Sound effect of the week: OOF! BitchScopes for June 7-14




This week starts out relatively quiet, leaving us to settle from the weirdness of last week. However, there are some major things happening that will speed things up, and slow other things down, and you won’t know how that’s going to hit, because of retrogrades, Neptune, and Uranus. Stay light on your feet and loosen your grip on your desired outcomes.

This week has its share of interpersonal challenges and conflicts. There are some things floating around that can definitely screw with you: Conflict, feeling pulled in too many directions, confusion, cockiness...there’s a mix of rebellion and passionate pursuit with and laziness and poor communication. Its like...a room full of candles, unwatered houseplants, and a blind-folded candle lighter….you can’t quite be sure WTF may catch on fire.

You would be wise to spend some of the beginning of the week nurturing your personal relationships. Also, take some time to focus on what you’d like to manifest with this New Moon solar eclipse on Thursday. It is likely to surprise you, but if you’ve done a little footwork, you may not be so thrown off. The eclipse will speed up what is already underway, but Neptune and Mercury retrograde make everything very confusing. And then we have Part 2 of 3 of Saturn square Uranus...which can feel frustrated and stuck (The 1st one this year was February 17th, for reference). As you feel your personal power geared up, you may try to assert yourself, but can’t seem to make the changes you want or be heard the way you intended. These challenges really are opportunities to surrender and change your perspective. Maybe what you want isn’t quite what you thought, or what you need it to be, so the Universe will pump the brakes a bit.

June 10

  • Solar Eclipse - 19° Gemini; is an annular solar eclipse, and the “ring of fire” may be visible in some areas. This eclipse is conjunct Mercury retrograde and square Neptune, so illusion, confusion, and communication snafus or secrets can be present. New moons are great for starting new ventures, and working on manifesting new aspects of reality in your life. New Moon eclipses can speed up that process, and surprise you. Because there is so much fogginess around information during this time, it is advised to receive, observe and keep yourself grounded in reality as much as possible. The opportunities that present themselves as a result of this timeline jolt will still be there when Mercury stations direct. Process the information for now, without feeling like you need to act immediately.
  • Sun conjunct Mercury - quick thinking, desire to share ideas, easily distracted
  • Moon conjunct Mercury - your thinking will be heavily influenced by your feelings
  • Juno square Vesta - difficulties at place of employment affects personal relationships; possible need to sacrifice your desires to help you partner get through a career issue

June 11
  • Uranus conjunct Ceres - a new approach to how you nurture your loved ones
  • Saturn square Ceres - family obligations may cramp your style
  • Mars enters Leo - enthusiasm returns! Mars in Cancer is pretty blah, so this could help energy levels. Expressions will be confident and bold
June 12
  • Venus square Chiron - can trigger wounds around relationships, or your feeling of worth

June 13
  • Venus sextile Uranus - positive cash flow and interpersonal experiences
  • Sun square Neptune - motivation may be dampened, deception and confusion
June 14
  • Venus quincunx Juno - partner may not feel supported; partner may be unavailable when you need them
  • Pluto trine Lilith - Your individuality, confidence, and rebellion may inspire others and make you a leader in some circles; your personal power is high
  • Saturn square Uranus (2 of 3 this year) - Saturn square Uranus - Nervous inner tension is high as our need for freedom and independence bumps into our need for structure and stability. While this can affect us personally, most of the action is global. Personally, this can bring about changes that are hard to navigate, or a difficulty in making a change that we want. Stay flexible. View challenges as surprise opportunities from the Universe.



Aries - This week’s new moon falls in your solar 3rd house. You may be inspired and feel like expressing more than usual. Stay loose and don’t bulldoze others’ ideas. Your enthusiasm for newly discovered stuff should be tempered with a little bit of detachment. When in doubt, pick the simplest plan or idea, especially under this confusing energy.


Taurus
- Your 2nd house of money is lit up this week by the eclipse. Do yourself a favor and shove some money aside into a savings account and try not to overspend this month. If you’re job hunting, look at your resume and try to remove or soften words and phrases that lock you in to something too specific. Be open. If possible, don’t make significant decisions about money this week (other than the advice to put some aside).


Gemini - Your confidence levels and sense of identity can get a boost this week. There may be lack of clarity at the moment, but keep a journal of things you feel are changing within you, and keep track until well after Mercury stations direct. You may feel confused and overwhelmed by situations or information overload at the moment. But if you can trust and hold steady, the Universe is going to clear that all up for you as the month progresses.


Cancer - Your intuition may be on fire this week. Write everything down so you don’t forget your brilliant insights and ideas. Mercury is making things foggy, and this eclipse hits your 12th house, so things coming up from your unconscious should be recorded before they fade into the recesses of your mind again. Everything is a bit weird and confusing right now. What is chafing you? Bear in mind that what you feel restricts you is also giving you the security that you require. You can break out...but the timing for that will be later. Hang in there!


Leo - Good thing you are a natural leader, because this week, your peers may look to you to represent them. You may be asked to take on a larger role among your tribe...do it! Currently you may feel stuck and unable to decide on your next move. The planets this week will bring you some surprise inspiration and information, although it may not be very clear until later this month. Pay attention.


Virgo - Your work life is being influenced this week. A new direction may present itself. Don’t feel like you can’t take it simply because you’ve committed to something else. Don’t be thrown off if you change your mind a few times about it. Wait until at least the end of June before you decide, but do keep your eyes open and be open to new things. Freedom and luck will be present for you in the results of this week’s planetary shenanigans, so you have reason to feel very positive about changes that are in the works now.


Libra - You may find yourself thinking the deep thoughts of the 9th house. Have you changed your mind about certain beliefs? Are you craving different experiences than in the past? It’s okay! It is Ok for you to choose one thing or the other and not be in the middle. I say this not to mock the cliche of the indecisive Libra, but to empower you! Things may feel heavy at times this week, and you feel the weight of responsibility. Hang in there and have faith in how much you are valued. The feelings of “burden” will soften.


Scorpio - This eclipse lands in your solar 8th house of intimacy, which is the home of Scorpio. Keep your boundaries healthy, but also...take a chance on love. If the giving and receiving in your closest relationships is not balanced, that will be corrected. You can start with some awareness around this issue, and the planets will help with the clarity about how to bring balance to the situation.


Sagittarius - Your personal relationships and partnerships (even work related ones) will be propelled forward by this eclipse. Take some inventory. Are those relationships good or not so good? Whatever state they are in can be magnified, and this is a reflection of you...for better or worse. Be creative and courageous is how you behave as a partner. Work on manifesting more ease and honesty around trust and betrayal issues.


Capricorn
- Change your routine, change your route to work, change your dinner time, change your morning wake up time. This eclipse is going to affect these routines, so if things feel temporarily bajiggity, ultimately it will settle down and be positive. Issues around a person of authority will gain some clarity this week, even amidst this retrograde and Neptunian fog. I feel you will like, or benefit from, the outcome of the changes coming.


Aquarius - Take a risk, put your heart on your sleeve, feel your feelings, and express them to the other person. I know you’re freaking out so I’ll give you a moment…
Ok? OK. You have a strong intuition which you may often attribute as intellect and smarts. You don’t give yourself enough credit for your “hunches”. Don’t put more stock in someone else’s input than your own, especially as it relates to money and business.


Pisces - This eclipse will help resolve some issues in your home life. What may seem like an “oh shit” moment, could turn into a real upgrade! Be brave. When something happens because of someone else’s impulsivity or arrogance, before you pop off, spend some time alone with this issue and your feelings. You can pull up some deep wisdom for how to respond to this.
