Astrology Forecast for June 23-29, 2025

Note:  the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.  

Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours in advance of the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).  They will be gaining in strength as they approach the date.  We will also feel them for 24-48 hours after, but they will be losing strength with each passing hour.

Big Energies At Play This Week: 

This week, Saturn and Neptune come together in a near-conjunction in Aries, the first one out of three.

It happens on June 29.  It's not an exact conjunction just yet.  Saturn and Neptune will be half a degree away from one another, straddling 1-2° Aries.  But, for all intents and purposes, we will feel this major energy of creation, of a massive, generational shift. It will stay with us all the way into 2026.  

Because it's happening in Aries, it comes with "baptism by fire", so things might be off to a rocky start, in the global affairs, or in your personal life, if you have planets or angles (Ascendant, Descendant, MC or IC) between:

• 27° Pisces - 4° Aries
• 27° Gemini - 4° Cancer
• 27° Virgo - 4° Libra
• 27° Sagittarius - 4° Capricorn

If this is you, this is a good year to schedule an astrology reading. 

And, if your birthday falls between June 18 - June 28, my oh my!  You'll have some big energies locked in your Solar Return chart, colouring your 12 months ahead.  This is a good year to get a Solar Return reading.

This Week: Executive Summary 😉

The Moon is Balsamic at the start of the week, PLUS, it slips into a lengthy void-of-course on June 23-24 (Pacific to Eastern Time).  It's an inauspicious time for new beginnings.  Wrap up projects already in progress; declutter; recharge.  You can't reach for the stars if your hands are full of yesterday's clutter, as they say! 

And get ready for the optimistic energy of the New Moon on June 25 at 3:32 a.m. PDT! It's a fantastic New Moon to ask the Universe for a successful home purchase, at the price that is right for you; for a happy family life and - for those who need to - help with starting a family.  

Even with all the tussle between the Sun, Jupiter, Neptune and Saturn. the annual Sun-Jupiter conjunction on June 24 is still a great day to charge a citrine for abundance and luck.

Mercury enters showy Leo this week. It's going to stay in Leo for a while, because - I hate to break it to you! - it will be retrograde between July 17- August 11,  There is still time before that happens though, including a lovely Opportunity Period this week! 

The week ends with a challenging Mercury-Pluto opposition.  Communication can go off the rails and lead to power games.  Save important conversations for another day.

If You're Working with the Lunar Cycle for Manifestation... 

The week starts with the Balsamic Moon.  Try to create some spaciousness in your life!  By getting rid of physical, emotional and mental clutter, you're creating energetic space to welcome the energy of new beginnings.  

And then, don't forget to set your intentions on the New Moon in Cancer! 

And here are the main astro-happenings of this week:

✨   June 22, 3:22 a.m. to June 25, 3:22 a.m. PDT:  Balsamic Moon

An inauspicious time for new, bold beginnings.  Try to get an extra hour of sleep and recharge instead.  And if you can't sit still, declutter! Free up some energetic space for new beginnings in your life, and set your intentions on the upcoming New Moon. 

Here is one idea:  Spend one hour cleaning out or turning off unnecessary digital distractions, including: 

• Text messaging
• Notifications and alerts
• Time-wasting internet sites or apps
• Unnecessary emails

Set a recurrent appointment in your calendar, for the next Balsamic Moon, for a further monthly review and digital decluttering.

Plus, the Moon slips into an unusually long void of course as of June 23, 1:26 a.m. PDT.  It will last until June 24, 8:44 p.m. PDT, consuming two business days if you're in the Pacific to Eastern time zones.  

A double whammy.  Save the kick-off of that important new project for another day. 

✨  June 23:  the Sun square Neptune

A low energy day.  Sensitivity to drugs (including prescription drugs) and alcohol is heightened.  Don't overdo!  If your birthday is between June 20-26, the upcoming 12 months can bring lack of clarity, being too open to other people's energy (if you're an empath, this year may be particularly challenging), and - sometimes - dealing with deceit. 

✨  June 24:  the Sun conjunct Jupiter
