June 10-17, 2024

This week as planets leave Gemini, they square with Neptune in Pisces, before they move into Cancer. It’s said that any planet, an outer planet, in particular, being at the 29th degree is considered unstable. But, think about it…the energy is of leaving something you’ve been doing for a long time, and then moving into something brand new. Of course, there is going to be some anxiety AND excitement. 

June 11

Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries at 22 degrees- A sextile is considered an easier transit because it’s as if you both have skin in the game, so consider what you value and what’s worth the effort in love, relationship, and healing. Do the work now, because in early July, Venus and Chiron will square and that could be more stressful

Mars in Taurus square Pluto RX in Aquarius at 1 degree- There is a lot of intensity and vehemence to this transit.  You may even feel forced into changing something you like exactly the way it is. Taurus and Aquarius are fixed energies so they like things the way they are. What happens when you meet an immovable force? There’s a collision of sorts. My will VS your will. My ego VS your ego. In modern astrology, Pluto and Mars co-rules Scorpio, so there may be a feeling of being taken to the Underworld. What do we find when we dig underneath any power dynamics that show up at this time? What’s underneath this confrontational energy? Where are we digging in and refusing to budge?

June 13

Sun in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries at 22 degrees- As with the Venus sextile Chiron aspect that happened a few days ago, we are being shown areas that need our attention. We may feel burnt out or exhausted by our corporeal life. Do you have a trusted friend or mentor to talk about this with? Perhaps research you decide to initiate where you gather data and insight that fuels your curiosity. This goes hand in hand with the next aspect…

Mercury in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries at 22 degrees Mercury and Chiron are meeting in the middle right now (later on June 28th the two planets will square), so use this energy to do something that may be hard, but necessary. It’s the feeling of, “I’ll do it if you do it,” type energy. Maybe employ a friend to join the gym, a book club, start a journal, begin a meditation practice. Look for support in your healing in a friend or group who can hold space for a wellness journey. 

June 14

Mercury and the Sun conjunct in Gemini at 24 degrees- This feels like an “aha” moment, some sudden clarity or insight that comes at the right time and place. Gemini is a mutable air sign, so talking, discussing, and relating may help you shift your perspective. Can you get curious about your perceptions? Why do you think the way you do? How might a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) POV helps you to adapt or innovate?

June 16

Venus in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at 29 degrees- How do you tap into your creativity? What brings up feelings of compassion? We may feel unmoored in some way. Are we seeing things clearly? Do we need the fog to clear before we continue on our journey? We may need a time out or some rest, especially from media or talking about something over (and over and over). Agree to walk away for a bit if a relationship has hit a rough patch. Agree to come back after you’ve done some research or had a time to sit with whatever has come up. 

June 17

Venus moves into Cancer- What makes a house a home? How do we feel nurtured and/or supported. Who are we at the end of the day, when we close the door, and let our hair “down”? Venus will be in Cancer until about July 11th, so this is a time to focus on themes of love, beauty, home life, caring, connecting, supporting, and surrounding ourselves with people and experiences that nourish us. 

Mercury in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at 29 degrees- Our mind may feel muddled or foggy. Communications can go haywire. It could feel like a Mercury RX kind of feel. Things break down, we miss the call, we don’t hit send on a text, we forget an appointment.  We may have spread ourselves too thin and now feel overwhelmed by all the details. 

Mercury moves into Cancer- Mercury leaves Gemini, a sign it rules, for the feeling depths of Cancer. The conversation shifts to feelings and what we need to feel supported. Some conversations with loved ones could find us feeling held or cradled with support. We may not be able to talk about something directly, so look for some communications to go a little sideways or not as direct as maybe it’s been in the last few weeks Mercury was in Gemini. We may feel sentimental or get lost down memory lane. It may help to get quiet and retreat a bit. 

Mercury and Venus conjunct in Cancer at 0 degrees (considered an “Aries” point)- This could highlight a world story with Mercury and Venus meeting on an “Aries” point. We may hear something about Gaza and Israel, may it please be a message of PEACE. Who are your support systems? Gather your loved ones. Revel in the sense of love and belonging. Notice the sweet words offered by a friend or loved one that buoys you. Offer some peace offering or sustenance to others. 

**My intention with these weekly astrology reports is something like looking at a weather app. If you know it will rain, you’ll bring an umbrella. Awareness can help us navigate the Astro “weather” too. I  hope to share this information in an easily digestible way (not too much jargon).  Please read this information knowing that these energies can appear in higher or lower forms.
