**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 personal interpretations.

1. 6/5/25 – Mercury/Gemini sextile Mars in fixed, fire Leo @ 23deg. – Mercury is strong in one of its home signs and this easy connection facilitates acting on those ideas that are uppermost in your mind. We might feel very attached to our ideas and therefore willing to speak forcefully to promote them. Words have movement and motivation. This can lead to a very lively debate. It’s too easy to blurt out whatever you think and then say “oops.” Mars in Leo can activate ego posturing. Speak from the heart without harshness.

2. 6/6/25 – Venus enters fixed, earth Taurus (until 7/4/25). – Venus enters one of the signs it rules and it’s strong, loyal, sweet, generous and stubborn too. It’s the salt of the earth, grounded and pragmatic. Being an earth sign it appreciates good quality people and products. Taurus is one of the money signs and has a natural ability to attract good vibes and opportunities because it is generous by nature. When it loves, it is loyal and it’s persistent in developing talents. It breeds goodwill by sharing easily and often. It's wonderful earthy sensibility and sensuality can be indulgent in food and all other pleasures.

3. 6/8/25 – A day with 2 aspects –

-- Mercury/Gemini conjunct Jupiter/Gemini @ 29deg. – The day before Jupiter changes signs, it’s possible there’s a major announcement in one of the many court cases
