 Mon June 2nd - Sun June 8th


Monday 6/02 - The week gets off to a slow start. It's hard to get organized today. Energy levels are low and people distracted as we spend the day sandwiched between two rather debilitating squares. The Moon squares Neptune early this morning (7:03 AM) and Saturn later tonight (8:02 PM).

The Moon enters Gemini at 4:06 PM.

Tuesday 6/03 - Thank goodness, the tone has changed since yesterday and people awaken in a lovely mood as the Gemini Moon moves toward a midmorning conjunction to Venus (10:53 AM). There are four planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus) in Gemini right now so the mood is very talkative, social and busy. The phone starts ringing off the hook and everyone wants to talk. People's brains are buzzing with new ideas. This can be a very creative time if you don't fritter all the energy away on chat.

The Moon is New in 13° Gemini at 1:23 PM so a new cycle is starting. This is a great time to share ideas and start new projects, especially anything involving writing, communication or the dramatic arts. Gemini is often restless and curious, wanting to get out and explore the neighborhood, so short trips are favored.

Mars in Leo sextiles the New Moon, energizing things and adding a dramatic flare. People will be giving some great performances in the next couple of weeks and it won't all be on stage.

The Moon conjuncts Mercury tonight (10:06 PM) so few will be getting to bed early, there's just too much mental energy to be able to get to sleep until things calm down.

Wednesday 6/04 - The Sun sextiles Mars (2:35 AM) so there's lots of energy available this week. It's is a good time to implement plans and take action that will bear positive fruit in the future. But last night was a late one for many so the morning is rather slow and uneventful (Moon trine Neptune at 6:09 AM) but dreamy and peaceful.

The Moon moves into Cancer at 3:16 PM. People are touchy and supersensitive this afternoon as the Cancer Moon opposes Pluto (3:38 PM). It's probably best to work on your own right now, as collaboration can be a bit difficult under this influence.

The evening is low key. A Moon/Saturn sextile has people ready for an early night. Time to catch up on sleep after yesterday's energy extravaganza.

Thursday 6/05 - There are no major lunar aspects today but we are being affected by a series of aspects that are lining up for the next few days.

Friday 6/06 - Romance is in the air as Venus in Gemini sextiles Mars in Leo (2:16 AM). People are open and interested. Ask for want you want and your prayers may well be answered. If you can clarify it enough to formulate a specific request and put it out there, you may be amazed at the results.

The Moon enters Leo at 4 PM.

Saturday 6/07 - The Sun conjuncts Mercury this morning (9:27 AM) adding more power to this week's Gemini focus. Gemini loves to be busy, with several projects going at once, so the pace is hectic. People will tend to over-commit themselves now but everyone is in a very social frame of mind so this will be a great day for any kind of gathering or party.

Mercury conjuncts Venus in Gemini this afternoon (3:04 PM). Mercury/Venus together add grace and style to all our efforts. Mercury/Venus has a flare for design, décor and those little touches that can make all the difference between class and tack.

It will be a busy night, a brilliant summer evening to remember. To start off with, the Moon conjuncts Mars in Leo (7:38 PM) so there's plenty of energy and people are in the mood for fun. Then the Leo Moon moves on to sextile Mercury (8:58 PM), Venus (9:48 PM) and the Sun (10:19 PM) so the mood is playful and things go smoothly, unfolding effortlessly. It would be a shame to stay home on a night like this, surely there's something entertaining you can go out and do.

Sunday 6/08 - It's a sleepy morning (small wonder) as the Moon opposes Neptune (9:41 AM) and people will be getting a slow start on the day. But an early afternoon Mercury/Mars sextile (12:29 PM) wakes us up. There's more fun planned for today so its time to get up and get going. Mercury/Mars is very expressive and loves to discuss, even debate, ideas and politics. The volume goes up a couple notches now. There's lots of talk but not necessarily much listening going on.

The Sun conjuncts Venus in 18° of Gemini (10:22 PM). This powerful alignment happens once every 10 months in one of five signs and then repeats the same five again. It's a very interesting cycle, unlike any other. Where these Sun/Venus conjunctions fall in your birth chart can be very significant. In general, Sun/Venus is considered a pleasant and convivial influence when people crave good company and a chance to socialize .

* All times are MDT (Mountain Daylight Time). For EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) add two hours. All aspects in bold are major influences that are in effect for several days. The Moon's daily aspects are rapidly shifting influences that are in effect for only a few hours.

 

  Mon June 9th - Sun June 15th


Monday 6/09 - This day is sandwiched between an early Moon/Saturn conjunction and a late night square to Mercury so the mood is serious and there's an undertone of low-grade depression. There is business to tend to but not much enthusiasm for the task.

Tuesday 6/10 - It's a friendly morning. People are in a good mood, feeling more cheerful and optimistic if a little lazy. The Virgo Moon squares Venus just before 10 AM and trines Jupiter at 10:23 AM. A spirit of restlessness sets in after lunch as the Moon moves into an opposition to Uranus (1:42 PM) and gets people up and out of the door in search of a little diversion.

Wednesday 6/11 - The Moon enters Libra at 3:55 AM and moves into a square to Pluto (4:03 AM) so the pre-dawn hours are disturbed by feelings of apprehension and disquiet.

Thursday 6/12 - Sudden changes are in the air this week because of today's Venus (1:38 AM) and Sun (11:24 PM) squares to Uranus. Expect the unexpected; sudden changes of plan will wreak havoc with schedules. People are unpredictable now and their reactions very different than normal. You could encounter some interesting and eccentric characters that spark your interest and inspire you to take more chances to achieve the freedom and independence you long for.

People are active and alert. Intellect is sharpened by a lunar trine to Mercury (8:27 AM) and sextile to Mars (5:03 PM), encouraging discussion and debate.

The evening is relaxed and pleasant, a good time to socialize with co-workers or contact an influential business associate (Moon square Jupiter in Cap at 8:07 PM).

Friday 6/13 - There's a sweet and gentle mood today as graceful Venus trines Neptune (8:54 AM), enhancing feelings of kindness, compassion and connectedness. This opens us to a heightened awareness of the beauty that surrounds us everyday but so often goes unnoticed. The Venus/Neptune trine is magnified by an early morning grand trine from the Moon in Libra, which trines Venus in Gemini (2:37 AM) and Neptune in Aquarius (3:16 AM). Sleep should be especially peaceful and dreams vividly beautiful tonight.

The Moon moves into Scorpio at 2:53 PM.

The second half of the day is focused and achievement oriented as the Moon sextiles Pluto (2:54 PM) and serious Saturn (9:14 PM). Many will chose to work late tonight.

Retrograde Pluto moves back into Sagittarius tonight (9:46 PM) for a final visit to the Sign of the Archer (6/13 to 11/22/08) before spending the next 15 years in Capricorn, where it will most certainly play havoc with the major institutions of the world.

Saturday 6/14 - There are no major lunar aspects on Saturday but two important influences make it a significant day. The Sun trines gentle, idealistic Neptune (3:03 PM). This is a dreamy aspect that prefers to stay low profile and operate behind the scenes. You may want to hide out or get away from it all for a little quiet time.

There's an interesting but potentially self-sabotaging aspect today. Mars conjuncts the South Node of the Moon (Ketu in Vedic astrology) indicating that we may act unconsciously and to our own detriment now. Try not to shoot yourself in the foot with ill-timed and rash actions. This is not the day to implement a big project.

Sunday 6/15 - It's Father's Day. Given yesterday's line up, Dad's idea of a Happy Day may be a long nap in the hammock followed a low-key family barbeque and a movie. Avoid an early start today.

Yesterday's tendency to make the wrong choice rear's its head this morning when the Scorpio Moon squares temperamental Mars in Leo (8:13 AM). Don't suddenly decide to take on an overly ambitious project. Take it easy. You'll be glad you did.

Around noon the time is right to get out and enjoy the day and things will go more smoothly now (Moon trine Uranus at 12:22 AM).

Things quiet down around 4 PM as the Moon squares mellow Neptune and its time for some serious relaxation.

* All times are MDT (Mountain Daylight Time). For EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) add two hours. All aspects in bold are major influences that are in effect for several days. The Moon's daily aspects are rapidly shifting influences that are in effect for only a few hours.

 

 Mon June 16th - Sun June 22nd


Monday 6/16 - The Moon moves into Sag at 3:19 AM. Energy levels are low this morning as we start off with a somber Moon/Saturn square at 10:06 AM. Things feel like a bit of a grind and it's hard to get back in the groove after the weekend. Don't expect much from this day.

Tuesday 6/17 - .The early morning hours are hectic (Moon opposition Mercury around 6 AM). Many will be getting a jumpstart on the day with lots of details to attend to before the day even begins.

This day won't quit, like Hillary or the energizer bunny it just keeps on running. A Moon/Mars trine (11:57 PM) will have many out howling at the nearly Full Moon.

Wednesday 6/18 - Shortly after midnight (12:44 AM) Venus, at the very end degree of Gemini, opposes Pluto, which has just retrograded into Sag. Venus/Pluto fires up our desire nature so this aspect can bring great feelings of longing, craving and desire. It's easy to fall off the wagon and into addiction at this time, whatever your addiction may be. Venus/Pluto will bring the weirdos and pervs out of the closet so exercise caution. Tomorrow's Full Moon falls right on top of this opposition, making it all that much stronger. Relationships where one person is being victimized and may even be clinging to their role as victim are ruled by Venus/Pluto. Getting involved with someone with a secret or criminal background is another potentiality under this alignment. Longing for a loved one or some material object may feel overwhelming now.

Venus enters Cancer at 2:49 AM.

The Moon is Full in Sag at 11:30 AM. This is a particularly powerful Full Moon and ones actions and thoughts, whether positive or negative, will make a strong imprint. Find something peaceful and graceful to focus on today, it will echo throughout the coming month.

The afternoon highlights yesterday's Venus/Pluto opposition. The Moon conjuncts Pluto at 3:47 PM and opposes Venus at 5:21 PM.

The Moon moves into Capricorn at 3:52 PM.

Thursday 6/19 - Mercury goes direct today after being retrograde for the past three weeks. Business negotiations that have been on hold will begin to move forward now.

There are no major lunar aspects today so things are generally quiet.

Friday 6/20 - The day begins on a cheerful and confident note. The Moon conjuncts optimist Jupiter at 7:22 AM and people wake up feeling good. There's an undercurrent of excitement and expectancy as we move toward a mid day Moon/Uranus sextile. Special weekend plans have us looking forward to some fun.

Today's Sun opposition to Pluto (1:40 PM) is an aspect of power and because it is an opposition this tends to be "power against" rather than "power for". People try to prove their strength by overcoming something or someone. Some will try hard to win or score points at someone else's expense. We can flex our muscles and feel our own strength today in a positive and healthy way. Tapping into a sense of your own power and ability, helps you relax into a place of strength and let go of the struggle.

The Sun enters Cancer at 5:50 PM. This is the Solstice point, the official beginning of summer, the longest day of the year. Celebrate the light .

Saturday 6/21 - The Moon enters Aquarius at 3:33 PM.

Venus sextile Saturn (3:14 AM) is a serious aspect given to dedication, devotion to detail and duty. It is a duty before pleasure type of aspect but, because it's a sextile, we may actually enjoy the duty we chose to shoulder today. Like babysitting for a friend or visiting a favorite elder, this could turn out to be fun.

Mars opposition Neptune (9:33 AM) is dreamy, idealistic and rather spaced out. Often motivated by the highest ideals, Mars/Neptune has a hard time getting out of fantasy land and actually doing anything. It can be remarkably unselfish, supporting the theme of the day, which seems to be one of service to others. (Mars moves more slowly than Mercury and Venus so its aspects last for 5 or 6 days.) .

Sunday 6/22 - The Aquarius Moon trines Mercury in Gemini (5:32 AM) so it's a very social day and the socializing starts early with early morning phone calls or maybe just a visit from the neighbors dogs but something gets you up and in gear.

Things quiet down this afternoon and the mood turns mellow as we head toward a late night Moon/Neptune conjunction.

* All times are MDT (Mountain Daylight Time). For EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) add two hours. All aspects in bold are major influences that are in effect for several days. The Moon's daily aspects are rapidly shifting influences that are in effect for only a few hours.

 

 Mon June 23rd - Sun June 29th


Monday 6/23 - This Monday is sandwiched between two rather difficult aspects, an early morning Moon/Mars opposition (4:16 AM) and a Moon/Saturn opposition (8:57 PM) later this evening. This is all about the upcoming Mars/Saturn conjunction, a combination that indicates lack of resources and demanding circumstances. People wake up feeling stressed about some limitation they're struggling with and spend the day dealing with the problem.

The Moon enters Pisces at 1:32 PM.

Tuesday 6/24 - The mood is more pleasant this morning. People arise from a restful night, soothed by a late night Moon/Venus trine (3:28 AM).

The afternoon gets hectic and rather confused as the Pisces Moon squares Mercury in Gemini (3:51 PM). There's lots of information coming in but it's easy to mishear and misunderstand. Better double check that you got it straight.

The influences of tonight's Sun/Saturn sextile (11:01 PM) colors the next few days. It encourages a mature and sober outlook. Self discipline is easier now. Tackle a task that requires focus and attention to detail.

Wednesday 6/25 - The pace is hectic and there could be a sudden change of plans this morning as the Moon conjuncts unpredictable Uranus (7:35 AM). Early morning traffic has more than it's share of fender benders.

Things calm down as the day progresses. The mood is introspective and a bit taciturn tonight as the Moon squares Pluto (8:16 PM). People tend to keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves under this influence so save the heart to heart conversation for another evening.

The Moon enters Aries at 8:49 PM.

Thursday 6/26 -People are contentious and pushy today as the Aries Moon squares the Sun (6:10 AM) and Venus in Cancer (3:21 PM). The tone is rather passive-aggressive as a suppressed anger simmers just below the surface.

Uranus goes into its annual retrograde phase at 6:01 PM (6/26 - 11/27/08) sublimating our urge for individual self-expression, as other concerns take precedence for a while.

This could be a late night. A Moon/Mercury sextile (11:39 PM) indicates lots of mental activity, so whether you're out socializing or at home cogitating it will be hard to calm our busy brains and get to sleep.

Friday 6/27 - The pace is low key and mellow today. The Moon sextiles dreamy Neptune (2:41 PM) so there's not much motivation for work. People take off early to get a jump start on the weekend.

But tonight the energy is intense and focused to the point of obsession as the Aries Moon makes a grand trine with Mars (9:18 PM) and Pluto (12:13 PM). People are determined to have their way no matter what the cost. This fire trine can be pretty macho and aggressive. Some are bent on confrontation tonight.

The Moon enters steady Taurus at 12:50 AM and cools things down a bit.

Saturday 6/28 - Looks like there are some chores on the list this morning. The Moon sextiles Saturn early on (8:02 AM) making it easy to buckle down and get things done. The tone is harmonious and homey around midday when the Taurus Moon sextiles the Sun in Cancer (1:16 PM).

The evening is relaxing and enjoyable (Moon sextile Venus at 10:58 PM). It's a great night for good times and good company.

Sunday 6/29 - The mood is cheerful and optimistic this morning as the Taurus Moon trines expansive Jupiter (7:47 AM). Taurus likes to take things easy and enjoys the predictability and familiarity of long-established routine.

The pace picks up this afternoon when the Moon sextiles adventurous Uranus (2:12 PM) so its time to get out and about and do something fun.

Things get very spaced out and confused later on when the Moon t-squares the recent Mars/Neptune opposition (square Neptune at 4:18 PM and at Mars 12:43 PM). Over-indulgence is the name of this game, just don't take it on the road.

* All times are MDT (Mountain Daylight Time). For EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) add two hours. All aspects in bold are major influences that are in effect for several days. The Moon's daily aspects are rapidly shifting influences that are in effect for only a few hours.

 

Mon June 30th - Sun July 6th

 

Monday 6/30 - The Moon entered Gemini at 2:03 AM.

It's another slow Monday. The Moon squares Saturn at 9:14 AM so people don't greet this day with much enthusiasm. The mood is somber and serious. There are responsibilities and looming problems that need to be dealt with. Mars trines Pluto this afternoon (4:53 PM) giving us the strength and determination to deal with whatever issues the upcoming Mars/Saturn conjunction (July 10th) is presenting us with.
