Astrology, Tarot and More

The week stars with the Balsamic Moon slipping into a lengthy void-of-course:  a double whammy! Save important launches until Thursday, when a lovely Opportunity Period sails along.  And don't forget to set your intentions on the New Moon in Cancer, on Wednesday! 

We're in the astrologically tense part of 2025.  Jupiter squares Saturn and Neptune between June 15-19, as they are building toward a near-conjunction on June 29.  It will repeat on August 1.  The Sun, as it enters Cancer this week, sets off these energies. 

Two biggest celestial events of June happen this week.  Jupiter enters Cancer, and forms its final square with Saturn - the unstable energy we've been feeling, on and off, for the past 12 months. 

This week starts on a disjointed note, but the energies drastically improve by Wednesday, when Venus makes an auspicious sextile to Jupiter, and a long and beneficial Opportunity Period forms.  Great for love, finances, networking, social and professional events, and beauty-related projects! 

This week brings the New Moon in Gemini, a powerful Mercury-Pluto trine (charge a turquoise ring or necklace, to express yourself authentically and with power), and lots of great energy to connect with family and friends! 

Get your projects over the finish line through the week.  Make Wednesday or Thursday your date night.   Do something that recharges your energy on the weekend.  Friday and Saturday are two excellent days to review your list of commitments and say "no" to anything you can't comfortably fit into your schedule.   

AND! Saturn enters Aries this week, and the powerful energy shift of 2025 continues.  And the Sun enters Gemini.  Happy Birthday to my Gemini readers! 

The Full Moon in Scorpio steals the show this week.  It's a fantastic Full Moon to release compulsive behaviors, guilt, jealousy, resentment - and to work on reducing debts.  Affirm with me:  "I have the power to transform my life" 💪🏼✨

Mercury is not a happy camper this week though.  It forms a tense T-Square with Pluto and Mars: the week can get bookended with disagreements and power games.... Read this post for my full forecast for the week ahead. 

This week brings something for everyone! Negotiations, contracts, love and romance, health, relationships... every day of this week brings auspicious energies in at least one area! 

But - and this is a bummer - the weekend brings some grouchy energies.  Considering it's Mother's Day in the USA and Canada, be aware that small angry outbursts are possible, so pay attention to your triggers and do your best to make the day as easy on everyone as possible. 

After last week's challenging Pluto connections, this week brings upbeat, social energies - and one of the best days of the year for love and romance.

This is the most challenging week of the month.  Pluto takes center stage, with a volatile Sun-Pluto square and Mars-Pluto opposition.  This screams power struggles.  Tap into the energy of the Balsamic Moon instead: clear old energy, and get ready to usher in abundance and prosperity on the New Moon in Taurus! 

All the planets are now direct! Mars and Mercury move into fire signs this week, adding to the high energy-vibes of this week.  It's a great week for creative writers! And, Tuesday is the best day for romance (Pacific to Eastern time). 

Mercury AND Venus come out of retrograde this week! Hallelujah!   But, the highlight of this week is a very healing Full Moon in Libra, opposite Chiron.  Heal those old romantic wounds,  Release self-limiting beliefs.   Work with rose quartz + tourmaline/black obsidian + selenite, to promote deep healing.
