2016-06 W23: Forecasts for Week 23 of 2016

May 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 23 (W23)

Everything this week is about love or money.  You can pick one or the other, and in some cases you can have both.  In order to have either, you must clean house and shed old baggage this week.

Sunday May 29th

Planets have either moved out of Taurus or soon will, Moon and Sun have made a powerful statement regarding Sagittarius / Gemini issues, and retrograde planets are beginning to move forward.  School is out (for most students), summer is here, and May (and Taurus) is nearly “over” (until next year).  The “Mutable T” we have been discussing is highly activated today with Moon joining Neptune in the morning.

Secrets have been revealed, and we must process what we have learned.  We do have a danger of…

… backwards.

So, Mars arrives back in Scorpio only this time from 29 59, because it is retrograde, and i have to tell you i don’t like retrograde planets, well i don’t like them when they are in bad places of your natal chart, and in the past few weeks Mars has been in Sagittarius doing his thing, but it has been the stuff of nightmares for me, constant burning headaches and extended flu symptoms, it retrograded past my 12th house cusp and it is only ‘now’ the further it got away from the cusp that my ills have slowly faded-away, and it is now far enough away to be said to be in my 11th house, and hopefully when it goes ‘direct’ in Sagittarius i hope my ills won’t return, but if they do then it is doubtful it will be with the force of the malefic retrograde ‘affects’.

It’s been said it’s the mother of all virtues and the hardest of all, patience. And also that all good things come to those who wait. Sometimes, it’s so so hard, when time seems to stand still and all you want to do is shake the dust and move on.

Moon in the sign Aquarius that naturally wants to be free to move, is now friendly with Saturn that most definitely feels stuck, torn in the always-on-the-move Sagittarius. Should I say or should I go? is the question of the day.

The two, Moon and Saturn are communicating, that’s the good news. Patience is flowing, it’s an opportunity to make it a harmonious day. Who knows, maybe one day that kid in today’s picture above will actually turn the page and scare the pants off all of us! Sometimes, things move miraculously when you least expect them to, even stone…

JUNE ASTRO FORECAST 2016

By =Lorna Anne

We begin the month of June with a lot of Piscean energy, and it will endure throughout the month due to Neptune’s (ruler of Pisces) slow-moving dance with Saturn. We met this pair back in November 2015 (see Nov Astro Forecast 2015), but now the interaction of these two planets has shifted. Rather than a choice of either/or, negating one for the other, we must honor both and find the balancing act. We must make a win/win situation in all our choices, using compromise and resolving the paradox. In May (see May Astro Forecast 2016) this process began, but the exact aspect happens this month on the 17^th. These outer planets reflect both personal and collective consciousness.

There is a strong religious/ethical/philosophical influence that will tend to put protocol before feelings. For example, we could have “should pictures” about what is…

A very significant alignment in this FULL MOON to NEW MOON phase is the 3^rd of 3 Squares between JUPITER and SATURN.

# 1 was on Aug 3, 2015 (with JUPITER still in LEO, and while SATURN – still in SCO – was stationary / moving very slowly from Earth perspective / going from retro to direct).

# 2was on March 23, 2016, not far from the positions of SATURN and JUPITER now, just 3 days before SATURN turned from direct to retro (its current ‘gear’).

In other words, the whole phase since last Summer until end of Spring (in a narrow, exact sense), and even 2015 and 2016 altogether, have been under the JUPITER square SATURN influence.

On a personal-spiritual level, we can check in where we create obstacles (SATURN) through the way how we SEE (SAG) and perhaps judge ourselves and the world, and…

Uranus moves to 23 degrees Aries (tropical zodiac).  Check your chart for energy at the 23rd degree for a heads up on the areas of your life that are changing.  Be flexible there.

A good time to: give a presentation, especially if it’s regarding something you are completely confident about and has your total acceptance.

Challenges: A calm feeling that you are so solid and powerful that you shouldn’t have to bore yourself with compromises. Depending on the situation this could be bad, or good.

Balance: Compare your present limitations to those from the past.  Consider asking advice from a trusted friend or a vetted resource. Remember, this underlying feeling of strength will most likely pass quickly so make sure you have your citations handy for the future.

With Jupiter currently square Saturn in exact alignment at present, and within a degree of opposition to Neptune, we have a mutable T-square forcing our hand now, obliging us to make moral judgement calls and confront our ethical or philosophical standpoint.

I have spoken about this in a previous article, but a further development this week sees the Sun gradually coming into alignment with the above three planets in what will be by the beginning of June 2016 a perfect Mutable Grand Cross, or Grand Square if you prefer, as all four planets align to be 90 degrees apart from each other, thus squaring the zodiac circle. During that first week in June, Venus will also align in exact conjunction with the Sun and thus provide a fifth planet for the Grand Square in mutable signs.

As Jupiter opposes Neptune and Sun/Venus oppose Saturn, the tension and resonance between the…
