The stellium of planets in Gemini, Mars, Sun, and Mercury, squaring the mighty Neptune, continues to roil the transits at the beginning of the week. Yet, the beginning of the week also signals the start of combined ease and abundance, with Venus entering Leo, the sign in which Jupiter currently resides. Saturn edges very closely to the Scorpio sign by week’s end, and makes a strong opposition to Mercury retrograde in his home sign. Smoother aspects among planets in the transits by the end of the week helps to allow advantages based on disciplined thought, networking with authority figures, and structuring communication well, even with both Saturn and Mercury retrograde.
Sun and Mars, sharing some similar functions, form a double minor grand trine with Jupiter and Uranus for most of the week. Pushing projects and goals forward, through use of innovative ideas and an optimistic demeanor, is quite a contrast to the previous theme of the last two weeks, finding the “opportunities in the difficulties”. This week is about opportunities without many of the previous difficulties!
What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.
Aries
`A sense of conscious perspectives starts the week for Aries Sun. Conscious insight is a strong potential for you all week. The “opportunities without the difficulties theme” is probably strongest for your sign. A sense of optimism and flashes of insight can help you move forward this week, if you are determined to use your will, drive, and initiative to obtain what you want. By and large, you are free of Neptune’s influence after the beginning of the week. While escaping Neptune’s fog directly can be of benefit with Mercury still retrograde, creative projects are best handled at the beginning of the week. Close relationships, given a bit of care and attention, can also be a source of support for Aries this week. Final thought for Aries: consider whether allowing another person to take the lead, personally or professionally, would be the best strategy this week.
Taurus
Venus, your Sun’s ruler, entering a new sign keeps the week interesting for Taurus Sun. A feeling of structure is present for you all week, strongest at the week’s beginning. While a feeling of restriction might linger throughout the week from various sources, it can also be a focused, industrious week of accomplishment. Projects have greater potential for success and multiplication on June 5. Use of logic and step-by-step problem solving is also a plus for Taurus this week; Mercury’s strong retrograde denotes possibilities for a well-done final product, given the effort to polish and perfect it. June 8 to 10 might bring a difficult look at cold, hard reality, however, those three days also have potential for cathartic experiences and shedding what is no longer necessary. Final thought for Taurus: does something in your life warrant a fresh start this week?
Gemini
Transiting Sun is stretching from the middle of your Sun’s sign into the last decan of Gemini this week. Both Mars and Mercury in your sign for so long have created a nice “energetic thought” type theme during your solar return. Even with Mercury’s retrograde mischief, this has been an opportunity for you to use logic and thought to your benefit, closely attuned to your conscious desire to gather knowledge, network, and socialize, and the retrograde with Mercury in his home sign continues to present opportunities for Gemini Sun this week. Neptune also continues to present various challenges, but looking for inspiration and using his creativity (and even reaching for a connection with a greater collective) are potentially rewarding benefits from Neptune, given the determination and effort. You share the cathartic-type theme with Taurus this week, from June 9 to 11. Reality might feel cold and hard at times, however, delving into past issues with a sense of perspective and renewed understanding can be a powerful way to move forward. Just for Gemini: closure is desirable, but be certain to take care of loose ends.
Cancer
The week quickly starts with Saturn’s demands. Accomplishing what you need to do on June 5 might help with feelings of restriction or heavy-handed influences from authority figures. Cancer Sun’s week just as quickly turns to embracing the Venus/Jupiter theme of ease and abundance. Enjoy an elevated sense of harmony and mirth on June 6 and June 7. Neptune’s influence takes over on June 8; paying attention to understanding what is spoken and heard, and thoroughly perusing written communication, is critical for Cancer Sun (especially on June 9). While Neptune offers opportunities for reaching spirit and using the imagination, be aware of conflicts and incongruent objectives with other people on June 9 and 10. Cancer has an opportunity to start fresh and initiate new projects and goals on June 11 and 12, rounding out a roller-coaster ride type of week. Final thought for Cancer: protective qualities, already a strong suit for Cancer, are elevated this week.
Leo
This week entails a poignant theme for Leo Sun of passion, will, ambition, and drive. Additionally, June 5 to 7 have an additional theme of “expanding power”. This can be your week to really shine! June 6 and 7 are Leo’s days to show leadership and take the initiative, especially at work. While the week might feel tumultuous, it can also be fun and spontaneous. Watch for opportunities to generate and use brilliant ideas and flashes of insight this week, with a peak day on June 10. Close relationships also become a plus from June 9 until the end of the week. Neptune’s fog and delusions have influence at the beginning of the week for Leo, but this lifts before the end of the week. Leo has a potentially productive and happy week. Make the most of it! Final thought for Leo: when faced with a puzzle or problem this week, how will seeking unity solve it?
Virgo
This week largely boils down to work for Virgo Sun, or at least working with authority and structure in some manner. Productivity has great potential for you this week, but considering the Venus/Jupiter theme of ease and abundance can provide an essential balance. Venus’ need to balance is particularly influential for Virgo. Efforts made to introduce harmony and collaboration among those with whom you interact might produce better than average results this week, especially at work. Focusing on relationships at work is a much stronger theme at the start of the week, and focusing on relationships outside of work becomes more of a focus for you by the week’s end. Your meticulous attention to detail helps cut through Neptune’s fog. Neptune in Pisces affects many of the other signs this week. The usual advice for dealing with him applies: given the effort, his better attributes of creativity, inspiration, and spirituality can have an uplifting influence for you. Final thought for Pisces: with Mercury going direct soon, how are you directing your energies into finding lasting solutions to problems?
Libra
Libra Sun definitely has access to this week’s “ease and abundance” theme. Nurturing qualities are of greater importance this week, a nice augmentation to your Sun’s balancing qualities. Therefore, opportunities to teach or mentor other people have potential this week. The nurturing theme also melds nicely with the strong emphasis on using the mind, logic, and communication. Authority is also influential, but so is the ability to harmonize and work with authority. A fair amount of dedication and passion is available to be devoted to work if you so choose. Neptune’s strong position in Pisces begins to have a subtle influence on Libra by the end of the week. Considering how to use past experiences in an effort to draw closer to your destiny and create your future is one outlet for Neptune’s creative qualities this week. Final thought for Libra: pondering what will lead to contentment has its uses this week.
Scorpio
“Expansion through ambition” and using personal will is a sharp theme for you at the beginning of the week. Much of the action for Scorpio Sun takes place in the first half of the week, according to the transits. The beginning of the week can be a very conscious experience for you. What do you want in life, and how might you go about obtaining it? While this sounds rather utilitarian, it can be of benefit to both yourself and other people in your life. Jupiter’s optimism and sense of growth wanes slightly for Scorpio by the week’s end, although he is still influential throughout the week. Given the effort, finding ways to bring innovative ideas to your projects and using flashes of insight to help achieve your goals can be effective this week, and has been a long-standing theme for you. The hustle and bustle at the beginning of the week is contrasted by the relative inactivity of the second half of the week, so you might want to plan your week accordingly. Final thought for Scorpio: when you have time, play with children! Or partake in an activity that you enjoyed when you were young.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius Sun is entering a potentially productive time of “spontaneous creativity” with regards to using the mind. This is an ideal time for abstract problem solving; while most of us are no longer students or have careers as academics, useful applications of this theme could be applied to your work or even daily life. Close relationships continue to be a source of support and extra influence for Sagittarius. Will, drive, passion, and ambition are also more influential than average this week. Watch for the beginning of the week, when Pluto’s influence injects “power” into the already strong will and ambition theme. Asserting yourself and directing your energy passionately towards your goals and aspirations can work well for you this week. Watch also for opportunities to use teamwork, collaboration, and implement harmony in relationships in order to progress towards your goals. Overall, a rather powerful and uplifting week for Sagittarius. Final thought for Sagittarius: how might you expand beyond your limits this week?
Capricorn
This week is about communicating in relationships for Capricorn Sun, in large part. Due to Mercury’s retrograde quality, you might find that at times communication is nonstop, and at other times it’s rather dormant. You might also notice that a second or third attempt to communicate must be made (as have all of the signs in the past few weeks!), but that the extra effort also gives a better meeting of the minds. When Mercury’s mischief is dealt with, you can enjoy a theme that is starting for you this week and will last for several weeks. Capricorn has an enhanced opportunity to be noticed, and generate a favorable image, starting on June 6. This complements your natural ambition and affinity for public functioning well. Growing or multiplying something, such as your own business or projects that you’re working on for personal or professional benefit, also becomes a favorable theme starting on June 6. June 6 is the start of an extended time fortuitous for dressing for success, making connections, and passionately pursuing what you want in life. Considering the week’s theme of networking and forming relationships becomes very important in the larger picture for Capricorn Sun. Final thought for Capricorn: whom to listen to? That is the question this week.
Aquarius
“Abundance in close relationships, working to gain perspectives” seems to characterize the last several weeks for Aquarius Sun. Still, variations in the heavens present new challenges and opportunities every week. This week Aquarius has an opportunity to implement will, drive, and ambition in order to achieve what you want from work or personal life. June 8 is a key date for asserting yourself and actively pursuing what you want. Venus entering Leo, opposite of your Sun’s sign, also draws attention to the “ease and abundance” theme of this week for you. Aquarius has opportunities this week based on use of personal energy and collaboration, a very effective theme to use if you can manage to combine the two ideas. Mercury’s retrograde in an air sign will end after this week, but your Sun trining Mercury by sign will last for a while longer, giving thought and communication in your life a boost. Decent chances for a productive week for Aquarius. Final thought for Aquarius: if you find yourself at a fork in the road, take the path that seems best by trusting yourself!
Pisces
Neptune continues to be of central influence for Pisces Sun this week. Mercury will soon go direct, but he still might cause ample mischief for you. Personal aspirations will be a great deal of work for Pisces at the beginning of the week, but this drifts back to normal around June 9 (do be aware of the rewards given the difficult work tradeoff!). Otherwise Pisces has a week that is somewhat under the radar, especially during the second half of the week. This can be useful for resting or reflecting, or switching gears among different activities, suitable with Sun in Gemini and natural for your Sun in Pisces. Saturn’s structure has just enough influence to be noticed this week. Wrapping up long-term projects and taking care of loose ends fits your week well. Final thought for Pisces: is it a romantic interest – or something else?
