JUNE 2017 PREDICTIONS

Venus, Mercury and Mars move into Taurus, Gemini and Cancer signs respectively, early in June and the planets are moving quickly; the Sun joins  Mercury on June 21st, moving into Cancer, and the month seems to fly by.  A full moon on June 9th is aligned with Saturn and squared by Neptune, which brings in themes of confusion, responsibility and commitment — time to face the facts and deal with delusions!  On June 10th Jupiter turns direct, and should make it easier to focus on moving forward.  Saturn urges us to deal with the details, “face the facts and to be responsible, structured and disciplined”.  We need to “get real about what we want”, form clear intentions and move forward knowing our motivations, attaining our goals and desires.  Mars squares Jupiter and opposes Pluto, with a new moon on June 24th, which can present difficulties for several days.    “This alignment is classic for people overstepping their bounds, going overboard, biting off more than they can chew, or believing something is possible (or easy) when really it isn’t, at least not without a cost.  It is easy to become over-zealous, regarding something that you’re passionate about when these three planets are at odds with each other, and the darkest side of this is fanaticism.  We could see this acted out on our world stage in terrorism, bullying tactics, angry outbursts, or a total lack of tolerance of races and religions.  Strongly religious people will be more likely to try to enforce their beliefs — strong beliefs are likely to be exaggerated at this time.”  We should be mindful to try to not overstep our bounds with others and also with ourselves, physically, mentally, emotionally.  Testing our limits can leave us exhausted, depleted or injured.  Instead of all the striving, we can take it easier; practice moderation and more self-love.  “Moderation is the word for this new moon, alongside the Mars-Pluto-Jupiter alignment.”  This planetary event is awesome for new beginnings in new directions, but we also need to combine “enthusiasm with prudence, motivation with balance, the desire to get ahead with consideration for others, and optimism with a reality check”.   Let’s form the intention to ditch the baggage, get clear, be positive, breathe deeply and practice joyfulness.
