PEACE TALKS - June 2025
Jupiter shifting into Cancer is the softening balm that delivers huge potential to alliances related to emotional nurturing and family security. From now on, a caring attitude works harder than cash on the table.
1st June: Venus Conjunct Chiron And Eris @ 25’ Aries
Venus in Aries might be helping us find our inner power, our chutzpah, yet on 1st June, Venus meets the Wounded Healer, Chiron to cause us to look at the motivation behind our goals. What do we really want? Venus generally likes to add a little gloss, but right now, she is the Morning Star, which is her guise as the Goddess of War and therefore not afraid to ask tough questions about where we are heading. We cannot ignore our troubles any longer. Chiron in Aries is our personal wound and trigger, so to be joined by Venus, our attractor, our feel good factor, even when she is in war mode - especially when she is in war mode - is sure going to reveal some cold hard truths. The asteroid Eris is also here, and she is ready to call our our BS and anything we are kidding ourselves with. There is no hiding from the shock revelations this triple conjunction focuses on, but Venus in Aries is fast acting, and it will be difficult to move forward without making amends.
6th - 9th June: Venus, Mercury And Jupiter Ingress
As Venus steps into her home sign of Taurus on 6th, she will be in self-soothing vibe, which continues with Mercury stepping into caring Cancer, followed on 9th by the expansive Jupiter in his annual change of sign. Jupiter newly in Cancer will of course energise the talkative Mercury, to focus on sympathetic concerns, like how people are going to live comfortably, how to get to the win win situation, ensuring conversations revolve around making everyone feel safe and secure. The pair are empowering a much softer, empathetic attitude in Cancer, where we can work to nurturing deeper, more honest connections, and where kind words will have far more influence. Jupiter will be enhancing all the compassionate Cancer themes for a year, and his entrance into the sign of the crab on 9th, will be a noticeable and welcome change of tune. As Jupiter enters Cancer with commercially-focused Mercury, the switch to situations and entrepreneurship that build success through emotional intelligence and supportive relationship dynamics, feels like a new super power. Tune into your emotional landscape and find your softer side - don’t get left behind. Perhaps this is where the war talk can take a turn to resolution? If not internationally, definitely we can ‘forgive and forget’ within our own circles.
11th June: Sagittarius Full Moon (With Ruler Conjunct Mercury)
The Full Moon at 20’ Sagittarius on 11th gives a thunderous applause around our best interests and high hopes, especially since its ruler Jupiter, has just made the entrance into loving empathetic Cancer. Jupiter is of course conjunct Mercury, so we are going to hear about the supportive vibes, and we want to believe they are in the pipeline too. This is a time to open your box of good ideas, and see if any of them are going to fly. Jupiter and Sagittarius are known to be lucky, or is it just their positive attitude. Whichever it is, we cannot miss this golden opportunity to put our best foot forward and at least try to make something especially rewarding or exciting happen.
15th, 17th, 19th June: Mars Ingress Virgo To Head Up A Yod, Plus A Pluto Yod
Mars is all heart-centred action in Leo, driving the drama, increasing the flamboyancy, and when he makes a square to crazy Uranus on 15th, it’s time to take all our high hopes from the Sagittarius Full Moon and play the wild card of rebellion. There will be no time to sit back and watch the revolution on tv, because our attention is required to get out of any fix and free ourselves from any potentially devastating consequences. The Mars Uranus square is a fast acting, divisive swoop, which could possibly set you free in an instant - to live with the startling results afterwards, as Mars will enter Virgo on 17th for some cut-throat organising and due diligence. Mars in Virgo is now at the head of a Yod with Pluto Retrograde on one side and Saturn / Neptune on the other, thereby driving the exacting analysis of recent events. A true fact finding mission that leaves no table unturned. On top of this critique, Pluto Rx is at the head of another Yod (with Mars and Jupiter at the sides). Therefore we have a double Yod, with Mars and Pluto as the leaders, the two malefics in prime position, opening a chasm to hell fire and damnation, a worst nightmare come true scenario. They are to deliver a coup de grace that could shock the world. New facts are on the table, as yet more conspiracy theories become unavoidable truths and we have to live by what they reveal, transforming our worlds and jettisoning us into a wild west future.
21st, 22nd, 23rd ad 24th June: Sun Ingress Cancer, Square Saturn, Neptune, Conjunct Jupiter
Cancer season starts on 21st June, and immediately the Sun squares Saturn (@ 1’) and then Neptune (@ 2’) before making a much more comforting and loving conjunction with Jupiter @ 3’ Cancer. Together, the Sun and Jupiter are the shining light, the beacon of hope that we all need, and following the two squares, we can be sure, we have turned a corner, taken a big decision, to alleviate ourselves from pressing concerns, or confusing delusion. Grasp this brilliance and align with the more empathetic softness it brings forth. This kindness is a light in the darkness or at the end of a tunnel, that we can trust to follow.
25th June: New Moon 4’ Cancer Conjunct Jupiter, Sextile Mars, Square Saturn/Neptune
Yes, we can be sure of this new hope and relax into its promise. The Cancer New Moon on 25th June could be the ‘end of war’ talks, in a world-wide sense, but also for each of us personally. To forgive and forget, to soften into alignment even with our enemies, with a treatise of understanding that takes the tension off the hard edged vibe we have actually become used to. Now that Jupiter is involved with this New Moon in Cancer, a whole new era of family dynamics that build generational wealth for large family networks are possible. The Brady Bunch are now the go to example of how mixed and blended families can work.
26th - 30th June: Moon And Mercury Ingress Leo To Oppose Pluto Retrograde
As Mercury ingress Leo (at the same time as the Moon), the talkative and tricky planet now opposes the dark Lord PlutoRx (exact on 29th). Mercury in Leo can talk a big story, and perhaps we can now talk openly and honestly, and with far more confidence, in the face of adversity, without the threat of WWIII hanging over every conversation. Yes, we are now acting in an arena with far more compassion, but we cannot let go of what really needs to be said and done to ensure our best interests are respected and our hopes satisfied. Negotiations and peace talks now have far more potential for alliance and success.
