Sunday, JUNE 11

Today’s astrology is busy. Pluto, still retrograde, moves back into the sign of Capricorn. Pluto is slowly transitioning into the sign of Aquarius this year and next. Pluto first left Capricorn on March 23rd, when it headed into Aquarius. But Pluto later turned retrograde (on May 1st) and now returns to Capricorn. Pluto will continue its transit of Capricorn until January 20th, 2024, and we have more renovating to do with our career, life path, rules, and structures.

Also today, Mercury moves into Gemini for a stay until the 26th. It’s a time when we’re more interested in trivia, information tidbits, and detached observations. There can be frequent changes of mind and subject while Mercury is in Gemini in the weeks ahead. We’re flexible and quick to grasp topics.

However, just before Mercury changes signs, it forms a trine to Pluto, newly in Capricorn. There can be an opportunity to gain a mental advantage. Our mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions, offering us increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention. We are drawn to looking for truths and to unexplored topics and ideas. It’s a time to gain a deeper understanding of a matter. We might discover new information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve been avoiding. It’s a good time to let go of something that has kept us bound to harmful elements of the past.

Nevertheless, Venus forms a square to Jupiter, and the Sun is semi-square the planet, pointing to some misjudgments or overblown expectations. These transits can exaggerate or expand our affections, and this state of mind can lead to overdoing and overstating our feelings. We might expect too much from our energy or motivation levels. However, if we keep this in check, it can be helpful for entertaining new ideas and approaches related to pleasure, money, and love.

The Moon is void from from 9:20 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aries at 9:21 AM EDT–a very brief void period!
