Monday, is a huge day (astrologically speaking)! The Moon remains in deeply passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 10:56am EDT. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us now; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as 100% dishonest.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us.
This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday morning, a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (June 10th).
This aspect encourages us to stretch, grow, and mature. It’s important to be mindful of misunderstandings and rigid thinking, both in our interactions with others and in our inner dialogue. During this period, we may feel somewhat somber or serious.
On one hand, Mercury in Cancer encourages us to be attuned to our surroundings and to listen more sensitively when receiving information. We might find it challenging to maintain objectivity, as our emotions are likely to influence our interactions. We tend to gravitate toward what feels familiar or reflects our past experiences.
On the other hand, Saturn in Aries reminds us that to pursue new endeavors, we need to ensure that our actions align with our personal goals. This may require us to eliminate anything that distracts us from our passions. Achieving this alignment will require us to slow down and focus on ourselves.
Ask yourself: Am I truly interested in building long-term connections with others? What is the worst that could happen if I chose “quick” over “quality”?
Am I truly focused on myself? Or is my mind getting lost in emotional content (or the past?)
Find creative ways to connect and share with others from a vulnerable place, while staying committed to pursuing your passion goals in a mature, self-responsible, and determined manner.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-1 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or 28-29 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.
This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).
Monday at 8:06am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 3 hours, until 10:56am EDT. Use this intuitive time to examine your relationship to money, power, and resources (personal and shared).
Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others against my wish to honor my values and desire for freedom?
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time.
Monday at 10:56am EDT, the Moon will move into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening (June 11th). We're strongly motivated to explore and learn.
We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — and we’re also physically restless and must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:20pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday morning (June 11th). The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.
Venus represents our relationships (including the one with ourselves) and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations.
This aspect could also challenge us to find meaning in our lives through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.
You may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: as best you can, empower rather than disempower.
We may become obsessed with our social networks or affiliations or our finances during this time.
We may also experience Pluto through our partner or social interactions in the form of manipulation or controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto negative attachments.
It’s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can you grow and evolve in your relationships? Is there a relationship that you need to grow and evolve out of? This could also include your relationship to money or social affiliations.
This aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs — don’t start a relationship with “just anyone”, in order to avoid being alone.
Remember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love, and a genuine desire for intimacy — and work on being worth finding in the meantime …
As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Remember: “fear” is resistance to life, “love” is acceptance and openness towards life.
Stay flexible and open-minded, nurture yourself, and make sure you have everything you need to come from a place of inner strength & empowerment.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-7 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio, or Leo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Monday at 5:02pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from versatile, fast-thinking Gemini to nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It journeys through this protective, vulnerable Water sign until June 29th, 2026.
Jupiter takes about 12 years to move through the twelve signs of the Zodiac, spending roughly a year in each sign. Fittingly, the giant planet represents the principle of expansion; you could say it operates like a magnifying glass.
Jupiter in Cancer brings this magnifying lens to bear on emotional safety, home, and family. We can leverage Jupiter’s enthusiasm to create a home that feels both expansive and comfortable.
This one-year transit also fosters improved self-care and steadily brings that energy to the people we love. It also supports our belief that we can “expand” familiar connections.
With Jupiter in Cancer until June 29th, 2026, we attract good fortune when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable with others and put them at ease by nurturing them and ourselves — and also when we engage with the familiar,
There is much support here for furthering our journey toward emotional health; the key is to adopt a new perspective on what lies behind us, especially those messages we adopted uncritically as children (for example, notions about “safe” and “dangerous” that we absorbed from caregivers and society).
We value what feels emotionally familiar and safe. We can grow and succeed by making our home our haven and connecting with those who feel like family.
All this is especially true if you are a Sagittarius or Cancer Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Sagittarius, you will feel a greater need to connect to loved ones and feel at home wherever you are.
As a Cancer, you are likely to feel a heightened sense of possibility, along with a strong need to grow and expand your emotional connections with others. This growth will guide how much you connect to what's important for you between now and June 2026.
Where does Jupiter-in-Cancer fall in your own birth chart? What aspects does it make during this transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next?
What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and June 2026? Where are you ready to experience more fulfilling connections and a sense of emotional safety with others?
The webinar is titled: “Optimism & Generosity with Loved Ones — An Exploration of Jupiter in Cancer“.
Monday evening, a challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:54pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday morning (June 11th).
This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow. We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now. Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.
We are also more imaginative now and easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence, but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical. What might a creative or intuitive approach look like right now?
Please know that it can be hard to follow routines. Likewise, concentrating on monotonous tasks and work or studies involving attention to detail or rote learning may also be challenging. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 3.5 days.
Ask yourself: What do I feel and perceive when I go beyond all stories, all assumptions, and all meaning?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or 29 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.
This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
