Overview

Venus/Jupiter: Big Love

Venus in Leo squares Jupiter Rx in Scorpio on June 25th, bringing extravagant expressions of love, big spending and big indulgences. Venus in Leo wants attention and loves the shine of what’s joyous and playful. Jupiter will increase these tendencies, but the tension of the square suggests that more may not be enough. Expectations can grow beyond what’s feasible, resulting in cravings that go over the top. Enjoy what’s on offer, but keep an eye on your limits. 

Mars Retrograde

Mars in Aquarius stations Rx on June 26th. From a previous post:

“…Mars Rx in Aquarius intensifies specific actions so the move towards independence can happen (sometimes it takes extra effort to break away from the past). Or, Mars Rx can delay actions/progress if the impulse is poorly timed. Delays or intensification will depend on how Mars aspects your chart. Mars Rx means progress is put on hold, either way. You have to wait or redo. Progress happens when Mars stations direct. 

In general, Mars in Aquarius is tense, rebellious and stubborn (Aquarius is a Fixed sign). Compromise is non-existent – it must happen, and it must happen your way or their way, no matter what. “

Mars will station direct on August 27th, so consider the time between now and then as a time to rework, pause or try harder on an existing issue.

Capricorn Full Moon

The June 28th Capricorn Full Moon conjoins Saturn Rx, squares Chiron in Aries and trines Uranus in Taurus. Culminations will be strongly Saturn-flavoured: serious, committed, focused and formidable. This will be about a previous rule or limit, and the square to Chiron can make it uncomfortable. But the Uranus trine suggests that the work you put in now will lay the foundation for future progress. 

Mercury in Leo Square Uranus

From June 29th to 30th, Mercury in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus and trines Chiron. Words will be big, bold and shocking- Mercury in Leo grabs attention, and this attention will be based on the unexpected. The trine to Chiron can address any hurts the Full Moon stirred up, as uncompromising words and bold self-expression help you deal with the Chiron wound. Talk about what hurts, even if it ruffles a few feathers. These energies will refer back to June 14th-15th, when Venus in Leo squared Uranus and trined Chiron.  

Uranus (the great disruptor) is triggering earthquakes with its ingress into stubborn Taurus. What’s kept you comfortable (or stagnant) is being shaken. New ways of surviving and thriving are in front of you. 

How might this impact you? I’ve written a 30-page ebook that lays out the transit, house by house. 

Aries

Venus in your sector of self-expression square Jupiter Rx suggests a hot new attraction (with obsessive undertones) or an overwhelming desire to spend/indulge/celebrate. The urge to play/attract will be strong, and for the most part this can be quite enjoyable. However, watch for the urge to push it past the limit. 

Mars Rx in your social sector can see delays with public projects or group activities. You may have to put social efforts on hold, or return to a previous issue. Consider what you’re trying to break away from or how you’re attempting to stand out from the crowd – you may need to recalibrate you efforts or try harder. Too, Mars Rx can see you reconnecting with someone who pushes your buttons or challenges you on a public level. 

The Full Moon in your career sector squares Chiron in your sign, indicating a professional conclusion, ending or result that reminds you of where you feel weakest. You may be returning to a previous professional goal, or you may have to reestablish your authority. Perhaps there’s a fight for respect. Fortunately, you don’t shrink from a challenge- you’re more than ready to tackle this. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression can see you speaking out about what you want, in a creative or romantic area. What you have to say, or what you realize, may rock the boat and grab attention, and the trine to Chiron in your sign will be your ticket to dealing with any sore spots from the Full Moon. Now is not the time to remain silent- own the wound/insecurity and watch how the added attention works for you. This will be a continuation of influences from June 14th-15th. 

Taurus

Job issues/issues with management can be delayed, or you may be pushed to intensify your efforts. 

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities can hi-light a rule/official conclusion involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. This will be a return to a previous official matter, and you may have to refocus your learning/travel/future plans. Hidden doubts will be activated, but the trine to Uranus in your sign says this is all part of the new you – you’re breaking away from old habits and approaching routines in a different way. Even if progress is stalled, know that this is a crucial part of your eventual forward movement. 

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector (including the square to Uranus in your sign) suggest surprising family discussions or domestic news.

These results will be about revisiting a previous rule or restriction – a boundary may need to be reestablished, or you may need to double down if you want to pay something off. Background responsibilities will be connected to public insecurities or comparisons that make you aware of extra work. 

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector can see you speaking out unexpectedly or hearing some news that opens your eyes. Hidden disruptions/clarifications will bring out the truth, and this can be a release for any insecurities/sensitivities involving friends, groups or your connection to the public.

The Full Moon in your sector of routine can hi-light a heavy responsibility, a health issue or extra work. You’ll be revisiting previous responsibilities or limits, in order to correct or improve.

A work or health result can feel quite heavy, drawing your attention to where you can’t go or where you need to pull back.

Too, a health issue may require a second try or revised approach. In general, expect progress in these areas to be slow or non-existent while Mars is Rx – this is not the time to speed ahead. Dig in and focus on what needs fixing.

You’ll find out –  issues around a creative project, new attraction or children/pregnancy will deliver something real, although it may not be a total cause for celebration.

Mars Rx in your hidden sector can see you refocusing your efforts on a dream, ultimate goal or goodbye.
