Astrological Influences in June

Solar Eclipse and Mars Transition

On June 21 at 9:41 AM, there will be an annular Solar Eclipse in Mrigashira. This is an unsuitable time for material affairs, especially new ventures, as efforts to improve material conditions are likely to have negative outcomes. However, it is a favorable time for spiritual practices and self-education. On June 18, Mars will transition from Aquarius to Pisces, fostering a desire for peace and quiet, making it a good time for reflection and introspection, with intuition playing a significant role.

Jupiter and Venus Influences

Jupiter will remain in its debilitated sign until June 30, after which it will return to its own sign, Sagittarius. During its stay in Capricorn, it is especially important to act conscientiously, uphold moral laws, and show increased responsibility for any actions. Sagittarius will bring optimism and hope for the future, offering opportunities for advancement. Venus remains in Taurus, drawing our attention to material values, comfort, and stability in relationships. Venus will be combust from May 31 to June 7, leading to laziness, a sense of disharmony, reduced creativity, and painful desires for luxury.

Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu

Saturn continues its movement through Capricorn, Rahu through Gemini, and Ketu through Sagittarius. Critical influences on planets involve the conjunction of important planets with unfavorable ones within 10 degrees (through aspects or presence in the same house or life sphere). Retrograde Jupiter and Saturn will be in close conjunction, causing delays in matters. Retrograde Mercury will be adjacent to Rahu, and from June 15, the Sun will join, with Mars creating additional tension from June 18. Pay attention to communication, thoughts, and actions.

Recommendations

Unfavorable Time for New Beginnings

The entire month is not suitable for new ventures due to the factors described above. Especially avoid actions around the eclipse dates (June 5 and 21, plus avoid taking action 7 days before and after these dates).

Favorable Time for Reflection

If something needs to be done, be aware that the outcome might be delayed or not meet expectations. Focus on introspection and organizing your affairs.

By understanding and harnessing the energy of the Strawberry Full Moon, you can make significant progress in your personal and professional life.
