June 2026 : Soothing Balm
Business
Hello Everyone! Summer Break is here! If you are looking for a Consultation in the coming months and can’t find openings in my limited schedule don’t hesitate to reach out and I can fit you in.
Sara and I again released two new episodes this month! Evolutionary Astrologer Maurice Fernandez and Professional Astrologer Merryman Cassels joined us to talk about Wisdom in Times of Great Change, using Chiron in Taurus as our guide. Additionally, Sara and I met with MD and Astrologer Karen Crawford to talk about Medical Astrology : An Ancient Practice. Both are found on Broadcast Astrology : Insight for Humans , YouTube, Spotify and Other Channels.
I also posted my presentation on the War in Iran entitled King in Conflict (YouTube, Spotify, Substack, wherever you listen). While this is an astrologically heavy presentation, there is also meaningful plain-language descriptions of both the larger astrological picture that this War is situated within, as well as the more granular astrological outline. I plan to release more content from my recent astrological work on my platform in the coming months.
As always, you can find an audio/video version of this newsletter where I provide further insight into the topics covered in this Newsletter (YouTube,Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you listen).
Opening
May ended with some heavy energy, resulting in consequential blows to the plan. We could have been reminded that our need to control life comes with consequences that ultimately make us more vulnerable. The events at hand may have required extra effort in order to make sense of what unfolded. Or maybe there was just more condensed pressure than usual.
Regardless, June provides a fresh breath of air, a moment to integrate and reorient amongst the quickening that has overtaken our day-to-day reality. We could enjoy moments of appreciation, nourishment and comfort.
This doesn’t mean that the larger world won’t still be reeling. But it does mean that each of us can lean back a bit and enjoy the finer things in life : our loved ones, nature, art and creativity, yummy food, acts of kindness towards ourselves. We are able to lean into feeling GOOD this month.
This month won’t fix everything, but we deserve some rest and relaxation. And, the astrology promises that the months ahead will not allow for this same level of ease. As July begins, we will quickly be thrust back into more intensity.
Venus Conjunct Jupiter
Amongst the backdrop of a largely Venusian month (emphasizing peace, harmony and the finer things in life) June holds the most positive astrological alignment of 2026. On June 9th, Venus joins up with an exhalted Jupiter in Cancer at 25° 46’.
In a largely fast and furious sky, prompting us out of our comfort zones and to take a dramatic leap, this alignment gives us the opportunity to lean into our feeling-body and to find some balance.
In the sign of Cancer, we could be needing a sense of emotional security and protection. A balm to ease the nervous system and allow us to sink into our vulnerability more completely. It is in this place, where we can integrate the massive changes that we stand amongst.
If relationships have encountered some wear and tear amongst the tumultuousness energy of recent time, this is a great moment to make amends. Have heart-to-heart conversations, enjoy the ease and joy that is available in loving connections.
Remember that it is vulnerability, not heavy-handed actions, that keeps love alive and helps it to flourish. The astrology of this time in particular (and broadly in the month of June) provides support for tenderness and mutual understanding.
Take a look at your chart to see what you have near or around 25° of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn), you could find yourself more positively impacted by this transit!
Gemini New Moon
Situated at 24° Gemini 03’ and taking place on June 14th, the Gemini New Moon offers excitement and curiosity! This is a fun and uplifting New Moon to have occurring on the heels of the Venus-Jupiter Conjunction. This could be a time when socializing and community are highlighted. Making new friends and connections. Also, visiting new places that inspire you.
While there are some technical elements that could provide tensions and general challenges, the overall sentiment of this New Moon is supportive and enjoyable.
Take advantage of this New Moon! Arrange a time to enjoy friends and maybe even learn something new! Curiosity is your ally.
Venus Opposite Pluto
On June 17th, Venus will Oppose Pluto at 05° 07’, not long after she enters the sign of Leo. In a month that is largely defined by Venus and her movement through the sky, this is an alignment that could stir up the vulnerability that was spoken to above.
The moment that Venus perfects her opposition to Pluto, the Moon will be beside her, highlighting and bringing emotional sentiment to this alignment. And Neptune and Uranus will be in flowing aspects to this Opposition. We could find a new way to relate to one another, to ourselves, find that peace and harmony is beckoning us. But in order to receive these blessings, we must first sever ourselves from outdated patterns.
The separation from old ways could be scary and could leave us feeling momentarily unprotected. A plunge into the unknown is being presented to us. But there is immense support. And the risk to remain in our old ways is greater than the risk involved in taking the leap!
If you are feeling all the feels at this time, then you are in the right place. Lean into the vulnerability and allow the new opportunity and excitement to take the lead. Remember, there is a cost to everything.
Chiron into Taurus
On June 19th, Chiron will make its first dip into Taurus, where it will linger until September 17th (when it will retrograde back into Aries) and then make its decisive ingress on April 14th 2027. Chiron has been in Aries since 2018, and has been indicative of the heightened struggle for individuality within our society.
One example is the battle within social media to make a name for one’s self (which can often be a futile effort) but it is also the drive to be more sovereign. In 2020 in particular many people began leaving their 9-5 jobs and began working on their own (often using Social Media as a platform). There has been a reclamation of independence.
Themes of self-abandonment, mis-guided anger and suppressed identity (as illustrated by Chiron in Aries) are winding down. And the orientation of the wounded healer will be more focused on scarcity, personal worth, body image, and sensuality.
If you want more material on this ingress, Broadcast Astrology’s recent conversation with Maurice Fernandez and Merryman Cassels explores Chiron’s ingress into Taurus.
During Chiron’s time in Taurus, we could collectively be grappling with being safe in our bodies, how to find our value within a capitalistic society, and allowing ourselves the experience of abundance. Globally, there could be more defined financial reorganization.
Mercury Stations Retrograde
On June 29th Mercury will Station Retrograde at 26° Cancer 15’ and will be retrograde until July 23rd, when it stations Direct at 16° Cancer 18’. The Retrograde Station takes place in a Conjunction to Jupiter, suggesting a time of inflated words or mis-guided information. Expect empty promises and / or a grand plan that takes an unexpected turn.
The Station Direct is situated Square to Saturn, stating that the cold truth could hit hard at the end of the retrograde and a new orientation on a pragmatic path forward could be available. It is also possible that whatever events are aligned with this Mercury Retrograde end up right where they began, facing the consequences of untempered decisions.
Check to see what planets / placements you have between 16° - 26° of Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn). You could be more impacted by this Mercury Retrograde than most.
Capricorn Full Moon
Also taking place on June 29th, this grounded Capricorn Full Moon is situated at 08° 14’. Stability and security are highlighted. Located in a Square to the widening Saturn-Neptune Conjunction, we could be reminded of the porous nature of being human. Regardless of the efforts that we make to keep our lives predictable and in order, adjustments must be made in the midst of unavoidable destabilization.
This Full Moon re-states the inevitability of corrosion, the process of falling apart and loss. While the reality of this moment doesn’t have to be as grim as described, the days surrounding this Full Moon could drain our energy or make us feel lost on some level.
Again, the Cardinal signs are being triggered, this time the earlier degrees, look at what you have around 8° of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. It should be said that if you have Cardinal placements near this degree, that you are likely already facing the impacts of Saturn and Neptune.
Closing
The month ends on a cliff hanger. Jupiter will have just entered the sign of Leo on June 29th, setting up its powerful Opposition to Pluto. Wealth and power is being evaluated, and we could be required to make major concessions. And the Mercury Retrograde will add its own commentary on the events that take place in July. The US 250th Birthday promises to be a spectacle. And one that will be unfolding for the better part of the next year.
But until the upheaval of July kicks in, take advantage of the calm serenity offered in June. Let your nervous system find its baseline, have joyful conversations, allow yourself to find comfort and ease within your days. It is not often that we have a month as relatively uneventful as June.
This does not mean that it will all be smooth sailing. Sometimes when we are in a state of relative calm waters, it allows for the discomfort to arise to the surface. Material that we have been avoiding may be asking us to take notice of it. And we may not want to.
But this is the time to untangle the messiness that we may have been pushing aside. Remember that if we decide to look the other way yet again, that we are actually choosing to keep carrying it with us. Working through it could give us the opportunity to lighten our load and release it once-and-for-all.
I truly hope that you enjoy the sweet tenderness available this month. Don’t fall into the assumption that this state of ease will remain for long. Savor the potential yumminess of this time.
And, if this month personally serves you a heap of challenges, then this could have more to do with personal transits that you are in the midst of. You aren’t doing anything wrong if this isn’t where your June lands. But do recognize that comfort and ease is much more widely available. Ask for help, reach out to a friend.
Lots of love,
I’ll see you in July!
Lisa (aka The Dynamic Self)
