Greetings Everyone,

June was such a dynamic month I had no time to sit down for my June forecast! Between Venus Cazimi on June 4th, New Moon in Gemini on the 6th and Jupiter’s first full Month in Gemini….we certainly had an abundance of energy. I had a full capacity of Readings during the Month of June, which typically is slower, not this year!!

June 28/29th Saturn in Pisces stationed Retrograde signifying a moment to review and reflect on our Pisces responsibilities-think emotional patterns, connections to others and our wisdom gained through experiences.Look to what House Pisces sits in your Natal Chart for clues.Saturn will be Retrograde until November 15-16th.

Looking ahead to July we slow it down a little with Neptune stationing Retrograde at the last degree of Pisces (and the Zodiac!)

 July 2-December 8th.

Neptune in Pisces has infused the last 13 years with a strong emphasis on inspiration,dreams,imagination,compassion,confusion, illusion and escapism. The creativity that came forward through social media was immense.Highlighting a flood of esoteric arts, gamers, techies, hackers, and innovative worlds. As we creep slowly to the end of that Neptune transit we can reflect on the retrograde period until Dec.8th.What dream or ideal did we have in 2011 that still rings true now? 

July 2

Mercury enters Leo-Enthusiasm, entertaining, gregarious discussions can happen when Mercury is in fire sign Leo. 

Mercury opposite Pluto Our voices definitely get a bit louder in Leo. Right away Mercury finds itself opposite to Pluto in Aquarius, creating an intensity within communications. Good day for having the courage to  speak authentically and getting some answers, be careful to not overdo it.You may find a strong opposition from someone else. It moves quickly.

July 3 Moon in Gemini conjunct Jupiter ~An auspicious day when the social talkative Moon in Gemini expands with Jupiter. Opportunities to gather with friends & family should be easy and harmonious today. Lots of communications and inutive energy. Learn something new or make new friends.

July 4-5th New Moon in Cancer

The New Moon in Cancer is all about comfort and familiar surroundings.Connecting to family or close friends feels right. Applying to Venus in Cancer this attracts good energy in line with a casual and easy vibe to the day. The Cancer Moon will Trine Saturn in Pisces adding respect and patient energy towards your daily activities with others.Neptune in Pisces will be the last stop for Cancer Moon on July 6th increasing your sensitivities, with this aspect we can merge quickly with other people’s moods.

July 9th -15th Jupiter in Gemini Trine/sextile North Node in Aries & South Node Libra.

An interesting week with the planet of Goodwill, lucky breaks and opportunities for growth makes favorable aspects to the Nodes. The Nodes can show karmic timing, a moment when things come full circle, a beginning or a closure. A significant shift can happen if closely linked to your Natal chart that sets you up for a New Chapter. Jupiter in Gemini’s influence is relational.Guiding through communication, learning,teaching, writing and offering many ideas at once.

July 11th Venus enters Leo The planet of relationships, creativity and finances enters Leo~ a generous time with affection, bold self expression, creative and confident attitudes. Venus stays in Leo until August 4th.

Enjoyment is the key theme, have some fun!

*2023 Venus in Leo was Retrograde (July-Sept) and stayed for 44 days moving back and forth through the Leo House in your chart.Memories??

July 12th Venus in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius

Immediately Venus gets a powerful signal from Pluto across the way creating intensity in love connections. Oppositions can put up obstacles or resistance from other people.The fixed signs have a particularly hard time to hear the opposite point of view or feeling.Be generous with your compassionate side on this day.Power struggles aren’t fun.Quick moving transit.

July 15th Uranus conjunct Mars in Taurus -This is intense energy, the planet Mars is assertive, and Uranus is unpredictable. Watch out for impulsiveness when it comes to taking action or doing something on a whim.Stop and think on this day.Take it slow.

July 16th Moon in Scorpio opposite Uranus & Mars Taurus.

The Moon acts as a timer in Astrology.The Moon in Scorpio is ruled by Mars in Taurus ,who is joined with Uranus -Another day to double think of any impulsive responses or acts. Moon in Scorpio is great for working independently on a research project or an activity that is immersive and intense.

July 20th Mars enters Gemini- A very mentally busy Mars, looking to get many things done at once. Can get a bit scattered, but working with others could be the best especially because Mars Trines Pluto in Aquarius the same day to create some powerful collaborations!

July 21st Full Moon in Capricorn 

The Full Moon is at the last degree of Capricorn, considered a critical degree that wants to push forward to the next sign. The Full Moon will be tightly conjoined Pluto in Aquarius which happens around 7AM EST.The Moon jumps into Aquarius the next hour to join Pluto.

We are having a number of Pluto in Aquarius connections in July-signifying the new transformative energy of change,shifts in patterns and finding a natural point of closure to old relationships or habits. A very liberating Month.

 On this Capricorn Full Moon, we want to be responsible for the next phase of building. Whatever we have been working towards since June’s 1st Capricorn Full Moon-a strong message is trying to come through-what are we completing? This will be intuitive as Neptune Pisces 29 sextiles the FM at 29 Capricorn.On the same day, Jupiter in Gemini 12 sextiles Venus in Leo 12~ This is a cooperative connection that can inspire and encourage something in a favorable way. Use it to your advantage if the energy of Pluto & Full Moon gets too intense! A dynamic day.

July 22nd Sun enters Leo

Leo season starts with a rush of intensity…..again Pluto in Aquarius opposite the Sun in Leo. The fiery Sun shines its brightest in Leo, the opposition of Pluto can just feel 

like an obstacle or detail to be dealt with Leo style. Immediately and effectively conquer it.

July 25th Mercury enters Virgo

Mercury is very efficient in Virgo. The details of all communications,plans and projects can be analyzed thoroughly in Virgo. Great period to start a house cleaning campaign or basement cleanout ect. 

July 30th Moon & Jupiter in Gemini conjoin at 14 degrees.

This conjunction at 14 degrees harkens back to June 4th when Venus Cazimi at 14 degrees Gemini. (Venus conjunct Sun) 

This Auspicious Moon/Jupiter connection can give us feedback & information on what transpired in June. 

Keywords: discussions, new connection, spontaneous,opportunity, sharing. 

 **Look at Phone pictures from June 4th for clues or check notes on Calendar.

Jupiter in Gemini 2024

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar system, It can fit 1,000 Earths inside of it!!

It is also the oldest planet formed from the dust and gases left over from the Sun’s formation 4.5 billion years ago…..Jupiter is named as the King of the planets, the equivalent of the King of the Gods or Zeus in Greek Mythology. It’s a big deal.

Tomorrow May 25th Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. Jupiter has a strong belief in expanding into new horizons, faith in life, the realization of connecting to something greater than self, opportunity and twists of fate. Travel has natural significance with Jupiter as learning from experiences and getting a fresh perspective are all benefits from getting out of the familiar. Coincidences, lucky timing and personal growth are signs that Jupiter aligned somewhere in your chart. Jupiter will stay in the sign of Gemini until June 9th 2025.

Gemini is an Air element, corresponding to the thinking type of personality-intellectual, communicative, needs mental stimulation, adaptive, busy, social, curious, inquisitive, objective, versatile, restless, nervous, articulate and distracted.

When we blend Jupiter and Gemini together we have a multi-tasking, analytical, energy equipped to refine and improve the area of our lives that this transit will be flowing through. The pace will certainly pick up after a year in Taurus-fixed earth steady growth and grounding any abundance that came your way. We now have the opportunity to shift gears mentally and open the ideas to a broader awareness of where we are headed. Jupiter in Gemini trines Pluto Rx in Aquarius immediately entering the sign which is a herald of more refinement and reform around ideas and concepts. Pluto in Aquarius is beginning the long transit of liberating ourselves, changing mental patterns, escaping traditional ways, intellectual freedom, uniqueness and originality. A transformative journey through Aquarian eyes. Be curious as to how the harmonious connection to Jupiter in Gemini may come up with some exciting new alternatives that can bring changes, improvement, success, and freedom. Jupiter can over do it with excesses and unruly behavior because of the momentum it can create. In the sign of Gemini watch for inconsistency or distractions taking you from the original plan. 

Examples of Jupiter in Gemini through the houses:

1st House-

Self, body, and appearance can benefit from upgrades and improvements.

2nd House-Finances, self-worth, and earning power get a positive boost.

3rd House-Local environment, sibling relations, communication and learning is an area of optimism and positive changes.

4th House- Home, Family, personal realm can be refined in some way beneficial to you

5th House-Creativity, children, self expression can experience more joy and recognition.

6th House-Work routines, health, habits can create better ways to function on a daily basis that encourages personal growth.

7th House-Relationships can enter our lives to enrich us and bring something beneficial from the new connection or alliance.

8thHouse-Shared Resources, inheritance, debts or loans may bring unexpected financial blessings or fortunate changes.

9th House-Higher mind, travel, psychology, beliefs and dreams can inspire a new path or journey. Gaining valuable knowledge.

10th House-Career, reputation and status will be highlighted when Jupiter reaches the top of the chart. A promotion or becoming more recognized for what you do in the world. Opportunity knocks.

11th House-Friends, groups, alliances and our dreams can merge together in unison creating abundance around like minded people. Creativity with culture.

12th House-Solitude, meditation, retreat and spirituality are the calling cards of Jupiter’s tremendous compassion. You can be of great service to those that need love and assistance.

I am looking forward to hearing from everyone throughout the year about the Jupiter in Gemini experience. Lots to talk about…..
