Sun Jun 21 the Moon is in the final degrees of Leo when the Sun moves out of Gemini and takes up residence in Cancer. For 8 whole minutes, the Sun and Moon are in mutual reception (a guest in each other’s home sign) until the Moon moves into Virgo. It’s the summer solstice, the first day of summer, and the day to look at an ingress chart to get a peek at your next three months.

Mon Jun 22 the Moon is in calm collected Virgo when Jupiter makes a trine with Uranus. This aspect doesn’t happen all that often and it’s a chance for us to think and act bigger and farther out of the box than usual. Write something grand and wild. You don’t have to save it (although you might).

Tue Jun 23 the Moon is still in Virgo when Mercury makes a square with Neptune. Neither planet has tremendous respect for common sense, but you can still have a productive day if you think more and daydream less.

Wed Jun 24 the Moon is in Libra when Mars changes signs, leaving Gemini and entering Cancer. If you work at home, you can get a lot more done with a lot less running around. People will understand.

Fri Jun 26 the Moon is in Scorpio when it trines Mars at 2:01 pm. Later, the Moon trines the Sun at 9:12 pm. All this happens in water signs, so it might be an emotional day. Pour those feelings into your work. If it’s the start of a big social weekend, take a back seat and let friends entertain you. It will make them feel good, too.

Sun Jun 28 the Moon is conjunct Saturn in Scorpio at 6:50 pm. We had this conjunction when the month began but it wasn’t in Scorpio then. This is different. Heads Up. The same small silly infractions could have bigger consequences. By 8:21 pm the Moon has moved into Sagittarius. This should lighten the mood, and help you get mentally organized for the coming work week. Never a bad thing.

There’s a lot of fire and water this month, and a lot of chances for things to go bad in a big way, if you’re not paying at least a little bit of attention. A little attention can go a long way this month. It can not only minimize grief but it can push things forward fast. Yes, there’s a lot of opportunities this month. Be upbeat, respectful about what deserves attention, and be serious about what you know is important anyway. This includes loving that which deserves your love. Be serious about yourself and your work. Seriousness and the self-motivation that goes with all that fire can take you where you want to go. Get there! Heads Up!
