Zoom Presentation on the
Summer Solstice Astrology Forecast
hosted by East West Bookshop $30.00
We are on the verge of one of the most powerful months of the year with July bringing Jupiter moving from Cancer (water, yin) to Leo (fire, yang). This will inflate the urge for the ego’s creative expression and is the sign of rock stars, kings, and champions. Jupiter (lord or the higher realms) exactly opposite Pluto (lord of the underworld) will be in a dynamic push-pull of light and dark forces—whatever comes from this, it will be BIG.
We will explore the astrological patterns for the remainder of this year and into the next with a focus of how we can best align with the rapidly changing energy of these times. Suitable for all levels.

This week’s astrology forecast:
June 1st – 7th
Message for the week:
June may very well be the calm before the storm, with July becoming one of the most powerful, dynamic, dramatic periods of the year. June starts with Mercury moving into Cancer for an extended stay, due to an upcoming retrograde period, where it will be joining Venus and Jupiter, the two benefic planets. Mercury is your everyday mind and what you tend to think about. With the strong Cancer influence, thoughts turn towards the personal side of life and what you need to feel secure and nurtured in your home, house and family. Nesting instincts will be strong with more attention given to making your dwelling a safe and comfortable refuge from the world.
Cancer is the Nurturer and cares for the people, plants, pets, gardens in their lives but needs to take time for self-care and nurturing as well. Pamper yourself a bit this week.
The only challenging aspect during this otherwise smooth and softer week is that Mercury will be square to Neptune on Wednesday. This creates a “reality distortion" field and makes it difficult to know what is true or not true. This can also lead to absent-mindedness and just spacing out, so not the best time to schedule tasks that take focused attention to detail. This is also not the best time for making important decisions without compensating for the potential blind spot.
All in all, a smooth week that will invoke greater empathy and compassion for others. A quote by Tom Robbins on his grave marker says it well, “Joy, in spite of everything!”
Monday: Mercury enters Cancer, time to pay as much attention to what “feels” right as what “thinks” right. The Moon starts the day in enthusiastic Sagittarius creating an upbeat vibe and then moves into more serious-minded Capricorn this evening. Try not to let logic stand in the way of empathetically understanding another person’s feelings with the Moon opposite Mercury tonight.
Tuesday: This could be a great day to pitch a new idea to the boss with the Sun in a favorable sextile to “the boss” Saturn, bringing confidence in bringing your best foot forward. The Moon in “take another step up the mountain” Capricorn will add to the achievement mood of the day, and being trine to energetic Mars, will give you plenty of go power to accomplish your goals. You will probably feel like you have spent your fuel and are ready to crash this evening when the Moon squares restrictive Saturn .
Wednesday: Mercury is square daydreamy Neptune today, creating confusion and mental fog—not best for tasks requiring attention to detail. A day of delightful distractions and favorable disruptions to your plans. The Moon in productive Capricorn is in the Mood for getting to work but being opposite Venus in the early morning and opposite Jupiter tonight, delightful and enjoyable opportunities pull you away from being as productive as you planned.
Thursday: A high-flying day to let your mind soar with the Moon entering idealistic Aquarius this morning in a supportive trine to future-seeing Uranus. The Moon is inspired by a stimulating sextile to visionary Neptune and then conjunct compelling Pluto in the late afternoon. Stay open to your highest ideals and then go all in towards what you are most compelled to do.
Friday: A smooth and socially active day with the Moon in friendship-oriented Aquarius sextile to “taking care of business” Saturn. There can be some annoyance in the morning, like a traffic jam…but harmony prevails as the Moon moves into a supportive sextile to the energizing Sun by midday.
Saturday: There are no aspects today so pretty much a “do what ever you want to do” day. The Moon is in highly independent Aquarius for most of the daytime, enjoying the freedom of having no pressures. The Moon moves into “go with the flow” Pisces this evening, adding to the peaceful, easy feeling of the day.
Sunday: Another peaceful easy-going day with the Moon in emotionally sensitive Pisces trine to Mercury in Cancer—good for deep, meaningful conversations with family and close friends. The Moon is in a stimulating sextile to energizing Mars tonight, giving you plenty of energy late into the day.
May the stars be with you!
