This is a big month for you, Pisces, for both outer engagement and inner contemplation. You are refining and redefining your understanding of who you really are, and the ways that you can fulfill the secret aim of this life’s journey into greater wholeness. Your learning goes on apace, taking on mystical overtones to the extent that you allow it, and operating in fits and starts of unexpected insight alternating with practical considerations. Inner exploration connects you to deep interior dimensions and to partners, although private demons could also appear. Jupiter is quite prominent this month, in positive connection with your other ruler, Neptune, and located in your ninth sector. This is thus an essentially optimistic time for you, with only a few obstacles that could arise in the path of your forward progress. You could be off on a longish trip, or dreaming of that; opening up to new horizons in a quite literal sense, or else metaphorically.

This month promises to be just as dynamic as last month’s Uranus ingress into the sign of Taurus. Now, we are looking at an upcoming Mars retrograde, plus the mid-month retrograde of Neptune in your first house; all this along with a series of big oppositions across the Cancer/Capricorn axis. Let’s look at each transit in-depth.
Between June 5th and 6th, Venus in Cancer in your fifth house of creativity, joy, and pregnancy, will be moving through an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn in your eleventh house of friends, dreams, and allies. This is one of several oppositions happening across this house and sign axis this month. For now, watch for themes of emotional, sexual and creative healing, trauma, breakdown and break through, as well as revelations or secrets being revealed, challenges related to diplomacy within groups or romantic relationships. Venus/Pluto can also indicate a powerful hidden, erotic, or sexual tension that is in the air right now. As a Pisces you are easily influenced by Venus in Cancer, so you are likely to be very sensitive to these energies. Knowing this you should take care and establish good boundAries for yourself.
At nearly the same time, between June 6th and 7th, the Sun and Mercury will be conjunct in Gemini in your fourth house of home, property and family, and simultaneously square Neptune in your first house of self, health, and identity. Look for themes related to family karma, communication dynamics at home or in the family, issues related to health and family, as well as new beginnings or the initiation of new things in the home. It may be easy to feel somewhat misunderstood during this transit, or as though you aren’t being seen clearly by others. This may in fact have its roots in something from your family past, which you are being invited to explore right now.
On June 13th, the New Moon in Gemini will also land in your fourth house of home, family, and property, signaling the importance of these themes right now. At the same time, Mars will conjoin the South Node of the Moon in your twelfth house of self-undoing, transcendence, and ego-dissolution. This is a powerful transit that is foreshadowing the long Mars retrograde over the months ahead. Watch for themes of crusading or fighting for those who are marginalized or outcast, the need to confront your shadows, to find courage in the face of overwhelming circumstances, or to actively confront your own self-destructive tendencies. With the South Node involved, this is a wise Mars that may carry messages or wisdom from the deep past with it.
Between June 14th and 15th, Venus in Leo in your sixth house of labor, sickness, and service will square Uranus in Taurus in your third house of communication, the mind, and siblings. Watch for themes of conflict, defiance, rebellion, and innovation in relationships or in the work place, as well as the need or desire for sexual exploration, creative breakthroughs and an emphasis on freedom and independence, or serving those who are in need. As a Pisces you are naturally imaginative, but you are also generally very concerned with keeping the peace. This transit may challenge you to step out of your comfort zone a little within your relationships, but if you believe deeply in something, then some things are worth taking a stand for!
On June 15th, Mercury in Cancer in the fifth house will oppose Saturn in Capricorn in your eleventh house placing an emphasis once again on the topics of friendship, groups of people, creativity, joy, and recreation. The need of Mercury in your fifth house for uplifting and emotionally sensitive communication is trying to come to terms with Saturn’s task master orientation in the house of groups, friends, allies, and your ambitions or dreams. Watch here for themes of emotionality versus duty, the need for non-goal-oriented emotional connection, joy, pleasure, or creative freedom contrasted with the work of pursuing dreams and goals with like-minded people. Being a water sign, you are naturally equipped with emotional intelligence, so just remember to listen to your heart at this time and work toward a synthesis between play and the hard-working demands of Saturn.
On June 21st the Summer Solstice implies restless passion, while Venus in Leo in your twelfth house will also oppose Mars in Aquarius in your sixth house. Watch for the topics of themes of sexual and creative tension, trauma, and healing. There is a special opportunity to unite the masculine and feminine right now in a way that promotes healing, health, and agreement or compromise. Be careful of the tendency to compete with others in your relationships, and remember to use your better judgment and keen intuition before rushing into anything romantically right now.
June 23rd Mercury in Cancer in your fifth house is now opposing Pluto in Capricorn in your eleventh house. The same general themes are on the table again for you (see June 5th and 6th and June 15th, above), but this time the focus is on transformational communication dynamics. Watch for issues related to honesty and integrity, emotional manipulation or neediness, maturity and depth in language and listening, and breakthroughs or catharsis in your relationships with others. Sharing whatever is on your mind right now might feel vulnerable, or even volatile, but you are at your best when you speak and flow from the heart, so trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to speak up with friends or in the groups you belong to.
Then on June 25th, Venus in Leo in your sixth house of labor, sickness, and service will square Jupiter in Scorpio in your ninth house of religion, higher education, and long journeys. Venus/Jupiter combinations are generally related to growth, good fortune, creativity and abundance, beauty and glamour, and a sense of faith and virtue. However, in these houses you may also be exploring the following themes: the labor of love, love and religion, sexuality and philosophy, the rights of women, ethics and the workplace, or even the search for beauty in the difficulties and hardships of life. Though you are naturally a compassionate person, you are sometimes too easily impressed or taken over by strong people or environments. This transit often over promises and under delivers, or it may tempt you into something grandiose or exotic that may not turn out exactly as you are expecting, so be sure to be very discerning as this transit passes through.
Finally, on June 27th, just as the Full Moon comes through and energizes everything, especially your future plans and your creative self-expression, you react as well to Mars turning retrograde in your twelfth house, beginning just one day prior, where it will stay until the middle of August. The retrograde of Mars takes place near the South Node of the Moon. This is a very deep transit that recalls the following themes and archetypes: saints and sinners, martyrs and victims, trying times and the courage needed to face them, people suffering or imprisoned and the call to action, forcefully or willfully leaving someone or something or being abandoned or left abruptly, self-destructive patterns and the intense desire to finally correct them, rehabilitation and disease, and the power of belief… how it increases when we take time alone or actively work through our shadows with vigor and enthusiasm. This is a big one for you, and for everyone. Remember that you’re not alone nor the sole pilot of your ship; let your faith and good heartedness guide you through this one. We will revisit it over the next few months, as well!
