  • Moon Sign: Sagittarius
  • Moon Phase: 2nd

  • Opportunity Period: None

  • Sun into Cancer: June 20 
  • Summer Solstice: June 20
  • Litha: June 20
  • FULL MOON: June 21 in the sign of Capricorn.

What does it all mean?

    • Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
    • Sagittarius folks have a reputation for “blunt speak”, some of us may be emboldened to speak up, and out, now. 
    • 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…  take care not to go over the budget… :) (Jupiter changes signs on the 28th). 
    • We could have more energy for fun things such as music, sports and shows
    • 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.
    • 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 and Jupiter.

  • NOTES:
  • June 20 @4:51pm (ET) @1:51pm (PT) The Sun transits into the sign of Cancer: Cancer is ruled by the moon and is connected to the 4th house. Emotionally sensitive, nurturing and caring… Cancer folks enjoy cooking for the people that they care about… 
  • June 20 is Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year… enjoy the celebrations and the extra daylight… 
  • June 20 LITHA: “Litha is one of Wicca’s eight sabbats during the year and occurs on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It celebrates the beginning of summer and celebrates nature’s growing fertility.” Google Search
  • June 21 @ 9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT). Full Moon in Capricorn… please see our “moon in Capricorn” post of June 20 (6 pm)… all moon in Capricorn traits will be “bigger”… :)

Happy Birthday Cancer Folks, we wish each of you a wonderful born day, and a year ahead filled with good health and happiness.


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-of-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 of Course…  when this occurs, we may feel “foggy/unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are really 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 of Course….

However, all is not lost 😎as there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon… 

  • Cancer: Taurus: Sagittarius: Pisces

Opportunity Periods  

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.

  • Date: June 5 2024
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: June 7 @8:16 am(ET) @5:16am (PT) to moon in Cancer a short time later
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • New Moon: June 6th @8:38 am (ET) @ 5:38 am (PT).

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… ;)  
    • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have 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), joining a club, sending mail, and mowing 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
          • Moon in the 3rd house (equal)
          • Mercury in Gemini
          • Ascendant in Gemini
          • Midheaven in Gemini
          • Any aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mercury or Pluto
          • Those who have a strong Sagittarius influence in their chart

New Moon 

Appears in Gemini on June 6th

All of the above influences will be intensified.

Traditionally, the new moon is the best time to begin anything new… wait until the moon moves into the 1st phase on the 7th if you can… :). 

Gemini is a dual sign, the Sun is also in Gemini now… it may be more challenging to know what project to begin first…However, if we can resist the urge to begin more than one thing at a time, we can be more successful at getting something accomplished.  


Notes: Mercury entered the sign of Gemini on Monday, June 3rd. This is a very comfortable position for Mercury, as Gemini is one the signs that he rules.  

Our ability, or need to chatter will be highlighted for the next few weeks… Some of us could find ourselves busier with our community, neighbours or siblings… Take advantage of this time to communicate your needs, getting your point across in a gentle, yet firm manner. 

Mercury also rules technology and transportation, perhaps this is a good time to purchase a new, new/used vehicle and or technological devices… Alternatively, some of us may experience a few “hic-ups” in those area’s.. “Activate” your communication abilities if you do have to deal with mechanics or technicians, you might surprise yourself as to how easily you are able to communicate your concerns. 

Mercury will remain in Gemini until the middle of the month.

  • 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 so needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly the way you had expected, be gentle and patient. 😊

  • Our thinking and communications may be focused on our material security, this may include, where we are living, or where we plan to be living in the near future. Our job, career or vocation direction and how that will provide a secure future will also be a subject at the dinner table.  It may be a good time to have discussions regarding finances, getting personal budgets under control, and figuring out ways to “tighten the belt”. 
  • Taurus, will take her time in figuring out the best path forward, indicating that patience may be needed when it comes to getting answers regarding anything to do with finances.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn April 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

picture Copyright : Elena Besedina
  • Date: April 28 @5:37am (ET) @2:37am (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: April 30 @11:19am (ET) @8:19am (PT) to moon into Aquarius a minute later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: April 29 @11:45 am (ET) @ 8:45 am (PT) to moon void of course. “Very positive OP ideal for constructive and innovative projects, but Mercury is slow and the Moon is waning, so it is preferable to focus on work started before late March” (if possible) PB

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • We may be more in tune with our work/career or vocational direction.
  • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it… 
  • Being disciplined towards our “duties/chores” may be easier to achieve. 
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension. 
  • This could be a good time to get mundane business tasks out-of-the-way
  • If you have been waiting to get a “chaotic” situation under control, now may be a good time to do it. 
  • Rules and regulations may be in focus, and depending on how you deal with these, it could be a favorable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong  Cancer placing in their charts. 
  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Moon in Cancer (to a lessor degree)
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Moon in 10th house
  • Ascendant or Midheaven in Capricorn

NOTES: 
  • April 29 @ 7:31 am(ET) @ 4:31 am (PT) Venus enters Taurus. Venus rules Taurus so she is very comfortable with this visit. Focus is likely to be on material and financial security, which may include a concentrated effort in securing ones own home or property, along with a serious look at the financial side of things. While spending is always on the agenda when Venus is in town, it won’t be surprising to see most folks becoming more selective on what and where they spend. 
  • Mercury went stationary direct on April 25th… Situations will remain a little delayed, and communications can still become muddled until the Beg of May. 

  • 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…

Opportunity Periods:

  • 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.
