Astrological Insights for June 17th- 30th, 2023

 Healing Conversations Circling Solstice

The longest day of light arrives, and Summer stretches across the land. The astrology is quite active over the next few weeks, especially with bringing ease and opportunity for creating the conversations you've needed to have. It's also a supportive time to take steps towards something you want to grow in your life.

6/17/23 - 6/18/23
Mercury Sextile Venus
New Moon in Gemini 9:37 PM, PDT


June 17th and 18th brings New Moon energy with Mercury and Venus making a positive Sextile with each other. Mercury influences our communication, internal mental processing, intentions, and conscious focus. During this transit, Mercury's connection with Venus opens the energy for having pleasant conversations. Mercury is in Gemini, its natural rulership, and creates more emphasis on conversational engagements with others. The New Moon in Gemini adds more layers of this Mercurial mind-stimulating energy as Mercury rules Gemini.   

Based on the astrological energy during the week leading up to the 17th, you may have felt more restrictions around communications. If this is true for you, the 17th and 18th will be good days to open up and engage in conversations you’ve wanted to hold that have been blocked recently. This time also brings good energy to start new conversations, especially with the New Moon on the 17th.

The strong energy of the Gemini New Moon not only activates your mind’s capacity for communication but also brings out the flexible multi-tasker in you. You may find yourself in various activities and tasks over the weekend with the potential to feel more scattered. If you find yourself flitting about and feeling a bit ungrounded, then I encourage you to take a moment, recalibrate and reset. Overall, it can be an enjoyable, social weekend. 

6/19/23 - 6/29/23
Jupiter Sextile Saturn

On June 19, Jupiter will come into a Sextile aspect with Saturn, which will last until the end of the month. Jupiter Sextile Saturn creates an opportune time for ease and stimulation towards being productive towards the things you want to expand upon in your life. Saturn allows focus and dedication; Jupiter opens the optimism and growth for more things. Sextiles stimulate each of the planet's highest qualities to open up in you. 

Jupiter creates a great sense of abundantly available energy with where you place your focus. Although the summer’s coming in and playful adventures are on the rise, I recommend utilizing the last two weeks of June to see what’s been in your field of focus to grow in your life and put some dedicated attention towards it. You may find your actions successfully get you to the next place. You may find real benefit comes from brainstorming sessions and taking steps towards your goals in the last weeks of June; this could prove especially helpful in your overall life plans.

Summer Solstice - Sun in Cancer
Mercury Sextile Mars
Mercury Sextile Chiron

The Summer Solstice is on June 21, when the Sun enters Cancer. This year’s longest day of light is accompanied by Mercury making a Sextile with Mars and Chiron. This could be a day for supportive communication and healing conversations. You may find yourself saying or hearing the things that move things forward around current situations in your life. 

Mars urges us to act toward what we want to be doing. When Mercury stimulates Mars, it can bring ease in communicating directly and powerfully. Chiron physically orbits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and astrologically, it influences the energy of the wounded healer. When stimulated by Mercury, conversations open up to repair what needs mending between you and another.​

6/24/23 - 6/28/23
Mars Square Uranus

During the 24th - 28th, Mars makes a square with Uranus, which can open you up to more impulsive actions throughout your day. Square aspects from planets create internal impulses to respond to circumstances in a certain way that can seem like they are coming from the unconscious. You may feel sudden urges to go in a different direction or do something you weren’t planning on doing without much thought. These quick decisions, although impulsive, can create big feelings of freedom when you follow them. 

While Mars and Uranus are in a square during the 24th - 28th, and you notice yourself in a tight situation that feels too restrictive to your being, you may end up wanting to just quickly break out of it.

However…

Be aware of this energy. Moving too quickly is often how accidents happen. There’s a higher probability of being accident-prone during this Mars/Uranus transit. During the 24th - 28th, notice any sudden urges to make a movement emerging from within, pause and bring to consciousness any patterns around doing rash and impulsive things just to break free. Slow down and proceed with more awareness of your next best steps, and all the while, be open to freeing yourself from the restrictive circumstances you are finding yourself in.  Listen to your inner promptings and be embodied!

6/29/23 - 6/30/23
Venus Trine Chiron
Mercury Trine Saturn

The month ends with Venus making a positive Trine with Chiron on the 29th and 30th, which opens you up to flowing with opportunities for healing in your relationships. Venus’s energy influences our sense of feeling ease and lovingness in relationships, and Chiron points to what needs healing. 

In addition to the Venus/Chiron transit, Mercury will be Trining Saturn, creating opportunities for getting grounded in real conversations that can add to the healing layers. Mercury influences our communication pathways and mental processes, while Saturn lets us see what’s practical and realistic. When Saturn influences the mind, you can clear through what’s not so important to focus on what needs restructuring in your life so you can align more with who you are and your purpose. Saturn Trine to Mercury easily offers focus and concentration.
