While Saturn continues to settle back into the Scorpio sign again this week, Sun and Mars will change signs. A much more watery feel to the week ensues at it progresses. Mercury direct in his home sign, Gemini, becomes the only planet to manifest via an air sign. The air energy is well represented, however, by Mercury’s logic and step-by-step approach to problem solving. Mars is enervated in Cancer, or perhaps better said, out of place in the Cancer sign, but he is still Mars! Protective and defensive qualities emerge in the quest to obtain desires.
Venus and Jupiter form the nicest of conjunctions all week, and the greatest unity between the two occurs at the end of the week. Jupiter’s benevolence and Venus’ ease march in a lockstep fashion in the fiery Leo sign. This week has its share of change, but the influence of Venus and Jupiter, and a more placid Mars, encourages looking at the brighter side of events. Saturn and Neptune (and Chiron) are retrograde. Structure, spirituality, and forging your own path tend to have an all or nothing feel, another piece of this week’s complicated puzzle in the transits.
What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.
Aries
Saturn might feel restrictive this week, but other influences contribute to Aries Sun’s week. The sense of Saturn’s structure can work in your favor, along with an elevated sense of being able to assert yourself and use your will to obtain what you want, a theme continuing from last week. This theme drops off in the middle of the week, and resumes on June 25. The end of the week feels different than the beginning of it for Aries…Mars entering Cancer signals a change in focus to operating from a home base and establishing a feeling of security. The middle of the week is promising for Aries. A combination of persistence and endurance, mighty force, and multiplication of efforts can be fruitful if Saturn’s demands of creating structure and using discipline are met. This theme lasts from about June 20 to June 23. Final thought for Aries: can being independent accomplish more for you this week?
Taurus
The change theme affects Taurus Sun this week. Changes might also be abrupt, but Jupiter’s influence helps you to land on your feet, generally speaking. Creative projects are best handled on June 19 and 20. June 21 to 23 has potential for using organization, leadership, and focus to move your projects and goals forward. Use of the mind is emphasized all week for Taurus. Prudent risk-taking, competitive situations, and taking action tend to characterize your efforts this week. Having Jupiter’s optimism and expansion at your disposal can help make this a productive and active week. Final thought for Taurus: one of Taurus’ strengths this week is insight into what is fair in a given situation.
Gemini
Saturn’s waning influence basically disappears by the end of the week. However, his structure and discipline work well in career endeavors throughout most of the week. Difficult work on personal or professional projects that require sustained effort are best handled before June 23. Using your expertise and narrowing your focus to your area of specialization can be a useful theme for you, from June 20 to 22. June 23 to 25 is favorable for more abstract problem solving and working to attain insight and understanding into various issues or tasks. The change theme enters the picture at the end of the week for Gemini. Handling Pluto’s demand for transformation can be demanding, with Neptune also of influence for Gemini throughout the week. Neptune’s murky influence is very direct this week, but after this week he will start fading from the picture for Gemini. Bear in mind the better qualities of Neptune – imagination and creativity – are also accessible if you make the effort. Final thought for Gemini: Gemini can benefit from taking a wide perspective and looking at the big picture this week.
Cancer
The Venus-Jupiter conjunction starts the week off for you nicely. The ‘harmonious expansion’ theme is a strong plus for Cancer Sun on June 19 and 20. Also watch for close relationships having the Venus-Jupiter influence on June 20. June 21 to 23 are more work-oriented, and June 21 can be particularly productive if you manage to combine thought and creativity well. Relationships again become a focus at the end of the week. Nurturing qualities are elevated for Cancer on June 24, as is your potential to think through problems in a logical manner, gather information, and communicate effectively. Mars entering your Sun’s sign signals an increase in drive, will, and ambition. By the way, happy solar return this month! Final thought for Cancer: forming alliances can be productive this week.
Leo
The start of the week can feel heavy for Leo Sun. June 19 and 20 might feel like a test of stamina. However, persistence and determination helps Leo to shine brightly at the beginning of the week. A sense of endurance helps you to use your power and expand your efforts. Drive, will, and ambition are also strong on June 19 and 20, and picks up as a theme again on June 24 and 25. As the week closes, it has a more spiritual feel for you. June 24 and 25 is an opportunity to look at the past objectively, even if it’s unpleasant, in order to experience renewal and move forward with a different viewpoint. A more watery type week for your fiery Sun. Final thought for Leo: searching for the “root cause” of a problem can be effective this week!
Virgo
Looking forward works well for Virgo Sun this week. The tension between Mercury in his other home sign, and your Virgo Sun, can make this a week of accomplishment. Mercury’s penchant for gathering information and your talent for analysis makes you a quintessential go-to person at work and other areas of life. Virgo would be wise to pay attention to self-care this week as well. Dealing with authority figures and specialists is a theme for you from June 20 to 22. Reaching a large audience with your ideas works well on June 23 and 24, as does tackling demanding intellectual problems. Neptune is still heavily influential for Virgo this week. Efforts made to untangle problems step-by-step, and using communication effectively, help to mitigate Neptune’s fog, while encouraging his more useful qualities – envisioning the future and becoming attuned to a greater collective. Final thought for Virgo: Nurturing qualities are elevated this week.
Libra
Being spontaneous this week helps to mitigate Uranus’ abrupt shocks for Libra Sun. Uranus is influential all week for Libra, but utilizing his innovative qualities and immense knowledge seems to be a fair tradeoff for the potential disruptions. Your airy Sun has an appropriate role as an ‘ideas person’ this week. This week has a more leisurely feel, because you’re outside of Saturn’s direct influence and directly within Jupiter’s. The airy theme, especially until about June 22, works well for you at work or in other situations that demand use of the mind. Concentrating energy on work and using leadership and organizational skills is a useful theme for you from June 21 to 23. Final thought for Libra: no additional comments for Libra this week.
Scorpio
Relationships are a subtle influence for Scorpio Sun all week. Use of the mind also becomes a subtle theme for Scorpio at the end of the week, in an otherwise quiet week for you. Sun and Mars entering a watery sign is of interest. Your basic identity tends to flow well with planets in the other water signs. Sun and Mars together in Cancer by the end of the week has a strong impact on Scorpio. Mars is an influential planet for Scorpio Sun, and the core of the solar system in a water sign might feel revitalizing. Venus’ ease mixed with a shift to a watery focus in the transits gives the idea of ‘refreshing rest’ for Scorpio this week. Saturn is settling back into your Sun’s sign as well. The Mars-Saturn shifts give the sense of using that Scorpio intensity to surmount obstacles and obtain what you want or need despite the difficulties. How the week turns out seems to be largely up to you. “Enjoyable challenges” can bring together the best of all worlds. Just for Scorpio: be aware that competitors might have access to information that you do not.
Sagittarius
Close relationships are a plus this week, but the effect is beginning to wane for Sagittarius Sun. Still quite an uplifting influence, especially with Venus’ harmony also in force for you. Sagittarius has the strongest relationships theme of all of the signs this week. Of interest, despite the emphasis on relationships, you may feel an underlying call to be more of a free spirit. Generating creative ideas, especially in competitive or pressing situations, is also a useful theme that lasts throughout the week. The week might feel lacking in intensity for you, especially after Mars changes signs on June 24. Projects and tasks requiring active ambition and drive are best completed before June 24. Final thought for Sagittarius: can you find a way to surpass limitations imposed by other people this week?
Capricorn
This can be a very ambitious and goal-centered week for Capricorn. Mars changing signs affects you strongly. Mars will be opposite of your Sun’s sign at the end of the week. Your Sun opposite Mars by sign suggests heightened motivation and will to succeed, if that is how you want to use the energies. This is also the second week of a relatively long theme for you. Looking sharp, winning people over, and increasing your status is a favorable potential for you at this time. Another relatively long theme mixes in with the expansive type theme. Being steady, persistent, and having endurance helps propel you forward with your goals. Be aware, however, of going in circles or being caught in a rut. If you feel stuck, seeking a benefactor or mentor (the Venus/Jupiter influence) can be of benefit. Final thought for Capricorn: in situations involving giving advice, consider whether the other person is receptive to it.
Aquarius
The Venus-Jupiter “harmonious expansion” theme works well for Aquarius Sun this week. Close relationships are also of benefit to Aquarius this week, generally speaking. Pluto’s persistent influence is still affecting Aquarius, but you have a bit of a break due to Pluto going retrograde. Expending the effort to increase your personal power still has potential for you, however. Look for opportunities to network or emotionally connect with someone on June 25. The shift in emphasis from air to water in the heavens might not be so bad for the water bearer! If emotions outweigh thought a bit too much this week, you can rely on Mercury at home in the airy Gemini sign to bring logic and thought back into the equation. Final thought for Aquarius: how might combining the power of emotion and thought show you the light – as in finding your path when you’re at a crossroads?
Pisces
Venus’ ease and harmony has a nice influence on Pisces Sun at the beginning of the week. The shift to an emphasis on water in the transits also isn’t bad – intuition and creativity tend to increase for your watery Sun. Drive and ambition starts to increase for Pisces at the end of the week. Use of logic and thought, despite the watery shift, is strong for you this week, with a tradeoff of demanding a lot of work and effort in order to take advantage of Mercury’s problem solving abilities. June 21 to June 23 is opportune for dedicating yourself to work, and the Venus type theme that stops as quickly as it starts this week subtly repeats during this time frame. Overall, look forward to favorable changes as the week progresses. Final thought for Pisces: developing the mind through solving puzzles is an effective pastime this week.
