JUNE 2023
RUNE OF THE MONTH: Isa “ice”. We are required to slow down,
be cautious, listen carefully, and tread delicately. Only will a
gradual movement forward, steady, sound, and solid, see us to the
finish line. Self-preservation is key this month. Patience, discipline,
and care help us discern what is worth our time and effort, and
what isn’t. To those who honor their own rhythm, comes great
success!

Pluto remains retrograde this whole month until October 10 (at
27º54’ Capricorn). Its shadow period ends on February 1 st 2024.
Pluto re-enters Capricorn on Sunday 6/11 till January 20 th , 2024.
The degree covered in June (0º09’ Aquarius - 29º38’ Capricorn)
are represented in the Sabian Symbols by “A old adobe mission in
California” and “A secret meeting of men responsible for executive
decisions in world affairs”. This is one of the very last times that
Pluto returns to Capricorn since it entered that sign in 2008. Big
corporations, government officials, people in positions of authority
who have used underhanded tactics, have abused their power, and
hurt those they were supposed to serve, will continue being
exposed until they all fall. The new consciousness does not tolerate
lies and deceit!
Saturn turns retrograde on Saturday 6/17 until November 3 rd .
Its shadow period remains until February 8, 2024. The degree
covered in June, 7º13’ Pisces is symbolized by: “A girl blowing a
bugle”. We are asked to reconsider our relation to discipline and
authority. What, who, do we bow to? What laws do we abide to?
What rules do we live by? A close examination of the structures of
our life is in order. Are they still valid, or are they outmoded ? A
wonderful time to reassess our goals and make solid plans for the
future.
Neptune turns retrograde on Friday 6/30 at 27º41’ Pisces, until
December 5. Its shadow period remains until March 26, 2024. This
degree is associated to the following image: “A fertile garden
under the Full Moon reveals a variety of full-grown vegetables”. As
the world is gradually going to chaos, our still intact imagination
gives us a chance to dream the world we want into being. Our inner
world is full of magical resources, that if tapped into can bring
wonders to life, and manifest an enchantment that will not only
feed our soul, but bring hope and peace to humanity.

This month’s intentional meditation starts on Saturday 6/3. Let
us take out as many blank sheets of paper as we have intentions
and place them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that
they basked in the light of the Full Moon in Sagittarius at
exactly 8:42 PM. Once that moment passes, let us gather our Full
Moon charged blank sheets and place them in a folder.
On Saturday 6/17, take out your blank full moon charged papers
and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a
balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by
exactly 9:37 PM for the New Moon in Gemini. Once that moment
has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder
expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….
* * * * * * * * * * *
Friday 6/2: Venus Trine Neptune (3:42 PM)
We are particularly romantic. A new relationship could feel so
perfect, it is almost unreal, and may indeed call for caution. Our
compassion, and sensitivity are particularly enhanced, making us
want to care for those more vulnerable than ourselves. Artists are
specially inspired.
Sunday 6/4: Mercury Conjunct Uranus (12:49 PM)
A day of exciting news, innovative ideas, and thinking out of the
box. We may meet unusual people who are independent thinkers
and walk to the sound of their own drum. We might be attracted to
science fiction. Sudden schedule changes may disrupt our plans
forcing to stay very present to the moment and think quickly on
our feet.
Monday 6/5: Venus Opposition Pluto (9:05 AM)
Gracious compromise is advised today. Manipulation, expressing
openly our disagreement, will only backfire. Goodwill, extending
ourselves to our utmost wins the approval of others and brings
much needed peace.
Friday 6/9: Mercury Sextile Neptune (2:14 PM)
We may feel a little spaced out and dreamy. Not a good day for
signing legally binding documents, but very inspiring for artists and
creators. Musicians, actors, and painters are particularly favored.
Healers and channelers may also be able to access higher realms of
consciousness more easily. Our night dreams may be prophetic.
Sunday 6/11: Pluto re-enters Capricorn (2:47 AM till January
20, 2024), Mercury Trine Pluto (3:26 AM), Mercury enters
Gemini (3:27 AM till 6/26)
Regarding Pluto in Capricorn, kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
During the next 2 weeks, our thoughts may be more scattered. We
are curious of many things and good at multi-tasking. Good
conversations are appealing. Our social skills are enhanced. We are
friendlier and more talkative than usual. Our nervous energy may
be rather high. We enjoy small trips. Today, more specifically, we
X-ray situations and people, think things deeply, and could even be
obsessive in our problem solving, leaving no stone unturned.
Thursday 6/15: Mercury Square Saturn (9:09 AM)
We may feel a little drained today, and depressed. Formal
obligations are tedious and boring. We may be a little asocial. Best
to avoid signing important documents. We are advised to keep our
opinions to ourselves. This transit is best channeled by applying
ourselves to the work at hand with focus and diligence.
Saturday 6/17: Mercury Sextile Venus (8:29 AM), Saturn
Retrograde (10:27 AM)
Our social interactions are pleasant and smooth. We seek peace
and harmony in our contacts with others. Good for a nice gathering
among friends. Regarding Saturn retrograde, kindly refer to the
opening paragraph.
Sunday 6/18: Sun Square Neptune (8:54 PM)
Our vitality is low, we feel dreamy, are indecisive and impractical.
Definitely not a day to sign legal documents. We should also stay
away from promotional schemes and shady characters, as we could
be more vulnerable to deceit than usual. A day to lie low, read,
paint, or listen to music.
Monday 6/19: Jupiter Sextile Saturn (8:53 AM)
A day of balance between expansion and a more conservative
approach. We move forward gradually, with healthy moderation.
Obstacles and delays are handled positively, with efficiency,
practicality, and maturity.
Wednesday 6/21: the Sun enters Cancer (7:58 AM till July
22), Mercury Sextile Mars (8:23 AM)
During the coming month, our focus is on home, safety, food, and
money. Excellent for beautifying our home, creating dinners with
both close and extended family members. We could feel more
emotional than usual, be drawn to the arts, and concerned about
the welfare of children. Today, more specifically, we are direct in
speech, call a spade a spade, take courageous initiative,
demonstrate natural leadership abilities, and move resolutely
forward in our projects.
Sunday 6/25: Mercury Square Neptune (3:36 PM)
Communications could be elusive. Deceit, misunderstandings, lies
could create much confusion. We are likely to miss appointments,
erase messages we haven’t read, and have a hard time focusing on
practical matters. More than ever should we avoid drugs and
alcohol the effect of which is multiplied. A day to lie low, watch a
feel-good movie, or read an inspiring novel.
Monday 6/26: Mars Square Uranus (2:23 AM), Mercury enters
Cancer (5:24 PM till July 10)
Prone to stress in the face of unexpected circumstances, we could
react in an impulsive, volatile, impatient manner. Let us be careful
when driving or using sharp objects. Considering different options
leads to innovative solutions. During the next 2 weeks, our mind is
very connected to our heart, so much so, that we could be unduly
emotional and take everything more personally than necessary. An
excellent period to spend quality time with children, focus on the
wellbeing of our family, and reorganize our home.
Wednesday 6/28: Sun Trine Saturn (6:43 PM)
A day of hard, focused, productive work. We readily assume our
responsibilities and are disciplined in fulfilling our obligations. Our
ambitions are supported by our strength of character, diligence,
patience, and practical efficiency.
Thursday 6/29: Mercury Trine Saturn (11:24 PM)
An excellent day to study a topic requiring discipline, focus, and
practical attention to details. We seek serious conversations, are
attracted by older, more mature individuals whose achievements
we respect and admire, and finish what we started, no matter how
tedious and boring the task is.
Friday 6/30: Neptune retrograde (2:07 PM till December 5),
Sun Conjunct Mercury (10:06 PM)
Regarding Neptune Retrograde, kindly refer to the opening
paragraph. Today, more specifically, communication is easy and
flowing. A great day to write e-mails, make phone calls, and connect
with friends. Excellent for a small trip, writing reports or
attending a professional meeting.
Wishing you a productive month of June!
In Loving Light.
