Although this week has a New Moon in Gemini, the featured player is really Venus, who will travel through a series of adjustments, revelations and course corrections. Your heart and values are having a mini-makeover this week.
June 12 – Uranus square the Nodes of Fate (exact)
Although you’ve been feeling called to move into more intuitive Being and less attached to old rigid ways of operating, today this aspect is exact. If you’re moving in the right direction, you will feel aligned with the changes and if you’re stuck in an old paradigm, you may be presented with unexpected shifts, redirections and opportunities for the next few weeks. This is one of the signature aspects of 2026, representing the pull between the familiar path and the future that beckons you forward.
June 12 – Mercury enters its Retrograde Shadow
What transpires between now and June 29 when Mercury Retrograde begins will be fertile ground for review and revision. This suggests that events that unfold over the next several weeks are part of a larger story. Pay attention to what begins now, because you will likely revisit, revise or gain greater clarity during the Retrograde cycle ahead. Rather than rushing for answers, stay curious.
June 13 – Venus square Chiron
With Venus and Chiron at the final degrees of Cancer and Aries, you may become aware of old vulnerabilities around love, belonging, safety, visibility or Self-worth. Yet this is arriving to reveal what still needs your compassion and tenderness. Find ways to get the support and care you need and don’t turn your back on your beautiful Self.
June 13-July 8 – Venus in Leo
As Venus enters Leo it reminds us that the heart was never meant to hide — it encourages our creativity and playfulness, it wants us to love generously and wholeheartedly. This is not a subtle Venus. It seeks warmth, affection, loyalty, romance, celebration and genuine appreciation. There is a desire to be seen, cherished, and valued — not for what you do, but for the magnificent Being that you are.
This brings up a simple but profound question: Who would you be and what would you do if you trusted your heart’s desires more than your fear? Don’t miss the opportunity to show up, show out and play!
June 14 – New Moon in Gemini @ 7:54pm PDT
We have a New Moon in the curious, social sign of Gemini and this year, it’s as if you have a new pair of glasses and a whole new perspective. The New Moon is a time for new beginnings, to take an action directed toward what you want to increase, create or cultivate. You are planting seeds that will come to fruition as the days unfold.
This New Moon opens a fresh cycle of possibilities through conversations, info, choices and new viewpoints. Be open to new ideas, as we are now fully in Info-palooza with AI and all the new methods of accessing, creating and communicating. Explore the options, gather info and enjoy what stimulates you. Like a gem, your mind is multi-faceted, so discover what can enhance and inform your life in new ways.
The Ruler of the New Moon is Mercury in Cancer, adding a more reflective, intuitive tone to Gemini’s naturally curious and social nature. Rather than seeking info through constant interaction, you may prefer to nurture your overwhelmed mind by processing what you learn privately. Reading, journaling, studying, researching or connecting from the comfort of home may be more appealing than being out in the world.
Mercury in Cancer absorbs information through feeling as much as thinking, encouraging you to trust your instincts as you sort through new ideas and possibilities.
Since Mercury will be Retrograde from June 29 through July 23, then remain in Cancer until August 9, this is an extended journey of reflection, review and emotional insight. Pay attention to what emerges now, as you may be revisiting these themes for weeks to come.
The following days bring a remarkable sequence of aspects, with all three transpersonal planets lined up to greet Venus, one by one, day after day.
June 15 – Venus sextile Uranus
This can bring unexpected opportunities, surprising connections or welcome developments. Maybe you decide to spice up your relationship, style, presentation or indulge a desire you normally wouldn’t. Be flexible. Sometimes blessings arrive through doors you never intended to open.
June 16 – Venus trine Neptune
Allow yourself to receive. You have the opportunity to soothe any rough edges and bathe in bliss —spiritually, creatively, romantically, or simply through moments of leisure, as you nourish yourself in dreams, imagination and receptivity.
June 17 – Venus opposes Pluto
Something is bound to arise today that is calling for honesty or greater transparency. The heart has been on quite a journey this week and now arrives at a moment of truth. Something may emerge that brings greater clarity about a relationship, a desire, a value or a financial matter.
Pluto directs attention beneath the surface, highlighting what is hidden and revealing what is genuine, what is unsustainable, and what can no longer be ignored. Avoid power struggles and confrontations today if you can help it.
As life continues to unfold in unexpected ways, keep your heart open. Stay curious. Allow yourself to receive new info, new experiences and new opportunities. You don’t need all the answers right now. Trust what is being revealed. And take extra good care of your Self.
The path forward may not be what you expected, but it may be exactly what you need.
As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
