A Monthly Overview Review
An Astrologically No-Nonsense Inspired Takeaway for June—
So, the mid-month of May offered some curveballs and turning points, yes?!—for better and/or worse…
And you’re unable to claim any surprise, as you were forewarned… isn’t it invigorating to see into the future and around the corners?!—to prepare, and utilize your time more appropriately—to be that much more equipped to do what you need/want to do?
Hopefully many of you utilized these energies to improve yourself, or your personal reality, in some way—your choices, lifestyle, or status… and if so, you’re right on time to enjoy some of the silent treasures June has on offer, if you’ve opened a space to receive these.
It will be essential, this month, that you hold yourself within these moments of pause—to hold yourself to the powerfully inspired moments of presence, in an effort to be open to receive insights you may not otherwise be equipped to tune into—to hold yourself within your centeredness…
There is much to learn.
There are sparks to be glimpsed.
There will be new perspectives to embrace.
The month of June should be much more quiet—dare I even venture to suggest fun, offering downtime to reflect, breathe, and prepare—though those of you with personal placements or angles within the twentieth degree of Capricorn through the fifth degree of Aquarius, unfortunately, may have quite the argument with this sentiment.
For those of you between 25* Capricorn and 5* Aquarius—this month will be another pivotal month for you and the personal transformations you are navigating… and this applies whether you are resisting these transformations or working with them. Perhaps, for you, then, you will be in a place to tune in that much more to these energies?—that you will be given more opportunities to find your center through the chaos of so many ideas, and too many options, and so few available excuses…
Further, in Part 1 of the June Issue of the Planetary Planner I mentioned that the entire month will be motivated by the notions and sentiments of Venus, as Venus will be the common denominator—and I’m not going to get too much into it here, as I will be offering detailed delineations of the phases Venus is moving through within its cycle as they occur for paid subscribers, and I’m really excited about this new series—though it only further emphasizes the potentials for taking action on much-needed efforts of self-improvement… and opportunities to review and revise perspectives of self-worth.
Venus will be moving through Leo through the entire month of June, and after several more hellenistic techniques I won’t bother you with, there will be more turning points—though these will likely be more directed toward the expanding of perspectives and awareness, as well as breaking more conditioned thought patterns that have become more or less useless, or are now simply becoming more and more irrelevant as you continue to grow and evolve.
Venus will also be ‘chasing’ Mars the entire month—and will continue into July, when Venus finally begins to slow by July 8th while Mars continues marching on, into Virgo, and by July 10th Venus and Mars will no longer be co-present within Leo… though, through June, Venus will be moving within her shadow by June 19th—which is to say that whatever emerges thereafter may very well have something to do with how the upcoming retrograde will manifest for you, though it’s safe to assume that, since the retrograde will occur within the degrees of Leo that it will have everything to do with personal issues of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-expressions—the ‘chasing’ effect, then, may be somewhat symbolic to the chasing of goals, dreams, and personal ideals—many of which may be feeling just out of reach for whatever reason…
Have you allowed space for these goals, dreams, and ideals?
Do you allow space for change?
The month of June will offer the necessary kind of pause for you to effectively apply toward the reflection of what you may need to do—and how you may need to grow, shift, and/or change—to achieve what it is you’re working toward, or to embody the persona of who you would like to become.
Leo energies are playful, fun, and lively—and when these are combined with the energies of Gemini, there are endless possibilities to learn, to explore, and to open to so many new ways of looking at, and thinking about, your personal reality…
Whatever changes needing made, this month, could actually be enjoyable—if you allow for this possibility, and the space it will require for possibilities to emerge, and become real.
The highest vibrations of Leo inspire even the most hidden reservoirs of personal courage… and so even if you’re hesitant to open yourself so easily, or if you’re not a fan of so many major changes occurring simultaneously, or if you’ve got those pesky personal placements or angles within the degrees of 25* Capricorn through 5* Aquarius—there will be moments within the pause to embrace, even just a little… to gain a feel for what life might look like, should you choose to look at it, approach it, and feel toward it differently.
And then—through July—you’ll be prepared, with new outlooks and fresh affections for yourself, to change your life.
Until then, take a breath, to hold yourself within this pause, and find your center, and open yourself to What May Be—even just a little…
If you are willing to take the time to envision your ideal becoming a reality as your horizons widen all around you in creatively exciting ways…
If you’re willing to explore what it feels like to be fully, boldly, shamelessly alive…
If you’re willing to allow yourself the space…
Much love to you, XO JJ
