JUNE 2023

An overview of June 2023.

June is a month graced with a Jupiter-Saturn sextile! This translates to endeavors coming to fruition or planting the seeds for a project that will render auspicious, long term results. This can apply to relationships (personal, professional, family, friendships) as well, whether this means taking one to the next level or setting yourself free. Upgrading your skills or knowledge is also favored here. This sextile will also manifest the significant March shifts* on a personal and collective level, with a small break after June 12. We will not experience this on a full scale until January 2024.

Astrology’s invaluable help is apparent as it can act as your astro-survival kit; it can be used either as a tool that helps you carve a prosperous future or a torch that can light up the dark corners of your path. Jupiter’s adoptive positive Taurus traits, like common sense, a love for life’s simple pleasures, generosity, ability to increase profit, sincerity and a unique sense of humor are nurtured by creativity, spirituality, empathy and service to others through Saturn in altruistic Pisces but thankfully with realism. Balance of course is key, as overindulgence, harshness and liver issues can be present, particularly due to the excessive fiery energy during June.

How to maneuver through June 2023, aspects and dates.

June is graced with the beautiful sextile between lucky Jupiter and solidifying Saturn. This astro-combo allows for our sensibility to come forward through empathy. An adventure can be exciting but not reckless. The seeds you saw now will grow, endeavors you have worked hard on are rewarded. Restlessness can find a positive outlet. Self esteem can be restored through a sense of purpose. Many people will choose a profession that is fulfilling emotionally, not just financially. The higher mind can be cultivated and practical affairs can be infused with the right amount of creativity. Earth and Water balance out.

On June 1st you are looking for like minded people, who will be reliable and present in your life, for the long run. It is like a late social circle Spring cleaning thanks to the Jupiter-North Node (Karma) conjunction in Taurus. The timing is just right, as you are called to find the balance between a cerebral approach to life versus a gregarious and adventurous one thanks to the Sagittarius Full Moon on the 3rd. Intellect is challenged by passion and so is the ability to listen to others’ point of view. Restlessness and impatience are also challenged here. Romance is in the air also on the 3rd. Enjoy what you will but stay grounded.

On the 5th an out of the box idea can bare fruits or unexpected news regarding an investment, project or property can arrive. Venus becomes generous, passionate, proud and egocentric after the 6th, as it enters Leo. You have a chance to let go of negative and addictive thoughts or habits on June 11/12 as Mercury trines Pluto. When you stop the noise in your head you allow your ideas to grow and flourish without being tied to old wounds. If you need help with the technique consult your Life Coach or related professional. The first three weeks of June are favored for executing plans, contracts, agreements and intellectual pursuits, particularly between June 12-26 with chatty Mercury well placed in its intellectual and curious offspring, Gemini. Stay away from gossip.

Still unsure about a project or your next move? No need to rush into it, Saturn turns retrograde on the 18th and the New Moon in Gemini highlights the need to pursue your intellectual needs, be expressive but not crass. Depending on your chart, you can either take your time and go over a plan or project, regroup, talk to experts or watch as blocks are removed from your path. You will be glad you exercise caution and restraint after the 19th, a day where not all is as it seems. Are you ready to step out of the more lighthearted and cerebral Gemini Season and enter sensitive, nurturing and intuitive Cancer Season on the 22nd?

Hopefully you can keep the balance between logic and emotion because the last week of the month can be deceptive regarding intentions. It is also passionate on the one hand, self absorbed and aggressive on the other, as Mercury squares Neptune on the 25/26th, Mars squares erratic Uranus on the 26/27th and Mercury enters emotional Cancer on the 27th. Phew! One hand strokes as the other hand strikes. Electrifying? Yes. Nutty? No doubt. There is a beam of light in balancing emotion and intuition or stabilize a situation on the 29th, as the Sun trines Saturn. Staying focused here can help you handle an unexpected turn of events related to love or money between June 30 to July 2nd.

Structural SATURN entered altruistic Pisces on March 8, 2023 to May 24. 2025. It turns retrograde on June 18 and sextiles Uranus, during this journey. It is revolution time; revolution of the mind, the soul, growth and fair treatment, including fair trade. It can be erratic energy, so hopefully the human kind, will choose to work smart, over the next 20 years, not hard.

Transformative PLUTO entered humanitarian Aquarius on March 24, 2023, until 2044. On June 12 it reenters Capricorn one last time. Oppressive institutions collapse. As do partnerships or relationships with weak foundations. Sustainability, truths that hurt, sexual identity issues and knee jerk reaction to injustice, are some of the subjects on the global table. Technology: friend or faux?

Uranus is direct. Space exploration peeks. Stay connected to and aware of, our Earth’s needs.

In June plant the seeds or reap the rewards.

There is a Full Moon* at 13 degrees 18′ Sagittarius on the 3rd(EDT)/4th(GMT).

On the day Venus sextiles Neptune and the Sun/Moon polarity is challenged (not an exact square) by Saturn.

It affects us all but mostly the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) and people with points to your chart here. You are directly affected by this Full Moon, if your birthday is May 30-June 8, 31- August 9, November 30-December 9 and February 27-March 8.

In order to harvest the positive influence from such a moon, you need to find and keep the balance, between your need for adventure and reckless pursuits, ‘higher mind’ vs ‘lower mind’, speed of thought vs speed of speech, a broader horizon to explore vs a one track mind. ‘Dipping’ your tongue in your brain before you speak is a challenge here. Understanding the Sagittarius-Gemini polarity is necessary in order to utilize the aspects during this Moon. Sagittarius is brilliant, operates on high frequencies, adventurous, generous but also reckless and unfocused. It can rely on its intelligence and persuasive skills in order to avoid commitment. Gemini, its polar opposite, is curious, full of energy, with strong communication skills, multitasks and can be surprisingly intense when flustered or is backed up against an intellectual corner.

Do any of the above ring a bell with you? If so, you have a chance to enhance the above positive characteristics and work on the challenging ones. Are you dealing with legal matters, learning or mobility limitations, intellectual or communication self esteem issues? Being organized, breaking down tasks and focusing on one goal at a time will help you sort them out. Look out for over spending, gambling, hip, and pancreatic issues.

There is a New Moon at 26 degrees 43′ Gemini, on the 18th.

This Moon is squared by Creative and nebulous Neptune and trined by Pluto retrograde.

It affects us all, but mostly the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) but also the first degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) due to degrees in proximity. You are directly affected by this New Moon, if your birthday is June 10-22, September 10-22, December 13-23 and March 12-22 .

A new life journey begun during the 2 New Moons back in April in go getter Aries that extends to October or January 2024, depending on your chart. After Mercury’s (ruler of Gemini) misunderstandings and delays in April-May, this New Moon in chatty and curious Twins gives you the opportunity to ameliorate your communication skills, more so if they cost you or hindered your progress. The value of clearly conveying your message is apparent. Balance is reached when you know what to say, how to say it and better yet, when to not say a thing! Commerce, media, travel and idea exchange can get a boost here. Be on the look out for deception however; if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Transformative Pluto is also present to test us by demanding reform in this area in a personal and collective level. Collectively because manipulation of information can be detrimental for the whole planet. Proper use of the power of information and communication will be rewarded on a personal level as well, with your endeavors rewarded. Scandals connected to social media platforms will emerge and burst out in the open in the next 6 months.

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE

Astro-highlight for June 2023: Task master, tenacious, hard work rewarding, albeit limiting, Saturn, is now direct. Translation? Have you been patient, worked hard, consistently and kept an open mind to changes? You are slowly coming out of the woods and depending on your chart, your hard work begins to pay off, as June rolls in. You probably are exhausted, like an athlete is, a few meters before the finish line. Keep plugging along, don’t give up now, your finish line is in front of you, June 11, 23 or 29, 2023, depending on your chart!

Astro Tip for the Fixed zodiac family (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, or people with points to your charts here); the North Node (Karmic evolution) at 01-03 degrees Taurus (birthday April 21-23 and South Node (inherited DNA) 01-03 degrees Scorpio (November 20-22). Saturn is at an uncomfortable angle but in direct motion and is here to reward, or not. Collect good Karma, understand that limits can be a blessing in disguise: remember how you were treated in the past and don’t fall for the same act again (the truth excavator Pluto is now retrograde). Do not be dictatorial, especially if you are a political leader with your Sun/Ascendant or points on Leo/Scorpio Taurus/Aquarius.
