in an afternoon? He believes he can do it all! And may try to ;) He wants to go, to move, to explore; to get curious about all the magical ideas that exist in the world. He knows the power of connection, of communication. This is a time to write, to discuss, to learn, to play! But when over his limits, we can feel 'mind-trapped'. Caught in overly analytical loops, spinning in a hundred different directions unable to focus on one. So slooow down, return to the body, return to your senses. Let him catch his breath before moving onto the next adventure.

June 14

Sagittarius full moon - stay tuned for the moon musing!

June 15

Venus conjunct North Node/opposite South Node & Mars conjunct Chiron

While two different aspects occur today, there is a theme of deep healing. Venus wants to remind us of the pleasure we receive when we listen to the call of our soul. When we remember the value of our self-worth to guide us forward in this life. How profoundly healing embodiment practices are. While Mars cozies up with The Wounded Healer, potentially exposing some of our deepest wounds in a spotlight, only for them to be transmuted into our greatest gifts. Things could feel a little raw at first, especially after the full moon, but remember that our personal warrior and our personal goddess are in action and receptivity for our deep healing.

June 16

Sun trines Saturn, Sun squares Neptune

While there are two aspects going on today, both involving the Sun, they bring in very different energies. The Sun trines Saturn to allow us to sink into the areas of our life where we're really showing up. Give ourselves a pat on the back for all we've accomplished. Honour our steadfast worker that has guided us to where we are in this moment. The future seems possible, the structures are appearing. And we feel we have the perseverance to do it.

While on the other end of the spectrum, the Sun squaring Neptune can feel like we're floating adrift. Cast out to sea lost in our imaginations, our fantasies, our delusions. It may feel confusing, like a light mist clouds what lies in front of us. Pulled in a multitude of directions while unable to commit to any of them. There may be a desire to escape, to tune out, to forget this mundane world. But if we can keep ourselves afloat, keep connected to that inner knowing, the guidance we ca receive from the invisible realms could be profound.

June 18

Venus squares Saturn, Venus sextile Neptune

We could feel a constriction of pleasure today. Of what brings us joy. We could be looking at the world, ourselves, our relationships with a stern eye today. Feel a tinge more critical of our surroundings. We want to live from a place of joy and pleasure but That Voice is telling you to get a grip. That's when we can consciously call on the supportive influence of Neptune today, to help us remember that actually, yes, our wildest dreams are possible. That yes, what I imagine can come true. Elation is possible. Pleasure is a right.

June 21

Summer/Winter Solstice: Sun enters Cancer

The sun leaves the airy, mental realm of Gemini to return to balance in the watery realm of Cancer. Here we prioritize the feels. The messages our gut sends us. The guidance our intuition bestows upon us. The only sign ruled by the moon, Cancer teaches us to ebb and flow like the phases of the moon, like the tides. That our emotions are anything but static. They are ever-shifting, ever-evolving. And when reaching tidal wave proportions, we may lean towards retreating into ourselves, into our shells, for protection. But there is a profound sensitivity available to us here, a profound receptivity. Here we sink into the power of the feminine. Of being. Of receiving. We nurture ourselves and our needs with the care and tenderness of The Great Mother.

June 22/23

Venus enters Gemini

After a slow, sensual recharge in her home sign, Venus moves into Gemini to experience pleasure and joy through connection. Through exchanging thoughts and ideas, exploring new possibilities and adventures. Here she priortizes the value of communication in relationships, that if words aren't being exchanged, something is amiss. This is a time to remember the power and pleasure that lie in the intellect. To connect with those its been a minute with. To express yourself unabashedly to anyone who will listen. Being in the sign of the Twins, she can still bring us into the shadows, turn on a dime and leave you wondering where that outburst came from. Where that dark moodiness brewed from. But if listened to, she returns to the light as quickly and buoyantly, ready for play!

June 28/29

Cancer new moon - stay tuned for the moon musing!

June 29

Neptune stations retrograde

Neptune begins his yearly retrograde through his home waters of Pisces. Neptune transits are what are called "transpersonal". They don't really effect us personally, or even collectively. But retrogrades always give us pause for review and reflection. Think of this as a super slow and dreamy opportunity to see if there is anything that is needing to be dissolved in your life (you can look to the house Neptune is transiting through for guidance). Where is our lack of faith in what's possible inhibiting us? Where could we fully surrender even more to forces higher than us? Where in our lives could use an extra hit of magic and belief? Dream dreamily and big!

June 30

Sun conjunct Black Moon Lilith

Here we shine a light on our more primal selves. The wildness and wilderness that lives within us all. Wanting to return a nature balance to the world, to ourselves, this duo allows us the opportunity to see ourselves as whole. To see primal emotions such as jealousy and rage and unbridled passion as therapeutic tools into reaching our own deepest vulnerabilities. We look to honour ourselves as complex creatures with a natural affinity for the rhythms and cycles of nature. When we remember to see ourselves as part of nature, we return to our true inherent power.

Much love,
