    • 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.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: June 16 @ 11:38 pm (PT) June 17 @ 2:38 am (ET)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio
  • Moon Phase: 2nc
  • Void-off-Course: June 19 @12:19 pm(ET) @ 9:19 am(PT) to moon into Sagittarius shortly afterwards.  
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?  

  • Scorpio is intense and one of the most “sensitive” of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions and how we react to situations and people
  • We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
  • Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
  • Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
  • Some of us may be highly creative, while others may connect with their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…Take care with whom you share your secrets if you don’t want them “displayed” at a later date. Some folks may keep your information until it suits them to use it without your consent.
  • While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in 8th house
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Those who have a strong Taurus chart influence. 

  • NOTES:
  •  June 16th: Venus visits with Cancer♋ until mid July: Venus watches over money and relationships, Cancer is family orientated and emotionally sensitive, with a strong connection to the past. We may be feeling more affectionate during this time, making our loved ones feel safe and comfy…cooking comfort meals or baking yummy cakes, pies and cookies is just one way we can show our loved ones just how much we care about them…Romance may be on the agenda for some of us… Cupid is about with her little arrows..💖  Feeling safe and secure with our loved ones is paramount now. Those who have strong Venus (Libra/Taurus) or Cancer chart placings may feel this celestial connection more than others. 
  • June 16th: Fathers Day… Happy Day to you all…😊
  • June 17th: Mercury visits with Cancer♋ until August 1: Mercury watches over communications, transportation and technology… We may be attracted to information regarding the deeper side of life, not so much the fluff and frills and gossip, but what actually affects us on a more personal level. Our concerns may shift from the worries of the world, bringing focus back to the self and our immediate loved ones. Take care during this time, as we can be more emotionally sensitive, making it more difficult for us to be objective.

  • 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.

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : rudall30
  • Date: May 15 @ 5:33 pm (ET) @2:33 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Phase: 1st, moves into 2nd on the 16th
  • Void-off-Course: May 18 @ 5:09 am(ET) @2:09 am (PT) to moon into Libra. Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now.
  • Opportunity Period:  

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. 
  • 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 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. 😊
  • The Moon in Virgo can be good for the following activities:
  • Break Habits (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Canning foods (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Fixing Cars:
  • Hair cut for less growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Mowing the lawn to retard growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Sending Mail:
  • Starting a diet (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter): 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Ascendant in Virgo
  • Mid-heaven in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
  • And those who have a strong Pisces placement in their charts..

NOTES:

May 15 @1:05 pm (ET) @10:05 am (PT):  Mercury moves into the sign of Taurus. ♉ 

  • Mercury is the planet of Communication, Transportation and Technology. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo. 
  • Taurus is ruled by Venus, and is connected to the 2nd house of material and emotional security. 
  • 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.
