Lunations and Long-Term Aspects

This month's New Moon on the 12th occurs in Gemini, your 12th House of woo-woo stuff such as dreams, inspiration, spirituality, institutions, hidden enemies and self-undoing, which will bring something new into your life from one of those areas.  While the 12th House encompasses all those things and more, your view of them are likely to be reasonably logical due to the involvement of Gemini.  The most obvious aspect pattern is a Yod, a.k.a. Finger of God, that comprises Venus in Cancer and Saturn in Virgo at the base and Neptune in Aquarius at the eye.  These aspects look like an arrow on the chart and as such as typically pointing toward something you need to do that might have a measure of fate behind it.  The house and sign placements suggest that you need to take better care of yourself.  Since you're nurturing by nature, you may spend too much time taking care of others instead of yourself.  You need to give some serious thought to your own well-being and take any necessary steps to make sure you take care of yourself as well.  Don't think that doing so is being selfish because the better shape you're in mentally and emotionally the better set you'll be to care for those around you.  In a nutshell, don't run yourself into the ground then wind up so burned out you can't help anyone.

Another interesting aspect in this lunation is a partile (which means in the same degree) conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus in Aries, your 10th House of career, reputation and status.  Both of these outer planets changed signs since the last lunation which will result in a significant change in their energy compared to when the two of them were cruising along in Pisces contemplating their navels, as people tended to do back in the 60s.   Aries, however, is much more action-oriented so between Jupiter's propensity for expansion and exaggeration and Uranus' inclination for surprise events, rebellion, and and breaking away, things could get real interesting.  Remember that "status" in the 10th House context means just about anything that involves a title, label, or is in the public eye.  For example, those things that might show up in the newspaper or as part of the public record, such as obtaining a drivers' or business license, getting married or divorced, getting a promotion or fired, buying your first home, having your first child, etc.  So some big surprises may be coming your way in this part of your life.

Making it even more interesting, Jupiter and Uranus are aspecting several other planets as well, including the base of the Yod, which implies a significant event or occurrence will be what gets your attention with regard to taking care of yourself.  If you've been trying to do too much, particularly for your neighbors or siblings, this could facilitate some adjustments that take everyone by surprise.  Evaluating your close relationships at a deep, probing level is part of this process as well.  While this most likely has the most applicability to your significant other, close friends and family members, remember that relationships in the astrological context also include business partners and those professionals you count on, whether it's your hair stylist, accountant, broker or insurance agent.  If any of them aren't doing the job the way you expect, it's time to move on and find one who will.  If you've been too nice and tolerant, maybe it's time to quit letting people take advantage of you kind nature. 

When a Crab feels walked on that's when those claws come out, which usually doesn't end well for anyone, so bear that in mind, too.  This is a very favorable time for meditation with regard to who and what you really are and want to become, then taking possibly dramatic steps to make sure you're heading in the right direction.  Note that if your birthday is within a few days of July 4, you're even more likely to see some important changes with regard to your life and relationships.

The Full Moon on June 26th is also a Lunar Eclipse, giving it additional power and duration.  It's in your polar sign, Capricorn, so if your birthday is right around June 26 it will be even more influential.  This eclipse is part of the 12 South family in the Saros Series and carries the general theme which, according to eclipse guru, Bernadette Brady, "will bring successful outcomes to long-term worries or illness.  An issue which has worried or drained the individual for some time will at first seem worse and then clear, with successful outcomes."   With the eclipse occurring in your 7th House of relationships, this is likely to relate to someone who resides in that house, as noted earlier.  Thus, things may get slightly worse for a time, but over the long-haul they'll get better.

The aspects with the eclipse are a bit startling with what looks like a T-Square from hell dominating the chart.  The Sun/Moon eclipse pair is involved with the base along with Mercury and Pluto, who's in partile conjunction with the Moon.  This is likely to dredge up a significant amount of old dirt from your past and stir up your thoughts about it.  This is usually a good thing, however, especially with regard to happenings from your childhood.  Consider that when they occurred your reactions to them were from a child's perspective.  As you get older and acquire wisdom and understanding along the way, it's easier to understand why people acted the way they did, making it possible to eradicate old hurts once and for all and allow the cleansing effect of forgiveness to clear the slate.  That Jupiter - Uranus conjunction is at the apex of the T-square, so again, unexpected events are likely to set it all off, but remember that things will get better. 

Responsibilities to your siblings or neighbors are going to play a role in all this and will bring about a change of course for you that will have a transformational effect on how you see the situation.  Expect to be a slightly different person when the dust settles.

Daily and Short-term Aspects

June 4:  Don't take any unnecessary chances today with your well-being, whether physical, emotional or financial.  Delusions regarding the availability of others' resources could lead you astray as well.

June 6:  Jupiter goes into Aries today, so watch for an energy shift with regard to your career, status or reputation.  Jupiter typically brings good luck by expanding our opportunities.

June 7:  Mars enters Virgo, which will energize your thoughts as well as interactions with siblings and neighbors.  It could also incline you to be a bit more aggressive than usual.  Be careful between now and the end of July because the possibility of problems such as arguments or even accidents while commuting or running errands are increased.   Such events are especially strong today, so again, be careful and don't take chances.

June 8:  A major surprise is likely today that will affect your status, reputation or career in some manner.  News or information from a friend or associate may bring additional responsibilities your way, but in a positive manner.  There's always a chance that you will be the one precipitating the surprise event, especially if you're trying to break away from something.  In other words, if you hate your job today may be the day you've finally had enough and quit.

June 9:  If a friend asks for a loan today, make sure you validate their story, though you'd be better off just saying no.

June 10:  Mercury goes into Gemini today, which will help facilitate enlightenment and insights, particularly as they relate to that surprise event from the other day. 

June 11:  All those insights may hit a nerve today and make you want to lash out at someone or something.  Avoid doing or saying anything you may regret later, even if it feels good at the time.

June 12:  New Moon today as described above.

June 14:  Venus goes into Leo, bringing her blessings to your possession, finances, and pleasures.  This is a sweet transit, so enjoy it as much as you can.  It's only in effect until July 11, so exploit it while it lasts.  An unexpected windfall or benefit of some sort is possible as well.  You may even want to indulge in a lottery ticket.  One is all you need, if you're supposed to win that will be it.

June 15:  Pondering certain relationships in your life are likely to be more irritating than usual today.  Your usual tolerance will be low and you'll be more prone than usual to start an argument.  Use all that energy to get to the root of the problem and solve it constructively rather than just getting all riled up and causing a stir.

June 17:  If someone tries to get you to do something you don't want to do, just say no.  If you've been caught up in too much people pleasing lately, now is the time to decide "no more Mr. or Ms. Nice Guy."  Do something nice for yourself instead and make it stick.

June 19:  Your ponderings may bring out something which results in a guilt trip today.  You may also have an acute awareness of the depth of your responsibilities.  This Aha! moment has the potential to have a transformational effect on how you see your daily life.

June 21:  Summer solstice today and the Sun enters your sign.  More surprises are possible, or your need to break away, find more freedom, or pursue something unconventional may arise with a vengeance.  Just try to keep it within the lines.

June 23:  Avoid being over-confident today.  You're likely to be feeling pretty good about yourself but don't get cocky.

June 24:  More dreams or inspiration that relates to your responsibilities are possible.  You may also find out something regarding a neighbor or sibling that indicates they're having problems.  This will be another time when you're seeing things more clearly and will end the day a slightly different person.

June 25:  Mercury goes into Cancer today, which will enhance your ability to communicate, learn, and think clearly.  Just make sure you don't think a little too clearly and express yourself in a way that will cause problems.  More unexpected news is also possible as well as acquiring information that was previously kept hidden, such as a family member's dirty little secrets.

June 26:  Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse today as described above. 

June 27:  Another day when news or information from the past or previously covered up could come along.  You're likely to be in a fairly serious mood today with regard to your obligations.  If you've been taking yourself and others too seriously, now is a good time to change course.
