The St Petersburg Forum takes place under the Jupiter-Saturn auspices
The four Elements combine to make this a pretty balanced month. It sure has its complexities and spices – make no mistake, times are a-changing. But June does significantly combine all four elements, as if seasoning, as if preparing us for the next season, of great significance.
Full Moon Fire opens the month, on June 4, with the Moon in expansive Sagittarius trining Mars, Pallas and Black Moon in Leo. Fire in the battle field and across the border: another terrorist attack in Belgorod and a large-scale offensive in Donetsk, which resulted in a large-scale loss for the AFU.
But this Full Moon has also its more uplifting aspects, as it propels us forward and calls for aiming higher, from a strategic perspective. Both brains and guts can guide us, as chess goddess Pallas conjuncts 007 Black Moon in Leo – the exact conjunction happening on Russia Day – June 12. The Sun is in harmony with them this week. Mars joins them in Leo and so does Venus, who enters the star-shine sign on June 5, for an epic 4-month transit (all the way into October, including the Venus-Star Point in August).
Right as she ingresses in Leo, Venus faces the intense opposition to Pluto and squares the Lunar Nodes (June 7), currently ruled by Venus and Pluto. This indicates significant financial and economic moves, as well as shifts concerning to any sort of abusive relations, including in respect to diplomacy.
On June 11, Pluto retrogrades from Airy Aquarius to Earthy Capricorn, for further elaboration of the US Pluto Return; whilst Mercury goes from Earthy Taurus into the Gemini Air, where he is most at home, facilitating movement and communications. That is, as long as he does not try to dodge Saturn (square), but rather sustains his word and devotes the necessary time for each of his tasks.
For more of the Earth element, Cornucopia Jupiter in Taurus is now here – and, as expected, his entrance in May has shown what he is about. His T-square with Pluto and Mars has intensified belligerence in places more than one, escalating geopolitical tensions. At the same time – or just a little bit further down the line – his conjunction to the North Lunar Node in showing the way forward, especially in regards to geoeconomics.
To mention a few of May’s happenings which accompanied Jupiter’s ingress to Taurus: the US default threat (and the additional budget manipulations it allows for); the 4th US bank failure since March; Germany’s recession; the many summits such as the multipolar ones – the China-Central Asia, the Arab League with Syria in, the Russia – Islamic World Kazan Forum, the Eurasian Economic Forum, clearly showing the way forward – and even the pathetic G7, in which Lula was so disrespected, including being stood up by the clown, that it apparently woke the double Scorpio in him, stimulating perhaps a sharper stance (let us observe), with him calling Putin and giving Maduro a warm, unapologetic welcome; The Bilderberg in Lisbon focused on AI in warfare (Jupiter in T-square to war Mars and AI Pluto in Aquarius) as desperate means to try counter the geoeconomics changes; and then the multipolar cherry: the announcement that Saudi Arabia is holding discussions on joining the New Development Bank of the BRICS.
The Jupiter-Saturn Sextile
Jupiter’s next summit is with Saturn, his Great Mutation buddy. Yep. The Great Mutation guys meet again, forming a harmonious aspect from June 14 to 24, peaking on June 19. Jupiter in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces: they connect the fixed Earth and the mutable Water, articulating the economic and political dimensions in solid, yet transformative ways – an ideal time for combining pragmatic objectivity and inspiring subjectivity.
We have a dream – how do we materialize it?
Our concrete dealings can be filled with inspiration and good taste – gestating, forming, structuring.
SPIEF ‘23
It is right with the Jupiter-Saturn sextile that the St Petersburg International Economic Forum begins – June 14-17, under a Cornucopia Taurus Moon, conjuncting Jupiter and Uranus, and a glam-and-talent Leo stellium. Undoubtedly, another very interesting edition of the SPIEF. And if I hadn’t learnt it from the heavens, just by glancing at the titles in the programme I’d know it – check it out.
Retro Saturn (June 17) and Retro Neptune (June 30)
Both Saturn and Neptune will change gears into retrograde motion. Saturn will do it whilst perfecting his sextile to Jupiter, which speaks of favorable conditions in which to revise and do the necessary adjustments in accordance to the newly inspired direction and perspectives.
Neptune goes retrograde just before we enter July, allowing for a more raw perception in our collective. But first, he could be a little blurry. It is important to address Neptunian issues and veils, to bring discernment.
Gemini New Moon square Neptune
The Moon will be New on June 18, 4:36 UTC, at 26º34 Gemini. And here is where it gets tricky: it squares Neptune by 1º degree. You know the drill, don’t ya? When there’s a Neptune square, beware. Of lies, confusion, deceit, falsities… of the misleading Neptunian veils. It will occur sharply on NATO’s Moon-Uranus conjunction… Better beware of possible false flags or undesirable surprises. It will, inevitably, trigger or show some of NATO’s true colors.
It could be also a tricky and dangerous moment on the Iran-Afghanistan border – Gemini signifies neighbours, square Neptune signifies water, confusion, tricks, conflict. Bamboo flexibility and ninja wisdom are advisable.
June’s Juno Solstice
With the ingress of the Sun in Cancer, the Solstice occurs, on June 21, at 14:57. Sun conjunct Juno and in harmony with the Lunar Nodes –legitimacy and respectability to relations and groups of shared objectives. And, with the Leo stellium in square to Uranus in the solstice’s chart, we’re in for an epic season ahead (winter/summer) – a moment to contribute to the collective changes with the best of our colors, our creativity and talents.
Additional End of the Month Aspects
Mars-Uranus Square (June 24 to 28, exact on the 26) always requires attention and caution, for it is one of the harshest aspects, with the risk of accidents.
The following Sun-Saturn Trine (June 28-29), however, is a steadier and more secure/firm aspect, favouring professional moves, as well as commitments.
And the Sun-Jupiter sextile (right at the transition into the next month) is what we should tap into for nourishment and confidence as times – unmistakably – are to break new grounds.
All four Elements put to use. Much can be accomplished in June, at an unpretentious but determined pace, for the glory of quality – which can further flourish in the months to come.
