June 12 | Mercury Square Saturn; Moon Enters Virgo

Mars in Taurus
As Gemini season opens our minds to new ideas and vast potentials, it can be easy to linger in the realm of thought. Mars however, is here to do, act, and build. It doesn’t live in the mind. It lives in our physical bodies, as if it’s a fire burning deep within until we can’t help but express it in tangible action.
Mars enters Taurus on June 9, 2024, where it will remain until July 20, 2024. An Earth sign, Taurus is here for tangible building. It moves slowly yet persistently. It holds patience and lasting power. As Mars moves through Taurus for the next six weeks, we experience a season of intentional and meaningful application of our will and drive. When it comes to action, it’s less about doing and building, more about persistence and consistency and sustainability.
Welcome to a new season of channeling your energy, drive, and will with persistence, focus, and patience.
Sun in Gemini Square Saturn in Pisces
Another grounded and practical energy, Saturn brings tangible, physical, and practical manifestation. Saturn thinks long-term about the life we are building and the person we are becoming. It ushers in responsibility, discipline, and an unflinching look in the mirror of reality.
Sun square Saturn is a look into that mirror of reality. As the Sun dances through Gemini, Saturn builds itself in Pisces. These planets come into what a square aspect on June 9, 2024. Known for the tension it creates for the sake of getting our attention, a square asks us to look at something. It highlights what we are ready to shift. It requires an energy release of some sort.
As the Sun in Gemini plays with ideas and potentials in the mind, Saturn asks how can we make these real? How can we ground these potentials into the life we are building for ourselves?
The mirror of Saturn is here to realistically show us where we are in life in relation to who we want to be and where we want to go. When we say yes to the gift of self-responsibility, sacred discipline, and devotion to whatever our vision or life plan may be, Saturn also shows us just how much better life can be.
Mars in Taurus Square Pluto in Aquarius
Both Mars and Pluto are high-energy planets, meaning their essence is often felt deeply in our emotional, energetic, and physical bodies. As Mars moves into Taurus this week, it makes contact with Pluto in Aquarius. Another square aspect, this movement tells us something is asking for our attention.
Mars and Pluto are both energies that demand to be expressed, channelled, and moved through us into something. As these two planets come together on June 11, 2024, allow yourself to move your energy into something, whether a run, dance, song, yoga, artwork, or something else. Expression is essential on this day and the days surrounding it.
Also, whenever a planet touches Pluto, it is an avenue through which the unconscious can become conscious. It is through movement and outer expression that we transform the unconscious material of the psyche into empowerment and self-reclamation in everyday life.
Mercury in Gemini Square Saturn in Pisces
Our final square aspect this week is between Mercury and Saturn.
From 2023 to 2025, Saturn in Pisces has been, and continues to be, a space where we are making our dreams a reality, grounding our imaginations, and creating a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. Mercury in Gemini has been ideas, quick thinking, and a clearing and clarifying of our minds, narratives, and perspectives.
As they form a square aspect on June 12, 2024, it is a reminder to remember how inherently powerful our minds are. What lives inside our thoughts creates what lives outside of us. As we shift the narratives of our mind, we imbue and direct each step we take and, therefore, the life we are building.
This aspect is an invitation to remember that freedom and discipline work best in collaboration, and the vast ideas and imaginations that we desire in life require practical, grounded, and patient application to bring into being.
Mercury Cazimi
In mythology, Mercury is known as the messenger of the gods. It would travel from god to god, collecting and dispersing wisdom and messages. It would also travel from realm to realm, from the upper realms of the gods, also known as universal consciousness, into the Earthly realm or everyday consciousness, and down into the underworld or unconsciousness. It would then travel back up and around again, collecting and dispersing messages. Only when it reached the Sun would all of these messages begin to filter into our sense of self, identity, and conscious awareness.
Cazimi comes from an Arabic term meaning “the heart of the Sun” and describes when a planet comes within a certain number of degrees from the Sun. The Sun is our core self. It is who we know ourselves to be. On June 14, 2024, Mercury and the Sun will become inseparable in our skies as they seem to become one for a moment.
It is a day of vast insights and information channeling into our minds. The many messages Mercury has been receiving as it moves from planet to planet, realm to realm, has a channel to be received in our conscious awareness. Turn to practices that allow you to open up to greater receptivity of the messages and insights this day is asking of you, whether that looks like journaling, conversing, or creating space for contemplation.
Weekly Horoscopes
As the planets shift in our cosmos, they simultaneously shift through our astrological charts, highlighting different areas of our human experience. Look to the weekly horoscope for your rising sign so you can begin to discern related shifts and invitations.

There is deep transformation happening within. It is through leaning into the practices that bring you home to yourself that this can continue to evolve.

It dives deep into your depth, your history, and your shifting memories and emotions that are ready to be transformed. It asks only for discipline and devotion when it comes to your self-expression and creativity.
Sagittarius Rising
This week is a clearing, cleansing, and rebuilding of your mind and all that lives in it—your unconscious and conscious thoughts, your memories of your mind and of your body. The purpose of this is a deeper, wider, more loving, and more authentic connection to yourself, others, and life itself.
Capricorn Rising
When you transform your days, you transform your life. Allow space for sacred discipline and let it hold you while you become who you deserve to be for yourself. Bring in practices, habits, and routines that support you. Allow space for self-expression, joy, and art to heal your sense of worthiness and value.
Aquarius Rising
You are in a season of transformation. There is an invitation for movement in your sense of home within yourself, and for practical planning and building of finances that support this movement and transformation. Transformation must move; it must be expressed. You are art. Express it. Let your art be truthful. Let it be real. Let life be your canvas.
Pisces Rising
This week is an invitation to come home to yourself, to connect with the desires that are real to you, to begin exploring what you want to bring into your life, and to understand all that requires. There is self-expression this week yet there is also surrender. There is practical planning yet there is also the reminder that we cannot control the timing of life. Your intuition is your gift. Your imagination is your superpower.
Your Invitation
The planets represent archetypes that exist within each of us. As each planet ignites a specific energy, it mirrors an aspect of ourselves that needs to be witnessed and shifted.
Saturn teaches us that as we take responsibility for ourselves and our lives, we take back our power. It also teaches us that for change to occur, we must lovingly yet clearly look at the reality of our lives. We must be aware of what is, which allows us to be aware of what we would like to shift, release, or pivot away from as well as what we would like to invite into our existence.
As Mars and Pluto initiate movements, you’ll feel the need to initiate movement in your energy, whether through your voice, your body, or your emotions. As you move, you clear stagnancy. You create more space. You activate what is already ready for transformation that simply required your permission. You touch and create more space for the flow of creation that moves through us. And, with an assist from Pluto, you transform the unconscious into a reclamation of empowerment.
As Gemini season continues and you encounter Mercury cazimi, bring awareness to your mind. As Saturn asks you to take responsibility, what would it mean to take responsibility for the universe within your mind—the narratives and perspectives found within. As the week comes to an end, allow your mind to expand and receive. The messenger of the cosmos is ready to share much with you.
