Summer is here! It’s time to take a look at what the planets will be up to in the month of June. Those with Cancer Rising or natal Moon signs, have been enjoying both Mars and Venus crossing their first house of self, body, personality, and direction of one’s life. Sure, Mars is debilitated in this sign, but still, Mars is the “Yogakaraka” i.e. best planet for Cancerians, so it can still produce some good results.
June 3rd – About 10 p.m. Mountain time, the Moon, which rules the sign of Cancer, will be full, in the sign of Scorpio. This is a good position for the Cancer Ascendant and Moon sign people, as it is their 5th house of education, learning ability, romance, children and success in worldly projects. However, the Moon is debilitated in the sign of Scorpio. Those with Scorpio Rising or Moon signs will benefit from their 9th house (the best house as it represents good luck, good fortune, dharma and Natural Law) ruler, crossing their 1st house now. It’s just that they could be feeling somewhat more sensitive during this full moon transit.
June 7th – Mercury enters the sign of Taurus. This is the beneficial 9th house for those with Virgo Rising or Moon signs. Mercury rules Virgo and also Gemini. For the Geminis, Taurus represents their 12th house, so this transit may cause them to feel more isolated or choose solitude. They could also have some losses or expenses. Best for them to lay low, and enjoy meditation time, and going inward while this transit lasts, which is until June 24th. Those with Taurus Ascendants or Moon signs will feel more talkative and playful during this transit.
June 15th – The SUN enters the air sign Gemini and will be there until July 16th. Those with Gemini Rising or Moon signs will enjoy more energy, vitality and personal power or leadership now. Leos, which are ruled by the Sun, get energetic support to enjoy more income or the fulfillment of desires, as the Sun moves through their 11th house.
June 17th – SATURN goes Retrograde!! So this is a big deal for those ruled by this slowest moving planet, which are Capricorns and Aquarians. Saturn has been transiting Aquarius for some time, where it is strong and happy. This is a long retrograde period, which does not end until November 4, 2023. Be prepared for some slow downs in your projects, Capricorns and Aquarians! Or possibly having to look at and handle situations you thought were already taken care of. Saturn also deals with structure, service and duty. There could be some ripples or even waves in societal structures and for those who serve in the government.
June 18th – Mercury goes combust the Sun, which means traveling too closely for comfort to the fiery orb of the Sun. Communication in general may become a little more testy or fraught at this time. It stays combust until July 13th. Of course those ruled by Mercury will feel it the most, Virgos and Geminis. Try hard to keep your cool and think twice before speaking in haste!
June 24th – Mercury enters Gemini, which is good news for both Virgo and Gemini Rising and Moon sign folks! It owns this sign so will be in high dignity. Communications should be clearer and easier to understand, with more playfulness and fun now, especially for the Geminis. It helps them feel more themselves and attract friends, while for the Virgos, it will be a beneficial transit for their career and action in general.
June 30th – MARS enters fire sign Leo. Here it is happy, in a friend’s sign. It brings good drive and ambition, plus energy to get things done, to those who have Leo Rising or Moon signs. This is the 3rd house for Geminis, so they could feel more energy now, and have good vitality. It is a good transit also for both signs ruled by Mars, the Scorpios and those with Aries Rising or Moon signs. For Scorpios this is their 10th house of career and action. It’s the 5th house for Aries, which brings good energy for teaching and learning, or connecting with children.
