AstroForecast June 2005

by Lance Rodriguez

The sign of the Twins, Gemini, launches the month of June for the annual solar journey in this mentally stimulating zodiac sign. The identification of the themes of communications, information, peer relationships, negotiability, bargaining, dialogue and versatility will be brought to the fore. Fraternal love is emphasized as Gemini psychologically symbolizes lateral relationships instead of the vertical parental relationships dynamic. Issues to be addressed will be superficiality, duplicity, lying, cheating, trickery, two-facedness, scatteredness, boredom and fraud. Psychological fragmentation due to mental splits or causes of mental splits can also be associated with the Twins. “People change, and forget to tell that to other people” Lillian Hellman. Gemini’s guiding angel is Ambriel and June’s angel is Muriel.

Wednesday June 1st is the harmonious contact of Mercury with Jupiter that can symbolize excellent commercial negotiations, contracts and sales that lead to expansive opportunities with positive growth potentials. This aspect is also symbolic of the fortuitous combination of the panoramic perspective of the large picture with the microscopic viewpoint of minute details. Encyclopedic knowledge can be tapped. Relationships do well with the ability to hold healthy regards for two sides of any story approach.

This same day is the declinational shift of the Moon that symbolizes changes with meteorological, seismic and volcanic activities. Emotional restraints, stifling dependency as well as guilt, shame and blame fluster commitments in relationships to a more open and spontaneous way of enjoying life.

Thursday the 2nd witnesses two inharmonious aspects that can signal difficulties with strife, violence and/or accidents. The first aspect involves Mercury with Uranus that can ignite accidents with all forms of transportation particularly associated with delivery systems and waterways. Abrupt, chaotic communications can bring about diplomatic breakdowns whether governmental or commercial. Certain individuals can experience high anxiety, jitteriness, extreme nervous volatility as well as weird intuitive sensations. Ghost apparitions can be quite haunting.

The second inharmonious aspect is between Mars and Pluto that can symbolize terrorism, bombings, violent purges and extreme ruthless reactions. This planetary combination can symbolize individuals that are extremely headstrong, willful and negatively driven for absolute control. The use and/or abuse of sheer force and merciless retaliation for change are fanatical. Human carnage can be a result. This aspect spans a week before this date and a week after.

Friday the 3rd at 10:18am is the entrance of Venus into the sign of domestic Cancer for an approximate 28-day journey. Venus symbolizes the art of beautifying, valuing, cherishing and treasuring what the heart most desires and here in the sign of Cancer the home, family, secure and stable foundations will be her domains for the following month. Thomas Jefferson expresses it best with “The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have past at home in the bosom of my family.”

This same day is the conjunction of Mercury with the Sun that symbolizes the fusion of the intellect with the creative consciousness. Those individuals born in the middle segment of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius do well with this alignment until we witness the next Solar – Mercury conjunction on August 5, 2005 later this summer. Healthy communications that add balance and equilibrium to relationships do well.

Saturday the 4th is a harmonious aspect involving Mars with Saturn that can represent supportive help for individuals that desire to acquire discipline in regards to manifesting long-held visions, ideals and dreams. It is roll up the sleeves time for individuals ready to make commitments for the realization of these goals. Mars and Saturn will be conjunct one another next June 2006 so it may take that long for these goals to be manifested. Concerted efforts can have rewards then.

Sunday the 5th at 2:20am is the station direct of Jupiter thus ending its retrograde motion that began in early February of this year. Concerns of this direct Jupiter can be associated with the following areas: the balancing of budgets, health care, workers’ rights, military preparedness, the police, landlords and tenants as well as streamlining activities. Legislative incongruities cause headaches for the executive branch of government so the use of executive veto may come into the spotlight. Financial ethics especially dealing with the media can be a focus. Jupiter was previously at this degree position (the Pre-Shadow Point) last November 6, 2004. Here is a quote from the November AstroForecast 2004 about this degree position: “A new judicious vision can emerge out of the collective. New peaceful initiatives can be communicated. Growth, expansion, progress and advancement especially for the artistic community can be witnessed with new, innovative and inventive uses of media can also be explored. Keywords associated with this degree position of Jupiter are: Eclectic inclusion means the fantastic and the practical come harmoniously together in spite of what was previously polarized and competitive. What emerges is the ONE ACCORD by which we all commit ourselves to a peaceful path. No matter how far a breakdown may lead us into total chaos and entropy, that point is the breakthrough that true rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration can take place. The path of NO PEACE leads us to separation from Divine Love and that is total disunity, disassociation and dishonor.”

Around the world the following areas are sensitized: Dawson Creek, Yellowknife, Churchill, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Labrador and Newfoundland Canada, Chihuahua, Mazatlan, Veracruz and Cancun Mexico, Honduras, Managua Nicaragua, Guyana, Manaus Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Greenland, Reykjavik Iceland, Galway Ireland, Northern Ireland, southwestern England, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Prague the Czech Republic, Zagreb Croatia, Toulouse France, Barcelona Spain, Portugal, Austria, Rabat Morocco, Algiers Algeria, Libya, Bamako Mali, central and western Africa, Maputo Mozambique, Harare Zimbabwe, Lusaka Zambia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Ashkhabad Turkmenistan, Tashkent Uzbekistan, Kabul Afghanistan, Karachi Pakistan, Calcutta and central India, Sri Lanka, Mandalay and Rangoon Myanmar, Hong Kong China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, as well as Edmonton, Richmond, Adelaide and far western Australia.

This same Sunday is a harmonious contact of Mercury with Neptune that can symbolize thoughts, ideas and concepts are centered on spirituality, compassion, unity, mercy, divine love as well as forgiveness. This is an excellent aspect for writers connecting to their inner inspiration and inner muse. Political unity can emerge that strengthens progressive and liberal applications.

Also on this same Sunday is an adjustment aspect involving Venus with Chiron that can symbolize individuals ready and willing to bury the hatchet with family issues from the past. Alternatives can surface in regards to domestic security and political quandaries.

Monday the 6th at 4:55pm is the annual Gemini New Moon launching the new beginnings/new initiatives phase of the Moon for the following 2 weeks. The following areas will be appropriate for this lunation: electronics, all instructional classes especially those that improve skills, talents and natural genius, computer courses, calligraphy, improved communications, Internet website launches, journals, diaries, magazine subscriptions, bookstores and libraries, as well as discussion groups. Angel Dirachiel is this lunation’s celestial helper to invoke if assistance is required. Political secrets especially involving the misuse of funds that politicians may have abused can loom large on the horizon. Powerful politicians can have their boat rocked by media leaks. Suppression of the press can have reverberating consequences. Political miscalculations in regards to military maneuvers elicit strong criticism that may lead to public investigations. This Gemini New Moon happens to be a “critical degree” lunation in astrology so a lot of focus and attention can be witnessed. Keywords associated with this Gemini lunation are: Superficial exteriors come crashing down due to the onslaught of realism and unabated pragmatism. Coy and crackpot behaviors are least tolerated especially in intimate partnerships.

The Astro*Carto*Graphy Map of this Gemini lunation sensitizes the following Unites States geographical areas: the Aleutian Islands, Fairbanks and Anchorage Alaska, Hawaii, the coastlines of the Pacific Northwest states of Washington, Oregon including a sliver of Northern California, the Panhandle of Florida, central Alabama, Bowling Green and Lexington Kentucky, Cincinnati and Toledo Ohio, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Flint and Saginaw Michigan, Nashville Tennessee, Billings Montana, Casper Wyoming, Aspen Colorado, Albuquerque New Mexico, Tucson Arizona as well as El Paso Texas.

Tuesday the 7th is the opposition of Mercury with Pluto. These two planets were last conjunct one another three previous dates due to Mercury’s retrogradation during the previous timelines: November 20, 2004, December 7, 2004 and January 4, 2005. Here is a brief quote from the November AstroForecast 2004 about this conjunction: “This Mercury conjunction of Pluto can symbolize earnest investigations and powerful research. Good intelligence news can come to the surface. Extreme fanatical viewpoints are overdue for healthy measures of tolerance to create new bridges of vigorous communications. These two planets will oppose one another next June 7, 2005 so whatever is being “seeded” now will be fully revealed, defined and clarified then.”

This same Tuesday is the harmonious contact of the Sun with Neptune that can symbolize creative expressions that have an impact with artistic inclinations as well as spiritual ones. A world leader holds an olive branch for reconciliation and resolution.

Also on this date Saturn is conjunct the Cancer New Moon degree of July 17, 2004. Saturn, due to retrogradation, was previously conjunct this lunar degree originally September 20, 2004 and December 28, 2004. Here is a quote from the July AstroForecast 2004 about this Cancer New Moon: “Keywords associated with this Cancer lunation are: in the best sense of community we all contribute our best of insights, intuitions, hunches and foresights for our mutual benefit. Since our best is what we have cultivated there is unbounded healthy deservedness that all can share in good measure. Our wisdom matures. Interestingly enough this Cancer New Moon degree position happens to also be a critical degree in astrology thus imparting significance and power to it.”

Friday the 10th is a day of a couple of inharmonious aspects. The first aspect involves Mercury with Mars that can symbolize breakdowns in communications due to heated arguments when logic fails and hyper-emotional ventilations overwhelm any semblance of rapport. Victimization can ensue and superficial posturing can become absurd. Some individuals can literally be chasing after rainbows to the dismay of reasonable folk.

The second aspect is between Venus and Jupiter that can represent individuals caught up with the past, past slights and past inadequacies that create great imbalances financially, philosophically and/or diplomatically. Some partners hesitate, vacillate and procrastinate on important decisions to be made with the little likelihood of action emerging. Financial excesses take their toll.

Saturday the 11th at 2:03am is the entrance of fleet-footed Mercury into the sign of Cancer. Mercury remains in Cancer for the following two weeks and strong emphasis will be placed on family dialogue, national discussions of security, agri-business concerns and real estate negotiations to mention a few. Moodiness and emotional neediness can cloud better discernment if allowed.

Saturday the 11th at 9:30pm is the entrance of fiery Mars into its own ruled sign of Aries for an approximate 45-day journey. Mars in Aries can symbolize military maneuvers and new initiatives with the arming of a nation gather focus. Potentials for military breaches are surveyed. Relationships tend to revert to more primal urges and needs especially in regards to self-protection. Assertiveness and aggressiveness become focused. Contentiousness, defensiveness and conflict impairment challenge many individuals. James A. Garfield describes Aries best with the following quote: “A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck!”

This same Saturday is the Apogee Moon that symbolizes the ability to cultivate objectivity and impartiality with emotions/feelings. This Apogee Moon is excellent for the enlargement of human joy, human creativity and human pastimes.

Sunday the 12th witnesses two aspects. The first one is a harmonious contact of Venus with Uranus that represents fresh, new and innovative insights to family dynamics coupled with forgiveness. A woman can emerge as a new symbol of hope, mercy and compassion for the collective. Some individuals experience financial windfalls.

An adjustment aspect between Mercury and Chiron can symbolize delicate negotiations undergo alternative responses and reactions that bridge gaps from the past. National polls reflect disenchantment with political policies and agreements.

Monday the 13th is the annual opposition of the Sun with Pluto. These two planets were last conjunct one another last December 13, 2004. Issues that can arise at this time will center on abuse, violence, terrorism, extortion, corruption as well as contamination. Personally some individuals can get caught up with the dysfunctional behaviors of control/manipulation, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, sabotage, secrecy as well as deep-seated rage and anger.

Tuesday the 14th at 5:38pm is the station retrograde of Uranus that will last until it turns direct on November 15, 2005. This retrograde motion of Uranus symbolizes what needs to be reviewed in regards to priorities, innovation, novel approaches, invention, experimentation, team work, team efforts, team results, community, networking, humanitarian goals, legislation and legislative bodies as well as technology, science, engineering and biomedical advances? Once Uranus is in direct motion after November 2005 this degree of retrogradation in June will repeat itself next March 2, 2006. These dates may correspond to one another. This station of Uranus is concerned with the media, primary education, all forms of communications, negotiations, contracts, sales as well as settlements. Information agencies may experience breaches of security lapses. Weird behaviors of partners cause isolation. Labor disputes may arise. New technological breakthroughs can happen that help medical patients suffering from hereditary diseases. Keywords associated with this station of Uranus are: Recognize the remarkable gift of legacy that you potentiate. Healing, forgiveness and renunciation are important faculties to cultivate. The Earth is now ready for humankind to evolve in new psychic and intuitive parameters that nurture the well being of the planet. The seed of the Earth’s Soul Child is now germinating. A new structure of future humanity will soon appear.

The A*C*G Map of this Uranus station sensitizes the following US geographical areas: Fairbanks Alaska, the entire Eastern coastline especially Miami Florida, Virginia Beach Virginia, Cape Hatteras North Carolina, Hartford Connecticut, Concord New Hampshire, Bismarck North Dakota, Rapid City and Wounded Knee South Dakota, Pueblo Colorado as well as El Paso Texas.

Wednesday the 15th a couple of celestial aspects occur. The first is the harmonious contact of Mars with Chiron that can symbolize excellent physical therapy and rehabilitation particularly with sports injuries. Massage therapy, reiki and chiropractic adjustments are beneficial.

The second aspect is an inharmonious one involving Mercury with Jupiter that represents breakdowns in communications due to prejudices, intolerance as well as bias. Judicial setbacks occur that ignite vehement and emotional hyperventilation. Reactionaries can take matters into their own hands with negative consequences.

This same Wednesday is the second declinational shift of the Moon in the month of June that symbolizes changes with meteorological, seismic and volcanic activities. This declination shift of the Moon is strongly associated with the previous aspect of Mercury with Jupiter that literally things may get really out of hand. Family disagreements cause great guilt, shame and blame with all fingers of participants pointing to one another.

Thursday the 16th is a harmonious contact of Mercury with Uranus that can symbolize recent technological advances are now applied beneficially in mainstream society. This is also an excellent aspect for using imaginative skills to cobble personal plans with group priorities.

Friday the 17th is an adjustment aspect between Venus and Neptune that represents how to forge coalitions that want to focus on the preservation of water resources. Partners face the paradox of emotional attachments versus emotional detachment.

Monday the 20th is an adjustment aspect between Mercury and Neptune that follows up on the previous paragraph with either how to improve overall communications as well as improve overall planning. The work will be in the minute details.

Tuesday the 21st at 1:46am the majestic Sun enters the sign of Cancer for its annual 30-day journey in this watery zodiac sign. This is the Summer Solstice or the pagan Litha celebration. Angel Tubiel is associated with the Summer Solstice. The creative and vital identification of all themes associated with the home, family, personal emotions and memories, imagination, dreams and sensitivity come to the fore with this solar transit. National security interests also are affected by this solar journey. Negative expressions of Cancer are hypersensitivity, over-protectiveness, sidestepping issues, burying the old ostrich head in the sand routine so as not to deal or confront a problem directly, over-emotionalism, moodiness and insecurity. Angel Muriel is the ruling angel of the sign of Cancer.

Tuesday the 21st at 11:14pm is the annual Capricorn Full Moon that symbolizes the completion/surrender/let go phase of the Moon. All issues involving career, status, success, authority, hierarchy or issues of insecurity, instability, fear, inadequacy, pessimism, control and limitations come to the fore with this lunation. Angel Geliel is associated with this Capricorn lunation if you want assistance. This Full Moon focuses on themes/issues of parenthood, dealing with ailing parents and/or family members, national security, the executive branch of government, agribusiness, hierarchy as well as discipline.

Intuition is keenly aroused along with nostalgia for the good of the past whether by tradition or sentimentalism. Hold a healthy emotional space for someone.

The second adjustment aspect is that of Mercury with Pluto that represents secrecy, riddles and obfuscation confound fundamental relations. Skirmishes over family heirlooms can emerge.

This same Thursday is the monthly Perigee Moon (closest approach of the Moon to Earth) that symbolizes strong intense emotions that can come easily to the conscious surface. This Perigee Moon is strongly associated with the previous paragraph about the Sun with Chiron adjustment aspect.

Saturday the 25th is the opposition of Mars with Jupiter. These two planets were last conjunct one another last September 26, 2004 and due to Mars’ later retrogradation in the fall there will be two more oppositions to Jupiter on December 4, 2005 as well as January 15, 2006. All of these dates can correspond to one another. Personal issues can be associated with over-confidence, over-extension, and overly assertive as well as overly aggressive behaviors. There can be looming problems with transportation issues becoming overheated with debates, lawsuits and diplomatic haranguing especially due to unhealthy competition. International courts of law are dragged into this dilemma as well as the World Trade Organization.

This same Saturday is the annual conjunction of Venus with Saturn that is the “seeding” time period of these two planets. Sober evaluation of finances, relationships and emotional values are strong. Corporations are seriously looking at their financial solvency involving issues of employee health care and employee pensions. New national trends maybe founded with corporations wanting to switch these employee responsibilities to the federal government. These two planets will oppose one another March 11, 2006 that will then be the period of clarification and definition of what was “seeded” on this June date.

This same Saturday is the Post-Shadow Point of Saturn that is the degree position Saturn originally held when it was station retrograde last November 8, 2004 and now in June Saturn has returned to this same degree. Here is a brief quote from the November AstroForecast 2004 about this degree position: “The greatest challenges of this Saturn position are associated with the legislatures and their legislative agenda as well as political posturing that can be wounding, conflict ridden, and oppressive. Personally as well as collectively ferocious bickering, competitive arguments and nasty comeuppance can easily upset any semblance to civil intercourse being exchanged. Commitments, alliances and allegiances can also be strongly tested. Competing special interests, coalitions and causes ignite firestorms. Keywords associated with this station of Saturn are: An old neglected reality is ready for a fresh overhaul. The awkwardness of old karma sheepishly slides away and renewed vital interests assume a more vibrant life. Archconservative behaviors and attitudes are suddenly brittle and easily chipped away.”

Sunday the 26th is the annual conjunction of Mercury with Saturn that is the “seeding” period of these two planets. These two planets will oppose one another next January 27, 2006 that will then be the period of clarification and definition of what was “seeded” on this June date. There is a strong orientation of individuals capturing the public’s attention in regards to pioneering, entrepreneurial or enterprising directions. Those individuals that missed out celebrating Father’s Day get a second chance to show appreciation for dad.

Monday the 27th at 11:01pm is the annual ingress of Mercury into majestic Leo for an extended stay than the usual 2-3 week time period, as Mercury will go retrograde in this sign in July. Creative communications will be a highlight with this passage of Mercury. Executives and authorities dictate new policies for the masses. Stubbornness and willfulness can be problematic with this Leonine transit of Mercury. Individuals who have strong hunches about risk-taking or speculation do well as long as there is confidence to replace what may be temporarily lost. Global entertainment and the world media romance one another.

This same Monday is the conjunction of Mercury with Venus. This aspect is excellent for harmonious communications, good financial planning and the valuing of healthy emotional nurturing. Another conjunction of Venus and Mercury will occur in July.

Tuesday the 28th at 12:53am is the entrance of Venus into the sign of Leo for an approximate 28-day journey. Creative individuals do very well with this passage of Venus, due to the stimulation of the more self-expressive side of Leo. Risk-takers and gamblers can roll on the hard side and go full tilt. This is a goddess that loves to be courted and suited, so jewelry and accessories are perfect gifts to be exchanged during this Venus journey in Leo. Whatever have been flaps in relationships prior to this Leo entry of Venus, now can be smoothed as long as all is fair in romance. Leo is the astrological ruler of the heart and the following quote by Sri Ramana Maharshi best describes Venus in Leo “The whole universe is condensed in the body, and the whole body in the heart. Thus, the heart is the nucleus of the whole universe”.

A rare third declinational shift of the Moon in the month of June that symbolizes changes with meteorological, seismic and volcanic activities occurs on this same Tuesday. Second opinions and thoughts are entertained in regards to surgical procedures.

Wednesday the 29th witnesses both Mercury and Venus opposite Chiron. Mercury was last conjunct Chiron earlier this year on January 28, 2005 and Venus was last conjunct Chiron on February 1, 2005. This June date is the clarification and definition period of these two planets with Chiron. Mercury’s orientation will be to define and clarify healthy authoritative information versus dictatorial distortion of information. Venus’ orientation will be of false pride and false vanity causing wounds with friends. Both Venus and Mercury are in Leo so the healthy orientation is to allow a generous heart to love uncompromisingly.

“A man who has not passed through the inferno
of his passionshas never overcome them.”
Carl Gustav Jung

“Science may have found a cure for most evils;
but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all –
the apathy of human beings.”
