Forecast for 2026
What about 2026? Will it be different? Yes, in some ways. 2025 was a “9” year (2+0+2+5=9), the end of a cycle, symbolizing a year for finishing things in preparation for 2026, a “1” year (2+0+2+6=10; 1+0=1), the beginning of a new cycle, symbolizing a year for starting new things. For reference, the previous “9” year was 2016 (2+0+1+6=9), and the previous “1” year was 2017 (2+0+1+7=10; 1+0=1). Did you start or acquire something in 2017 that culminated, ended, was sold, or disposed of in 2025? If so, that is the essence of these nine-year recurring cycles.
So, will 2026 be better? Will it feel different? In many ways, probably not, as there is a lot of energy and dynamics that are carrying over. With most long cycles, things don’t make sharp changes; they flow as one year fades away and the new year grows and takes over.
Extended Forecast for June
June starts with both the Moon and Mercury void-of-course and joined by Venus out-of-bounds. Only Pluto is retrograde but that will change by the end of June. Waning is the predominant energy suggesting that you may either have unfinished work from May to complete or work that needs to be completed in early June. Check your due dates. Don’t let yourself get behind. Don’t ignore new incoming work as some of it may have an early due date.
June 1st starts with (OoBN) Mercury entering Cancer and later the Moon will enter Capricorn. The Sun will sextile Saturn on the 2nd and then (OoBN) Mercury will square Neptune on the 3rd. On the 6th, Jupiter will finally leave His shadow. On the 7th, Venus will return in-bounds. On the 9th, the current Moon Wobble could “end,” that means that the frequency and severity of chaotic events should decrease.
06/01/2 – 4:56 am – (OoBN) Mercury enters Cancer
With Mercury now in cardinal water Cancer, some may find their thoughts, words, and reactions take on a more emotional tone. Family matters may take on a greater importance at this time as well. For some, words of love, beauty, perhaps even poetry may come out. But for others, words may be harsh, almost cruel, and hurtful. Be sure to note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you during the night or on waking. Being out-of-bounds, Mercury isn’t necessarily constrained by their normal rules of behavior. It is best to hold your tongue and not speak until you have engaged your brain and have taken the time to carefully consider what to say and how to say it.
Just over 1 1/2 hours later (6:32 am), the (OoBS) slow Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to shadow Jupiter. This is the precursor to the opposition. This could be a good day to focus on work that is ready to be “harvested,” that is prepared for movement from developing to completing.
06/01/26 – 6:19 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon enters Capricorn
Now in cardinal earth Capricorn, often called the “business” sign of the zodiac, it’s the first of the month and a good time to get down to business. Keep in mind that the Moon is in Her detriment in Capricorn as it is the sign opposite Cancer, the sign ruled by the Moon. Here the Moon is often weaker, less able to take full advantage of Her strengths. Take stock of your work priorities and workload. When making plans, be practical and realistic.
06/01/26 – 8:32 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon cardinal opposition (OoBN) Mercury
This is the midpoint of their current cycle that started with their conjunction May 16, shortly after the Gemini New Moon. Did you start something new around that date? If so, how is it developing? Oppositions are sometimes referred to as “harvest” time, a time when the “thing” should be fully formed. This isn’t to say that it is finished, but that it is ready to go from developing to consolidating, to being prepared for and then completed.
Just over two hours later (10:38 pm), the slow (OoBS) Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Uranus. This is the first aspect after the opposition and may be offering an opportunity for a unique solution to a problem that may be holding you back. Note any sudden insights, inspiration, or “a-ha” moments.
06/02/26 – 2:35 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning cardinal square Neptune
This crisis of consciousness square represents the time for the last big action to prepare what you are working on to be completed. It is time to pare it down, to make the hard choices about what to keep and what to let go of. Note any dreams, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you during the night or on waking. You should be able to find your answers in them.
06/02/26 – 3:49 pm – Sun waxing sextile shadow Saturn
This is the pause and review of any new things started recently sextile. How are they developing? What should your next action be to keep things moving forward? It is time to consider and plan what your next action should be as the next major aspect in sequence is the crisis of action square.
06/02/26 – 5:03 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning earth trine Mars
This is the pause and plan your next action trine. Coming at this time, it may relate to things to do tomorrow. However, Mars is in His detriment in Taurus, which means He is weaker, harder to control, and more likely to act impulsively. It is important to plan before taking action.
06/02/26 – 7:25 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning cardinal square shadow Saturn
It is another crisis of consciousness square. Time to execute your plan and take those actions necessary to prepare the work for completion.
Just 18 minutes later (7:43 pm), the slow (OoBS) Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to the Sun. With nothing in common, what surprise might the two great lights have in store for you? Hopefully it will be something that will help you get your work done.
06/03/26 – 7:37 am – slow (OoBS) Moon cardinal opposition Venus
This is the second of three Moon in detriment in Capricorn oppositions to a planet in Her home sign of Cancer. A weakened Moon opposite Venus could manifest for some as emotional reactions to family issues possibly involving love, partnerships, desires, or finances. Focus on maintaining your composure. Capricorn is the home of practical Saturn. Utilize that energy to find a doable balance between both sides of the issue.
06/03/26 – 5:18 pm – Mercury waxing cardinal square Neptune
This crisis of action square may require the combination of Virgo’s analytical precision and Gemini’s quick wit to overcome any of Neptune’s tricks to reveal the best action to take.
06/03/26 – 8:04 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a cardinal opposition to shadow Jupiter, the third opposition of the Moon in Capricorn to a planet in Cancer, the Moon will go void-of-course for about 10 3/4 hours, until entering the Aquarius tomorrow morning. Jupiter is exalted (strengthened) in Cancer while the Moon is weakened (in Her detriment), in Capricorn. Jupiter is still in His shadow and owes “homage” (rent) to the Moon, “owner” of Cancer. Don’t push your luck. Be realistic in your goals and expectations. While this pair may be testing your balance, focus and you should be alright.
Set aside any new things until tomorrow morning, after the Moon enters Aquarius.
06/04/26 – 2:26 am – slow Moon returns In-Bounds
As She silently slips across 27 Capricorn 50’, the Moon will once more return into the boundaries of the Sun. Some may feel as if things are beginning to return to “normal,” while others may sense less of a pull to the past and the way things were. There is no going back. Those who haven’t learned from the past are doomed to repeat it. Be sure to note any dreams you may have with as much detail as possible.
06/04/26 – 6:46 am – slow (OoBS) Moon enters fixed air Aquarius
Some may feel the energy shift from cardinal earth, let’s get it done Capricorn to fixed air, hocus pocus, got to focus Aquarius. If you’ve been having difficulty focusing on your work or solving a problem, the Moon’s transit of Aquarius over the next couple of days could be helpful if you tap into it.
06/04/26 – 11:19 am – slow Moon waning air trine Uranus
This is the pause and plan your next action trine. With the Moon in Uranus’ fixed air Aquarius home, trust your intuition as you consider your creative options.
Just 32 minutes later (11:51 am), Mercury will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to retrograde Pluto. They share nothing in common, different, non-complimentary elements and modes of operation. This is the last aspect before their opposition. What surprises you most about this exchange? Did you get a sudden insight? Were you surprised by learning that something you thought was true wasn’t, or that something you thought was done wasn’t?
06/04/26 – 3:00 pm – slow Moon waning sextile Neptune
This is the finish something sextile, but with Neptune involved, you may have difficulty deciding what is ready to be finished as you try to clear away Neptune’s fog while He dissolves things around you. It is also time to start thinking about what, if anything, you want to start at their conjunction in five days.
06/04/26 – 5:22 pm – slow Moon fixed air conjunction retrograde Pluto
This is the beginning of their new cycle. Is there something new that you want to start now? With Pluto involved, you need to commit to it fully. If you aren’t sure, it would be best if you wait to start it when you are positive and fully committed to it.
Less than one hour later (6:10 pm), the slow Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Mercury. With Mercury in the Moon’s Cancer home involved, the surprise could manifest as a thought or inspiration. It might come from a billboard, a license plate, a TV program or commercial. If it comes, note it, repeat it, write it down so you won’t forget it.
06/05/26 – 7:51 am – slow Moon waning sextile shadow Saturn
This is another finish something sextile. With Saturn involved, be sure to dot your “i’s” and cross your “t’s”. Double check your work before considering it completed.
Just over one hour later (9:00 am), the slow Moon will make a waning fixed crisis of consciousness square to Mars. This is the pare down, consolidate, eliminate that which doesn’t add value to the final product square. In the normal flow of things, this square would follow the next aspect. You may have to take an action before you have had time to fully consider your options. Just because Mars is involved, don’t feel that you need to make an impulsive decision. You just need to pause, think things through, trust your instinct, then decide and take action.
06/05/26 – 12:51 pm – slow Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waning pause and plan your next action air trine to the Sun, the Moon goes void-of-course for almost 29 hours, until entering Pisces late tomorrow afternoon.
06/06/26 – 1:40 am – accelerating Moon waning inconjunct/ quincunx Venus
There won’t be an exact major aspect until tonight. Venus is still in the Moon’s Cancer home as the two great ladies of the zodiac make this aspect. The ancients considered this aspect as signifying that the two cannot “see” each other. Your surprise may come from an unknown or unrecognized source. Don’t discount it, but don’t be deceived by something you know isn’t true.
Less than seven hours later (8:21 am), the accelerating Moon will make another waning inconjunct/quincunx, this time to shadow Jupiter just before He leaves His shadow. Just because you don’t “see” something, doesn’t mean you won’t or can’t hear of feel it. Be open and alert for signs from everywhere. With Jupiter in the Moon’s Cancer home, He may resort to an indirect way to connect with you. Trust your gut instinct.
Just 38 minutes later (8:59 am), as He crosses 25 Cancer10’, the point at which He stationed retrograde November 11, 2025, Jupiter will leave His shadow and will regain His full strength as He enters new territory. He is exalted in Cancer and so may have a sudden burst of strength to manifest whatever you need or desire.
06/06/26 – 5::43 pm – accelerating Moon enters mutable water Pisces
With this shift, some may find themselves more emotionally open or just feeling more emotional. Some may feel like a leaky faucet, tearing up at the slightest thing. Others may find themselves seeking a greater understanding of their spiritual or religious beliefs.
06/06/26 – 10:21 pm – accelerating Moon waning mutable square Uranus
With Uranus involved in this crisis of consciousness square, you may receive a special message in a dream or sudden insight tonight that will guide you for your actions tomorrow.
06/07/26 – 6:47 am – Venus returns In-Bounds
As She crosses 23 Cancer 08’, the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Desire, will return into the warm boundaries of the Sun. That doesn’t mean your love life, or lack thereof will get better, but you should experience fewer extremes in your relationships.
06/07/26 – 12:15 pm – accelerating Moon waning water trine Mercury
It is another pause and plan your next actions trine. This is also an opportunity to pause and reconsider whatever you have planned to do this afternoon. Water represents our emotions suggesting that you may want to trust yourself when making your decisions. Sometimes, doing what feels right can be the better choice than what you or someone else thinks you should do.
06/07/26 – 10:16 pm – average Moon waning sextile Mars
This is the finish something sextile. If it is too late to finish something tonight, then start your day tomorrow by finishing something. Then get back to your action plan for the day.
06/08/26 – 3:00 am – average Moon waning mutable square Sun
This crisis of consciousness square relates back to their 25 Taurus 58’ New Moon conjunction of May 16. Did you start anything new around that time? If so, how is it doing? Is it ready for you to put the “finishing touches” on it to complete it or make it ready to be completed? If it isn’t, why isn’t it? What do you need to do next to make it ready to be completed? Note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you during the night or on waking. Your answers may not be obvious, so pay close attention and record as much detail as possible.
06/08/26 – 4:05 pm – average Moon waning water trine Venus
Today finishes with a pair of pause and plan your next action trines. With both points in water signs, trust your feelings, both what and how you are feeling. Visualize the finished product. Then make it happen.
06/08/26 – 5:38 pm – average Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following another waning water trine, this one to Jupiter, the Moon will go void-of-course for almost 8 hours, until entering Aries very early tomorrow morning. Coming at this time of the day, set aside any new things that might come up until tomorrow, after the Moon is in Aries.
06/09/26 – 1:33 am – average Moon enters Aries
This looks to be a busy morning for the Moon as She will make three major aspects before noon. In the afternoon, She will turn the day over to Venus and Mercury as each will make a major aspect, for a total of five today. Visualize the finished product. If you can, see it in your mind.
06/09/26 – 6:08 am – accelerating Moon waning sextile Uranus
This finish something sextile is the first of five exact major aspects today. This suggests that you may want to start your day by actually finishing something. Completing a task or project will generally give one a positive feeling which in this case starts your day on an up note. Now, keep that positive energy flowing through the rest of your day.
06/09/26 – 9:05 am – accelerating Moon cardinal fire conjunction Neptune
This conjunction at 4 Aries 13’, marks the beginning of a new Moon Neptune monthly cycle. What new thing do you want to start now? If you have a “dream” project, this could be your opportunity to get it started.
06/09/26 – 10:56 am – accelerating Moon waxing sextile retrograde Pluto
This is the Moon’s first waxing aspect in several days and marks the beginning of Her shift from waning consolidating to waxing expansive, developing energies. For any new things started recently, this is the time to decide, do you keep it or set it aside? If you keep it, what should your next action be to keep it moving forward? Food for thought.
06/09/26 – 12:59 pm – Venus cardinal water conjunction Jupiter
Their conjunction is at 25 Cancer 47’. This marks the end of their old cycle which began August 11, 2025, at 14 Cancer 04’, and the beginning of their new annual cycle. Their cycles vary between about 10 months, when Venus doesn’t go retrograde, and 14-15 months when She does. This new cycle will last until August 25, 2027, when they will be conjunct at 6 Virgo 34’. With Jupiter no longer in His Shadow, this could be the “Go BIG” cycle to start creating your most desired outcome.
06/09/26 – 10:39 pm – Mercury waxing cardinal square shadow Saturn
This late night crisis of action square may be for the night owls, or for your first action tomorrow. With Saturn involved, don’t overthink it. Keep it doable and realistic.
06/10/26 – 12:29 am – accelerating Moon cardinal fire conjunction shadow Saturn
This marks the beginning of a new Moon Saturn cycle. Pay attention to any dreams, disturbances that may wake you, sudden insights, thoughts that seem to come out of nowhere, any feelings or other sensations you may have. Note times and as much detail as you can.
Just eleven minutes later (12:40 am), the accelerating Moon will make a waning cardinal crisis of consciousness square to Mercury. If something wakes you around this time, it is important. Note the time, what it was and as much detail as you can. Be sure to include what you were thinking and or feeling at the time when you were woken.
06/10/26 – 10:59 am – Current Moon Wobble ends???
The Sun is now 17 degrees from their exact square to the nodes. The current Moon wobble should begin to diminish as hopefully, the level of chaos around you and in the world also begins to decrease.
06/10/26 – 12:28 pm – fast Moon waning sextile Sun
This is another finish something sextile as their next aspect will be their New Moon conjunction June 14. You may want to spend the afternoon finishing things or you may choose to pick something quick to get finished and then get on with your other work. Depending on the nature of your job, you may or may not have the freedom to choose.
06/10/26 – 10:52 pm – fast Moon waning cardinal square Jupiter
The day ends with this crisis of consciousness square to Jupiter. It is late so you may just want to make notes for how to implement this tomorrow, or if you work a night shift or have that flexibility, you can use this now to focus on things that have a short deadline. What is the best action to take now to get them ready to be completed?
Forecast for June 11-20
On the 11th, the Moon will make a waning square to Venus, after which they will both go void-of-course. The Moon’s will only last about 4 hours, but Venus’ will last until the 13th when She will enter Leo. On the 12th, Mercury will enter the Shadow for their next retrograde which starts on June 29. The 14th is Flag Day, the 251st Birthday of the US Army and also the Gemini New Moon. On the 15th Venus will sextile Uranus and then She will trine Neptune on the 16th. There will be 5 exact major aspects on the 17th, including oppositions by the Moon and then Venus to Pluto. On the 19th the Sun will go void-of-course, then Chiron will enter Taurus. The only aspect on the 20th will be a quincunx.
06/11/26 – 1:22 am – fast Moon and Venus go Void-of-Course
Following a waning cardinal crisis of consciousness square by the Moon to Venus, both will go void-of-course. The Moon’s will last for just over four hours, until entering Taurus at 5:28 am. Venus’ will last just over two days, until She enters Leo on the 13th.
The Moon will be void-of-course from 27 Aries 34’ until reaching 0 Taurus 00’. Venus will be void-of-course from 27 Cancer 34’ until reaching 0 Leo 00’ early on the 13th. As they finish their transits (29-0, the anaretic degree), both the Moon and Venus will be challenged by what they have left to complete and intrigued by what the new sign might have in store for them.
This consolidating square is about taking actions necessary to get whatever you are working on ready to be completed. Coming at this time, note any dreams, insights, “a-ha” moments, feelings, or other sensations you may have during the night or on waking.
06/11/26 – 2:08 pm – faster Moon waxing fixed square retrograde Pluto
This crisis of action square can be related to any new things started in the last week or so and what action you should take now to keep it/them on track and on time. Check your notes. Did you receive any guidance during the night or this morning?
06/12/26 – 7:26 am – faster Moon waning sextile (OoBN) Mercury
The Moon appears to be moving faster and faster, now able to transit a sign in 2 days. Does the pace of life seem to be moving faster as well? This is the finish something sextile. Mercury will soon enter their shadow meaning soon, somethings may need to be redone, restarted, redirected, or repeated as Mercury will station retrograde before the end of this month.
06/12/26 – 11:37 am – faster Moon fixed conjunction Mars
The Moon may be playing into Mars’ hands as He loves fast things. Be quick. Do it, then move on to the next thing. Haste is a necessity to Him. This conjunction is at 18 Taurus 25’, and while fast and fixed earth Taurus don’t usually go together, think super highway or a packed dirt track car race. Packed earth gives a solid footing to support whatever you are doing. However, a potential downside is that it could be due to a severe drought which has its own potential consequences. Some caution and review will always be better than none.
06/12/26 – 5:53 pm – Mercury enters their Shadow
As Mercury crosses 16 Cancer 19’, they enter the zone they will appear to transit three times during their coming retrograde. This retrograde covers the zodiac from 16 Cancer 19’, where they will station direct on July 23 to 26 Cancer 15’, where they will station retrograde on June 29. Typically, Mercury retrogrades occur in signs of the same element each year. This year they are all in water signs adding an emotional volatility to them. Also, the longest in time will cover the shortest distance while the shortest in time will cover the longest distance. This coming retrograde will be the longest in time, lasting 24 days, yet only cover 10 degrees of the zodiac. The last retrograde this year will be only 20 days long, yet cover 15 degrees of Scorpio. Forewarned is forearmed.
06/12/26 – 7:40 pm – faster Moon goes Out-of-Bounds North
As the Moon crosses 23 Taurus 26, She once again slips beyond the northern or upper boundary of the Sun. The north symbolizes the future, what is coming. Some of it may be known, but much of it will remain unknown until it is time. It also represents things that we consume, use, and at some point “expel” through the south node.
06/13/26 – 12:30 am – faster (OoBN) Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waning finish something sextile to Jupiter, the first of five exact major aspects by the Moon today, She will go void-of-course for over 5 1/2 hours. Fortunately, most should be able to sleep through this, or at least most of it. Start your day by sticking to whatever you had planned or your morning routine. Set aside any new things that may come up until after the Moon enters Gemini later this morning. Today could be an emotional roller coaster for some.
06/13/26 – 3:47 am – Venus enters Leo
As Venus enters the Sun’s home sign of fixed fire Leo, be sure to note any dreams, insights, realizations, “a-ha” moments, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you. Leo is about power, and “out-shining” others. Vernus’ last transit of Leo was from August 25 to September 19 of last year. What was that period like for you? It should provide some idea as to what to expect this year. Her transit of Leo this year will last until July 9 when She will enter Virgo.
06/13/26 – 6:06 am – faster (OoBN) Moon enters Gemini
Now in Mercury’s mutable air home of Gemini, the twins, you may find yourself or others are more inclined to talk …, about anything, or everything, or just not want to “shut-up!” The upside is that the fast Moon will be out of here in two days.
Just twelve minutes later (6:18 am), the faster (She keeps going faster) (OoBN) Moon will make a second waning finish something sextile, this one to Venus, for Her second aspect of the day. You should probably start your day by finishing some things. Whatever it may be depending on the work you do, complete something this morning. The next aspect is a conjunction when you should start something new. But what? That is your choice. You know your priorities and timelines.
06/13/26 – 10:31 am – faster (OoBN) Moon mutable air conjunction Uranus
This is Her third aspect of the day and is at 2 Gemini 47’. What new thing have you decided to start? You don’t have to do it at this exact time, generally you can consider a window of a few hours before or after the exact aspect. Pretty much any new thing you start today, will be part of this conjunction. Mercury and Gemini represent not just communication but also our mental process. How we think, decide, and solve problems. With Uranus involved, trust your instinct, rely on your unique individual knowledge and abilities.
06/13/26 – 12:51 pm – faster (OoBN) Moon waxing sextile Neptune
This pause and review of any new things started recently, and plan your next action sextile is Her fourth aspect of the day. With Neptune involved this could be about a “dream” idea you have or it could be unclear what to do as Neptune uses His fog to hide the obvious. The Moon may be moving very fast, but you can’t afford to rush headlong into this without carefully evaluating and considering the facts first.
06/13/26 – 2:18 pm – faster (OoBN) Moon waxing air trine retrograde Pluto
This pause and review of any recent actions trine is Her fifth and final aspect today. With Pluto in fixed air Aquarius, your ability to focus should be enhanced. Be sure to use this energy.
06/13/26 – 6:44:07 pm – President Trump’s 2026 Solar Return
This is the exact moment in time when the transiting Sun will be at the exact degree, minute, and second of arc as it was when he was born. This chart can be interpreted to give insights into what the year ahead may be like for him. This is based on his being in Washington, DC at this time.
06/14/26 – 3:00 am – faster (OoBN) Moon waxing sextile shadow Saturn
This is the pause and review of any new things started recently sextile. With adhere to the rules Saturn involved you need to check everything very carefully. Consider how are the new things developing? Are they on track and on time? If not, why not? What action should you take next to get and keep them on track and on time?
06/14/26 – 6:07 am – Mercury returns In-Bounds
As they cross 17 Cancer 57’, Mercury will return into the boundaries set by the Sun. There should be fewer episodes of people speaking without thinking or to just hear themselves talk. Controlled speech should be more common. Loose lips should be less common. Hopefully, there will be less nonsensical talk as well.
06/14/26 – 7:54 pm – fastest (OoBN) New Moon mutable air conjunction Sun
Now moving at an apparent speed of 15 degrees 18’ of arc, the Moon is going as fast as She will for this orbit, zipping through a sign in less than two days. This Flag Day New Moon is at 24 Gemini 03’. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A man trimming palms.” This symbolizes a time for clearing away the old to make way for the new. Clear out old things that don’t work, don’t fit, or are obsolete. Failure to do this can lead to delays, neglecting the real issues or things that need to be completed.
Following this, the fastest (OoBN) Moon will be void-of-course for over 9 hours, as She transits from 24 Gemini 03’, until entering Her Cancer home early tomorrow morning. Coming at this time, it should be easier to avoid starting anything new, set it aside for the first thing tomorrow morning, after the Moon is in Cancer.
06/15/26 – 5:14 am – fast (OoBN) Moon enters cardinal water Cancer
If you are up already, remember not to start anything new before this time. Stick with your routine or whatever you had planned until after this time. The Moon will be stronger now that She is in Her home sign. Many people may be more home and family focused. With the fast Moon, this may pass fairly quickly.
06/15/26 – 11:59 am – fast (OoBN) Moon waxing cardinal square Neptune
This crisis of action square sets the pace for your afternoon. Check your “dream” notes for ideas on how best to take advantage of this energetic square. Don’t let others mislead you or try to trick you into doing something you know isn’t right.
Over 1 1/3 hours later (1:21 pm), the fast (OoBN) Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to retrograde Pluto. This is the last aspect before their opposition and that uncomfortable feeling you get sometimes but just can’t quite put your finger on it. Expect a surprise of some kind as you plan what action you are going to take with their opposition.
06/15/26 – 3:53 pm – Venus waxing sextile Uranus
This is the pause and review of any new things started recently sextile. Take time to review them. Make sure that you haven’t forgotten anything or that there isn’t something that needs to be changed. Keeping the newer stuff on track and on time will pay off down the line.
06/16/26 – 2:23 am – fast (OoBN) Moon waxing cardinal square shadow Saturn
It’s another crisis of action square, this one involving Saturn in fiery Aries and the Moon in watery Cancer. Fire and water are not complimentary elements so this is part of the reason squares can be so difficult. Fire can boil away the water while water can put out the fire. Choosing an action that does neither, is critical.
06/16/26 – 1:12 pm – fast (OoBN) Moon cardinal water conjunction shadow Mercury
This conjunction is at 20 Cancer 10’. What’s on your mind at this time? Water is an effective transmitter of sound. In fact, sound travels roughly four times faster in seawater than in air and low frequency sounds (infrasound), such as those made by whales can travel hundreds of miles through the ocean. Is there a point that you want to make with your action? If so, be sure that it is clear.
06/16/26 – 3:15 pm – fast (OoBN) Moon waxing sextile Mars
It is another pause and review of any new things started recently sextile. Do you have things leftover from yesterday’s waxing sextile? If so, this could be your best opportunity to get them done.
06/16/26 – 8:41 pm – Venus waxing fire trine Neptune
This trine is from Venus in fixed fire, focused, Leo to wispy Neptune in cardinal fire Aries. This is the pause and review of any recent actions trine. As you reflect on your day, did you overlook, or miss anything? Did you find something that you need to redo, or change? Fix it now or in the morning.
06/17/26 – 12:41 am – fast (OoBN) Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a cardinal water conjunction to Jupiter at 27 Cancer 17’, the first of six exact major aspects today, the fast Moon will go void-of-course for over four hours. Coming at this time, most will probably sleep through it and not have to worry about not starting anything new. Should you get up before the Moon enters Leo, stick with your plan or routine. With six major aspects, five of them involving the Moon and two each involving Venus and Pluto, this could be a very dynamic, possibly transformative day.
Just 33 minutes later (1:14 am), as She crosses 27 Cancer 38’, the fast Moon will return into the boundaries (in-bounds) set by the Sun. Though She is still moving fast, now that She is back in-bounds, some should find it easier to maintain control of their emotions, at least it may feel that way.
06/17/26 – 5:05 am – fast Moon enters Leo
Now in the Sun’s fixed fire Leo home, some may find their attention focusing on finding their power, on what they can do to enhance their appearance and abilities to better themselves in their world.
06/17/26 – 10:00 am – fast Moon waxing sextile Uranus
This pause and review of any new things started recently sextile, is the second aspect of the day. Have you started any new things recently? How are they progressing? Are they developing as you expected? What should your next action be to keep them moving toward completion?
Just over two hours later (12:09 pm), the fast Moon will make a waxing, pause and review of any recent actions fire trine to Neptune for the third aspect of the day. Caution is advised as Neptune has been known to create illusions, leave a false trail, and try to confuse you. He is the Great Dissolver, so the “reality” you see around you may suddenly dissolve and disappear leaving you on your own, or if you are fortunate, revealing the real truth.
The last three aspects of the day involve the Moon, Venus, and retrograde Pluto and happen pretty much simultaneously in Universe time.
06/17/26 – 1:28 pm – fast Moon fixed fire conjunction Venus
This conjunction is at 5 Leo 07’, and is the fourth aspect of the day.
One minute later (1:29 pm), the fast Moon will make a fixed opposition to retrograde Pluto. Then just nine minutes later (1:38 pm), Venus will make Her fixed opposition to retrograde Pluto for the fifth and sixth aspects of the day. Those with planets or sensitive points at or near 5 degrees of any of the fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, may feel this the strongest.
But what does that all mean? How might this play out for people? Those most likely to be more directly affected by this are those who have one or more of these three planets at or near five degrees (3-7 degrees Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) of one of the four fixed signs. Of these three, Pluto, the smallest, is, in my opinion, the Powerhouse of the three. He demands that we strive to become our truest, pure self, the who we are meant to be. Powerful transformative Pluto aspects often have a life of their own, a life that can last months, even years. You will know it if you feel it as it can be like something you have never felt before.
06/18/26 – 3:27 am – fast Moon waxing fire trine shadow Saturn
This is the pause and review of any recent actions trine. Coming in the night, this could manifest as a dream, even what you might consider to be a nightmare, a sudden awareness, a feeling or other sensation. Be sure to note anything that happens during the night or on waking as there will be clues, and value in them. They may identify a recent action that you might need to redo or change. Do it first thing in the morning. It will be 16 hours before the next aspect, so this energy may last into the afternoon.
06/18/26 – 7:33 pm – decelerating Moon waxing fixed square Mars
The Moon appears to be slowing down, dropping below 14 degrees per day. This crisis of action square is from the Moon in fiery Leo to Mars in earthly Taurus. Again, these two elements are not complimentary, making it more difficult to make the decision. Earth can smother fire while fire can burn all that is on the earth. When eliminating or trimming something down, it is imperative that you remain in control.
06/19/26 – 4:30 am – decelerating Moon goes Void-of-Course
Following a waxing pause and review of any new things started recently, sextile to the Sun, both go void-of-course. After crossing 28 Leo 13’, the Moon begins Her void-of-course which will last just over three hours, until entering Virgo at 7:37 am. The Sun’s will last from 28 Gemini 13’, for almost 45 hours until entering Cancer early on the 21st. For most, their day may start before the void-of-course is over. If that is your case, stick with your normal routine or whatever you have planned, at least until after the Moon enters Virgo.
06/19/26 – 1:05 pm – decelerating Moon waxing mutable square Uranus
With Uranus involved, this crisis of action square has great potential for unique creativity. Be creative, don’t be afraid to be unique in choosing your actions.
06/19/26 – 2:20 pm – Chiron enters Taurus
Chiron is making a short visit to Taurus as He will station retrograde at 0 Taurus 52’ on August 3, 2026. His retrograde will take Him back into Aries on September 17, 2026. After stationing direct on January 6, 2027, He will say good-bye to Aries and Hello Taurus on April 14, 2027.
Chiron was discovered during His previous transit of Taurus which was from May 28, 1976 to October 13, 1976, when His retrograde took Him back to Aries. And then from March 28, 1977, to June 21, 1983 when He entered Gemini to November 29, 1983, when His retrograde took Him back into Taurus. Then on April 10, 1984, He said goodbye Taurus, hello Gemini. He was discovered at 9:56 am, on November 1, 1977, while retrograde at 3 Taurus 09’ and conjunct yet to be discovered Sedna, She was at 4 Taurus 47’. Chiron will return to His discovery degree three times, while direct June 8, 2027, while retrograde October 7, 2027, and lastly, while direct on April 6, 2028.
What might we expect from Chiron in Taurus? The obvious is, those born with Chiron in Taurus will have their Chiron return. They will be 50-51’ish, and if you haven’t had one very recently, this would be a good time for a complete physical. This could also be a good time to make amends with other family members, especially with mothers, fathers, grandfathers, sons and grandsons. Feelings of abandonment that may have been buried for years, may come up. By this time, you will have a lot of life and work experience. Consider sharing this with others as this can be a good time to be a teacher or to return to school and become a student again.
Almost one hour later (3:13 pm), the decelerating Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to Neptune. This is the last aspect before their opposition. Time to review things that you think may be ready to move from expanding developing to contracting finishing. Don’t let Neptune confuse you with His fog or mislead you with His false clues.
Over one hour after this (4:33 pm), the decelerating Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to retrograde Pluto. This is their first aspect after their opposition. The beginning of the waning consolidating phase as you move your work toward completion. Stay true to yourself, to who you are.
06/20/26 – 7:51 am – average Moon waxing inconjunct/quincunx shadow Saturn
Perhaps appropriately, this is the only aspect today as there will be seven exact major aspects tomorrow, all by the inconstant Moon. This is another before the opposition aspect. With Saturn involved, you should double check to make sure that you have everything you need to find your balance and complete your work.
Forecast for June 21-30
On the 21st, the Moon will make 7 major aspects, and the Sun will enter Cancer marking the Summer Solstice. There will be two major aspects on each of the next three days, the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, all by the Moon. The Sun will square Neptune on the 25th, then on the 26th the Moon will make 6 aspects. On the 27th Mars will make a sextile to Jupiter after which both go void-of-course. Mars will enter Gemini on the 28th. On the 29th Mercury will station retrograde, there will be the Capricorn Full Moon and then Jupiter will enter Leo. The Moon will make a square to Saturn and a quincunx to Venus on the 30th to end the month.



Wonderful, thank you!
Thank you, please keep up the excellent work! I’m sharing these forecasts with my astro friends
Pacific Daylight time is what is being used right now.
I’m sorry I’m new to reading your column. I love the exact times but are you referring to PST or GMT?
Yes, Katerina, Venus did enter Aquarius on Monday, January 2nd at 6:09pm PST.
Hi Jim, you mention Venus in Capricorn with the Cancer moon today. I have read other astrological sources which mention that Venus is now in Aquarius since January 2nd. I would appreciate you clearing up my current confusion regarding the actual Venus placement now. Thanking you in advance, Katerina Rellos
Re: your comment on “like kidney stones”, unfortunately not true. My father’s stones were subjected to lithotripsy back in the late 1990s. Maximum 3 treatments were permitted. His stones stood their ground. At least he was not in discomfort.
I enjoyed this reading otherwise.
Thank you!
Interesting. Thank for your efforts!
Thank you for your insights
It’s been a powerful Super Moon (March 9th) so far…also interesting it is so near Venus conjunct Uranus. It feels like really big things are happening on every front.
Here are the basic astrological details of His Royal Highness, Prince of Cambridge. Weight 8 lbs. 6 oz., according to news reports, the heaviest future King by birth weight in 100 years of more. Correct birth time is July 22, 2013, 4:24 pm, London, England.
A true “cusper” with Sun 29 Cancer 58. Moon 28 Capricorn 17, which means that HRH was born less than 3 hours before the full Moon at 0 Aquarius. Birth ascendant is 27 Scorpio 10 and his birth M/C is 20 Virgo 36. He was born with 7 of the 10 primary points in Cardinal signs and 6 of them in water signs. He has a Grand Water Trine of Mars 6 Cancer and Jupiter 5 Cancer trining Saturn 5 Scorpio and trining Neptune 5 Pisces. He also has a Cardinal T-square with Mercury 13 Cancer opposing Pluto 9 Capricorn and both squaring Uranus 12 Aries. He has none of the 10 primary points in an Air sign and 3 of them are retrograde. 3 retrogrades is the second most common number, 2 being the most common. Born with Mars out-of-bounds north might he be a rather precocious child, to say the least.
What a time to be born for the new prince-princess in England!
Leo sun, Cancer planets: care for the family = the Kingdom, Aquarius Moon- we need open minds in the future!
Hey Jim,
Source: Astronomical Phenomena For the Year 2013, prepared by US Naval Observatory and Her Majesty’s Nautical Almanac which defines lunar eclipse time as Moon reaching centermost point of its journey thorough the shadow cast by the earth, and solar eclipses timed for maximum obscuration — typically different from time of simple conjunction. However, I note the Rosicrucian Ephemeris, citing JPL and the US Naval Observatory call it at 5:21. I’m betting there’s yet another computation out there.
Hi Dane, thank you for your comment. Not sure what your source for the eclipse time is. I use Solar Fire 8 for the dates and times I post. The time is based on the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon which is 5:28 pm PDT. The NASA eclipse site shows a time of 5:26 pm PDT.
Probably just an editorial slip, but believe the May 9 eclipse doesn’t happen until 5:55 at 19 Taurus 33. Enjoy your observations!
“01/18/13 – 12:56 am – Mercury conjunct Sun 28 Aquarius 26”
Sun still in Capricorn
Oh boy! I am not an astrology student, however, I do enjoy reading your article every week. I have picked up the tiniest sliver of what is being discussed and from what I am able to glean, July sounds like it has the potential to be rather challenging. As a Taurus, I was happy to have read about the Mercury retrograde before it happens! I will be carefully watching my “p’s & q’s ” throughout the month and refer back to the entirety of the article – changes are a-comin’ for sure.
Thanks for your work!
