On 9th June, there may be a complex interplay of thoughts and feelings while considering issues relating to personal identity or self-worth. It may help to look realistically at what is going on, then see what can be practically done about it. This situation only lasts for a few hours and is linked with the Moon in Scorpio interacting with Mercury at the beginning of Cancer, Jupiter at the end of Gemini and Chiron in Aries.

Later in the day of 9th June, Jupiter moves from Gemini into Cancer. This may be accompanied by a shift from the abundance of ideas that we have seen over the last year, to a greater focus on the emotions. Sensitivity to what people are feeling may lead to more effort to care for and protect others. The intuition may also be enhanced. Jupiter will remain in Cancer for about a year.

At the full Moon on 11th June, the Moon is in Sagittarius while the Sun is in Gemini. Both of these signs share the soul lesson of wisdom. This full Moon is a time when ideals and thoughts that go beyond the mundane of daily life can be brought into everyday conversations. When curiosity to explore new ideas is integrated into existing wisdom, the understanding of life may be enhanced.

During the second week of June, the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer interacts with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries. There might be a proactive move to think expansively in order to transcend the boundaries of what has been done before. While some ideas that emerge at this time might seem dreamlike, others, with effort, could become reality using new methods not previously thought of.

For much of the period covered by this update, there is a harmonious link between Mercury in Cancer and Venus in Taurus. Discussions can be friendly and agreeable, particularly when other peoples’ feelings are taken into account. This could benefit new actions being considered and implemented at this time. These may include movements towards helping or nurturing others in a range of ways.

On 17th June, Mars moves from Leo into Virgo where it will be until August. While Mars was in Leo over the last couple of months, much energy was directed towards confident expression of desires, the ability to organise and leadership. Once Mars moves into Virgo, a humbler tone may prevail, with more attention being given to the detail necessary to implement new proposals so they produce the optimum outcome.

Once Mars is in Virgo, more energy may be given to different ways of service. This could provide an outlet for sensitive and intuitive thoughts about ways to nurture and care for people. It could bring much satisfaction and help those in challenging situations. It may take a little effort to integrate wise action into ways of service that lead to peace, but it is possible.

For a few hours on 19th June, Mercury does not interact with any of the planets. While this is not unusual, it does not happen very often. It could be the opportunity to think about what one is feeling and feel the effect of thoughts. Memories may come to mind because of the emotions that were linked with them. The intuition may prompt thoughts that could lead to considered actions.

Three days later, on 22nd June, Mercury in Cancer forms a harmonious link with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction and this will last until early July. The imagination may be grounded in novel poetry, prose and music with the care and attention that pioneering ideas merit.

Pluto is the only planet currently retrograde. As Pluto is in Aquarius, there might be deeper thinking about issues concerning the collective, be that the local community, a nation or, more broadly, on a worldwide basis. Old ideas that may have been orientated towards individual power or wealth may be superseded by what is good for the majority of people as well as other forms of life on Earth.

The summer solstice in the northern hemisphere is on 21st June. This is also the day when the Sun moves into Cancer. Early on that day, the Sun, Moon and five of the planets are all within the first four degrees of their respective signs. There is a feeling to this that new experiences and learning opportunities are in abundance. There is so much to discover and so much to experience as humanity continues to evolve.

Keep well, stay happy.
