Lunations and Long Term Aspects

This month the Full Moon occurs on June 7th in Sagittarius, your 4th House of home environment. Since the Full Moon typically indicates that something has culminated, you can expect to complete something that relates to your home or the people in it. A culmination isn't necessarily an ending, but could also be the completion of a particular milestone or phase. For example, one of your children may have a birthday that puts them into a new category, such as becoming old enough to start school in the fall or perhaps become a teenager.

The aspects of the other planets that accompany a lunation contribute to its personality just as the planets' positions at your birth contributed to yours. Saturn, who is hanging out in your Sign, is creating a T-Square with the opposed Sun and Moon, which of course is the definition of a Full Moon. Saturn came out of retrograde on May 16 so now the delays should dissipate, allowing you to move forward at last with any personal goals you've been trying to pursue. However, you may find that other things are holding you back now within yourself, such as a lack of emotional commitment. There is also the possibility that someone there on the home front is what's holding you back, either intentionally or otherwise. The good news on that is a trine that connects Pluto with Mars and Venus in Taurus. This will help you plumb the depths of any issues that have been swept under the rug with your significant other and work through your difference, which up until now you may not have recognized.

Unexpected news will bring an opportunity your way, but there will also be some other issues to deal with that may clutter the way. Jupiter, Neptune and the asteroid, Chiron, are in partile (meaning the same degree) conjunction in Aquarius for most of the month. This is your 6th House of work, projects, occupation (such as in what keeps your occupied), and health. This is a rather interesting combination and on the mundane astrology side, which deals with world events, this was largely manifested last month in the form of the swine flu epidemic threat that never quite materialized, at least to the degree expected. Jupiter enlarges and expands upon what he touches and Neptune is the master of illusion.

Illusion in and of itself is not a bad thing unless it is deliberately deceptive in a harmful manner. For example, both photography and motion pictures are ruled by Neptune and both are an illusion whose intent is to represent something that isn't really there other than a piece of paper or a screen. However, we can obtain great enjoyment and inspiration from these media. If you manipulate the image or introduce special effects, it's even less authentic, but again, unless it's being used in a malicious way, it's not a problem. In a nutshell, Jupiter and Neptune paired up together can either yield some major enlightenment or inspiration or perpetrate a big, fat lie.

The presence of Chiron, the wounded healer, makes this even more interesting since Chiron is usually present when we suffer an injury of some kind, whether it be physical, spiritual, mental, or emotional. Rolling this all up to your House of work and health implies that either something very inspiring is in work that will provide a sense of healing or, conversely, that a major deception is being imposed that has the potential to injure you in some way. Thus, be on the lookout and don't believe everything to see, hear or read as it probably won't have all the facts. Since a Full Moon is supposed to represent an ending, perhaps you will simply find out that something you've been worried about isn't true so you can lay it to rest and move on.

The New Moon on June 22 occurs in Cancer, your 11th House of "others" which includes groups, organizations, coworkers, as well as your hopes and wishes. This should bring something new into your life, though this may actually be via dispensing of something that is old and worn out that you need to ditch so you can move on. This influence hails from Pluto, who's opposite this lunation in Capricorn, your 5th House of creativity, ego, children, romance, entertainment, speculation and self-expression. Maybe you've been neglecting this part of your life as a typical Virgo workaholic and it's time you revisited your priorities. Maybe it's time to "get a life". This could also be a time when hidden knowledge comes out. Potential conflicts or challenges related to one or more relationship is out there as well.

That stellium comprising Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron is still in effect as well, so expect whatever it is to linger for a while, whether it's something funny going on at work or perhaps with your health. If you haven't been feeling very well lately, you may have a currently unknown health issue, though with Neptune it could also be an illusion that simply disappears in due time. On the other hand, Neptune rules the flu, so there's no telling.

Short Term Aspects

The daily aspects keep things going and move you toward the major events in a methodical manner that you often don't even recognize unless you take the time to "connect the dots" so to speak. On June 2 Venus will sextile both Neptune and Jupiter which will bring the opportunity to see that work or health situation through slightly different eyes. On the 3rd, Mars will trine Pluto, which will bring some deep introspections into your creative side, children, lovers, etc. that will generate a few new beliefs, inspire you to return to school, take a long trip, or pursue a contract or legal matter. June 5th a responsibility or obligation will come to light that requires your immediate attention followed on the 6th by something new to think about that could point the way to a solution.

The Full Moon comes along on the 7th, then on the 8th your creativity will get a boost from something that relates to either other cultures or someplace far away. An unexpected opportunity regarding a relationship is there for the taking on the 9th, but make sure you understand everything correctly. On the 10th news from either abroad or the legal department will shake something up at work and may give you some insight into what that long-term issue might be, if you don't already know. Mercury, your Sign Ruler, goes into Gemini on the 13th, which will help facilitate communications, which will be rather refreshing after having him spend most of May in retrograde.

A Catch-22 or change of direction regarding your career ambitions, especially if they involve your creativity in some way. will surface on the 15th. These are often annoying, but usually turn to our advantage before we know it. On the 17th the Sun is heating up that Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron stellium in such a way that new developments are highly likely, though a few surprises will come to light as well. The Sun goes into Cancer, your 11th House of groups on the 20th, bringing emphasis to this part of your life. The 21st is a favorable day for male/female discussion, particularly those of a philosophical nature. The New Moon is upon us the following day on the 22nd, with all those aspects noted earlier that will relate to something new coming into your life. On the 26th a big burst of creative energy will strike again in one form or another and could simply be a glimpse into what makes you who and what you are that you'd not been aware of previously. Career challenges in the form of news that is contrary to your personal ambitions will be present as the month draws to a close.

This month is a bit of a mixed bag, though the groups you interact with, home, family and work will all take their fair share of your time and energy this month. Keep your usual sharp and somewhat skeptical eye out for delusions and misperceptions and by all means don't try and take any of them to the bank. Accomplishing anything at work may be a challenge, and there's a possibility of weird and undefined health issues, probably as the result of stress. Get plenty of rest and don't forget to take a break now and then to relax.
