 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: June 26 @ 10:09 am (ET) @ 7:09 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Aquarius 
  • Moon Quarter: 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: June 27 @ 3:08 pm (ET) @ 12:08 pm (PT) to moon into Pisces on the 28th.  Aquarius Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now.
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Aquarius is “different”,  he is ahead of his time and capable of thinking and “seeing” things in a different way then the rest of us. 
  • Aquarius is ruled by Uranus,  the planet of  shock and chaos.
  • We may feel may inclined towards kindness, especially on a “global” level or towards animals, the elderly and those worse off. 
  • Getting along with our four-legged friends may be on the top of our list now. 
  • The time may be right to understand/learn about new technology.
  • This moon period can bring out the rebel in us, prompting us to try new things and or meet new people. 
  • Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being different or as some may see it, “difficult” Teenagers may feel the need to express themselves, so parents be for warned. 
  • Personal freedom and individuality is very important now. Partner’s try not to restrict each other’s movements. Parent’s it might be a tight line you walk now. Employer’s give your “worker’s” a little “slack”. 
  • Being organized might not be as easy now, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings…
  • Changes may be in the air…if you are o.k. with change, it’s possible to make long-term plan changes now..
  • Could be a good time for inventions, putting pen to paper is more appropriate at this time,  instead of going full steam ahead with concrete plans. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And  those with a strong Leo placing in their charts. 
  • The next few days may be positive for: Joining a club, borrowing money, fixing cars, hair care (colors and chemical treatments), moving, painting, pouring cement, starting a new job or new construction. 
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the  11th house
  • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aquarius
  • Any aspects to the Moon or the sun . 

NOTES: depositphotos_156247980-stock-illustration-venus-planets-and-stars-of[1]Venus the planet of love and money enters Leo on June 26 @ 9:27 pm (PT) and on June 27 @12:27 am (ET). Leo likes the good things in life, think Royalty so watch the budget, unless you have extra cash to spare. Venus likes to shop and Leo likes to invest in quality pieces. Venus is also connected to the 7th house of relationships and partnerships, Leo likes to be romantic and have fun… could be a fun getaway in the future for some… :) It might also seem like the “perfect” time to take a financial risk, hmmm is it though? It’s better to be sure. Pride comes before a fall, or so they say, take care of the Ego by keeping him at arms length and all should go well. The Venus/Leo influence will connect more with folks who have Libra, Taurus or Leo chart influences. Folks who have Aries and Aquarius chart influences may also feel the effects of this influence.

The Moon and Astrology

HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-off-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Sagittarius June 2021

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: June 22 @ 8:55 am (ET) @ 5:55 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Sagittarius 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: June 23 @ 10:09 pm (ET) @ 7:09 pm (PT) to moon into Capricorn on the 24th:  Moon v/c in Sagittarius is one of the 4 void of course  “good signs”.
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

    • Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
    • We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care partners who have a possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days. 
    • Because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual… Just take care not to go over the budget… :) *See Neptune note below*
    • We could have more energy for fun things such as music, sports and shows. If you are now “allowed” to participate in such activities, have a blast :) 
    • It’s easier to try something new and exciting just take care not to get carried away.
    • Could be a good time to take a few days for rest, relaxation and laughter
    • Good time for day dreaming and making fantastic plans for the future.
    • The next few days may be positive for: Borrowing money, Buying a car, sending mail or starting a diet. 
    • While this moon will have a slight effect on all of us… those with the following in their charts will feel it stronger as will those who have a strong Gemini placement in their charts. 
  • Moon in Sagittarius
  • Jupiter in Sagittarius
  • Moon in the 9th house
  • Ascendant in Sagittarius
  • Mid-heaven in Sagittarius
  • Sun in Sagittarius
  • Aspects to the Moon, Venus and Jupiter.

NOTES: Pluto the Planet that rules Scorpio, is secretive, mystical and a little bit “off the wall” ;) He is powerful where ever he lands in your chart… Pluto is one of the slowest moving of the planets, he spends a lot of time in one sign and is therefor referred to as a “generational planet” as he affects a generation of people… :) On April 27 Pluto turns retrograde, he stays retrograde until the beginning of October… It is unlikely that a Pluto retrograde motion will affect anyone greatly, however, those with strong Pluto chart influences may find some life area’s a little more challenging for the next few months… The best way to handle any retrograde planetary influences is to “go with the flow” don’t expect miracles and be prepared to do things over again.. Patience is the key, the retrograde motion can be a blessing in a disguise. 

NOTE 2: Shining blue neon zodiac Mercury symbolMercury, the planet of communication, transportation and technology turns Direct on June 22nd, However, he remains in “storm” until July 1st. It should be getting easier to commute our needs, and any transportation or technology issues, should be closer to getting resolved. Because Mercury remains in “storm” until July 1st, care should be taken regarding any long term commitments agreed upon before July 1st. Mercury’s influence can have an effect on everyone, however, those with strong Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius (the moon is now in Sagittarius) or Pisces chart influences may feel the effects more.

**NOTE 3**: planet-glyph-jupiter-380x235[1]Jupiter, the planet of expansion and “luck” turned retrograde on June 20th. He will remain in retrograde motion until Mid October. His influence becomes personal when there is a strong Jupiter chart influence, such as the Sun, Moon or Mercury being in the sign that Jupiter rules, which is Sagittarius. When a planet goes retrograde it’s like when your house gets turned upside down because you haven’t been able to organize and sort it the way you would like. We are slightly muddled and may have a challenge seeing the whole picture and plans that we make don’t turn out the way we had hoped. In the case of a Jupiter retrograde, because he is such a happy and positive planet some of us may face frustrations or set backs in areas where we thought we had everything under control… Some folks may have a tough time sticking to a diet, and while the Jupiter/Sagittarius energy loves sports, getting in our exercise could also be a challenge… As with all retrograde planetary movements, our best bet is to be patient and go with the flow as much as we can. You can find out which area of life may be affected by the Jupiter retrograde, by checking the connections made in the house where the transiting Jupiter retrograde falls within your own personal chart.

Sun Moves into Cancer June 20 2021: Summer Solstice: Litha:

June 20 2021 The Sun moves into Cancer.

Cancer the Crab: Water: Feminine: Cardinal:

  • Cancer folk are always trying to take care of everyone. ☺Nurturing is in their nature, in fact it’s so inherent in these guys and gals that if they don’t have a family close by they will create one from the folks they spend time with. 
  • Emotional Cancer folk usually operate on ‘gut feelings’ and while they enjoy the company of others around them, spending some time alone in private can do wonders for the energy levels. Like the phases of the moon that rule Cancer, there are times to be out in front and there are times to take a back seat to rejuvenate. 
  • The thing to watch for with being a Cancerian is not to get caught up in the “needy market”… Depending on others to make one feel “better” is not the best way to explore the finer points of one’s nature. We all love to have someone around us who wants to take care of us, but most of us don’t want to be “mothered” all of the time. :)
  • Most “crabs” or those with a “crab” influence are great in the kitchen, as feeding others is another way to say “I love you”. For these folk whipping something up for supper is hardly ever a problem (unless one is feeling a little “crabby”). 
  • Cancer rules the breasts and stomach. Issue’s with the tummy are likely when under stress, during a full moon or when ignoring healthy eating habits. 
  • Sensitive by nature Cancer folk, may at times, imagine slights from others and become defensive or withdrawn (as a crab into its shell) in an effort to block any hurt. This is something that should be watched for especially during emotionally vulnerable times, actions taken or words spoken during this time may cause more upset than intended or needed. 
Warm Birthday Wishes : Ian, Christine, Janine, Rose (cusp)
Warm birthday wishes are sent to everyone celebrating a Cancerian birthday. 

Summer Solstice: June 20 2021

The 1st day of summer for 2021 and the longest day of the year (shortest night for our hemisphere). A positive time where being outside is the norm along with spending time with loved ones and friends. Summer is a celebration of all things light  :) 

As we welcome summer 2021 we give thanks to Mother Earth for the wonders she bestows on us all



Notes ***

 June 20 is Father’s Day… Happy Dad day :)


NOTE 2: SGC Admin: We are late with this post, and we apologize, life got in the way ;) We hope everyone had a delightful Summer Solstice and happy Father’s day gatherings…

  • Date: June 15 @ 11:02 pm (ET) @ 8:02 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Quarter: 1st
  • Void-of-Course: June 17 @ 11:54 pm (ET) @ 8:54 pm (PT) to moon into Libra on the 18th. Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Virgo is all about the details, so be prepared to see to them or at least have someone else see to them for you, you will feel better :) 
  • Try not to worry about things you have no control over, especially things that might not ever happen… Because Virgo “see’s” all the details others miss, it’s hard for her not to worry… 
  • It’s good to keep busy during a Virgo moon, make lists, tidy, organize, plan, find solutions to problems… a lot can get done now
  • Virgo can be more critical than the rest of the zodiac, but only because she needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. Try to give yourself and other’s, a break over the next couple of days. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly they way you had expected.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Pisces placement in their charts..
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Ascendant in Virgo
  • Mid-heaven in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th 
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury. (Mercury in Gemini is retrograde until June 22)
  • Midheaven in Virgo
  • Ascendant in Virgo

The Moon and Astrology; How it affects our daily life; Transiting Moon in Gemini June 2021 New Moon: Solar Eclipse

  • Date: June 8 @ 2:47 pm (ET) @ 11:47 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: June 10th @ 1:38 pm (ET) @ 10:38 am (PT) to moon into Cancer early morning on the 11th
  • Opportunity Period: None

  • NOTES: NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE: June 10th @ 6:53 am (ET) @ 3:53 am (PT). In the sign of Gemini. Set your intensions for the month ahead… take care to be specific.. the Eclipse may make the new moon energy more “magical” so be sure what it is that you “ask” for. 
  • The Solar Eclipse can sometimes indicate stressors that contribute to or “demand” change/adjustment, which may present some difficult challenges. A concentrated effort at compromise is recommended.
  • Changes may be afoot in the communications area, neighbours and siblings may be on the agenda.
  • This New Moon/Solar Eclipse will affect us all but will affect the following signs most: Gemini: Virgo: Sagittarius: Pisces. 
  • Check your chart to see what house/life area the Solar Eclipse/New Moon occurs, it will be in this area that you will be most affected. 

NOTES 2: Mercury is currently in retrograde motion in the sign of Gemini. 


What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury.
  • The house connected to Gemini is the 3rd house of: day-to-day travel/affairs and siblings… we could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… ;) Dealings with family, especially siblings, are likely. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as planned. If you do find you have tons of ideas spinning around in your head, take pen to paper and jot them down… it will ease the “inside chatter” and you may find some of them useful later on. 
  • Could be lots of chit chatting going on, and some of us may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat.
  • Caution is advised when doing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time 
  • It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… we can feel good about putting pen to paper now.
  • Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual. 
  • The next few days may be positive for: buying a vehicle, entertaining guests, hair cut (for less growth), join a club, send mail, and mow the lawn to retard growth. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
        • Sun in Gemini
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Mercury in Gemini
        • Ascendant in Gemini
        • Midheaven in Gemini
        • Any aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mercury or Jupiter
        • Those who have a strong Sagittarius influence in their chart
