We are at the beginning of a retrograde season! Pluto is retrograde and has moved back into Capricorn where he will spend the remainder of the year. In this episode I give the dates of the degrees that Pluto is covering which are 29 to 27 degrees of Capricorn and I corelate them to the times that Pluto was at this same degree stage. On Saturday, June 17th we have Saturn in Pisces going retrograde until November 4th. Saturn is at 7 degrees and will retrograde back to 0 degrees before going direct. Saturn moved into Pisces on March 7th and Saturn is considered the 7th planet in traditional astrology. It feels like the number 7 will have some meaning during this retrograde. What has Saturn in Pisces asked of you so far? How have you felt this energy (or not)? The retrograde will bring a slowdown, but it may also help bring something or someone from your past back to you.
Mercury is making a very quick trip through his home sign of Gemini, having moved into his own sign on June 11th. Mercury will be in Gemini until June 26th. This is a good time to get ideas down on paper at least to see what you may want to be working with once Mercury moves into Cancer. This is also a great time to spend with friends and taking time for conversations that help you see different side to someone you thought you knew everything about.
We have a New Moon in Gemini coming up on June 17th/18th depending on your time zone. The Moon moves into Gemini on June 15th and will meet up with the Sun at 26 degrees. Leading up to this New Moon we will have the Moon conjunct Mercury on June 16th and then the Moon will have a sextile (a favorable meet up) with Venus in Leo on Friday as well, so this is a great day to have an experience that expands your mind and gives you a new way to look at things. On Saturday, June 17th we have Mercury in Gemini sextile Venus in Leo which can help with ideas for creative projects or again some great conversation with those who matter to you. New Moons are normally a great time to begin something and use for intention or goal setting and this New Moon is able to do that but there is one thing to be aware of and that is the square (tension) between Neptune in Pisces and the Sun and Moon in Gemini. Take some time to make sure that any information you receive is accurate and give some time for ideas to develop before acting on them.
While there is a bit of mindfulness needed for this New Moon, which is appropriate for a Gemini New Moon we do have an aspect taking place just after the New Moon on Monday, June 19th between Jupiter in Taurus and Saturn Rx (retro) in Pisces. Jupiter will sextile Saturn. A sextile is a harmonious aspect, a conversation between two planets about how they can help each other help us to move forward in our lives. This is the first meetup of these two planets since the great conjunction in December 2020 when they met up at 0 degrees of Aquarius during the Winter Solstice. And now on their journey they are in a position to check in on each other to see what progress has been made. Jupiter has traveled from Aquarius to Taurus since December 2020 while Saturn who moves slower has traveled to Pisces since then. The sextile means they are in compatible elements. Jupiter being in an earth sign and Saturn being in a water sign. How has your life changed since December 2020? What might Saturn and Jupiter be able to help you with at this juncture?
We wrap up this week and this episode with Venus in Leo moving into her shadow phase on June 20th at 12 degrees, pay attention from this moment through July 22nd when Venus goes retrograde as this will be the area of focus for her retrograde period in your life. And on Wednesday, June 21st we will have the Sun move into Cancer bringing the Summer Solstice and the official start of summer in the northern hemisphere.
