June 2021 forecast – Eclipse season and Mercury Retrograde

If you are feeling a bit bored, or not challenged enough, then June 2021 is a month to look forward to. Your life will start to get a bit eventful, to say the least.

Of course, if you are not bored and have quite a lot going on already, June may push you to your limits. With the Eclipse Season in Full swing, a 2nd Saturn-Uranus square, and Mercury retrograde for almost the entire month, June will definitely be a month to remember!

But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:

June 2nd, 2021 – Venus Enters Cancer

On June 2nd, 2021 Venus leaves Gemini and moves into Cancer, applying a trine to Jupiter in Pisces. What a lovely welcome! Venus feels cozy and homely in Cancer, and after a relatively agitated Gemini season, this is a nice change of vibe.

June 10th, 2021 – Solar Eclipse In Gemini

After a relatively cozy start to the month, the weather changes as we get to the “event of the month”. On June 10th, 2021 we will have a New Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse at 19° Gemini.

The Eclipse is exactly conjunct Mercury retrograde, and is square Neptune in Pisces, so this is a confusing one! Confusion doesn’t necessarily mean “bad”, but when Mercury is retrograde AND square Neptune, things may not be exactly as they seem, to put it mildly.

This Solar Eclipse in Gemini is an Annular Eclipse. Annular Eclipses are “special” Total Eclipses.

The disk of the Moon totally covers the Sun just like in a Total Eclipse, but because the Moon is a bit farther away from the Earth than usual, there is a ring of Sun around the edge of the Moon, which looks like a halo.

A halo has a deep spiritual meaning, symbolizing resurrection, or the idea that what is holy and divine (the light) cannot be overcome by darkness.

June 10th, 2021 – Mercury Retrograde Conjunct Sun

On June 10th, the Sun is conjunct Mercury retrograde at 20° Gemini. Whenever we have a Sun-Mercury retrograde conjunction, a new 116-day Mercury cycle begins!

This doesn’t mean that Mercury retrograde is over, but the Mercury-Sun conjunction gives us a sense of hope and new beginnings.

Right now, we are in that “in-between phase” where we are still on the sky path of the previous Mercury cycle – meaning we are still connected to the knowledge of the past, yet have received a new creative impulse from the Sun.

June 11th, 2021 – Mars Enters Leo

On June 11th, 2021 Mars leaves Cancer and moves into Leo. Somehow, we always notice when a planet moves into Leo, because that’s what Leo energy is all about… getting noticed and making a statement.

And that’s not because Leo is attention-seeking energy… but because we cannot NOT notice a planet in the sign of the Sun.

There is this light, radiance and warmth that emanates from any planet that travels through the “Leo territory” of the sky.

And when Mars, the boldest of the boldest, enters Leo, the temperature will rise pretty much straight away.

In our everyday life, Mars in Leo will bring direction and focus into our lives. We will find it easier to connect to our heart, and act from that place of truth and authenticity. As a result, we will feel more in tune with life, and confident about our actions.

June 14th, 2021 – Saturn Square Uranus

Mid-June we have the 2nd (in a series of 3) Saturn-Uranus square. Saturn is at 13° Aquarius, and Uranus at 13° Taurus.

Saturn and Uranus have been in a tight orb pretty much all year, so it’s not that this square will take us completely by surprise… we somehow already got used to its tension and friction. But as with any aspect that becomes exact, we will witness an energy peak.

The good thing about any energetic culmination, is that there is no further escalation. The tension bursts, forcing us to deal with whatever it is that requires our attention. This is a time to deal with what’s no longer working, and FIX it, once and for all.

June 20th, 2021 – Jupiter Goes Retrograde

On June 20th, 2021 Jupiter stations retrograde at 2° Pisces. When Jupiter changes direction, our belief system is up for a review. Most of our beliefs are borrowed from other people.

When Jupiter goes retrograde, it’s time to look at these borrowed beliefs and ask ourselves whether they really define us. We know we are at odds with our beliefs, when we have a feeling of alienation, and lose our faith.

Our natural state is to have faith in life. When we lose this faith, we know that something is off, we know that there is something about our beliefs that needs to be addressed and reviewed. Jupiter retrograde is an excellent opportunity to ‘get real’ and scrutinize our belief system.

June 21st, 2021 – Sun Enters Cancer

Happy birthday to all Cancers out there! On June 21st, 2021 the Sun enters Cancerand we have the Northern Solstice, which brings us Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

This – as any Sun’s ingress in a Cardinal sign – is a very important turning point. And I mean it literally, because the Sun literally changes direction when it is at 0° Cancer.

If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun starts moving South, and if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, the Sun starts moving North.

The Cancer solstice is also a point of culmination. We either have the longest day, or the longest night of the year. This is when we reach a crossroad: do we continue on the same path, or do we choose to start a new course!

June 22nd, 2021 – Mercury Goes Direct

On June 22nd, 2021 Mercury goes direct at 16° Gemini, bringing back our focus, mental clarity, and sense of direction.

The good thing about this Mercury Retrograde is that it occurs in Gemini, the sign of its domicile. When Mercury is in domicile, even the retrograde is not as tough as it is in other signs of the zodiac.

Yes, we had to review what was no longer working, yes we had to fix what was broken, but it’s not that we had that many hurdles on the way.

And now that Mercury goes direct, it’s not only that a weight will suddenly be lifted from our shoulders, but we will also have that feeling of accomplishment and forward momentum: yes, it was a bit tough, but it was worth it!

June 24th, 2021 – Full Moon In Capricorn

On June 24th, we have a Full Moon at 3° Capricorn. The Full Moon makes a sweet sextile to Jupiter, and it is 23° away from Pluto (Pluto is now at 26° Capricorn).

Most Full Moons in the past 10 years or so had a Pluto favor. This Full Moon will have such a different vibe, that we will wonder if this is really a Full Moon in Capricorn… or we’re still in the Gemini/Sagittarius lunar season.

Yes, the Full Moon is in Capricorn, it’s just that it is more flamboyant and optimistic than usual. This is one of the most positive and constructive Full Moons of the year, so make sure you take advantage of it!

June 25th, 2021 – Neptune Goes Retrograde

On June 25th, Neptune goes retrograde at 23° Pisces. When a planet changes direction, we notice an intensification of themes connected to that planet. When Neptune goes retrograde, old memories, dreams, fantasies or longings resurface, asking us to deal with them.

Of course, the way Neptune deals with things is not very straightforward, but it doesn’t mean that Neptune doesn’t work in the background. In fact, working in the background is pretty ‘Neptune’.

Let’s say something happens to us but we can’t really process it. This unprocessed thought or feeling eventually shows up in a dream.

We get stuck in a problem and we can’t seem to find a solution, but then suddenly, when we take a shower or go for a walk, the solution comes to us. Dreams, serendipities, unexpected encounters… these are all the workings of Neptune.

Neptune may not be straightforward, but it DOES offer solutions. Pay attention to signs, dreams, unusual communication messages. If something feels relevant and important – even if you can’t put your finger on it – chances are, it IS important and Neptune is whispering into your ear.

June 27th, 2021 – Venus Enters Leo

On June 27th, Venus enters royal Leo, and starts applying a conjunction to Mars. Next month, we will have a beautiful Venus-Mars conjunction in the sign of Leo.

This is the most joyful, romantic, and creative aspect we can have, and perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of the year! But more about Venus conjunct Mars in the July forecast!

Age of Aquarius Is Now Open For Enrollment

Towards the end of the month, we open the doors to the Age Of Aquarius Community.

Each month, we have a “topic of the month”. In May, we talked in depth about Out Of Bounds Planets (since we had a record of 4 out of bounds planets in May). Our members loved the training, the Zoom call, and the community discussions!

In June, the topic of the month is called “Words and Symbols”, since we are in the Gemini season… and Mercury is retrograde all month.

These are just some of the new materials we will release in June:

  • Monthly forecasts (including customized forecast for your ascendant sign)
  • New Moon and Solar Eclipse Ceremony
  • Mercury Retrograde training
  • An Exercise on how to reframe your mental models and get rid of outdated thinking patterns
  • A Guest Webinar about Sabian Symbols
  • A member Zoom call/workshop called “The Qualities of Life” where we will play with symbols and the 4 elements.

When you join, you will also get access to all previous content (and that’s a lot of amazing content!). And if the community is not right for you, you can cancel at any time, no questions asked.
