June's Cosmic Forecast: Moving from Intention, not from Influence
After an intense Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius in late May, many of us will be craving connection and purpose on a soul level! Airy and intellectual Gemini season is in full effect, bringing an abundance of opportunities to socialize and welcome in new, inspirational energy.
Although this can be exciting, the Universe is asking us to be intentional about the manifestations we are calling into our lives. It’s a good reminder during Gemini season that quantity does not always mean quality! Gemini sparks our curiosity, teaches us to open our minds to the new, and helps us to tap into our creative genius.
June will bring in many opportunities for us to indulge in every whim (or new connection) that catches our eye. On June 2, our love planet, Venus, enters domesticated and nurturing Cancer! Cancer is connected to our home, maternal energy and our intuition. This transit brings a new level of intensity and inspires affectionate love in our lives. It’s important to remember to pour love into yourself first before overextending to others!
But Gemini’s flighty nature will help keep our communications more light and playful. Remember to have fun, keep relationships easy during June! Prioritize connection on a mental level, and flex your intellect when developing new relationships. Use your natural intuitive nature to see who is speaking their truth, versus who is being a smooth talker.
On June 10 we will experience both our annual solar eclipse in Gemini and a New Moon! Communication will be amplified on this day. Brainstorm your big ideas with those who motivate you, broaden your horizons when it comes to your reach, and take a chance on approaching someone first!
There will be energy around connectivity and how we show up in the world. Do not get distracted by the overstimulated nature of this energy! When you feel overwhelmed with new ideas or energies, ground back into your intentions. Don’t entertain everything that crosses your path this month, just because it is shiny and new! Discern what is for you and what has come in as a distraction from your purpose. Tap into your intuition to help you see the truth of these new offers fully!
On June 14, heavy hitting retrograding Saturn in Aquarius will square stubborn Uranus in Taurus. This will be the second square between our planet of community and planet of individuality that will be happening this year. We can feel a tug of war within ourselves about wanting to engage with our communities or take our own singular path. How can your purpose and work do both of these things? Can you show up for others without losing your unique voice? We are being challenged by this transit to fully release the past in order to move forward into the future. Where have you been remaining stubborn and unyielding in order to maintain control? Use this Gemini season to truly pose the question of “Why?” about your belief systems. Some of them may be outdated to your new spiritual ideologies or be past projections from others. Gemini understands there is always a methodology to the madness and two sides to every story. Look at both sides, weigh the pros and cons, before making your final decisions on where you stand.
June 20 will be a power packed day! We will be celebrating the seasonal changes with the Summer Solstice. This energy encourages play, passion, and time in the great outdoors! Many of us will feel fiery and motivated to get things moving, and entertain or socialize with others. On the same day, our planet of luck and fortune, Jupiter, will retrograde in spiritual and dreamy Pisces. This is a placement that focuses on introspection, the deep emotional dive, and our inner wisdom. With both the Summer Solstice and Jupiter Retrograde occurring simultaneously, use this time period to strike the balance between externalizing action and self reflection, and your internal dialogue.
These are the days that are stepping stones to greatness. How can you be curious to who you are becoming while also remaining true to your spirit?
How can you create a better relationship to self in order to strengthen your connection to the divine? Retrograding Pisces in Jupiter can make us get trapped in misconceptions or fantasies. Utilize the elements of air and water this month to ground back into your reality. Burning incense, scrying, taking baths, or spending time by bodies of water can be helpful for you. Create more self compassion for yourself through daily ritual practices and be prepared to have your beliefs and faith put to the test. The universe is making sure you are ready to receive all the blessings to come in the upcoming months.
Also occurring on June 20, our Sun will officially enter the emotional water sign, Cancer. All this celestial water activity will help us with tapping more into our psychic abilities and fine tuning our intuitions. Cancer is the home, our connection to nurturing and to motherhood. In what ways can you better mother yourself this season? Cancer energy allows us to dive deeper into the depths of our emotional world and feel everything to its fullest capacity. This is an important lesson, as it teaches us to process our emotions versus allowing stagnation to happen. This could be a time where we reflect on what home, family and motherhood means to us. Working with your inner child is highly recommended during this time. Give them the support they may have not received! Hold space for every uncomfortable emotion that arises within you. On the other side of fear, anger, or sadness are incredible breakthroughs!
A sigh of relief comes with Mercury stationing direct in Gemini on June 22. Mercury Retrogrades can do a number upon our communications, relationships, and the small details of our lives. Now is the time to address all the lessons you learned from the retrograde period! What did this transit teach you to pay attention to? How can you communicate better with others?
Mercury stationing direct opens up the path for us to be able to function forward again. Revisit your contracts, negotiations, and communications with a clearer mind. You will feel more grounded to give your projects the green light to move forward! If Mercury retrograde inflicted a lot of pain or miscommunication within your relationships, be intentional about reconnection. Make amends for anything that may have been said in the heat of the moment or from a hurt place. For those who are ready to release connections that Mercury Retrograde removed, cleansing rituals and cord cuttings can be transformational leading up to June’s Full Moon.
The Capricorn Full Moon will be occurring on June 24, bringing attention to our structures, systems and legacies. This will highlight our purpose and what foundations we are creating that will withstand the tests of time. You can be challenged with the big questions of where are you not taking yourself seriously enough? Capricorn understands that every small choice adds up to greater rewards! Rather than seeing this Saturnian energy as restrictive, observe it as structural. Release anything that is not serving the bigger picture vision. It’s time to begin to fully show up for yourself and your goals! Have a tunnel vision to see what the next tangible steps are to getting things done.
June is the month of being open to the new while cultivating strong foundations of self. Although this month may bring up heavy emotions within us, it’s the self reflection needed for the next steps! These are the days that are stepping stones to greatness. How can you be curious to who you are becoming while also remaining true to your spirit? Stay present amongst this heady Gemini energy. Use this month to weigh your options and think about the long term result vs instant gratification! Your intuition is your greatest compass in this life. Return to it when you feel disconnected or lost in any way! Treat June as the energetic reassessment you have been desiring this year.
