Hey, Howdy and happy official start of Summer! Welcome to your astro weather for June 15-21 2026. This week marks the midpoint of the solar year, woo hoo! It’s a peaceful week relative to last, for sure, but the cosmos will still whip out one big play for us. Pluto is ever-retrograde in Aquarius and Luna starts the week at home in Cancer, blazes thru Leo, tries to logic her way thru Virgo, and ends the week bubbling up to the surface in Libra. Let’s knock this out right quick!
So this week opens with the Venus show, as I teased last week. As she relates to how we discern, so she relates to relationships, resources, and things deemed beautiful and worthy of appreciation (or not!), and values. And we have a concentrated first three days of checking in with these things as she runs the gauntlet of connecting with the evolutionary outer planets and lunar nodes, still jammed up in the early degrees of the harmonic range. It starts on Monday with the most subtle of her connections as she gives a nod back to ultimate “wyrdo” Uranus. This alignment brings a first check in on things that snapped back when they got together on April 23rd, the final connection the two will share in Ta**us for around 80 years. Although, as I said, it is a subtle connection, things could still pop suddenly, unexpectedly. Someone in your life surprisingly rubs you the right or wrong way, or maybe a seemingly chance encounter brings a new friend or opportunity. Some might get a wild hair up and decide to “treat yourself!” Haha You might come to see something in a different way, to change your mind about something. Maybe think “change of mind and change of heart”. But do absolutely be mindful around big impulse buys that Venus in Leo might be predisposed to because…
Tuesday brings a vibe to REALLY be kind of self-aggrandizing, and that will be in effect on Monday as well. These energies aren’t like flipping a switch…they linger and stretch and overlap and this day brings to a culmination a possible tendency toward overestimating what we think we are owed or “deserve”. (For my students of astrology, this is because of the signs we are working with! Both Leo and Aries can tend toward self interests! And, as a Leo-rising Aries, I’m not slamming anyone here! Haha I’m looking in the mirror! It just is what it is! Does someone want to volunteer to hold on to my plastic this week?! lol) And *spoiler alert* coming right on the heels is a big energy to bring some reality checks and reassessing crashing down. But this could also be a spectacular time for creating, for catching a new vision, for imagination, for dreams. Intuition may be on fleek, so go with what you “know”. This energy is built for artists and creators!
So…that little reality check I just mentioned…is strong on Wednesday as Venus stands off opposite Rx Pluto for an energy that I might call “relationship fracking”, under which the truth and reality will likely out! Little cracks that we’ve tried to spackle over and ignore can become so obvious and untenable. Power differentials and imbalances as well. If one partner really “wears the pants”, the other partner may become painfully well aware of it, without much happiness. But that means it is also a great day to stand up for oneself where warranted, to own and exercise one’s personal will, power, and control, hopefully in a healthy and appropriate manner. As an added bonus and exclamation point, the Moon blows over this alignment just as it perfects…strengthening and confirming an already potent and impactful situation. Say what you gotta say, but absolutely try to think first because you can’t un-say s**t that has been been said and harsh moves busted under this influence aren’t likely to be walked back or smoothed over easily.
The next three days are largely unremarkable which is pretty ok. We will likely need a hot minute to catch our collective breath after the first three. Then, by the time most rise and shine on Sunday, the Sun will rise newly in Cancer-the ingress happening at 3:24am local. Happy Summer Solstice, the day of greatest sunlight. And we know also that any planet skipping over a boundary is headed straight for that pack of evolutionary forces. Just ask Venus…but we’ll save that discussion for next time!
And with that, I thank you-as always, for stopping by and checking out my work. I do hope you’ll come on back next time…because, as promised (or maybe warned), s**t is about to start getting very real again. July is just gonna be a doozy! But for now, living in this moment, have a wonderful sunshiny week!
