Thoughts for the Month of June 2012

My View of June 2012
The activity continues this month with a Full Moon partial Lunar Eclipse occurring in the sign of Sagittarius on June 4th. Neptune turns retrograde on the 4th. A New Moon occurs in late Gemini on June 19th. Uranus squares Pluto on the 24th. Jupiter squares Neptune on the 25th. Saturn turns direct on the 25th. Venus is retrograde in the sign of Gemini until June 27th, then it turns direct and finally a once in a life time Venus Eclipse.

As you see there is so much powerful activity going this month it may be difficult to keep our composure. Let’s start off with the partial lunar eclipse on the June 4th. The Moon will be in Sagittarius, opposing the Sun in Gemini. The eclipsed Moon and the Sun will be forming a square to Mars in Virgo. The effects of this lunar eclipse can span six months. In Sagittarius, this Lunar Eclipse is good for exploration and reaching out to those outside of your own little world. Unfortunately Mars and Venus will be at a tough alignment, so the reaching-out-to-others bit might result in some disagreements and hurt feelings, probably because we're not being open enough to other ways of living. Keep your mind and hearts open. Another area to keep an eye on is legal issues. If you're a Sagittarius Sun, Moon, or mid-Sagittarius rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.

On June 6th there will be a very special day as the Sun conjunct Venus. Not just any old conjunction, this one is a rare transit of Venus, where Venus is seen as a black dot passing in front of the Sun. This is the last transit of Venus for over 100 years, Venus is retrograde, it comes just after the June 4th lunar eclipse. Sun conjunct Venus is the personification of love and beauty, love is definitely in the air today, more than at any other time. Meeting friends, spending time with lovers, and chatting up potential lovers are all favored on this day. Venus and Jupiter face off in December of this year as part of a Yod aspect (favorable pattern), apparently about the same time as the 5,125 year cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar comes to an end… Should be an interesting ending to this year.
