Monday, JUNE 17

Venus and Mercury enter Cancer this morning, setting the stage for warmer, more protective communications and expressions of affection in the weeks ahead.

However, these bodies align today, encouraging us to intellectualize or analyze our feelings, leading to a tendency to hash things out, compliment one another, see the positives, and enjoy our exchanges. It’s an excellent time to reach agreements or negotiate with others.

This transit is a cooperative influence that stirs our desire for harmony and balance, which can mean we don’t dig too deeply.

Both planets form quincunxes to Pluto later today and tomorrow, however, and we tend to maneuver and plan. We might be too insistent on getting information, but our hearts may not be ready for it. There can be difficulties digesting or accepting a matter. We might have a hard time getting our message across or coming to a decision/conclusion that feels right, or we trigger negative responses from others. Tension now results from fear-based suspicions. Still, it can also be a time for recognizing the needs and desires that we’ve suppressed.

The Moon’s transit through balanced Libra until 2:38 AM EDT signifies a time of equilibrium, followed by its movement through incisive, perceptive Scorpio, indicating a period of deeper emotional insight.

The Moon is void from 2:05 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mercury), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 2:38 AM EDT.
