Mercury will still be retrograde at the very beginning of the month. Mercury has been moving backwards (from our perspective here on Earth) since May 10^th, and will station direct once again on June 4^th. The degrees of the Mercury retrograde were between 26 Taurus to 4 Gemini. So, if you have any planets or aspects between these degrees, you’ll be feeling this retrograde especially strongly!

During most of the retrograde, trickster Mercury was in a trine aspect to Pluto, ruler of the Greek Underworld, so we had some significant & serious events that occurred during the period from May 10 to June 4. Some of these events were surprising or life-changing, and may feel quite destabilizing. This is because Pluto was involved, and he always asks us, “What needs to die so that YOU can be reborn?” In order to integrate all that occurred for you during this important retrograde, be sure to take some time in June to reflect or journal on the significant or serious events, and the endings or completions in your life, that happened between May 10 to June 4. These may have felt really difficult at the time, but when you check in with your heart, you will find that these events are leading you toward a new & more highly evolved, highly conscious version of yourself. Because ultimately, Pluto is here to help us transform and live in a way that is truer to our soul. He just asks us to make some really big changes in order to get there.

Another message from Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn at this time (because they are both in Earth signs, which inform us about our physical reality), is that we must simplify, reduce excessive spending, reduce complexity, become more minimal in our requirements, and minimize our spending / shopping / consumption. This is happening naturally, on the one hand, because of supply chain shortages, meaning that some of the goods that we used to purchase are simply no longer available. But it is a drive that we’ll feel inwardly as well. June is the ideal time to pay off debt, get rid of clutter, and take on a more minimalist approach to living – So that you can enjoy the little things in your life even more fully.

At this point, you may be feeling beaten down by one surprise or shock after another. This is because we have passed through a very dynamic eclipse window, with lots of sudden changes, in April & May. It’s also because freedom-loving & surprise-filled Uranus will be inching closer to the North Node (the aspect that represents the future direction of humanity) all throughout the month of June. Uranus and the North Node are in Taurus, the sign of our 3D existence, our homes & safe spaces, the Earth, and our physical body. What we have previously perceived as solid and unshakeable, is getting rocked and shaken up at this time. Hold on for the ride! It’s all happening to assist humanity in collectively breaking down the structures that are no longer working, so that we can build new & better systems & structures in their place. Through these changes, we are being given the opportunity to build a new & different reality, together.

Although June starts off fairly rapidly, as we move into the month, the energy is soon going to shift into a slower pace. This is because hard-working Saturn will turn retrograde in Aquarius on June 5^th, asking us to revise, recalibrate, and rethink the structures, systems, and schedules in our lives. It’s a great time to reorganize your filing cabinet, clean out the garage, or set up a new budgeting plan. You will be supported in changing your work schedule to give you more freedom and flexibility at this time.

Later on in the month, dreamy & imaginative Neptune will turn retrograde in Pisces on June 29^th. Because Neptune is so far away from the Earth, we do not feel Neptune retrogrades as strongly, but this transit may inspire you to write down your dreams, find a new meditation practice, or begin journaling about the visions that have been coming through.

Underworldly Pluto has already been retrograde in Capricorn since April 30^th.

This will be a very positive & peaceful time for relationships. Make space to spend relaxed and loving time together. (Enjoy the calmness now, because it’s going to get wild again in July & August, and going forward!)

Whether you are in a relationship or not, be sure in June that you take time off from work and go to a beautiful place in nature. Connect your body with Mother Earth for healing & relaxation. You can swim in the ocean, lay down on the Earth, walk on forest paths, or climb a tree and sit up there for hours just enjoying the view.

Venus in Taurus is an extremely supportive time to improve your financial situation. If you are an entrepreneur, this is the perfect time to increase your prices, because Venus wants you to fully claim what you & your gifts are really worth! Buying & selling property is a highly favored activity right now. Anything you can do in June to cultivate stability & security in your finances, will be rewarded in the coming months – Downsizing, paying off debt, eliminating extra expenses – All of these are ideal to do in June. Especially if you have planets or aspects in Taurus, you will strongly feel the need to release what you no longer need financially & materially, and simplify your life.

One more message from Venus in Taurus! She asks you to make space in your life to take extra good care of your body – to honor your physical temple. So be sure to double-down on self-care, eating healthier foods, and exercising in a way that feels fun & inspiring to you. Reiki, acupuncture, massage, and other healing modalities will be very supportive to begin now and help you to keep your energy balanced as the pace picks up again in July and throughout the rest of 2022.

Aggressive warrior Mars will be firing through his home sign of Aries for the whole month of June (from May 25^th to July 5^th, to be exact). Mars wants to create forward momentum, and often does not care what others will think or say when he wants his way. Mars energy can be quite helpful, as he is a true pioneer spirit, bushwhacking & forging new paths where no path existed before.  But you’ll need to watch out for the negative sides of Mars in Aries, which include aggression, anger, confrontations, road rage, and similar outbursts.

With confrontational Mars & peaceful Venus both strong & powerful in their home signs during June, once again we are going to have an inner tug-of-war. Stop or go? Fight or make love? We may find ourselves wanting to do both at the same time!

It will be best to connect in with Venus and develop your ability to channel her easy-going, pleasurable attitude, so we can arrive at the end of June in one piece. Be sure to cultivate care & compassion for others at all times this month, to make sure that rash & reckless Mars doesn’t take over your actions & words, and spoil the Venus-in-Taurus party.

To add to that party, we also have expansive & optimistic Jupiter in Aries all this month, and in fact for most of the time from now until May 2023. Jupiter will travel from 3 to 7 degrees Aries in June. Jupiter in Aries (leadership, new beginnings, and expanded pioneer & breakthrough energy) is a BIG shift from Jupiter in Pisces (dreams, visions, oneness, spirituality).

Jupiter expands whatever he touches, and Aries represents: Adventure, pioneer spirit, taking action, breaking the rules, courage & daring, and a willingness to do things your own way no matter what anyone else says.

Jupiter in Aries says: “Resolve each day to break one limitation. Every time you do this, you are not only freeing yourself, you are freeing all of us. When we do this together, we break free from limiting beliefs and trauma.”

Wherever Aries is, in your own chart, will expand and improve in some manner, as Jupiter moves through from May 10, 2022 until May 17, 2023. Look at your May SolSisters report here to see the major energies that Jupiter will continue to bring to you specifically during the upcoming year! 

The romantic Goddess Venus is going to make some big moves this month. On June 11 and 12, Venus will be conjunct Uranus, the planet of revolution, shock, and surprise (at 16 degrees Taurus). Then on June 16, Venus will move into a conjunction with the North Node, which represents the future direction of humanity (at 22 degrees Taurus)! During this dance between Uranus and the North Node, Venus is connecting the dots … Using her Goddess power to catalyze positive change & rapid evolution that will lead to fulfillment of our hopes & dreams for our collective future.

This will be an important future-revealing moment. Pay attention to what comes up during this window of June 11 to 16, as it will be a preview of the bigger themes that we’ll be working with when Uranus and the North Node come into their rare conjunction (with Mars too!) in late July & early August.

Venus with the North Node is guiding us to create a bright, vibrant, and healthy future that is aligned with our deepest values & what we need to feel happy, safe, and well taken care of. With Uranus close by, we may experience sudden or surprising shifts in a new direction during this mid-June timeframe. Whatever happens for you between June 11 to 16, it will be deeply meaningful and will reveal keys to your future. Similarly on the collective level, what occurs at this time will reveal secrets about where we’re all moving toward in the not-too-distant future.

June 14^th will bring a POTENT Full Moon, with the Moon at 23 degrees of Sagittarius, and the Sun at 23 degrees of Gemini. Interestingly, this Full Moon is occurring at the EXACT same degree as the December 14, 2020 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius that was precisely 1 week prior to the Jupiter-Saturn Grand Conjunction in Aquarius! So we are being asked at this Full Moon to review & reflect on what has occurred in each of our lives from December 2020 (the time of the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction) until now. We have ALL had major life changes since that time. It will be important on the Full Moon day of June 14^th to spend some time meditating or journaling on the ways your life has changed since December 2020.

It’s especially critical at this Full Moon, that you make sure that you have fully released and let go of anything that is no longer serving you, which you have gotten increased clarity about since December 2020. As human beings, we tend to cling & hold onto things. It’s critical to let go at this time – To clear out the old things which carry the energy from the past, and make room for what is NEW to come into your life, which will be aligned with your FUTURE self. Holding on is not going to help you prepare for the radical future that is coming to us soon!

It’s not just there to hold us down; in fact, once we learn how to heal our Chiron wound, we can become the true teacher & healer who is then able to guide others in overcoming & defeating the same wound in their own lives. So be sure to give yourself extra space at this Full Moon time, to see what pain, fear, or trauma comes up; and not to run away from it, but to face it and see what deep wisdom & power is hidden there for you beneath the shadows. In the picture we see RA cutting the head off the serpent, Apep who in this instance represents the patterns and cycles that no longer serve us.  When we effectively cease these patterns of behavior, we open a space for creating something new!

Venus will be between Uranus and the North Node (as described above) at the time of the Full Moon in Sagittarius. This moon carries the energy of the future, and surprising or unexpected truths may be revealed at this time.

During this Full Moon, warrior God Mars is conjunct Chiron, the asteroid representing our deepest karmic wounds in this lifetime. This is intense! But this conjunction is occurring to help us face our wounds, with courage and boldness, so that we can heal them. The Chiron wound is a challenge for us to overcome in this lifetime. It’s not just there to hold us down; in fact, once we learn how to heal our Chiron wound, we can become the true teacher & healer who is then able to guide others in overcoming & defeating the same wound in their own lives. So be sure to give yourself extra space at this Full Moon time, to see what pain, fear, or trauma comes up; and not to run away from it, but to face it and see what deep wisdom & power is hidden there for you beneath the shadows.

Mercury is in his home sign of Gemini from June 14 till the end of the month, which will support us in communicating clearly & effectively about what came up during his Rx! The best time to have these meaningful conversations will be after June 19^th, when Mercury moves out of his Rx shadow.

Venus will join Mercury in Gemini on June 23^rd, bringing beauty and love into our conversations & communications, and also helping us to feel very talkative and fun in social interactions! Late June will be a wonderful time for gathering in community, sharing the love, making new friends & meeting new people, and having open & honest conversations.

If there is something you’ve been needing or missing from your partner in a relationship, June 23^rd to 30^th will be the perfect time to have that conversation, because with both Venus and Mercury in Gemini, your partner is more likely to respond with love, respect, and openness to truly listen to you, during this time. If you have been longing to open up your relationship to polyamory or multiple partners, it’s also a great time for that conversation, because Venus in Gemini is very supportive of more open relationship structures. Just be sure to state your needs & desires with love and compassion, and listen closely to hear & honor the other person’s needs as well. 

Some big shifts in energy will occur toward the end of the month, as the Sun moves from Gemini into watery, emotional Cancer on June 22^nd. Our emotions may get stronger and fluctuate more quickly starting around this time.

Venus is on the move too – She leaves her home sign of peaceful, earthy Taurus to move into the talkative & intellectual sign of Gemini on June 23^rd.

We will end the month of June with a New Moon on June 28^th at 7 degrees of Cancer that is sure to bring up plenty of emotions! For this New Moon, the Sun & Moon are together with Black Moon Lilith. This is an asteroid which reveals to us the ways we have been giving up our own will or needs in order to please others. Remember that earlier in the month, Venus gently encouraged you to speak up about what’s not fair or not meeting your needs in your relationships. Did you take this action & have the necessary conversations to make things right? If you did, Black Moon Lilith will smile upon you with favor and grant you even greater freedom and sovereignty during the New Moon time. If, on the other hand, you did not have those important conversations yet, then Black Moon Lilith is going to create a situation where the theme will come up again to be addressed, more strongly, and she is going to give you extra courage and strength to speak your truth. It’s really important for you to state your needs clearly at this time! She is going to give you a chance to break free from the bonds & obligations that have held you down in the past.

On & around June 28^th, you will feel an urge to revolt against the status quo and find your own unique path. You will seek a path where you do not have to worry about what anyone else will think, and you can simply follow your own inner knowing. This can be an extremely beneficial transit… As long as you dare to get outside of your comfort zone and make new decisions that focus on your freedom and fulfillment. Trust and surrender into this process. No one else can tell you what to do. Follow your heart – It will never lead you wrong.

This New Moon carries some challenging energies, as the Sun, Moon, and Lilith are square Jupiter, so we may have trouble fully receiving gifts & blessings or feeling optimistic at this time. Since the energy is focused in watery Cancer, we will likely have to move through oceans of emotions in order to come into connection with the truth at the core of our being. Be sure that you take the time to dive through the depths of your feelings, because when you do, you will be invited by Jupiter to plant the seeds for a future that feels safe, nurturing, warm, and loving.
