JUNE 2022
RUNE OF THE MONTH: Isa, “ice”. We should proceed with caution and care this month, pay attention to signs and messages, move steadily, and make sure we are focused, grounded in discipline, and can react quickly if needed. Being still and quiet, listening to our surroundings, paying attention to small details is important. Spending quality time in Nature proves particularly soothing to our soul.

Pluto remains retrograde until October 8. Its shadow period remains until January 30, 2023. The degree traveled in June (28º36’-28º23’ Capricorn) is represented in the Sabian Symbols by the following image: “A woman reading tea leaves”. It is always very tempting to want to know what is coming. Yet, we should remember that Pluto retrograde invites us to look at ourselves in depth, diving into those areas we are not overly proud of, may even feel embarrassed about. Our future is defined by our present. The more we face our shadows and become as transparent as possible, the greater what is to come, will be.
Mercury turns direct on June 3rd at 4º51’ Gemini. Its shadow period continues until June 19. This degree is symbolized by: “A revolutionary magazine asking for action”. Mercury retrograde in its own sign has created during the past 3 weeks a lot of turbulence, changes of heart, lost objects, misunderstandings, and mixed messages. The good news is that it also helped us redefine ourselves, re-think many aspects of our lives, and out of the chaos, create new order. Now the time has come to move forward with a completely different dynamic. Through radical shifts, we are being propelled into our true destiny.
Saturn turns retrograde on June 4th and will remain so until October 22nd. Its shadow periods extends until January 27, 2023. The degree traveled in June (25º15’-25º45’ Aquarius) is represented by the following image: “A garage man testing a car’s battery with a hydrometer”. Saturn retrograde always requires of us to take a closer look at the structures in our lives, redefine our social status, be clear on our ambitions, work hard towards what we want, and honor duty. We can only reach our goals if our lives are in order and this month, this should be our focus.
Neptune turns retrograde on June 28th at 25º27’ Pisces until December 3rd with a shadow period remaining until March 25, 2023. This degree is symbolized by: “Watching the very thin Moon crescent appearing at sunset, different people realize that the time has come to go ahead with their different projects”. Neptune retrograde in its own sign has created a big smoke screen of fake news, false information appearing real, and purposely created confusion. Yet, the lies have become so unbelievably big that many are gradually waking up from their slumber and moving forward in alignment with their own truth. This transit invites us to give less power to the stories passing as “news” and to decide for ourselves what reality we wish to create and live in.

This month’s intentional meditation starts on Tuesday 6/14. Let us take out as many blank sheets of paper as we have intentions and place them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they basked in the light of the Full Moon in Sagittarius at exactly 4:52 AM. Once that moment passes, let us gather our Full Moon charged blank sheets and place them in a folder.
On Tuesday 6/28 on the New Moon in Cancer, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 4:53 AM. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….

Friday 6/10: Mercury Trine Pluto (2:21 PM)
Today, our deep insights into people and situations enable us to get to the point and be quite persuasive. Compromise helps us win our point and enlist the support of those who can further our goals.
Saturday 6/11: Venus Conjunct Uranus (3:58 PM)
Today, our social life is exciting. We meet unusual people who walk to the sound of their own drummer. It is essential that we balance intimacy and freedom, love and friendship. Too much closeness and we could suffocate. Too much independence and we could wonder if we even have a relationship. Remaining ourselves while being with another ensures an interesting, lasting connection. We could be pleasantly surprised by an unexpected financial windfall.
Monday 6/13: Mercury enters Gemini (8:27 AM) till July 4
During the next 3 weeks, our mind is particularly active. We are able to multi-task, are more sociable and curious than usual, are interested in learning and communicating, and may be a little restless. Short trips are favored, so are phone calls, e-mails, texts, and any form of intellectual connection.
Thursday 6/16: Sun Trine Saturn (12:13 AM), Sun Square Neptune (6:41 AM)
Today favors structure, hard work, discipline, and focus. However the call of duty feels tedious, limiting, and boring. We would rather follow our heart and daydream, get lost in imagination, watch an inspiring movie, or read a nice novel. We should stay away from scammers, liars, and people in general who are not all they seem to be.
Saturday 6/18: Venus Square Saturn (2:32 PM), Venus Sextile Neptune (9:06 PM)
A relationship may feel like an enchanted soul connection yet could come enveloped in a fog of deceit. We could end up feeling discouraged, disillusioned, and lonelier than ever. Not a good day to follow dreams, but to look very realistically at our relationship needs and expectations. We may have to work harder for the money we earn, and be careful not to dilapidate our finances in foolish ways.
Monday 6/20: Mercury Sextile Jupiter (12:44 AM)
Our self-confidence, enthusiasm, faith in life, and adventurousness open many positive doors today. Excellent for traveling or planning a long-distance trip, meeting people who broaden our cultural and spiritual horizons, learning a foreign language, or expanding our education with a university level training.
Tuesday 6/21: Venus Trine Pluto (1:23 AM), the Sun enters Cancer (2:14 AM) till July 22
We seek passion in our relationships, as well as a deep soul connection. During the coming month, we are likely to enjoy harmonious relationships with family members. Having a nurturing domestic base feels important. We may want to renovate, redecorate our home, make it safe, peaceful, and cozy, a place where we are happy to invite our friends over for a meal or just pleasant exchanges. Our financial sixth sense, fueled by our need for security, is particularly developed.
Wednesday 6/22: Venus enters Gemini (5:34 PM) till July 17
During the coming month, we favor friendship. We are excited to expand our social horizons and integrate people from different walks of life, religion, or culture. Our aesthetic tastes are eclectic. We are drawn to more modern art forms.
Monday 6/27: Mars Sextile Saturn (3:29 PM)
Focusing our energy into constructive projects is a good use of this transit. We accept limitations gracefully and make the most of them. We are controlled, practical, and decisive, moving our goals in a positive direction.
Tuesday 6/28: Sun Square Jupiter (5:59 PM), Venus Sextile Jupiter (8:52 PM)
Today, we should be careful to not spend more than we have, nor be overly enthusiastic, or promise more than we can deliver. If we remain grounded and reasonable, we could receive a wonderful flow of financial abundance. Our social life is pleasant and expansive. If unattached, a friendship could become a mutually enriching love affair.
Wishing you a wonderful month of June!
In Loving Light.
