Themes: Summer relaxation, relationship drama, and mature steps made towards health/wellness .
Lets begin :
Venus and Mars move together for all of June and July. Romance gets an emotional edge and relationship karma is released June 29th-July 9th whilst Venus and Mars dance through the karmic 'Gandanta Zone' of Cancer to Leo. These are dates to be mindful of relationship tensions and possible vehicle problems.
Both Venus and Mars are currently stationed in the watery emotions of Cancer, Mars's debilitation sign, rendering it hard to make up ones mind and be courageous in acts of affection. Outward display aren't supported. A Secret fling? Maybe. Venus travels slow, which could extend the loving- but also bring lethargy and complacency. Choose the love, leave the excess lethargy.
Mars in Cancer debilitated can bring frustrations, as the mind wants to 'go,' but the body is just fine staying put. With Venus along side, we see acts of love as more 'staying put' and 'relaxing' together. Being together in a cozy environment can be what solves everything. Be patient in matters of love, enjoy the slow flow of it all.
Stamina and drive, at a physical level, are at a low. If you are one that is difficult to motivate, this time may feel extra sluggish, and introverted. Be mindful of not getting too stagnant. With planet of romance right next to Mars, Venus can produce scintillating encounters from home- these are always on the menu. If you are a 'go, go' person, this month will prove extra exhausting, lean into this and don't judge the rest, let it happen. You'll get a boost in July.
This is a time to redecorate the family room with simple additions, value down time, and not take on large construction projects.
It will not be easy to direct your energies into productive means. So honor this.
Then June 17th rolls around- New Moon and Saturn turns Retrograde.
"This will produce an inner need to heal our relationship karma, look deeply at what structures in our life are fueling our present disorders/dis-eases..."
June 17th, Saturn goes retrograde bringing until November 4th.*
*Saturn has a retrograde period every year.
Key things to watch out for: return of a past flame, reassessing relationship goals and passions, realign with the core of your creative being, research into fine arts and luxury, appreciation for trends and beauty of the past generations, repurposing furniture, reorganizing/re-beautifying your home space. Past friends and love interests resurge and emphasis on reconnecting with female friends and love interests is present. Recommitments and affirmations in love, reassessing our sexual relationships and how some unhealthy desires and use of time may be influencing our need to heal.Emphasis on feminine self care.
Saturn sits in the mysterious occult Shatabishaka Nakshatra which rules health/healing, water/elixirs/beverages, and secrecy.
With Mars debiliated with Venus influencing our desires in our relationships, Saturn enters the party by going retrograde. This will produce an inner need to heal our relationship karma, look deeply at what structures in our life are fueling our present disorders/dis-eases, unearthing secrets of our past, and some hidden knowledge around reveals itself. Sometimes we are asked to make changes for others, this time we are asked to change for ourselves.
We get another chance to address our health, we are asked to find the strength and maturity from within.
With Saturn retrograde, our healing becomes our responsibility and we are asked to make commitments to ourselves.
As for healing modalities and our journey into deeper realms of our selves, this will continue till November 4th. Some secrets that are unearthed on a personal level during this time, will take several months to make sense of.
Upnext June 23d, Venus goes Retrograde in Leo and crosses back into Cancer.
"Past friends and love interests resurge...reassessing our sexual relationships and how some unhealthy desires and use of time may be influencing our need to heal."
June 23d, Venus is retrograde until Sept 2nd. *
*Venus goes retrograde once every 2 years.

August will see Venus alone back in Cancer. Love gets an encore, feminine wisdoms and nourishing ourselves with comfort is the theme. This is of course, after it transits over the karmic knot 'Gandhanta Zone' August 4-7th.
Concluding with Mercury, Venus and Saturn Retrograde together in August
"Re-organizing, priorities shift, great time to get rid of excess stuff that proves
to be more obstructive in our flow, then supporting."
August 23d, Mercury goes retrograde in Leo until Sept 15th. *
*Mercury goes retrograde multiple times a year.
Mercury joins the party and we conclude the summer with 3 planets in retrograde. This can be a lot of life re-organizing, priorities shift, great time to get rid of excess stuff that proves to be more obstructive in our flow, then supporting.
We work on our communication skills more thoroughly, better ways to communicate our intentions to those we love, and setting goals together. There will be confusion, and misunderstands, the usual hallmarks of retrograde Mercury, but this is all building on something great.
