Big(ish) Event Number One
Firstly, there’s a Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 4. It falls at 14 degrees-14 minutes of Sagittarius and Gemini. If you have planets or points at 13-15 degrees of the mutable signs - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces - this Eclipse will touch your chart.
You can get your chart for free at http://www.astro.com/ or http://www.alabe.com/ and also see my article Working with Eclipses for tips on how to interpret Eclipses.
Big Event Number Two
June 5/6 brings a rare transit, when Venus, planet of love, money and values, passes directly between the Sun and the Earth and is visible as a small dark disk passing across the Sun’s face.
Significantly, Venus falls in the same degree as the Eclipse the day before, 15 degrees-44 minutes of Gemini, so if you have 15 degrees of the mutable signs highlighted in your chart, this is an event well worth following.
But what is a Transit of Venus exactly? What does it mean? The links below should help...

June 24 sees the first exact square of Uranus in Aries to Pluto in Capricorn. On the big picture level, this aspect has been playing out a while, but now it’s exact it will reach its highest intensity, with six further exact squares coming September 2012 through March 2015.
Here’s what it signifies, in a nutshell:
Since 2007 an exciting, powerful and incredibly disruptive planetary alignment has been forming. Rebellious Uranus has been squaring up to Pluto in Capricorn. Uranus’ energies have been compared to those of the mythical Prometheus, who stole the fire from the gods and gave it to man. Combined with Pluto, Uranus ignites revolutionary impulses and upsets the status quo. This planetary combination has been associated with mass rebellion against the establishment, revolutions, civil rights movements and radical social and political change.
The above is from Uranus-Pluto and Our Changing World. The article includes a fascinating look back at historical Uranus-Pluto alignments. Read more here....
How are Astroair’s 2012 predictions playing out? Find out here...
Over the next three years the Uranus-Pluto squares occur between 6 and 15 degrees of Aries and Capricorn, so if these degrees are highlighted in your chart (and also 6-15 degrees of Cancer and Libra), then these squares will form a significant transit to your chart. A time of change is on the horizon for you, that's for sure.

Thank you for an 0- as always - insightful and easy-to-understand post. More than any other astrologer I follow, you have a way of explaining even the most difficult concepts in the easiest-to-understand language which I always enjoy and appreciate hugely.
ReplyDeleteAs for all the above, the eclipse is *exactly* conjunct my Sag Venus, the Venus transit is opposite my Venus and conjunct my partner's sun. The Uranus-Pluto squares are hanging over my Cappy Saturn, POF, Mercury and Ceres. I suppose I should be expecting something from all of this, but what?! I've moaned enough that my life has ground to a dreary halt, but not all change is good. I don't know whether to hang out the bunting or start digging a very deep hole to hide in.
But thanks anyway for the heads up. ;)
Hi Gilly, thank you very much for the kind and generous comment.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best for your transit. Venus in Sag is surely a optimist so go ahead hang out that bunting but maybe dig that hole too, just in case (says the Gemini ASC, NN and Jupiter, hedging my bets.
Love Mandi x
The Venus transit falls on my birthday. Conjunct my Sun within 0.02 in the first house also conjunct my Ascendant. Any ideas???
ReplyDeleteIt seems that this month has a lot of BIG astrological events. June 24 is coming up! Another exciting astrology report.
