June's Cosmic Forecast: Paths of Opportunity
Gemini Season
We can feel the summer season on the horizon, as we enter the halfway point of 2022! June is a month of joy, happiness, and fertility. It is connected to the number 6, the number of universal love, beauty, balance, and harmony. June is the summoning of celebratory energy, gathering, and socialization. This month allows us to open up to energy warmly, and to try something new! Gemini season is the perfect time to stretch our wings and allow ourselves to expand! This is a mutable air sign, flexible, curious, leaving no stone unturned. Gemini loves to question the social norm, challenge our thought processes, and encourages us to think outside of the box. Represented by the twins, this sign embodies the duality of the light and shadow, the masculine and feminine, the goodness of life and the hardness. Ruled by Mercury, this season encourages us to socialize and connect with others! Speaking our truths unapologetically without shame will be encouraged during this time. Stay true to yourself and don’t fold to fit into other’s expectations!

The Gemini actress battled many darknesses during her life, and was a controversial figure to many despite her sex appeal.

Mercury Stations Direct June 3rd
On June 3rd, our planet of communication, Mercury, will station direct! During last month’s Mercury Retrograde, we may have experienced a lot of miscommunication, emotional frustrations, and technological complications. When Mercury stations direct, we can breathe easy as things should feel more in flow. Mercury will go direct in Taurus, our sign of foundations, material matter, and finances. If you’ve been experiencing difficulties when it comes to money, getting started on projects, or feeling a work blockage, it can finally feel like you are headed in the right direction! Use this grounding energy to continue establishing your roots. With Mercury direct, you can feel stronger in yourself and more determined than ever!

June 4th, Saturn Retrograde

When Saturn Retrogrades occur, we will experience a re-evaluation of how we take care of our communities as a whole. Aquarius believes no one should be left behind, and wants to dismantle any systems that oppress others. We can see more of our political systems being broken apart for the collective good. This transit forces us to see the ugly truth of the state of our world today. It can feel as though we are undergoing a massive and grueling shift into a new existence. This is all for the better, as the Saturn in Aquarius retrograde is all about revolutionary change for a better cause!
