“It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.” ~ Charles Darwin
As June begins we are all a bit anxious not knowing what to expect in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Even though we know that our plans and expectations are never guaranteed, it seems as though that uncertainty is a new state of affairs. June will very likely bring more of what we don’t expect.
Your best course of action is to put expectations aside and flow with whatever comes your way.
June brings with it a Lunar Eclipse (June 5th at 15 degrees Sagittarius) and a Solar Eclipse (June 21st at 0 degrees Cancer).
Eclipses bring important matters out of hiding and suggest a modification of direction.
The powerful changes of Eclipses will likely play out in our personal lives as well as in the stories we are watching unfold in the world.
Remember that big changes regardless of how they may initially appear bring great opportunities.
Please keep in mind that transits to your natal planets can override these more universal ones. A personal consultation offers deep understanding.
SIMPLE PLEASURE – Monday, June 1, 2020
The week begins on a very pleasant note with the Libra Moon making happy aspects to the Sun and Venus.
Keep your attention on the gifts of Libra; the desire to please, engage in social niceties, and create beauty. Commit yourself to the achievement of balance, fairness, and pleasure in all your interactions today.
You may encounter the downside of Libra as well, which is the challenge of taking a stand or making a decision. It will be easier to flow with what is presented than to make a set determination.
The evening supports romantic or diplomatic endeavors, socializing, or creating art. As the Moon moves through Libra we all desire companionship, beauty, and connection.
THE VALUE OF PASSION – Tuesday, June 2, 2020
Today is a far more complicated day than yesterday. The Moon starts out in pleasure-seeking Libra but her contact with Pluto may reflect challenging power dynamics.
At 12:06 PM EDT, the Moon enters Scorpio pushing you into deep emotions that may be challenging to navigate given the other dynamics at play.
At 8:40 PM EDT Venus (retrograde) forms a square aspect to Mars suggesting the need to dig deep in order to understand the value of passion.
Relationships have certainly struggled in new ways during the past few months.
When Venus squares Mars you may encounter a great deal of passion and very strong emotions. Remember that with Venus retrograde, slow down and don’t jump into anything you may regret when the dust settles. What seems like a good idea right now may look very different when your life settles into a more stable pattern. Explore the value of passion in your life and how that is changing over time.
***The Libra Moon is void-of-course from 6:40 AM EDT until she enters Scorpio at 12:06 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact.
VENUS AWAKENS – Wednesday, June 3, 2020
At 1:43 PM EDT Venus makes her inferior conjunction to the Sun bringing her to the midpoint of her current retrograde cycle. On May 12, when Venus turned retrograde she vanished from the evening sky as she got too close to the Sun for us to see. When she returns over the coming weeks she will be our beautiful morning star. Think of this as the rebirth of Venus.
Venus retrograde is a time to reexamine and come to a new understanding of our deepest values of love, beauty, and resources. It is a time to go inward for deeply personal work. Over the past few weeks, you have done considerable work to understand the depth of what is most important to you, your values. You have worked on personal themes of love, money, beauty, and resources.
Are you beginning to understand what is really important to you?
Today is the day to plant a seed of what you want to grow in the upcoming 8-year cycle Venus Cycle. Plant a seed of Love, opulence, and beauty. A ritual to call what you desire to your life should produce powerful results.
With the Moon in Scorpio, the process of understanding your values is personal, private, and deep.

WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING – Thursday, June 4, 2020
Today begins with the Moon still in Scorpio as we begin to embrace the depth of change that has occurred in our values and beliefs over the past weeks.
At 1:17 PM EDT, the Moon leaves deep inner work behind when she enters Sagittarius. This mutable fire sign brings a lighter emotional tone as she prepares for the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse tomorrow.
Be careful not to get stuck in your own opinions, insisting that you are the only one who has the answers. Keep your mind and heart open to listening and understanding others. You do not have to agree with someone to listen, hear, and understand their point of view.
Remember that opinions are just that – opinions! No matter how we may feel, it is important to accept the fact that no one has a direct line to the truth. Listen and understand. Share your own thoughts and opinions without arrogance.
Expand your view of the world while seeking wisdom and understanding.
***The Scorpio Moon is void-of-course from 7:36 AM EDT until she enters Sagittarius at 1:17 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact.
SAGITTARIUS FULL MOON, LUNAR ECLIPSE – Friday, June 5, 2020
Today’s Sagittarius Full Moon is no ordinary Full Moon, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Today begins with a sextile aspect from Mercury to Uranus. This suggests exciting or unusual conversations, communications, or messages. Do you have something to share that will surprise others or will you be on the receiving end? Perhaps you have a new awareness of something that you want to learn or study. The Moon in Sagittarius always offers to enlarge your understanding of the world.
The Sagittarius Full Moon is exact at 3:13 PM EDT, and as I said at the top of this post, this is no ordinary Full Moon but a Lunar Eclipse as well. The illumination of a Full Moon always shows us something we had not seen before and an eclipse exponentially heightens that power.
At an Eclipse you can see beyond what has been holding you back while stepping into your personal power and understanding.
Because Mars is activated by this Full Moon you can expect not only a great deal of emotion but heated emotion. Unexpected anger may bubble to the surface when something untenable becomes clear.
If anger comes to the surface, allow yourself to feel every bit of it. It is best to wait before taking action but allow the feelings to fill you up. Over the next few weeks as we approach the Solar Eclipse on June 21st you can anticipate a significant breakthrough in understanding.
Look for it. Plan on it.
SERIOUS CONSIDERATIONS – Saturday, June 6, 2020
The bulk of today features the Sagittarius Moon. The Moon in this mutable fire sign gives you a great deal of energy and the desire to travel, study, or seek a higher understanding of this life.
At 3:10 PM EDT, the Sun squares Mars. This may lead to irritability, impatience, and conflicts. Because Mars is in Pisces it may be difficult to express the anger and resentment you feel. Dig deep to find the patience and self-control you need.
This is a good afternoon to work on a solitary project or release anxiety through exercise or physical work.
At 3:45 PM EDT, the Moon leaves the exploration of Sagittarius behind and enters the serious sign of Capricorn. This is not the evening for fun, games, parties, or dates. You may want to focus your attention on work or some other serious consideration or project.
***The Sagittarius Moon is void-of-course from 12:11 AM EDT until she enters Capricorn at 3:45 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact.
SERIOUS CONTEMPLATIONS – Sunday, June 7, 2020
You do not want to pursue trivial issues when the Moon is in Capricorn. Making the best use of today will entail spending time alone working on your personal goals and ambitions. Get serious about the work that you want to accomplish.
Life is serious business you will be very aware of that fact today. Your life has consequences and you have important goals to consider and things to accomplish.
If you are drifting or wasting your gifts, now is the time to consider how to begin the process of changing your course.
After Venus turns direct later in the month, you will begin to truly understand how much you have changed and how your goals need to reflect your authentic self. Today, spend time alone in preparation.
* In these weekly reports, I explore the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and give rise to fleeting moods. I will consider the final major aspect formed by the Moon prior to its VOC* time, as that aspect holds its influence throughout the VOC*.
The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions.
The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
