Well, I wish I could say things were going to be all rainbows and sunshine but they are not. Fasten your seat belts cause it's about to get real. It seems like we have been encountering more and more dramatic astrological events over the last few months which to me says we are headed for something even bigger as we go forward.
June 27th the Moon will be in Pisces Conjunct Saturn in Pisces, bringing with it the much needed focus that will allow you to center on your goals. Let me tell you, you are going to need that energy. You will likely find yourself presented with opportunities to make changes in the work space and take out the long over due garbage. Take advantage of this and don't doddle.
June 28th The Moon will enter Aries and bring with it a transformative and uplifting energy and you will be able to ride that high for the rest of the day. Do what you can to take charge in your work and personal space today, just don't over do it.
June 29th Venus we be in Cancer Sextile Mars in Taurus. This will open a door to deep and intense emotions and feelings in your personal relationships. However that may not be the best thing. It could be like kicking the hornets nest. Try to keep in mind that if you or your partner have a tendency to struggle with those deeper emotions now is a time to try to be extra sensitive. If you are the one who struggles in this space, try to take a deep breath and realize that Rome wasn't built in a day. Changes won't happen overnight, and those deep feelings are going to be there under the surface for a long time to come. Communicate your frustration with your partner. I know it won't be easy for you, but trust me, even a little communication will make a world of difference in this space.
Sadly, Saturn will start its almost six month long Retrograde in Pisces today as well. Don't freak out just yet! Saturn Retrograde is a time when doors tend to close and stay closed. Saturn is kind of like the end all be all power in the universe and it has a tendency to force change. Whenever this astrological megalithic power is driving energy into a situation you can be sure that something will happen, that things will get done, and that things get pushed through no matter what. However with Saturn Retrograde that energy will be on hold to some degree, or drastically diminished. Because of this you might find that opportunities at work are not coming along as easily, or that those who were warm and receptive now seem distant and cold. This is TEMPORARY! I assure you that It will not last. The Saturn Retrograde will end on November 15th 2024.
As always, Don't panic! Secondly, don't make any major changes or jump ship on your job. Retrogrades are a time when it is best to avoid making big choices. My suggestion is ride it out. However if you have no choice and you are pushed out that is a different story. Sometimes that's just how the music goes. With the influence of Pisces on Saturn Retrograde you can dig deeply into the emotional chasm and seek to mend or end connections in your heart. This is a season of change it's time to do some soul searching and create a plan for how to remove obstacles from your life. Including old friends and those who are simply trying to ride your coat tails to the award show.
June 30th the Moon will enter Taurus, Square Pluto in Aquarius. This is one of those times when it's best to avoid the lure and temptation of workplace conflicts and politics. You have a choice to make here. It's kind of like coming to a fork in the road, only you will probably find numerous forks in this road the further you go. You can choose to stay the course, avoid the drama, and refuse to engage with those who are trying to draw you into a conflict. This is the best thing you can do for yourself right now. If on the other hand you just can't help yourself, or you feel that it is necessary to forge a new path with fire, then make sure you are ready to burn all the bridges you leave behind. The conflicts that we face over the next few months while dealing with the energy of the Saturn Retrograde will inevitably make it a challenge for anyone to regain ground once they have lost it and one conflict could lead to another. This forking road man!
July 1st the Moon will be in Taurus Sextile Saturn in Pisces. As if the retrograde wasn't already focused enough the universe has seen fit to place a magnifying glass over our emotional state. With a Pisces Taurus mix of energy running through Saturn and the Moon you will likely find that you feel rather indifferent toward your significant other. This could be a major problem. Communication could break down and worse, a gap in that communication could lead to unspoken fears taking root and manifesting into anger. The last thing that we need in this situation is more frustration. If you feel yourself pulling back, or saying meh, instead of dropping off the face of the planet have a conversation. If all you can muster is a text message, that will suffice. Just remember to let the one you care about know that you are having a hard time. That you are taking a step back, but it is NOT because of them, that you just need some time to get back to being yourself, and that everything WILL be okay.
July 2nd Neptune will begin its nearly six month long Retrograde. Yeah, now you can freak out a little bit. Yes, that is right. We have two Retrogrades which will start within days of each other and run overlapping for nearly the next six months. Before you have a total melt down, remember that you have read this blog and you are prepared to navigate this situation because I have so thoughtfully provided a map of this here mine field. You know how to read a map, right?
Neptune will add to the already confused energy of Pisces and cloud over your ability to stay focused. You will have to work doubly hard to stay on course and double check those headings to make sure that we haven't missed our turn. Over the next few months the road ahead becomes more like a corn maze shrouded in mist and fog. Navigating this path is going to be a challenge that you will have to work at. You will almost certainly encounter obstacles as you try to find your way out of this maze. Unresolved issues from your past may circle back to become a road block until you resolve them. You will very much need to try and keep your wits about you and trust that inner voice. Even the best prepared traveler can get lost and find new obstacles that were not marked on their map. Trust yourself to find the way around these obstacles.
Today Mercury will also enter Cancer Trine Neptune in Pisces. This little ray of sunshine will give you a chance to punch through some of the fog and think outside of the box. Like a lantern in the darkness this little push of creative communication focused energy will help you talk your way out of a bad situation and get back on the path.
Oh yeah there is more, we will also have Venus in Cancer Trine Saturn in Pisces today. Remembering to flex those communication skills you might try being more aggressive about accomplishing your goals today. Diligence and a firm hand are required to pull this off. Try not to get distracted.
Oh, you thought this day was done huh,..... Mercury will also enter Leo. This, while it might sound scary is actually a good thing. Leo will give you a sense of pride in communication and with it the ability to feel confident in other areas of your life that you will have to navigate. This is like the energy drink or the whole pot of coffee before that big meeting. Remember that too much of a good thing is a bad thing and that if you get too confident you will likely draw a conflict. Try to keep it within the bounds of propriety.
Finally, as if there wasn't enough going on today already, the Moon will enter Gemini. Oh yay. Can you hear my eyes rolling? With everything that is at work in the stars today adding Gemini to the mix makes this a proverbial teeter totter of an energetic environment. We are constantly being bombarded with opposing elements of focus and distraction. The word for the day might very well be exhaustion. Gemini in the Moon will have you feeling divided between trying to focus on work and play. You may find yourself trying to play at work and trying to work through play time. Try to strike a balance. I know that is asking a lot today, just try. For me, please.
July 3rd Mercury will be in Leo Opposite Pluto in Aquarius. Today is one of those days, like: "I swear to you know who if Karen says one more manipulative word I'm going to snap and use her face for a spit wad dart board!" Well, juvenile as it may seem the point is still the same. Tension is running high today and with all the cosmic power behind it you may feel that you are being controlled by those at work. Despite the fact that you are underappreciated and that you are being taken advantage of, try to focus on anything else but conflict. Alternatively if you find that you have reached your limit and you are ready to burn this bridge, you might want to consider selling tickets to the show. The universe is on your side and boy oh boy has it got some fireworks ready for the big send off.
I haven't even gotten to the Mercury Retrogrades yet. Yes I said Retrogrades, plural. While inside of Saturn and Neptune Retrograde we will enter Mercury Retrograde on August 4th and it will last until August 27th. Just a few short months later as Neptune Retrograde is coming to a close we will enter another Mercury Retrograde from November 25th until December 15th. I know that these dates are a ways off but I can only imagine that with the impact of these other retrogrades it is probably going to be a really tense Mercury Retrograde Season. I will be taking a closer look at these events and sending out detailed updates about them as we draw closer.
This is going to be a wild one folks. I really can't express how important it is that you keep your wits about you and focus on the good stuff as much as you can. Keep your chin up and if you get lost in the dark out there, remember I'm here to help guide you back safely. Stay tuned for my special report on this Double Retrograde. I will be doing a detailed general reading on how things look for the next few months as we go through this event.
