German alchemical image - 1582
It amuses me that these ancient images often have frowning Suns! Maybe even the Sun is feeling the heat - the pressure of it all, and wants to be calmed down. Plus can you imagine sitting up there and having to shine 24/7. It gets kinda weary. Ha!

**A note about aspects. The following list gives you the day the aspect is mathematically exact, but effects are often felt a day before or a day after. With very strong aspects, such as Stations or Eclipses, we may see events several days before exactitude and later when other planets re-trigger those marker degrees. Aspects affect you personally the most if they connect closely to planets or points in your chart. Contact your astrologer for individualized interpretations.
9. 6/14/24 – A day with 2 aspects:
-- Second Quarter Moon @ 23 Virgo @ 1:18AM EDT. – We follow up the promptings of the New Moon at 16 Gemini on 6/6/24. Both Moon phases are ruled by Mercury. With Mercury now traveling through Gemini there’s great focus on the words we use and why we use them and what they mean. The Second Quarter Moon asks us to be both efficient (rather than verbose), selective in our language and to discriminate whether the words we hear are accurate and factually correct.
-- Sun/Gemini conjunct Mercury/Gemini @ 24deg. – Mercury sits in the heart of the Sun, and we may be unable to distinguish who we are from what we communicate since the ego is combined with mind. We recognize ourselves by the words we speak, or do we? We want to communicate and be known for our knowledge and intelligence. Sharing stories with others stimulates wisdom in all who participate. Any group (even two people) generates linguistic excitement with the potential to gain further wisdom and understanding! We easily gather fresh ideas and interesting information, and we hunger for better ways to become and to shine in consciousness.
10. 6/16/24 – Father’s Day! – A shout-out to the men out there who practice good fathering. You are the best. A father’s love is like no other. Keep up the good work, your children need your guidance.
-- Venus/Gemini square Neptune/Pisces @ 29deg. – We might feel disappointment if our expectations are not met, or our value is not recognized. Art, music, beauty can inspire you today and soothe any ragged edges. For writers or artists of any stripe immerse yourself and feel the inspiration. Overindulgence is easier under this influence as boundaries are more porous and the desire to escape is stronger. Find the best positive escapes that you can manage to recharge yourself.
11. 6/17/24 – A day with 4 key aspects:
-- Venus enters cardinal, water Cancer (until 7/11/24). – Venus is soft in the Moon’s sign. It’s focused on home, family, tribe, and community. It loves good food and feeling appreciated. It nurtures and cares for others but oftentimes gives too much and then becomes resentful. Participate in local events and the communities that support you and those you want to support. It’ll be easier to notice rudeness, unkindness, and inconsiderate behavior.
