The Astrology for June 2024

At the end of May, Pluto turned retrograde and so marking a three month period when you begin to focus upon how to let go of what you thought to be absolutely essential to your life when it isn’t. This marks a time of truth as it becomes increasingly more difficult to fool yourself or be dishonest about what you truly seek.

For the first week of June we have Jupiter trine to Pluto with the realisation that you benefit most when you couple your interests with those you most associate with. It brings an urgency and striving to improve the conditions around you and influencing others to do likewise. With Pluto also in minor aspect to Chiron, this marks a time for a more subtle attunement to the universal heart. These are nurturing and devotional energies which are attempting to reach fruition and align with a universal purpose.

For June 1 though, your energies will be somewhat more scattered, hasty and impulsive. But good for mental work when originality will be blossoming but you will need to go back over this as you will have skipped finer points in your haste. A word of caution as well since today thoughtless actions can lead to accidents. However, your attitude will most markedly affect what you are able to achieve. Beneficial forces will also have some action, softening and aligning you.

In this first week we also have Venus in superior conjunction with the Sun bringing much creativity, affection and social feelings to the fore. It also marks the beginning of a new eight year cycle where the seeds of consciousness develop in new ways, where your sense of selfness makes needed and appropriate adjustments.

June 2 brings a heightened sensitivity with Mercury sextile to Neptune. You may experience this as a dawning awareness of the world around you that you haven’t noticed before, while the intangible realities become just as important as grounded or solid reality today. So it is a good time for attuning to your spiritual work where you possess greater clarity and attention for detail. However, it will not pay to force yourself to do anything you truly do not wish to do as the results will show.

On June 4 – 5 Mercury is conjunct to Jupiter, broadening your scope and comprehension whilst limiting your attention for detail. And Mercury then moves into Gemini. In its own sign it marks a couple of weeks of active discussions, a faster pace of life but make sure you acknowledge other peoples’ opinions if you want them to listen to you.

Then on June 6 – 7 both the Sun and Venus make minor aspects with Pluto. There can be sudden upsets or disruptions as misguided actions or words can more easily create obstacles for you. Then we have the New Moon on June 7, in Gemini, where unconscious habit patterns arise in an effort to establish connection between yourself and your environment by assigning intellectual values to ideals and principles in your life.

June 9 brings the Sun and Venus square to Saturn when problems in your relationships surface and demand to be dealt with. What are your duties and responsibilities you feel you owe to others when these are outweighed by your needs for self-gratification? When your energies are low and you are compelled to go and do things and see people you would otherwise prefer not to. This is also not a good time to challenge authority but good for focusing upon where your weaknesses lie giving you the opportunity to gain greater confidence and self-mastery through this inward work.

Between June 8 – 10 Mars and Neptune are semi sextile and so the attraction to resources that become constructive personal assets becomes a focus. With an increased internalised sensitivity you are able to generate greater awareness or if overwhelmed then you may be inclined to fight for these resources with a misplaced sense of entitlement.

On June 10 Mars moves into Taurus which can foster a sense of entitlement as the desire to have possessions and the assuredness of what you want is strengthened. But it also engenders over the next month and a half, a willingness to work to establish and defend your values and have others understand these more clearly. Also with the Moon sextile to the Sun today, albeit but briefly, brings inner and outer equanimity as well as the potential for opportunities arising from unexpected quarters becomes possible.

On June 13, Mercury will be square to Saturn which will be good for heavy mental work whilst you may also experience more difficulties in your communication with others. Where the objective reality of your situation is at odds with your own internal experience. Today it can be a struggle to remain more optimistic and it will be important to recognise that you only possess a part of the picture. There is also a sense of loss and a willingness to relinquish personal desires for the betterment of all. But beware that these lofty spiritual ideals do not leave you too open and too trusting of who you are dealing with.

June 14 marks the First Quarter Moon and so challenges the structure of your daily life as well as patterns of communication. The search for better ways to become more effective occupy your psyche.

On June 15 comes the superior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun when Mercury is on the opposite side of the Sun to us. This marks the end of the previous cycle of Mercury and the beginning of the next cycle. If you get the opportunity and want further clarity on how you have been communicating with others then look back over the past 47 days when Mercury was last retrograde. See if you can notice any patterns in your responses and reflect upon how these have been serving you. Have they allowed you to feel a measure of satisfaction or not; have others understood you and what do you feel stands in the way? How do your ideals get in the way of effectively communicating what you want others to know?

Apart from the restlessness and mental clarity arising today, there are also some minor but important aspects between the Sun and Uranus, Mars and Jupiter. These themes look at the attraction of resources that become constructive personal assets. Where these help to define the differences between yourself and others. So helping you to define your own beliefs and ideals as well as that of your clan which helps you engender these principles.

On June 17 both Venus and Mercury are square to Neptune which can bring misunderstandings and confusion as you are more in touch today with your daydreams and idealisations. It can also be a creative and romantic time. Then on June 18 Mercury and Venus, both conjunct, move into Cancer. This month marks a good space for you to reconsider whether you domestic life is meeting your needs. Does your home need some redecorating? Find some time to do this if the answer is ‘yes’ as it will help you find some peace and contentment.

Then on June 20 the Sun is square to Neptune and so your energies will be at a low ebb. Increased confusion and sensitivity may mark a good time to withdraw as you may not so easily be able to achieve any goals you set yourself today.

The Sun moves into Cancer on June 21 and so for the next month there is a focus upon your personal life and those of your inner circle. It marks a time for deepening your sense of connection to your place and your people. When you discover more of who you are and where you come from. It also marks an opportunity to examine behaviour patterns which are unfulfilling and maybe no longer appropriate to the person you are becoming.

June 22 will be a busy day with the Full Moon in Capricorn. A time of heightened energy where you can accomplish a lot and work hard to establish harmony between your home and your work life; your thoughts and feelings; your conscious and unconscious self. Mercury is sextile to Mars bolstering your confidence and feeling more able to work hard mentally. An extremely busy day. In the background to these aspects are connections between Venus and Jupiter, the Sun and Pluto. These bring certain frustrations with your routine patterns or work schedule, forcing you to look more closely and gain greater insight into your deeper motivations. And as you do this, you are invariably reaching out and connecting with others by understanding yourself better.

June 23 and 24 marks the downtime following this frenetic activity with a crisis in this searching and the subsequent adjustments needed. In doing so you are learning more about how to connect with this group.

On June 27 Mercury is trine to Saturn and strengthens your ability to focus upon serious matters and find resolution in the finer details. With Venus sextile to Mars on June 28 will bring a lightness and so make sure to plan something fun as this is a great day for socialising.

On June 29 is the Third Quarter Moon with Mercury square to Chiron and so the final crisis in your yearning to be wanted and loved for who you are dominates. You may feel more in touch with yourself today and there will be opportunities to view how you have contributed to your own difficulties and what you can do about this.

Then on June 30 Mercury is sextile to Uranus. This day is one filled with excitement and a renewed interest in tackling old problems with a fresh look. It is a valuable time for generating new ideas and ideals. Following this Saturn then moves retrograde where for the next three months you will be remoulding and reshaping your boundaries by reflecting upon your own effectiveness.
