Weekly Weather
June 10-16, 2024
Feeling a little out of sorts? Or as if someone has a bee in their bonnet? That’s how the week starts with Mars and Pluto in square (argumentative). This can be a tenser time that usual, and everyone is a bit cranky, but it can also give you incredible focus to get a job done.
Pluto, the planet of power struggles has both a low and a high side. We can turn into a monster, wielding our ego-like a sword, and bashing others over the head with our control issues. OR we can use this power to look inside, to get honest about what we need to do, and then dig in to create a transformation that seemed impossible before. Pluto can help you to be the wizard of your life, creating massive change and growth just like magic! The question is, which will you choose?
On Friday, the Universe gives us a little gift. We have a Mercury cazimi coming in, when Mercury arrives at the same degree as the Sun. When Mercury is walking alongside the Sun it gives your mental processes a boost, or you get an instant ah-ha, or an epiphany about something you need to know. Maybe the hardships experienced at the start of the week were triggering and become a catalyst for the new thing about to arrive. Watch where the brainstorms and downloads are swirling around your head toward the end of the week. Take note of them and write them down so you’ll remember!
The weekend has a really lovely energy that will be so welcome after a volatile week. Venus squares Neptune bringing a romantic, ethereal, pleasure-seeking quality to the weekend. Notice where you want to relax, indulge, and just have a little fun. You may be looking for a chance to unwind and kick off your shoes. This is the energy built for it, so enjoy this little respite after such a difficult week. Take a break, do something fun, and enjoy the longer days of summer sun. Create a magical environment that supports your inner wizard!
On Sunday Venus will then slide into Cancer (a water sign), where she becomes much more aware of her feelings, and more in tune with others. And you will too. You may notice wanting to connect with family, or friends who feel like family. Attachment, caring for others, hosting get-togethers, and inviting your peeps to your home will be more likely when Venus is in Cancer. You may also have the urge to update your space, bringing in elements of comfort and relaxation. Think pillows, blankets, plant helpers, and other aesthetic elements that feel good. Cancer wants to feel cozy and comfy so that she can unwind and rest. You may feel this too! Be sure to let yourself sleep in on Sunday if you get the chance!
Your Horoscopes
And here’s what’s happening for your zodiac sign:
Wherever you are, find your flow with your horoscope for the week. You can use your Ascendant or Sun Sign to start, but check in with your Mars, Venus, or Moon sign – as they too may offer additional clues that can be helpful to you.
Aries
Conversations and communication may feel stressful for you at the top of the week. Choose to hold your tongue if you don’t want a fight on your hands. Taking some time alone might feel rejuvenating right now. By the end of the week notice how you can be a bit dreamy and idealistic about your relationships and financial matters. Be cautious of illusions and ensure you’re seeing things clearly. Double-check any agreements and avoid making significant financial commitments right now. Focus on creative projects where your imagination can shine.
Taurus
Taurus, you might feel like you’ve lost your foot hold this week at work or in the public sphere. Don’t worry, it’s a minor setback and you will regain your esteem soon. You may also notice some confusion or idealization in your personal relationships and friend groups. You might feel a strong desire for romance and fantasy, but be aware of potential misunderstandings. It’s important to keep your feet on the ground and not get swept away by unrealistic expectations right now, especially with money and financial commitments. Don’t get roped into grandiose plans or expenses that could cost you a lot later.
Gemini
You may learn something this week that shakes your belief system or is a catalyst to move in a new direction. Take some quiet time and think about what you really want. You may find yourself drawn to escapism through dreams, media, or daydreams. This is a good way to decompress and can be very fruitful for you now. In the outer world, be wary of deception or misunderstandings, especially in your work environment. There is trouble afoot. Stay grounded, alert, and ensure you’re communicating clearly with those around you.
Cancer
Cancer, the beginning of the week may be harder than the end. Avoid difficult people, especially the bossing, controlling type. Take time to process your feelings. You may have a heightened sense of romance and an idealistic nature that others aren’t reciprocating just yet. Be patient. You may feel especially compassionate and empathetic but be careful of seeing what you want to see rather than what is. It’s a great time for artistic pursuits, solo adventures, and learning something new.
Leo
There is warlike energy coming through in your relationships right now Leo. Watching from the sidelines feels alien but might be just the right medicine. Instead, dive into a difficult or lengthy project you can pour yourself into. Your intensity and focus can make you unstoppable and extremely productive. You might feel a strong desire for luxury and escapism. While indulging a little is fine, be mindful of your spending and avoid making major financial decisions. In relationships, be wary of seeing your partner through rose-colored glasses. Clarity and realism are your best allies now.
Virgo
Stick close to your usual routines and maintain healthful practices this week. You may have learned a new tip, trick, or remedy that you want to try, but this isn’t the time. Wait a bit. You may feel more sensitive and compassionate than usual, and this can help you in the professional realm, particularly in closer associations. Be careful of idealizing others and ensure you’re not ignoring red flags. It’s a good time for collaborative work but keep a practical mindset and you’ll get a lot accomplished while also earning respect and admiration from others.
Libra
Being open-minded, and good listening skills are important, as conflict in intimate relationships are possible this week. Your natural inclination towards harmony and beauty is amplified, but it can also lead to unrealistic expectations, or potential push/pull energy with others. Be cautious of speaking your truth, if others aren’t receptive to hearing your dream. The end of the week is better. The weekend is a perfect time to explore artistic activities, enjoy a romantic escape, or to put that dream in place, just be sure to keep one foot on the ground.
Scorpio
Scorpio, you may experience heightened intuition and sensitivity, but also the potential for misunderstandings in relationships. Staying close to home this week can help you avoid situations you’d rather not engage in. Avoid making major financial decisions or commitments now. Focus on introspection and creative projects that allow you to channel your deep emotions constructively. Spending time with children or in youthful games and activities can be rejuvenating.
Sagittarius
This week you might feel an urge to escape work or routines and explore new fantasies or dreams. It’s a good idea to keep your journeys local and smaller than normal right now. It’s also helpful to think about how to use your work and routines to build toward something you want later. Pace yourself and be cautious of unrealistic expectations, particularly in love and money matters. Stay grounded and ensure you’re not overlooking important details. Listen to what others have to say and think before you speak to support effective communication.
Capricorn
Have you spent too much time and energy on fun and games, or creative endeavors recently? This is the week to get things in check. Be extra cautious with financial decisions and avoid over-idealizing situations. Blurred boundaries can create a sense of confusion in your professional and personal relationships. It may be time to say “no” or “not right now”. Use this time to engage in routines, hobbies, and work that allows you to feel productive and fruitful. Success is in the details.
Aquarius
Your autonomy and sense of self, juxtaposed against the needs of others, i.e. home and family, may be at odds right now. Try to stay as neutral as possible and ask more questions than giving answers. As the week wanes, you might feel a stronger connection to your individuality and creative projects, as well as relaxing for bit of fun. But it’s important to stay grounded. Be wary of over-indulgences, extra expenses, and committing to future spending. Try to stay in the present tense, embracing the now and enjoying simple pleasures.
Pisces
Pisces, this transit can amplify your natural sensitivity and intuition, but also your tendency towards escapism. Be careful of misunderstandings or idealizing others too much. Also listen to the message behind the words, as there may be much that has been left unsaid. Channel your energies into creative projects or spiritual pursuits where your imagination can flourish without leading to disappointment. Staying close to home base, and places where you feel most supported is smart move for you this week.
