This week, it’s time to fish or cut bait; to assert your own point of view, and also to be willing to stand alone – sometimes to walk away from all that is familiar and comforting – while you’re doing it.

Let’s start this forecast with two pieces of good news: This week isn’t as bad as two weeks ago was, and it’s significantly better than last week. Yes, Mars opposite Pluto is still (weakly) in effect the first few days of the week. That will increase the odds of some explosions. But for the most […]

June 23rd sees Venus in Gemini opposing Jupiter Rx, which suggests a review of desirable promises/choices. A hard aspect to Jupiter can exaggerate, and Venus’ square to Neptune Rx on June 24th will add delusion and fantasy to financial, relationship or self-esteem matters. But Jupiter and Neptune are both Rx, so you’ll be encouraged to look twice and ask questions. Plus, Venus’ awkward inconjunct to Saturn Rx in Capricorn (June 23rd) will bring an inconvenient limit that cannot be ignored.
Mercury enters Leo on June 26th, putting communication and information in the spotlight. Words become bold, attention-grabbing and stubborn, but Mercury will station Rx in this sign on Jul 7th, so what initially comes out will not be the final word. The Sun (ruler of Leo) in Cancer squares Wounded Healer Chiron (in Aries) on June 27th, suggesting that Mercury’s Leo ingress may reveal some painful, ego-denting issues.
Aspects to Venus in your communication sector can reveal an elusive idea or promise. Flirtations, creative visions or fabulous words may trigger impulsive attractions or temptations. However, pay attention to a professional rule or authority – it’s not compatible with what’s tempting you.
Mercury into your sector of self-expression can add to the flirtatious vibe as your words gain power and the ability to attract. Your thoughts may turn to fun, romance or risky prospects – good for expressing your true thoughts without limits. However, the Sun in your domestic sector square Chiron in your sign can dredge up painful family issues that trigger new wounds. You may feel vulnerable with those you’re supposed to feel safest with.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources can stir up promises of more money but can also increase the urge to spend more. A financial opportunity should be viewed with caution, as should any social situations where there’s a risk of undermining yourself. Watch for rules/limits in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing to keep you in check.
Mercury into your domestic sector can increase family discussions with a focus on pride, ego or the urge for self-expression. The Sun in your communication sector square Chiron insists that conversations will not be easy – hidden or unacknowledged sensitivities can make discussions very touchy. Proceed with caution.
Aspects to Venus in your sign suggest romantic misunderstandings, professional disillusionment or projected ideals that don’t match reality. A partnership can be tricky, even as your hopes are raised. Pay attention to background limits/boundaries around intimacy or shared finances – there’s a hidden reality check.
Mercury into your communication sector can increase the tempo of all ingoing and outgoing information, with a distinct colouring of pride, playfulness and creativity. However, the Sun in your sector of personal resources square Chiron suggests a financial or emotional issue can be your weak spot, as you feel “less than” or undermined by a friend or public influence. Others will impact you, but you still have control over how you react.
Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector suggest escapism, delusion or overindulgence in something you haven’t been fully admitting to. A partner or competitor can bring a tough reality check, but you’ll have to balance that with excessive restrictions that force you to choose something you don’t want.
Mercury into your sector of personal resources puts the focus on earned money and values – you may be discussing more or demanding more, but the Sun in your sign square Chiron can also illuminate difficulties with a job or someone in authority. Questions about whether you’re worth the money (or whether you have the confidence to ask for more) could be issues. A new area of ambition could leave you feeling vulnerable or undeserving (which doesn’t mean it’s something you should walk away from).
Aspects to Venus in your social sector can amplify an attraction, flirtation or euphoric connection with others. Your public image can expand, but it can also be undermined by hidden addictions or lack of boundaries. Be careful who you trust and what you put out there – obligations involving work and health will trigger some undesirable choices.
Mercury into your sign boosts your ability to grab others with your words, or it could signal a moment when you decide to go public. But the Sun in your hidden sector square Chiron points to private insecurities, or a secret that can be debilitating if you don’t deal with it. Before you speak out, make sure you have a handle on what’s hidden.
Aspects to Venus in your career sector can expand your hopes for a job opportunity or see you enjoying a boost to your professional image/connection with someone in authority. However, be very careful in your dealings with others: a one-on-one connection can undermine or mislead you, and you’ll also be dealing with limits around what you want.
Mercury into your hidden sector can see you pulling back, keeping secrets or looking behind the scenes for more information. The Sun in your social sector square Chiron suggests public embarrassments or social insecurities (triggered by deeper issues of a financial or emotional nature) could be part of this. You may feel exposed.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of opportunities can expand your hopes for a long-distance romance or issues around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. An announcement, promise or grand idea can see you looking for more or ignoring the practical details. However, what you overlook can undermine you, and you’ll have to deal with domestic responsibilities or limits that anchor you. Nonetheless, don’t give up on the new development – choose wisely and go slow.
Mercury into your social sector can accelerate the pace of contacts with others or give you a public forum for your words. But the Sun in your career sector square Chiron suggests that professional doubts (connected to a partner or competitor) can undermine your authority or focus on the future. Consider if the other person is revealing a valuable truth or is actively trying to destabilize you.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources can encourage you to overspend, give too much or expect too much from a partner. While there’s a definite romantic or indulgent vibe here, it will be easy to go too far. Listen to someone’s “No” or pay attention to an official rule/document that makes the choice non-negotiable.
Mercury into your career sector suggests emphasis on discussions with management or a professional announcement. But the Sun in your sector of opportunities square Chiron suggests doubts about stepping into a new area or moving outside your comfort zone. Pay attention to practical concerns (health or work related) but don’t let them stop you from stepping forward.
Aspects to Venus in your relationship sector (including the opposition to Jupiter Rx in your sign) can trigger illusions and false choices in a partnership. You may be projecting more onto a partner, or you might be questioning the integrity of their choices (especially where domestic issues are involved). Finances and defining your values will deliver some hard reality checks.
Mercury into your sector of opportunities can open your eyes to new possibilities in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. There’s more and better to consider/learn about, but the Sun in your sector of shared resources, square Chiron, will also be stirring up disappointments and vulnerabilities in the areas of shared finances or intimacy. Look carefully at what’s going on behind the scenes.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine can expand your faith in a possible health or work solution. Too, you could be feeling more indulgent as you decide to let certain things slide. But the inconjunct to Saturn Rx in your sign will be an awkward reminder that there are limits you cannot ignore. Certain responsibilities are non-negotiable.
Mercury into your sector of shared resources can see you looking beneath the surface or having sensitive discussions about debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy. The Sun in your relationship sector square Chiron suggests awkward issues in a domestic partnership may come up, including the balance of finances or emotions.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression suggest a dreamy attraction, reason to celebrate or desire to indulge/show off. You can certainly enjoy yourself here, but pay attention to questions about money or undermining choices – a background limit or hint that you need to apply some boundaries will be important.
Mercury into your partnership sector suggests intensified relationship conversations or the introduction of someone who grabs your attention with their words/bold ideas. But the Sun in your sector of routine square Chiron can stir up cautions about health or work issues – you may have some awkward conversations about what you can’t deliver or errors that need to be corrected.
Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector (including the square to Neptune Rx in your sign) suggest unclear but tempting choices regarding a family or career situation. Domestic issues can be confusing and you may have to look more closely at what you’re avoiding. Social judgments and authority will clarify what you can’t have.
Mercury into your sector of routine shifts your focus to practical matters of work, health and corrections. The Sun in your sector of self-expression square Chiron can undermine your confidence as worries about money or values make you question if you have what it takes.

Venus
Venus/Jupiter can exaggerate what you want – there may appear to be more choices regarding a financial, relationship or value issue. And they will be exuberant and tempting. But some of those choices will be unwise, as Jupiter retrograde asks you to review before you say “yes.” And Venus’ inconjuncts to the South Node and Saturn Rx insist that a rule/limit from the past will narrow your choices. So really, you may only have one, viable option. The brakes will be applied and that issue from the past will not be ignored.
Uranus
Uranus/Vesta adds urgency to an area of focus. Vesta is the ultimate focus/sacred flame, and Uranus suggests a sudden shot of devotion; an all-or-nothing, extreme jolt that clarifies what has the most value (Taurus). This will include old values/resources/habits being blown away.
The sextile to BML suggests this will involve some taboo, possibly magical/transcendent expressions of female energy. One of Lilith’s manifestations is the witch, and this is emphasized in Pisces, the sign that lies beyond reality. Here we have a wake-up call about what/who is essential, even if she’s “forbidden.”
Vesta is purity and BML is dark, raw sexuality (the prostitute, the other woman, the woman who belongs to no one). When they harmonize, what’s socially forbidden becomes a path to personal enlightenment and discipline (Vesta is untouchable in her own way – she also belongs to no one but herself).
Add Uranus’s liberation, and you have a whole new set of values and security at your fingertips.
Summary
So, if we consider Uranus/Vesta/BML and the aspects to Venus (also female energy and the ruler of Taurus) a picture emerges- you’re questioning what sounds/looks good regarding love and values. Is it hollow? At the same time, there’s one, undeniable choice. You’re not stuck in the past, but you are paying attention to what came before so you don’t make the same mistakes. Or maybe there’s an ongoing responsibility/tradition that still has value.
Either way, Uranus/Vesta in Taurus insists that part of this is about devoting yourself to a new goddess – a new expression of female energy/values (whether you’re a man or woman) who cracks the Saturn whip.
