to join us. It’s far more than Astrology, it’s connection, curiosity, and a place of self-care, self-compassion and an opportunity to find YOU.
Today is the first day that my detailed daily forecasts will go out to only paid Substack subscribers. From today, free subscribers will receive this week-ahead post with the major aspects and outline. There will be less about the Asteroids and Centaurs etc and less ‘teaching’ about Astrology. But don’t worry, those posts will still give great guidance. I will also make some other posts available to free subscribers, probably when big things are happening in the Astro and mundane world.
On that note, I hope you will consider becoming a paid subscriber. Paid subscribers help me to grow my goal of reaching more people at little cost to you. Of course, paid subs also help pay my bills and more.
The beauty of Substack is that you can Subscribe monthly ($7 a month) or annually ($70 a year) and you can change your Subscription as often as needed in your personal settings or by clicking on the links Substack send when your subscription is up for renewal. Here’s a great ‘how to’ or google is your friend. How to Change Subscription Plan
As mentioned yesterday, the Gemini energy this week is off the charts, and we've got a very chaotic but also exciting week ahead.
Gemini is a mutable air sign which means it’s changeable and often finds it hard to make decisions, focus, and tends to want to take in all the information and do ‘all the things’.
The good side of this is the ability to be open-minded and to listen and take in other opinions and points of view. So there is huge potential here. But it’s likely to feel like one whole ball of confusion with a new Gemini Venus Star Point and a Gemini New Moon all in the dark of the Moon.
It may feel as if a lot of ‘information’ is incoming from everywhere, the world, the news. Your inner voice, those around you. You are unlikely to begin to untangle the web until later in the week.
It’s a head spinner of a week! Here’s my week ahead video before I go through the major aspects :)
Sun June 2
Mars conjunct Eris 5:17 PM 25˚ 17’ Aries
Jupiter trine Pluto 8:12 PM 1˚ 53’ Gemini/Aquarius
The week begins with some potentially discordant and table-shaking energy with the Moon still in passionate Aries and a conjunction between the Moon, Mars, and truth-teller, Eris. Mars and Eris were siblings in the myth and this could be seen as bringing together the anima and animus within too. Those who are, or feel, marginalized and left out of in some way are likely to be shouting loudly. I am thinking of the violent rhetoric of Dump supporters online. However, the Aries energy doesn’t have to be violent. This is Pride Month (happy Pride - I forgot to say it yesterday) and Aries can also mean ‘taking a stand’. I think we have to remember that Eris didn’t fight herself, she revealed unfairness and the horrors of the human condition.
Either way, this is loud energy. People speaking truth to power either in anger or from a place of inner strength.
The Jupiter/Pluto trine from Gemini to Aquarius will help to dig up the shadow of where ‘the people’ don’t feel heard in all ways.
At a personal level today will help you to speak out for yourself. To take a stand and speak your truth. The Sabian symbol for the Mars/Eris conjunction is “Aries 26: A (hu)man possessed of more gifts than they can hold” suggesting leaning into your fullest potential and self-confidence with a caution around being overly confident and too assertive.
Mon June 3
Moon —> Taurus 1:55 AM
Mercury —> Gemini 3:36 AM
Today the energy shifts. The waning Moon enters Taurus for a couple of days bringing stubbornness and/or rootedness. Combined with the other energies this can also mean that you stand strongly in your values and act with love or it can mean being so stuck in your values that you try to tell others what’s what.
Mercury the messenger also changes signs today moving into their sign, Gemini, adding to the Gemini overload. This will up the noise of information and the ball of confusion (I am singing Love and Rockets in my head as I write, of course, their cover of Ball of Confusion). Mercury is a trickster so there may be an increase in verbal trickery and manipulation.
Tue June 4
Mercury trine Pluto 2:12 PM 1˚ 52’ Gemini/Aquarius
Mercury conjunct Jupiter 6:23 AM 2:12’ Gemini
Gemini VSP™ 11:33 AM 14˚ 29’ Gemini
The overwhelm of noise and information reaches a peak today and over the next couple of days. Today Mercury meets expansive Jupiter and both trine Pluto in Aquarius. That’s a whole lot of noise about rights, equality, community, the shadow of Aquarius and more. The shadow of Aquarius is authoritarianism and there’s a lot of that being revealed everywhere. And a lot of accusations of authoritarianism are being flung about. The irony is that authoritarianism can occur in many forms including trying to force others to speak out about things in the way you think they should.
The new 9.5 month Gemini star point cycle begins today. Venus will be in her evening star phase, more peaceful, more receptive, more loving. How apt that I went to see Ringo Starr last night with his message of peace and love. This bodes well for any peace talks and negotiations. My webinar is still available for download and is free to members of The Nest, my private membership community. We’ll be talking a LOT about the Venus Star Point cycle and work over the next few months as I teach it to members.
Wed June 5
Moon —> Gemini 4:36 AM
The Moon joins the Gemini party and noise overload for a couple of days. As this is in the dark Moon, this might lead to extreme anxiety and worry. Self-care is key to coping with this. Grounding. Staying out of the noise of news and online. You get the idea. Anything that can help you calm your nervous system.
Thu June 6
Gemini New Moon 8:37 AM 16˚ 17’ Gemini
It’s a positive New Moon overall even though there’s so much noise. New ideas, new alliances, new systems, will all emerge from this. I suggest watching my New Moon podcast for more. Please subscribe to my channel while you are there.
.
It’s a great time to set intention to be open minded and to communicate more clearly with others including developing active listening skills.
Fri June 7
Moon —> Cancer 8:40 AM
We remain in the no Moon phase as the Moon enters their home sign, Cancer, and the overwhelm of this week may erupt in a lot of emotion and tears. Step even more into self-protection and self-care because this week, whilst I find it exciting, is hard on the nervous system.
Sat June 8
Venus square Saturn 4:25 AM 19˚ 02’ Gemini/Pisces
We begin to end the week with the Moon starting to gain light and a lovely steadying square from Venus as the Gemini evening star to Saturn in Pisces. Yes, squares can be helpful. This square may bring both a sense of a reality check and an ending of things but also help you to identify and let go of more of those self-limiting beliefs.
Sun June 9
Mars —> Taurus 12:34 AM
Sun square Saturn 6:35 AM 19˚ 05’ Gemini/Pisces
Moon —> Leo 3:28 PM
More energy change and welcome Earth energy ends the week as the Moon gains more light and energy. Mars leaves their sign, Aries, and enters rooted, steady, Taurus. This can feel a little frustrating after the fast energy of the week but will also be a welcome slowing down for most. Mars likes speed and action and finds Taurus slow, which is what leads to the frustration. However, Taurus is also the senses and the physical body so it’s a great time to focus on your physical health.
The Gemini Sun follows yesterday’s Venus square to Saturn bringing another slow of our rolls.
Lastly, the Moon enters the joy balloon of Leo bringing more of a playful and creative vibe emotionally. Combine the fire of the Leo Moon with the Gemini overload and creative and fun ideas will abound!
A reminder :)
I am beyond excited to be a part of this FREE three-week summit starting June 10 with other big-name astrologers, for the second year. My friend and colleague Suzanne Gerber has gathered together 21 top astrologers to teach you how to use the wisdom of the stars to find your sacred purpose—and more. Sign up for free here! Register at https://starsandstoneshealing.tiny.us/louiseedington
Suzanne runs a fabulous summit (which is why I didn’t wait to be invited, I asked her if I could be included again - don’t ask, don’t get right?) and some of those names are a MUST NOT MISS for me! I hope you will join us!
AN INVITATION:-
Join me in Utah in October
I am a Peer Group leader at the wonderful OPA Retreat in Park City Utah in October. I LOVE OPA Retreats. They have a certain intimacy and connection lacking in some events (the other events have different strengths).
I would like to invite you to the Retreat on October 16-21. There are fabulous speakers (and a day pass for just that day is also available) but what’s unique about OPA Retreats is the opportunity to do an in-person Peer Group, a track to learn a new technique or an in-person Consulting Skills class. At the core of all those options is becoming an ethical Astrologer or learning more Astrology. Plus we would get to meet!
The Retreat is called “Celebrating the Aquarian Shift”
And the theme is “Connect and Learn”
Payment plans available! Check it out and register at this link.
REGISTER for the OPA retreat now!
Please be patient as I find my stride and voice for these weekly posts. After writing daily for years it’s an adjustment, but one that is necessary for my mental health and business growth. Thank you for understanding.
Have a good one.
I know I will
