Greetings:

We can all breathe easier during June since all of the inner personal planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars) change signs in compatible signs of earth and water blending emotions and events with ease. Once again, we will have a detectible flow of emotional optimism. After the intensity of the past few months, we are ready to forge new paths as courage and clarity return. The most significant planet change occurs on June 9 when expansive, fortunate Jupiter enters cardinal water sign Cancer for the first time in 12 years. We can enjoy the possibilities of softer emotions as we focus on family, home, nourishment and belonging, a gift of yin energy which will last until July 1, 2026. Emily Dickinson says “I dwell in Possibility” – time for compassion and a deep sense of belonging with our family and our friends, our families of choice. The Sun moves into Cancer on June 20, the longest day of the year and the beginning of the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere. With Jupiter already in the sign Cancer, the Sun joins Jupiter bringing hope, optimism, ease, joy and humor as we begin a great transition full of gratitude and growth. It is time to reflect on the past and plan our greatest endeavors with hope and certainty. The luckiest day of the year occurs on June 24 when the Sun and Jupiter join together.

ASTROLOGICAL PATTERNS IN JUNE:

Venus begins the month of June in fiery Aries and has a supportive connection with Jupiter, a great time for social activities and feeling confident and courageous in relationships and financial matters. On June 6, Venus enters her home sign of Taurus, a fixed earth sign that increases our sensuality, stability and predictability.

On June 9 she squares Pluto in Aquarius, bringing passion, intensity and transformation to our lives. Venus remains in Taurus until July 4 when she moves into the air sign Gemini. Mercury and Mars create a pattern of self-expression and clarity of thought on June 6. Mercury remains in Gemini and dances with Mars in Leo, bringing determination and opportunity for understanding others. Mars will remain in Leo until June 17, during which time drama, passion and vivacity prevail. Mars enters Virgo until August 5, where productive energy allows us to get things done and with so much Mars energy it is possible to transform our lives with stronger than usual energy. Mercury joins with Jupiter in the last degree of Gemini on June 8, which will be good for a laugh and a great time to socialize. The following day,

June 9, as Jupiter enters Cancer with Mercury, there will be a powerful square with Saturn and Neptune in Aries. for the first time. Since Saturn and Neptune have not moved into Aries for 30 years (Saturn) or 150 years (Neptune), this will bring about forceful action and direct communication. Since Jupiter will remain in Cancer for one-year, new themes will emerge. Jupiter is very compatible with Cancer’s interests: home, family, compassion, a deep sense of belonging and comfort. On June15 Jupiter squares oƯ with Saturn, followed by Neptune on June 18. The planets are testing our courage, flexibility and perceptions of reality.

On June 11 a Full Moon in Sagittarius shone in the sky. Since the Sun was in Gemini with Mars in a triangle with the Full Moon, this is a great time to entertain, travel, enjoy companionship and take action where you have been stuck. The Full Moon in fiery Sagittarius brings a bold energy forth, particularly in discussions with those you want to be totally honest with. This is a Strawberry Moon, and it brings us the desire to learn more about the world and expand our perspective of life, travel and the pursuit of adventure. This is a joyous Full Moon which brings harmony, passion, courage and excitement to our lives. The Summer Solstice arrives on June 20 and is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The Sun arrives in Cancer, along with Jupiter and Mercury, all of which are cardinal signs of action. Since Saturn and Neptune are in the cardinal fire sign Aries, it is time to reflect on the past so we can better understand how we got to this place, and plan to go forward with courage, determination and emotional passion. It is time to change our foundations so we can build successful plans and endeavors. For the next 6 months daylight will lessen and night light will prevail until the Winter Solstice. With so many planets in action packed cardinal planets, it is time to build a new foundation and use the energy to succeed without so much struggle. On June 24, the Sun and Jupiter conjoin and the combination they create is supposed to be the most fortunate day of 2025. I hope we can all be bold on that day to test it out!

On June 25 a New Moon in Cancer forms while expansive Jupiter is in the mix. This New Moon in Cancer brings us a sense of overflowing warmth and emotional connection with others, especially with family and the family we choose. It is a perfect day for gratitude, healing and taking care of one another. We will enjoy planting seeds which will increase the loving support of those who are going through the epic tide of change with us. Mercury takes over the last week of June as he moves into dramatic Leo on June 26, so don’t be surprised if you and others become bolder, enjoy creative projects and allow romantic adventures to appear. This is a strong time for dreaming, asleep or awake. On June 29 Mercury opposes Pluto in Aquarius for a time of intense awareness of our needs, as well as allowing deep mysteries to come to the surface.
