May Recap: Dialing the Station, Surfacing the Dream
May 2025 unfolded as a month of mental calibration, sifting through the frenetic discourse of Jupiter’s year-long sprint through Gemini. Mercury’s entry into Gemini (its home sign) brought clarity to the static, tuning into specific signals and allowing ideas to snap into place. The joy of classification returned, rekindling curiosity amid the unfiltered excess of thought.
The month ended with a shift in elemental tone as Saturn entered Aries (a move from Pisces’ watery depths to cardinal fire), trading deliberation for speed. This tense combination—Saturn’s structure meeting Aries’ impulsiveness—may push processes past their tolerances. The approaching Saturn-Neptune conjunction (exact in 2026, blending structure and dissolution) stirs the collective dreambody, a pressurized convergence of vision and constraint. Saturn’s retrograde back into Pisces later this year will audit the underwater infrastructure left behind.
June 2025: Soft Landings & The Summer Reset
June 2025 marks a restorative pivot, a gentle exhale after months of chaotic, debilitated, or eclipsed planets. A cohort of planets—Venus, Jupiter, and Mars—step into signs of dignity, weaving a season of coherence and exuberance. Venus enters Taurus (her domicile) on June 5, grounding us in tangible beauty. Jupiter enters Cancer (its exaltation) on June 8, deepening the emotional cadence of summer. Mars enters Virgo on June 17, channeling precision and service. This dignified trio offers a rare moment of fun, restoration, and integration.
With Venus in Taurus and Jupiter in Cancer, this is an ideal time to schedule a vacation, soaking up sensual delights and emotional connection. After the cosmic turbulence of recent months, plan a retreat to a lush landscape or cozy haven to recharge with loved ones.
Yet, Saturn in Aries (since May 2025) ignites a bold undercurrent, urging us to dismantle outdated patterns. Jupiter’s squares to Saturn and Neptune complicates the picture, but June opens a window for pleasure and poise before the coming decade’s tighter grip.
Venus in Taurus: Savoring the Taste
June 5, 2025
Venus enters Taurus (her domicile, where she’s strongest) on June 5, radiating sensuality and stability. In her morning star phase, she sparks tactile connections and creative fertility, guiding us with sensuous clairvoyance toward what nourishes—rich meals, soft textures, or time in nature. Venus embodies value, reminding us that affection and intimacy are essential, not luxuries.
With Jupiter in Cancer, this is a perfect moment to plan a vacation to a lush retreat or natural setting, embracing Venus’ grounding pleasures.
Jupiter in Cancer: Exalted Hearth
June 8, 2025 – June 30, 2026
Jupiter enters Cancer (its exaltation, where it amplifies growth) on June 8, shifting from Gemini’s mental saturation to the moral imagination of emotional depth. Here, Jupiter tends the roots—nurturing belonging, memory, and cultural bonds. This transit fosters care and protection, investing in what sustains life, from family to home. It’s a time for anchoring values in people and place, not systems.
Jupiter’s squares to Saturn and Neptune (in Aries) test our convictions against material reality, urging balance between growth and discipline. For magical or devotional work, this is a potent window for rituals around protection or ancestral connection, especially aligned with Moon phases. Pair this with Venus in Taurus for a vacation that reconnects you with loved ones or a place that feels like hearth.
Transits Part I: Echoes, Crossroads, and the Bendings
June 8–15
Mid-June closes the Gemini–Sagittarius axis, shifting from mental proliferation to emotional anchoring.
- June 8 – Mercury conjunct Jupiter at 29° Gemini (anaretic degree, a critical point): Mercury meets Jupiter, distilling a year’s worth of information into eloquent closure. Expect moments of clarity, and breakthroughs in area that seemed irreconcilable.
- June 11 – Full Moon in Sagittarius (opposing the Sun, at the lunar nodes’ midpoint): This lunation, at the bendings (midpoint between eclipse seasons), sparks foresight and clairvoyance. Ruled by Jupiter (now in Cancer), the Moon in Sagittarius channels intuitive insights, urging you to see beyond the present and envision new paths. Trust your inner compass to align with truths that resonate deeply, even if they challenge convention.
- June 15 – Jupiter square Saturn / Jupiter under the beams / Mars square Uranus: A tense trio brings friction and insight. Jupiter square Saturn (growth vs. limits) urges strategic pruning. Jupiter under the beams (less visible, more intuitive) works through instinct and behind the scenes. Mars square Uranus sparks sudden ruptures—emotional or practical. Navigate carefully, trusting the clarity gained.
Mars in Virgo: Precision After Provocation
June 17, 2025
Mars enters Virgo, gaining triplicity (strength by night), and shifts toward methodical, solitary work. This transit favors repairing systems, refining skills, and embracing discipline. After mid-June’s volatility, Mars in Virgo offers quiet correction, perfect for tackling neglected tasks.
Transits Part II: Navigating with Faith
June 18–25
June’s second half blurs and softens, with Neptune’s influence casting ambiguity and the Jupiter Cazimi casting light upon faith and emotional sensitivity.
- June 18 – Moon conjunct Saturn and Neptune in Aries: This stirs doubt or spiritual weight, blending Saturn’s discipline with Neptune’s dreaminess.
- June 20 – Sun enters Cancer (Summer Solstice): The Solstice squares Saturn and Neptune, drawing focus inward toward protection and care.
- June 24 – Jupiter Cazimi (aligned with the Sun’s heart): A brief moment of moral clarity and emotional centering, amplified by Jupiter in Cancer.
New Moon in Cancer: Seed & Shelter
June 25, 2025
The New Moon in Cancer, conjoined with exalted Jupiter, plants a seed in fertile emotional soil. This lunation speaks in gut feeling and quiet resolve, inviting you to nurture what matters—home, heart, or dreams. Squares to Saturn and Neptune (in Aries) create tension: Saturn asks which outdated boundaries must fall, like the Berlin Wall in 1989 the last time we saw Saturn-Neptune conjoin. Where have you built personal “walls” that no longer serve? Mars in Virgo’s sextile offers grounded support, pointing to small, repeatable actions.
Closing the Month: Epochal Sylphs
June 28–30, 2025
Mercury enters Leo on June 28, igniting bold, performative expression—a spark that heralds the arrival of epochal sylphs, electrifying spirits of change. On July 7, Uranus enters Gemini (the sign of language and multiplicity), joining Pluto in Aquarius (disrupting structures through innovation) and Neptune in Aries (dissolving old ideals for new visions) in a trio of epoch-defining transits. These celestial shifts will reshape communication, ideology, and identity over the coming decade, stirring a restless, revolutionary breeze. As Uranus last danced through Gemini during the birth of the United States, expect visionary voices and disruptive ideas to take flight, carried by the sylphs’ elusive wings. June closes with shelter found, but the air hums with the promise of a new chapter.
