Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 7th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day; it will journey there until Wednesday early morning (July 9th). We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn.
We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — and we’re also physically restless and must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — and we also have a high degree of independence. Taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come more easily than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just be mindful that you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday at 3:45am EDT, Uranus changes signs from steady, comfort-loving Taurus to versatile, fast-thinking Gemini.It makes its first pass through this fickle Air sign untilNov 7th, 2025.
When Uranus enters Gemini, we step into a radically new chapter — one buzzing with invention, disruption, and lightning-speed evolution in the ways we think, learn, and connect.
Uranus, the planet of awakening, liberation, and quantum leaps, is anything but subtle. It doesn’t tiptoe into a room; it kicks the door off its hinges and declares, “We’re doing this differently now.”
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is a mutable air sign known for its agility, intellect, and curiosity. Together, this duo creates a potent cocktail of electric ideas, unpredictable shifts, and brilliant breakthroughs.
This initial dip of Uranus into Gemini (July 7th – November 7th, 2025) gives us a taste of what’s to come during its full transit from April 25th, 2026, to August 3rd, 2032, and again briefly in 2033.
Expect the unexpected — and expect it to move fast.
Uranus in Gemini shakes up the very structure of our thoughts and conversations. It challenges us to:
Upgrade the way we think and process information
Dismantle outdated ideas to create a more inclusive and visionary future
Take bold, curious first steps toward a more connected and conscious collective
This transit poses powerful questions:
Where are we being called to rewire our mental circuits? How might old paradigms be holding us back? What new perspectives are waiting to be born through disruption?
==> Join us on Wednesday at 6:30pm EDT for a more in-depth look at Uranus in Gemini, and to see how this 7-year journey will impact you personally! If you are not already registered, click here for more information ==> Early Bird Special ends tonight! <==
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you will feel Uranus’ first pass through Gemini quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign inAquarius (Uranus rules Aquarius).
Monday early morning, a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 4:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (July 4th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdayevening (July 9th). This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives.
We are more likely to experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.
This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. The work we’ve done might well pay off, and we will be able to manage our finances better, with more attention to diversity, visions, and eliminating anything that no longer serves us.
We might renew a long-term vision under the influence of this aspect or bring new, more profound, and more intimate energy into a relationship or intellectually stimulating connection.
Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone like-minded, almost to the point of obsession.
If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the “love of your life.”
One thing is certain — the relationships or intellectually stimulating connections we experience now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.
Where are you being asked to transform? To trust the universal process?
For a more in-depth look at Pluto in Aquarius as it relates to your birth chart and to see what the next 20 years are about, collectively and individually, check out my webinar about “Pluto in Aquarius until 2044” ==> Click here for more info.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Gemini, Aquarius, or Libra? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Monday at 5:29pm EDT, we enter a very long Moon VoC that will last for 35.5 hours, until 4:45am EDT (Wednesday early morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments.
As best as you can, honor your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to problem-solve and manage your daily health and work routines.
As best as you can, distinguish what is needed in the moment, and be mindful of where you expend your energy.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan out Monday evening through early Wednesday.

Back to the Full Moon — let’s look at the planets involved in this Full Moon chart:
The Moon in Capricorn trines the South Node in Virgo.
The Sun in Cancer trines the North Node in Pisces, and makes a wide conjunction to Jupiter.
Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is highly involved in this Full Moon chart:
It will be exalted at the time of the Full Moon — something is “in our face” concerning our current Earth lessons
It is aligned with an exalted Neptune in Aries
It is part of a unique and rare Minor Triangle comprised entirely of outer planets — this includes an exalted Uranus, which switched signs from Taurus to Gemini just three days before the Full Moon was exact
I will cover Saturn in more detail momentarily, but first, let’s look at the polarities of this Full Moon:
The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn opposes the Sun in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer.
We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the connection we have to our feelings and emotional needs, plus our ability to feel emotionally connected to others (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals out there in the world (Capricorn).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 30th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late afternoon, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
We are generous with our time and services and love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday around 2:15am EDT, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase, when it reaches 4º16′ of Leo; this is 2 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on July 17/18th at 15.5º of Leo).
Mercury is the planet of communication and information exchange. Communication starts within our minds — our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.
What is the Shadow phase?
The period immediately before and after a planet’s Retrograde phase is referred to as the “Shadow phase”; at these times, the planet travels through the same degrees of a sign (or signs) it will also pass through during its Retrograde phase.
Mercury is usually in its shadow for about two to three weeks before and after a Retrograde phase.
If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items — especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) — be aware of the Shadow periods as well as the Retrograde phases.
If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters its pre-Shadow or wait until after the post-Shadow phase is over — post-Shadow phase will end on August 24th, 2025 (in this case).
Of course, if something must get done during these phases, don’t put your whole life on hold just because Mercury is Retrograde or in its Shadow. Sometimes, things line up precisely at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it’s all “perfect.”
When Mercury moves through its pre-Shadow phase in Leo, it’s important to pay attention to what arises in our lives related to joy, self-expression and creativity or taking risks. This is a time to connect with our inner joyful child-energy
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to be joyful, happy and appreciate myself and life? How playful could I allow myself to be?
Whatever mental connections, thoughts, or conversations we initiate between June 30th and July 17th must be reviewed during the Mercury Retrograde phase (July 18th – August 11th).
Monday around 9am EDT, when the Sun reaches 9º of Cancer,it squares the Solar Eclipse degree from March 29th, 2025 (which was in 9º of Aries).
This signals a potential turning point in our awareness of our personal goals and passions, our ability to forge our own path, and our sense of Self in this incarnation. Watch for important developments today.
The ability to be fully ourselves and pursue our desires and passions is a crucial factor in all endeavors — and we strengthen this ability when we allow ourselves to receive nurturing and take care of our “inner baby” — the most vulnerable part of our psyche.
How has your connection to your human identity shifted since March 29th? How about your connection to your goals? Or your physical fitness?
If you really stopped and checked, might you find you are ready to receive additional support for the next step of your journey?
Ask yourself: What might shift if I allowed myself to receive support? What (or who) might be part of this shift? What could I gift to myself to support my journey of self-realization?
What might I experience if I began to step out of my comfort zone and go after my passion goals? What might my “inner baby” need from me to feel safe and cared for so it can support my passions? How about the “inner mother archetype” — how might “she” help me nurture myself?

This week’s headline items: Neptune and Uranus remain exalted all week; there will be a powerful YOD early in the week; the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Wednesday morning; Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Thursday afternoon; Neptune’s station intensifies Saturday night, and we can start taking actions on our New Moon Intentions from Sunday early evening on.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: a mammoth 43+ hour one that runs from early Monday until late Tuesday; the next one takes place early Friday (it lasts 49 minutes), and the third and final one is on Sunday morning (for 41 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
I’m now offering a free monthly live stream on the Soulivity Live community platform called: THE STAR HOUR!
Our next one is Live on Saturday, June 28th at 12:30pm EDT/9:30am PT/5:30pm London-time! ==>RSVP here
We’ll explore current astrological events together, share our experiences with the shifting energies, and talk about how to use Astrology as a compassionate, supportive tool for growth.
Let’s make evolving feel less scary and more empowering!
Monday is quite a busy and unusual day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; it will journey there until Tuesday, late evening. Until then, we seek to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably while multitasking. The one thing we want to avoid is boredom: If our mind is not engaged, we might as well curl up and play dead.
Monday, early morning:a somewhat challenging Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday morning (June 21st) on; it will be strong until this Tuesday evening (June 24th).
This aspect will be part of a YOD-configuration that can be felt today and tomorrow (Tuesday). I also talked about this in the current New Moon video. Feel free to watch this 20-minute video for more on the subject.
This aspect has an air of intensity, and we get the sense that something very powerful is happening in our bodies, surroundings, or daily routines. Quincunxes can affect our health or well-being, so take extra care of yourself over those three days.
(For more about this Mars/Pluto alignment, please check Sunday’s post. We already talked about this aspect in detail on June 22nd)
Monday at 4:26am EDT, we enter an especially long Moon VoC that will last for a little over 43 hours, until 11:44pm EDT(Tuesday late evening). Use this intuitive time to get things done, even if you feel frustrated at times.
You may feel tension between the need to connect, interact, and learn (in other words, to stay mentally in movement), versus the need for a practical approach to problem-solving (in other words, to zoom in and be mindful about what’s needed, when, and why).
Resolving this tension might necessitate creative actions and stretching yourself. The key here is to balance being of service and maintaining discernment, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.
You may feel scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself or others.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning until Tuesday late evening ahead of time.
Monday early morning, a challenging Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 4:29am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (June 19th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning (June 26th). This aspect asks us to stretch and grow.
On the one hand, we want to feel comfortable, confident, and centered; on the other hand, we are compelled to heed our intuition and act on its subtle cues.
As you can perhaps guess, we’ll experience more “flow” in areas that favor intuition and imagination, such as creativity or spirituality. If possible, hold off on plans for more “practical” things.
We might feel more emotional or sensitive, but we are being asked to have faith in the infinite support we receive daily from the universe, whether we understand it or not.
Ask yourself: Is it possible that my emotionally conditioned persona is very different from who I need to be to live out my highest potential? If that were so, would I trust my inner knowing and my “energy body” a little more?
What if I allowed myself to pay less attention to what’s familiar and safe, and instead, got excited about being the change I want to see in the world? Would that help me actively create this world by trusting that I can?
What if I allowed myself to simply be the divine energy that I am? Could I go with the flow and “rest in the knowing” that all is well, all the time?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn, or 29 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo, Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday night, a somewhat challenging Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:16am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build Friday morning, June 20th; it will remain strong until Saturday morning (June 28th). This aspect operates more on an internal level.
We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.
We might find it difficult to reach agreements — or even common ground with others — and this could result in uneasiness: We need to make changes, but don’t necessarily know what, how, or when.
If we are not in touch with ourselves, we could also adopt an all-or-nothing attitude, so do your best to avoid confrontation until you are clear on what you want. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?
Ask yourself: What if I allowed myself to feel the fear while staying connected to what grounds me? Might inner awareness of those two energies help me let go of wanting control over my own or other people’s experiences?
Where might I look for empowering methods to bring about the change I want for myself and others? What calls for conscious awareness and acknowledgment before I move forward?
What if all is well, all the time? Even when there is apparent chaos and things feel out of control? Despite overwhelming and concrete evidence that things are not well right now, never were, and never will be? What might I experience if I surrendered to a higher power? A higher order? What might taking a deep breath and refocusing on those areas I have influence over do for me right now?
This aspect will also be part of a YOD configuration that can be felt today and tomorrow (Tuesday). I talked about this in the current New Moon video. Again, feel free to watch this 20-minute video for more on the subject.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 2-4 degrees of Cancer or Aquarius? Or, given that Pluto is the ruler of Scorpiowhile Jupiter rules Sagittarius, your Ascendant or Sun-sign is in Sagittarius or Scorpio? If either is true for you, you’ll likely feel this aspect more strongly than others.

Before we jump in, I just want to mention a new Live Stream event I am doing once a month on the Soulivity Live community platform, called: THE STAR HOUR
Feel free to join our next free Live Streamon June 28th at 12:30pm EDT, and invite friends or family who have questions about Astrology that you haven’t been able to answer for them.
We’ll discuss current astrological events and your own experiences with the current energies and planetary shifts. And we will also talk about how to use this powerful tool in a compassionate and useful way that makes growing and evolving less scary and instead leaves you feeling more supported and ready for what’s to come.
This upcoming New Moon is the first one in 23 years with a Jupiter alignment. The last one with a Jupiter conjunction in Cancer was in July 2002. This colors this New Moon in a whole new light — and all three celestial bodies will be making several aspects together:
A Square with the “new” Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries (Neptune in Aries is also exalted, due to its upcoming yearly Retrograde phase, which begins on July 4th)
A Quincunx to Pluto in Aquarius (Pluto is also the Focal Point of a Yod aspect)
A Sextile to Mars in Virgo (Mars is also part of this Yod)
Here are some other aspects connected to this expansive, feeling-oriented New Moon:
Mercury, the planet of communication, aka “the messenger”, will also be in Cancer, making a sextile to an exalted Uranus in Taurus and a square to Chiron in Aries
Pluto in Aquarius trines an exalted Uranus in the last degree of Taurus and also sextiles not only an exalted Neptune in Aries, but also Saturn in Aries! This creates what’s called a Minor Triangle.
Venus in Taurus makes a close Trine to the South Node in Virgo and a Sextile to the North Node in Pisces
Before we unwrap the meaning of all of this, let’s first talk about the Cancer archetype:
Cancer is the first water sign of the zodiac, as such, it relates to the development of the “emotional body” — so this Moon cycle amplifies feelings, instincts, and needs.
Feelings are an essential source of information about our true needs — they are a dashboard that tells us what is healthy for us. When we don’t heed that information, we become dependent on others for validation and direction, or lose ourselves in addictions and distractions.
Ask yourself: What might I do differently if my feelings were just little children who wanted to be heard? What price might I be paying for denying or suppressing their little voices?
Cancer represents the yin, receptive principle, which births, nurtures, and protects life. The Sun and Moon in Cancer remind us that we must also receive as well as give. Both constant giving and constant taking are unhealthy and unsustainable. Cancer is all about…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 2-6 degrees ofCancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeoorCancer(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be any time between6:32am today (June 25th) and 1:16am (on Friday, June 27th) and then again, 49 minutes later, between 2:05am and 6:32am (on Friday, June 27th).
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook Pageorfollow me on Twitter, Instagram, threads, or Bluesky, as I post reminders on June 25th, 26th, and 27th to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.

This week’s headline items: Neptune remains exalted all week; Uranus moves into 29 degrees of Taurus (an exalted degree) late Monday evening; Mars finally changes signs from Leo to Virgo early Tuesday; the last Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon; Friday evening, the Sun changes signs from Gemini to Cancer — this also marks the yearly Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Balsamic Moon phase begins, Saturday evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for 38 minutes), Wednesday late afternoon/early evening (for 1.5 hours), Friday late evening (for 4 minutes), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 1 hours).

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 2:09pm EDT. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.
Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, innovative methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space — and personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday at 1:31pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for 38 minutes, until 2:09pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to engaging with like-minded people.
Do your best to find a balance between your need for a cause that changes the future for some (or many) and your desire for heartfelt, joyful self-expression and courageous actions.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 2:09pm EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday evening (June 18th). This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities.
A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also an excellent time to release fears—especially those based on a sense of separation—and experience “oneness.”
Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.
Neptune is the ruler of Pisces — and it is currently in Aries, making these next two days a great time to take a look at how we personally embody our own spiritual understanding and how we put it into action — being the change that we want to see in the world.
How can we infuse our interactions with 5% more idealism, spirituality, and creativity? How can we experience ourselves as spiritual or creative warriors?
It’s also a great time to center ourselves in our hearts, inspire others through new and exciting ideas or dreams, and demonstrate compassion and kindness.
Ask yourself: What did the last 14 years teach me about my intuition? What lessons did I learn about the interconnectivity of all life? What sacred gift was I given? Where will I use that gift?
What am I called to bring forth? What could I inspire in others? What action is inner knowing guiding me to take next?
This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon).
Monday around 9:30pm EDT, Uranus reaches 29 degrees of Taurus, remaining in this exalted degreeuntil July 7th.
Uranus began its journey through Taurus on May 15, 2018, marking the start of a 7-year passage through this slow-moving, steady, comfort-oriented zodiac sign.
Due to its yearly Retrograde phase, Uranus temporarily returned to Aries on Nov. 6th, 2018, and then re-entered Taurus on March 6th, 2019.
When a celestial body reaches 29º of a sign, as Uranus has now, it has one last chance to express itself fully before changing signs, resulting in heightened (or “exalted”) energy.
It’s now or never! We are strongly encouraged to conduct one last exploration of our own values and connections to our bodies, our resources, talents, etc. while Uranus is in Taurus.
Again, Uranus will move through the last degree of Taurus until July 7th; during this time, our focus on physical matters — how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit — is heightened.
We may also want to pay attention to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us.
As best as you can, make the most of this powerful last degree by being very careful which visions you value and pursue (and which visionaries you listen to).
You can think of Uranus as having two “modes” in this sign. The first is intuitive, and leads to new ideas and breakthroughs; the second is reactive and fear-based, leading to destruction and breakdowns, which harms our body, other people, and the planet.
Ask yourself: Which mode am I choosing at this moment?
It’s up to you to decide in every moment, so choose wisely!
Ask yourself: Have I experienced any breakthroughs around my self-worth since May 2018? Or money? How much do I value my own unique preferences? What has changed in the last 7 years for me on the physical plane? What is asking for completion?
Due to its yearly Retrograde, Uranus will return to this exalted degree (29º) of Taurus between Nov. 7th, 2025 and Dec. 1st, 2025, and again for the last time between April 6th – 26th, 2026,
Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 27-29 degrees Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius will feel the impact of this exalted energy more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

On June 9th, 2025, at 5:02pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from versatile, fast-thinking Gemini to nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It journeys through this protective, vulnerable Water sign until June 29th, 2026.
Jupiter takes about a year to move through each of the twelve zodiac signs; given this, it returns to a sign approximately every twelve years. **More about dates later…
In our natal chart, Jupiter’s position reveals how we express generosity and tolerance, trust others, and improve our lives. Jupiter is about expansion, possibilities, perspectives, and mental and spiritual growth.
Ask yourself: Where do I look for wisdom and understanding? Where do I need movement and spaciousness? Where do I hold perspectives or beliefs that come from my social conditioning? How do I interpret and navigate life? Where do I feel optimistic and believe things will turn out ok? What mantra gets me through tough spots?
Jupiter represents the principle of expansion; it operates like a magnifying glass. During its time in Gemini (May 2024 – June 2025), the magnifying glass highlighted more opportunities to listen, learn, teach, or write — and to get excited about sharing and staying connected with others.
We might also have wanted to contribute to life through interesting communication and sharing information. This could have shifted our attitude towards our mental realm, including our mind, thinking, and inner dialogue.
Conversely, JupiterinCancer brings the magnifying lens to bear on emotional safety, home, and family. The opportunity now is to bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to creating a home that feels expansive and comfort-inducing.
This one-year transit also supports our self-care and helps us encourage our loved ones’ self-care. It helps us have faith in our ability to expand familiar connections. Again, Jupiter will be in Cancer until June 29th, 2026. During this time, we invite good fortune by…

All this is especially true if you are a Sagittarius or have a Cancer Sun or Rising sign. As a Sagittarius, you will feel a greater need to connect to loved ones and feel at home, wherever you are.
As a Cancer, you are likely to feel a heightened sense of possibility and a strong need to grow and expand your emotional connections with others. This growth will guide how much you connect to what’s important for you between now and June 2026.
What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and June 2026? Where are you ready to experience more curiosity, adaptability, and exchange of information with others?

This week’s headline items: Jupiter moves into Cancer early Monday evening; Jupiter will be in an exalted degree until Saturday; a Full Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact early Wednesday; Neptune starts to slow down (station) on Friday, preparing for its yearly Retrograde phase. The week ends with some powerful Squares: one between Mars & Uranus, and another between Jupiter & Saturn — both are exact on Sunday, but can be felt all week and most of next week, too.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for almost 3 hours), Wednesday late afternoon (for 6 hours), and Saturday early morning (for a little over 2 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 9th:
Monday, is a huge day (astrologically speaking)!The Moon remains in deeply passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 10:56am EDT. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us now; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as 100% dishonest.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us.
This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday morning, a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening(June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesdayevening (June 10th).
This aspect encourages us to stretch, grow, and mature. It’s important to be mindful of misunderstandings and rigid thinking, both in our interactions with others and in our inner dialogue. During this period, we may feel somewhat somber or serious.
On one hand, Mercury in Cancer encourages us to be attuned to our surroundings and to listen more sensitively when receiving information. We might find it challenging to maintain objectivity, as our emotions are likely to influence our interactions. We tend to gravitate toward what feels familiar or reflects our past experiences.
On the other hand, Saturn in Aries reminds us that to pursue new endeavors, we need to ensure that our actions align with our personal goals. This may require us to eliminate anything that distracts us from our passions. Achieving this alignment will require us to slow down and focus on ourselves.
Ask yourself: Am I truly interested in building long-term connections with others? What is the worst that could happen if I chose “quick” over “quality”?
Am I truly focused on myself? Or is my mind getting lost in emotional content (or the past?)
Find creative ways to connect and share with others from a vulnerable place, while staying committed to pursuing your passion goals in a mature, self-responsible, and determined manner.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-1 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or 28-29 degrees of Gemini,Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.
This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).
Monday at 8:06am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 3 hours, until 10:56am EDT. Use this intuitive time to examine your relationship to money, power, and resources (personal and shared).
Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others against my wish to honor my values and desire for freedom?
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time.
Monday at 10:56am EDT, the Moon will move into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening (June 11th). We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn.
We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — and we’re also physically restless and must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:20pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening(June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdaymorning (June 11th). The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.
Venus represents our relationships (including the one with ourselves) and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations.
This aspect could also challenge us to find meaning in our lives through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.
You may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: as best you can, empower rather than disempower.
We may become obsessed with our social networks or affiliations or our finances during this time.
We may also experience Pluto through our partner or social interactions in the form of manipulation or controlling behaviors; we must be especiallywary of resisting change and holding onto negative attachments.
It’s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can you grow and evolve in your relationships? Is there a relationship that you need to grow and evolve out of? This could also include your relationship to money or social affiliations.
This aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs — don’t start a relationship with “just anyone”, in order to avoid being alone.
Remember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love, and a genuine desire for intimacy — and work on being worth finding in the meantime …
As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Remember: “fear” is resistance to life, “love” is acceptance and openness towards life.
Stay flexible and open-minded, nurture yourself, and make sure you have everything you need to come from a place of inner strength & empowerment.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-7 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio, or Leo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Monday at 5:02pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from versatile, fast-thinking Gemini to nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It journeys through this protective, vulnerable Water sign until June 29th, 2026.
Jupiter takes about 12 years to move through the twelve signs of the Zodiac, spending roughly a year in each sign. Fittingly, the giant planet represents the principle of expansion; you could say it operates like a magnifying glass.
JupiterinCancer brings this magnifying lens to bear on emotional safety, home, and family. We can leverage Jupiter’s enthusiasm to create a home that feels both expansive and comfortable.
This one-year transit also fosters improved self-care and steadily brings that energy to the people we love. It also supports our belief that we can “expand” familiar connections.
With Jupiter in Cancer until June 29th, 2026, we attract good fortune when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable with others and put them at ease by nurturing them and ourselves — and also when we engage with the familiar,
There is much support here for furthering our journey toward emotional health; the key is to adopt a new perspective on what lies behind us, especially those messages we adopted uncritically as children (for example, notions about “safe” and “dangerous” that we absorbed from caregivers and society).
We value what feels emotionally familiar and safe. We can grow and succeed by making our home our haven and connecting with those who feel like family.
All this is especially true if you are a Sagittarius or Cancer Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Sagittarius, you will feel a greater need to connect to loved ones and feel at home wherever you are.
As a Cancer, you are likely to feel a heightened sense of possibility, along with a strong need to grow and expand your emotional connections with others. This growth will guide how much you connect to what’s important for you between now and June 2026.
Where does Jupiter-in-Cancer fall in your own birth chart? What aspects does it make during this transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next?
What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and June 2026? Where are you ready to experience more fulfilling connections and a sense of emotional safety with others?
If you’d like more insight into those questions, I invite you to register for this week’s Forecasting Forum here to get a closer look at how Jupiter in Cancer will impact you personally. The webinar is titled: “Optimism & Generosity with Loved Ones — An Exploration of Jupiter in Cancer“.
Monday evening, a challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:54pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening(June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdaymorning (June 11th).
This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow. We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now. Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.
We are also more imaginative now and easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence, but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical. What might a creative or intuitive approach look like right now?
Please know that it can be hard to follow routines. Likewise, concentrating on monotonous tasks and work or studies involving attention to detail or rote learning may also be challenging. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 3.5 days.
Ask yourself: What do I feel and perceive when I go beyond all stories, all assumptions, and all meaning?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or 29 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.
This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

On June 11th, at 3:44am EDT,the Full Moon in 20.5 degrees of Sagittariusbecomes exact. We start to feel the Full Moon build when the Moon enters Sagittarius late Monday morning (June 9th).
For the next two weeks, we seek a balance as we become more awareof something that needs to be brought into alignment or integrated. The balance in question is between our mental processes — symbolized by Gemini — and our quest for a larger truth or meaning (linked to Sagittarius).
Before we dive in, I invite you to join me on Saturday, June 14th, for my next Forecasting Forum — we will cover Jupiter’s journey through Cancer! Every 12 years Jupiter finishes its journey around the Sun.
Discover valuable insights and tools to understand your family and emotional sense of home. Join our Forum to receive personalized guidance about Jupiter’s journey through Cancer this time around!
Here’s a quick overview of what I’ll discuss in this article:
The Full Moon polarity (Sagittarius-Gemini) squares the Moon Nodes polarity (Pisces-Virgo), creating a dynamic Grand Cross, making this Full Moon a powerful turning point on our journey towards a greater mind-heart integration
The Moon in Sagittarius is also part of a supportive Grand Fire Trine, involving Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries — bringing optimism, and enthusiasm to our healing journey, creative projects, and explorations beyond our current thinking
Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, moves into Cancer only 35 hours before the Full Moon becomes exact, starting a new 12-month journey through this sensitive, nurturing Water sign.
Jupiter at 0º Cancer (an exalted degree)! aligns with Mercury, the planet of communication, also known as the messenger (also the ruler of Gemini) —and they both square the Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries — definitely a turning point of some kind, as well as a new beginning
Jupiter is also in a Mutual Reception with the Moon — they are in each other’s sign & support each other’s agenda.
Mercury makes a Sextile to Venus in Taurus, which makes it easier to have social interactions
Venus squares Pluto in Aquarius — this is an “all or nothing” energy, fear, or obsessiveness around finances or relationships are possible here
And lastly, Uranus in Taurus squares Mars in Leo — feels restless, and we are willing to fight for having more freedoms
More about the specifics in a moment, but bear in mind: Full Moons are always times of heightened awareness and culmination. We see things we have not been aware of before and get to make changes if we don’t like what we see.
Think back to the New Moon phase that started on May 26th: What seeds were planted then? What has “sprouted” since? What are you aware of now that was not apparent before?
Before we talk about all of the aspects of this Full Moon, let’s first talk about the Sagittarian-Gemini polarity:
Gemini deals with information exchange, observation, and objectivity, while Sagittarius deals with what lies beyond thinking — indeed, beyond information — this includes things like interpretation and ethics.
In other words, what do we think, believe, and “really know”? We are invited to become more aware of the difference between facts vs. beliefs, truth vs. fabrication, and meaningful activity vs. diversions.

There will only be two Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Friday evening (for almost 1.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 2nd:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgoall day; it will journey there until Wednesday morning, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
We are generous with our time/services, and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday from 3:55am – 7:55am EDT, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some more inner adjustments.
We are encouraged to release our fears and embrace genuine emotional connections with society or a humanitarian cause dedicated to a more empowered future for everyone. At the same time, we feel the need to make important decisions about our daily health and work routines.
Where could we use more clarity? Where do we need to take a closer look in our lives? (Moon in Virgo quincunxes Pluto in Aquarius, exact at 5:55am EDT)
Monday at 11:41pm EDT, the first Quarter Moon in almost 13º ofVirgo becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Virgo (on Sunday late evening).
The Moon in detail-oriented, helpful, and practical Virgo makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, fast-thinking, and busy Gemini.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon on May 26th; “seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making first real contact with the outside world.
This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum.
We may feel anxious or unusually busy. As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-15 degrees of Virgo, Gemini,Pisces, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, May 26th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful, comfort-loving Taurus until 1:21pm EDT; we love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and stick with what works well.
In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday at 9:52am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 3.5 hours, until 1:21pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for your visions and share what is important to you — in particular, what you envision for the future around money and finances.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until the afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 1:21pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon.For the next two days, we seek to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably while multitasking. The one thing we want to avoid is boredom: If our mind is not engaged, we might as well curl up and play dead.
This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards today’s New Moon (exact in the late evening). Feel free to watch my video on the subject here (if you haven’t seen it yet).
Monday late afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 4:37pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday evening(May 25th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesdayevening (May 27th). This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.
Faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will serve us well at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.
Find inspiration and inspire others! Whether it’s a book, a song, a movie, someone else’s words, or your own, let the Universe speak to you or through you.
Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-4 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
One notable facet of this New Moon chart is the planetary line-up in Gemini, involving the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter!
With this much emphasis on Gemini, we are invited to pay attention to our minds, communications, and any information coming our way.
Gemini is the archetype of curiosity, communication in all its forms, and mental connections — it represents the development of language and intelligence, as well as our ability to adapt and relate to our immediate environment.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
So, this month, any time between 11:02pm on May 26thand 9am on May 28th. Then there will be a 4.5-hour period on May 28th, during which the Moon will be void of course, from 9amuntil 1:32pm. It is best to avoid setting your Intention during that time.
And from 1:32pm until 11:02pm on May 28th, still a great time to set your Intentions during the most potent time. (and please note that I provide all times in the Eastern Daylight Time zone, i.e., New York City).
