This week's headline items: the second Saturn/Uranus Square of the year becomes exact on Monday early evening; Mercury starts to station again (i.e. it slows down) on Wednesday; the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Thursday late evening; Jupiter’s Station intensifies on Friday and Neptune's Station does likewise on Saturday! 

On Sunday late morning, Jupiter comes to a halt (starting its 4-months Retrograde phase); in the late evening, the Sun changes signs from Gemini to Cancer (this also marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere).

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early afternoon (for a little over 9.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for 5 hours), and Sunday morning (for a little over an hour).
Now, this week’s Forecast...

Monday, June 14th:

Mondaythe Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)

So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no "outer children" around, how about getting in touch with your "inner child" -- it's definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

Monday early eveningthe second Saturn/Uranus Square of the year becomes exact, at 6:01pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from January 18th on, it will remain strong until July 18th (due to Saturn's Retrograde phase that began in May).

The first Square between these two planets was exact on Feb.17th. Think back to that time and ask yourself: What did I learn since January about myself, others, or society as a whole, in connection with spaciousness? How about when it comes to Freedom? Differences? Allowing myself to feel uncomfortable?

This aspect asks us to stretch a little or a lot (individually and collectively). We can't expect much of anything during this time... expect the unexpected!

Future visions and humanitarian causes -- especially those connected to like-minded people -- are quite likely to experience disruption, calling for flexibility and creative solutions.

During this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we're unclear on what is in our best interest, we might focus on things that don't serve us in the long run.

This aspect tells us that if we redefine our need to fit in and belong, we can find a more authentic connection with our own values; we are also invited to stay detached in our social dealing with others -- honoring our own individuality without making anyone else wrong for being different or "themselves".

Ask yourself: Are other people's choices and preferences really about me (in other words, do I need to take them personally)? Could I give the "choosing" of other people the space that it needs, so I can honor what's important to me, without taking things personally?

What might become possible if I expressed myself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion to me, and that's ok? How might that impact my current communities (whether physical or online)?

Saturn in Aquarius wants us to focus on realistic progress with our technologies, inventions, and long-term visions for the collective. While in Taurus, Uranus, on the other hand, prods us to get back to the basics -- to what really matters, what is sustainable (for the whole planet), and what is best for all living beings.

Given this, ask yourself: What does my body require before I can think about connecting with others? Where am I feeling a need for more spaciousness? What does my physical reality require before I can think about what to create for the future? Where do I need to "think out of the box"? 

Could I give myself permission to hold some space for things to reorganize themselves physically? How about mentally? Could I allow for this to happen slowly? Without needing to rush into anything? Without pushing others or myself?

Keep in mind that things sometimes need to break down in order for them to be reorganized in a more sustainable way. Individually, this can be related to the area of life in your birth chart that Saturn and Uranus are currently transiting through; collectively, it can show up in sudden shifts and changes in our social or financial structures (or in physical shifts in the Earth's structure).

If you had to sum this year up with one word, "unexpected" would be a great one to pick -- and as best as you can, embrace rather than fear this -- see it as opening possibilities for tremendous progress, long-term changes in social interactions, and more beneficial relationships to the planet, and to our physical and material world.

Remember, this only feels uncomfortable because it’s new, different, unfamiliar. Could you allow yourself to be 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?

If you would like to learn how the Saturn/Uranus Squares in Aquarius/Taurus  will  impact you personally throughout 2021, feel free to watch my webinar on the subject -- we looked at our own birth charts to see what the impact might be to us personally.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-16 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Capricorn (the Saturn rules Capricorn; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Monday eveninga somewhat challenging Mars/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Friday (June 11th) on, it will remain strong until this week Thursday evening. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make adjustments  -- first though, we must develop an inner awareness of what exactly needs adjusting.

We come to realize that we might have become overly enthusiastic and optimistic about life; what's more, our drive for inner spiritual expansion -- in other words, for connecting from an intuitive place and for going within to experience spiritual growth -- is actually leaving us feeling drained, and frustrated. At the same time, we harbor a strong desire to connect with our inner child, and have some fun creating and playing.

It will help us manage both these energies if we look more closely at how we use our own energy: simply put, are we in tune with our heart? Our physical and intuitive bodies? Could I be outgoing and still find time for spiritual growth?

It’s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our connection to our "Higher Self". Can we stay open to new spiritual perspectives and what they offer us? And perhaps toward our desire for more expansion of the heart-energies internally and externally?

Ignoring conflict will not serve us now, nor will being overly naive or sensitive; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your heart, and your physical and intuitive  body.

Ask yourself: Where might I be bringing an attitude that doesn't in fact serve my joyful connections with others? A good place to "aim" this question is toward one's "Higher Self" or intuitive "knowing".

Here's another question you may find helpful: If I were to check my energy body in the present moment, how do my assumptions or "stories" impact my relationship to joy and the experience of gratitude?

Do you haveyour Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of Leo or Pisces? If so, you will be...
