The Sky and Zodiacs for the:

Month of June

A summer, in the Northern Hemisphere, unlike any other. Still, if we remain grounded and informed, it can be fun and productive.

RESPECT NATURE.

NATURE WILL RESPECT YOU…

…RIGHT BACK.

This is not my usual monthly tip format, but i feel compelled, before i proceed with the regular astrological June aspects, to briefly address one more time the coronavirus issue (related article was written in February, found in the Monthly Tips March 2020, the ‘Giving Back 2020’ segments and the Posts).

Are we all not witnesses, to Mother Nature ‘catching her breath’, as pollution evaporated from metropolitan areas around the globe? Or the animals going for a stroll and looking for food in urban areas, safe from the most aggressive predator of all, us, human beings? According to the World Health Organization, ” Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.” The question here is; how do they get into humans from animals?

Poaching, illegal trading, abuse, in some entertainment parks/zoos and overall mishandling of our fellow living animals, can contribute to such exceedingly dangerous conditions to our health. Again, the same question emerges; how do these infectious viral strings get into humans from animals? Most of us have been blissfully ignorant or indifferent to this reality. Some brave and few, are out there on the front line, fighting the good fight. On both Giving Back 2019-2020 and Giving Back 2020 segments, you will find a list of individuals and organizations doing amazing work for all of us. Get involved, sign petitions, do what you can to protect the innocent; not only these animals, but your own family or self. So we can still have a fun, productive and safe summer. Just not for ourselves only, this time around.

“Amazing people are behind amazing deeds. Strong people are behind tough tasks”.

Our newcomers will find below a brief, yet vital introduction to our planets, in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest. You may be curious enough to visit, but have no clue about astrology and zodiac signs.

• Sun: center of our galaxy, associated with Leo, sign of creative force-Helios in ancient Greece, the god of light.
• Mercury: nearest to the sun and fastest moving, associated with Gemini and Virgo, signs of communication-Hermes in ancient Greece, messenger for the gods.
• Venus: next in line and second brightest star on our sky, associated with Taurus and Libra, signs of strength and beauty-Aphrodite in ancient Greece, goddess of love.
• Earth: following suit, the planet of life growth, associated only by element (earth) with Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn- Gaia in ancient Greece, the primal mother earth goddess.
• Moon: the earth’s only natural satellite, associated with the sign of Cancer, sign of nurture- Artemis goddess of hunting and a healer of women.
• Mars: the red planet, associated with Aries, sign of assertion and drive –Aris in ancient Greece, god of war.
• Jupiter: the largest planet of our system radiates double the light it receives from the sun, associated with Sagittarius, sign of expansion and illumination- Zeus, in ancient Greece the god of gods.
• Saturn: next the ringed majestic planet of order, associated with Capricorn, sign of duty and dependability-in ancient Greece the god Pan, protector of woodlands and shepherds.
• Uranus: the gas giant, associated with Aquarius, the sign of innovation- Aquarius or beautiful Ganymede, the son of Trojan king Tros, was taken to Mount Olympus by Zeus to act as cup-carrier to the gods.
• Neptune: a striking blue giant, associated with Pisces, the sign of healing and illusion- in ancient Greece representing the fish into which Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed
• Pluto: the yellow dwarf planet or huge asteroid, associated with Scorpio, the intense truth-seeker- he was called on earth by Goddess Artemis to kill Orion, who wanted to destroy all animals.

You may notice occasionally, astrological dates can seem to be one (1) day off, (for example a planet enters a sign on the 12/13). This occurs because calculations are based on Tropical Midnight Ephemeris, Time Zone EDT (04 west). Add or subtract hours, based on your Time Zone.

JUNE 2020

June 21st, Summer Solstice begins in the N.Hemisphere

Mercury turns retrograde.

2nd Pluto-Jupiter conjunction in Rx-retrograde*

Mercury retrogrades can usually cause a lot of disruptions in communication and travel (February 17-March 10). The very welcome news in June, regarding Mercury, is its position in emotional and intuitive Cancer, in direct motion, until June 18. When Mercury (communication) is in Cancer (nurturing, emotional security), get ready for a ‘lovey dovey’ kind of month! Putting deals back on the table, reconnecting with loved ones, solidifying partnerships, business or marriage. Surely, care will be needed after the 18th, during the retrograde. Venus, planet of love and money, is Rx-retrograde until the 25th. This is a retrograde, even more prominent than Mercury’s, during this June. Use this time frame to re-evaluate or refresh such issues, if you were not able to close the deal, business or love related! Mercury is also connected to health, so the chest and stomach areas will be more sensitive. Let us look at Mercury and other planetary aspects for the month. On June 3rd, Venus in Gemini squares Mars in Pisces. Heated conditions permeate relationships, with money matters on the spotlight. There is a Full Moon and penumbral Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees and 34 minutes Sagittarius on the 5/6th, illuminating, as eclipses do, the lunar north and south nodes on the Gemini/Sagittarius axle. This regards the balance between hastiness in speech and challenging the higher mind. It directly affects Mutable signs, (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) or those with points on these degrees in their chart. Mars forms a direct square with this Eclipse on the 5th and the Sun on the 6/7th. Mars is infused by Neptune until their exact conjunction on the 13th. Translation? The need for fun and escape are understandable and acceptable. Flakiness in pursuing ‘fun’ times through escapism (substances, denial) are unacceptable and dangerous. For yourself and the entire planet. We can plan a getaway but within reason, under the circumstances. Mars, aggression and drive, sextiles transformative Pluto on the 19th and expansive Jupiter on the 20-21st. You can put your affairs in order, with a sprinkle of luck. You can also loose your balance due to the long running pressure. Dispense extra intense energy through a sport or exercise/nutrition regime. Remember, these are the days (June 23-30) that Jupiter and Pluto, both in Rx-retrograde motion, form their 2nd direct conjunction for 2020. It is so easy to loose control of our actions, emotions and priorities. Pluto possesses the penetrating skills to put salt on the wound and Jupiter, to bring theses wounds to the surface.

There is a New Moon and Solar Eclipse on June 21st, at 0 to 1 degree Cancer. It is an emotionally charged aspect, with family related issues on the table. It affects mostly Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) born at the last two degrees or Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), born at the first two degrees. It conjuncts the North Node in Gemini, illuminating Karmic family ties or lack thereof. Refrain from driving, if you feel too tensed or aloof. Neptune turns Rx-retrograde, June 23rd. Dreams can, in some cases guide or in others, help shape our future. At times, they can be confusing or stressful. In such cases, consult a specialist for guidance. Venus Rx-retrograde, confuses our judgement regarding love and money issues but turns direct June 25. Have that conversation, regarding the future of your personal/business partnership, before the 28/29th. On the day, Mars sextiles Saturn and for many, depending on your birth chart, can signal great new beginnings. The planet of aggression, drive, passion and sexuality, enters its natural sign, Aries. This is a force to be reckoned with. Handling it appropriately, will determine the end result, as Mars will stay here for an unusually long period; from June 28/29th to January 6th, 2021, (including an Rx-retrograde phase September 10 to November 14). Food for thought; In June, a devil-may-care attitude, will make the ‘devil’ care.

Here are the twelve zodiac sings for the month of June. Get even more insight when you read both your Sun sign and the one that corresponds to your Ascendant. Emphasis is put, among all other aspects, in the importance of Mars and Venus transits, two personal planets, that rule some of our primary earthy needs.

Aries

You may still be stressing about financial or property/inheritance issues from April/May. Venus sextiles your Sun in fun loving, lighthearted Gemini but the planet of love and money, is Rx-retrograde until the 25th. It travels through your area of communication, movement and siblings. Use this time frame to re-evaluate such issues, if you were not able to do so in April/May. June 3rd, Venus in Gemini squares Mars in Pisces. Keep your temper when discussing money matters. Restlessness is your enemy. There is a Full Moon and penumbral Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees and 34 minutes Sagittarius on the 5/6th, illuminating, as eclipses do, the lunar north and south nodes. Combined with Chiron in Aries, more so if your birthday is March 28-29, these plans may come to a halt. Think of this temporary ‘pause’ as an opportunity to double check everything. Perhaps you missed crucial information. What can lead things astray? You, out of control, with Mercury square your Sun and Rx-retrograde in emotional cancer, after the 18th. Mars, your ruler, is infused by escapist Neptune, until their exact conjunction on the 13th and forms a direct square with this Eclipse on the 5th and the Sun on the 6/7th. Translation? The need to escape is understandable. Impulse in pursuing ‘fun’ times through escapism (substances, denial) are unacceptable and dangerous.

Jupiter conjuncts Pluto on your MC, Solar House of aspirations and ambitions! You are ready to break down barriers (particularly April 11-14 born Aries)!
