Astrodharma Transit Report: June 2022

AWAKE IN THE FACE OF MORTALITY-MIRRORING LOVE

THE BEGINNING weeks of June suffer from post Mercury retrograde fatigue. There’s a push to action, but immediately after Mercury goes direct on June 3rd, Saturn squares it. Travel is still a bit glitchy and the time for unobstructed forward movement doesn’t fully arrive until Mercury moves out of Taurus into Gemini on the 13th.

From this point onward, things move forward with lightning quickness. Ready to hop on a plane? I recommend boarding your flight between the 13th and the 15th, which is the energetic peak of the month as the Moon is Full in adventure-loving Sagittarius on the June 15th.

Travel in June is outwardly light, inwardly sober. Why? Three reasons:

1) Because Saturn went retrograde the day after Mercury went direct, pushing us to do some serious reevaluating in the house(s) that Aquarius rules until Saturn turns direct again on October.

2) Because Venus in Taurus is square Saturn all month (exact on 19th). Relationships unsupportive of our larger life purpose either upgrade, or implode.

3) Because we sense the gravity of what’s coming. In our subconscious, we know that by the time we get into September/October when retro Saturn moves within one degree away of an exact square to world-rocking Uranus, we need to get situated again on the land and with the people we’re happy to stay put with for a while.

Saturn Retrograde: May 4th- October 23rd.
Survival or Soul Calling?

Saturn goes retrograde every 12 months for about 4½ months. In the sign of Aquarius, it’s a good time to consolidate the base of our life and let projects and undertakings mature quietly in the background, like a good wine.

Move forward with team projects slowly but surely, pausing to go back to the drawing board to work out unresolved issues.

Saturn Retrograde is a great time to think “big picture” and decide where and with whom we want to invest.

Impatient with financial and professional setbacks? Saturn retro may be doing you a favor by frustrating you out of a job that is motivated more by survival than soul-calling. Those on a genuine soul path will work humbly and patiently, sticking to the straight and narrow.

The June 21st Solstice: Making Peace with mortality-mirroring love

The period between the the Solstice on the 21st and the New Moon in Cancer on the 28th is a good time to inquire into why “restless doer-ship” haunts us even when we’re on vacation.

Perhaps, through the tribe-loving lens of Cancer, we will see the secret agenda of busyness: to smear Vaseline on the lens between us and the ravages of old age, sickness and death. Easier to watch skin falling off the bones of beloveds in blurry fits and starts (when we carve out a small patch of time to see them) than to suffer the graphic, blow-by-blow footage of aging day after day with a beloved.

Could this be the reason why so many are addicted, through dating apps, to the springtime phase of relationship?

The transits of June keep prodding us: What are you doing with this period of relative ease and peacetime? Are you weaving Gemini adventure with Saturnian strategy? Where will you be during the Saturn/Uranus square in September/October? Alone and unsupported? Or will you be deep in meditative practice: glowing your ageless innocence in front of a mortality-mirroring love?
