June 2022, Holiscopes
June brings opportunities to connect and communicate as Gemini season unfolds. At the beginning of the month, we’re integrating lessons from Eclipse season and Mercury Retrograde, which concludes on the 3. As Mercury stations direct in Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius begins its retrograde station on the 4. Don’t expect to hit the ground running just yet — as Mercury Retrograde’s shadow lingers, Saturn asks us to contain our enthusiasm and wait for more facts.
Venus and Uranus join up in Taurus on the 11, shaking up our relationships and financial situation, asking — Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone to invite in something new?
Mercury in Gemini brings effervescence to our interactions and mental processes on the 13. Whatever was delayed in early June has the ability to swiftly move forward, with the help of action-oriented Mars and expansive Jupiter.
Speaking of Jupiter, its energies rule the Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 14. What bigger-picture beliefs do we need to let go of? Which ones are worth holding onto so that we can continue to grow? Saturn’s influence invites us to commit to these beliefs, while Neptune could make things a little confusing.
Although Venus has been blissfully exalted in the sign of Taurus, Saturn constrains the pleasure and ease associated with the planet around the 18.
Summer Solstice on the 21 invites in Cancer season. Some of our collective focus shifts to watery, emotional intelligence, rather than airily gathering intellectual facts. We feel into the answer of the question over the coming weeks — What does it mean to nurture?
Along with Saturn, dreamy, mystical, dissolutioning Neptune stations Retrograde on June 28. This period over the next few months is a time to separate dreams from illusions and fact from fiction, while we re-vision ideas of spirituality and empathy.
Later that same day, June winds down with a supportive New Moon in Cancer. Here, we can recommit to nurturing ourselves and others by letting our emotions flow freely.
