Importance of This Week
We have a busy week ahead, but I have to tell you this: there are still some windows of opportunity to start something before Mercury retrograde. Next week, on June 29, Mercury retrograde will start and last until July 23. During that time, it would be much better to focus on the continuity of things rather than starting completely new ones. Especially when it comes to home, family, emotional security, and the protection of our loved ones, this week gives us some windows of opportunity to take initiative action before the retrograde begins. Let’s dive in!
June 23-24, Tuesday-Wednesday
The Sun entered Cancer on Sunday, June 21, and right after that, it started forming its trine aspect to the North Node in Pisces. This energy will be at its peak on Wednesday, but between Monday and Wednesday, you can use this benevolent and harmonious water energy for fixing broken hearts and charity.
If you have a family member or someone in your close circle with whom you have coldness, heartbreak, or emotional distance, this is the time to heal the wounds. There will be compassion and emotional connection in the air. This energy is great for anything related to the security, nurturing, and emotional protection of your family and home. Moreover, it is a great time to volunteer and help anyone in need.
If you are a spiritual person, get ready! Receptivity and intuition will be heightened, and you may receive downloads or revelations during this period. Imagination will also be heightened, and inspiration will be there for artistic works.
June 24-26, Wednesday-Friday
As you know from the previous posts, Venus is in Leo, and love is in the air. Romance, pleasure, and indulgence are in the spotlight. Now, this energy has the possibility of turning into overstimulation, egoism, and vanity. Saturn will make a positive contact with Venus during Wednesday-Friday, which will have a small but meaningful regulation effect. Normally, Saturn have a greater impact, but now it does not function properly because it is in fall at Aries. This means a little more seriousness, long-term thinking, and taking things under control when it comes to romance and comfort.
But here is the catch: after its contact with the North Node, the Sun will square Neptune in Aries on Thursday and Friday. This creates a cloaking and illusionary environment where things may not be seen as they are. It can also be deceiving. Especially under this energy, it is very important to be careful about starting new things. The areas are not limited to, but may include family decisions, starting a family, moving, buying a house, or taking action on family matters. Also, you may have bold but unrealistic desires and wants around these times, so be mindful of that.
June 27-28, Saturday-Sunday
Mars in Taurus will make a sextile contact with Jupiter in Cancer, and right after that, it will leave Taurus and enter Gemini. Mars entering Gemini on June 28 is also listed as one of the key planetary shifts of the month.
After Neptune’s cloak fades, Saturday and early Sunday is an opportunity to take action in matters related to family and home. When Mars enters Gemini, the energy will still be there, but it will shift from concrete action to mental action.
While Mars is moving in Gemini, our minds will move faster. We may prefer to talk things out, write and plan rather than actually do them. Our actions may become less focused and more scattered. We may also see an increase in quarrels during this period.
But on the positive side, we will find more motivation for teaching, writing, speaking, marketing, sales, and any activity that requires communication.
Overall, this week gives us both compassion and confusion. Use the helpful windows wisely, especially before Mercury retrograde begins.
Stay safe.
You have got this.
