This week we move between two powerful thresholds. On the morning of Monday, June 15, a New Moon forms at the 24th degree of Gemini, opening a season of seed-sowing in the area of communication, learning, curiosity and new connections. Because it is the last New Moon of the Gemini season, it carries in a sense the summary of the season; which of the ideas gathered this season will turn into a real beginning now starts to take shape. At the other end of the week, on Sunday, June 21, the Sun enters Cancer, and with the summer solstice we live the longest day of the year. The Sun's entry into Cancer is an important turning point in mundane astrology; on the personal level a season begins in which attention shifts from the mind to feeling, from knowledge to bond.
Venus has moved at the start of the week from Cancer into Leo; last week's Venus-Jupiter conjunction is behind us, and Venus now takes on a more visible, prouder, warmer expression. Jupiter advances through the final degrees of Cancer, in its exaltation, and Mercury approaches it all week; their conjunction will perfect next week, but the effect that lends optimism and breadth to thought is already felt. The Mercury-Mars sextile stays near partile all week and builds a practical bridge linking the spoken word to the deed; the Mars-Jupiter sextile also strengthens from midweek and adds abundance to this bridge. Over the weekend Venus forms a trine to Saturn in Aries, and a mature, patient tone comes to relationships. After the New Moon the Moon moves in its waxing phase through Cancer, Leo and Virgo; with the First Quarter on Saturday, June 20, the first movement of the seeds that were sown begins to become visible.
