Monday, June 13
The moon enters Sagittarius.
At 00:31 the moon enters fire sign Sagittarius, where it will be full on Tuesday. Wisdom, knowledge, arrogance.
Mercury enters Gemini.
At 17:26 Mercury enters its home sign, Gemini. Mercury in Gemini is auspicious for writing, communicating, education, translating, and even trade and commercialism.
There are now four planets in their home signs: Venus is in Taurus, Mars Aries, Saturn Aquarius, and Mercury Gemini. When planets are in the signs of their domicile, they are predictable.

Full moon in Sagittarius.
The moon is exactly full at 13:51, 23º25’ Sagittarius. The full moon in Sagittarius is about balancing mind and spirit. The tension between what is righteous and what is practical is illuminated. Of course one can believe in something, but how is it practiced?
If you want to see how this falls in your chart, look for planets that are close to that degree to check for aspects. You can also see what house the full moon falls in, and topics related to that house.
Take Prince’s birth chart for example
. In this chart, Sagittarius is his 2nd house. The 2nd house is the house of personal resources, which is typically finances, but can be other things that support the individual, like self-esteem, time, food, or maybe in Prince’s case, his masterpieces.The full moon at 23º25’ Sagittarius will closely conjunct Prince’s natal Saturn at 22º51’. I predict that this full moon can correspond with an event concerning his creative property and assets, and legal rights to these contracts, post-mortem.
The full moon in Sagittarius reminds me of the Alex Jones bit in Waking Life (2001). Especially because this one is sextile Saturn in Aquarius and square Neptune— very conspiratorial information is emerging! Things can be expressed passionately, loudly, and people can be extremely sure of themselves and their gut feelings.

The moon enters Capricorn.
At 00:13 the moon enters grounded earth sign Capricorn. The transition from Sagittarius to Capricorn is like the morning after, dealing with the consequences of “I don’t see why not.” Shame, sobriety, duty. Rewards for a job well done; the final aspect of the moon in Capricorn is a trine to Venus. Luxury, materialism.
The moon meets Pluto, so maybe indulgence/shame is some sort of behavioral feedback loop.
Bugs are Plutonian to me. Reproduction rates can be faster than death, so their lifespan increases as a collective. Out of many, one.

The sun harmonizes with Saturn.
At 09:13 the sun harmonizes with Saturn, which stationed retrograde last week. Whenever planets are in the same element as the sun, making a trine aspect, they station retrograde or direct.
This is an easy aspect for legal processes (easy doesn’t always mean “good”, especially since Saturn is a party pooper). The sun and Saturn both concern justice, litigation, parents, and law. Big week for court cases. Maybe the retrograde of Saturn shows delays or a rehashing.
The sun clashes with Neptune.
At 15:41 the sun clashes with Neptune. A vibe shift. This can be stimulating for art, fashion, music, and using imagination to carve out something visually appealing. However, events reveal ego poisoning or delusional personalities.
The moon enters Aquarius.
At 23:44 the moon enters air sign Aquarius, where it harmonizes with the sun, making a gorgeous waning gibbous moon. Whatever was revealed during the full moon is being integrated, with focus. Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, which can be picky and critical.
Saturday, June 18
Venus clashes with Saturn.
At 23:31 love planet Venus, at home in Taurus, clashes with Saturn, which is also at home in Aquarius. Venus indulges and Saturn restricts. Commitment, discipline, and sacrifice are necessary in artforms and relationships. But some things are not worth the wait.
Venusian topics like art, relationships, and things that give pleasure are met with a framework of sustainability. What good are these frills in the long haul? It might be challenging to live in the moment if we’re stuck wondering about the future. Alternately, this awareness of limitations and boundaries can make something beautiful and intentional happen.
Venus is about to perfectly connect with Neptune as well, There is a commitment happening based on something extremely idealistic and possibly imaginary. Limits are put in place to protect from feeling too vulnerable.
Sunday, June 19
The moon enters Pisces.
At 01:01 the moon enters Pisces. Inner exploration. Looking inward before moving outward. Finding things that exist externally, within. Don’t get lost in the sauce.
Venus connects with Neptune.
At 06:06 Venus makes a fantastical sextile to Neptune at 25º25’. While Venus is square to serious Saturn it is also connecting with Neptune, the planet of art, fashion, and trends. Instead of just enjoying whatever it enjoys, purely sensually, Venus is critically engaging with collective ideas and beliefs. An interesting moment for aesthetics. Trendwatch time.
