June astrology: Jupiter enters Cancer!

 

Jupiter, the planet of luck, gain and expansion leaves Gemini for Cancer June 9th where it will remain for the next year or until June 30th 2026.

The Sun transits from Gemini into Cancer and the summer solstice occurs on June 20th. Mercury transits through 3 signs; Gemini, Cancer and Leo. Venus moves from Aries into Taurus and Mars moves into Virgo. Saturn completes its first full month in Aries and squares Jupiter and conjuncts Neptune.  

I would love to say things in the world will calm down this month but this won’t be the case for June.

Now the details:

Jupiter enters Cancer

Jupiter enters Cancer June 9th where it remains until June 30, 2026.

Jupiter is considered the greater benefic by astrologers and the planet of gain and expansion. Wherever Jupiter goes in your personal chart is where you will see gain each year through Jupiter on a personal level.

Cancer is about home, family, and getting in touch with our emotions. Cancer also rules the home and the homeland and many will regard themselves as more patriotic.  Of course what is patriotic for you, may not be patriotic to me or to Joe down the street and herein will lie the clash in the collective with the emotionality of the sign of Cancer which rules not only the home but the ‘homeland.’

When Jupiter is in this sign many people buy real estate, move or re-decorate the home. Family get togethers will be more frequent and there will be more entertaining at home. Of course this is a great placement for Water and Earth signs, especially Cancer who should have a great year unless something else very significant interferes with the transit.

Jupiter takes 12 years to go through the entire zodiac and transited through Cancer the following dates/ years;

-June 27, 2013-July 16, 2014

-July 14, 2001-August 1st, 2002

-July 31, 1989-August 18, 1990

Jupiter squares Saturn

As soon as Jupiter enters Cancer it begins a square with Saturn which moved into Aries May 24th. In the strictest sense of the word this aspect will continue through the end of July (Jupiter square Saturn) but is at its most powerful during June.

This will affect us globally and is generally thought of as bad for the financial markets. In 2024 Jupiter squares Saturn twice; In August and the result was a large drop in the stock market, and then again in December with the same results.

Saturn square Jupiter has been known to be associated with problems in Europe.

On a personal and global level this aspect can seem restrictive financially or otherwise, especially if it hits something in your personal chart. If this aspect is going to affect your chart you would have Cardinal planets (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) at 0-3 degrees. This transit is exact June 15th.

The week of June 15th looks like a difficult period. In addition to Jupiter’s exact square to Saturn we will experience the following transits all pointing to a week of serious or important global events:

Venus squares Pluto June 9th-This affects us globally in terms of finance/money, scandals and power. In our personal lives it can coincide with obsessive thinking and behavior, domestic upheaval, revelations that can seem shocking, money issues and relationships.

Mercury squares Saturn June 9th-This can seem tiring, negative and we can experience blocks and negative feelings and news.

Mercury squares Neptune June 9th-This is indicative of lies, deception and unclarity. At times it deals with water related events.

Mars squares Uranus June 15th-No doubt this will coincide with volatile world events or even violence. It is prone toward unexpected events, unexpected change and in some cases separations and is indicative of upheaval.

Jupiter squares Neptune in Cancer/Aries

On June 18th, Jupiter squares Neptune but we will feel the energy before and after this transit is exact. It will be in a tight orb which means the energy is powerful from June 9th-at least mid July.

Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion, as well as creativity, psychic abilities, drugs and alcohol to name just a few. The symbol representing Neptune is two fish swimming in opposite directions. Neptune is frequently associated with lies, deception, lack of clarity and self deception. That said it rules the artistic world, psychics, religion and spirituality, compassion and sacrifice.

As Jupiter clashes with Neptune issues and situations can become muddled. Things may not be what they appear and we can be deceived into believing things are one way when in fact they are another. As Jupiter expands whatever it touches deceptions can get larger along with personal self deception.

Gas lighting, smoke and mirrors, unclear scenarios and self delusion will be common during this transit. Confusion and lack of clarity or being mislead in terms of the facts will be the hallmark of this time. This can be a transit of lies and theft. My advice would be to pay attention to the fact that anyone can get scammed these days.

On the other hand, this can be beautiful, spiritual and creative energy. Compassion can be given or received, creativity may be at a high, as can psychic abilities, and dreams can be vivid. The last time Jupiter squared Neptune Pope Francis visited the US and Congress. I have found that Neptune and planets in Pisces typically deal with news of the Vatican.

Love can seem ideal at this time. A relationship that seems this way should be given the test of time because only when these planets move apart or separate and we are no longer under the 'Neptunian spell,' can we gauge accurately whether or not we feel the same way as we do under this transit. As the two planets separate things and situations can be revealed to be different from what we may have thought.

Saturn conjuncts Neptune

As soon as Saturn enters Aries, it conjuncts Neptune. While the conjunction will not be exact, it is nevertheless still conjunct for the entire period Saturn is in Aries this year and will continue in to next year.

This is not the easiest of transits and it is global in nature. While this will affect all of is, it is associated with major events on a global level and has been connected with Russia. The Russian Revolution and other significant junctures have occurred on this transit in the past but it is not limited to Russia. It has also been connected with significant changes in the British Royal family.

Saturn represents our structures and Neptune has a dissolving affect. Many things will change during this time and many things that we are familiar with will fade away.

This aspect can be confusing or even depressing. What you thought was real may not be and what you thought was not real may be real. Dissolving realities might be a good phrase to describe this transit. Propaganda will be a problem.

Of course Saturn and Neptune are in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac and represent newness. While one reality may dissolve it will morph into something new and this would be the most important things to focus on.

This transit has a lot of global implications and collectively we are in a time of great change; perhaps more change than we have ever seen in our lifetimes. We can expect social uprisings and geo-political changes over the next few years. There have been times this aspect has denoted viruses and pandemics.  

A planet in Aries at 0 degrees is considered the ‘world point’. It is considered a critical degree and events can occur that on some level affect us all.

While Neptune and Saturn have a dissolving affect, all of the outer planets along with Saturn and Jupiter will be making positive transits with each other in the coming months and years. For example;

-Pluto sextiles Saturn and Neptune and trines Uranus

-Neptune and Saturn sextile Uranus

-Uranus sextiles Saturn and Neptune and trines Pluto

-Saturn and Neptune sextile Uranus and Pluto

-In 2026 Jupiter in Leo will join several of the outer planets as well.

All of this points to a societal dissolution and breakdowns that are replaced by new concepts, ideas and ways of doing things with an emphasis on the new. Technology and medicine will boom among other industries or inventions we may not be able to discern at this time.

Some of this begins this summer but 2026 will be pivotal. This has been referred to as a ‘reset for humanity.’ We have not seen transits like this in our lifetimes and I cannot find a time in history this has occurred.

Venus enters Taurus June 6-July 3rd

Venus in Taurus will be a significant change from self oriented Venus in Aries. Over the next few weeks there will be a greater focus on love, money, luxury items or beauty, beautiful things, relationships and personal as well as collective values. Venus is happy and lavish in this sign and you may feel a desire to surround yourself with richness on many different levels whether it is art, clothes, jewelry, calming music or rich food. Go ahead and enjoy the most basic of comforts: touch, smell, sensuality, beauty, comfort, relaxation and food. Venus in Taurus takes us back to the basics of life and we can indulge and luxuriate in the simpler things that make us the happiest on an inner level.

Now is the time to focus on relationships, and putting your emotions and feelings first, ahead of work or other heavy demands. This can be a relaxed time where we are focused most of all on the physical, the beautiful, and we can connected to the earth and outdoors and the beauty of spring as Taurus is an Earth sign. Plan a walk or hike, and get grounded by Mother Earth. Typically this is a great time for planting and getting your garden under control if you are inclined in this way. Taurus is typically considered fruitful and the best sign for planting whether it is a large country or urban garden or houseplants on a balcony or in a window.

By seeking pleasure in all of its most basic forms and with others this period typically embodies harmony and can be a beautiful, chilled out and relaxed period that won’t return again for another year.

Mercury enters Cancer June 8-26th

Mercury is the planet that rules all of our speech and communication whether it is writing, talking with others, making a sales pitch or talking with loved ones. Mercurial energy will change from fact oriented Gemini to the most emotional and sensitive of signs, and our communication will become much more emotionally driven.  Those who are born with Mercury in Cancer are typically able to sway others through their ability to emotionally inspire, convince or speak to another’s emotions.

When Mercury is in Cancer we intuit our feelings and conversation much more than during other times. The keyword for Mercury in Cancer is “I feel” as opposed to “I think.” Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the luminary that governs our inner emotions so while Mercury is in Cancer, it is in the Moon’s natural sign. During this time we will be more concerned with our emotional life and the emotions as well being of family members and those closest to us.

The emotionality of Mercury in Cancer will be something we will need to watch as this can lead to extreme emotional displays, reactions, and feelings that can get deeply hurt. The key with Mercury in this sign is to learn to think things through rather than react spontaneously and emotionally to what is said.

We may be concerned over issues regarding home and family members as well as our own emotional lives as we will delve deeply into what is working and what is not working in our inner lives and relationships with those closest to us.

Thoughts of the past and trips down memory lane may be common as Cancer is typically drawn to the past. Sometimes, Cancer never lets go of the past, but relives it many times, depending on what occurred. Mercury in Cancer is learning to let go of the past, especially if it was difficult and painful.

Otherwise, this is a beautiful time to get your head aligned with your heart and in touch with your true feelings.

Mars enters Virgo June 17-August 7th

Virgo is the sign that rules the 6th house of work and health so it is here much of our attention will be focused over the next six weeks. Now will be the time to start new health regimes, work out or exercise plans or to get any health issue of concern checked by a Dr. as Virgo is a sign that is strongly connected to healing, medicine and natural medicine. As the 6th house also rules work, we will be much more focused on this area of our life than we were with Mars in energetic, freewheeling and fiery Leo, so expect a major energy shift as Mars changes signs.

For the past 7 weeks Mars in Leo has stirred up drama and a lot of grandstanding, passion and desire for fun. Things will change in a significant way as Mars enters the more subdued and stable earth sign Virgo. Virgo is one of the mutable signs along with Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces. When a planet enters a mutable sign we are subject to change and our actions and approach toward what we are doing will alter with Mars in this sign.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication so while in Virgo our action will be connected to our minds, thinking and speaking.  In other words, we will use our brains to a greater degree and be much more determined to get things done, and done correctly.

Mars is a hot, fiery and aggressive, passionate planet by nature. While it is in Virgo these qualities will be tempered and Mars becomes a fact seeking, detail oriented and sometimes perfectionist, albeit hard working and concentrated type of energy to work with.

Now is the time to get all the things you have put off this year done. Not only will you get them done, they will in all likelihood be done correctly, perhaps even the first time.

Virgo is the most detail oriented sign of the zodiac and when planets go into Virgo they mean business. With Mars in this sign you will be determined to be productive, take care of you affairs, and not make mistakes. Now is the time to get your act together and move forward in a logical and tangible way that can bring about true accomplishment and success.

Virgo is known for being efficient, thoughtful, adaptable, competent and attentive. If you can harness the energy of Mars you can accomplish more than you thought possible.

The downside of Virgo is its tendency toward perfectionism. Virgo doesn’t mean to be overly critical although it can come across that way. Actually, Virgo just likes to get things right the first time so you don’t have to repeat anything again. Virgo’s critical tendency can extend toward other people or even yourself. This can cause breakdowns in relationships as no one likes being unduly criticized. Constructive criticism is one thing, an overtly critical attitude toward others in another. At times Virgo can come across as restless, strict and agitated. If you can be aware of these qualities this can be a period of time of accomplishment whether it involves losing weight, getting fit and in shape, or getting your business in order.

Full moon in Sagittarius June 11th

This month’s full moon falls in the sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This moon will oppose the Sun which every full moon does and this can ramp up our emotions for better or worse.

Mercury sextiles Venus today and this is positive for communication, social activities or any type of business meeting.

All in all this should be a fairly positive full moon for most!

June 20th the Sun enters Cancer or summer solstice is here

The Sun will remain in Cancer until July 22ndand this is the Summer Solstice, which is the longest day of the year.

Whatever your age, this marks the start of the short 3 month season of warm beaches, outdoor events and gatherings, sunshine and romantic summer nights.

Cancer’s planet is the Moon which rules women, our emotions, feelings and family or those who are like family.  The Cancer season is all about summer, family get-togethers, family vacations and getting in touch with what we really need on an inner level to feel happy and secure. 

Look for a huge energetic shift as the Sun in Cancer is much more about our feelings and what really lies in our hearts as opposed to our intellect and ideas when it was in Gemini. Cancer is the most sensitive sign in the zodiac, and like the Moon, feelings are always shifting and changing. The Moon changes signs every 2 and a half days and those born under Cancer are dramatically affected by the changes. The moon represents our instincts and feelings that are not bound up in logic or reason.

Cancer is part of the water element and not only are water signs more sensitive and emotional than others they are typically in touch for their deepest feelings and inner psyche. Cancer can come across as moodier than others but they are also intuitive and perceptive.  Cancer is a caring and giving sign typically, and you may find yourself feeling more protective and comforting toward loved ones during this time, or spending time with a friend over a cup of coffee talking about their concerns. 

Cancer can come across as having a hard edge at times, but you have to remember that the crab is protected by a hard shell to fend off predators. Sometimes Cancer can put up a wall to protect themselves. To get to the innermost feelings of a Cancer, trust has to be built and they seldom read like an open book unless you have earned their trust.

While Cancer is a loving and warm sign, moodiness and too many ups and downs can sometimes get in the way of saying or accomplishing what you want to achieve. We will be operating from more of an emotional place than logical, and our feelings and judgment may be colored by our inner emotional reactions to things.

Cancer does not let others close until they feel a sense of trust toward the other person so don’t be surprised if some seem to back off a bit this month. In the end however, if you really connect there is no sign more loyal and protective than the crab, and their intuition about what is happening is generally spot on.

June 22nd, the Sun squares Saturn. This is typically a tiring and draining day and you may feel blocked in some way. This is not a light and frivolous transit and many of us will be focused on work. Typically, this transits deals with world events that involve leaders; Presidents, Prime ministers, etc.

The new moon in Cancer or the ‘Cancer birthday moon’ falls on May 25th at 4 degrees of Cancer. Since this moon squares Saturn and Neptune it won’t be the easiest of new moons. We may be focused on serious matters and in some cases we could experience endings.

Mercury enters Leo

Mercury in Leo is more expressive, playful and dramatic than any other sign. While Mercury is in Leo the way we speak or even write can be designed to get others attention or simply get some type of rise out of someone else. Our communication takes on leonine qualities and the way we present ourselves and our ideas will be far more bold, expressive and direct. At best self expression can manifest itself in a creative and dramatic manner meant to draw in those who are most significant whether in love, friendship or business.

At worst communication can be too dramatic in nature and lean toward emotional outbursts rather than a creative expression of what we want. Take care not to let your conversation become too over bearing, demanding or provocative toward others. They same goes for being overly exuberant in your expression of emotions. Think about what you really wish to convey before expressing it. As Leo is a fire sign it may be hard to tone things down and come across in a manner that doesn’t overwhelm others. We can also expect a certain amount of gas-lighting and attention grabbing maneuvers with Mercury in this sign. But, all in all communication should tend toward being positive, upbeat and a little more playful if not enjoyable. That’s not bad in these overly serious times.
