June 2026
Happy Father's Day! Mercury Retrograde June 29th
New Moon: June 14 Gemini 14 degrees
Full Moon: June 29 Capricorn 8 degrees
Highlights
Karma… the month of June presents a karma energy for the world. When we speak of karma many times it sounds dark, negative, definitely not good. However, karma only balances what is out of balance. Yes, it can be challenging. It can also be very rewarding. The karma energy this month will have a global effect based on the decisions and actions of those in positions of power.
The one thing about karma that stands out is that it requires integrity in all matters. Without that, the karma may be what you least expect! Remember, honesty is the best policy.
We have a great new moon occurring mid-month that increases the desire for communication and the sharing of information. This can be something as simple as sending out invites to summer parties, taking a course for extra credit. You may decide to start a podcast.
Negotiations and the signing of contracts would be most beneficial if completed by the 22nd. This includes initiating any new projects! This is due to Mercury (ruler of communication, contract, etc) approaching retrograde on the 29th.
On June 30th, Jupiter will leave Gemini and enter Leo – staying until late July 2027! This happens every 12 years so the last time was from the Spring of 2014 until the Spring of 2015. What wonderful energy this will bring to those born under the sign Leo or who have a Leo ascendant(rising sign) for the next year. More about this in July.
Dates of Interest
Dec 1 – 7 The first week of the month is under the energy of the full moon on the 4th. In the day preceding this, a feeling of jitteriness or anticipation can be felt. It could be a new relationship is on the horizon or perhaps the ending of one. The desire to communicate or express your feelings is strong but keep in mind with the full moon energy, you might go off the rails and create chaos if you fail to THINK before acting.
Dec 8 – 15 The energy is bumpy at times and quite confusing. Expect things to pop out of the blue. Stay true to yourself. Do not be misled by jumbled information. You may feel quite lazy, especially on the 15th. It’s a good thing!
Dec 16 – 23 It is time to face reality now. Everyone will feel the pressure to assume responsibilities and “get on with it”. The few days around the 21st solstice could be challenging. Prepare for that by organizing and checking things off your holiday list or goals for the month. Your happiness depends on you, no one else.
Dec 24 – 31 Merry Christmas to all. The desire to be close to someone is strong. The hope of dreams being fulfilled is in the air. We are now on the verge of a transformation, a renewal of life. May you all be blessed with good health, happiness, peace, love and HOPE as we enter 2026.
Happy New Year’s Eve!
Sun Signs & Ascendants
Aries: Rushing around serves no good purpose right now. Make plans but wait to implement them. Mild exercise is better this month. Avoid crowds when you can.
Taurus:
April Taurus sun signs may feel out of sorts while those born mid May have luck on your side. Hints of a major change coming are now evident!
Gemini:
It is time to clear out, clean out, and let go! Mid month is prickly. You are at the threshold of a new life adventure and you feel it. Be patient, you have time!
Cancer:
You will find your emotional center by month’s end. Until then, find ways to be out in the sun, take a walk in nature, enjoy being with family and friends.
Leo:
This month your focus is on your back/spine. Find ways to exercise that will strengthen your back muscles. Start at the top with a new hairstyle!
Virgo:
Those born at the end of August may feel tired or drained. Find ways to uplift your spirit through helping others, donating and being physically active!
Libra:
Listen to the advice of older individuals. Be cautious with spending on luxuries. Wear happy colors and listen to uplifting music when possible.
Scorpio:
Unexpected changes may take you off guard. Although surprising, roll with whatever unfolds. It is time for a new approach, evident by mid-month.
Sagittarius:
You may feel cranky for most of the month. Toward the end of the month, you will understand the “prickles” and take charge moving forward.
Capricorn:
Time is on your side so count your blessings. Legal matters may pop up. A streak of luck is likely around mid-month. Schedule dental appointments now.
Aquarius:
The winds of change are blowing in your direction in a fantastically positive way. No matter the challenge, you will overcome it. A new door is opening wide.
Pisces:
Commitments made now will last if both parties have honest intentions. An art project may pop up suddenly that distracts you. Follow your intuition.
Energy Shifts
There is the tendency to rebel or make unusual choices. Be very cautious when speaking as there is power given to speech during the time Mercury is in Aquarius. Be ready for a new perspective, new way of thinking. As always, there are hidden agendas, secrets, things worked on behind the scenes. One, many or all could be exposed now. There is so much energy that we are definitely going to be kept on our toes. Love and relationships are intense. A new relationship now could light up a new direction for many. Some will feel everything is moving just too fast or the changes are too extreme and others will embrace the changes and move forward.
There are NO retrograde planets this month. This means all the planets are moving with full strength and without delays. Also worth noting is that by mid month we will have Mercury, Mars and Venus in the visionary and humanitarian sign of Aquarius joining Pluto. There is a huge emphasis on “the people” and things ruled by Aquarius. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and therefore, not a fan of restrictions but rather of freedom. This Aquarius influence will also affect the other air signs Gemini and Libra with a harmonious flow of energy.
It is time to move out of the karma energy that was operating in 2023. We will still see remnants of it through March but it is not the “theme” now. Making critical decisions and also the economy are. However, in August, that theme of 2023 will return for one month and then be done!
The economy and how it affects the people is the focus highlighting the world. Events, i.e. wars, chaos, and natural disasters should be watched now more than ever. Economic growth is spotlighted. Watch for changes in power structures and in many cases, that will involve downsizing, personal and business. This is more of a correction to the pandemic’s effect on the economy. Although painful at first, these adjustments will bring stability and a new path forward.
With Pluto beginning a new 20 year cycle in AQUARIUS, epiphanies, genius ideas, advanced technology, inventions, and futuristic projects find the limelight. AI is already on stage and spotlighted. The sign of AQUARIUS is about humanitarian causes, freedom and independence, inventions, futuristic thinking and the people, for example.
Spiritual/religious beliefs and studies play a part in this Pluto transit. This includes the leadership of religious and spiritual groups and organizations.
We are entering an exciting time. It will not happen overnight. But, it is a beginning. Our way of living and thinking about communication, travel, and currency is changing.
For now in 2024, be ready for the challenges, surprising events, and jarring news that will occur as we open the door to a new way of looking at the world and the people.
Daily Influences
Jun 01 – The moon is still in Sagittarius until 9:19pm when it enters Capricorn this evening. MERCURY enters CANCER until July 13. There may be conflicts today especially in communications. Perhaps the less said the better as emotional energies will be high. Our thoughts turn to home and family. Dinner at home?
Jun 02 – The moon in Capricorn is a reality check emotionally. It is a great day for taking care of business, making long term commitments. Due to the mixed energies today, midday to late afternoon may be the best time for financial decisions that result in better outcomes.
Jun 03 – The moon continues in Capricorn and confronts emotional crossfire mid-morning. This may involve money or conversations about finances. Put emotions aside and look at the facts. You will succeed if you do and avoid disagreements. The moon slides into VOID at 11:04pm.
Jun 04 – The moon leaves VOID and enters Aquarius at 9:46am. Expect delays or a slow start to the morning. The energy picks up and the afternoon feels “friendly”. Discussions about inventions or better ways of doing things will highlight the day. The airlines, space ships, satellites may all be newsworthy.
Jun 05 – The moon’s visit in Aquarius stalls at 3:51pm and enters VOID until tomorrow night. Do what you can before the afternoon change. If you have travel plans for the evening, double check everything. There could be a delay. A new invention is on the verge of being announced. Lunch with friends today should be fun.
Jun 06 – HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 👍The moon is VOID all day!! This means you can enjoy it without a bunch of challenging energies.. That is unless you were born at the end of the Taurus, Leo or Scorpio signs! You may feel pushed to get something done! Always expect the unexpected during VOID moon energy. At 8:43pm, the moon enters PISCES for a sweet and quieter evening.
Jun 07 – The moon is in Pisces and brings a peace offering. For those in the creative arts, allow your imagination to soar today. This is a wonderful day to volunteer to help those less fortunate. Donate. Adopt a pet. Give. This is the way today. Your creative talent is infused with new energy and out of the box ideas.
Jun 08 – The moon continues in Pisces until 8:38pm when it enters VOID for overnight. It is time to take in a bit of nature! School is out in most places so plan a day with children! Go swimming, hiking, bicycling, rock climbing… the library for quiet time. Enjoy the day by allowing time for daydreaming!!

Sky Interests
Retrograde Planets
There are no retrograde planets in April! This means all the planetary energies are feeling strong and ready to push forward. Taking the initiative is key. Depending on your personal circumstances, this would be a good month to meet with or involve the public. Be careful because there is impulsive and aggressive energy at times due to every planet being strong.
Transiting Planets
When a transiting planet contacts an individual’s personal planet, (Sun, Venus, Mercury, or Mars) a reaction, feeling or perhaps an event involving the planetary energies will be initiated. Example: transiting Jupiter connects with your Venus. You could simply have a couple of “feeling good” days while this is active or maybe even win a lottery, fall in love, or receive a bonus, settle a legal case, or set up a new bank account. It is helpful to know if this will be happening so you can plan and be prepared to make it a good “connection”. The following slower moving planets will be influential this year due to several actually changing signs.
JUPITER in CANCER until July 01 when it enters LEO
Jupiter moves the fastest of the slower moving planets, staying only a year in each sign. The last time Jupiter was in Cancer was in 2013/2014 and the last time in Leo was 2014/2015. If Jupiter touches one of your planets, it will uplift and add generous and philosophical energy to that planet’s activity. It enhances whatever or whomever it touches. When it is in your sign or your ascendant sign, it offers a certain amount of protection. It cannot keep all challenges away from you. But, in those cases, the outcome is better than if you did not have the protection of Jupiter.
Jupiter rules many things such as foreign policies, countries, religion, higher education, spirituality, military and military activity to name a few. It also rules legal matters or authority. So, it is possible that if Jupiter is close to one of your planets, you might be involved in a lawsuit or legal proceeding sometime during this year or connect with optimistic, like-minded people.
Overindulgence is one negative influence of Jupiter, so be sure to keep everything in moderation. Jupiter promotes growth, so it is possible to gain weight if it is transiting your Ascendant or your Sun (Cancer and Leo in 2026).
During the summer 2026 when Jupiter moves into LEO, a shift occurs with. less focus on home and family, increasing attention on fun and games, streaming, children, pets and even romance! Of course, LEO also rules leaders and entertainers and they will be in the spotlight from the summer of 2026 to summer 2027.
SATURN in ARIES until April 2028
Saturn returned to Aries in February 2026.
Starting off 2026 the rumbling of energy that could bring about restrictions or limits involving things ruled by both Pisces and Aries will continue. This highlights waterways and boundaries, oceans and liquids of all kinds, activities behind the scenes, religions/churches, imagination and then fires, aggressions, military, and military activities. It may hinder or slow new projects. There may be restricted activities due to fires/volcanoes, etc. Virgo Sun signs/ascendants (born after Sep 15) as well Libra sun/ascendants (born the end of Sep) may find a strong opposing energy making each task a challenge. On a positive note, health/medicine/healing may be a big topic with new and better ways to detect disease/illness. There may be new laws introduced that will change or structure the healthcare system as well as benefits from programs, i.e., social security. A review of new projects or laws can be studied with better plans for implementation.
Commitments made during a transit of Saturn to a personal planet (sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars) will have endurance or longevity. Remember, Saturn offers the opportunity to bring discipline and structure to your life. This is positive if you take advantage of it without resisting the responsibilities or limitations that may pop up.
Be watchful of accidents or health issues involving the lower legs, especially the ankles, and feet and also everything about the head (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, brain, etc). Saturn encourages you to organize and discipline your activities and accept responsibilities. Pisces, If you have been working hard and taking care of tasks and keeping up, you will find that Saturn will reward you with a “good job” bonus gift when it exits your sign in Feb 2026. Aries will receive the same when it exits your sign in 2028. Given the ability to focus and accomplish now, use Saturn’s positive side to finish up projects or goals that have been set aside. Perhaps join a cause to help the world. Take on any added responsibilities as a learning experience that will benefit you even if you cannot see it at the time. PISCES has a strong connection with charities, children, pets, creative projects, oceans/liquids, psychic ability, and the film industry. ARIES has a strong tie to military forces, fires, firemen, impulsive decisions, explosives, drought or dry places and pioneering new projects or ideas.
URANUS in GEMINI April 25 until July 2032
Uranus stays approximately 7 years in a sign. Last time in Gemini was 84 years ago – 1941 -1949.
In the past, in 2018, it entered TAURUS. This energy highlighted money and earth changes. We can say we have experienced matters related to both. Uranus will now enter Gemini in late April 2026 staying until July of 2032.
In Gemini, there is an increased focus on, for example: communications, transportation (railroads, highways, shipping), broadcasting, education, writers, books/book stores, post offices and even treaties. When Uranus arrives in Gemini the focus will shift to AIR and SPACE technology, everything AI related, communications, inventions, and even wars. The U.S. Civil War and also World War II occurred during the last transit of Uranus in Gemini.
NEPTUNE in ARIES until May 2038
Neptune stays in each sign from 12 to 15 years and highlights the imagination, spirituality, films, religions and dreams. People find ways to escape reality with a few using deception to get ahead in life. Most of that is caused by the “fogginess” that surrounds Neptune in Pisces. Once it enters Aries the energy will shift and Neptune will express itself boldly and with confidence. It encourages a pioneering, aggressive and impulsive attitude at times. Neptune was last in ARIES 1861-1875. This was the time of the civil war in the U.S. Considering that, it encourages a serious awakening. It is a reality check. It is time to make those dreams real. Wars could, unfortunately, be part of this cycle when Neptune is in Aries. On a global level, managing the climate will be important as droughts and fires will increase. Weather could create urgency with heat concerns in parts of the world. In some cases, there could be increased volcanic eruptions, as well as unexpected explosions or wars. It will remain in Aries until May 21, 2038.
PLUTO moves into AQUARIUS until 2044
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778 – 1798. During that time, there was a war for independence between the North American colonies and Great Britain, the US Bill of Rights was ratified. Uranus was discovered/The French Revolution began and included the Reign of Terror.
PLUTO rules death and rebirth, transformation ……AQUARIUS rules things like electricity, air travel, electronics, broadcasting, freedom, inventions and the people. It is known to be the visionary sign because it sees into the future. Perhaps we will see a change in how people do business or work – shorter workweeks, remote work, less travel, or new inventions. New advances or information regarding AI, software, air travel, drones, robots, aliens. Groups of like-minded people will push for change. Hopefully, we have learned from the past and will create a peaceful path forward.
May the force still be with you!
