Forecast for June 01-10-2025
In the beginning June may feel a bit like a roller coaster ride as it starts off with 4 major and 2 inconjunct/quincunx, aspects plus Mercury will go out-of-bounds north on the 1st. Things may seem to slow down on the 2nd and 3rd as each has just one major aspect. Things should pick up again on the 4th as it starts with an inconjunct/quincunx followed by 6 major aspects and Venus will go void-of-course. The 5th offers two aspects, plus Venus returns to Her Taurus home. The 6th could feel chaotic to many as there will be 7 aspects, 4 major and 3 inconjunct/quincunxes. There will be just one major aspect on the 7th and then on the 8th we have the Mercury Jupiter conjunction, after which both go void-of-course, then Mercury enters Cancer. The 9th could be the Monday of all Monday’s as there will be 11 aspects, 7 major and 4 inconjunct/quincunx plus Jupiter will finally leave Gemini and enter Cancer. The 10th has no major aspects between the transiting planets, just one quincunx.
06/01/25 – 3:41 am – average Moon fixed conjunction Mars
Their conjunction at 21 Leo 18’, is the first of six aspects, all waxing, four major and two inconjunct/quincunxes. It is Sunday morning and this, like all conjunctions symbolizes a time to start something new. With Mars involved you might want to start a new health or exercise routine or something new that you have been thinking about doing. Maybe something will come to you in the night. With all waxing aspects, your focus should be on new or newer things that you are or want to work on.
06/01/25 – 5:20 am – Mercury goes Out-of-Bounds North
As Mercury crosses 14 Gemini 10’ they go beyond the Sun’s northern (higher) boundary. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “Two Dutch children talking.” This suggests that today might be a good day to get together with family or friends and talk about the future. What are your plans? What are their plans? What do you think of each other’s plans and thoughts? Keep an open mind. This energy will last over two weeks and then may shift when Mercury, while still out-of-bounds, goes into Cancer later this month.
06/01/25 – 11:52 am – slowing Moon waxing fire trine Venus
This second aspect is the pause and take time to review any recent actions, be it something you just did, or perhaps did yesterday or earlier last week. Are you getting the results you expected? Are they better than you expected or do you need to redo or change something? If so, better do it now rather than waiting.
06/01/25 – 4:32 pm – slowing Moon waxing square Uranus
This crisis of action square is the third aspect and would normally come before the waxing trine, but not today. Perhaps it is for an action you determined you should take as a result of your review earlier. With Uranus involved, trust your intuition and yourself when deciding what action to take.
Just six minutes later (4:38 pm), the Moon will make a waxing sextile to Jupiter for the fourth and final major aspect, after which She will go void-of-course for almost 3 1/2 hours, until entering Virgo at 8:00 pm. Set aside any new things that might come up during this time. If possible, wait until after the Moon enters Virgo before starting on them.
The waxing sextile is the first aspect after the conjunction and suggests taking time to review any new things you have started recently. Consider what your next step or action should be. Do you continue to work on it or do you need to set it aside for now?
Just over one hour after entering Virgo (9:04 pm), the Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to shadow Saturn. About 2 1/2 hours later (11:35 pm) She will make another waxing inconjunct/quincunx, this time to Neptune. With Saturn and Neptune so close together in the months ahead, get used to the Moon making an aspect to one and then the same aspect to the other rather quickly. This is the last aspect before the Moon will oppose them. Something may feel a bit off, but you may not know exactly what or why? That is the nature of the inconjunct/quincunx, you may not see it coming and it might put you off balance. It may serve as a warning sign that something is out of balance but probably won’t tell you what. That you will need to figure out for yourself.
If you can, take time to get in touch with what you are feeling, with whatever is happening. Note what you were doing or thinking when this feeling started. Be sure to record any dreams, “a-ha” moments, insights, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you during the night as they may offer clues to help you find your answers.
06/02/25 – 2:55 am – slowing Moon waning inconjunct/quincunx retrograde Pluto
Coming in the night, did something wake you? If so, note the time, what it was and as much descriptive detail as possible. If not, note what you are feeling, thinking, the first thing you saw, heard, or felt when you awoke. You will have most of the day to consider it as the next aspect won’t be until this evening.
06/02/25 – 8:41 pm – slow Moon waxing mutable square Sun
This crisis of action square may relate back to any new thing you started around the time of the last New Moon, May 26/27. Did you start something new then? If so, what action should you take now to keep it moving forward? It may also relate to any new thing started since then or long-term to something you may have started around the New Moon of 9 months ago, September 2, 2024. What should you do now to keep things in focus and moving forward?
06/03/25 – 8:23 am – slow Moon waxing mutable square (OOBn) Mercury
This crisis of action square relates back to their conjunction May 26, 2025. Did you start something new around that date? What about since then? How is it progressing? What action should you take now to keep it moving forward? Making a choice may not be easy as mutable signs can be indecisive at times. Trust your intuition. With the Moon in Mercury’s analytical, critical Virgo home, get real and be honest with yourself when deciding.
06/04/25 – 3:15 am – slow Moon waxing earth trine Uranus
This is the first of six exact major aspects, five by the Moon, today. While it may be subtle, with two oppositions and the last two aspects waning in nature, things are beginning to shift to older work in progress or things that need to be completed soon. Do you have things left over from May that you should have but didn’t get finished? If so, today might be a good day to get working on them, if you aren’t already.
Just seven minutes earlier (3:08 am), the Moon made a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to Venus. Did something wake you, perhaps a dream, sound, or feeling? If so, be sure to note the time and as much detail as possible. Be on your best behavior when dealing with matters of the heart and significant relationships.
06/04/25 – 4:11 am – slow Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waxing mutable crisis of action square to Jupiter, the second aspect of the day, the Moon goes void-of-Course for almost 2 1/2 hours, until entering Libra at 6:38 am. It is “Hump Day!” Avoid starting anything new during this period. Stick to your plans or routine. You can always switch things up after the Moon is in Libra. The crisis of action square to Jupiter suggests that whatever actions you take today, push yourself, maybe even beyond what you think you are capable of. You will never know your full potential if you don’t push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Jupiter is the greater benefic and He expects us to go big when appropriate.
06/04/25 – 8:04 am – slow Moon cardinal opposition shadow Saturn
The opposition offers an opportunity to recenter ourselves and find a place of balance. This is the point in every cycle when energy shifts from waxing expansive to waning completing. Time to decide what is ready to be finished and what may still have some “growing” to do.
Less than 2 1/2 hours later (10:30 am), the Moon will make another cardinal opposition, this time to Neptune, for the third and fourth aspects of the day.
Saturn and Neptune are often at counter points to each other. Saturn establishes rules and restrictions while Neptune wants to break them and, perhaps, lead us astray with His fog and deceptions. First rule of driving in a fog is slow down. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
06/04/25 – 1:52 pm – slow Moon waning air trine retrograde Pluto
This is the fifth and final aspect by the Moon today. This is the pause and plan your next actions trine. What to do, what to do? Consider your priorities. What is the best use of your time now?
06/04/25 – 7:32 pm – Venus goes Void-of-Course
Following a waning sextile to Jupiter, the sixth and final aspect of the day, Venus goes void-of-course for over 26 hours. This is their last aspect until their conjunction which won’t be until August 11, 2025. Are you working on any long-term projects that might take you another two months to finish? If so, and you don’t have a due date to finish it, you might want to set August as your personal due date. Be ready to start something you desire then. It doesn’t have to be big, but it should be something special to you. This waning energy should carry through tomorrow morning but be ready to shift after noon.
06/05/25 – 1:46 pm – slow Moon waxing air trine Sun
Time to take a pause and review the work you have done today, or even yesterday if you haven’t done so already. With the Sun shining their light on your work and the Moon to reflect that light into the shadowy parts, you should be able to clearly see what, if anything needs to be changed or added.
06/05/25 – 3:10 pm – (OOBn) Mercury waning sextile Mars
Shift happens with this waning, what can I get finished now sextile. Think ahead, what can I still finish today? Speaking of thinking ahead, Mercury will go retrograde before catching up to Mars so they will make two more waning sextiles in the weeks ahead, August 14, and then August 17, before they are finally conjunct October 19, when their new cycle will begin. What might you want to start then?
06/05/25 – 9:43 pm – Venus enters Taurus
The last time Venus was in Taurus was from April 29 to May 23, 2024. What was that period like for you? You should feel some similarity with how and what you felt then and what and how you will feel for the next four weeks, until Venus moves into Gemini on July 4, 2025.
Taurus is Venus’ fixed earth home. Here, where She may feel the most at home, safe, secure, and grounded, is an opportune time to go over your finances. Consider what you actually have. What is it you want, desire, or need? It could be the same thing or very different things. Avoid impulsive spending or buying things because other people have them. Consider its usefulness to you and whether you really need it before deciding.
06/06/25 – 7:19 am – slow Moon waxing sextile Mars
This is the first of seven aspects today, four major and three inconjunct/quincunxes. The day starts with four waxing aspects but will shift in the evening with two waning and one opposition. You can focus on newer work that needs developing during the day, but may want to shift to older, work that you can finish later in the day.
06/06/25 – 9:56 am – slow Moon waxing air trine (OOBn) Mercury
While this aspect is good for reviewing any recent actions taken, it may be best suited for reviewing any written projects or actions as Mercury is the messenger of the Gods and rules how we think and communicate.
Five hours later (4:13 pm), the Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to Uranus. Whatever you may be working on or doing at this time, stay alert as something may come at you as if “out of the blue.” This time it just might be something unique that you can put to good use.
06/06/25 – 6:04 pm – slow Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waxing air trine to Jupiter, the Moon goes void-of-course for over one hour, until entering Scorpio at 7:23 pm. Take some time to review your day, even if it is only in your mind. Do you have a plan for tomorrow?
Less than two hours later (9:09 pm), the Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to shadow Saturn. Shift happens tonight. If you don’t have a plan for tomorrow, you might want to take a few minutes to make one now as it will be Saturday, that is Saturn’s day, and He likes well laid plans.
06/06/25 – 9:22 pm – slow Moon fixed opposition Venus
It is Friday night and with this aspect it would be best if you played it safe and avoided risky or impulsive choices. Trust your feelings.
Two hours later, the Moon will make another waning inconjunct/quincunx, this time to Neptune. If you are out, stay in the light and avoid the darkness and any fog that may be around. Be sure to note any dreams you may have tonight.
06/07/25 – 2:37 am – slow Moon waning fixed square retrograde Pluto
This is the only aspect between the transiting planets today. Since it is Saturday, you may want to take advantage of the energy of this crisis of consciousness square to focus on finishing things around your home,
06/08/25 – 7:59 am – slow Moon waxing inconjunct/quincunx Sun
This is their last aspect before the Strawberry Full Moon opposition June 11. Stay alert as there is no telling what, if anything unexpected may show up.
06/08/25 – 1:12 pm – (OOBn) Mercury conjunct Jupiter
Their conjunction is at 29 Gemini 46’. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “Bathing beauties before a large beach crowd.” This reminds us that society places a high value on appearances. Dress for success. Dress for the occasion. Put your best foot forward. You only get to make one first impression so make it your best.
Following this, both go void-of-course. (OOBn) Mercury’s will last less than three hours, while Jupiter’s will last almost 25 hours as they won’t enter Cancer until tomorrow afternoon. For Mercury, think of this as being like a short retrograde, except without a do over. Proofread, spellcheck, grammar check, and recheck everything. For Jupiter, don’t get your hopes up. If you have been hoping for or expecting some new opportunity, reward, or other recognition, if it comes during this time, it may be less than you expected or it may be delayed. Take it in stride as things should get back to “normal” soon.
06/08/25 – 3:58 pm – (OOBn) Mercury enters Cancer
Now in the Moon’s home sign of cardinal water Cancer, some may be inclined to tell others just exactly what they think and how they feel. Sometimes, the truth isn’t what needs to be said. Know when to speak and when to hold your tongue.
06/08/25 – 10:57 pm – slow Moon waxing fixed square Mars
It is Sunday night, and this crisis of action square may be just the thing to help you put a successful end to your day. There may be time to act, but should you, and if you do, what action do you take?
Just 4 minutes later (11:01 pm), as the Moon crosses 25 Scorpio 33’, She will once again venture beyond the southern (lower) boundary of the Sun. Old memories, friends, or even dreams may show up. Be prepared and note any awake or sleep dreams you may have with as much detail as possible.
06/09/25 – 3:48 am – (OOBn) Mercury waxing cardinal square shadow Saturn
This is the first of seven exact major aspects today. Adding to this Monday morning energies, there will also be three inconjunct/quincunxes for a total of ten aspects today, seven of them before noon. Adding to that, Jupiter will bid adieu to Gemini as He enters Cancer where He will spend the next 55 weeks. Note any dreams or insight that may come to you as this crisis of action square may provide the answers you seek.
06/09/25 – 5:06 am – slow (OOBs) Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a fixed opposition to Uranus, the second major aspect of the day, the Moon goes void-of-course for almost three hours. It might be best if you just stick with your morning routine or whatever you may have planned for the day.
About 2 1/2 hours after going void-of-course (7:48 am), the Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to Jupiter. Waxing suggests that this should be a time of expansion; however, with this aspect, nothing may be as it seems so stay flexible and open to what may come. This is their last aspect before their opposition.
Eight minutes later (7:56 am), the (OOBs) Moon will enter Sagittarius and for some, a sense of relief and optimism may prevail, at least for a couple of days anyway. If you feel the shift from fixed water Scorpio to mutable fire Sagittarius, take the time to note just how it feels to you. Understanding and being able to anticipate these shifts can be very helpful in navigating the days ahead.
06/09/25 – 9:56 am – slow (OOBs) Moon waning fire trine shadow Saturn
This is the third major aspect of the day. Grad a cup of coffee or whatever you prefer and take some time to plan your next action as you shift your focus to things that need to be completed.
06/09/25 – 10:20 am – Venus waxing fixed square retrograde Pluto
This crisis of action square is the fourth major aspect of the day. Stay true to your deepest self, the who you are meant to be. Any actions today should reaffirm your beliefs and standards.
Less than one hour later (1:08 am), the (OOBs) Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to (OOBn) Mercury. Sometimes the thing that you didn’t see coming is just what you need to reinspire you. With both out-of-bounds, but in opposite directions, don’t be afraid to step out of your box when handling challenging situations or looking for new solutions.
06/09/25 – 11:55 am – slow (OOBs) Moon waning fire trine Neptune
This is the fifth major aspect of the day and it’s not quite noon. This is the plan your next action trine. With more waning aspects to come today, you may want to focus on older work in progress or things that need to be completed first this afternoon. Keep a clear head as Neptune may try to mislead or confuse you into thinking that what you see or hear isn’t really what you see or hear. Slow down and feel your way through or around any fog or delusions Neptune may put in your way.
06/09/25 – 2:02 pm – Jupiter enters Cancer
It has been almost eleven years since Jupiter was last in Cancer, June 25, 2013, to July 16, 2014. What do you remember of that time? Don’t expect a repeat of it, but there should be some similarities in themes and feelings in the 55 weeks ahead. Challenges or issues that you faced then may reappear in a new form, particularly if you failed to deal with them then.
06/09/25 – 2:58 pm – slow (OOBs) Moon waning sextile retrograde Pluto
This finishing sextile is the sixth major aspect of the day and their last aspect before their conjunction in five days, June 14. Check your work and make sure that you know what needs to be completed by then. That should probably be your focus for this week.
Just 25 minutes later (3:23 pm), the Moon will make a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to Venus. Did romance just throw you a curve ball or perhaps a knuckle ball? There are no new aspects. You have survived them all before and will do so again. How are you going to handle them this time?
06/09/25 – 3:54 pm – (OOBn) Mercury waxing cardinal square Neptune
This crisis of action square is the seventh major and last aspect of the day. While this may seem like the ideal aspect for a fiction writer, it may also inspire some to look to their dreams for answers and inspiration. When seeking the truth, listening may be your most valuable tool.
06/10/25 – 12:36 am – Mars waxing fire trine Chiron
Since Chiron isn’t a planet, this may not be a major aspect for most people. In fact, there are no major aspects by the transiting planets to each other today. However, with Chiron in Mars Aires’ home, this aspect does deserve mention. This is the pause and review of recent actions trine. Chiron rose above his challenging beginnings and became a great teacher. But before that, he was an avid student, who read, listened and learned. Then he shared his knowledge with others. He had great empathy and compassion for others, especially those who were suffering or less fortunate than himself. His is a worthy example to follow. Note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you during the night and on waking. They may help you realize that the answers you seek are within you.
Just over 9 1/2 hours later (10:13 am), (OOBn) Mercury will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to retrograde Pluto for the only other aspect today. Have some quiet time for yourself. Reflect on your day and your life. Your life has brought you to this point. You may want to ask yourself why and now what? Where do you go from here?
Forecast for June 11-20
The 11th has 1 quincunx and 6 major aspects, one of which is the June Full Moon. There will be 2 major aspects on the 12th followed by 1 quincunx on the 13th. There will be 7 aspects, 5 major and 2 quincunxes on the 14th, all by the Moon. There will be 2 important major and 1 quincunx aspects on the 15th, followed by 4 major aspects on the 16th as Mars goes void-of-course. On the 17th Mars bids adieu to Leo and enters Virgo. The 18th may be busy as there will be 7 major and 1 quincunx aspects. Catch your breath on the 19th with just one quincunx followed by 4 major and 1 quincunx on the 20th as Mercury returns in-bounds just before the Sun leaves Gemini and enters Cancer.
06/11/25 – 12:44 am – slow (OOBs) Full Moon opposite Sun
This June Full Moon, most commonly known as the Strawberry Moon, is at 20 Sagittarius 39’. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A child and a dog with borrowed eyeglasses.” Oppositions are about finding balance. This symbol reminds us that play or pretending can be an important part in finding balance in our lives. The dog represents a companion, a friend, reminding us that we are never alone. Solutions can be found in play, doing something we enjoy, and with the advice or help of others.
This is also the first of six exact major and one quincunx aspects today. Starting the day early, note any dreams you may have during the night and any feelings or other sensations you have on waking. Waxing, newer energy runs through most of the day with a shift to waning, completing energy later in the afternoon.
06/11/25 – 12:41 pm – (OOBn) Mercury waxing sextile Venus
This sextile is their first aspect after their conjunction. The conjunction and the sextile are the only major aspects that Mercury and Venus can make to each other. The sextile also tells us that they are on opposite sides of the Sun, one is ahead of the Sun and the other behind the Sun. Only from the point of view of the Sun can they make any other major aspects such as the square, trine, or opposition. As with any waxing sextile, you should focus on your newest work and what steps you should take to keep it moving forward.
Their current cycle began with their conjunction on March 11, 2025. They will make another sextile July 18, 2025, when Mercury will be retrograde and they will be conjunct again November 24, 2025, when Mercury will again be retrograde. This is all part of their cycle so pay attention to what is happening and what you are thinking and feeling.
06/11/25 – 12:58 pm – accelerating Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waxing fire trine to Mars, the third aspect of the day, the Moon goes void-of-course for almost 6 hours. This is the pause and review of any recent actions trine. Did you forget or overlook anything? Is your action having the results you expected? Do you need to change or do anything else to keep it on track? Those are some of the questions you might ask yourself at this time.
If you can, set aside any new work that may come in until after the Moon enters Capricorn. If you can’t, pay close attention to any instructions and proceed slowly and meticulously.
About 3 1/2 hours later (4:27 pm), the Moon will make a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to Uranus. This is their first aspect after their opposition. You may want to shift your focus to older work or things that need to be completed.
06/11/25 – 6:55 pm – accelerating (OOBs) Moon enters Capricorn
Now in cardinal earth Capricorn, the sign of Her detriment (weakest), the business sign of the Zodiac. This evening might be a good time to review your finances and budget, be it personal or for your business. Be sure to dot your “i’s” and cross your “t’s” and triple check your math. If something is amiss, now is the time to find it and balance your accounts.
One hour later (7:54 pm), the Moon will oppose Jupiter for the fourth aspect of the day. The opposition symbolizes a time to find balance and this one seems to be drawing our attention to our personal finances. This is not a “go big or go home” time. This is a be really realistic time.
06/11/25 -9:07 pm – accelerating (OOBs) Moon waning cardinal square shadow Saturn
With Saturn involved, this crisis of consciousness square, the fifth aspect of the day, maybe suggesting some “tough love” is in order when deciding what to eliminate, set aside, or reduce. Saturn is about the details, not just the big ones, but the little ones too. If something isn’t adding value or working, it is probably time to let it go.
06/11/25 – 10:51 pm – accelerating (OOBs) Moon waning cardinal square Neptune
This crisis of consciousness square is the sixth and final aspect of the day. Unlike Saturn, Neptune seems to prefer things less structured, more fluid. Be sure to note any dreams, “a-ha” moments, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night as there may be something there of value to your in the days ahead.
06/12/25 – 7:22 am – accelerating (OOBs) Moon waning earth trine Venus
This is the pause and consider what actions you should take next trine. If you have notes from last night, check them to see if anything applies to what you are working on now. If not, trust your instinct and proceed.
06/12/25 – 8:56 am – accelerating (OOBs) Moon cardinal opposition (OOBn) Mercury
The Moon and Mercury often show up in matters involving communication. Be sure to listen, then think about what you heard, then speak. Both are out-of-bounds so rely on your past experiences and intuition for the future.
06/13/25 – 3:06 pm – accelerating (OOBs) Moon waning inconjunct/quincunx Sun
This is the only aspect involving the transiting planets today and is their first aspect since their Full Moon opposition two days ago. What did you “harvest” at that time, possibly from a dream that night? How might that help you get things finished?
06/14/25 – 1:52 am – accelerating (OOBs) Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waning earth trine to Uranus, the first of five exact major aspects today, the Moon goes void-of-course for over two hours until entering Aquarius at 4:00 am. Because it comes during the night, not starting anything new during this time should be relatively easy. This is the what should I do next trine. Note any dreams, insights, “a-ha” moments, feelings or other sensations that come to you during the night or on waking. There may be important information in there for you.
About one hour earlier (12:50 am), the Moon made a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to Mars. The uncertainty and surprise of this aspect may add energy to any dreams or such that you may have.
Two hours after entering Aquarius (5:59 am), the Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Jupiter. Didn’t see that coming did you. Note what it was, what you felt, and how you responded. Details are important, even if they seem to be wrong, such as a dream about someone you know but the person doesn’t look like them.
06/14/58 – 6:21 am – average (OOBs) Moon waning sextile shadow Saturn
This is the second aspect of the day and their last aspect before their conjunction. Time to finish something. You will feel better when you do. Now, make plans for what you want to start at their conjunction in four days.
Just 1 1/2 hours later (7:52 am), the Moon will make another waning sextile, this time to Neptune for the third aspect of the day. What do you want to finish now? What do you want to start at their conjunction in four days? It may be the same thing you want to start as part of the Moon’s conjunction with Saturn as it will only be one hour earlier.
Ten minutes later (8:02 am), the Moon, now at 2 Aquarius 09’, will return in bounds. Some may feel this shift back to a more “normal” like energy, others may not feel anything.
06/14/25 – 10:27 am – average Moon fixed air conjunction Pluto
This is the fourth aspect of the day and marks the beginning of a new Moon Pluto cycle. This could be a good time to start a new routine such as eating an extra serving of fruit and or vegetables every day or going for a daily walk to help clear and refocus your mind or both. Pluto expects us to become the very best version of ourselves that we can. The Moon, through Her monthly cycles can help us to change old negative patterns and habits into new healthier, better for us ones.
06/14/25 – 8:57 pm – average Moon waning fixed square Venus
This crisis of consciousness square is the fifth and final aspect of the day. With Venus involved perhaps the thing to let go of or eliminate is the “desire” for something or someone that we know we don’t need, can’t have, isn’t good for us, or won’t make us happy.
06/15/25 – 2:47 am – Mars waxing fixed square Uranus
This crisis of action square coming in the wee hours of Sunday morning may tempt you to do something you know you shouldn’t. Don’t undo the good that you have started yesterday. Pay attention to any dreams, visions, or realizations that you may have. If you are out, stick with trusted friends. The Moon is rising later and reflecting less light, so avoid the dark. Trust your instinct. If something or someone seems to good to be true, then they probably are.
Just 8 minutes later (2:55 am), the Moon will make a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to (OOBn) Mercury. You won’t see it coming, whatever “it” may be, so you may want to be in a safe place alone or with trusted friends or family, just in case.
06/15/25 – 7:36 am – Jupiter waxing cardinal square shadow Saturn
The current 20 year Jupiter Saturn cycle began with their conjunction December 21, 2020, at 0 Aquarius 29’. This is their third and final crisis of action square. The two prior ones were August 19, and December 24, 2024. Do you remember if you started anything new around the date of their conjunction, perhaps a new job, an investment, relationship, or other long-term goal? What about the dates of the prior crisis of action squares? Do you remember anything important about either or both of those dates? If so, something related to them may come up soon.
This is the last aspect today. Since both planets move slowly, you should expect this energy to last throughout the day.
06/16/25 – 3:02 am – average Moon waning air trine Sun
This is the pause and plan your next action trine. Note any dreams you may have during the night. Today offers four exact major aspects, three of them waning in nature. It may be best if you focus on older work or other work that needs to be completed this week or this month.
06/16/25 – 9:18 am – average Moon waning fixed square Uranus
This is the crisis of consciousness square that you dreamed about or planned for during the night. Tap into your unique individual talents and experiences as you choose what actions to take, what to keep, what to let go of, what adds value and what doesn’t.
06/16/25 – 10:31 am – average Moon fixed opposition Mars
Following this both the Moon and Mars go void-of-course. The Moon’s will last just over 1/2 hour, until 11:09 am, when She will enter Pisces. Mars’ will last just over 15 hours. While the Moon is void-of-course, set aside any new things that come to you until after the Moon enters Pisces. Then pick them up, check them out, and do whatever is necessary to get them started.
With Mars void-of-course, be extra cautious as accidents resulting in physical injuries may be more common. Keep a watchful eye out for the other guy, the one who causes accidents. Don’t make any impulsive decisions, don’t take any shortcuts, and watch your back.
Seek a balance in your work between the newer things that need to expand, develop, and move forward and the older things that need to be consolidated and completed. You know your priorities and your goals. Your plans should encompass how best to achieve both.
06/16/25 – 2:01 pm – average Moon waning water trine Jupiter
This is another pause and plan your next action trine. With Jupiter in the Moon’s home sign of Cancer, you may just want to plan big to go small as this is a consolidating aspect.
06/17/25 – 1:35 am – Mars enters Virgo
Mars neither gains nor loses strength in Virgo. However, Virgo is the mutable, movable, unsteady, earth sign which may not provide the surest footing for Mars as He “plows” through. Virgo is described as being analytical and critical so proceed with caution. Avoid impulsive decisions. Know your limits and keep within them. If you must criticize, make it constructive criticism.
06/17/25 – 8:02 am – accelerating Moon waning sextile Venus
This is another day of waning, consolidating, finishing aspects so continue to focus on work that needs to be completed. This is the finish something sextile so you can plan what new thing to start at their conjunction. With the Moon accelerating, there seems to be a sense of impatience to get this new thing started. Whatever you are planning to start then, make it special and desirable.
06/17/25 – 5:09 pm – accelerating Moon waning water trine (OOBn) Mercury
This is another pause and plan your next action trine. What do you have in mind? It could be something that you can still do today, or it may be your to do list for tomorrow. Think about it, you will probably have most of tomorrow morning to work on your plans.
06/18/25 – 12:19 pm – accelerating Moon waning mutable square Sun
This crisis of consciousness square is the first of seven exact major aspects today. Five of them will occur between 6 pm and 10 pm, which could make for an interesting evening, at least for some. The day continues the emphasis on waning aspects until this evening when there will be a shift as the last two aspects are both waxing energy.
Following the waning trine from yesterday afternoon, this may be the consolidating action square you have been planning for. Time to put your plans into action.
06/18/25 – 2:34 pm – accelerating Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waning sextile to Uranus, the second major aspect of the day, the Moon goes void-of-course for just over 1 1/2 hours, until entering Aries at 4:08 pm. This is another “finish something and make plans for something new” ending sextile. With Uranus involved, don’t be afraid to get creative in finding a way to complete something or for something new to start at their conjunction in four days. Trust your instinct.
Over 1 1/2 hours later (5:45 pm),the Moon will make a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to Mars. With the Moon now in Mars Aries home and picking up speed, whatever it might be that you don’t see coming could be coming in hot and fast, so be alert and aware of your surroundings.
06/18/25 – 6:38 pm – accelerating Moon cardinal conjunction shadow Saturn
This third aspect of the day marks the beginning of a new Moon Saturn cycle. You’ve had four days since their waning sextile to figure out what new thing you are going to start. But have you? And what about the Moon conjunct Neptune new cycle in just over one hour? Will the new thing be part of both cycles, or do you have something different in mind?
06/18/25 – 7:46 pm – accelerating Moon waning cardinal square Jupiter – cardinal conjunction Neptune
This crisis of consciousness square is the fourth major aspect today and is followed simultaneously by the fifth major aspect of the day when the Moon will conjunct Neptune. Are you starting one new thing embracing the structure of Saturn and the whimsical fantasy of Neptune, or will you start two distinctly different things?
06/18/25 – 8:16 pm – Jupiter waxing cardinal square Neptune
This is the sixth major aspect today and will be their only crisis of action square this cycle, which began April 12, 2022. Their cycles run for about 13 years from conjunction to conjunction. Are you working on a long-term thing that could last 13 years? Perhaps you are working on a dream project that won’t last that long, but does have other characteristics that might intrigue and inspire you. If you have been dreaming of going big, this aspect could be your go for it aspect. Neptune may try to confuse or delude you, but Jupiter should help protect you from a major disaster.
06/18/25 – 9:57 pm – accelerating Moon waxing sextile retrograde Pluto
This is the seventh and last major aspect today and their first aspect since their conjunction four days ago. It is late, so this “finish something” aspect may be about planning what to finish to start your day tomorrow. While you are at it, consider what, if anything, you might want to start at their conjunction in four days.
06/19/25 – 5:08 pm – Mars waxing inconjunct/quincunx shadow Saturn
There is no exact major aspect between the transiting planets today. This “you can’t see me” aspect between the two ancient malefics, which only happens every couple of years, could be anything from a minor “oops,” to a big one. Some structures may collapse. It could be something you’ve written, a relationship, something small like a crack in your favorite cup or something big such as your home or the building you work in. Be alert and aware of your surroundings.
06/20/25 – 3:32 am – fast Moon waning cardinal square (OOBn) Mercury
Starting with this crisis of consciousness square, today is another day of waning major aspects. You should focus on work that needs to be completed by the end of the month or sooner. What actions do you take today with that goal in mind? Note any dreams, insights, awarenesses, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night or on waking. This energy should last throughout the day as there won’t be another aspect until this evening.
06/20/25 – 6:49 pm – fast Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waning sextile to the Sun, both the Sun and the Moon go void-of-course. The Moon’s will last just 4 minutes as She enters Taurus at 6:53 pm. Not starting anything new during those four minutes shouldn’t be too hard. The Sun’s will last almost one hour. It would be best if you didn’t start any new self-help, self-improvement program, video, or book during this time. Wait until the Sun enters Cancer to start it.
The waning sextile is the complete something aspect, but what may you ask? Don’t have plans for tonight? Make some, then do it. Maybe there is some “spring cleaning” to complete, or maybe you have something that needs to be repaired that you can fix.
06/20/25 – 7:37 pm – Mercury returns In-Bounds
Now back in the comfortable boundaries of the Sun, many may feel as if their minds have settled down and are less chaotic. What are your thoughts at this time? Are they focused or disconnected? Do they feel more like your own? How would you describe them?
06/20/25 – 7:42 pm – Sun enters Cancer
This is the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere as the North Pole (not the magnetic north pole) has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. This is when the Sun is at its maximum north or highest in the daytime sky.
Just over 1/2 hour later (8:14 pm), Mars will make a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to Neptune. This pairing could dash your plans for a quiet evening as Mars heats up the otherwise cool waters of Neptune’s world. This may not be the best combination for a visit to the beach. If you go, pay attention to the water. If it starts to recede rapidly, you may want to head to higher ground, just in case.
06/20/25 – 10:29 pm – fast Moon waning earth trine Mars
This is the pause and plan your next action trine. What do you do for the rest of the night? What are you going to do tomorrow? Make some plans.
Just 41 minutes later (11:10 pm), the Moon will make a waning sextile to Jupiter. What are you doing now? Is it something that you can finish tonight, or should you set it aside to complete in the morning? Your choice.
Forecast for June 21-30
There will be 2 major aspects on the 21st, followed by 6 major and 1 quincunx on the 22nd. Three major and 1 quincunx on the 23rd followed by 2 major and 1 quincunx on the 24th. The Cancer New Moon on the 25th is one of 4 major and 1 quincunx aspects that day. There will be 4 major aspects plus Mercury will leave Cancer and enter Leo on the 26th. There will be 5 major aspects on the 27th, and 3 on the 28th. The 29th may kick up a storm as there will be 5 major and 3 quincunxes plus the current Moon Wobble should end just as Mercury enters their shadow. With no aspects on the 30th, we may get a short reprieve to prepare for July.
06/21/25 – 12:24 am – fast Moon waxing fixed square retrograde Pluto
With retrograde Pluto involved, this crisis of action square suggests that there may be newer things that you have started that you need to get back to. Even if you can’t complete it, do something to keep it moving forward. There won’t be another aspect until tonight, so this energy should last through the day.
06/21/25 – 10:02 pm – fast Moon fixed earth conjunction Venus
This meeting of the two Great Ladies of the zodiac is at 16 Taurus 31’. Like all conjunctions, this symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle. This could be a good time to work on any existing relationships or to put your “best foot forward” if you are looking for a new meaningful relationship. Take it in slow steps as this pair meet every month offering an opportunity for moving forward, making corrections, or starting your search over. The right one is out there. Sometimes they show up when you aren’t even looking.
06/22/25 – 3:32 am – Mars waxing sextile Jupiter
This is the first of six exact major and one quincunx aspects today. The waxing sextile is the first aspect after the conjunction and symbolizes a time to review things started recently and assess how they are developing. If you decide to keep them, you should make plans for what to do next to keep them moving forward.
06/22/25 – 10:44 am – fast Moon waning sextile Mercury
This second aspect of the day is the last aspect before their conjunction and symbolizes a time to complete things so you can start something new at the conjunction. In addition to completing something, you may also want to think about what new thing you want to start at their conjunction in about five days.
06/22/25 – 11:36 am – Sun waxing cardinal square shadow Saturn
This crisis of action square is the third aspect of the day. This square relates to new things started recently that may need your attention and some action today to keep them moving forward. What have you started recently that you are ready to take some action on to keep it moving forward? This looks to be a good day for it. Just be sure that any action you take is well thought out. For the long-term projects, this may relate back to something you started around the time of their conjunction, March 11, 2025, that you haven’t finished yet.
06/22/25 – 12:20 pm – fast Moon goes Out-of-Bounds North
The Moon is at 25 Taurus 18’ when She goes high beyond the northern boundary of the Sun. This places Her zodiacally conjunct the fixed star Beta Perseus, referred to as the head of Medusa by the ancient Greeks and also known as the Lilith star. Just because She is no longer bound by the standard rules of the Sun, doesn’t mean you should go “wild and crazy,” as you might just lose your head, figuratively or literally.
In the coming days, some may find themselves thinking more about their future. It could be about things or people, what you want, or about what may lie ahead for you. It is your future, make it what you want it to be.
06/22/25 – 6:50 pm – fast Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a fixed earth conjunction with Uranus, the fourth aspect of the day, the Moon goes void-of-course for just over one hour until entering Gemini at 7:57 pm. It is late enough that you should be able to set aside any new thing that comes up until after the Moon enters Gemini. If you see or get an offer that seems to good to be true during this time, just know that it probably is, so best to avoid it, or at least, don’t go “all in.”
Just over two hours later (10:00 pm), Mars will make a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to retrograde Pluto. It is Sunday night, what could it be? With this pair, it could be insignificant, or it could be important, but most likely it will be sudden and may relate to something or someone that you encountered recently, possibly the last six months or so.
06/22/25 – 10:33 pm – fast Moon waxing sextile shadow Saturn
This is the fifth aspect of the day. You may want to take some time to reflect on any new things that you may have started recently. If so, consider what you should do with them tomorrow to keep them developing and moving forward.
Less than one hour later (11:25 pm), the Moon will make another waxing sextile, this time to Neptune, for the sixth and final aspect of the day. While this may be a continuation of what you were thinking about with the previous aspect to Saturn, this may manifest as a dream or some insight during the night. If so, be sure to note the time and as much detail about it as you can recall. They will be helpful tomorrow.
06/23/25 – 1:18 am – fast Moon waxing air trine retrograde Pluto
This is the pause and review of any recent actions trine. Coming in the night, you may have a dream or sudden realization of something that you forgot to do or that you need to do first thing in the morning. If something wakes you, be sure to note what it was with as much detail as you can recall.
Just eight minutes later (1:26 am), following a waning mutable square to Mars, the Moon will go Void-of-Course for over 43 hours. This crisis of consciousness square may serve as a reminder of things you need to do or things that you should get rid of, such as old clothes that are worn, don’t fit, or out of date. If something wakes you, be sure to note what it was with as much detail as you can recall.
Forty-three hours is a very long Moon void-of-course. If you can, don’t start anything new during this time. If you must start something new, that is something that comes up during this period, or that you had but haven’t looked at yet, then proceed with caution. Review it. Make a detailed plan and then, as you work on it, recheck your work frequently to make sure that you don’t overlook or forget anything.
06/23/25 – 1:29 am – Sun waxing cardinal square Neptune
This crisis of action square comes just three minutes later. This is about taking action on any newer work that you may have. Both of these bodies move slowly and since there won’t be another aspect until late tonight, this energy should carry through the day. Focus on new work that needs your immediate attention.
Almost 22 hours later (11:16 pm), Jupiter will make a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to retrograde Pluto. How do you plan for the unexpected, the unseen, that which you cannot anticipate? You can’t, but coming this late it could be an emergency phone call, a late night knock on your door, or a dream, sudden insight or awareness of something important. Whatever it may be, proceed with caution. If need be, note what it is with as much detail as possible. Come morning, do what you need to do.
06/24/25 – 8:17 am – Sun cardinal water conjunction Jupiter
This is the annual conjunction of the two largest bodies in our solar system and marks the beginning of a new Sun Jupiter cycle. While you might be tempted to go big, their conjunction is at 3 Cancer 22’ and the Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A cat arguing with a mouse.” This symbol suggests that there may be some imbalance in your life, perhaps an argument or disagreement with a child, someone “weaker” or “stronger” than you, or perhaps within a group or organization that you belong to. It could be between you and a subordinate or you and your boss. If such a situation arises, be the “bigger” person and do what you can to defuse the situation. Avoid arguments, speaking when angry, and anything else that would be inappropriate. This is a long cycle and anything negative started now could have a long lasting impact on your life.
Over two hours earlier (5:59 am), the Sun made a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to retrograde Pluto. The suddenness of this could affect the issues and outcome of the Sun Jupiter conjunction. Pay close attention to what you are thinking, feeling, and what happens over the next two hours.
06/24/25 – 8:44 pm – fast (OOBn) Moon enters Cancer
Her long void-of-course finally ends as the Moon returns to the strength and comfort of Her cardinal water, caring Cancer home. If it isn’t too late, you may want to call someone close to you to see how they are doing, let them know that you care, and offer whatever support you can if needed. Some may find their thoughts and actions turning to those people or causes closest to them. To nurture and care for others is a sign of honor and nobility, but don’t forget to nurture yourself.
06/24/25 – 11:28 pm – fast (OOBn) Moon waxing cardinal square shadow Saturn
This late night crisis of action square might remind you of something you have left undone or something you need to do, change, or correct. If so, and you can’t do it now, be sure to note what it is and what you will do to “fix” it in the morning.
06/25/25 – 12:16 am – fast (OOBn) Moon waxing cardinal square Neptune
It is a busy morning as there will be five aspects, including two major conjunctions, all within the next four hours. It has been less than one hour since the Moon made this same aspect to Saturn. Neptune is known for trying to tear down old barriers, systems, and beliefs. Does this relate to the earlier square to Saturn, or might this be about something different? Note any dreams or insights that may come to you during the night as they may give you the answers you seek.
Less than two hours later (2:05 am), the Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to retrograde Pluto. More surprises in the night? If so, note the time and whatever they were with as much detail as you can recall.
Just 28 minutes later 2:33 am), the Moon will make a cardinal water conjunction with Jupiter. This begins a new Moon Jupiter cycle. Did anything notable happen around this time? If so, note it in as much detail as you can recall.
06/25/25 – 3:32 am – fast (OOBn) New Moon cardinal water conjunction Sun
This New Moon conjunction is at 4 Cancer 08’. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “An automobile wrecked by a train.” This symbol suggests that there may be some area in your life which may come in conflict with that of others. It isn’t suggesting who may be right or wrong, but rather that you need to choose your words/battles carefully. Sometimes, both sides may be right or wrong, depending on how what they are saying is said.
06/25/25 – 4:17 am – fast (OOBn) Moon waning sextile Mars
This is their last aspect before their conjunction in about four days. This is the finish something aspect as you are getting close to the end of the month. This is the last exact aspect today, so the waning, consolidating, completing energy will carry through. Today, you should probably focus on any work that needs to be completed by the end of this month.
06/26/25 – 2:45 am – Mercury goes Void-of-Course
Following a waxing sextile to Uranus, Mercury will go void-of-course for almost 9 1/2 hours. The waxing sextile serves as a reminder not to ignore any new work that may come in. There may actually be something that has a short time frame and needs to be completed by the end of the month or earlier. It may be something you need to write or at least think about.
When Mercury is void-of-course, treat it like a short Mercury retrograde without a do-over. Spell check, grammar check, then recheck everything that you are writing whether it be a short text to “Mom,” or a lengthy paper, proposal or online posting. Allow Uranus to add a little unique creativity to your style.
06/26/25 – 7:11 am – Sun waning sextile Mars
This is their last aspect until their conjunction January 9, 2026, which marks the end of their current cycle which began November 17, 2023. Did you start anything new around that time, perhaps a fitness program or a remodel or construction project, something long-term? If so, how is it going? How close are you to finishing it or taking it to the next stage? You have plenty of time to finish it and make plans for what new project you want to start at their next conjunction.
06/26/25 – 8:08 am – fast (OOBn) Moon waxing sextile Venus
This is their first aspect since their conjunction five days ago. Did you start anything new around or since that time, perhaps a new relationship or personal acquisition? If so, how is it going? Are you satisfied with the current situation? If not, what should you do to “fix it? Plan any actions carefully as you may not get another chance.
06/26/25 – 12:09 pm – Mercury enters Leo
With Mercury’s entrance into the Sun’s fixed fire Leo home, some may find their attention directed toward their appearance or that of others. With Leo noted for wanting attention, this may become a significant topic of discussion with oneself or others. How would you describe yourself to a blind stranger?
06/26/25 – 10:16 pm – fast (OOBn) Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waxing sextile to Uranus, the Moon goes void-of-course for less than one hour, until entering Leo at 11:05 pm. Coming this late in the day, not starting anything new during this time shouldn’t be too hard.
06/27/25 – 12:13 am – slowing (OOBn) Moon conjunct Mercury
It is another busy morning as this is the first of five exact major aspects, four of them before 5 am, today. If you get to sleep through this barrage, fortunate you. If not, be sure to note what woke you, the time and as much detail as you can.
When the Moon and Mercury get together, it can be a perfect time for a “gab fest” with like-minded friends over late night treats. Who would you want to share this with and what would be your preferred treat?
Less than two hours later (2:04 am), the slowing (OOBn) Moon will make a waxing fire trine to shadow Saturn for the second aspect of the day. This is the first of two of these that symbolize a time to pause and review of any recent actions. Perhaps the realization that you forgot to do or finish something will wake you. If so, whatever it may be, be sure to note it so you won’t forget to do it in the morning.
Just 26 minutes later (2:30 am), the Moon will return in-bounds. Back in the boundaries of the Sun, people who may have been acting up or out may start to seem to be more in control. Are you one of them? If so, note the potential correlation between your feelings and the out of bounds Moon.
Just 20 minutes later (2:50 am), the Moon will make Her second waxing fire trine, this time to Neptune for the third aspect of the day. Will Neptune dissolve walls that may have been preventing you from seeing the truth or will He try to hide it from you with His fog? Trust your instinct. You decide which it is.
06/27/25 – 4:39 am – slowing Moon fixed opposition retrograde Pluto
This fourth aspect opposition is from the Moon in fixed fire Leo and retrograde Pluto in fixed air Aquarius. Fire and Air signs are always opposite each other. To maintain a safe fire requires the right mix of both. Without enough air, the fire will go out. With too much air, the fire may get out of control. Maintaining your balance to be most effective would seem to be the “order of the day.” This is also the last aspect until this evening, so this morning’s energies should carry through for most of the day.
06/27/25 – 8:53 pm – Mercury waxing fire trine shadow Saturn
This, the fifth and final aspect today, marks Mercury’s turn at a double waxing fire trine, first to Saturn and then tomorrow morning to Neptune. Perhaps, take time tonight to review what you have done today and what you still have to do by the end of the month. Make a plan for what you will start with tomorrow and what else you should or need to do.
06/28/25 – 4:58 am – Mercury waxing fire trine Neptune
With Neptune in cardinal fire Aries and Mercury in fixed fire Leo, this should be the end of the fire imbalance, at least for a while. You may want to start your day by reviewing any notes or plans from last night, just in case you might decide to change something.
06/28/25 – 5:23 pm – average Moon waxing fixed square Venus
Today ends with this crisis of action square between the two Grand Ladies of the zodiac. Did you start anything new around the time of their conjunction, June 21? If so, how is it coming along? At their waxing sextile on the 26th, you should have been making plans for what action to take with this square. Did you? Do you have a plan of action for whatever you started on the 21st? If so, it’s time to put it into action.
06/29/30 – 12:57 am – Mercury fixed opposition retrograde Pluto
This is the first of five major and three quincunx aspects today so it may be rather unsettling for some. Be alert and stay flexible as there may be changes ahead that you haven’t and can’t prepare for.
Like the Moon’s two days ago, the expectation with this opposition for finding balance may be likened to a “controlled burn.” Pay close attention to whatever may come to you during the night and your first feelings, thoughts, and impressions on waking up. If you hear voices, note whose voice it is and what they said.
06/29/25 – 4:03 am – average Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waxing fixed crisis of action square to Uranus, the second aspect of the day, the Moon goes void-of-course for less than one hour, entering Virgo at 4:44 am. If you don’t sleep through this, it may be best that you start your day by sticking to whatever you had planned or to your morning routine. Things might get a bit dicey as your morning starts so stay alert and be aware of your surroundings.
06/29/25 – 7:21 am – Moon Wobble Ends, Maybe
At this time, the Sun is now more than 17 degrees from either lunar node. The frequency and strength of natural or manmade chaos should begin to lessen in the days ahead. They won’t end as they are a part of our daily lives as we live on this ever changing planet we call Earth.
Less than one hour later (8:02 am), the Moon will make the first of three consecutive inconjunct/quincunxes, first a waxing quincunx to shadow Saturn followed by another one, this time to Neptune at 8:45 am. Almost two hours later (10:37 am), the Moon will make a waning quincunx to retrograde Pluto, for the third and final quincunx today. This sequence may have some feeling out of balance as they fall on either side of the opposition. Be like the Weeble toy, you may wobble, but don’t fall down, figuratively or literally. You have experienced all of these aspects before and will experience them again as they are part of the Moon’s natural monthly cycle.
06/29/25 – 1:13 pm – slowing Moon waxing sextile Jupiter
This is the third major aspect of the day. Take time to review any new things you may have started around or since their conjunction four days ago. If you have started something new, does it need your attention now? If so, consider what your best course of action should be as their crisis of action square is the next aspect in sequence.
06/29/25 – 6:14 pm – slowing Moon mutable earth conjunction Mars
It is Sunday evening, a good time for a get together. This fourth aspect of the day finds them meeting at 7 Virgo 13’. Those with planets or other sensitive points at or near this degree may feel this stronger than others. Do you want to start something new now? If so, you should probably make it something that can be completed before their next conjunction, July 28, when they will meet up near the South Lunar Node. Your new project to start then may actually be an old one you want or need to restart.
06/29/25 – 8:54 pm – slowing Moon waxing sextile Sun
This is the fifth and final aspect of the day and their first aspect since their New Moon conjunction on the 25th. If you started something new around that time, this would be an opportune time to review how it is doing and consider what action you should take next.
06/29/25 – 10:54 pm – Mercury enters their Shadow
As Mercury crosses 4 Leo 14’ 58”, they enter their shadow, the space that they will transit over three times, before, during and after their coming retrograde. Those sensitive to Mercury retrogrades should plan accordingly. Otherwise, the usual cautionary “rules” should apply. Spell check, grammar check and recheck all written materials, be they emails, texts, postings to websites, or other documents, printed or electronic. Check to make sure that whatever you may be sending is only going to those it is intended for. Better to be safe, than sorry. When speaking, even in informal conversations, Abraham Lincoln said it best, “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”
06/30/25 – There are no exact major or quincunx aspects today
June ends with no exact major or quincunx aspects between the ten traditional transiting planets. However, that does not mean that they won’t be making aspects to your planets. Keep track of how your day goes as it may provide clues as to how the transiting planets affect you.
Forecast for July
July starts with only Pluto retrograde but will end with 4 planets retrograde as Neptune, Saturn and Mercury all put it in reverse. There will be five exact major aspects consisting of three trines and two oppositions on the 1st. There will be three exact major aspects on the 2nd, and no exact major aspects between the ten traditional transiting planets on the 3rd. What was June 30 like for you? There could be some real fireworks on the 4, as there will be 5 major and 4 quincunx aspects, which includes Venus conjunct Uranus, then She goes void-of-course and leaves Her Taurus home for Mercury’s Gemini home plus Neptune will station retrograde. To top it off, Neptune will station retrograde, joining Pluto. It may feel as if things aren’t letting up as there will be 3 aspects on the 5th and 7 on the 6th, 2 by Venus and 5 by the Moon, including Uranus going void-of-course. On the 7th, Uranus will return to Gemini for the first time since WWII, then there will be 3 major and 2 quincunx aspects. There will be no exact major or quincunx aspects on the 8th, followed by 3 major and 2 quincunx aspects on the 9th and the Capricorn Full Moon on the 10th.
There will be 4 major and one quincunx aspects on the 11th, followed by Saturn stationing retrograde on the 12th. It should be relatively quiet on the 13th with just 2 aspects, followed by 4 on the 14th, and just 3 on the 15th. There will be 5 aspects on the 16th and just 3 on the 17th, but Mercury will also station retrograde then. There will be 3 aspects on the 18, 3 on the 19th, and 4 on the 20th.
There will be 3 aspects on the 21st and then things may seem to pick up as there the Sun enters Leo followed by 5 aspects on the 22nd. There will be 2 aspects on the 23rd followed by 8 on the 24th, which includes the Leo New Moon. On the 25th there will be just 1 aspect but on the 26th there will be 5, and then just 1 on the 27th. There will be 2 aspects plus Venus will go void-of-course on the 28th, followed by 7 aspects on the 29th. On the 30th, Chiron will station retrograde and Venus will enter Cancer followed on the 31st by 6 aspects, 3 major and 3 quincunx to end July.
Pacific Daylight time is what is being used right now.
I’m sorry I’m new to reading your column. I love the exact times but are you referring to PST or GMT?
Yes, Katerina, Venus did enter Aquarius on Monday, January 2nd at 6:09pm PST.
Hi Jim, you mention Venus in Capricorn with the Cancer moon today. I have read other astrological sources which mention that Venus is now in Aquarius since January 2nd. I would appreciate you clearing up my current confusion regarding the actual Venus placement now. Thanking you in advance, Katerina Rellos
Re: your comment on “like kidney stones”, unfortunately not true. My father’s stones were subjected to lithotripsy back in the late 1990s. Maximum 3 treatments were permitted. His stones stood their ground. At least he was not in discomfort.
I enjoyed this reading otherwise.
Thank you!
Interesting. Thank for your efforts!
Thank you for your insights
It’s been a powerful Super Moon (March 9th) so far…also interesting it is so near Venus conjunct Uranus. It feels like really big things are happening on every front.
Here are the basic astrological details of His Royal Highness, Prince of Cambridge. Weight 8 lbs. 6 oz., according to news reports, the heaviest future King by birth weight in 100 years of more. Correct birth time is July 22, 2013, 4:24 pm, London, England.
A true “cusper” with Sun 29 Cancer 58. Moon 28 Capricorn 17, which means that HRH was born less than 3 hours before the full Moon at 0 Aquarius. Birth ascendant is 27 Scorpio 10 and his birth M/C is 20 Virgo 36. He was born with 7 of the 10 primary points in Cardinal signs and 6 of them in water signs. He has a Grand Water Trine of Mars 6 Cancer and Jupiter 5 Cancer trining Saturn 5 Scorpio and trining Neptune 5 Pisces. He also has a Cardinal T-square with Mercury 13 Cancer opposing Pluto 9 Capricorn and both squaring Uranus 12 Aries. He has none of the 10 primary points in an Air sign and 3 of them are retrograde. 3 retrogrades is the second most common number, 2 being the most common. Born with Mars out-of-bounds north might he be a rather precocious child, to say the least.
What a time to be born for the new prince-princess in England!
Leo sun, Cancer planets: care for the family = the Kingdom, Aquarius Moon- we need open minds in the future!
Hey Jim,
Source: Astronomical Phenomena For the Year 2013, prepared by US Naval Observatory and Her Majesty’s Nautical Almanac which defines lunar eclipse time as Moon reaching centermost point of its journey thorough the shadow cast by the earth, and solar eclipses timed for maximum obscuration — typically different from time of simple conjunction. However, I note the Rosicrucian Ephemeris, citing JPL and the US Naval Observatory call it at 5:21. I’m betting there’s yet another computation out there.
Hi Dane, thank you for your comment. Not sure what your source for the eclipse time is. I use Solar Fire 8 for the dates and times I post. The time is based on the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon which is 5:28 pm PDT. The NASA eclipse site shows a time of 5:26 pm PDT.
Probably just an editorial slip, but believe the May 9 eclipse doesn’t happen until 5:55 at 19 Taurus 33. Enjoy your observations!
“01/18/13 – 12:56 am – Mercury conjunct Sun 28 Aquarius 26”
Sun still in Capricorn
Oh boy! I am not an astrology student, however, I do enjoy reading your article every week. I have picked up the tiniest sliver of what is being discussed and from what I am able to glean, July sounds like it has the potential to be rather challenging. As a Taurus, I was happy to have read about the Mercury retrograde before it happens! I will be carefully watching my “p’s & q’s ” throughout the month and refer back to the entirety of the article – changes are a-comin’ for sure.
Thanks for your work!
