Cosmic Insights – June 17, 2024 June 16, 2024

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of June 17, 2024, begins with the Sun rising in carefree Gemini, illuminating an opportunity to experience new perceptions arising from larger realities.  Hours before the Sun rises, Mercury the CEO of Gemini takes on a new persona as it dips into the shallow pond of emotional Cancer.  As Mercury shifts into sensitive Cancer, communication takes on a different mode of expression as feelings impact the delivery of information about family, nurturing, comfort, and caring.  

Venus also changed signs in the early hours of July 17, as it waded into vulnerable, touchy-feely Cancer, followed by the Moon in secretive, subconscious Scorpio, and Mercury in Gemini squaring Neptune in Pisces.  

As planetary changes occur before the Sun rises, a restless night may be in store as powerful dreams bring forth subconscious information that challenges your thoughts and feelings about hopes, wishes, and dreams.  If it feels like you awaken in a different state of consciousness, you likely have.  

While the Sun in Gemini is light-hearted and motivated by curiosity and fun, Mercury and Venus in Cancer need to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for.  Thus, an uncomfortable feeling may permeate the atmosphere for a few days, as the Sun may distance itself from taking care of the needs of others.

Shortly after Venus arrives in Cancer, the Moon submerges in emotionally intense Scorpio under a cover of darkness to either release the negative emotions and limiting decisions as a means of transformation, or project them onto others which meets with actional resistance.  Thus, the next few days are a significant window of opportunity to take responsibility for one’s emotional state as cosmic feedback is needed for life-changing choices to experience a greater quality of life.  The key is to be gentle with oneself and others as the mental atmosphere shifts to an emotional one.

Before the work day begins, Mercury and Venus also unite in Cancer behind the scenes to mark an unconscious turning point to let go of old ways, habits, and others that are incongruent with the new direction that conscious choices are being made to take an emotional leap of faith without knowing the outcome!  Information and values that are emotionally triggered now are a clue to the leap of faith and unknowable outcomes that will unfold during the next forty-eight days.

On the midmorning of June 19, the lunar landscape shifts significantly as the Moon bungee jumps into Sagittarius with a desire for new adventures and emotional relief from the past few days.  Thus, it initially engages Pluto retrograde in Aquarius to book a flight to an unknown destination, before Jupiter in Gemini throws a monkey wrench into the plans!  Yet, the Moon in Sagittarius feels like it needs a break so it may make a deal with Jupiter to take a quick trip instead of an extended one!  As the Moon in Sag and Pluto retrograde in Gemini are in a yod formation with the Sun in late Gemini, and Mercury and Venus in Cancer, it is wise to give the Moon in Sagittarius some room to roam so they will come back home!

On the afternoon of June 20, the Sun in Gemini has a challenging encounter with Neptune in Pisces as it shares information and advice to take actions based on emotions without knowing the outcome to manifest dreams into reality!

Shortly after, the Sun moves into Cancer as it reaches the highest point of elevation in the sky to proclaim the Summer Solstice.  The word solstice means “sun standing still” before it begins its descent, symbolizing a time to pause and determine a course of action based on the information gathered during the recent forty-five days relevant to the intentions seeded at the Spring Equinox.  From the perspective of the solar cycle, this is the first quarter phase where one separates from the whole to seek individuality.  It is the time to step out and achieve without the support of others to achieve what you desire.  It is also a time of taking actions based on emotional feelings without knowing the outcome!

Mars is the planet of action and is moving slowly through Taurus, so actions need to be tempered with patience, which can frustrate Mars!  However, now is not the time to push the envelope or agendas, as Mars in Taurus may dig in its heels and refuse to comply or cooperate!

On the evening of June 21, the Moon moves into earthy Capricorn to begin to climb an emotional mountain of feelings with authoritative dignity to balance out the emotional energy of three planets in Cancer with a reminder that it is the responsibility of Cancer to care for itself instead of expecting others to.  

Shortly after, a full lunar phase occurs as the Moon in Capricorn opposes the Sun in Capricorn to illuminate the cooperation needed to balance the financial and emotional aspects of security vs insecurity issues that were highlighted at the lunar eclipse in March of 2024 between the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra, with responsible actions wrapped in a leap of faith!
