Horoscopes 6.23.24 - 6.29.24
The Energy Report
This week continues the heavy Mercurial and Cancerian energy, bringing sensitivity and possibly self-protectiveness to our thinking.
On Wednesday we have supportive trine between mercury in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. Normally a trine between Mercury and Saturn would be a phenomenal time to knock some work out that you've been avoiding — helping you dig in and stay focused more than usual. Cancer and Pisces take that supportive focus and direct it towards our feelings, asking us to establish and hold better boundaries. In its most positive expression, this energy can help us love ourselves and others with dependable empathy, increasing a sense of safety and belonging. It can be a lovely time to socialize, with engaging conversation about topics close to the heart. In its negative expression, we may struggle to reign in (Saturn in Pisces) our scarcity-based thinking (Mercury in Cancer) and get obsessive or overly self-protective.
On Friday we have two exact transits, a Mercury square to Chiron and a Venus sextile Mars. Mercury square to Chiron can be a difficult transit, as it puts our need to fight for something in conflict with our scarcity-based thinking. It's a time when conflicts with coworkers or friends may arise. We may find ourselves lashing out over a perceived lack of care. If you can work with the energy, it's possible to find out how to hold your own while also giving and receiving care, even when it feels hard.
The Venus sextile to Mars is a little extra wind at your back on this day, making it easier to act on your values. With Venus in Cancer close to Mercury, there's a risk of being too focused on whether you're receiving the love you need, and being fueled towards a stubborn combativeness as a result.
Finally, on Saturday the 29th we have a Mercury sextile to Uranus that can inspire new thinking and solutions, or bring about unexpected developments in the situations that arose with friends or coworkers earlier this week. This is a great time for socializing and having fun with others, though note that we'll still be feeling the Mercury square to Chiron, and therefor be quick to jump to defensive conclusions.
Read the below horoscopes for your sun, moon and rising sign to get a sense of the energy and some useful tips.
Aries ♈︎
You may be struggling to define yourself against your family recently, feeling like you must fight for your independence. This may be true, but be wary of fighting against something (the risk of rejection) versus fighting for something (connection and love) this week.
Taurus ♉️
You may be feeling the need to dig your heels in a little extra this week when conflicts arise, fueled by a sense of uncertainty about who you are in the world. Take a breath, and bring your focus to the things and people in front of you right now. Enjoy whatever there is to enjoy exactly where your feet are planted in a given moment.
Gemini ♊️
With such a Mercurial week, you may find your brain moving even faster than normal (if that's possible). Take advantage of the trine to Saturn on the 26th to organize your home and finances, while taking note of how and when things got a little too messy. This is a great time for reiterating and improving.
Cancer ♋️
It's your season, and it's coming with plenty of bonus Cancer energy to boot. You may enjoy extra small sparks of connection this week, as long as you can stay open to them. Try to work with the positive expressions of Cancerian energy this week, which you have more access to than others: empathy, compassion for yourself and others, and an understanding of what makes home, home.
Leo ♌️
With the Chiron square in Aries, everyone is going to feel a little defensive this week. It's possible that when others start defending themselves you'll think there's an attack to your individuality — there isn't! Enjoy the social energy of this week while feeling secure in yourself. Remember not to act while you're activated.
Virgo ♍️
This is a beautiful, social week for you, Virgo. Enjoy it. With Mercury, Sun and Venus in your 11th house and Saturn in your 7th, you have the potential to navigate boundaries with social commitments in a new way, whether that means opening up to more people or paring down to focus on those closest to you. Just make sure not to go all in on one of those — the energy wants you to find flexible balance, not a "right" answer.
Libra ♎︎
Your people are your job and your focus, Libra, but you may find this week that others relate to their people differently. There's lots of potential for good experiences at work, if you can navigate the defensive Chiron in Aries. You're being challenged to withhold judgement from those closest to you, so that you don't push away the very connection you want.
Scorpio ♏️
You're likely feeling all the watery energy of the Cancer and Pisces placements this week, and you're very familiar with the Cancerian urge to pull away from the risks of being seen. Be aware of your relationship to institutions this week — religion, higher education, politics — and use the trine to Saturn to comb through what aligns with your values and what doesn't.
Sagittarius ♐️
Your boundaries with home and family are evolving with Saturn's transit through Pisces. Try to notice the difference between reflection and rumination this week. You'll be challenged to simply let things go when it comes to your family, but you're equipped to do so, my mutable and fiery friend.
Capricorn ♑️
Your thinking is deepened right now, and Saturn trine to Mercury, Venus and the Sun in your 7th house means you're very focused on your close relationships. Your vigilance for vulnerability makes this week pretty uncomfortable, but if you can digest those feelings emotionally rather than rationally you may find some much needed clarity.
Aquarius ♒️
This is a great week to figure out what's important to you, Aquarius. You know exactly what you like and don't like, but go a level deeper than that to some guiding principles. What do you want to dictate how you live your day-to-day? Write down your routine and comb through it to decide what needs updating.
Pisces ♓️
You're being challenged to answer the question "who are you?" this week, whether you want to or not. With Mercury, Venus and the Sun in your 5th house, your creative energy is very focused on home and family. This is a great time to figure out who you are outside your commitments to others, and the boundaries of where you stop and others begin.
