June 2023 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits

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.

May 2023 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits

Greetings, Friends, and happy May Day to you! Let’s see what the planets will be up to this month.

May 2 – VENUS enters Gemini, a friend’s sign. This will bring more financial blessings to those with Taurus Rising or Moon signs, as this is their 2nd house of wealth, family and communication. Venus also rules Libras as well as Taureans. This shift to Gemini is a plus for those with Libra Rising or Moon signs, as this represents the 9th house of good luck and good fortune for Librans.

May 5 – 6th – Overnight this Full Moon in Libra will experience a Penumbral (partial) lunar eclipse. We are fortunate that it will not be visible in North America, since eclipses are not auspicious to view or be out in. Regions seeing, at least, some parts of the eclipse: Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica. A good website to track the path of this eclipse is https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2023-may-5

May 9 – Mercury gets out of combustion. This is good for those ruled by Mercury, Virgo and Gemini. It will also be good for communication in general for everyone.

May 10 – MARS enters the sign of Cancer, and will stay there until June 30th. Whereas this is the sign of Debilitation for Mars, it is nonetheless the best planet for those with Cancer Rising or Moon signs and should bring success and energy to them. Mars rules Scorpio and Aries Rising and Moon signs. Scorpios will benefit from having the ruler of their charts transit their best house (9th) of good luck and good fortune. For Aries, this is their 4th house of home and real estate, as well as friends, so there will be enjoyable times for the Aries folks, too.

May 14 – MERCURY goes Direct, and how nice for it to get out of Retrograde status. Now the Virgo and Gemini goals and projects can move ahead more easily. Communication improves across the board, as well as greater tactfulness and diplomacy.

May 15 – the SUN moves into Taurus. This will be a big benefit for those with Taurus Rising or Moon signs, bringing more interaction with friends, as the Sun is their 4th house ruler. They will experience greater self confidence as well. Leos are ruled by the Sun and will enjoy feeling more outgoing with the Sun crossing their 10th house of power, career and action now.

May 30 – Venus moves into the water sign Cancer. Taureans will feel quite creative now. It is their 3rd house of self efforts, vitality and projects. For Librans, also ruled by Venus, this is their 10th house of action, career, name and fame. They will feel quite active in this period. It will stay in this sign until July 6th. Enjoy!

April 2023 Planet Transits – Vedic Astrology

Greetings, Friends. This is a total Solar Eclipse month, which occurs on April 20th. More on those effects below. There’s also another Mercury Retrograde period starting April 21st. Time to swing into Spring with a look at what planet changes to expect this month.

April 5th, at the end of the day, Mountain Time, Venus moves into Taurus. How happy it will be, in its own sign there, and away from Rahu which was with it in the previous transit of Aries. Those with Taurus Ascendants or Moon signs will feel strengthened and attractive. Their creativity and love of beauty will be enhanced now. For Librans, also ruled by Venus, this transit represents their 8th house, so there will be many “transformations” to deal with. Some will be positive, of course, but when too many changes hit a person all at the same time or in close proximity, it can be rather tiring. This transit lasts until May 2nd.

April 5th – there is also a Full Moon in Virgo today. This helps the mind to gravitate towards practical, logical solutions. The sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon. This is a 3rd house Transit for those with Cancer Rising or Moon signs, so creativity and working on many projects will be enhanced. Virgos may see an increase in income and do well in dealing with the public.

April 14 – The Sun enters the fire sign Aries for its one month journey there. It is Exalted in this sign, strengthening the energies that Leos will enjoy, since the Sun rules their sign. Aries Ascendants and Moon sign folks will also enjoy this burst of energy and leadership abilities now.

April 20 – The total Solar eclipse occurs in the sign of Aries, where the Sun is conjunct with the North Node of the Moon, Rahu, which seizes and lets go….it likes to try and “swallow the Sun” (or Moon at other times) so is basically up to no good here. Please remember that it is not auspicious to be out in the eclipsed light of either Sun or Moon (whenever there’s a lunar eclipse). The good news here is that this eclipse will not be visible in North America. Places where it will be visible: SE Asia, the Pacific, Australia, the Indian Ocean, Antarctica. Still, Leo Rising and Moon sign people may not be feeling fully themselves this day.

April 21 – MERCURY RETROGRADE strikes again! Be cautious with your interpersonal communications. Try to maintain as much diplomacy and patience as possible when inevitable misunderstandings surface. It’s nobody’s fault…we’ll just “blame Mercury” which rules communication. This retrograde period lasts until May 14th. It effects everyone, but especially the two signs ruled by Mercury, Virgo and Gemini.

April 21 – JUPITER enters Aries, a friend’s sign. Here it will be conjunct malefic Rahu, so perhaps it won’t be having as much fun as when it was in the previous sign of Pisces, which it owns, but there can be some exciting times for those ruled by this great benefic, Sagittarians and Pisceans. The Pisces Rising and Moon sign people will feel closer to family and be more expressive, as this sign is their 2nd house. It may improve cash flow, too. For the Sagittarians, this is their 5th house of success, education, romance and children. Any of these areas may flourish now, as well as the desire to learn new things.

April 23 – Mercury gets out of combustion with the Sun. That brings relief to Virgos and Geminis especially, and helps to improve communication overall. When a planet is traveling too close to the Sun, it becomes irritated and angry, so is not able to deliver its best qualities. You should feel a nice, spontaneous improvement now in the Mercury qualities of diplomacy, tactfulness and communication.

April 26 – Jupiter’s turn to get out of combustion with the Sun! All the generous qualities Jupiter brings to the table can now be more fully felt: good judgment, wisdom, good fortune, guidance, expansion. Sagittarius and Pisces are ruled by Jupiter, so those with these Rising or Moon signs will especially feel more liberated with more smooth sailing now.

March 2023 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits

You’ve probably being seeing internet photos of the “alignment” of benefic planets Jupiter and Venus. However, in Vedic Astrology they are in what’s termed a “planetary war,” which is not a positive situation. They are at the exact same degree today. The planetary war began when Venus reached the point of just one degree away from Jupiter, in its approach. This condition will continue until Venus moves to the one degree past Jupiter’s location. The victorious planet will gain in strength and the vanquished planet will lose its significance or they will be considerably diminished. Jupiter loses this war to Venus. In addition, Mercury and Saturn are ALSO in a planetary war at this time, which Mercury loses! This year, these two situations represent the real “March comes in like a Lion” scenario.

March 5, 2023 – Saturn gets out of combustion. It has been traveling too close to its enemy, the Sun. When Saturn is combust, there may be a tendency to feel under pressure and over-burdened. This is especially true for those signs ruled by Saturn, which are Capricorn and Aquarius. So it will be a big relief once the Sun moves far enough away from Saturn, which is otherwise happy in its own sign of Aquarius now.

March 7, 2023 – Full Moon will occur in the outgoing, dramatic, and magnanimous sign of Leo, and in a creative, passionate, and fortunate nakshatra. Those with Leo Rising or Moon signs may feel more emotional than usual. Enjoy this bright Moon in your sign, Leos!

March 11, 2023 – VENUS enters the fire sign Aries. This brings love, partnership and money to those with Aries Ascendants or Moon signs. It increase expenses for the Taureans, as the ruler of their charts now enters their 12th house of loss and expenses. For Libras, also ruled by Venus, it is a positive transit through their 7th house of partners, business and travel.

March 12, 2023 – MARS moves into Gemini, finally leaving earth sign Taurus, after so many months there, due to a long retrograde period. The signs ruled by Mars are Aries and Scorpio. This new transit will inspire greater creative efforts in our Aries friends, while for Scorpios, Mars will be entering their 8th house of battles and disunion, transformation and vulnerability, so it is not as positive of a transit for them. Mars stays in this position until May 10th. Geminis should experience a burst of energy and ambition, but will need to watch for restlessness, temper and impatience.

March 14, 2023 – The SUN moves into Pisces. So for the next month, the ruler of Leo Rising and Moon charts will be in their 8th house of transformation, vulnerability, battles and disunion. Try to ride the wave of changes, Leos, and choose your battles carefully. Try not to take things personally to avoid over-reacting to situations beyond your control.

March 15, 2023 – MERCURY enters Pisces, joining closely on the Sun’s heels, meaning it will be in a state of combustion, which it will not get out of until March 31st. Plus, Pisces is the sign of Debilitation of Mercury. So it’s a good idea to focus on clear communication and tactfulness. With all that being said, at least this sign represents good houses for those ruled by Mercury, Virgos and Geminis.

March 27, 2023 – JUPITER goes combust the Sun. These two planets are friends, but the great benefic Jupiter will not enjoy the irritation of traveling too close to the Sun. It stays combust until April 26. We can’t expect Jupiter to be at its best during this time. Those who will feel it the most are Sagitarians and Pisceans, who are ruled by this great planet.

March 31, 2023 – MERCURY goes non-combust the Sun, which is good news. It also moves into the sign of Aries today. Geminis will enjoy this transit of their 11th house of income, gain and fulfillment of desire. For the other sign ruled by Mercury, Virgo, this sign represents their 8th house. They may feel some vulnerability and have to really think on their feet, handling all the changes coming their way. Mercury will remain in their position until June 7th, due to an upcoming retrograde period.

February 2023 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits

2/05/23 – The Full Moon in Cancer, its own sign, starts the month off with emotions at their height. You may also be craving the comforts of home at this time. Enjoy the fullness of your own feelings.

2/06/23 – MERCURY moves into Capricorn where it will remain until 2/27/23. Here it is in a friend’s sign. Virgos benefit from the transit of the 5th house from their Rising Sign, by the ruler of their chart. Education, teaching, connection with children are highlighted for them during this time. This is not as beneficial a transit for the other sign ruled by Mercury, Gemini, as Capricorn represents their 8th house of Transformation, vulnerability, battles and disunion. Try to hang in there during the challenges!

2/12/2023 – The SUN enters Aquarius. Here it joins Saturn, considered its enemy, and this is Saturn’s own sign, so it is powerful. Saturn will be combust the Sun until 3/05/23. That hinders Saturn’s ability to deliver the positive qualities that are represented by this humanitarian sign. Both Leos (ruled by the Sun) and Aquarians will feel better once the Sun moves into Pisces on 3/14/23. Capricorns, also ruled by Saturn, will feel relief as well.

2/15/23 – VENUS, the great benefic, moves into the sign of Pisces, where it has exalted status. It remains in this favorable position until 3/11/23. Those who benefit the most: Taureans, as this is the ruler of their chart, and it will be crossing their 11th house of gain, income and fulfillment of desire. Those with Pisces Rising or Moon charts – Venus represents their 3rd house, so they will be very eager for creative projects. It also rules their 8th house which can bring some changes and feelings of vulnerability. Venus also rules Libra, but this not a positive transit for our Libra friends, since Pisces is their 6th house of stress, worry, obstacles, enemies, rivals and competitors.

2/27/23 – MERCURY gets out of combustion. It also now moves into Aquarius. This is a positive transit for both signs governed by Mercury, which are Gemini and Virgo. Aquarians may become more talkative now, as communication becomes more important to them. Good luck comes to the Geminis, and the Virgos will enjoy positive energy in their business endeavors, and with partners.

NEW YEAR 2023 Planet Transits

Happy New Year, Everyone! I’m sure you noticed that I did not get a November or December blog posted. That was due to dealing with health issues. But with the new year coming in, I will get the main points posted here, for the important planet changes coming up for January.

As you may know, MERCURY went Retrograde on 12/29/22. This often challenging period can lead to crossed wires of communication, affecting also any communication equipment, and delays may occur, especially for those with Virgo and Gemini Rising or Moon signs. It lasts until 1/18/23.

MERCURY was in Capricorn, but backs up into Sagittarius on 12/30/22. Mercury moves back into Capricorn on 2/06/23. While in Sagittarius, this represents good houses for both signs ruled by Mercury. For Virgos, it is their 4th house of home, confidence, friends and supporters, plus vehicles and real estate. For Geminis, it is their 7th house of partners and business. Once Mercury moves back into Capricorn, that is still good news for Virgos, as this is their 5th house of success, learning, teaching and children. But for Geminis, Capricorn is their 8th house of transformation, vulnerability, battles and disunion, so not as comfortable.

1/01 – 1/12/23 MERCURY will be combust the Sun, which will dampen communications. Let us be mindful of the need for tactfulness and diplomacy, which Mercury normally provides. During this period, Geminis and Virgos will feel the pressure the most, especially with the ruler of their charts also being in Retrograde status during this time.

1/12/23 – MARS goes Direct! Mars has been retrograde for a very long time, since 10/30/22, which is why it has remained in the sign of Taurus for so long. The Signs ruled by Mars are Aries and Scorpio. Those who have these Ascendants or Moon signs will now get a sense of some forward movement in their life and affairs. Mars will still remain in Taurus until 3/12/23, when it moves into the next sign, Gemini.

1/17/23 SATURN MOVES INTO AQUARIUS! This sign is ruled by Saturn, just as Capricorn is, where Saturn has been transiting for a while. The Aquarian energy will bring some relief and aid the more humanitarian influences of that sign to be enhanced for society, as well as for those with Aquarian Rising or Moon signs.

1/22/23 VENUS enters Aquarius, joining its friend Saturn there. Venus will remain in this sign until 2/15/23. This is a good placement for those with Taurus Rising or Moon signs, as it is their 10th house of action, career, name and fame. Things should go their way for the most part during this transit. Libras are also ruled by Venus, and should enjoy this 5th house transit, that connects them to children, learning, teaching, success and romance.

1/30/23 – SATURN goes Combust the Sun. The Sun and Saturn are “enemies” in the first place. Saturn does not like the bright, fiery rays of the Sun singeing its feathers, so to speak. Combustion makes a planet grumpy, grouchy and not able to perform at its best. So those ruled by Saturn, Capricorns and Aquarians, will feel this intensity the most, causing some restlessness and inner turmoil. Saturn gets out of combustion on 3/05/23.

September 2022 Planet Transits

It’s time to check in on the Vedic Astrology planet movements for September, keeping in mind that this ancient system uses the Sidereal Zodiac. We are in for another MERCURY RETROGRADE period 9/09 until 10/02/22.

9/09/22 – MERCURY goes Retrograde until 10/02/22. But this time we are a bit lucky as it occurs in its own sign of Virgo, where it is in its sign of Exaltation in the middle degrees of that Earth sign, where it will be as the retrograde period begins. I expect that communications may not be so impacted as they typically are when retrogrades occur in other than the two signs owned by this planet of communications, diplomacy, tactfulness, intellect and commerce, Virgo and Gemini. We will then have THREE planets in retrograde status, including Saturn and Jupiter.

9/14/22 – VENUS goes combust the Sun, so its normally upbeat qualities may feel overshadowed. This period lasts all the way to 12/01/22! When a planet transits too close to the Sun, those ruled by it can feel more edgy or irritable or easier to anger than usual. Both Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus.

9/16/22 – MERCURY goes combust the Sun. just until 9/29/22, so Geminis and Virgos, ruled by Mercury may feel much the same as those ruled by Venus, during this brief period, keeping in mind Mercury will also be in retrograde, so certain conditions in the lives of those ruled by Mercury may have the “appearance of going backwards,” or at least on hold and not moving forward as quickly as they would wish. Communication in general does not flow as easily for everyone, during these periods.

9/24/22 – VENUS enters Virgo, its sign of Debilitation, and will remain there until 10/18/22. For Taurus Rising or Moon sign charts, this is their 5th house of learning, teaching, children, romance and success in worldly projects, so that is a decent transit for them despite the weaker status of debilitation for their ruling planet. However for the Libra Rising or Moon sign folks, Virgo is their 12th house of loss, expenses, isolation or solitude, so that is not as beneficial a period for them.

NEXT MONTH PREVIEW: Looks like a very active and significant month of planet changes, with Saturn finally going Direct motion on 10/22/22, a partial Solar Eclipse on 10/25/22 (though not visible in North America), and Mars going Retrograde on 10/30/22.

August, 2022 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits`

The exciting planet changes of August 2022 are upon us! We have gotten beyond the recent event of Jupiter going into Retrograde (actually a good thing, making this great benefic even stronger, in its own sign of Pisces) on 7/28/22, and Mercury getting out of combustion with the Sun on 7/29/2022, which is a big help for clearer communications. TODAY, we have a very strong MARS in its own sign of Aires (a war-like sign and planet) totally conjunct to the exact degree with RAHU, the North Node of the Moon. We’ve seen today that this fiery conjunction spelled curtains for the Al Quada leader hiding in Afghanistan, who was one of the leaders responsible for 9/11. As President Biden stated, America always finds and eliminates those who try to bring harm to our great country and its citizens. Further turmoil may ensue in other global areas, until MARS pulls away from Rahu on 8/10/22 and they no longer are in the same sign.

8/06/22 – VENUS enters water sign Cancer on this date, until 8/31/22, bringing more affection, love, artistic delights plus enjoyable time with friends, for those with Cancer Rising or Moon Signs. Taureans are ruled by Venus, and will enjoy this 3rd house transit. It should be good for getting many projects done, some artistic work as well, and closeness with siblings. Venus also rules Libras. This transit represents their 10th house of action, career, name and fame, so is likewise a boon for Librans.

8/10/22 – MARS enters Taurus. This is helpful in several ways for those with Aries Rising or Moon signs (see above), and includes better energy around finances. For Scorpios, travel may become the focus, or time spent with partners. For Taureans, Mars brings some 12th house energy, so a desire for some seclusion may arise, though your partner will want to be around you, as Mars also rules your 7th house.

8/16/22 – The SUN enters its own sign of LEO, enlivening the natural leadership energy of those with Leo Rising or Moon signs. There’s a revived sense of personal power for our Leo friends, and this placement is good for the government, as well.

7/31/22 – VENUS enters LEO, adding more fun to the Leos’ party. Taureans will enjoy the ruler of their chart passing through the 4th house of home, friends and self confidence. Libras will benefit too, as it is there 11th house of gain and income.

The

July 2022 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits

It’s that time again!….to look the planets again. July looks to be an exciting month of changes. Let’s dive right in here.

July 1st – MERCURY entered Gemini, its own sign, where it will be strong and happy. This is great news for those with Gemini Rising charts, because Mercury rules their chart and it was staying in their 12th house of loss, expenses, solitude and isolation for a long time, due to a retrograde period in that sign of Taurus. It was in there since April 24. Communication can expand now and much more ease and forward movement will be experienced by our Gemini friends! It is a good transit, too, for Virgos, also ruled by Mercury, as it is now crossing their 10th house of Dharma, action, career, name and fame.

July 4th – Mercury goes combust the Sun, until July 29th. This cycle in which a planet travels too close to the Sun makes a planet grouchy, angry, more reactive than normal.  There are six of these periods for Mercury in 2022, which seems more than usual. Combustion occurs more frequently for Mercury than any other planet, because it habitually travels closer to the Sun.  Nonetheless, you may feel the subtle effects of just being more sensitive or reactive to things you normally would let roll off your back.  Employ techniques to maintain your equilibrium and peace of mind during these cycles.  Mercury rules the skin and nerves, so imbalances may be felt in both these areas now.

July 12th – SATURN backs up into Capricorn, its own sign. Of course, it’s been in Aquarius, also its own sign, since April 28th, 2022. As this slowest-moving planet returns to Earth sign Capricorn, it may bring the opportunity to revisit matters one had thought the door was closed on already. That’s what retrograde periods are good for! Depending on what house Capricorn rules in your birth chart, that will determine the types of experiences that are likely. For those with Capricorn Rising or Moon signs, this transit will cause them to double down on hard work, focus, and having a structure to carry out their well-made plans.

July 12th – VENUS enters Gemini, a friend’s sign, joining Mercury and the Sun there. Creativity is stimulated for our Gemini Rising or Moon sign friends. More playfulness, joy and affection can come through now, courtesy of these three planets. Enjoy!

July 16th – The SUN enters the water sign of Cancer for its one month transit. Cancerians will enjoy closeness with family and improved finances, while Leos, ruled by the Sun, may experience a month of expenses now.

July 16th – Mercury goes into Cancer. Mercury is moving pretty quickly through the zodiac now. This is a good transit for both Geminis and Virgos, ruled by Mercury, for it represents the 2nd house of family, wealth and communication for Geminis, and the 11th house of gain, income and fulfillment of desire for Virgos.

July 28th – JUPITER goes retrograde! This period lasts until November 23, 2022. The good thing about this is that Jupiter is a great benefic (positive planet) representing knowledge, wisdom, good judgment, good luck and good fortune. It will remain in its own sign of Pisces, where it is in high dignity, for the entire retrograde period. This is a blessing, really. When a benefic planet goes retrograde, it gets more powerful to do good. It’s very positive for those with Pisces Rising or Moon signs; also for those with Sagittarius Rising or Moon signs.

July 31st – Mercury moves into Leo, as it continues moving at a rapid pace: Three signs in one month! This planet represents communication, diplomacy, tactfulness and commerce. Those with Leo Rising and Moon signs benefit as Mercury represents “money houses” for them! For Virgos, this is a 12th house transit so watch for expenses and feeling isolated. But this only lasts until August 20th, when Mercury moves into Virgo, its own sign, which will be very beneficial for both our Gemini and Virgo friends.

June 2022 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits

6/03/22 – June begins with the happy news that Mercury goes Direct motion this date, getting out of what seem like a very l o n g three weeks of Retrograde status. Communications in general should approve, there will be more flow and fluidity especially for those with Gemini or Virgo Rising or Moon signs. Tactfulness and diplomacy can once more be the norm now. It does seem that June will be an easier month than May was.

6/04/22 – Saturn goes Retrograde today, until 10/22/22. It is currently in its own sign of Aquarius. It will back up into Capricorn (the other sign it owns) on 7/12/22 and remain there until 1/23/23. Either sign’s location is fine for those with Capricorn Rising or Moon signs. In either case, it strengthens their connection to money, family and communication resources. There’s an opportunity to save more, once it does return to Aquarius next January. The role of the working class, and law enforcement become a more pronounced social focus once the Capricorn transit begins on 7/12.

6/15/22 – The Sun enters Gemini for its one month transit. This is a positive transit for Virgos, as this is their 10th house of career, action, name and fame. It could be a successful period for their vocation. For Geminis, having the Sun passing through their first house of self, body, personality and direction of their life, gives energy and a greater sense of personal power. For Leos, ruled by the Sun, Gemini is their 11th house of gain and income, so many of them will enjoy the ability to fulfill their desires now. That, of course, depends on what Dashas they are running (Dashas are one’s personal planetary cycles – which are more powerful than the transits).

6/17/22 – VENUS moves into its own sign of Taurus. It will remain there until 7/12, providing many delightful pleasures for those with Taurus Rising and Moon signs. Venus represents beauty, art, music, desires, partners. Taureans may feel an increased flow of creativity now. Libras are also ruled by Venus. Taurus represents their 8th house so there can be some interesting changes, but they may include feelings of vulnerability for Libras.

6/26/22 – MARS enters Aries, its own sign. The sense of drive, competition and ambition already inherent in most people with Aries Rising and Moon signs, will be enhanced. Mars remains here until 8/10. Scorpios are also ruled by Mars. This transit is their 6th house of stress, worry, enemies, rivals and competitors. Mars here helps them overcome the latter. Just watch out for physically overdoing it, especially be careful of your back, hips and intestines, all ruled by the 6th house.
