Event Type : Daily Overview

Thursday, JUNE 1

The Scorpio Moon brings out intensity today. We’re deliberate, strategic, perceptive, and emotional. This Moon stirs our desire for intimacy.

However, Mars forms a quincunx with Saturn, pointing to some stop-and-go energy. Attempts to force an issue are likely to meet resistance. Sometimes the resistance is internal –indecision or fear can hold us back from taking direct action.

This transit has a way of stimulating a glass-half-empty perspective. Rules, restrictions, and limits feel heavy and difficult to coordinate or synthesize with our wants and desires. Timing is off as a result, and the need to adjust our plans can become apparent.

Friday, JUNE 2

Venus forms a trine to Neptune today, and we open up to beauty and faith. We trust others first before judging, preferring to cooperate, not compete. Seeing the best in people takes the pressure off in personal relationships.

We’re also inclined to glamorize objects, situations, and pleasures. It’s easier to tap into our inner spiritual wisdom and draw on compassion. We prioritize spiritual and emotional concerns over material ones at this time and won’t step over others to achieve our goals.

The Moon’s transit of Scorpio all day draws us to transformative and emotionally exciting experiences.

The Moon is void from 8:52 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Sagittarius the next day, Saturday, June 3rd, at 1:04 AM EDT.

Saturday, JUNE 3

The Moon leaves Scorpio at 1:04 AM EDT and enters spirited Sagittarius. A Full Moon occurs tonight at 11:42 PM EDT in the sign of Sagittarius when the Moon opposes the Gemini Sun.

The Full Moon is a time of culmination and an emotional period of romance, fertilization, and relationships. The Gemini Sun encourages us to pay more attention to facts and logic, while the Sagittarius Moon persuades us to intuit and think more broadly. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the “here and now.” Gemini is comfortable in–and an expert on–its immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond it.

Neglecting either end of the axis will backfire–we’re best off seeking a balance. This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and a sense of adventure.

While the Sagittarius Full Moon is freeform and impulsive, Mercury’s quintile with Saturn today helps with thoughtful and practical communications.

The Moon is void today until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 1:04 AM EDT.

Sunday, JUNE 4

The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius, and we seek non-routine, spontaneous experiences. We’re also hungry to learn new things.

Reinforcing this excitement is Mercury’s alignment with Uranus. We can feel inspired to think and connect or communicate in new, fresh ways. It can be a time of mental breakthroughs, innovative thinking, and perhaps nervous energy. We’re not content merely recycling old ideas or performing repetitive processes; we are quick to latch onto progressive approaches and methods.

We might stir things up or shock others with our opinions, ideas, and communications. Our senses may overload to the point that we are scatterbrained, impulsive, or impatient. However, if channeled well, we can arrive at especially inventive, original, progressive, and unbiased ideas and methods.

The Moon is void from 11:25 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Capricorn tomorrow, Monday, June 5th, at 3:32 AM EDT.

Monday, JUNE 5

The Moon continues its transit of Sagittarius only until 3:32 AM EDT, after which it visits ambitious, practical Capricorn. The Capricorn Moon turns our attention to our goals and plans.

Venus heads into the sign of Leo today, where it will visit until October 8th. Venus spends many months longer than usual in Leo due to its upcoming retrograde cycle (from July 22nd to September 3rd).

During its extended stay in the sign, we take pride in love and are generous with our money. It’s a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. We feed on attention, acknowledgment, validation, and adoration. We have a substantial ego investment in our love lives during this period.

However, we should watch for extravagance and overstating our feelings simply for the effect. The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a solid or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a compelling desire to stand out, be remarkable, and feel special during this period.

As playful and generous as this cycle can be, Venus opposes Pluto today. With this tense transit, we’re confronting areas of our lives where we might be holding onto something too tightly for fear of losing it. Confrontations or events can bring complicated feelings and fears to a head. We may make uncomfortable discoveries now, and while some of these can ultimately help us, we may be pushing too far for answers. We should watch for manipulative behavior arising from insecurities or fear of betrayal.

Tuesday, JUNE 6

The Moon spends the day in Capricorn, and we strive for increased self-sufficiency. We’re incredibly goal-oriented and particularly aware of our responsibilities and performance. Our judgment is sound, and practical matters are a significant focus.

A creative aspect between Venus and Saturn inclines us to maneuver and plan tastefully. We may be showcasing our reliability and loyalty.
