This has been an eventful couple of months, with the impactful Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, following the powerful Eclipses and the Spring Equinox. Solar Flares are adding a new awareness to not just Earth weather, but now also Solar and Cosmic weather. The last days of May brought the conjunction of Mercury and Uranus, which gives us all a boost of excitement, with shocking information coming out, causing everyone to respond to the high-powered energy in the collective with events that change our reality in some way.
This is Gemini Season, another emphasis on the Air Element. As each planet slides from Earth Taurus, where the energy is comfortable, safe, and slow moving, they make an easy trine aspect to Pluto in the first degree of Aquarius. The Sun ingressed to Gemini on May 20, starting the shift of energy and attention to the realm of ideas, reasoning, and the whole creative flow that allows inspiration to arise.
Mercury rules Gemini. After its meeting with Uranus, it brings insight, new thoughts, and a radical change in energy when it moves to its own territory and informs the stellium of planets already there. This is a wonderful time of meeting of minds and demonstration of opinionated emotions. This of course, will bring a movement that informs and activates the collective goals and intentions.
Venus and Jupiter offer their benefic energies in Gemini through being congenial, principled, unbiased, and searching for T-truth. When planets aspect Pluto by trine, it offers opportunity for deep probing research and investigations which bring to the surface information and ideas, which at this period for humanity and for the Earth, there is a collective new way of seeing things that are happening. Certainly, this is a huge process, which can be seen in the Earth changes occurring now.
The first week of June is energized, optimistic, and forward focused. Energy is conducive to new agreements, joint ventures, opportunity for new alliances, friendships, and new business expansion. Venus will conjunct the Sun, and Mercury conjuncts Jupiter, while the Moon is still in Taurus, the money sign. Projects initiated on June 4 could create something popular and profitable.
The New Moon is on Thursday, June 6, at 16 Gemini, is squaring Saturn in Pisces. This pulls into focus our responsibilities and keeping ideas in touch with current reality and not investing energy in things that will not support the dream long-term. On the other hand, with the new sense of purpose and direction, and with the additional insights of this period of Air coming so strongly, we may find that some objections or obstacles are more emotional than actual and can be smoothed away with understanding and reason.
On the weekend following the New Moon, is the Moon in its sign Cancer, known for family, clan, nurturing and protecting what we care about and our property. So, note that it will be an ideal time for fun group gatherings. The personal planets will each be challenged for a day or two with some oversensitivity if we are holding on too much to the past. Fortunately, Gemini loves to talk it through and try to see both sides of a situation and be in the present moment. Dissolve family feuds.
Heads up for some very explosive and potentially volatile situations on June 11, when Mars, now in the sign, Taurus, makes a challenging square aspect to Pluto in Aquarius. Mars is in Venus’ sign and Venus is very strong now, having just initiated a new Star Point in Gemini in its 8-year cycle. It is still under the Sun’s beams and moving toward its phase as the Evening Star when it will reappear in late July.
In this Venus phase, it contributes compassion to Mar’s war-like tensions. Given the prevalence of Air themes, there is hope for discussion and coming to new resolutions. In our personal relationships, we keep in mind what is important for the long game. Winning the argument by being louder and more forceful does not fit the consciousness shift to new ways of working out differences and bringing about a better future.
- Pluto contributes to the pressure of the evolutionary life processes even general growth, and development of greater Society. Its current passage in Aquarius reflects the historical rebellion of 1778-9, when Mars also made square aspect from Taurus to Pluto in Aquarius.
This was the initial period of the Revolutionary War:
The American Revolutionary War was an insurrection by Patriots in the 13 colonies against British rule, resulting in American independence.
This should remind you that these are serious times of change, and we should not take our lives for granted. We can express as a larger body of “We the People” and make our voices count. To do that, we must pay attention to what is being done to us, for us, and against us. Not just as Americans, but also as citizens of the Earth. Environment, Globalist influences on governments, and dissemination of social rules are not just topics for Politicians, and elected representatives, but everyone who wants to live a free and natural life.
The last two weeks of June might be difficult for some people. Venus and Mercury square off with Neptune, which is lingering at the degree of the Fixed Star, Sheat, the shipwreck star. The last degree of Pisces has some dangers, but also brings resolutions to new life from the deep and letting go of old paradigms. June 16-18 has the Moon in Scorpio. Often, this is the emotional darkness for some people who feel they have no options, or in some way that ‘all is lost’. This is a time to be alert, recognize suicidal symptoms, and give support.
As the Sun completes Gemini, it makes a square aspect to Neptune, who will turn retrograde July 2, in the very last degree of the Zodiac: 29:55 degrees Pisces. The Sun’s shift from Mutable to a Cardinal sign marks a pressure point of the year, where the Sun peaks at its highest declination in the Northern Hemisphere. Summer Solstice arrives on June 20. The next day is the Full Moon is at 1 Capricorn that will highlight to us what to protect and when to let go of superfluous things. Mercury and Mars are in an aspect of communicating and planning.
Projects and collaborations can seem positive and productive. Mercury will be in trine with Saturn on the 26th giving a sense of security. Then, Saturn retrogrades on the 29th, causing reversals and cancellations. Some agreements and projects will fall through. It may feel like it was not worth the time and energy that when into them. We can become aware of false promises and the surfacing of lies that will change our perspective and our choices. We might find better clarity in the early part of July with some positive aspects that will help our choice of direction.
Consider this Summer season to be a work in progress. There is more to consider about creating our new world towards the end of the year. Keep your personal dream open to things you never knew or imagined possible. We are witnessing the crumbling of old, long held in esteem, paradigms of our lives.
