Gemini Solar Eclipse, Mercury Retrograde, Jupiter in Pisces Time to Dance with the Music of the Cosmos.

Hello Friends of Astrology,

Let’s check out the astro weather for June. There are months that we just move along w/o too many bumps or surprises in life. Then there are times when every time we turn around someone is telling us about a life changing event. June is one of those months. Saturn is square Uranus for the second of the three times of 2021. This is the major vibe of 2021 as Saturn squares the planet Uranus bringing the continuation of upheaval and tensions between the old and new world.

The planets during June have a lot of strength; in astro lingo it is called essential dignity. What this means in plain English is the location, meaning the signs, that the planets are floating through are supplying the planets with the ‘essential’ tools they need to do their thing. In turn the energy that they can send to us is enhanced and we can find that we are able to tap into the resources of the vibrations to move our lives forward.

Venus, the planet of desire, beauty, and what we love will spend most of the month in cancer. Putting effort into self-care and nurturing our environment just seems like the place to bring us comfort and joy. Mars entered Cancer in May and with Mars the action planet in the same sign as Venus the impetus to spend the money and effort for taking care of what is brings us comfort and safety is available. Venus meets with the moon on June 11^th as the second of the 7 gates of her 584 day cycle, this I the 2^nd chakra, creativity.

The main event for June is the solar eclipse on the 10^th at 19 degrees of Gemini.  According to Rudhyar the symbol is: A Modern Cafeteria Displays an Abundance of Food, Products of Various Regions. The symbol for Venus from Rudhyar is: A Large Diamond In The First Stages Of The Cutting Process.

Both of these symbols are pointing towards gifts from the earth that is in front of us and it is up to us to allow for the abundance that is available to nourish. The symbol of the diamond not quite cut or polished is a reminder that at the core of who we are is precious and beautiful.

This eclipse is square Neptune, the planet that wants us to step into our fantasy world, to dream something up working with our creative and intuitive gifts. Yes, it is important to pay attention to your intuitive guides when something or someone around you is presenting as too good to be true. The old line of don’t believe everything that you hear rings loud during this eclipse.

Mercury, the ruler of the Gemini Solar eclipse is moving retrograde into the heart of the sun which will happen later that day. This is a powerful time that strengthens Mercury and enables him/her. If you can find time to meditate and open to the universe this time is symbolic of downloading from cosmic consciousness. Many inventions and amazing designs can be plucked out of the ethers now.

Mars moves into sun loving Leo the day after the eclipse, bringing motivation to let loose, have fun, laugh and dance. There is a mischievous vibe happening on and off all month, when Mars in Leo gets in the mix drama plays out after unchecked communications stir up differences. A few days later Saturn is exactly Square Uranus really creating break-ups, job changes, moves, and unusual news and chaos.

The sun enters Cancer on the 20^th the day our helpful planet Jupiter stations to move retrograde. It is a good day to be settled and relax. We are moving into a time of water, which beckons to find the emotional equanimity and stillness within.

Mercury moves direct on the 22^nd on the node of Venus, conversations with friends prove fruitful and meaningful.
The full moon in Capricorn on the 24^th vibrates with the station of Neptune adding an uncertainty in how to have balance between what you do to survive, (job, work, duties) and how to nourish your personal and family life. What is more important to you at this time? Have you ignored one side of life in order to focus on another? The full moon in Capricorn at 3 degrees seeks healthy boundaries and desires the appropriation of time to how you want to be seen and known in the world without sacrificing your inner life.

Venus is opposite Pluto and at an important degree that will circle around at the end of the year when Venus goes retrograde. Venus Pluto has been a theme on and off since 2020. What is your obsession? What do you fear losing? Do you have good boundaries in relationship? What are you hanging onto that you no longer need? What are you hanging onto b/c of fear of the future or unknown? Big questions when answered bring the intention of the full moon into being; balance of our life’s mission with the world and emotional fulfilment and peace in our personal life.

In addition Jupiter is at the midpoint of Saturn and Neptune. This is a tricky energy as Jupiter expands whatever it is involved with. Saturn and Neptune are either putting form to your dreams and spiritual path or magnifying sadness, hopeless, and loss. If you have been thinking of doing a yoga retreat, meditation program, or any action towards making your visions of possibility come true it is good. Be conscious of the collective energy on the planet seeping into your emotional state as those who are disadvantaged, hungry, sick, emotional distraught from the loss of loved ones, employment, and personal aspirations will be circulating in the etheric fields.

At the same time the Capricorn full moon has the planet Uranus, the great awakener, at the midpoint between the Sun and Neptune. This cracks open and dismantles any illusions we have been living and you will see truth being exposed in the news about fraud and deceit. For us? Don’t buy into what other people are pushing when has a fishy smell and don’t let someone belittle what is your truth.

We finish the month out with Venus moving into Leo on the 27^th reminding us that life is to be enjoyed. We are entering the next month as a time to play, laugh, and have the small pleasures of life be celebrated.

With love, light, and gratitude,
Donna
