June Astral Insights
June, Gemini Szn, obviously my favorite as it is my birthday month and also who doesn't love the Sun gracing us with his presence! For any fellow Geminis or Cancers, or really anyone, check out my birthday ritual for an amazing birthday!
Back to our June astral insights, this month is a dynamic month for us (wouldn't expect anything less from the Gemini/Cancer cycle). Starting with the Full Strawberry Moon to the Pluto Retrograde taking Pluto back into Capricorn to work on unfinished business, we are seeing some big changes not only within ourselves but in the collective.
6/4 Full Moon in Sagittarius
Strawberry Moon
This Full Moon is where we witness the seeds we planted earlier in the year, come to harvest. During this time we start to see the first wave of harvests that Summer and Fall bring us. The first flush of strawberries are almost her.
The strawberry moon invites us to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
With this Moon in Sagittarius, we look to their love of experiences and healthy appetite for life and knowledge. Their influence will leave us feeling energized, cheerful and ready to explore this life.
This is a time to try new things, new experiences and put yourself out there. Both Gemini and Sagittarius aren't afraid to be bold and are highly curious, so harness that energy and don't be afraid to put yourself out there.
Shoot for the stars!

6/18 New Moon in Gemini
This New Moon presents us with an opportunity to
This New Moon asks us to re-evaluate our paths and our communication and social skills, presenting us with an opportunity to realign our goals and commit to them.
This New Moon is a potent one, giving us a chance to make important changes within our lives. Gemini is pushing us to review just how much we actually take in information and communicate in an effective and loving way.
It’s time to improve our communication skills by listening to others and enjoying others’ points of view. But before we set out on this new journey, the Neptune square may bring up some disillusionments, causing us to wrestle with perceptions and expectations. While it may be hard to see the direction we're heading, the desire for a better future will motivate new beginnings, especially if we keep communicating clearly with ourselves and those around us.
6/19 Jupiter Sextile Saturn
This transit is about opportunities to put our plans into motion! Balanced in approach and endeavors you can see potential benefits and pitfalls, helping you to improve your judgement. This influence helps crystalize and lock in lessons learned, so spend some time reflecting.
6/20 - 6/23 Litha ~ Summer Solstice
Litha, often referred to as the Summer Solstice and known as Midsummer, is the Solar Festival that marks the beginning of Summer. During this time the Sun sits high in the sky, giving us the longest days and shortest nights in the Northern hemisphere.

6/21 Cancer Szn
Sun Enters Cancer
This sensitive sign plunges us into our emotional depths and asking us to focus on our roots and inner life. Cancer is the sign of home and with the Saturn Retrograde within this sign we are turning our attention to our boundaries and commitments. This season is a great time to tend to our foundational beliefs and nurture our relationships with friends, lovers, family and loved ones.
6/30 Neptune Retrograde
Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion is at home within the Pisces retrograde. As the ruler of Pisces, this Neptune retrograde gives us a different perspective and points to the lies to which we've been loyal. Challenging us to connect with our subconscious to uncover all that has been repressed, allowing the unexpected to come to the surface, and meeting it with love and a deeper level of understanding.
