  • Sun opposite Saturn Rx in Sagittarius: 24 degrees

This is about more than limits; it’s the midpoint of Saturn’s Rx transit. There should be an enhanced understanding of why you’re being limited, or what you have to choose, or what responsibilities remain. If Saturn Rx has brought you delays, this aspect should bring you clarity (but not an end to the delays – yet). 

Saturn will station direct on August 25th.

This opposition forms the spine of the Kite I discussed here. There’s opportunity in restriction – Saturn’s limits will provide the structure that allows you to focus the energy of the Grand Fire Trine (made of up Saturn, Uranus in Aries and the Leo North Node). What can you do with Fire? It gives you the courage to create. It says “You can do this.” It implies there’s more to come – something to look forward to. But sometimes you need to focus, first. Sometimes you need defined choices that force you to look in one direction. That’s where you pour all your energy and make use of the Fire potential. 

 

Horoscopes for June 11th to June 18th, 2017

 

Overview

June 15th features an opposition between the Gemini Sun and Saturn Rx in Sagittarius. This is the midpoint of Saturn’s Rx transit (which began on April 6th). Watch for an increased understanding of limits, rules, delays, and incomplete responsibilities. The Sun goes on to sextile the Leo North Node/trine the Aquarius South Node (June 16th) and will sextile Uranus in Aries (with Pallas close by) on June 18th. Also on June 18th, Mercury in Gemini opposes Saturn. 

The above creates a Kite pattern: the oppositions to Saturn form the spine, and the sextiles to the North Node and Uranus are the top, or release point. The Grand Fire Trine of Saturn, Uranus/Pallas and the North Node are the body of the Kite. Harking back to May 29th-June 3rd (when Mars in Gemini was the Kite’s focal point) we now have formalized choices, documents, ideas or conversations. Mars’ previous actions have led to this week’s decisions/discussions. A narrowed range of communication, or restricted information, can be beneficial, if you consider what the Kite is about. The more you focus, the more you’ll able to direct the crackling potential of Uranus/Pallas’ bold, untried strategies. And, you can plug this directly into future potentials represented by the Leo North Node. The Kite will be in effect until June 20th, when Mercury in Gemini makes a sextile to Uranus. 

Neptune in Pisces stations Rx on June 16th. This very subtle shift involves rolling back a dream or illusion. Looking more closely at what’s been shimmering, just out of your line of sight. When Neptune’s energy is intensified, the truth is revealed and the extraneous is dissolved. 

Aries

Sun/Mercury in your communication sector is the focal point of this week’s Kite. Official answers/documents will emphasize more work in the areas of travel, education, legal matters and publishing. Fortunately, aspects to Uranus/Pallas in your sign supply you with inspiration and fresh strategies.The clarity you gain about these areas can signal a breakthrough in how to deal with certain limits. Studying, exams or the submission of papers are also favoured. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your hidden sector suggests a subtle shift that you may not be aware of. A background issue is quietly being revisited, so you can release it, once and for all. 

Taurus

Sun/Mercury in your sector of personal resources is the focal point of this week’s Kite. Financial results are suggested, or financial documents/agreements. You could finalize a tax issue or pay off a debt. Too, an agreement between you and your partner (regarding money or intimacy) can be defined, as future domestic possibilities (new home, addition to the family, home business) fall into place. Bit by bit, you’re laying the foundation for a personal goal that involves progress on all levels. If an ending is featured, know that it’s still a crucial part of this progress. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your social sector can emphasize ideals or illusions, regarding a specific friendship, group or social cause. Your empathy and compassion may be triggered as you’re inspired to make a difference – just make sure you have the time, energy and expertise to back up your ideals. 

Gemini

Sun/Mercury in your sign is the focal point of this week’s Kite. The halfway point of a partnership discussion, legal matter or commitment has been reached, and you may feel pressed to make a decision. Know that choosing is in your best interests – all options were never available to you anyway, and now you can focus on moving ahead with future plans/social strategies. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your career sector can urge you to look more closely at professional ideals or unrealistic goals. Too, you may be dealing with unclear/undermined authority. The truth about someone you respected could come out. 

Cancer

Sun/Mercury in your hidden sector is the focal point of this week’s Kite. A vague goal or secret will be undeniably clarified. If you’ve been ignoring information related to health or work routines, this aspect will point out exactly what you need to address. Career and finances will benefit from your increased attention, and your efforts to be completely honest about what’s unsaid. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your opportunities sector suggests a review of unexplored potential, or distant/hopeful dreams. Issues around travel, education, legal matters, publishing, exploration or ideals may intensify, so you can decide if it’s appropriate to pursue or it’s time to let it go. Too, one particular path may open up, allowing you to move forward. However, know that Neptune does not force the issue – it’s up to you to take advantage of an opening.

Leo

Sun/Mercury in your social sector is the focal point of this week’s Kite (including a sextile to the North Node in your sign). A public announcement/clarification involving friends/groups will illuminate where you have to work harder to gain recognition. Or, you could see the results of an artistic project, new attraction or public goal. Too, you could find that your self-expression is restricted, with a narrow range of appropriate things to say. However, restrictions mean an increased sense of purpose – now you’ll know exactly what you have to do to move forward. You could be more determined than ever to make your mark.  Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your sector of shared resources can loosen intimate boundaries, bringing you and someone else closer together. Or, if you’ve reached an end, Neptune can begin the process of dissolution, regarding emotional or financial connections. 

Virgo

Sun/Mercury in your career sector is the focal point of this week’s Kite. The halfway point of a work project or job search can be reached, with clarity and results based on the effort you’ve put in so far. At this juncture, you should understand what’s left to complete, what’s no longer an option, and what you have to say or sign. Domestic/family responsibilities will play a key role. If you’re paying attention, you’ll find increased access to intuitive ideas/inspiration – think of this as a compass that’s being adjusted to point you in the right direction. Domestic finances are favoured.  Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your partnership sector suggests questions about a relationship ideal or promise. What you’ve been dreaming about/pining for will undergo a process of intensification, which will reveal its true potential (or lack of potential).Too, you may take a second look at what drew you to someone in the first place. 

Libra

Sun/Mercury in your sector of opportunities is the focal point of this week’s Kite. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you’ll be pushed to choose, sign an official document or prove your words. Revisions or increased pressure around studying, writing or providing documentation can reach a zenith – this will be as much as you can provide. Or, now it’s time to start Phase 2. The good news is that your efforts will be nicely aligned with someone else – a partnership can advance smoothly, or someone can offer invaluable feedback/confirmation. All relationships (platonic, romantic, one- on- one or social) can gain increased momentum. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your sector of routine suggests revisiting a health or work issue. Watch for increased confusion around solutions (or symptoms) as you struggle with priorities or lack of energy. For some, Neptune Rx can offer a temporary reprieve – use the downtime wisely. In all cases, this influence is meant to dissolve unhealthy habits. You may need to accept that certain issues cannot be fixed, and release is the best option. 

Scorpio

Sun/Mercury in your sector of shared resources is the focal point of this week’s Kite. Watch for a turning point involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. What’s owed or overdue will have to be paid. Discussions may focus on division of resources, or what you’re lacking. Too, this could be the time to respect boundaries, or accept that something has ended. Your mature focus and ability to accept uncomfortable truths will benefit career and finances, although the benefits won’t be instantaneous – right now, you’re building your foundations for the future. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your sector of self-expression can see you reviewing a romantic fantasy, habits of indulgence/addiction or creative goal. It may be time to release what’s been draining you and shift your focus to what can fill you up, instead. 

Sagittarius

Sun/Mercury in your partnership sector (opposing Saturn Rx in your sign) is the focal point of this week’s Kite. A separation, clarification of commitments or hard choice may be featured. Discussions or answers will involve a review of your responsibilities, including what’s non-negotiable. If you confront the unavoidable choice, you’ll bolster future opportunities and current inspiration/confidence. Travel, education, legal matters, issues with children or creative work can flourish. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your domestic sector suggests revisiting family history, or going over home repairs/a home business. Watch for leaks (literal or metaphorical) or issues that you’ve overlooked. Too, this could be about dissolving final links with the past. 

Capricorn

Sun/Mercury in your sector of routine is the focal point of this week’s Kite. You can reach an understanding regarding a health or work issue. The solution may not be quick or easy, but you’ll know where you stand and exactly what steps you have to take next. This may involve going back to improve or refine. Extra effort and an increased workload may be part of the deal. However, your attention to detail (maybe one detail in particular) will be key to continuous improvement with home/family. Domestic finances (including debts or your partner’s finances) can also see slow, steady improvement. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your communication sector can see you shifting priorities, reviewing hopes/dreams, or gradually dissolving an ongoing idea/conviction that’s no longer valid. 

Aquarius

Sun/Mercury in your sector of self-expression is the focal point of this week’s Kite (including the trine to the South Node in your sign). A creative project or new attraction will require your undivided attention. You may be faced with a difficult choice, orlimits on what you want. There may also be restrictions around what you can say. A public launch or announcement may be featured, but there will be a strict protocol, and increased pressure on you to deliver. However, more demands/limits mean you’ll be pushed in the right direction. These influences can help you decide who truly appreciates you, and where your audience is. A friendship/group association can be clarified. Now that you know exactly where you stand, you can concentrate on what really matters. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your sector of personal resources suggests going back to reconsider a purchase, source of income or self-esteem issue. Questions will involve how much you need versus want, and how much value you’ve been placing on something. If a source of income dissolves, consider how this reflects your shifting values. 

Pisces

Sun/Mercury in your domestic is the focal point of this week’s Kite. A family discussion, relocation or home business can bring added pressure, but also a clear choice. Future goals or career issues will be deciding factors, pushing you to formalize or define. The good news is, your choice will be connected to work benefits/improvements, as well as a firmer grasp on financial changes. Events will be connected to May 29th-June 3rd. 

Neptune Rx in your sign can shift priorities, or bring delays. Neptune doesn’t trigger quick changes anyway, so you may not notice the slowdown. However, rest assured that a gradual retreat or review is meant to clarify, by dissolving what’s no longer necessary. The dissolution may be imperceptible, but by the time Neptune stations direct in November, things should be less complicated.
