Astro Daily: June 9, 2023

A Pisces Moon takes us into the weekend, one that both wants to go with the flow but also hammer out the details. We’ve also got two big planetary shifts over the next two days, a reminder to feel into Pisces’s liminal space and prepare for something new.

The first shift is Mercury’s arrival in Gemini. Although a bit more mundane, remember that Mercury has been plodding along in Taurus since April, which is a long time. When it arrives home to Gemini on June 11, it’s a breath of fresh air, a late-in-the-season boost for the Gemini Sun. Perhaps we’ll get some of our mojo back or see things that have been taking a long time start to gain some momentum.

The second shift is not mundane. Pluto arrives back in Capricorn, a sign that it has been in since 2008. If you recall, Pluto made its first foray into Aquarius back on March 23. (Just for clarity, Pluto hasn’t been in Aquarius since the 1780s and 1790s.) And the last few months have been planting the seeds for a new era. (No big deal.)

Going back to Capricorn means we have loose ends to tie up. We’ve done the work, but something needs a second look or deeper integration. And what has Pluto in Capricorn been? Nothing short of a gut-level transformation of the power structures of our lives. (Read more in Pluto in Capricorn: Sign by Sign.)

Lastly Venus makes an indulgent square to Jupiter in Taurus on June 11. We may be overdoing it this weekend. Nevertheless, make time for play, fun, and the pleasures of earthly living.

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for June 10-12, 2023.
