Overview

Sun Conjunct Mercury in Gemini

The June 5th superior conjunction between the Gemini Sun and Mercury makes an incompatible inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in Scorpio. In the Sun/Mercury cycle, this is a “Full Moon” aspect –  it’s a result connected to the last Sun/Mercury conjunction (on April 1st when Mercury was Rx in Aries). This conjunction in Gemini suggests an illumination of key details or choices, but the tense aspect to Jupiter suggests discord between these details versus the enthusiastic exposure of deep truths. There needs to be an adjustment between depth and flexibility, illumination and secrets.

As Sun/Mercury go on to square Neptune from June 6th to 7th, the challenge will be to find the missing info, identify valid choices (some of them will be false) and be aware of deceit. This could be someone else’s lies or your own airbrushing of the truth. 

From June 8th to 11th, the Sun and Mercury will makes inconjuncts to Pluto Rx in Capricorn, adding in suspicions and hints of covert power plays. There will be awareness of something more behind the words, but the trick will be to balance this against paranoia. Unconscious impulses can distort information. 

Venus Opposite Pluto

Also on June 5th, Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto Rx in Capricorn. The most sensitive cravings (for love, security, food or comfort) will be intensified and challenged. Pluto presses the finger on what you feel you must have while triggering anxieties that it will be taken away. This peak/result/ending can be compulsive and overwhelmingly intense, so it’s helpful to realize that oppositions always involve projection. Consider if the object of your desire actually reflects what you have within you.

Mars Conjunct the South Node

On June 8th, Mars in Aquarius makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node. The repeat hits will be due to Mars’ Rx, and indicate sustained effort (or the need to redo and accept delays) as you attempt to liberate yourself from the past or take something to a place of creative pride, power and joy. Mars in Aquarius agitates for freedom, independence and the future – this is about moving forward, even if you initially feel stuck. Don’t give up if it doesn’t work out the first time – this influence will extend to September 27th.

Aries

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your communication sector can present an answer, decision or final piece of information connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sign). However, clarity may be an issue as secrets/unconscious factors blur the facts. You may struggle with anxiety over power plays (from someone in authority) and a disconnect between private issues involving money/intimacy versus public details. You’ll have to choose what’s discussed openly versus what’s better left unspoken. At the same time, it will be crucial that you keep an eye out for missing details – keep your story straight and be aware that others might try to manipulate. 

Venus in your domestic sector opposes Pluto Rx, suggesting that career issues will lead to an intense conclusion at home/with family. Professional goals versus what you want at home may be a theme, and there can be an intensified craving for success/status that will impact your home life. Watch for parent/child dynamics, even if your actual parents are not involved (in this case, a manger may fill the parent role). Too, there can be a major domestic transformation (relocation, home renovation, home business) based on external power. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your social sector. A key group dynamic, connection to the public or friendship may be triggered by conflict, passion or the active pursuit of an ideal. Consider where you’re directing your energy and what you hope to achieve. One shot will not be the end of story, so be prepared for a drawn out, public battle or project (that features delays).

Taurus

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sector of personal resources can deliver a choice, document or discussion connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your hidden sector). What began behind the scenes has now manifested as information/conversations around earned money, self-esteem or values. You may waver about what you really want, or find it difficult to clarify the terms of the agreement. Big-picture issues (involving travel, law, education or publishing) can trigger insecurity or paranoia, while partnership expectations can make it difficult to focus on what really matters. It will be easy to forget what your primary needs are but it’s essential that you narrow down your demands and focus on what matters most. 

Venus in your communication sector opposes Pluto Rx, indicating a powerful answer, announcement or decision. There may be some good news with a shadow side, or what you want to hear/say may be challenged by something greater than you. You may be compelled to demand something, or hunt compulsively for a desired outcome. Know that the power of words/ideas will be amplified by what you think you must have. Use caution when delivering your message, because the impact will be greater than you realize. If you’re receiving a message, consider what’s behind the words or what’s being projected. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your career sector, activating an issue with authority/goals from the past. Your actions, ambitions or response to a challenge can conclude a job search, project or position in your current work place. But the result will extend over the next few months – you may have to keep trying or keep hammering at the glass ceiling. Too, if you stubbornly refuse to alter your future course, these energies could be an extended push that accelerates your exit. 

Gemini

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sign suggest a realization, choice or announcement connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your social sector). You may be responding to a key person/public issue or speaking out about what’s most important. But misguided or confused professional goals can muddy the waters, while suspicions/fears and overenthusiastic promises about work/health can compromise your message. Choose your words carefully and don’t assume that others are hearing exactly what you’re saying. 

Venus in your sector of personal resources opposes Pluto Rx, hi-lighting an intense want involving earned money or security. You may feel compromised (especially by a partner) or vulnerable, and issues of financial or emotional control may come up. The key is examining what you feel you must have – can you provide it for yourself, or does someone else hold the power? 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of opportunities, activating issues around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. This could be the start of your crusade, long journey or passionate fight to draw attention to something that reflects your ideals. Too, you could be wrapping up a journey or course of education. 

Cancer

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your hidden sector can open up a background choice, secret or intuitive piece of info connected to April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your career sector). You may be dealing with undefined or work-in-progress issues related to career, or maybe you have to take a step back and rethink your goals. While you have a core idea, you may be confused about which direction to take it – there could be an abundance of choices. Too, power plays/competition and overenthusiastic hopes can throw you off track. Your task is to keep it as real as you can while not extinguishing the dream and creative momentum. There’s much you don’t know yet – this is a process with unexpected paths. 

Venus in your sign opposes Pluto Rx, emphasizing parent/child dynamics in a relationship. You may feel helpless, needy or at the mercy of another who seems to hold all the cards, but consider if you’re projecting what you crave onto them. The person who seems to b essential actually reflects what you need to develop within yourself. In some cases, a relationship may turn a major corner, leading to a permanent transformation. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of shared resources. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy may be areas where energy has come to a peak and a sensitive matter needs to be addressed. This may make you feel vulnerable, but it’s part of the process of detaching yourself from undermining habits and dependencies  – you’re moving to a place of power and pride in your own self-sufficiency. 

Leo

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your social sector bring results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your opportunities sector). A social event, public announcement or discussion with friends may be featured, but the message will be undermined by hidden fears or illusions. Efforts to control or improve can add an edge to what’s being discussed, and family/domestic issues can be distracting. Remember that your words/ideas will be public, even if some of the issues that are driving them are not. Be wary of unconscious slips, unclear boundaries and mismanaged expectations. 

Venus in your hidden sector opposes Pluto Rx, activating hidden desires and cravings. What you haven’t admitted to will reach a point of no return – you may have to let go or fully acknowledge a health, work or routine issue. Secret attractions can be intense and all-consuming, and this aspect suggests a turning point. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your relationship sector, opposing the North Node in your sign. So begins the process of sorting out a partnership issue, or your approach to partnerships in general. Competition, challenges or assertiveness from someone else (or a past relationship) will push you to actualize an area in your life that is ripe for development. This may require a goodbye (to a person or partnership habit) or a wrap-up of a past relationship. Even if someone else seems to be calling the shots, you choose if you want to move forward or not. 

Virgo

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your career sector deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sector of shared resources). What was hidden or private will now be spoken about publicly, or applied to future goals/professional image. Watch for a conversation with management, a career announcement or business choice. However, a particular relationship (personal or business) can confuse the issue and erode the clarity/professionalism of your words. At the same time, you’ll be dealing with tension between specific details versus an enthusiastic dive into a compelling issue, plus a forceful desire to get attention/appreciation. The push for more/better can compromise professional standards – speak with caution, and double check all promises (including you own). 

Venus in your social sector opposes Pluto Rx, amplifying issues around a friendship, group affiliation or your connection to the public. A launch, ending or attraction can pack more power than you anticipated, and you’ll certainly grab public attention. Therefore, you want to make sure that the attention you’re receiving is aligned with what you actually want- others can project deeper motivations onto you. Unrequited attraction , jealousy or unpleasant responses are possible risks. While you can’t control others, you can make sure your intent and responses are honest and balanced. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of routine. Health, daily work and service to others are areas where you may experience challenges, extra work or pressure to upgrade. There’s a specific task that’s just beginning, and it  involves breaking away from old habits/routines that have been holding you back. An extended conflict with a co-worker is another possibility.  

Libra

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sector of opportunities deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your partnership sector). A relationship conversation/decision can now go further, or you can experience added freedom as you see what lies beyond your immediate horizons. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can learn more. However, what you discover may overwhelm you with endless possibilities, and not all of them will be valid. A key weakness can undermine future plans. There can be confusion about details, or unrealistic hopes/ideals. Financial and domestic issues can add further tension as you attempt to juggle new info with developments. The key is rising above your past/ security fears, while keeping your eye on the truth and reminding yourself that new discoveries must be balanced with your existing foundation. Be aware that “the truth” can be a flexible concept – don’t be afraid to ask questions. 

Venus in your career sector opposes Pluto Rx, delivering a conclusion around career, a professional relationship or your professional image. Changes/endings at home will drive these results, and personal matters can leak into business. A desired objective may be reached, but consider how issues from the past are driving it. Watch for parent/child dynamics to pop up and cross professional boundaries. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of self-expression. The process of creative or romantic pursuit begins, as you’re motivated to go after what you want. A passionate new attraction with a fated feeling (or an attraction from the past) could flare up. Too, you could be pushing to gain an audience for your work. While results will not be immediate, your goal is to gain a wider perspective on what you really want. Ultimately, this is not just about you. 

Scorpio

Aspects to the Sun/Mercury in your sector of shared resources deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sector of routine). You may receive deeper insight or private information about a health or work issue, and now the focus will be on shared finances, intimacy or psychological processes. This could be about counselling, financial choices or uncomfortable discussions/secrets. Details will be blurred by unrealistic desires or escapism, and the inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in your sign suggests you may lose track of the essential facts if you get caught up in something intensive. Looking for more/digging beneath the surface can distort your perspective, especially if paranoia is involved. Make an effort to step back and take a detached view of what’s happening – look at the facts. 

Venus in your sector of opportunities opposes Pluto Rx, delivering intensive results in the areas of travel, long distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing. A distant goal can feel like life or death, with all the power of obsessive thoughts and tunnel vision behind it. Too, there could be a powerful announcement/discussion that reveals a difficult truth behind what you want. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your domestic sector. Here is the start of an extended process that revisits the past, your childhood or ongoing family issues. Actions/conflict are meant to stir up what you need to wrap up or step away from. Too, this could be about completing home renovations or relocating.  

Sagittarius

Aspects to the Sun/Mercury in your partnership sector deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sector of self-expression). Progress from attraction to relationship may be a theme. Too, you and your partner may engage in some back and forth about next steps or mutual plans. However, these discussions will be undermined by family patterns, addiction, illness or one partner’s dependency. Secret hopes and financial issues can also make straightforward discussion difficult. It may be challenging to get a straight answer  and your unacknowledged fears and expectations will colour things. 

Venus in your sector of shared resources opposes Pluto Rx, intensifying financial or intimacy issues. Something that you want from another may feel overwhelming and out of your control, so consider the dynamics of what you receive versus what you give. There may need to be a rebalancing, especially if one person has all the power.   

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your communication sector. It may feel critical now that you make your voice heard – a key issue is pushing to be vocalized or written about because you want to take it further/reach a wider audience. You’ve got drive and passion, but know that this will be a drawn out process, with delays and rethinks. Nonetheless, it’s important for you to say your piece. 

Capricorn

Aspects to the Sun/Mercury in your sector of routine deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your domestic sector). A solution or improvement involving health, daily routine or work tasks may involve past family issues. There could be more to do and more information to juggle. But the details will be unclear, and it will be easy to overlook flaws and missing info. Misdiagnosis is also a risk.  The inconjunct to Pluto Rx in your sign can trigger efforts to micromanage, and you may also be dealing with the expectations of others. Remember to prioritize and focus on the immediate essentials, while accepting that you will not be able to control every last detail. Ask questions to gain clarity, and double-check all details. 

Venus in your partnership sector opposes Pluto Rx in your sign, amplifying your desire to control a relationship outcome. Know that you cannot control another person, and it’s possible that you’re projecting a desire onto them. In general, this energy can deliver a major partnership turning point, with parent/child undertones. Consider who calls the shots and if the balance of power is healthy. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of personal resources. Efforts to earn, pursue a new source of income or establish your security will involve an extended process where you balance self-sufficiency with trust in another. You may be looking at pooling your resources, or stepping away from a “me first” approach. Too, you could feel like you have to defend yourself/your resources and the challenge will be to recognize if this is legitimate or part of old, invalid programming. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sector of self expression deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your communication sector). Here is the bold statement or piece of writing- you’re putting it out there to grab attention in a flirtatious or creative way. There could be an answer about something you’ve been desiring, or even multiple, tempting choices. However, what you see, say or hear may be insubstantial or risky. It will be tempting to to go too far and say too much (some of this will be driven by unconscious motivations). Check the facts carefully before you decide, and make sure you can back up everything you’re offering.

Venus in your sector of routine opposes Pluto Rx, indicating a result around health, work routine or service to others. What you give or try to improve will be connected to more profound transformations that are happening in the background. This could be the permanent end of a habit, approach to service or work. Self-worth, self-esteem and self-improvement will be issues. Consider what’s really driving your efforts to make things better, or make someone else happy.

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sign, emphasizing a key action, initiative or expression of anger. You may be attempting to get the ball rolling on a project, relationship or lifestyle issue, and ultimately your goal will be a balanced exchange with someone else (this is not just about you). This is true, even if this features an ending. Things will not happen quickly, so be prepared for a drawn out conclusion or sustained effort. 

Pisces

Sun/Mercury in your domestic sector delivers results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your personal resources sector). An answer/choice (about relocation or a home business) or a family discussion will be featured, but the square to Neptune in your sign makes it unfocused and may deliver more questions than answers. Also, watch for unregulated expectations/ideals and an undercurrent of suspicion or hostility from the public. Lots of external factors will make personal choices tricky – remind yourself what the key issue is and consider if you’re sending or receiving mixed messages. 

Venus in your sector of self-expression opposes Pluto Rx, hi-lighting an intense attraction or desire. You may want something/someone beyond all reason, and here is the peak (or ending). This can be wonderful or upsetting, depending on how the “other” (including the public) reacts, and if there are any projections happening. You may become the target for someone else’s desires or judgments. You may project obsession onto someone. Too, if this marks the launch of a creative/artistic effort, you can be sure it will have a profound impact. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your hidden sector. This is the start of an extended effort to bring something out into the open, or move from escape/denial into the real world. There may be a struggle to attain clarity, ground yourself or pull away from addictions/secrets of the past. Keep working/pushing and remind yourself that it’s all about improving your daily life.
