The Sun will enter Cancer on June 20, the day of summer solstice, signifying the beginning of Cancer Season. This will be the same day that the Annular solar eclipse (karmic new moon) comes into alignment, making this an awkward time to start new projects like you typically would during a new moon. Instead, focus your time on reflecting and directing your intentions toward your home, family, and deepest emotions. Cancer Season is deeply healing, sensitive, and intuitive; it will spark your inner-need to protect yourself and your loved ones, and to explore the foundations of your happiness.
Cancer Stellium
On 22nd June, we’ll be under the intense and illuminating energy of a Cancer Stellium with the Sun at 1°46’, the Moon at 19°51′ and Mercury at 14°. The Moon and Mercury are within 5.8° of each other, creating a conjunction, and the Moon is in a strong trine with Mercury within 1.2°. These energies are quite similar in the sense that they collectively increase our awareness and heighten our sensitivity. They’re harmonic and will work well together to soothe our souls on this day.

Neptune Stations Retrograde
Neptune will station retrograde on 23rd June at 5:32 am GMT at 20°58′ Pisces and will end on 28th November at 18°10. With Neptune being an outer planet, her retrograde won’t be as impactful as personal planet retrogrades. Despite this, the upcoming five months of Neptune’s retrograde will be a reality check. Our rose-tinted glasses and hazy visions will be stripped away, revealing a bare, and very harsh reality. All that we have tried to sweep under the carpet or tried to sugar coat will be revealed. But don’t see this as a bad thing! The theme of this transit is owning our truth and loving and respecting ourselves enough to address our triggers, pain and problems with an open heart. Read More
Venus Stations Retrograde
Venus will be in her retroshade period until 28th July when she retuns to her starting point at 21°50′ Gemini. Now that her retrograde is over, surrounding energies will return to it’s playfulness and lightheartedness. We will be reinvigorated with a greater sense of clarity that will aid us in moving forwards with an open and accepting heart, and a plan to incorporate pleasures into our daily routine. We’ll be tasked with creating a new ‘normal’ moving forwards. Read More
Mars Enters Aries
Mars will return home at 0°00’ aries on 28th june (2:45 GMT) causing a shift in our motivation. We’re pushing forwards against all opposing forces with vigour and perhaps aggression. Mars will transit Aries for a prolonged six months due to his retrograde occurring on 9th September at 28°09′ Aries. Under his influence, we will be particularly impatient with a keen and passionate focus. Our visions will turn into plans and our plans into actions. Read More
Mars Sextile Saturn
Mars will Sextile Saturn on 29th June with both planets at 0° of their domicile positioning and there for functioning in their rawest, truest forms. Both planets are pushing each other to reach their fullest potential. With this aspect, our endurance and self-discipline will harmonize, allowing us to seek new opportunities with passion and determination. This is a great formula for success and growth. Read More
Lunar Eclipse
On July 5th at approximately 5:30am GMT we’ll experience a Full ‘Buck’ Moon Lunar Eclipse at 13°37’ Capricorn. This will be a deeply impactful celestial event occurring on the Cancer-Capricorn axis at the excitable adventurous and self-involved 13°. We should utilising the luminous transiting energies to improve ourselves and re-align with our purpose, responsibilities and ambitions. Read More
Mercury Square Mars
Our self perceptions will be challenged under the square between Mars and Mercury (who will be in retrograde). Mars in Aries is sharp, self interested and won’t allow any space for obtuseness, dishonesty or attacks towards our egos. This is a tense aspect as Mars challenges Mercury who will be highly critical, emotional and unrealistic with its expectations. We’ll be putting an immense amount of pressure on ourselves which will manifest as defensiveness when we’re faced with reality. Read More
Chiron Stations Retrograde
What will perhaps be the most transformative retrograde of the year will occur on 11th July when Chiron stations retrograde at 9°26’ Aries. His retrograde will last until December 15th, where he will station direct at 4°56’ Aries. This will not be an easy transit. There will be a painful resurfacing and reopening of old wounds and revelations of toxic patterns. But this isn’t something to be fearful of. If you’ve already been actively using this years retrogrades to take conscious steps forth on your healing journey, Chiron’s retrograde won’t be as much of an abrupt change in reality for you. Read More
Mercury Stations Direct
Coming out of Mercury’s retrograde, our minds and communication will be a lot clearer and back on track. The most important thing we can do is take ownership of the things we do and the mistakes that we make. We no longer have a backwards transiting and disruptive planet to blame for what’s going wrong in our lives. We can no longer blame lack of awareness as we had a month to conduct deep, internal reflection of the self. What new foundations and boundaries do you need to set for yourself? Read More
Sun Opposition Pluto
When the Cancerian Sun forms an opposition with Pluto in Capricorn, we will embrace both the light and shadows as patterns of our self-destructive behaviours are put in the spotlight. We will be urged under this transit to work with our shadow selves in order to heal and renew our self awareness. Depending on how we choose to utilise these energies, this transit could either manifest as an empowering moment of self healing or an increase in internal conflicts and external crises. The power is in your hands. Read More
New Moon In Cancer
On 20th July we will experience the second New Moon in Cancer of the year. Despite this one not being a Solar Eclipse like the last, this New Moon will still be an influential event. The Cancerian New Moon will be in opposition to transiting Saturn in Capricorn, reflecting restrictions, emotional hardships and limitations. New Moon’s typically offer the opportunity for a fresh start. However, this one will not be a second chance but rather a struggle to express ourselves which may manifest as frustrations, loss of patience or maybe a boost in determination. You decide!
