Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
your host, Alice Bell in today's Monday, June twenty third.
Before we get into the astrology for the week ahead,
I have kind of a bittersweet announcement. This is the
last weekly forecast that I will be doing. I am
taking the next two months off of this podcast, so

(00:23):
all of July and August, and I will be back
to podcasting right at the start of September, but things
will look different here. So I'm entirely changing the format
of this podcast and the type of content I put
out there. And just for some context, I'm like why
I'm doing this and feel like I need a change.
I've been doing this weekly forecast format for almost two

(00:46):
years now. I started it right in the lead up
to a Libra's solar eclipse in my Third House and
sharing about the transits each week while I had those
Third House eclipses go on. Over the last two years,
it felt very in line with Third House themes, like
I was giving you practical, straightforward information that concerns the

(01:08):
day to day topics of your life. And I've loved
hearing and receiving messages about how this podcast has become
part of your Monday routine, and I'm sad that it
won't be that way any longer. But in the lead
up to all of these planets changing signs, I just
felt called to change the way I was teaching astrology,

(01:30):
and I felt very burned out putting out the same
type of content week after week. And now with Jupiter,
Saturn and your honest changing signs moving into different houses
in my chart, and the same goes for all of
you two, especially with Jupiter in my twelfth now and
Saturn in my ninth, I'm wanting to share astrology in

(01:50):
a way where I do have greater creative freedom and
the content I put out there feels more meaningful to me,
and I can teach about the astrology topic and really
get it into the nitty gritty of specific areas of
astrology that I'm passionate about. And also Uranness is now
moving into my eleventh and I just want to find

(02:10):
new ways to connect with my audience. So I have
spent the last year, i would say, reflecting on what
type of astrology info really resonates the most with me, Like,
what does my contribution to the astrological community need to
be or what I want it to look like. And

(02:33):
I always go back to the type of astrology that
is missing out there and that I would have loved
to have when I was first getting into this. So
I just kind of went back and I noticed I
love learning about topics that aren't really discussed often that
involve these very specific phases of your life. Like I

(02:53):
have a great book on the astrology of midlife and
Aging by Aaron Sullivan if you want to read about that,
very good book. I find that type of topic so fascinating,
Like how does astrology correlate with people getting older and
entering these different phases of their life, Like I want
to talk about Saturn phases, I want to talk about

(03:14):
Jupiter returns, I want to talk about the astrology of
navigating career transitions. I want to talk about the astrology
becoming a parent. All of this stuff or ideas I
really want to build upon in the future, and that's
why I'm changing the way I run this podcast, So

(03:34):
prepare for that type of content. How astrology shows up
in these real ways in your life and describes phases
you're going through. That's what I'll be back with come September.
I'm slowing down with work during this summer with this
twelfth House Jupiter, I really want to give myself a
break and space to explore more of what I want

(03:55):
to do moving forward. I'm still going to be posting
regularly on sub stack, though I will never move away
from that, so you can always find me there with
monthly in depth horoscopes as well as teaching upon two
other niche astrology topics a month. I just put out
the in depth Cancer Season monthly horoscopes last Friday, so
if you want to know what all of the transits

(04:17):
are for this month and what they mean for your
rising sign, check that out on my substack, also called
Astrology with Alice. The content there will be changing slightly too.
I won't be offering the written outline of this podcast
anymore because we're not doing the weekly forecast, but I
will be starting up a subscriber chat where I answer
astrology questions you have for me regularly, and I'm also

(04:40):
going to be offering more online workshops there too, and
paid subscribers to subsac are also the only people who
currently have access to book a reading with me, But
other than that, you can also find me. I do
weekly horoscopes on British Fogue every single Sunday on Vogue
dot co dot uk. And yeah, thank you to everyone

(05:01):
who listens to this podcast And this is not goodbye.
This wi is just see you soon, be back in September. Okay,
with all of that being said, let's just jump right
into the breakdown for the week ahead. So we're starting
the week off on Monday, June twenty third. Just to
give some like overall context for this week, we are

(05:23):
in the lead up to a new moon in cancer
which will go exact early Eastern time on June twenty fifth.
So the whole first half of the week before we
get to that new moon will be lower energy. And
this is also a time where you're really going within
a bit more and doing more inner reflection, like what
do you want to start putting energy into next? What

(05:45):
are goals you want to set for yourself. So if
you do feel low energy just not super motivated for
the next couple of days, don't worry. You're going to
rEFInd your footing and get greater clarity on what comes
next once we get past the twenty fifth. So starting
on Monday, the sun in cancer has now cleared its

(06:05):
square with Saturn and Neptune, and it's applying to an
exact conjunction with Jupiter and cancer. And also we have
the Moon and Gemini all day, so first let's break
down the Sun Jupiter aspect. This is great for feeling
more optimistic, uplifted and excited to learn and shift your
perspective on life. So I really do like the start

(06:27):
of this week, even though it's low energy. So on
Monday and also on Tuesday, you may feel called to
further your education on a specific subject, or maybe you
have inspiration for ways you want to share your ideas
through writing or speaking related work, like how can you
share your knowledge with other people? That could be a
big theme. I would say this is a great transit

(06:48):
for travel too, or exploring outside of your usual routine.
And note how in the cancer ruled house of your chart,
how are you having greater faith that things will work
out there for you? And maybe there's less heaviness than
there was in the lead up to this week there,
and you're feeling the urge to grow and expand more
in this part of your life, Like whatever is felt limiting,

(07:11):
you're going to want to move past that and find
ways to have greater freedom in this area. And one
other thing I'll say for Sun Jupiter is that Jupiter
is very much a planet associated with spirituality and bigger
picture in life. So you may be turning to some
type of spiritual practice at the start of this week,
or just feel more connected to your faith and your

(07:33):
beliefs in the world. I would also say so returning
again to the moon being in Gemini on Monday, this
I would normally say would be a more social moon
phase where you want to have more interactions with people. However,
we do have to keep in mind that we're only
two days out from a new moon taking place. So
even if you do have social plans set up or

(07:55):
you want to reach out to friends, get something on
the calendar, just expect it to not be so busy.
Like think low key, easy plans with friends that don't
require a lot of effort on your part, and it
could just be that you just want to text someone,
just check in on how a friend or partner or
someone else is doing. There's just not a lot of
energy here to attend a huge group event or something

(08:19):
like that. Like if you are doing that, maybe you
feel more drained by those types of settings. Moving on
to Tuesday, June twenty fourth, Tuesday is a continuation of
all of these same themes from Monday, so the Sun
Jupiter conjunction in cancer goes exact. So you're still feeling
that growth or opportunity or just wanting to lean further

(08:43):
into the area of your life represented by the cancer
or ruldhouse in your chart. So just to give some
examples of what that might look like, maybe if you're
a Libre rising, you're feeling this urge to grow and
expand in your career, or you're having faith that everything
is going to work out with your overall life direction
and you have these bigger goals you want to start

(09:03):
working towards. Whereas for Leo risings like me and kind
of what I was going over in the intro, this
is very much a time of wanting to slow down,
wanting to rest and honestly finding peace in that rest
and taking it easy. And then for another rising sign
like a Capricorn rising, having this conjunction in your seventh house,
maybe that gives you a lot of optimism surrounding close

(09:26):
relationships and relationships, acting as your biggest teacher at the moment,
or taking more of an open minded approach to dating
and forming new connections with people. On Tuesday, the moon
is still in Gemini, but it's void, of course, so
maybe you're not feeling so productive once again, Just kind

(09:46):
of allow yourself to slow down and relax at the
start of this week, and there's a way you can
still lean into those Gemini themed moon activities that feel fun.
So maybe reading, catching up with a friend, brainstorming ideas
just for your own pleasure, not putting a lot of
pressure on yourself to be super productive or make something

(10:06):
of these ideas. Quite yet, there's just not a lot
of momentum or energy to back new ventures at the moment,
so use this time to think, reflect what you're supposed
to do with that knowledge will come soon. And on
that same note, Tuesday night would be a great time
to be by yourself a bit more set some new

(10:29):
moon intentions. Really think about what are habits, mindsets, partnerships,
opportunities or goals that you want to set and keep
in mind over the next few weeks as you work
towards those things. So let's now move on to Wednesday,
June twenty fifth, when the energy does pick up a bit,
so the moon moves into cancer right before midnight Eastern

(10:54):
and then the new moon will occur. New moon and
cancer will occur right at six thirty am Eastern on
Whennesday morning. And this new moon is taking place at
four degrees of cancer, and it's in pretty much an
exact alignment with Jupiter in this sign. Jupiter's at three degrees,
the new moon's at four. Super nice lunation. Having this
influence of Jupiter in a sign it's exalted in. And

(11:16):
people with early degree cardinals sign chart placements, So chart
placements I would say between let's say zero to five
degrees zero to six degrees of Aries Libra cancer Capricorn,
you'll feel the impact of this new moon the most.
But for everyone, you're going to want to look at
the cancer worldhouse of your chart and note how is

(11:37):
a new beginning happening there, or how might you be
shedding something first in this part of your life in
order to move forward differently, And note how new opportunities
begin to take hold in this area over the coming days.
And you can blend these general themes of cancer like
I mean, we've been over these themes so much over

(11:59):
the last few weeks. But to reiterate there is a
greater emphasis on home and family and tending to relationships
that feel more nurturing or spending greater time at home.
I would also say cancer season is a very nostalgic time.
It shows up in weird ways, like I've been I
read a memoir about Blink one eighty two and it

(12:22):
got me so nostalgic for childhood and just wanting to
listen to music from that era of like late nineties,
early two thousands. So even in ways you may not
like think are that obvious, it's just there's more reflection
on the past at this time, or tending to activities
and responsibilities that have to do with your home or

(12:43):
your family, or your network that feels as close as family.
So bringing all of those themes and also this theme
of needing a greater emotional connection and like at this
deeper feeling into the cancer worldhouse of your chart. So
reflect on what are ways you can have deeper meaning
in that part of your life or have more of

(13:05):
a nurturing quality there. And this new moon will also
be sex style to mars in Virgo, so this also
gives you this little boost of energy to get started
on something new Maybe you do feel a bit more
productive on Wednesday than you have in a while. We're
coming off of this new Moon energy all day on
Wednesday still, so see how you notice the shift and

(13:26):
going from being super tired or maybe more emotional for
the first two days of this week to now moving
into the second half of the week, you're ready to
get started with something new. Okay, let's move on to Thursday,
June twenty six. The moon remains in Cancer all day again,
still coming off the new Moon energy. The moon will

(13:47):
be sextile to Venus and Taurus on Thursday, so I
see this as another pleasant, productive day, less emotionally intense.
If you had a lot of feelings come up right
around the new Moon, I would say Thursday could be
a good day for seeing people are collaborating in some
capacity or just still wanting to tend to activities around
the home. So the moon making this connection with Venus

(14:12):
a planet in Taurus, could be great for relaxing, cooking,
doing gentle exercise. Even I kind of feel a bit
repetitive at this point, but the overall vibe for this
week is really not doing a lot, but keeping track
of what ideas are coming to you and how you
can continue to incorporate them into your life and build

(14:32):
upon them even more. Next week, the major transit for
Thursday that I want to spend some time on is
that Mercury is moving into Leo and it'll be in
this sign for a while until September second. So we
just go back a bit. Mercury only spent about like
two and a half weeks in Cancer, it only spent
two weeks in Gemini, so the fact that it's about

(14:53):
to spend over two months in Leo is a big deal.
And this is because Mercury is about to station retrograde
later on this summer or I guess winter if you're
in another hemisphere. But this is from July eighteenth to
August eleventh will be the next mercury retrograde entirely in Leo.
And so we're about to get this extended period where

(15:15):
you may be restructuring or rethinking topics related to the
Leo world house of your chart. That retrograde is still
a ways away. It's still three weeks out from starting,
so until we get closer to that, maybe you are
wanting to shift your focus in learning just towards Leo
related themes in general, or just the topics of that
house and you're more excited to explore and learn there.

(15:38):
Mercury and Leo in general is a great transit for
creative thinking and tending to fun activities for your own
pleasure and finding new ways to express yourself. So really
leaning into like reading for pleasure, engaging in I don't know,
like games, like recreational activities, I don't know what that

(15:59):
would look like for you, Just finding ways to have
fun and like let your mind not need to be
so on and productive all of the time. This could
also be a moment where you want to return to
childhood hobbies even or just stay true to what your
own interests are. And we can blend that fun creative
energy with the topics of the Leo world house of

(16:19):
your charts. So for Scorpio rising with Leo ruling your
tenth house, finding ways to bring this creative thinking into
career related projects or if you have a Gemini rising,
Leo rules your third house, So finding ways to bring
this into maybe the way you write, or the way
you communicate with people, or possibly travel. And I mentioned

(16:42):
like Mercury Retroga is starting July eighteenth and because it
is upcoming, though we're not quite there yet. There could
be an element of these house topics that does still
feel a bit uncertain already, or you're kind of rethinking, restrategizing,
how do I actually want to go about that area
of my life? And am I happy with the way

(17:03):
things are moving along there at the moment. So if
you do feel this sense of uncertainty or what's the
bigger picture or how can I restructure something there, know
that you won't get that final answer or the overall
bigger picture until the retrograde lifts August eleventh. So just

(17:25):
going back to those two examples I just gave, like
the Scorpio rising with the Leo tenth house and Mercury
moving through that and preparing to go retrograde there, it's
like you're putting all this brainstorming and thinking into career
goals or bigger work projects, but maybe there's something that
still feels a bit off there, or you're wanting to

(17:45):
change up what your long term goals are in your career,
but you're unsure of what exactly you want to pursue
in the long term. Whereas maybe for the Gemini Rising
with the Leo third house. There could be a different
way you want a community, you want to communicate your
ideas to people, whether that's through social media content or

(18:06):
like through presentations at work, or like how you communicate
in your personal relationships, and that's going through a bigger
period of transformation. So just keep that in mind that
like whatever you're seeing pop up in that Leo World
house of your chart is not the end result yet,
and you're going to spend the next a little over
two months rethinking and coming up with a new way

(18:30):
forward there. Okay, let's now move on to Friday, June
twenty seventh. The moon moves into Leo a little after
two am Eastern, So the moon's in Leo pretty much
all day on Friday, and it's going to meet up
with Mercury there immediately upon entering Leo, emphasizing all those
themes of creative thinking, doing things for your own pleasure,
or finding new ways to express yourself or communicate differently.

(18:55):
So all of that gets further emphasize on Friday, and
expect a fun energy headed into this week. It's not
really work intensive. We're still not that far out from
the new Moon having just happened, so there's not a
ton of busyness in the month quite yet, and you
may want to just schedule a fun activity for yourself,
like taking a summer Friday, or stepping out of your

(19:15):
ordinary routine and trying out a new type of experience,
like take yourself to a coffee shop you've been dying
to try out, or maybe a museum where the exhibit
was resonating with you, or get something on the schedule
with friends, even if that's just like grabbing a drink
after work, it's really the start of this weekend is

(19:36):
like returning to that playful spirit of your inner child.
So that's all I have to say for Friday. Let's
move on to the weekend. Now we are to Saturday,
June twenty eighth. The moon remains in Leo all day.
So the themes we just went over of finding more
ways to be playful, leaning into leisure activities or things
you want to do just for you and because you

(19:57):
find them to be fun, not for any other reason.
It's this weekend, or at least the start of it,
is about returning to you and your core interests. I
would also say the moon and Leo could be a
great lunar transit for romance, like maybe you want to
go on a date this weekend or find ways to
be a bit more romantic with your partner. This is

(20:18):
also due to the fact that by Saturday night, the
moon will have moved into a square with Venus in Taurus.
So this shows how there's more emotion tighten with these
social or dating interactions, and maybe you are opening up
to someone you're seeing or a close friend. Another interpretation
of this clash between Venus and Taurus and the moon

(20:40):
and Leo could be that you're spending money on fun
experiences or areas like fashion, art, beauty, kind of indulging
on Saturday. And then we are wrapping up the week
on Sunday, June twenty ninth, with the moon moving into
Virgo a little after eight am Eastern so times, so
it's ahead of this sometimes it's ahead of America. And

(21:02):
notice how you may see the themes we're about to
go over go into effect maybe halfway through your Sunday
or closer to the end of your Sunday, but having
the moon and Virgo will urge you to get back
to the practical details of your life. And we're also
now a few days out from the new moon, so
there's likely going to be more to do with the
moon now in this sex style with Sun and Jupiter

(21:24):
and cancer. So maybe you have a to do list
that you want to check items off of on Sunday,
or you could want to spend the day cleaning or
organizing or really getting into the swing of any healthy
habits you may have set for yourself recently. That's a
big theme for the next several weeks with Mars also
in this sign of Virgo, and the moon is quickly

(21:45):
approaching Mars on Sunday, So on the one hand, it's
like you will want to be more productive, but the
way this could show up kind of challenging is that
you may feel anxious or on edge, or that you
can't relax unless you're doing something. So try not to
put a ton of pressure perfectionist tendencies on yourself. It

(22:06):
could be helpful to carve out time to do work
ahead of the next week, or run errands, tend to
other responsibilities that may help to calm you down. But yeah,
just be mindful of not being so self critical if
you're not doing everything at once. And that is it
for this week, and it's a wrap on weekly forecasts.

(22:27):
I hope everyone has a great next week, honestly great
next couple of months. Try to find ways to make
space for your own changes that may need to happen
in your life too during this time because the astrology
going on right now, it's no joke like it is
asking you to change certain elements of your life depending
on where these planets are moving into for you. But

(22:48):
I'll see everyone back here in September, just in time
for a clip season. Bye,
