ORACLE CARD OF THE MONTH: “Assertive Power” (Pluto in Air). A month to discover the meaning of this incarnation, create rich life experiences, and lead by example.

The champion of causes related to social justice, we could bring about much needed change and reforms. It is important that we question everything we see, read, and learn.

Pluto remains retrograde all month till October 15. Its shadow period remains till February 7, 2027. The degrees covered in June (5º22’-4º54’Aquarius) are represented in the Sabian Symbols by: “A masked figure performs ritualistic acts in a mystery play”, and “A council of ancestors is seen implementing the efforts of a young leader”. Darkness keeps revealing itself. Issues around power, and the abuse of it, come to the forefront. Yet at the same time, where used ethically, rewards follow.

Mercury enters Cancer on June 1st till August 9. During the next 9 weeks, our rather subjective thinking is largely influenced by our feelings, the past, and subconscious memories. We are likely to focus on some facts while completely ignoring others. Susceptible to the opinions of the people around us, we tend to learn by osmosis. We express our ideas with a certain tenacity, could be dreamy, irrational, and prone to worry. Our focus in on our home, family, food, real estate, domestic products, children, security, and safety. Our enhanced imagination requires a creative outlet.

Venus enters Leo on June 13 till July 9. During the next month, we are emotionally ardent, vivacious, warmhearted, outgoing, affectionate, and socially gregarious. A great period to entertain, throw lavish parties, join a theater group or perform on stage. We want to be the center of attention yet should be careful to not become too selfish or vain and squander our resources by taking inconsiderate risks. Our love of art and our creative talents are at a peak. Our sense of color is vivid. A wonderful period to acquire jewelry or fashionable clothes. We are particularly romantic with a touch of drama and derive much happiness from our interactions with children.

Sun enters Leo on June 21 till July 22. The next 4 weeks are filled with romance and creativity. Our confidence is high and our disposition, more cheerful, gregarious, and fun-loving than usual. Our leadership abilities are enhanced. Honorable, courageous, warmhearted, generous, and reliable, we want to shine. If we can avoid appearing too conceited, stubborn, bossy, and opinionated, this is a fantastic month to adopt a more flamboyant style, socialize, entertain our friends, gamble, inspire children, attend parties, go to the theater, play a competitive sport, and invest in gold or the stock market. Ardent in love, we express our feelings in dramatic displays of affection.

Mars enters Gemini on June 28 till August 11. During the next 6 weeks, we are likely to have all kinds of questions and are eager to study, diversify our interests, and start a new training. We might find ourselves changing careers or working multiple jobs simultaneously. We are more assertive, intelligent, resourceful, and direct in our speech. We are eager to develop ingenious strategies to achieve our goals. Excited to experiment, we give ourselves the freedom to explore different options and grow our talents. A great period to sell an original idea and right the wrongs we see around us.

Mercury turns retrograde on June 29 till July 23rd when it will have reached 16º30’ Cancer. Its shadow period remains until August 14. The degree covered in July (26º14’ Cancer) is associated in the Sabian Symbols with the following image: “A violent storm in a canyon filled with expensive homes”. Issues around the security of our home and the safety of our family could come to the forefront. We could feel prompted to move, either because of a personal desire or forced by circumstances.

Jupiter enters Leo on June 29 till July 25, 2027. During the coming year, our confidence, creativity, and leadership abilities come to the forefront. Our presence tends to become stronger, and our spirit is more generous. The entertainment industry is likely to generate fun, positive, warm-hearted novels and movies which elevate the collective consciousness. The focus will be on protecting the innocence and playfulness of children, as well as nurturing the more childlike side of adults. Cultural shifts as well as the growing influence of rising celebrities whose personal expression integrate collective ideals generate tremendous growth, expansion and transformative power. But on the downside, we should watch out for inflated egos who demand praise and admiration even when it is not deserved, self-indulgence and loss through unwise speculations. Yet, if we manage our finances with moderation and common sense, we could see our wealth increase.

This month’s intentional meditation started on Sunday 5/31. We took out as many blank sheets of paper as we had intentions and placed them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they basked in the light of the Full Moon in Sagittarius at exactly 1:45 AM. Once that moment passed, we gathered our Full Moon charged blank sheets and placed them in a folder until the next New Moon.

On Sunday 6/14, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 7:54 PM for the New Moon in Gemini. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….

Monday 6/1: Mercury in Cancer (4:56 AM)

Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.

Tuesday 6/2: Sun Sextile Saturn (3:49 PM)

An excellent day for restructuring our affairs around concrete objectives, making important decisions, and setting long-term goals. The pace may be a little slower, but if we demonstrate a lot of self-discipline, are serious, practical, conservative, reliable, patient, and prudent, our progress is steady and constructive. Perfect for catching up on backlogged work, reorganizing our desk, and taking on added responsibilities.

Wednesday 6/3: Mercury Square Neptune (5:18 PM)

Communications tend to be subjective, frustrating and somewhat vague. Misconceptions, exaggerations, and misunderstandings are likely. It is best to avoid idealizing others, as we may encounter dishonest individuals who prove to be unreliable, evasive, scatterbrained or deceptive. We ourselves, may lack self-confidence, could be misled by conflicting ideas, or feel impressionable, disorganized, and impractical This is not a good day for business negotiations, especially if finances are involved. But on the other hand, our attunement to more subtle dimensions of existence and our sensitivity are heightened.

Tuesday 6/9: Venus Conjunct Jupiter (12:59 PM), Mercury Square Saturn (10:39 PM)

We feel joyous, friendly, and exude an easy charm. A wonderful day for a wedding or planning an elegant social event. The day to smooth out any long-standing disagreement. Work requiring heavy mental focus, high critical faculties, and disciplined thinking is favored today. This transit however is not so good for business transactions, negotiations or signing legal papers. We could be concerned with unimportant details, caught up in monotony, and overwhelmed by difficult problems. A certain narrowness of vision, anticipation of failure, and fear of change could limit our scope of action. But if our past decisions were ethical, we should enjoy a great financial reward or gain the favor of someone in a position to help us. We are likely to derive much enjoyment from just reading or quietly reflecting in a comfortable, peaceful environment.

Saturday 6/13: Venus in Leo (3:47 AM)

Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.

Monday 6/15: Venus Sextile Uranus (3:53 PM)

We are likely to seek unusual, charming, progressive, talented friends who may be younger, or from a very different social or religious background. Those magnetic, dynamic, independent, unconventional people could prove exciting, but unless we are willing to give each other a lot of space and freedom, and avoid feelings of jealousy, control or possessiveness, might not be very long lasting. A great day to break our routine. Yet foolish disturbances could test our need for truth and peace. An exciting professional association or business endeavor could bring an unexpected financial development. We just need to be careful to not fall prey to an impulsive investment.

Tuesday 6/16: Venus Trine Neptune (8:41 PM)

Today, we seek a spiritual connection, a relationship that goes beyond the ordinary. In our dream of a relationship that fits our fantasy, we could fall in love with love. A date could seem particularly enchanted but may require some sacrifice. Thoughtfulness, understanding, and kindness arouse sympathy and attract supportive people. Our esthetic tastes are refined and our sensitivity is enhanced. A wonderful day to redecorate our home and explore our artistic talents. Despite not being a materialistic transit, we could still attract an easy fortune.

Wednesday 6/17: Venus Opposition Pluto (1:38 PM)

Problems with taxes, insurances, an inheritance or joint possession could occur. Making money in an underhanded way is not advised! Over-investing or expanding our resources by any available mean, is ill-advised. Powerful forces are at play in our love life that could feel karmic in nature. The intensity of our emotions could distort our judgement. Hidden resentments could result in irrational behavior and complicate conflicts. Wanting to remake our lover rather than facing and reforming ourselves is a losing proposition. To receive approval and create harmony, it is important that we comply with serenity, exercise moderation, compromise gracefully, and keep our feelings to ourselves.

Sunday 6/21: the Sun in Cancer (1:24 AM) Summer Solstice!

Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.

Thursday 6/25: Venus Trine Saturn (5:02 AM), Sun Square Neptune (3:38 PM)

Today, love is tied to a sense of duty and responsibility. Perfect for fulfilling serious commitments and obligations, visiting an elderly parent, helping someone help themselves or attend a social mixer at work. Fidelity and loyalty are important. A love affair begun today is based in reality and not fantasy. We focus on our creative talents with much seriousness. Our lack of imagination is compensated by our patience, good organization, and a strong sense of order and proportion. Yet, our energy could be rather low. Not exactly clear-minded, we might feel dreamy, indecisive, wish to stay away from direct confrontations, and might prove impractical. A lack of self-confidence, discouragement, and little common sense could lead to unrealistic goals. It is important that we avoid getting entangled in other people’s emotional dramas, fraudulent financial speculations, and indulging in drugs or alcohol. A day best spent in quiet contemplation.

Saturday 6/27: Mars Sextile Jupiter (9:50 PM)

A strong sense of justice and responsibility makes us prone to defending principles and causes with vigor. Bound by our word, we fulfill our promises, respect the rules, abide by the law, and are ethical. Considerable progress and success are possible today. Abundant opportunities lead to outstanding financial, professional, and educational achievements. Our honesty, generosity, and reformative spirit lead to beneficial developments. Travel is extremely positive.

Sunday 6/28: Mars in Gemini (12:29 PM)

Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.

Monday 6;29: Jupiter in Leo (10:52 PM)

Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.

Wishing you an exciting month of June!

In Loving Light.
