Musings on The Cosmos - June
Deep dives, big shifts, and how to ride the waves
Strap in, because June is shaping up to be an astrological epic, and I'm here to give you the inside scoop on navigating these celestial currents. We're talking deep dives into relationships, a major planetary shift that will impact us all, and endless opportunities to tap into your deepest wisdom. Let's unwrap what the stars have in store!
Early June: Healing Old Wounds & Embracing Earthy Pleasures
We kick things off on June 1st with a potent alignment: Venus meets Chiron in Aries, harmoniously supported by a Leo Moon and a loose Jupiter sextile. This is your cosmic green light to finally address those delicate relationship issues you might have been sidestepping. Old wounds or forgotten sources of conflict could surface now, but don't shy away. The magic isn't necessarily in a complete fix, but in sincerely acknowledging the pain. That act of recognition, of truly seeing the hurt, can be incredibly healing.
Just a few days later, on the 5th, Jupiter in Gemini sends a friendly sextile to Venus, and the very next day, the planet of love, Venus, glides into lush Taurus. Get ready to lean into all things sensual and grounded. Think long walks in nature, savoring delicious food, or simply finding joy in the beauty around you. Venus in Taurus also has a soft spot for security and a touch of luxury (hello, beautiful jewelry!), so be mindful of your bank balance. Indulge a little, but don’t get swept away.
Mid-June: A Flood of Feelings & Major Cosmic Currents
The 9th of June brings a significant shift as both Mercury and Jupiter make their grand entrance into watery Cancer. Just hours before, they'll have a super-charged conjunction in the final degrees of Gemini, meaning your mind might be racing at lightning speed. However, distinguishing between thoughts and feelings could be tricky. My advice? Don't take everything you hear at face value, and yes, that includes the stories you tell yourself! For some, this could feel like an emotional roller coaster, so hold on tight.
Jupiter's move into Cancer is a BIG deal, astrologically speaking. It will stay there until summer 2026, shifting our collective focus to themes of belonging, receptivity, and deep family matters (however you define "family"). This period connects us with the powerful archetype of the Great Mother in all her myriad forms, promising a rich, mostly welcome, wave of emotion and intuitive connection.
Immediately after entering Cancer on the 9th, Mercury finds itself in a challenging dance with Saturn and then Neptune on the 10th. This could make understanding what's going on a bit murky. Facts might get embellished or even outright twisted, and your own assessment of situations could be subtly skewed. Stay cool, try not to let chaotic energies overwhelm you, and trust that clarity will return.
Simultaneously, Venus in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius. For those in relationships, this could ignite some intense experiences, while artists might find themselves in a creative high. Just remember to maintain your freedom and agency amidst these powerful energies.
Then, on the 11th, we have an illuminating Full Moon in Sagittarius. This fiery lunation forms a gorgeous trine with Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries. This confident, expansive Grand Fire Trine imbues us with a feeling that anything is possible. It’s an excellent time to push past old limits and achieve things that once seemed out of reach.
Late June: Review, Revolution, and Profound Blessings
As we move towards the middle of the month, a sense of nervousness might creep in. On June 15th, the challenging Jupiter-Saturn square becomes exact. This aspect calls for a critical review of the profound social changes we've experienced in recent years. It's about bringing structure and accountability to our grand visions.
With Mars and Uranus also forming a square, impatiently demanding freedom and revolution, the collective mood could suddenly shift, potentially unleashing pent-up frustrations. Then, on June 19th, the Jupiter-Neptune square exacts, highlighting the tension between our idealistic dreams for a better world and the hard realities we face. Meanwhile, Mars enters diligent Virgo on June 17th, eager to roll up its sleeves and get to work if given a clear task. Channel that restless energy into something constructive!
The 21st of June marks the Summer Solstice as the Sun enters Cancer – celebrating the longest day of the year! Immediately afterward, the Sun forms three momentous aspects: squaring Saturn and Neptune on the 22nd and 23rd, and conjoining Jupiter on the 24th. This powerful cosmic soup challenges us to hold space for feelings of doubt, fear of loss, and perceived lack, right alongside a deep yearning for security and belonging. It takes immense care and attention to honor both sides of this reality. Try to stay centered and ride out the tension.
The Cancer New Moon on June 25th could bring a powerful, unexpected breakthrough! The Sun, Moon, and Jupiter are all in a rare and potent conjunction – a truly exceptional constellation that can richly reward an open and receptive soul. This is a magnificent time to express heartfelt gratitude for the richness and abundance in your life, especially the people who feel like “home.”
Finally, on June 26th, Mercury enters bold Leo. Two days later, it forms a supportive trine with Saturn and Neptune, and then opposes Pluto on the 29th. This combo encourages concentrated, careful thinking that can lead to truly amazing and valuable insights. Your words also carry tremendous power now, so speak your truth. The right question asked at the perfect moment can trigger significant, positive developments.
June is clearly a month of deep processing, potent shifts, and incredible opportunities for growth and insight. Are you feeling these energies already? What challenges or breakthroughs are calling to you?
