June 29 Full Moon in Saturn-ruled Capricorn
The Full Moon carries the negative, downbeat mood energy of Saturn AND the tension of a square to Saturn in Aries, prompting us all to get realistic, honest, and accountable with ourselves and others as we work through difficulties and challenges over the next 2 weeks as the Moon wanes.
Mercury retrograde in Cancer through July 23 will bring the usual communication glitches that center on the Cancerian realm of emotions, family, food, and child care. Mercury retrograde begins with Mercury in the neighborhood of optimistic and upbeat Jupiter, but ends in the same tense square to rigid, realistic, and often negative Saturn in Aries that we’re seeing now, this week at the Full Moon. This says to me, your ideas will be tested over the next 3 weeks.
Meanwhile, the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, all line up in harmony with one another this week. A window of opportunity that blesses changes in your life and offers an opportunity to upgrade your perspective. Neptune appears at the Uranus-Pluto midpoint. If we look that up, we see opportunities appearing. We see spaces opening up as if by magic, as if the cosmic slot machine is lining up a triple match for us all in our own way– especially the fire and air signs.
Mars moving through the first degrees of Aries energizes these opportunities and creates a rare window of opportunity to speak your truth and take action.
Jupiter moves into Leo this week, which fires up the summer skies and may feel overwhelming this week as Jupiter hits the soft, wounded energy of Chiron in Taurus and highlights our issues around self-worth. Lean into the overwhelm a bit, as this is a good week to stretch your comfort zone and allow something new and exciting and different to come into your life.

🧣🧣🧣 Jupiter square Chiron
Life could feel like too much. Too much emotion, too much pain. But this can be an opportunity to grow in knowledge and wisdom if you’re willing to work on yourself.
Jupiter under stress interferes with our sense of proportion, so that matters may be of more importance or less than you’re thinking. You might underestimate the time and work a job will take, or overcommit yourself by saying yes when you mean no.
You might experience difficulties integrating and updating older systems with new ones.

🚩🚩 Mars square the Nodes
Watch your words, and steer clear of the gossip mill, as these tempting little stories can override the intuition that you need in order to get the most out of these days. Stay connected to the emotional flow (not so much the words spoken) to get the information you need. An argument about who is virtuous or correct will only lead to chaos.

🚩🚩 Mars conjunct Uranus
Safety first as Mars, planet of action, aligns with the unpredictable, chaotic, disruptive energy of Uranus. All in Gemini, sign of information and communication. Truth bombs will fly. Connectivity could be disrupted. Chronic conditions could flare.

❇️❇️ Mars sextile Neptune
As Mars begins his journey through chatty Gemini, here is an opportunity for you to pull words from your softer side and channel something important. Engage with art, music, poetry, fantasy, movies, spirituality, dance. Plans, activities, and people can come together as if by magic.

❇️❇️ Mars trine Pluto
High powered problem-solving energy allows you to tackle the hardest jobs and open up new lines of communication. Agreements come together easily and have staying power in the future. This positive connection forms an ideal backdrop for meetings, contracts, an interview or first day at work, product launch, equipment purchase, or learning weekend.
