The astrological forecast for June begins with Mercury coming out of its retrograde and stationing direct in Taurus, while squaring a stationary Saturn in Aquarius.
Later in the month, there is a Full Moon in Sagittarius taking place on June 14, and a New Moon in Cancer on June 28. Mid-month, the mood shifts after Mercury’s return to Gemini, when we get four planets in their own domiciles: Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn.
What to Expect This Month
The month starts on a very mixed note. As Mercury goes direct on the 3rd, Saturn goes retrograde the very next day. With Mercury direct, things are finally what they seem, and we can stop looking for the fine print. We’re finally free to act in ways that will have long-term consequences without preparing for unpleasant surprises. However, the Saturn retrograde that starts on the 4th of this month, and ends on October 22nd, will demand a conscious process of introspection on our part. This process regards our duties.
On the 10th, we have a harmonious aspect between Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn. Mercury deals with communication and the mind, and Pluto deals with processes of transformation and the healing that happens after destruction. Grief is particularly relevant on this day. Circle this date as a great time to journal on traumatic things. On the 11th, Uranus in Taurus conjuncts Venus in the same sign. On this day, expect the unexpected in your love life, both for the bad and the good.
This month, the Full Moon happens on the zodiac sign of Sagittarius on the 14th. This is an invitation to leave behind certain elements of political beliefs, religions, and life philosophies that may be holding you back.
June 28th: New Moon in Cancer
The lunation at the end of the month in the caring sign of Cancer calls forward the reminder to tend to ourselves. This need will be emphasized by the New Moon being square to Jupiter in Aries. Jupiter is all about growth and Aries has a tendency to be rather self-interested. This is a good time to get in touch with your intuition and set some heartfelt intentions for the summer season ahead.
