Confusing June begins with Mercury still retrograde. This tricky planet goes direct June 19. Sit still and finish situations that are already in process. Since Mercury is retrograde in his home sign, Gemini, this retrograde period adds an extra punch to the affects. We all are sure to be subject to this playful planet’s antics. Stay focused and laugh in the face of those goofy things that occur. This is not the time to buy that new car or refine your computer’s applications. Those who get the car have a good chance of getting a lemon and computer updates are extra difficult. Decisions are best delayed because all the facts are not available. Once Mercury goes direct June 19 those little hassles begin to unravel and are completely sorted out by July 4.
Pluto, retrograde until September 8, backs into Sagittarius until reentering Capricorn November 26. In the days until September 8 we are all considering the changes to our philosophies that we have made in the past two years. Many of us will be making adjustments because we committed to a course of life that really does not work. Some of us bit off more that we can chew and need to spit out what is not palatable. Those born in the latter days of the mutable signs Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini and Virgo are most affected by this need to regroup. Philosophies and courses of action must be altered as we discover our belief systems are still evolving. Relinquish control and let your personal evolution happen.
Mars, in Leo, is hanging around the south node of the Moon for most of the month and directly opposite retrograde Neptune in Aquarius. Impatience can cause many of us to do or say things we may regret later. That includes stretching the truth to get just what you want. Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, and Taurus are most susceptible to outbursts and sudden acts that are not in their best interest. As we come to the close of the month facts come to light that give us better clarity. Those who acted unwisely will lose face. Those who are dishonest will be exposed.
Closing out this paradoxical month is Uranus in Pisces turning retrograde June 26 through November 27. This happens every year about this time. Uranus can be chaotic so be prepared for unexpected events around the time he is turning retrograde. Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Gemini are most challenged by this event. While Uranus is retrograde we will be making some changes in our approach to our life goals and how we feel about our fellow beings.
