June 5th – 11th

Remain Self-Expressed & Open 

 

This week’s headline items: Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo late on Monday morning; Saturn starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday; Venus squares the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio late on Thursday afternoon; the last Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Saturday afternoon; Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn and Mercury changes signs from Taurus to Gemini early Sunday.

 

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 4 hours), Thursday night/Friday early morning (for almost 6 hours), and Sunday late morning (for less than one minute).

 

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know that…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, June 5th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius and VoC until 3:31am EDT.

Monday at 3:31am EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning (June 7th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.

As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”.

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces. This is a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?

What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?

What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, being present, and feeling connected to the Universe in this now-moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?

Monday at 9:46am EDT, Venus changes signs from sensitive, protective Cancer to fun-loving, extroverted Leo, where it will journey until Oct. 9th — an unusually long time due to its upcoming Retrograde phase (in late July-early September). Venus in Leo changes how we “do” relationships.

We’re “in love with love”, so we especially appreciate (and are turned on by) gestures of love and romance. It goes the other way, too: we are warm, affectionate, and loyal with those we love and cherish (as long as they show us that they deserve our love). Grand gestures of love and exciting, tantalizing interactions work best. Lavish everyone with compliments (including yourself).

We also want to have fun and express our love for life… and what better way is there to do that than to throw a huge party for everyone we love? And if a “huge party” doesn’t appeal, don’t opt for the couch and the TV: get out there. It’s a good time to take a chance!

“Taking a chance” applies to the financial realm, especially any ventures related to entertainment, children, sports, or the stock market.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more outgoing and confident for the period Venus moves through Leo. Your heart will want to connect and be admired. Creative endeavors will feel satisfying to you. If you are a Leo Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.

Monday early afternoon, a Venus/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 12:05pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday morning (June 3rd) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday (June 8th). We are called to create a balance between our desire for having fun and expressing our love for life in the present moment versus our desire to transform and shake things up when it comes to our visions for ourselves and for our communities.

We can learn a lot about ourselves through relationships during this opposition phase. We may not altogether like what we see, though, as we perhaps glimpse our own “darker” side — and it will be critical that we recognize it as our own “stuff” rather than projecting it onto a romantic partner, collaborator, or friend.

Sexual intensity can be a part of this transit, too — as can fear of losing meaningful connections or of being abandoned. Ask yourself: What fears or concerns are coming into awareness in connection with an important relationship of mine? What needs to transform so I can honor myself and connect in an authentic way and thus experience an empowered version of myself? Might I deepen my relationships with others if I brought 5% more grace and an open heart to my interactions?

We have a deeply lodged need to establish a sense of self-worth at this time; we may start to argue or lay blame in order to feel better about ourselves. We need to be less concerned with how we “appear” to others and more with how we actually “are”.

All of this could bring up deep feelings in connection with other people. There also might be a tendency to confuse “Love” and “Power” right now; as best as you can, be true to yourself and come from an open heart rather than a scared one. Ask yourself: What would “Love” do?

An opposition always comes back to the starting point of the conjunction between the two planets involved. In this case, Venus and Pluto aligned on January 1st, 2023, at 27.5º Capricorn. Think back to that time: What relationships began at the beginning of this year? How about the relationship you have with yourself? What seeds were planted? What have you learned about your shadow, your focus, and your ability to stay committed to something or someone? How far have you come since then?

This opposition is also part of a T-Square with Jupiter in Taurus. Feel free to get my webinar about the “Grand Cross in the Fixed Signs” for more on the subject.

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio or 27-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this opposition. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio).
