June 2024
RUNE OF THE MONTH: Jera “Harvest”. This month, karma strikes. We are reaping what we have sown. While corruption, laziness, lies, and abuse will not result in happy situations; those who in for a long time demonstrated good will, engaged in hard work, showed discrimination, and had integrity will soar to new heights.

Pluto remains retrograde this whole month till October 11. Its shadow period lasts until February 2, 2025. The degree traveled in June (1º55’-1º24’ Aquarius) is associated in the Sabian Symbols with the following image: “An unexpected thunderstorm”. Old, outmoded patterns cannot survive in the current evolution. The days of those who abused their power, lied, and built their wealth on corruption, are numbered. A glaring light is being cast on the darker, more toxic, destructive aspects of humanity, leading to a necessary explosion. The people will be seen everywhere to rebel in unprecedented ways against oppression.
Mars enters Taurus on 6/8 at 9:35 PM till July 20th. Resilient, persistent, and stubborn actions mark the coming 6 weeks. We may start projects rather slowly but once we get going, cannot be stopped. Driven by practical considerations, our desires are very physical, geared towards money-making ventures and building material solidity.
Saturn turns retrograde on Saturday 6/29 at 12:07 PM till November 15. Its shadow period lasts until February 18, 2025. The degree it turns retrograde on (19º26’ Pisces) is symbolized by: “A table set for an evening meal”. During the next 4 and 1/2 months, our relationship with authority comes into focus. How trustworthy are our governments? How much faith do we place in the laws? How supportive are external structures? The time has come to rely on our inner resources, stand in our personal power, and become the masters of our own destiny.

Sunday 6/2: Jupiter Trine Pluto (5:13 PM), Mercury Sextile Neptune (8:57 PM)
Cheerful optimism, tolerance, self-confidence, and generosity help expand our philosophical and social horizons. Cooperating for the good of all involved and extending our hospitality, while exercising our discrimination wisely elicit the trust of others. A wonderful day for artists who are particularly inspired. Our psychic abilities are enhanced and our imagination, intensified.
Monday 6/3: Mercury enters Gemini (12:37 AM) till 6/17, Mercury Trine Pluto (11:12 PM)
During the next 2 weeks, our curiosity and need to communicate are intensified. Short trips, social mixers, learning, teaching, and writing are all favored. Our mind is sharp. However, eager to learn a little bit about everything, we could get easily distracted, be somewhat scattered and superficial. Today, more specifically, we X-ray situations and people and should be particularly careful in our use of language as our words have the potential to profoundly influence others. We could take a keen interest in community affairs and propose some much needed reforms.
Tuesday 6/4: Mercury Conjunct Jupiter (3:23 AM), Sun Conjunct Venus (8:32 AM)
Goodwill abounds. Social events are elegant. Fundraisers are favored. Our interactions with others are positive and pleasant. We express ourselves with warmth, generosity, and optimism. A great day to travel or plan a long-distance trip. Our self-confidence, trust in life, and faith in others attract many beneficial opportunities.
Saturday 6/8: Venus Square Saturn (1:25 AM), Mars enters Taurus (9:35 PM) till July 20th
Today, more specifically, our emotional environment could be colder than usual. Single people could feel their solitude more keenly, while couples could experience strain and frustrations. Relationships feel more like work than fun. We are required to be very honest with ourselves and realistic in our expectations. During the next 6 weeks, our actions are guided by common sense. We are grounded, solid, and sensual. We seek financial security and good investments. We may demonstrate a certain stubbornness in our self-expression. Our staying power is strong. No matter the obstacles, we keep moving along with consistency and determination.
Sunday 6/9: Sun Square Saturn (3:36 AM)
Work is likely to be demanding. Our responsibilities seem heavier than usual. The efforts required are both challenging and time consuming. We are likely to feel keenly the lack of support, but with discipline, organization, focus, and persistence, can get through our workload on our own, and fulfill our obligations.
Tuesday 6/11: Mars Square Pluto (6:21 AM)
Today, manipulations, jealousies, rebellion, even hostilities could create much stress and prove quite destructive. Facing courageously the issues at hand with self-confidence and a sense of responsibility helps us clear the air and establish more honest relationships with others.
Wednesday 6/12: Mercury Square Saturn (3:47 AM)
We may feel rather pessimistic, depressed, tired, and discouraged. Our friends are neither particularly helpful nor supportive. Best to stay quiet and immerse ourselves in work that doesn’t require any imagination. Despite our responsibilities feeling heavy and our focus on details slowing us down, we can still make some valuable progress.
Friday 6/14: Sun Conjunct Mercury (9:33 AM)
A good day for communications. Excellent for writing e-mails, making phone calls, buying, selling, and trading. Perfect also for small trips, setting goals, a social gathering, and trying something new.
Sunday 6/16: Venus Square Neptune (8:46 PM), Venus enters Cancer (11:20 PM) till July 11
Our sensitivity is enhanced, making us vulnerable. Feelings could be blurred by lies, deceit, and evasiveness. We should beware of relationships that seem too good to be true. An apparent soul connection could dissolve into a much less desirable situation laden with drama and confusion. We should also be careful to not fall prey to frauds or financial scams. During the next 3 weeks, our feelings are geared towards home, family, and security. We are likely to be more caring, nurturing, and emotional. Attracted to cooking and good food, we enjoy entertaining and are inspired by a childlike approach to life.
Monday 6/17: Mercury Square Neptune (12:41 AM), Mercury enters Cancer (2:07 AM) till July 2nd, Mercury Conjunct Venus (5:43 AM)
Our mind is imaginative, sensitive, and inspired. We could however get lost in daydreaming and pay little attention to factual details. Not a good day to sign legally binding documents as we could miss much of the small print. Our social contacts are easy and pleasant. Great for gathering with friends and attending a nice event. During the next 2 weeks, artists are favored, as are those working with women and children. Our thoughts are focused on family, food, improving the comfort of our home, children, and safety.
Thursday 6/20: Sun Square Neptune (11:12 AM), the Sun enters Cancer (1:51 PM) till July 22
Prone to lethargy, today, we could feel rather dreamy, indecisive, and impractical. We are advised to stay away from promotional schemes and shady interactions. During the next 2 weeks, issues around home, family, food, security, comfort, and children all come into focus. We could feel more nurturing, caring, and sensitive than usual.
Friday 6/21: Mercury Sextile Mars (9:23 AM)
Communications are clear, dynamic, and to the point. Words and thoughts lead to decisive actions. Our judgement is sound. We mean what we say and call a spade a spade. A good day to sign contracts or get repairs done.
Wednesday 6/26: Mercury Trine Saturn (11:10 AM)
A wonderful day to map our progress, make plans, focus on our long-term goals, and work diligently towards our ambitions. We seek useful information that we can apply in a practical manner. Discipline, groundedness, efficiency, and structure enable us to clear our desk of backlogged work.
Friday 6/28: Venus Sextile Mars (9:49 PM)
Peaceful, easygoing, light social contacts are pleasant. We strike a good balance between the masculine and feminine sides of ourselves. A favorable day for a date, decorating our home, and/or beautifying ourselves.
Saturday 6/29: Saturn turns retrograde (12:07 PM) until February 18, 2025, Mercury Sextile Uranus (7:20 PM)
Regarding Saturn retrograde for the next 8 months, kindly refer to the opening paragraph. Today, more specifically, should be the stage of unexpected twists and turns. Our plans are likely to be disrupted. Eccentric characters show up. People we hadn’t seen in a long time re-enter our life. Inventive, futuristic, unusual ideas redirect our path. The more present to the present, flexible, and open we are, the more exciting and inspiring this day will prove to be.
Wishing you a wonderful month of June!
In Loving Light.
