I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one, but I will give myself to it. I circle God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years, and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?
Rainer Maria Rilke translation by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy, from Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

Monday, June 1, 2026: Mercury Enters Cancer | Moon in Sagittarius enters Capricorn
The Moon continues its movement through Sagittarius this morning. After yesterday’s Full Moon, the emotional atmosphere holds an awareness of what has been seen and understood. Today is less about reaching toward new ground and more about absorbing new awareness. If possible, take time for integration.
At 7:55 am EDT, Mercury leaves its home sign of Gemini and enters Cancer. Having been in Gemini since May 17th, and having met with Uranus that same day, a new direction in thinking has been processed. Now, in Cancer, Mercury must consider feelings and memory, and conversations must become more personal and carry more emotional weight. Notice your increased attunement to the emotional undercurrents in what others are saying.
At 9:19 pm EDT, the Moon moves into Capricorn, and the day closes on a more grounded and practical note.
- What did yesterday’s Full Moon show you that you need time to process?
- How will you navigate more emotional communications in the days ahead?
- What conversation have you been approaching too quickly that Mercury in Cancer will ask you to slow down?
Tuesday, June 2, 2026: Moon in Capricorn | Sun Sextile Saturn
With the Moon in Capricorn today, your emotional needs turn toward competence and meaningful work. When the Moon is in Capricorn, we want to see progress and real accomplishment. In practical terms, Today is well suited to focusing your efforts on something truly important to you.
At 6:48 pm EDT, the Sun in Gemini forms an opening sextile to Saturn in Aries. The Sun and Saturn (in Aries) joined together in a conjunction on March 25th, beginning a new cycle of developing structure and purpose. A conjunction is always the seed moment, and what was initiated at that time now finds its first opportunity to take an active step in planning the entire arc of that cycle. Looking to the house that holds Aries in your natal chart will pinpoint what area of your life is seeking stabilization and structure.
The Capricorn Moon and this Sun-Saturn sextile are reflecting each other’s positions today. What you began building or committing to in mid-April is ready for your focused attention. This is a good day to take a concrete step toward something you have been working toward. It doesn’t need to be more than a small step. Saturn rewards consistency.
- What did you begin or commit to in mid-April that asks for a small step forward today?
- Where in your life does focused effort need to replace good intentions?
- What is one concrete step you can take today toward something you want to be solid for the long term?
Wednesday, June 3, 2026: Moon in Capricorn | Mercury Square Neptune
The Moon continues moving through Capricorn today, and your emotional needs remain oriented toward structure and tangible progress. Mercury’s square to Neptune arriving this evening will test that orientation.
At 8:18 pm EDT, Mercury and Neptune come to their first quarter square aspect. The beginning of this cycle occurred at their conjunction in mid-April, when a seed was planted, bringing together thinking and imagination. Today your perception or creative thinking reaches a point of friction between what the mind wants to understand clearly and what is foggy and unclear. Mercury in Cancer is already thinking through feelings and memory. Neptune pushes the thought further into territory that is intangible and impossible to pin down.
This may bring some confusion or difficulty communicating. However, Mercury and Neptune together open the mind to imagination, music, poetry, and deep intuition. Pay attention for creative insights; an image or a piece of music that carries what thinking cannot reach. The Capricorn Moon may want solid ground, but tonight something less definable is asking for equal attention. Hold off on important decisions or commitments this evening as clarity is out of reach.
- What seeds of softer understanding were planted in mid-April that are resurfacing this evening?
- Can you allow your imagination free rein?
Thursday, June 4, 2026: Moon Enters Aquarius
The morning begins with the Moon completing its passage through Capricorn. At 9:45 am EDT, as the Moon enters Aquarius, the emotional focus shifts from individual concerns toward broader, less personal ones.
When the Moon is in Aquarius, our attention extends beyond our immediate circumstances and turns toward ideas and the bigger questions of life. This is a good day to step back from whatever has been occupying your attention and consider where you stand in the context of the larger culture. In traditional astrology, Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, which brings a serious edge of responsibility to our emotions today. Although the detachment of Aquarius may look cold, it has the capacity to see clearly and to understand situations and circumstances with great objectivity.
At 2:18 pm EDT, the Moon forms a brief trine to Uranus in Gemini, both in air signs, and a spark of unexpected insight or a surprising connection may move through you. It will pass quickly, so pay attention.
As the day comes to its end, the Moon meets Pluto at 8:21 pm EDT, and the emotional tone intensifies. Something beneath the surface may press for your attention. Notice it without feeling obligated to resolve it tonight.
- Where does stepping back from your immediate concerns give you a clearer view today?
- What would you understand about your current situation if you looked at it with more objectivity?
Friday, June 5, 2026: Moon in Aquarius
The Moon continues moving through Aquarius, and the day carries the serious edge that Saturn’s traditional rulership of this sign brings. Aquarius is future-oriented and visionary, but the vision means nothing without the effort and discipline that Saturn demands. Real change, the kind that Aquarius at its best works toward, requires sustained and unglamorous effort. A revolution of any kind, personal or collective, is built one committed day at a time.
The Moon forms two aspects that give the day its clear arc. At 11:59 am EDT, the Moon squares Mars. Whatever surfaces at midday may feel like a restriction or a conflict between an opinion you have held tightly and some other information that is insisting on your attention right now. At 3:50 pm EDT, the Moon forms a trine to the Sun in Gemini. I’d anticipate the earlier resistance easing as the afternoon opens into a more spacious and cooperative evening.
- What practical demand pulled you back from a larger perspective this morning?
- What becomes clearer in the afternoon that the midday resistance was obscuring?
- Where today did the broader view serve you better than staying close to the immediate situation?
Saturday, June 6, 2026: Moon in Aquarius | Moon Enters Pisces
The Moon continues through Aquarius today, offering a day to engage with your intellect and community. It is a Saturday in early June. The week is behind you; perhaps it is a beautiful day, and with the Moon in Aquarius, you are less interested in personal concerns and more interested in expanding your attention outward to engage with others. This is a good day to ditch your usual routines and find something larger than the domestic or the familiar to get involved in. Have a conversation with someone whose thinking challenges yours, or spend time with a community working toward something of social significance. Allow yourself to see beyond your personal concerns. How can you make a difference in the lives of others?
At 8:42 pm EDT, the Moon enters Pisces, and your emotions soften considerably. As you wind down toward sleep, let your mind move without direction or purpose. Pisces is the sign of dreaming, and the Moon here opens a door between waking and sleep. Before you close your eyes, set aside anything solid or concerning and invite your imagination to play. Pay attention to your dreams tonight.
- What Saturday routines will you set aside today?
- How can you make a difference in the lives of others?
- What do you want to dream about tonight?
Sunday, June 7, 2026: Moon in Pisces
The Moon moves through Pisces today, and her invitation is to Rest. Do your best to resist the demands of your ordinary life. When the Moon is in Pisces, boundaries dissolve, and what the week required of you in terms of focus and effort dissolves. In practical terms, this should look like a day of quiet restoration. Seek out water, music, solitude, or anything that allows your attention to rest and flow without direction.
The lunar cycle is preparing for its next turn as the Last Quarter phase arrives tomorrow. The only accomplishment today involves allowing and resting. The Taurus New Moon planted its seed on May 16th. Much has grown and been illuminated since then. Today you can let all of that settle without trying to understand it further.
- What does genuine rest look like for you today?
- What are you preparing to release without needing to resolve it first?

TESTIMONIALS
My consultations with Laurie consistently bring clarity to what I am sensing or considering in my life. I often come in with an intuition or an idea that is forming, and our conversations help confirm what I am picking up on and show me how I can move forward with it. At the same time, Laurie helps me look back at past experiences in a way that makes sense of how the past is connected to what is happening in the present. I leave with a clearer understanding of where I have been and where I can go next.
Astrology has opened doors for me that most of us do not even realize are there. It has shown me things about myself that I would not otherwise have see. Working with Laurie feels a little like taking a short trip somewhere new. You return with a broader view of your life. Everyday situations, challenges, and even successes begin to make more sense because you have a broader perspective on what is happening.
– Mary H. Vermont March 2026
“I’ve been working with Laurie for over ten years. What keeps me coming back is the way our sessions help my life make sense. I’ll arrive with questions, or with a feeling that something is shifting, and when we sit down together, it’s reflected clearly in the charts. I can see why a certain pattern is showing up now and how to move through it instead of unconsiously reacting to it. There’s something deeply reassuring about that. It confirms that what I’m sensing isn’t imagined or exaggerated.
There is timing to things. There are cycles at work.
Instead of second-guessing myself, I leave with perspective and steadiness. Looking back over the years, I can see how this ongoing work has shaped the way I respond to my life. I’m more aware. I’m more intentional. It has changed the way I move forward. I would absolutely encourage anyone considering working with her to begin.”
