Lunations and Long-term Aspects

This month the Full Moon falls on June 7 in Sagittarius, your 10th House of career and reputation. This lunations brings along some interesting aspects that will color its effects in what could be an interesting way. First of all, Uranus is still hanging out in your Sign and forming a sextile with Mercury over there in Taurus, your 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, and neighbors. This could generate some innovative solutions to anything you've been working on lately and likewise present an opportunity to advance them in some way. Also in effect is a triple conjunction in Aquarius, your 12th House of inspiration, dreams, transcendence, institutions, confinement, and hidden enemies. This is obviously quite a mixed bag as houses go, but one you should feel quite comfortable in since Pisces rules the Zodiacal 12th House.

That triple conjunction involves a stellium that comprises Jupiter, Neptune, and the asteroid, Chiron. It's hard to tell how this unusual combination will manifest. Conjunctions are a powerful blending of energies that aren't necessarily positive or negative, so it would go either way. There is the potential to generate a few annoyances since they're in an itchy aspect known as a semi-sextile with Uranus, planet of surprises, disruptions, rebellion, and the unexpected, and also in a square, which typically brings a conflict or challenge of some sort, with Mercury which could mean you'll receive some news that relates to that interesting cluster where all three entities are in the same degree. All of them move quite slowly so it will be strong enough to be felt for quite a while, i.e. most of the summer.

Of course the real question is what effect with the three of them generate? Jupiter often stirs things up that relate to ethics, especially when retrograde, which will occur on June 15. Other than that when part of a conjunction his effect is likely to simply magnify the others. Neptune, your Sign Ruler, is all about illusions. These in and of themselves are not inherent good or bad, but can cut both ways. For example, both photography and the cinema are prime examples of illusions. What you see isn't real, it only appears to be, but whether it's good or bad depends entirely on the content and its affect on the viewer. Throw in a few special effects and the illusions is even more unreal, but again, not good or bad unless it's used to deceive in a malicious way. By far the most interesting participant is Chiron, the wounded healer. In your birth chart, Chiron indicates an area in your life where you're encounter wounds or injuries that never heal, whether they're physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or even financial, and also depending on the sign and house. The principle of Chiron is that you will then take what you have learned from that experience and use it to assist others who are similarly affected. Thus, Chiron in transit can indicate either the infliction of a wound or the act of helping others.

The flu pandemic scare back in May was very much represented by this aspect. Neptune not only rules illusions but the flu as well; Jupiter made it a concern of worldwide proportion and the potential to injure was obvious. Nonetheless, it did simply dissipate before reaching the extent that everyone feared; however, some speculate that it will return in the fall or winter and considering that all three will be retrograde by the end of this month, they'll regroup in December and January and could thus definitely manifest in that way.

Since these are hanging out in your 12th House there's no telling how they could influence you. If your birthday is around March 17 it will have more punch for you since your Sun is at the same degree as Uranus and also semi-sextile this mysterious stellium. It has the potential for some amazing inspiration and healing or conversely a major deception. Whatever it is, it may not be real so make sure you investigate it thoroughly before taking it to the bank.

The Full Moon by definition is an opposition between the Sun and Moon and Saturn is forming a T-square with them as well. Saturn came out of retrograde in May, thank heavens, so at least we're no longer stuck in reverse. Saturn is in Virgo, your 7th House of relationships, so the implication is that you have some work to do in that area of your life. Remember that these comprise not only your significant other but any one-on-one interactions with such folks as close friends and associates, business partners, and if you're in business for yourself, your clientele. Something was brewing during that retrograde period that lasted from New Years Eve until May 16 and now it's time to take charge and take care of business. Since a Full Moon indicates a culmination of some sort which may be an ending or can just as likely be the ending of a certain phase, whatever needs to be restructured in one or more relationships is vying for attention.

Also in force is a trine between Pluto in your 11th House of groups, organizations, and hopes and wishes with Mars and Venus who are also in Taurus with Mercury. This aspect is of a generally positive nature, or at least as positive as it can get when Pluto and Mars are involved. This could rectify some old problems that will clear the path for future success. If you've been holding yourself back in any way, this will help you to get it resolved.

The New Moon on June 22 is in Cancer, your 5th House of creativity, ego expression, entertainment, children, romance, and speculation. If your birthday is within a few days of February 19 this should bring something new and positive into your life in this area. A New Moon is by definition a conjunction between the Sun and Moon and this one is opposite Pluto. That puts a bit of mystery into it, but implies that for Pisces at least, especially those born around that time, that there will be a significant opportunity to take care of some old business that has been holding you back for too long. The stellium noted for the Full Moon is still in effect, so that is still something to contend with. Mars and Venus are in close conjunction for the New Moon, still in your 3rd House, which should turn your thoughts to romance, either with another person or perhaps with your bank account, but considering that the New Moon may bring someone new into your life, this certainly has interesting implications. Saturn is trining the Mars/Venus pair, indicating that assuming another level of responsibility in or to a relationship is likely as well. In other words, it might be someone new or it might be a new phase for an existing relationship.

Short-term Aspects

The aspects begin on the 2nd with Venus in sextile with Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron. If you've been having some financial challenges lately (and just about everyone has) then this promises to bring an opportunity in that area. Expect some inspiration to come your way or perhaps a stroke of luck, but remember with Neptune in the mix that it might be illusion, so look for cold, hard evidence before taking any important actions. On the 3rd Mars trines Pluto which will be a favorable time to think about past associations that involved a group of some sort or perhaps your hopes and wishes, particularly if there is anything in your past that warrants such ruminations. On the 5th the Sun squares Saturn, which will highlight a relationship that is either within your home environment or perhaps not living with you but affecting your home in some way. Expect something to come up of a challenging nature at that time. The Sun is transiting Gemini, your 4th House of home environment, until the 20th so expect an emphasis in that part of your life during that time.

On the 9th some innovative ideas that include an opportunity will be rumbling around inside your head, but at that same time Mercury is also squaring Neptune, so make sure it's feasible and not a pipe dream. Mercury squares Jupiter on the 10th, so expect something to come up that you have to deal with in some way, though it might simply be on the mental plane. Mercury goes into Gemini on the 13th, which will facilitate communications at home. On the 15th a Catch 22 that relates to both home and your group associations or perhaps some hopes for the future will come along, so be ready to make some adjustments. On the 17th some inspiration related to the home front is yours, but there might be something about it that you don't really like for some reason. An unexpected disruption at home is also possible. Nonetheless, improving the general tone of your family life is a possibility. On the 20th the Sun goes into Cancer, your 5th House of children, romance, speculation, entertainment, ego expression and so forth, so expect the emphasis to shift to this area of your life into July.

Venus is conjunct Mars on the 21st, so this is an excellent day for romance or getting something accomplished with the opposite sex. The New Moon comes along on the next day, the effects of which are described above. On the 23rd the Sun opposes Pluto, which will institute a tug-o-war between you and one of your group associations. This may involve a power struggle of some sort. Considering that Mars and Pluto will be in aspect during that same time, you'll be inclined to express your opinion and ideas in a very forceful manner. Make sure that this is appropriate and to your advantage before getting too fired up. On the 26th Mercury will square Saturn, which indicates a clash of some description at home regarding a relationship.

This should be an interesting month during which you'll enjoy a lot of inspiration and mental excursions, which are a requirement for Pisces; being too firmly rooted in reality can really tie you down. However, don't go off counting on anything that doesn't have reality backing it up. Enjoy your fantasies and imagination for what it is, but no more. Otherwise you may line yourself up for some disappointment later.
