Welcome to June, the month with the longest day of the year.

With the changes we have already witnessed and the changes taken place this month, we may see it as the longest month of the year!

In the past couple of months, April and May, we have seen Mercury (communications) go direct,

Saturn ( reaping and sowing) go retrograde, Pluto (re-doing, power plays) go retrograde and the most powerful change, Uranus (earthquakes, sudden changes) move into a new sign, Taurus (money, music and self -worth) for the first time since 1935!  I am tired already!

Perhaps I should explain the meaning of the “retrograde” movement is before we look at June.

It astrological terms, it is a time when we reconsider some of our past decisions or actions we have performed.  It can also include those issues we didn’t act on at all.   All this takes place internally if our individual energy or astrological configuration is being touched by all a retrograde movement.  Otherwise, we can observe what changes are happening in politics, stock market, and Mother Earth herself.

Uranus, of course, represents new, exciting, different and sudden changes dealing with money, music, the arts, self-worth and most of all, gratitude.  Uranus says “out with the old and in with the new”!  Uranus transits are a time for flexibility and allow us to see what is going to stay and what maybe temporary!

So back to June and what can we expect this month?  

Neptune, the planet of deception and illusion makes its retrograde turn on June 18th.   This “God of the Seas” planet can make things look worse than what they are as well as bringing things to light that has been hidden.  The days leading up to this change can be most intense.  Many times, people can be completely deluded at this time.

Watch out for truths being revealed about the stock market and politics.  We can see where we, as a people, have been deceived.  Grrrrrrrr!

On the 26th of June, Mars, the planet of war goes retrograde for the first time in 2 1/2 years!  This is where will see action and change!  The area that Mars activates in a person’s  astrological chart, will be a place of great activity for 6 months.  For the general public, Mars can generate anger, proving the ego is right but Mars can be immense courage!  Again the days leading up to this can have people as a whole, aggressive and irritated!

Blessings to us, until next time!
