June 2025 Newsletter
The emphasis shifts this month from the intellectual and curious energy of Gemini to the more feeling and security conscious energy of Cancer as a number of planets – Jupiter included – move into this sign.

Jupiter to Cancer: June 10
Jupiter’s cycle around the horoscope takes close to 12 years, roughly one year per sign, and this year it changes sign on June 10 when it moves into the sign of Cancer.
Jupiter’s transit through Cancer over the next 12 or so months will highlight – and magnify – all things associated with this sign. As Jupiter represents the Principle of Growth and Expansion, this can play out productively or excessively.
The Cancer archetype is quite different to curious and intellectual Gemini and this transit will highlight the feeling function and our tribal need for a sense of connection and belonging. Home, family and emotional security will all be in the spotlight as we all focus on what ‘family’ means for us. Some of us may feel the need to ‘nest’ and perhaps retreat from the world to experience the safety of family. Many of us may feel the need to create more secure bonds with family and friends and to focus on our personal well being.
As Cancer is associated with the need to nurture, our thoughts may shift to the needs of those who depend on us, especially our children and our parents. Cancer can bring our Ancestors into focus, and this may play out as looking at our genealogy or spending more time with grandparents. Self-care could become a priority if we feel the need to find ways to nurture ourselves. For others this may be a time where we feel the need to renovate or extend the family home.
Cancer is a very creative and poetic sign and planets in Cancer often communicate through our dreams, feelings and imagination. This could be the time to attend to your inner world and pay attention to your urges to express yourself creatively, in whatever form appeals to you.
Collectively this may shift emphasis to mundane Cancer concerns such as [affordable] housing, childcare and care for the Aged.
Cancer is considered a more conservative sign and is concerned with creating more of a sense of both personal security as well as security for those of us who are more vulnerable.
All these themes will come more to the fore around the New Moon in Cancer later this month.
Full Moon at close to 20 Sagittarius on June 11
The Full Moon falls at close to 21 degrees of Sagittarius, emphasizing the Gemini / Sagittarius polarity, and highlighting issues around communication, speaking our truth, sibling relationships, learning, understanding how our mind works and highlighting our beliefs systems. The Sagittarius quest is the Search for Meaning; hence this full moon invites us to step back and see the bigger picture in our lives and expand our awareness and sense of what is possible for ourselves and humanity.

The Full Moon falls at close to 21 degrees of Sagittarius, emphasizing the Gemini / Sagittarius polarity, and highlighting issues around communication, speaking our truth, sibling relationships, learning, understanding how our mind works and highlighting our beliefs systems. The Sagittarius quest is the Search for Meaning; hence this full moon invites us to step back and see the bigger picture in our lives and expand our awareness and sense of what is possible for ourselves and humanity.
This Full Moon is in a very wide opposition to Jupiter as well a wide trine to both Chiron and Mars, creating a kite pattern. This looks supportive, especially for those of us with planets around 20 degrees of fire and air signs.
New Moon at close to 4 Capricorn on June 25
The New Moon on June 25 occurs 4 days after the Winter Solstice [Southern hemisphere] and forms a tight conjunction with Jupiter and squares both Neptune and Saturn.
Cancer New Moons always evoke strong emotional currents and invite us to reflect on family, the past and our emotional connections and bonds as they stimulate the Cancer archetype and all things ruled by this watery and emotional sign. This is a potent time to meditate on what nurtures us and how well we are meeting our needs for connection and belonging. We may feel called to do some ‘nesting’ and explore new ways of feeling safe, nurtured and contained.

With Neptune squaring both the Sun and Moon here and in the Solstice chart of June 21 – this lunation is asking us to allow our feelings and dreams to offer us guidance while requiring us to navigate Neptune’s shadow: confusion, denial, self-delusion, and escape into old addictive patterns that offer the illusion of an escape from anxiety. At the soul level Neptune asks us to let go our judgements and dualistic / adversarial thinking and surrender to Divine Love …or at least start to imagine what this may mean.
It is important to be aware that this energy can also be highly creative if we can own our confusion and allow the fog to lift in its own time. Neptune always challenges us to surrender to feeling and not act until something ‘feels right’. In other words, we are challenged to listen to our intuition. If you are experiencing confusion and can allow yourself not to ‘know’ the answer immediately and re-frame anxiety as part of the creative process, then the outcome may be more constructive and illuminating.
The conjunction with Jupiter will intensify whatever we are feeling – positive or negative – while Saturn is asking us to take responsibility for our needs for nurturing and belonging and perhaps ground this in some constructive action. We may be challenged to show our vulnerability or set clearer boundaries, often whatever is more uncomfortable for us is what we need to attend to at this time.
Note: This lunation may act as a trigger for events and or insights for those of us having Neptune and Saturn transits. Neptune is at 2 degrees of Aries and Saturn is close to that so this New Moon will particularly trigger planets around the early degrees of cardinal signs Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra. [and maybe late degrees of mutable signs].
