In June, Saturn will go retrograde, Jupiter will change nakshatras while remaining in the Aries sign, and we will also experience both a full moon and a new moon. Let’s take each event and see what it will bring in our collective. 

June 3rd – Full Moon in Scorpio 

Moon Scorpio sign is considered weakened bringing more emotional turmoil in our lives. Scorpio is a sign associated with intensity, depth, secrecy, and transformation. When the Moon is in Scorpio, it can bring about intense emotions, a desire for privacy, and a tendency to delve into the depths of one’s emotions and subconscious. However, the Moon’s nurturing and soothing qualities may be affected or restricted in Scorpio.

Let’s sum it up to see how this will influence: 

• Triggering period for those with suppressed emotions, or more karmical emotional left unprocessed
• karmic relationship with mother or other female family members 
• Opportunity for introspection, healing, transformation
• Could trigger some anxiety about safety 
• More anger, would be wise to pick one’s battles 
• Transformation from own insecurities 
• Heavy rains around the world, floods 
• Hearing or actively participating into arguments or scandals 

June 17th – New Moon in Gemini 

This position can stimulate a lot of mental curiosity, even wanting to learn new things or just communicate with others about what we already know. Being a new moon will weaken the Moon, making the communication a bit more egocentric or even pedantic. 

• Good for assessing new mental pursuits
• Emotional fluctuation 
• Good for basic communication not negotiation 
• Good day for planning but not taking direct action
• Arguments with mother
• Anxiety about safety

June 17th – Saturn retrograde 

This is a period of time where Saturn will get more powerful, being into his mooltrikon sign and retrograde. Also, some old karmas could resurface, might even close some karmical circles. 

• Good time to turn inwards, introspection with our past actions 
• Depending on Saturn position in our chart/ rulership over houses/ aspects, some parts of our lives will go under review 
• Slowing down to see what needs to transform, also if we are aligned with our dharma 
• Past karma resurface
• A more faster result of our karma

June 21st – Jupiter enters Bharani nakshatra 

Jupiter is still in Aries sign, but it will change its nakshatra and its focus for the remaining of the year. Lets see what does that mean:  

• A more intense desire to do good
• Problem with feet or legs 
• Food addictions, or entertainment addiction
• Anxiety and ocd
• Good for retreats, meditation and yoga 
• Blooming period for existing business
• Learning to let go to what is no longer necessary
