We conclude June with dueling energies. There’s a push to get things done within the container of a Mercury Retrograde Station that is slowing things down in order to turn and retrace our recent steps. Pack your patience and decide consciously what you want to handle. Don’t overload your expectations or your To Do list, as this is not a high-volume space. Less is more.
June 28 – Mars sextile Jupiter
If you need to get something done, this is for you. With one final push as Jupiter leaves Cancer, Mars connects to amplify your efforts, enthusiasm and confidence to take action. But we’re also in the Retrograde Station of Mercury, which can cloud info and communications, so double-check decisions, details and schedules. Physical activity will serve you well.
June 28-Aug 13 – Mars in Gemini
Watch the multi-tasking ramp up with the warrior in the sign of the curious, lively, communicator that wants to sample everything. Focus your attention so you don’t get scattered and enjoy connecting, learning, networking and brainstorming ideas.
Mars meets Uranus on July 4, so expect the pace to accelerate as the week unfolds. Unexpected events can occur and although we’re used to sudden changes these days, Mars can be aggressive, impatient or impulsive, and the pair is combustible. Think: fireworks (yes, 4th of July). The best use of Mars-Uranus is to create innovative solutions, a new direction or way of operating. Easy does it…
On June 29 three events occur within twelve hours: Mercury Stations Retrograde, the Full Moon in Capricorn and Jupiter enters Leo, back to back.
June 29-July 23 – Mercury Retrograde in Cancer
Mercury Stationing Retrograde invites you to pause and reflect on where you are, how you feel, what’s working and what needs attention. Does your mindset support growth and evolution or are you stuck in the past? This is a powerful time to realign your thinking so you can connect with people and tools that will support your future.
With Mercury in Cancer, everything feels personal and emotional, maybe relating to family, your history, needs, home and personal life. Let this week be a “time out” to ponder what can serve you. You can realign, revise or course correct once you are clear — and there’s no rush. Allow yourself the space to assess your present circumstances and what you envision going forward, which may change, so don’t become too attached to anything right now. Stay open and flexible.
June 29 – Full Moon in Capricorn @ 4:57pm PDT
The Full Moon in Capricorn usually highlights personal responsibility and discipline, goals and structures that last. It’s practical, methodical and wants to create something real. But this Full Moon is under pressure, being squared by Saturn and Neptune, which changes the story.
You may feel torn between what has always worked and what is trying to emerge. Saturn wants you to show up, while Neptune is dissolving density via old identities, constructs, plans and expectations that are no longer aligned. If something feels uncertain, avoid trying to force clarity, because you can’t. Let this Full Moon reveal what is solid, what is shifting, and what needs to be released so you can build on a stronger foundation.
Capricorn is also your Inner Authority. No matter what your worldly position, you must be able to trust yourself rather than needing approval, permission or agreement in order to make the right decisions for yourself. The Moon and Mercury in Cancer invite you to surround yourself with soul family, those who support your vision, your gifts, growth and evolution during this profound time of collective reconfiguration, as we create new paradigms for living.
Operating behind this Full Moon is a supportive Cradle configuration involving Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus that creates a fertile container of profound potential. As Jupiter enters Leo, it activates this matrix, setting the larger evolutionary design into motion. While our 3D world may feel chaotic, an underlying pattern of planetary grids is driving our collective evolution and holds intelligence far greater than we know. Very exciting.
June 30, ’26-Sept 27, ’27 – Jupiter in Leo
Jupiter in Cancer was about safety, nurturing and cocooning with family. In Leo, it’s time to come out of hiding and step into your heart-centered leadership, whether personally or professionally. You have something special to offer and it’s time to show up and shine your Light. Step into the spotlight on whatever level makes sense for you.
You were not given your gifts to keep them under wraps. Honor yourself and what you’re here to share, allowing for new creative expression to come through you with Jupiter amplifying Leo’s potential.
If you’ve been too serious, it’s time to recover your ability to play and to embody joy again. Your childlike essence is still within you, waiting for the invitation to come out, as Jupiter in Leo loves to party!
July 1 – Jupiter square Chiron
As Jupiter in Leo invites you to step into greater visibility, Self-expression and leadership, its opposition to Pluto intensifies the call to evolve. The pressure of this dynamic is funneled through Chiron in Taurus, revealing wounds around worthiness, money, security, values or the body still limit your willingness to fully show up and express who you are.
Any tension is revealing where healing is needed so you can embody your gifts rather than withholding them. If old inhibitions surface, explore: what would I create, offer, do and who would I become if I knew and embraced my true value? This is the path. Find the help you need so you can participate fully in your life as who you came here to be.
June 19-Sept 17 – Chiron in Taurus
This is about how you value your Self. Your worthiness influences your decisions, goals and determines what you will allow yourself to receive and what you ultimately believe is possible, along with your beliefs about abundance.
We have Chiron in Taurus for three months and then it returns on April 15, 2027 for seven years. Radical Uranus just completed its seven-year tour through Taurus, creating upheaval that Chiron will follow to heal and help you integrate.
Anything that feels challenging to your security or physical wellbeing is ripe for Chiron’s activation and medicine. How you handle what you experience is an inside job and that’s where the real healing takes place.
It’s important to be connected to people who support your growth, expansion and blossoming as we enter new energies later in July. You want people who will support and celebrate you as you shift into creative expressions where you can be even more of your Self in some new way. Stay tuned…
As life continues to unfold in unexpected ways, keep your heart open. You don’t need all the answers now. Trust what is being revealed and take good care of your Self.
As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

”Depression and anxiety may be real. But they can also be resistance.” ~ Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium… the world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” ~ Martha Graham

“Human nature has been sold short … they have a higher nature which includes the need for meaningful work, for responsibility, for creativeness, for being fair and just, for doing what is worthwhile and for preferring to do it well.” ~ Abraham Maslow

“Stop trying to be ordinary.There is nothing special or desirable about being ordinary. In fact, it is totally unacceptable. You are an extraordinary being who must go into motion, into movement so that you will draw to yourself the equivalent of yourself. You have become an energy field that magnetically draws you to that which you are.” ~ Jack Boland
