June 2021

The solar eclipse on June 10 is a mobilizing influence for all things Gemini related (talks, plans, projects, paperwork, commerce, transportation modes, information gathering, social and physical activity, etc.). You can feel a sense of heading onto a next page or fresh chapter, especially so if your birthday falls on or near April 9, 10. This eclipse is accompanied by several notable transits. Most importantly, Mercury is at the midpoint peak of its retrograde cycle (conjunct the sun). Ceres/Uranus (conjunction) infuses new life into the moment. The eclipse is square Neptune, suggesting more is on brew than is evident. All the above dial up the karmic potency of circumstances in play. These transits put an added spotlight on someone of significance to you (i.e., a friend, colleague, sibling, neighbour). Watch for things to unfold over the several days that follow. June 11 to 14 hold a string of significant transits, most notably, Mars into Leo, sun/Neptune (square), and the second installment of Saturn’s square to Uranus (a key transit that dictates the whole year).

June 20 to 26, the stars rearrange the game-board. In addition to the kick-off with the summer solstice on June 20 (sun’s entrance into Cancer), the week warehouse several planetary transitions: Jupiter stations retrograde on June 20. Mercury ends retrograde on June 22. Neptune stations retrograde on June 25. Venus enters Leo on June 26. Take it one step at time, go by feel.

Mars/Pluto is a push come to shove aspect. You may have something tough stuff to face. Mercury/Neptune can expose, reveal, or unleash more than you knew was there to begin with. June 10 to 14 can set the reality into play in some no turning back way. It could be through a conversation, a piece of news, a want ad, or some such. One way or another, one thing after another; it is a time to get yourself up and running, to set next steps into motion. If you haven’t quite figured it out yet, watch for circumstances to provide you with a better sense of direction.

Mars enters Leo on June 11; Venus enters Leo on June 26. Both transits can boost confidence, creativity, or a sense of “I deserve”. Both set a backdrop for an improved base of operations. June 20 – 26, three planets change direction and two change signs. Here is the list: Summer solstice/sun into Cancer and Jupiter in Pisces stations retrograde June 20, Mercury in Gemini ends retrograde June 22, Neptune in Pisces stations retrograde June 25, Venus enters Leo June 26. The week can redirect plans or make for added guesswork. Take your cue from the moment.

June 5, something you thought was a done deal could get triggered, perhaps suddenly or unexpectedly so. Noting that Mercury in Gemini continues in retrograde through June 22, you can find yourself on another go around, revisiting a conversation, etc. When Mercury is retrograde in your sign, it is a good time for a regroup or rethink. You can find yourself more introspective and intuitively aware.

If your birthday is on or near it, the solar eclipse in Gemini on June 10 can be particularly notable, event generating, or trend setting, perhaps in some exceptional way. It could be via a conversation, a piece of news, or a revisit of some sort. Watch for someone or something to launch a fresh wind. The eclipse is also a catalyst for health, social, economic, and political trends too.  Aligned with the peak of Mercury’s retrograde cycle, the solar eclipse can be a significant tide turning or page turning influence. Eclipses are important karmic catalysts. Things happen for a reason! Someone or something can burst onto the scene with a great life force. The eclipse is followed by Mars into Leo (June 11), sun/Neptune (June 13) and the second installment of Saturn/Uranus (June 14, square aspect) to mention a few! Saturn (now retrograde) and Uranus are the dominant influence for the entire year. They place us at the intersection of moving past the past and getting on board with the future.

June 20 to 26 is another week to watch. The end of the school semester is well timed. You will really feel the transition into a new season. The start of Jupiter retrograde coincides with the summer solstice June 20. Mercury ends retrograde on June 22, but it will not leave Gemini until July 11. Mercury gives you an extension of time to get yourself up and rolling. Neptune stations retrograde on June 25. Venus enters Leo on June 26. Play it either way – it’s a week time to put it on chill, or to jump on the trend and explore a fresh potential.

June 10 delivers a solar eclipse in Gemini. The eclipse is accompanied by several notable transits. Ceres/Uranus infuses all fresh starts, undertakings, potentials, or new trends with strong and substantial wings. Mercury is at the peak of its retrograde cycle. Watch for news, a conversation, something you read, hear, see or revisit to get the ball rolling in some notable way. Someone could act as a catalyst or messenger. Despite Mercury retrograde, this eclipse favours moving and/or launching a new venture. Know that an eclipse holds potency over a duration of time. If it doesn’t prompt a change now, it will soon! You may have to work your way though several stages, phases, or hoops before you get yourself fully repositioned. The rest of the year is set up to help you do just that. Keep exploring, stay hopeful.

Mars enters Leo on June 11. This creative enterprise transit helps you to make better use of the resources you have. Mars in Leo can help you to discover new capacities, talents, or money-making sources. The transit can brighten your mood, hopefulness, or confidence, and/or help you to gain better reward. June 13, sun squares Neptune. June 14, Saturn meets with Uranus for the second of three threshold crossing alignments. It can play out for you in subtle or obvious ways. The past is on a receding track; the future is on a gaining track.

Opening with the summer solstice and the start of Jupiter retrograde, June 20 to 26 sets up a transition week. Mercury ends retrograde on June 22. Neptune stations retrograde on June 25. Venus enters Leo on June 26. Roadblocks are moving out of the way and/or clearing up. You should start to feel that you are navigating your way perhaps even better than you envisioned.

The solar eclipse on June 10 is accompanied by several notable additions. Lighting a fresh spark, Ceres/Uranus can springboard something lucrative, beneficial, or enhancing. Mercury reaches the midpoint of its retrograde cycle (conjunct the eclipse sun). This transit ads an extra kick to the karmic nature of communications, circumstances, social interaction, potentials, and trends. A revitalizing transit, Mars enters Leo on June 11 (to stay through July 29). This is a “catch the wave” eclipse will be significant for you if it makes direct contact to your natal chart. Otherwise you’ll see it play out in indirect ways. Eclipses always hold an element of the unexpected. The eclipse is square Neptune, so know more is on brew than is readily visible. June 13, sun/Neptune can reveal or undercover more regarding the potential. June 14, Saturn (currently retrograde) meets Uranus for the second time this year. It can bring a switch track feel, like you are gaining better ground for yourself and regarding the reinvention process. Saturn retrograde moves restrictions out of the way. Hopefully, this second installment of Saturn/Uranus keeps us on the positive upswing regarding the pandemic battle too.

Coinciding with the end of the school semester and the start of summer, the week of June 20 to 26 the stars shift the momentum again. Here’s the line up: June 20, summer solstice (sun enters Cancer), Jupiter in Pisces begins retrograde; June 22, Mercury in Gemini ends retrograde; June 25, Neptune in Pisces starts retrograde; June 26, Venus enters Leo.  The week can reroute your attention. It is a good one for enjoying more of life’s simple pleasures.

An eclipse sets a karmic potency cycle into play. Watch the trends, ride the good wave! This eclipse is opportune for all matters to do with getting the message across to a wider audience, for writing projects, studies, teaching or other presentations, legal matters, paperwork reports or filings, permits, etc. It’s also an auspicious time to sign on with an agent, teacher, counselor, or advisor, (or perhaps to change one). As is typical of Mercury retrograde, you could reconnect with someone you haven’t heard from in awhile, perhaps someone who lives a distance away. A sense of instant recognition is your clue to a past life recall. Watch for news or an announcement. Lastly, the eclipse favours speculative interests (stock market investments, etc.).

You can feel a sense of being let off the hook. Or the transit can force you to let go of an expectation or something you have considered as important. Also, on June 5, Mercury meets with Neptune for the second of three meetings spanning pre and post the retrograde cycle.  This transit can soften or diffuse the Mars/Pluto intensity. Perhaps you’ll simply find the time to relax and unwind. On another note, Mercury/Neptune continues to keep potentials on brew, but uncertainty too.

While it is usually unwise to sign a contract during Mercury retrograde, the eclipse is the exception to the rule. That’s because Mercury is at the midpoint peak of its retrograde cycle and starting a new creative track with the sun. Proceed with confidence, but also stay open ended, allow ample margin to incorporate add-ons or changes, be prepared for circumstances to evolve and to take on a life of their own.
