Lunations and Long-term Aspects

By far the most interesting long-term aspect out there right now is that triple conjunction between Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron.  Interestingly enough, it fit the flu outbreak scare like a glove, right down to the way it just sort of evaporated which is typical when Neptune, master of illusion, is involved.  Since the subject stellium is hanging out in your Sign, I'm sure you have a strong interest in it, especially since by the end of the month all three entities will also be retrograde, meaning they'll be sweeping back and forth over the same degrees a while longer.  Those of you whose Natal Sun lie in range, at least this month, have birthdays between February 12 - 18.  Bear in mind that just because this is hovering around your Natal Sun doesn't necessarily mean anything ominous is going to happen to you. 

Any aspect has a plethora of interpretations and it will play out slightly differently with everyone due to the fact that almost everyone's Natal Chart is unique, unless you were born on exactly the same day in the same place at the same time.  In the most positive manifestation you could see everything you ever wanted come true, healing every dashed hope and expectation you've ever encountered.  Jupiter expands and emphasizes what he touches and Neptune is the planet of dreams, inspiration, enlightenment and spirituality.  The dark side of Neptune is deception, illusion, and unrealistic idealism.  A conjunction is not positive or negative by nature like some aspects but is a simple blending of the planetary energies.  Furthermore, you Sun can over-power and control this energy and direct it where you like.  Thus, this may be the ideal time to pursue something that pertains to your spiritual health or balancing your life so that it measures up closer to what you see as the ideal. 

Aspects to this astrological trio will also color it.  Uranus, planet of sudden change, unexpected events, disruption and rebellion is a semi-sextile away in Pisces, your 2nd house of possessions, pleasures, values, and financial matters.  Uranus is your Sign Ruler, so this energy will harmonize with your own in a familiar way.  This may simply be the catalyst to jump-start whatever personal change you'd like to pursue, though this is a slightly itchy aspect that usually brings an annoyance or nuisance of some description.   Over time, Jupiter will move on, but Neptune is a slow mover and will be in this semi-sextile aspect with Uranus for several months to come.  This fingernails-on-the-chalkboard type of influence will probably deliver a series of annoyances related to your finances, possessions, or needs that will keep you from pursuing your dreams for a time.  Arguing with the planets is ineffective as a rule, so expect a variety of annoyances to get in your way.  This doesn't mean you need to turn into a pessimist, but and it will be slightly less frustrating if you take off the rose-colored glasses.

Also in cahoots with this trio is another conjunction between Mars and Venus which is in effect for the better part of the month and exact between June 21 - 24.  This obvious analogy to male/female relationships will be sextile Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron for the first week of the month, presenting an opportunity of some sort, separates from the stellium for a time, but as it eases into exactness toward the end of the month it will square the stellium.  This potential conflict is taking place in your 4th House of home environment, so is likely to involve your significant other, with finances a close second.  A possible scenario is that you want to take yoga lessons to get in touch with your inner child but your spouse thinks they're too expensive since you just bounced a check that came flying back with a huge amount of penalty charges attached.

The Full Moon this month on June 7 occurs in Sagittarius, your 11th House of groups, organizations, friends, coworkers, hopes and wishes.  This is the zodiacal House that Aquarius rules so is thus an important part of your life.  This implies that something in this part of your life is culminating or shifting to a new phase.  This may come as the result of your own choice, perhaps because of something someone says contrary to your personal beliefs or goals, or other information that simply causes you to make the break.  Positive transformational energy is at work for you regarding your home life, particularly with respect to your significant other, so maybe the two of you or your entire family are simply heading in a different direction.  Restructuring your life due to some changes that resulted in personal transformation is another likely motivator.

The New Moon on June 22 occurs in Cancer, your 6th House of work, health, and pets.  Even as a Full Moon indicates a culmination, a new one implies something coming into your life, in this case related to your work, personal projects, health or small animals.  At that time the New Moon is opposite Pluto, however, who has quietly invaded your 12th House of spirituality, dreams, enlightenment, institutions, and hidden enemies.  This implies that something that was previously unknown or kept hidden will come out and stir things up, thus motivating the change.  This will ultimately be of personal benefit to you, however, since the stellium in your 1st House is in a nice, harmonious trine to the New Moon.  A positive transformation in your relationship with your family due to a restructuring of priorities is another potential benefit.

Short-term Aspects

The month starts out with Venus, who's shedding her blessings on your 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, neighbors, and short journeys, connecting with the Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron trio via sextile.  This should bring some pleasant and beneficial thoughts your way regarding how to use that energy in your 1st House (especially for those of you with birthdays between February 12 - 18.  On June 3rd something or someone related to your home environment will inspire you in some way.  A few days later you may encounter a hindrance that keeps you from pursuing a creative project, doing something with your kids, or going out on a hot date, if the situation applies.  In other words, something you want to do is going to hit a wall due to an obstacle.

Venus enters Taurus, your 4th House, on the 6th and promptly uses her magic wand to mitigate that obstacle, followed the next day by the Full Moon.  On the 8th memories that have been buried for a while will come forward in a positive way, perhaps healing an old family rift at last.  Unexpected news will come your way on the 9th, but make sure you have all the facts before reacting, much less doing anything about it.  Otherwise, a day or two later you may be eating crow.  Mercury moves into Gemini, your 5th House of creativity, self-expression, children, romance, entertainment and speculation, on June 13, opening the gates on information related to all those areas.  If you're the creative type, this is an excellent time to put that clear thinking to work.  Some adjustments to your plan will be required on the 15th as you find out something you'd previously overlooked or of which you were unaware.

On June 17 the Sun will trine that stellium in Aquarius, a nice harmonious aspect that will further infuse your creativity and other pleasantries in your 5th House.  You may not have the resources you need to pursue your influx of ideas, however, but where there's a will there's a way.  The Sun goes into Cancer on the 20th, bringing his light to your 6th House of work, health, pets, and occupation.  On the 21st that Venus/Mars conjunction will be exact, so look for an abundance of female/male energy on the home front with the New Moon the following day, trailing a variety of aspects noted above.  On June 23rd old issues may surface at home that cause an argument or perhaps energize some other issue that's been smoldering for too long.  It will be best to deal with it now and put it to rest once and for all.  Information pertaining to that obstacle related to your creative project, children, or romantic interests is due to arrive on or around the 26th.  Expect a breakthrough sometime in July.

This month will continue to be an interesting one with so much outer-planet energy residing in your 1st House of personality.  This should be an interesting and inspiring time, but making progress in the direction you'd like may not come as quickly as you'd prefer.  Plan some positive activities on the home from, particularly with your significant other, and open up communications there as well as with your children.  Pursuing some creative projects is also favored.  You may change your associations this month, and something new is likely at work.  It's also a favorable time to start a health and fitness program, if you're not on one already.  You're immersed in an interesting period of personal change, so make time for quiet thought and meditation as well.  Maybe it's time to finally sign up for that yoga class.
