Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
your host, Alice Bell, and today is Monday, June sixteenth.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and first week
of Jupiter now officially in Cancer, my Jupiter in the
Twelfth House. Updates have been very I've felt this transit
very literally so far. I went to a funeral this
(00:25):
past week for one of my husband's family members, his
great aunt passed away, and I also severely injured my
foot when I stubbed it against the door, so I
was housebound and couldn't walk really and couldn't explore and
go on my daily walks throughout a lot of last week.
(00:45):
So that was very much that Twelfth House of rest
and isolation. Hopefully the rest of this transit is not
that difficult, but yeah, I'm Marty. It's crazy like how
literal it starts to play out as soon as these
bigger transits began. Looking ahead at the next few days,
we're really going to experience a decline and energy as
(01:06):
we close out this lunar cycle and we get closer
to the new moon and cancer which is taking place
on June twenty fifth. So it's not really a week
of trying to get a lot going or initiating anything major,
but rather wrapping up what you've been working on, really
taking time to maybe flesh out ideas a bit more
(01:27):
and plan for your next steps, but not fully acting
on those next steps yet. And actually cancer season is
starting on Friday the twentieth, on the night of the
twentieth for Eastern and America and similar time zones for
everyone ahead of America, though cancer season actually starts on
your twenty first, So we're getting that shift in the
(01:50):
zodiac season at the end of this week, and we're
going we're moving away from this very multitasking social kind
of all over the place type energy of Gemini into
this more i would say, introverted and wanting to foster
more meaningful relationships or more meaningful work, with the Sun
(02:10):
about to move into cancer. And then of course Mars
is moving into Virgo in the earlier part of this week.
So I just feel like all these planets moving into
cancer plus Mars moving into Virgo. It's interesting how on
a very quick like, in a very short amount of time,
we've shifted from a lot of fire and air sign
transits to now it all being about water and Earth
(02:33):
Sign transits. So it's less about this outreach and this
being everywhere at once and connecting with a lot of
people and extending your network, and more about reeling it
back in and tending to the practical, everyday details and
routine of your life. So not the most exciting, but
these periods are necessary in order to get organized, do
(02:55):
necessary reflection, and really find your way forward from there.
Announcements before we get started, I got slowed down in
the funeral kind of through a obstacle in my plans
for last week in my schedule, So Saturn Transit Stories
Part two will be out this Thursday, so stay tuned
(03:15):
for that here wherever you listen to podcasts and also
on YouTube with diagrams. And then also I'm putting out
the monthly sub stack Cancer Season monthly horoscopes at the
end of this week, on the twentieth. They should be
out just in time for cancer Season. And that's a
really in depth look at what all of the significant
transits are for the next month and what that means
(03:37):
for your individual rising sign. So you can think of
that as like a mini reading that you can keep
coming back to over the next several weeks. And see
how that reading aligns with events taking place in your
life for the next month, So stay tuned for that.
And with that being said, let's get into the astrology
for the week ahead. Okay, we're starting the week off
(03:58):
on Monday, Jun sixteenth. The moon is lingering at the
end of Aquarius at the start of Monday. If you'll recall,
the moon was an Aquarius throughout a lot of this
past weekend, and the moon will be building to an
opposition with Mars in Leo for the first half of
the day Eastern Time on Monday, so more of your
whole day if you're in time zones ahead, but with
(04:21):
the moon opposing Mars, you could feel more easily irritated
at the start of Monday, especially in your interactions with
other people or with some type of relationship dilemma or
situation you're facing, or in general, maybe you feel kind
of impatient or quick to react, quick to get emotional,
or a situation gets a bit heated, so try not
(04:42):
to take things that personally or note when for you
it's necessary to slow down and not text someone on
an emotional note or respond right away, like take that
time to reflect on what you really want to say
or how you really want to react. On a more
positive note, maybe this moon Mars opposition means you have
(05:04):
extra energy to kick start er week and it's more
of an exciting activity driven Monday than it normally would be.
Right around two pm Eastern on Monday, the moon will
shift into Pisces for the next couple of days, so
that's going to be completely opposite and energy to what
we just experienced in the lead up to two pm.
(05:25):
The moon will also try in Jupiter in Cancer. So
if earlier in the day on Monday feels a bit tense,
then as we move later into the day, afternoon, evening night,
you're gonna feel more relaxed and slowed down, or like
those relationship interactions are coming more easily to you and
there's not as much friction or conflict. So Pisce's moon
themes to keep in mind throughout the rest of Monday,
(05:48):
all day Tuesday, and the majority of Wednesday while the
moon is in the sign will be that you may
have heightened sensitivity and feel a bit more emotional and
kind of want to keep to yourself in order to
process feelings coming up. Or you could be more giving
and compassionate to people, but at the same time, you're
going to want to be aware of the energy around you,
(06:09):
like what types of relationships are you surrounding yourself with,
what type of environment makes you feel good about yourself?
And I just find Pisces makes you ultra sensitive to
that type of thing, and there can be moments where
it feels like a lot and you really need to
take that time to be by yourself to recharge and
get back in your own energy. I would also say
(06:29):
with the moon and Pisces for the next couple of days,
you may be drawn to spirituality more than usual. That
could be journaling, it could be astrology, manifestation, or religion,
whatever that looks like for you, and really tuning into
your own intuition and strengthening that trust you have within
yourself rather than seeking answers from everyone else. And that
(06:51):
leads us into Tuesday, June seventeenth. The moon is still
in Pisces all day, so again we're seeing those themes
we just went over of, maybe only a bit more emotional,
a bit drained, or simply called to a spiritual practice,
even if that's just going for a walk outside by
yourself and being in nature. There are some positive aspects
that will help to boost your mood though on Tuesday,
(07:13):
and that will be that the moon is sextile to
Venus and Taurus, and it'll also be training mercury and cancer.
So this shows how you may be able to productively
communicate your ideas with people, or put your thoughts and
emotions into writing, or schedule meetups with people you feel
comfortable around, like fostering those relationships you really care about
in your life. Because all of these aspects involve the
(07:36):
water and earth signs, it really points to wanting things
to feel familiar and more meaningful, or that a meeting
you're having or a task you're doing serves this practical purpose.
It's not just staying busy and connected with people for
the sake of staying busy and connected. Also happening on
Tuesday is that Mars is moving into Virgo until August
(08:00):
six so Mars has been in Leo. I believe it
was like April eighteenth it moved into Leo, so almost
two months now, yeah, exactly two months. But it's going
to spend less time in Virgo because it's slowly picking
up speed after that retrograde we had earlier on in
the year, so it's spending about six to seven weeks
in Virgo, and that will have you wanting to put
(08:20):
more energy into Virgo related themes like taking better care
of your body. This could be a great little chunk
of time to get back into exercising more regularly or
scheduling doctor's appointments like checking up on your body. I
know how I have a list of doctors I need
to go see because I'm super bad about doing stuff
like that, So definitely going to plan to do that
(08:41):
this summer. Also finding ways to boost productivity at work,
like what tasks really like thinking about what tasks are
worth your time and energy, and how can you better
manage your time or find a greater balance between work
and leisure in your schedule. I would say Mars and
Virgo is great for tending to any bigger projects that
(09:01):
involve a lot of editing or where you have to
keep track of a lot of small details at once.
It's just better for like being more precise with cutting
things out or noticing imperfections. The downside of that, though,
is that there is this perfectionist tendency with Mars and
Virgo to maybe need everything go a certain way before
(09:22):
you can even get started. So maybe try to go
a bit easier on yourself, or remind yourself you don't
need everything to be perfect to jump into a new project,
a new experience, like just go for it and figure
out the details as you move along. What's also really
important about Mars moving into Virgo is that it's moving
(09:43):
into the same sign as the south node in Virgo
because the nodes are currently in Pisces and Virgo, and
that's where the eclipses are taking place this year and next.
And so I always find that when when Mars triggers
the nodes like this, that's when you really start to
see the activity represented by that nod ol transit, that
eighteen month notal transit and that eclipse cycle. That's when
(10:05):
it comes to light and greater activity starts to happen there.
So if we think back to the Virgo lunar eclipse
that took place this past March, that eclipse I feel
like didn't do a lot because it was so it
was opposed by Saturn and Neptune and just everything felt
held back or slowed up again. And now with Mars
(10:25):
moving into Virgo, there's no opposition from Saturn or Neptune
because those are both left Pisces. Mars is free to
really kick up a lot of activity and get you
motivated in that Virgo world house of your chart, and
more is likely to happen there over this next six
weeks than it then occurred back at that lunar eclipse
(10:46):
earlier on in the year, So that's something to be
aware of between now in early August, and it'll also
set the stage for end of August September when we
actually reach Virgo season. And this is kind of getting
off topic for the week, but Virgo season's really interesting
this year because there's two new moons in Virgo. There's
one right at the start of Virgo season that's a
(11:07):
regular new moon, and then at the very end of
Virgo season we get a solar eclipse in Virgo. So
that also just points to how this house and this
sign in your chart is heavily emphasized in the second
half of twenty twenty five, and there's going to be
a lot of development and change that is about to
(11:27):
take place there, and it's being kicked off this week
with Mars entering that sign and that house of your chart. Okay,
Moving right along to Wednesday, June eighteenth. The moon is
in Pisces still for the majority of the day, so
we're again getting a continuation of those themes we've kept
going over for Monday and Tuesday. The moon will also
(11:48):
square the Sun at the end of gem and Ice.
So this Moon Sun square could bring up some type
of frustrating situation that's out of your control or just
a bit of internal tension. And it's not the easiest transit,
and I feel like having it across these mutable signs
means maybe it is asking you to be more adaptable
(12:09):
to change or finding ways to incorporate the thinking side
of yourself, the logical side of your brain, which is
represented by the Sun in Gemini, with the more intuitive
emotional side of yourself, which is represented by the moon
and Pisces, So that could be a bit challenging. The
moon finally leaves Pisces and moves into Aries seven pm
(12:30):
Eastern on Wednesday, and as it moves into Aries, it's
going to immediately conjunct Saturn and Neptune and Aries and
then square Jupiter and Cancer. So this is a bit
tricky to interpret because it's so many aspects the moon
is making it once that kind of all have a
different meaning. On the one hand, I want to say
(12:52):
that you'll have more motivation and energy with the moon
now out of pisces and in aries. But on Wednesday
evenings specifically, there could be this you're feeling kind of
way down or overly sensitive or not just not super motivated,
Like there's this heaviness that is persisting. This will lift
once we get into Thursday, but know that for Wednesday evening,
(13:15):
Wednesday night, maybe you just want to be by yourself
and not push yourself to do too much. And on
a similar note, there's another aspect that's happening on Wednesday,
and that's Jupiter building to an exact square with Neptune
and aries all day. So it's kind of like once
the moon comes into Aries later on Wednesday, it really
triggers this Jupiter Neptune exact square. So in last week's
(13:38):
episode we talked about Jupiter Saturn square. Now Jupiter has
immediately gone on to square Neptune, and I would say
Jupiter aspecting Neptune, it's just going to amplify all of
those Neptunean qualities, like being a bit confused not everything
is as it seems. There might be a lack of
boundaries or being very sensitive. So looking at the ARES
(14:01):
and Cancer World Houses of your chart at the moment,
you could feel low energy, uncertain or dissatisfied with the
way things might be going in these areas, and it
could be hard to see a bigger picture there. On
a more positive note, maybe you don't feel that way,
and this transit is just helping you to incorporate more
(14:22):
of a spiritual approach or your creativity into these two
areas of your life, either the ARES Worldhouse or the
Cancer World House, or you're blending the themes of those
two together. And you also may feel this call to
be connected to something bigger than yourself, because it's like this,
this hope and this sense of faith and spirituality or
(14:44):
religion or whatever you believe in that will be bigger
throughout this week. And it could also have you wanting
to support people you care about or help other people
out within your community or in the world at large.
It's more of this like giving back in compassion. It
energy gets amplified than we are to Thursday, June nineteenth,
(15:05):
the moon is still in aries all day. It's no
longer making those tough aspects to Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter though,
so you're feeling more of the energized, let's get going
type of areas energy where you might be ready to initiate,
but like I said at the start, because it's waning Moon,
getting excited about stuff you want to start next, but
(15:26):
maybe not fully getting into it yet. So keep that
in mind that we're still in the waning moon phase.
So even though you have a lot more enthusiasm, use
it for brainstorming or plotting out your next course of
action that you will initiate. After a twenty fifth I
would say other Aris Moon keywords might be speaking up more,
(15:46):
being more assertive, wanting to be more independent in an
area of your life, and just really taking charge. Not
much else is happening besides that. On Thursday, I would
say probably the Jupiter Neptune stuff we just went over
would still apply there as well, and throughout a large
part of this week, not just for Wednesday. So you
could also apply that to Thursday, Friday into the weekend too,
(16:09):
and in the days leading up to Wednesday. But let's
now move on to Friday, June twentieth, So again we've
got the moon and aries for pretty much the entire day.
On Friday, however, it's going to be squaring mercury and cancer,
and it's going to also be coming up on a
conjunction with chiron and ares. So this may be more
(16:29):
of an emotional Friday. Or you're looking past certain fears
or insecurities you have that you want to work on,
Like maybe that has to do with, oh, you are
scared of a certain situation, or there's some type of
limiting belief you have about yourself and you want to
move past that and expose yourself to the situation that
(16:49):
scares you and build confidence in doing so. Or you
could be looking at a past emotion that keeps coming
up that might still be bothering you, and maybe you
want to like the way you communicate to other people
or write about your emotions and your feelings. That may
feel more emotionally charged on Friday. So maybe it's like
a great healing practice to journal about it in security
(17:14):
or something that's hurt you in the past, or talk
about it publicly with people. And then cancer season technically
starts on Friday Eastern Time around eleven PM, and also
the moon will shift into Taurus a little before, right
around ten pm Eastern, So even though those are happening
on Friday, they really apply more to Saturday and Sunday
(17:36):
and the rest of the weekend. So let's move on
to Saturday, June twenty first. Okay, so Saturday is the
first full day of cancer season, and cancer season's lasting
until July twenty second, and themes to keep in mind
over that next month will be having a greater focus
on nurturing relationships that you really care about, or turning
(17:58):
your attention to family or responsibilities at home. I feel
like I mentioned all of this when we went over
Jupiter entering cancer last week, So it's really a reiteration
of how important home and immediate neighborhood and relationships that
you put a lot of time and energy into, and
(18:20):
basically like your loved ones, even if that's not literal family,
the people who you surround yourself with and who are
closest to you. Those people will take greater priority over
the next month and also over the next year. With
Jupiter still in this sign too, because all of these
cancer themes are extra amplified this year with Jupiter right
(18:41):
there with the Sun. So this cancer season in particular,
you're feeling this more strongly than you normally would be.
And again, all of these themes. We're going to talk
about him next week too, when we get to the
new moon and cancer on the twenty fifth, because that's
when they'll truly be brought to light, and you'll want
to maybe work on incorporating activities around the home, taking
(19:02):
on responsibilities within your family, maybe taking a closer look
at your past or your childhood and having emotions come
up surrounding family dynamics or the way you are raised,
or an event could be taking place with your parents,
or your siblings or your created family. So that's all
that stuff important to keep in mind over the next month.
(19:24):
Peak date would be June twenty fifth, at that new moon,
and continuing to build upon those themes until July of
twenty twenty six. However, the first couple of days of
cancer season are probably not going to be the easiest,
as the Sun immediately upon entering cancer will once again
build to this square with Saturn and Neptune, and ares
(19:47):
anything entering early cardinal sign placements right now is not
having an easy time because it's immediately met with this
tough Saturn Neptune conjunction. So building this weekend and into
the first couple of days of next week, these feelings
I was just talking about with the moon and ares
now is going to apply to the Sun moving into cancer.
(20:07):
So maybe feeling more sensitive or feeling weighed down in
an area of your life, kind of stuck, frustrated, trapped
into comparison mode. Those may all be recurring themes at
the moment. So if you do feel those difficult feelings,
know that they're going to get easier in a few
days from now or a few days from this coming weekend,
(20:29):
and more work might be required from you at the moment.
But at the same time, maybe you do have these
feelings of not being so motivated or low energy or
confused about the bigger picture and what's the purpose of
all this effort you're putting in now. And that picture
will become clearer with that new moon and in the
several days that follow it. So June twenty fifth onwards,
(20:51):
because that new moon will have a great boost of
support coming from Jupiter in cancer and the squares with
Saturn Neptune will be separating by that time. Meanwhile, on Saturday,
the moon in taurusts now in Taurus for the weekend
is building to a conjunction with Venus and Taurus. This
is super pleasant. We have Venus in the sin it
(21:11):
rules and the moon and the sin It's exalted in
meeting up with each other, and that aspect will go
exact on Saturday night Eastern, So that's going to be
probably the most positive moment of this weekend to Saturday evening.
Saturday night, So maybe try to make plans with people.
That'd be a great time to go on a date,
especially for like Earth or water sign risings. Hopefully this
(21:33):
helps to counteract difficulty brought up by that Sun Neptune
Saturn configuration and the moon, Venus and Taurus points to
how you may want to indulge a it in shopping, eating, out,
treating yourself in other ways, or leaning into some type
of creative activity. So more relaxing weekend hopefully just because
(21:55):
of the moon and Venus. And then we are to Sunday,
June twenty second, that's the day the Sun comes into
that exact square with Saturn and then immediately moves on
to start squaring Neptune. So all that stuff I just
said about feeling a bit more heavy, more emotional, maybe
not as motivated or uncertain about a situation. Could just
(22:16):
feel a bit more, could feel a bit stronger on
Sunday than it did on Saturday. So really try to
be gentle with yourself over these couple of days. You
don't need to have a situation or a relationship problem
all figured out at the moment. More info is coming
to light and the days that follow this coming weekend,
and you will find your footing and more motivation after that.
(22:38):
We literally just need to get to this new moon.
The moon also remains in Taurus all day on Sunday
until about eleven pm when it moves into Gemini. So
again on Sunday we get these turus themes of needing
to slow down a bit, be more present with yourself,
focus on creativity, a hands on activity that really brings
you back to your body and the present moment, get outside,
(23:01):
allow yourself to be lazy. I will say this is
kind of a contradiction to another aspect also building on Sunday,
which is Mars and Virgo, sex styling, Jupiter and cancer.
So this weekend does look like a mixed bag. It's like,
on the one hand, you may be excited about learning
or travel or starting up this new opportunity and growing
and expanding in some way between, especially in the Virgo
(23:24):
worldhouse of your chart. But with some Saddur Neptune, there
may be delays first, or a need to put in
hard effort, or an obstacle to overcome. But Jupiter aspecting
Mars will help to bring out the positive qualities of
the Mars and Virgo transit, so you may be more
(23:45):
hopeful about what you're developing in the Virgo worldhouse of
your chart, or just Virgo themes in general. To take
note of would be being excited to adapt a healthier lifestyle,
or take care of yourself or tend to all of
these tedious small tasks that would normally bother you. Maybe
you have motivation to actually get them done. Okay, that
(24:08):
is where I leave you this week. I hope everyone
has a great next few days, and stay tuned for
Saturn Transit Stories Part two out this Thursday. I promise
Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
your host, Alice Bell, and today is Monday, June sixteenth.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and first week
of Jupiter now officially in Cancer, my Jupiter in the
Twelfth House. Updates have been very I've felt this transit
very literally so far. I went to a funeral this
(00:25):
past week for one of my husband's family members, his
great aunt passed away, and I also severely injured my
foot when I stubbed it against the door, so I
was housebound and couldn't walk really and couldn't explore and
go on my daily walks throughout a lot of last week.
(00:45):
So that was very much that Twelfth House of rest
and isolation. Hopefully the rest of this transit is not
that difficult, but yeah, I'm Marty. It's crazy like how
literal it starts to play out as soon as these
bigger transits began. Looking ahead at the next few days,
we're really going to experience a decline and energy as

taking time to maybe flesh out ideas a bit more
(01:27):

starting on Friday the twentieth, on the night of the
twentieth for Eastern and America and similar time zones for
everyone ahead of America, though cancer season actually starts on

And with that being said, let's get into the astrology
for the week ahead. Okay, we're starting the week off
(03:58):
on Monday, Jun sixteenth. The moon is lingering at the
end of Aquarius at the start of Monday. If you'll recall,
the moon was an Aquarius throughout a lot of this
past weekend, and the moon will be building to an
opposition with Mars in Leo for the first half of
the day Eastern Time on Monday, so more of your

the moon opposing Mars, you could feel more easily irritated
at the start of Monday, especially in your interactions with

(05:04):
extra energy to kick start er week and it's more
of an exciting activity driven Monday than it normally would be.
Right around two pm Eastern on Monday, the moon will
shift into Pisces for the next couple of days, so
that's going to be completely opposite and energy to what
we just experienced in the lead up to two pm.
(05:25):
The moon will also try in Jupiter in Cancer. So
if earlier in the day on Monday feels a bit tense,
then as we move later into the day, afternoon, evening night,
you're gonna feel more relaxed and slowed down, or like
those relationship interactions are coming more easily to you and
there's not as much friction or conflict. So Pisce's moon
themes to keep in mind throughout the rest of Monday,
(05:48):
all day Tuesday, and the majority of Wednesday while the
moon is in the sign will be that you may
have heightened sensitivity and feel a bit more emotional and
kind of want to keep to yourself in order to
process feelings coming up. Or you could be more giving
and compassionate to people, but at the same time, you're
going to want to be aware of the energy around you,
(06:09):
like what types of relationships are you surrounding yourself with,
what type of environment makes you feel good about yourself?
And I just find Pisces makes you ultra sensitive to
that type of thing, and there can be moments where
it feels like a lot and you really need to
take that time to be by yourself to recharge and
get back in your own energy. I would also say
(06:29):
with the moon and Pisces for the next couple of days,
you may be drawn to spirituality more than usual. That
could be journaling, it could be astrology, manifestation, or religion,
whatever that looks like for you, and really tuning into
your own intuition and strengthening that trust you have within
yourself rather than seeking answers from everyone else. And that
(06:51):
leads us into Tuesday, June seventeenth. The moon is still
in Pisces all day, so again we're seeing those themes
we just went over of, maybe only a bit more emotional,
a bit drained, or simply called to a spiritual practice,
even if that's just going for a walk outside by
yourself and being in nature. There are some positive aspects
that will help to boost your mood though on Tuesday,
(07:13):
and that will be that the moon is sextile to
Venus and Taurus, and it'll also be training mercury and cancer.
So this shows how you may be able to productively
communicate your ideas with people, or put your thoughts and
emotions into writing, or schedule meetups with people you feel
comfortable around, like fostering those relationships you really care about
in your life. Because all of these aspects involve the
(07:36):
water and earth signs, it really points to wanting things
to feel familiar and more meaningful, or that a meeting
you're having or a task you're doing serves this practical purpose.
It's not just staying busy and connected with people for
the sake of staying busy and connected. Also happening on
Tuesday is that Mars is moving into Virgo until August
(08:00):
six so Mars has been in Leo. I believe it
was like April eighteenth it moved into Leo, so almost
two months now, yeah, exactly two months. But it's going
to spend less time in Virgo because it's slowly picking
up speed after that retrograde we had earlier on in
the year, so it's spending about six to seven weeks
in Virgo, and that will have you wanting to put
(08:20):
more energy into Virgo related themes like taking better care
of your body. This could be a great little chunk
of time to get back into exercising more regularly or
scheduling doctor's appointments like checking up on your body. I
know how I have a list of doctors I need
to go see because I'm super bad about doing stuff
like that, So definitely going to plan to do that
(08:41):
this summer. Also finding ways to boost productivity at work,
like what tasks really like thinking about what tasks are
worth your time and energy, and how can you better
manage your time or find a greater balance between work
and leisure in your schedule. I would say Mars and
Virgo is great for tending to any bigger projects that
(09:01):
involve a lot of editing or where you have to
keep track of a lot of small details at once.
It's just better for like being more precise with cutting
things out or noticing imperfections. The downside of that, though,
is that there is this perfectionist tendency with Mars and
Virgo to maybe need everything go a certain way before
(09:22):
you can even get started. So maybe try to go
a bit easier on yourself, or remind yourself you don't
need everything to be perfect to jump into a new project,
a new experience, like just go for it and figure
out the details as you move along. What's also really
important about Mars moving into Virgo is that it's moving
(09:43):
into the same sign as the south node in Virgo
because the nodes are currently in Pisces and Virgo, and
that's where the eclipses are taking place this year and next.
And so I always find that when when Mars triggers
the nodes like this, that's when you really start to
see the activity represented by that nod ol transit, that
eighteen month notal transit and that eclipse cycle. That's when
(10:05):
it comes to light and greater activity starts to happen there.
So if we think back to the Virgo lunar eclipse
that took place this past March, that eclipse I feel
like didn't do a lot because it was so it
was opposed by Saturn and Neptune and just everything felt
held back or slowed up again. And now with Mars
(10:25):
moving into Virgo, there's no opposition from Saturn or Neptune
because those are both left Pisces. Mars is free to
really kick up a lot of activity and get you
motivated in that Virgo world house of your chart, and
more is likely to happen there over this next six
weeks than it then occurred back at that lunar eclipse
(10:46):
earlier on in the year, So that's something to be
aware of between now in early August, and it'll also
set the stage for end of August September when we
actually reach Virgo season. And this is kind of getting
off topic for the week, but Virgo season's really interesting
this year because there's two new moons in Virgo. There's
one right at the start of Virgo season that's a
(11:07):
regular new moon, and then at the very end of
Virgo season we get a solar eclipse in Virgo. So
that also just points to how this house and this
sign in your chart is heavily emphasized in the second
half of twenty twenty five, and there's going to be
a lot of development and change that is about to
(11:27):
take place there, and it's being kicked off this week
with Mars entering that sign and that house of your chart. Okay,
Moving right along to Wednesday, June eighteenth. The moon is
in Pisces still for the majority of the day, so
we're again getting a continuation of those themes we've kept
going over for Monday and Tuesday. The moon will also
(11:48):
square the Sun at the end of gem and Ice.
So this Moon Sun square could bring up some type
of frustrating situation that's out of your control or just
a bit of internal tension. And it's not the easiest transit,
and I feel like having it across these mutable signs
means maybe it is asking you to be more adaptable
(12:09):
to change or finding ways to incorporate the thinking side
of yourself, the logical side of your brain, which is
represented by the Sun in Gemini, with the more intuitive
emotional side of yourself, which is represented by the moon
and Pisces, So that could be a bit challenging. The
moon finally leaves Pisces and moves into Aries seven pm
(12:30):
Eastern on Wednesday, and as it moves into Aries, it's
going to immediately conjunct Saturn and Neptune and Aries and
then square Jupiter and Cancer. So this is a bit
tricky to interpret because it's so many aspects the moon
is making it once that kind of all have a
different meaning. On the one hand, I want to say
(12:52):
that you'll have more motivation and energy with the moon
now out of pisces and in aries. But on Wednesday
evenings specifically, there could be this you're feeling kind of
way down or overly sensitive or not just not super motivated,
Like there's this heaviness that is persisting. This will lift
once we get into Thursday, but know that for Wednesday evening,
(13:15):
Wednesday night, maybe you just want to be by yourself
and not push yourself to do too much. And on
a similar note, there's another aspect that's happening on Wednesday,
and that's Jupiter building to an exact square with Neptune
and aries all day. So it's kind of like once
the moon comes into Aries later on Wednesday, it really
triggers this Jupiter Neptune exact square. So in last week's
(13:38):
episode we talked about Jupiter Saturn square. Now Jupiter has
immediately gone on to square Neptune, and I would say
Jupiter aspecting Neptune, it's just going to amplify all of
those Neptunean qualities, like being a bit confused not everything
is as it seems. There might be a lack of
boundaries or being very sensitive. So looking at the ARES
(14:01):
and Cancer World Houses of your chart at the moment,
you could feel low energy, uncertain or dissatisfied with the
way things might be going in these areas, and it
could be hard to see a bigger picture there. On
a more positive note, maybe you don't feel that way,
and this transit is just helping you to incorporate more
(14:22):
of a spiritual approach or your creativity into these two
areas of your life, either the ARES Worldhouse or the
Cancer World House, or you're blending the themes of those
two together. And you also may feel this call to
be connected to something bigger than yourself, because it's like this,
this hope and this sense of faith and spirituality or
(14:44):
religion or whatever you believe in that will be bigger
throughout this week. And it could also have you wanting
to support people you care about or help other people
out within your community or in the world at large.
It's more of this like giving back in compassion. It
energy gets amplified than we are to Thursday, June nineteenth,
(15:05):
the moon is still in aries all day. It's no
longer making those tough aspects to Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter though,
so you're feeling more of the energized, let's get going
type of areas energy where you might be ready to initiate,
but like I said at the start, because it's waning Moon,
getting excited about stuff you want to start next, but
(15:26):
maybe not fully getting into it yet. So keep that
in mind that we're still in the waning moon phase.
So even though you have a lot more enthusiasm, use
it for brainstorming or plotting out your next course of
action that you will initiate. After a twenty fifth I
would say other Aris Moon keywords might be speaking up more,
(15:46):
being more assertive, wanting to be more independent in an
area of your life, and just really taking charge. Not
much else is happening besides that. On Thursday, I would
say probably the Jupiter Neptune stuff we just went over
would still apply there as well, and throughout a large
part of this week, not just for Wednesday. So you
could also apply that to Thursday, Friday into the weekend too,
(16:09):
and in the days leading up to Wednesday. But let's
now move on to Friday, June twentieth, So again we've
got the moon and aries for pretty much the entire day.
On Friday, however, it's going to be squaring mercury and cancer,
and it's going to also be coming up on a
conjunction with chiron and ares. So this may be more
(16:29):
of an emotional Friday. Or you're looking past certain fears
or insecurities you have that you want to work on,
Like maybe that has to do with, oh, you are
scared of a certain situation, or there's some type of
limiting belief you have about yourself and you want to
move past that and expose yourself to the situation that
(16:49):
scares you and build confidence in doing so. Or you
could be looking at a past emotion that keeps coming
up that might still be bothering you, and maybe you
want to like the way you communicate to other people
or write about your emotions and your feelings. That may
feel more emotionally charged on Friday. So maybe it's like
a great healing practice to journal about it in security
(17:14):
or something that's hurt you in the past, or talk
about it publicly with people. And then cancer season technically
starts on Friday Eastern Time around eleven PM, and also
the moon will shift into Taurus a little before, right
around ten pm Eastern, So even though those are happening
on Friday, they really apply more to Saturday and Sunday
(17:36):
and the rest of the weekend. So let's move on
to Saturday, June twenty first. Okay, so Saturday is the
first full day of cancer season, and cancer season's lasting
until July twenty second, and themes to keep in mind
over that next month will be having a greater focus
on nurturing relationships that you really care about, or turning
(17:58):
your attention to family or responsibilities at home. I feel
like I mentioned all of this when we went over
Jupiter entering cancer last week, So it's really a reiteration
of how important home and immediate neighborhood and relationships that
you put a lot of time and energy into, and
(18:20):
basically like your loved ones, even if that's not literal family,
the people who you surround yourself with and who are
closest to you. Those people will take greater priority over
the next month and also over the next year. With
Jupiter still in this sign too, because all of these
cancer themes are extra amplified this year with Jupiter right
(18:41):
there with the Sun. So this cancer season in particular,
you're feeling this more strongly than you normally would be.
And again, all of these themes. We're going to talk
about him next week too, when we get to the
new moon and cancer on the twenty fifth, because that's
when they'll truly be brought to light, and you'll want
to maybe work on incorporating activities around the home, taking
(19:02):
on responsibilities within your family, maybe taking a closer look
at your past or your childhood and having emotions come
up surrounding family dynamics or the way you are raised,
or an event could be taking place with your parents,
or your siblings or your created family. So that's all
that stuff important to keep in mind over the next month.
(19:24):
Peak date would be June twenty fifth, at that new moon,
and continuing to build upon those themes until July of
twenty twenty six. However, the first couple of days of
cancer season are probably not going to be the easiest,
as the Sun immediately upon entering cancer will once again
build to this square with Saturn and Neptune, and ares
(19:47):
anything entering early cardinal sign placements right now is not
having an easy time because it's immediately met with this
tough Saturn Neptune conjunction. So building this weekend and into
the first couple of days of next week, these feelings
I was just talking about with the moon and ares
now is going to apply to the Sun moving into cancer.
(20:07):
So maybe feeling more sensitive or feeling weighed down in
an area of your life, kind of stuck, frustrated, trapped
into comparison mode. Those may all be recurring themes at
the moment. So if you do feel those difficult feelings,
know that they're going to get easier in a few
days from now or a few days from this coming weekend,
(20:29):
and more work might be required from you at the moment.
But at the same time, maybe you do have these
feelings of not being so motivated or low energy or
confused about the bigger picture and what's the purpose of
all this effort you're putting in now. And that picture
will become clearer with that new moon and in the
several days that follow it. So June twenty fifth onwards,
(20:51):
because that new moon will have a great boost of
support coming from Jupiter in cancer and the squares with
Saturn Neptune will be separating by that time. Meanwhile, on Saturday,
the moon in taurusts now in Taurus for the weekend
is building to a conjunction with Venus and Taurus. This
is super pleasant. We have Venus in the sin it
(21:11):
rules and the moon and the sin It's exalted in
meeting up with each other, and that aspect will go
exact on Saturday night Eastern, So that's going to be
probably the most positive moment of this weekend to Saturday evening.
Saturday night, So maybe try to make plans with people.
That'd be a great time to go on a date,
especially for like Earth or water sign risings. Hopefully this
(21:33):
helps to counteract difficulty brought up by that Sun Neptune
Saturn configuration and the moon, Venus and Taurus points to
how you may want to indulge a it in shopping, eating, out,
treating yourself in other ways, or leaning into some type
of creative activity. So more relaxing weekend hopefully just because
(21:55):
of the moon and Venus. And then we are to Sunday,
June twenty second, that's the day the Sun comes into
that exact square with Saturn and then immediately moves on
to start squaring Neptune. So all that stuff I just
said about feeling a bit more heavy, more emotional, maybe
not as motivated or uncertain about a situation. Could just
(22:16):
feel a bit more, could feel a bit stronger on
Sunday than it did on Saturday. So really try to
be gentle with yourself over these couple of days. You
don't need to have a situation or a relationship problem
all figured out at the moment. More info is coming
to light and the days that follow this coming weekend,
and you will find your footing and more motivation after that.
(22:38):
We literally just need to get to this new moon.
The moon also remains in Taurus all day on Sunday
until about eleven pm when it moves into Gemini. So
again on Sunday we get these turus themes of needing
to slow down a bit, be more present with yourself,
focus on creativity, a hands on activity that really brings
you back to your body and the present moment, get outside,
(23:01):
allow yourself to be lazy. I will say this is
kind of a contradiction to another aspect also building on Sunday,
which is Mars and Virgo, sex styling, Jupiter and cancer.
So this weekend does look like a mixed bag. It's like,
on the one hand, you may be excited about learning
or travel or starting up this new opportunity and growing
and expanding in some way between, especially in the Virgo
(23:24):
worldhouse of your chart. But with some Saddur Neptune, there
may be delays first, or a need to put in
hard effort, or an obstacle to overcome. But Jupiter aspecting
Mars will help to bring out the positive qualities of
the Mars and Virgo transit, so you may be more
(23:45):
hopeful about what you're developing in the Virgo worldhouse of
your chart, or just Virgo themes in general. To take
note of would be being excited to adapt a healthier lifestyle,
or take care of yourself or tend to all of
these tedious small tasks that would normally bother you. Maybe
you have motivation to actually get them done. Okay, that
(24:08):
is where I leave you this week. I hope everyone
has a great next few days, and stay tuned for
Saturn Transit Stories Part two out this Thursday. I promise
