HeartwingsandFriends.com - Tasha's AstroPlanner (June)

June presents us with an interesting mix of aspects, as well as the fast pace of Mercury as it speeds through three signs during the month. A multiplicity of communications will be featured in a variety of ways, especially on the Full Moon when Jupiter turns direct. As well, Neptune turns retrograde, mid month, keeping the ratio of three retrograde planets in force.

There is something for everyone as the planets dance about the heavens, with significant aspects on 18 of the 30 days of this month. This means that energetically there will be many opportunities to make use of the planetary energies as is appropriate. Use the felicitous aspects to enhance or forward your projects, use the stressful ones to gain strength as you practice patience or forbearance as needed.

Aspects involving Mercury imply communication and discussion, sometimes also arguments; those involving Venus help bring choices to the fore. Mars aspects relate to use of energy either for building or striving; when the Sun is involved individual efforts can be better focused. Saturn can provide energy for structure or obstruction, Jupiter for expansion or explosion. How we apply ourselves to any situation is paramount to the outcome.

Pluto implies deaths or destruction resulting in rebirth or rebuilding; Uranus brings change—often unexpected, resulting from breakthroughs. Neptune suggests the need to see clearly and to be guided by the highest ideals. Because the Moon moves so quickly through the signs, its relevance refers primarily to its coloration of the energy it brings to any given day. When a sign is in retrograde motion it indicates a slowing down of the given energy.

There is no "good" or "bad" sign, aspect, or planetary indication. There is only energy to be directed by us, for whatever helpful purpose it can be. It has been my experience that when I focus my activities in harmony with the signs and aspects of the day I get more done in an effective manner than when I don't. However if I must go against the flow because of circumstances then perhaps I can learn how to better manage in spite of any obstacles.

That said, here are the suggestions for best use of energies: Days to push your luck, keep your eyes open for opportunities and pursue them: June 1, 3, 9, 12, 13 AM, 21, 23, 24, 28. Days to be more mindful, keep an eye on the (metaphorical) road, and be aware of potential lessons and learning situations: June 2, 4, 13 PM, 15, 16, 18, 25, 26, 27, 29. The 6^th and the 21^st are each days when 2 planets change signs—lots of energy there. Full Moon the 9^th is accompanied by Jupiter's stationing direct, more energy! The New Moon on the 23^rd is close to another powerful aspect for change, good timing to make use of.
