JUNE 2003 by Bob Mulligan

Several rare and striking astronomical events give this June a flavor of real importance. Jupiter (Lord of expansion) and Neptune (Ruler of ideals) are making their last opposition. This tension has encouraged people to make investments beyond their means, to overreach. Next, Jupiter makes a trine to Pluto (Lord of extremes). We are encouraged to sacrifice our inertia and our pride. Saturn (Planet of discipline) goes into Cancer (Sign of home). This is a time (two years), of life narrowing down in the USA; after all, we are a Cancer country. Also, people will be spending more time in their homes. This month the use of mass communication technology will expand; as Saturn leaves Gemini (sign of distribution), some things will work better in the area of transportation and communication. Uranus (Lord of infinite possibilities) turns retrograde; Uranus then moves into a trine of Saturn (master of the obvious). We have a good balance between hope and fear, between new age vision and old tried and true methodology. These aspects pick up energy from the involvement of Mars and the Sun; both principles of activity.

At the end of last month we had two eclipses; one lunar followed by a solar. These planetary aspects for June are triggering many sensitive eclipse points making this month a big time for change.

1st - Sunday -Venus contra-parallel Mars, and Mercury contra-parallels Pluto. We hang on to threads that represent how things used to be. Have an eye for the future as some new possibilities are emerging.

2nd - Monday - Venus contra-parallels Neptune, Jupiter opposite Neptune. Optimism and idealism are too strong to resist today. Abrupt changes can be made now, but it is also easy to wander far from your expressed goals. Notice how your mind is moving today. If it is erratic, jumping from thing to thing, avoid any actions where you expect something in return for your trouble.

3rd - Tuesday - Mercury quincunx Pluto, Saturn enters Cancer, Sun trine Neptune, today we act. Life is changing and we are going along with it. Mental clarity can be a wonderful remedy for emotional stagnation.

4th - Wednesday - Sun Sextile Jupiter, Venus parallel Jupiter. It is a happy forward-looking day. We are making progress on all kinds of things. It is possible to move forward with great tenacity of purpose. You can be really lucky today if you just realize it.

5th - Thursday - Moon opposite Neptune then conjunct Jupiter, Venus square Mars. We work hard to try to move forward now. Our urge to expand is conflicting with our desire to be comfortable.

6th - Friday -Sun parallel Saturn. Be disciplined today and reevaluate your resent decisions. Do they support your long-term goals? If they don't, strive to overcome your fears.

7th - Saturday - Uranus turns retrograde - Today we are in the decision-making mode, again. We are rethinking and testing assumptions we used to correct our direction last week.

8th - Sunday - Mercury contra-parallel Mars - Reason and desire pull against each other. We may find our ability to create is greatly enhanced if we truly understand our own security need and our unconscious impulses.

9th - Monday - Sun opposite Pluto. Old wounds surface, however, it is possible to do something new now. Be willing to listen to others; avoid all forms of judgment and dogma in your own thinking.

10th - Tuesday - Venus enter Gemini and then semi-sextiles Saturn. It's time for a change in our way of seeking enjoyment. Be willing to try something new today if it won't get you into trouble.

11th - Wednesday - Mercury square Mars and contra-parallel Neptune. Mercury parallel Jupiter. It's a beautiful day. Be careful not to overstate your case when trying to convince others. Bold steps are called for; now is the time.

12th - Thursday. - Venus square Uranus. Mercury enters Gemini. Today is meant to be fun. Have an adventure even if you are stuck in a routine. You can be free even when you are trapped by limits not in your control.

13th- Friday - Mercury semi-sextile Saturn. All charged up and no place to go? Don't be anxious about the lack of opportunity. There are several outlets for your enthusiasm. Think, be imaginative, and disciplined.

14th - Saturday - The Full Moon is today at 7:17am EDT at 23 Sagittarius. Mercury squares Uranus. This is a time for adventure and reaching new conclusions. Be willing to go it alone if necessary. Avoid arguments.

15th - Sunday - Today is pleasant if you just coast. Stay with your original plans and aim at gaining self-knowledge.

16th - Monday - Mars enters Pisces. We have a subtle yet profound energy shift. Make sure your emotions are what you want them to be as they tend to be more dilated and out there now.

17th - Tuesday - Jupiter contra-parallel Neptune. Every single person has aspirations that are different than the collective picture of the good. We have much inertia pulling against the grain of what we need to do today. Be bold and creative. You have dreams; don't let them die. However, avoid escaping into fantasy as compensation for what you aren't able to make happen in your life.

18th - Wednesday - Impulsive and energized we all tend to act too quickly today. Correctly channeled this is a wonderful period of completion.

19th - Thursday - Sun Sesquiquadrate Neptune. This is the time of dreams. Let them manifest without interference.

20th - Friday - Venus and Mercury both trine Neptune then conjunct each other. Now it is possible to genuinely understand what we have been going through.

21st - Saturday - Sun enters Cancer. A sense of consolidation, a sense of peace, a sense of joy can be will us today. It's a time of looking back. It's a time of family, of foundations, of being present.

22nd - Sunday - Mercury parallel Venus. We have strong foundations to build on today. Be prepared to take some steps forward. You have some ideas and today is a perfect time to share them, only stay willing to listen to others.

23rd - Monday - Mars trine Saturn, Mercury opposite Pluto, Venus sextile Jupiter, Mars conjunct Uranus. This is a really lucky day for you if you can recognize it. Much is being offered to you. Be open and accepting. We are in a "house of fire" and events unfold rapidly.

24th - Tuesday - Mercury parallel Saturn, Sun conjunct Saturn. Sun trine Uranus, Saturn trine Uranus, Venus opposite Pluto, Sun trine Mars. With so much important activity today we will see things manifesting in embryonic form that will only be materializing in the outer world over the next few months. The feelings today are basically emotional harmony between the new world order and the culture of the late 20th century, which now only really exists in our memories. Our new reality is something quite different.

25th - Wednesday - Emotional assertion is the pattern of the day. It is harder to see the limits when we are asserting ourselves, but when we are at rest doubt can emerge.

26th - Thursday - Venus parallel Saturn, Sun parallel Mercury. Reorganize your thoughts today. Limits are good, they help us prioritize.

27th - Friday - It's a good day for listening to music or taking in some cultural event. Let the higher side of your personality out. Let others inspire you. Share.

28th - Saturday - Mercury Sesquiquadrate Neptune. Write down your thoughts and communicate with any people where there has been any past misunderstanding. It is possible to get a new leg up on things today.

29th - Sunday - Mercury enters Cancer then, New Moon at 2:40PM EDT at 7 Cancer. Today is a time of hope and feeling for love and promise of a better future. A better world built on the accomplishment of family life and personal life collectively operating at a higher level.

30th - Monday - Mercury trine Uranus then semi-square Jupiter. Be prepared to take bold new steps today. Be confident. The journey may be long but it is only infinite if you never take the first step. Be willing to try.
