This week finishes off what last week’s full moon started. Slow dances with Saturn.

Limits, boundaries, growth edges and opportunities challenge us to work with them in more innovative ways than we have before.

With both the sun and Mercury in Gemini making exact oppositions to Saturn in Sagittarius, this week focuses not on the sign that Saturn is in (like last week’s full moon did), but on the other side of the equation: Saturn in Sagittarius’s opposition to all things in Gemini.

If your sun is in Gemini and your birthday is this week, you will have already been living with the critical eye of Saturn gazing directly at you for the last 1/2 year or so. Responsibilities tend to rise when this transit comes around. A kind of curfew gets placed on us. Restrictions to work within. We are challenged to learn to enjoy the freedoms that we do have while living within the confines of the tasks we must complete. If your ascendant, moon or other important planets in your chart are within 20-28° of Gemini, you will also know this tale well. The best thing to do is put your head down and get to the task at hand well before the deadline. Transits like these can, if we work with them, elevate us to a whole new level of professionalism. Facing Saturn is an opportunity that, if missed, leaves us languishing in the shallow pools of immaturity.

Saturn is deep in its retrograde cycle at this point. The opposition to the sun is its mid-point, making the past week and this one a time that offers up important reflections on the ways in which we are going about our business. Both Mercury and the sun’s opposition to Saturn are quick. Within a couple of days they both go on to make a sextile to Uranus. This suggest that once the obstacle is met, ground-breaking solutions can arise.

But in true Gemini fashion, this week teaches us that we have to be willing to communicate, with great discernment, about what it is we need. There is no shame in not being able to do life all on our own. We need the kindness of one another in order to get through the harshness that can too often invade our days.

As Neptune stations retrograde this week, we are asked to review our dreams, wishes and ideals. Neptune’s station is also a call for compassion, reminding us that we either learn how to hold ourselves and each other with great heart, or we sink in self-pity and blame. Neptune tries to wash away the boundaries that Saturn sets. It’s a week that can either create a mess or can create the opportunities to construct a compassionate embrace of our neediest selves and the world’s greatest needs. Love who and what you can. This world is in desperate need of folks who can be gentle with themselves and each other.

Aries & Aries Rising

This week healing comes through being unfaltering with your word. Don’t say it if you don’t mean it. Don’t agree to do it if you don’t have the time or energy to spare for it. Don’t trust the internal voices that only cut you down.

Be uncommonly kind to yourself in your thoughts, words and deeds.

Notice the critique that is constantly occurring in the background of your mind. Notice the negative chatter from the balconies of your subconscious. Notice the ways in which you tend to limit yourself because of what you think others think of you. Nothing that anyone thinks or says about you is any of your business, and is, in fact, completely out of your control.

Don’t waste your energy trying to impress anyone. Save it.

Focus on being unconditionally gentle towards yourself. When you feel yourself getting ready to be harsh, soften as best you can. Repeatedly. When you notice that life is pushing you to develop a part of yourself, do so with an attitude of loving kindness. It will make your efforts a little easier. It will make the process a little less taxing. It will make the lessons that much more lasting.

Nothing makes our mind shut down faster than admonishment, shame and self-rejection. Come to the lessons that your days deliver with an unconditional support for yourself. That way you’ll be able to appreciate all that you have learned in the recent past while leaving space for all you are learning in this moment.

*The new moon in Cancer, occurring on June 23rd, has tremendous healing potential.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

This week can be a little tricky. It requires that you consider your life in regards to its greater trajectory. Focusing on this moment alone could be misleading.

Context is everything.

If there are moments of self-doubt, hints of lack in your luster, or temporary back-slides into old behaviors, take a moment to recognize what ideas you are buying into. See if the sentiment serves you. Notice if there is another attitude or idea that would better your ability to deal.

It’s good to acknowledge what comes knocking, but it isn’t necessary to let it all in.

Try not to be too attached to the material realm. Try to source your happiness and your self-esteem from the quality of your relationships, connections and self-love strategies. Make it a practice to remember how far you have come. How much you have grown. How difficult it was to learn all the things that you learned in order to be here in this moment.

It is immeasurably important to remember the skills that we have developed, the compassion that we have learned to cultivate and the distance that we have traveled. This week and next will provide you with breakthroughs by the dozen. Be patient if there are moments of heaviness beforehand.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

This week is a little unrelenting. It unpacks in greater detail the work that last week made apparent. It holds you to your promises. It holds you to your deadlines. It holds you to the task of loving yourself through whatever restrictions you are up against.

Both internal and external.

This week might feel a little harsh, but the edges can be softened by being patient with your process. By being conscious of what you are frustrated about. By being careful not to judge yourself.

The world does that enough. No part of you or your life benefits from being minimized, but all parts of you and your life can benefit from being challenged to outgrow your limitations. Encourage yourself to engage in the disciplines that demand you rise to the challenge, and decline what demeans you.

This week speaks to the growth that you have personally made over the past two years. The challenges that you have faced head-on. The responsibilities that you have refused to shirk. The growth opportunities you made a commitment to rise to.

This week also speaks to the innovations that can be made to help you better meet your responsibilities. There is no getting out of the assignments that you have been given – you know this by now – but as you continually learn to give yourself over to them, you’ll come to learn more efficient ways of working with them.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

When will you have paid enough? Done enough? Struggled enough? What will you finally earn your own forgiveness? Self-respect? Appreciation?

The planets plead that the time be now.

See yourself in the reflections of the sincere efforts that you have put forth. Honor your labor, labor that is really just a vehicle for your love to flow through to the rest of us. Acknowledge the quality of your work based on the depth of exchange that it creates.

Use this week’s indulgently retrospective tone to sort through the attitudes that do not serve your efforts. It’s all well and good to want our work to be as good as it can before we let it take flight in the world, but the work is so much more useful when we get out of the way and let it do its thing. Perfect is a trap laid out by procrastination.

Ask yourself what the most productive course of action would be for you in this moment. It might be a moment of unrelenting self-care. It might be some kind of discipline around training your mind to see yourself as an equal to your professional peers. It might be challenging yourself to interrupt your own self-rejection so that you can move towards more self-acceptance and accountability. Here self-hate is revealed as an altogether useless endeavor. Trapping us into corners that feel too limiting to be useful in. We all need permission to make the noble efforts that engender our growth, self-exploration and personal development. Give yourself the permission to find such spaces and let yourself expand in all the ways you can.

Leo & Leo Rising

With your ruler, the sun, under momentary but intense scrutiny from Saturn, this week might have you working through some demanding details with friends. Notice the expectations you have of others. Notice moments where you feel let down. Notice the folks in your life that are able to give you a good example of how to hold your boundary.

This week might ask you to do the same.

It’s a week that won’t let much slide. A week that will tend to test you on issues that you have with certain groups of people. A week that will require you to address the things that come up in your friendships and with colleagues.

But the important thing to remember about the work that you’ll be asked to do this week is that the doing of it brings you to a breakthrough. To multiple breakthroughs. Those that test you will also help to create situations that tease out an innovative way of working through issues. Those that get in your way will call on your ability to navigate around an obstacle, helping you to see just how well you have developed your problem-solving skills. Issues that feel a little insurmountable will teach you how to scale incredible heights using a new method of movement.

Remember that you are allowed to rest when life comes to a halt. In fact that is often where innovative inspiration reveals itself to us. Treat mini rest stops like meditations that can help you to channel solutions, rather than a guilty pleasure that you are indulging in.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

This week tests your professional fortitude. It challenges you to see past the obstacles while you meet them with every bit of effort that you can muster. It might hold you to a project. Make deadlines slower to meet than you’d prefer. Make you question why you are trying to do a certain part of your work in the first place.

There is wisdom in slowing down when life does.

Meditate on answers. Meditate so that solutions can swarm you. Meditate so that you can use this moment to practice patience. With yourself. With the process of reaching your goals. With the hope that you won’t let a delay or two call into question your entire existence.

You are way wiser than that.

This week will also offer opportunities to heal something in your relationships. For some, this will feel like you are having a moment of heightened sensitivity to your partners’ struggles and situations, opening up a greater understanding between you. For others, anxiety in regards to intimacy issues will tend to get the better of you. Try to remember to hold yourself through this process. Try to remember to give yourself what you wish someone else would. Try to remember to communicate about what you are going through. Evade nothing. Have compassion for all parties involved, but try to solve nothing as you do. Work through feelings as they come, but put down any ideas that you can or should be able to get this kind of work right. Exploring who we are through the relationships that we have is difficult work. It requires our sincere effort, but not our perfect one.

Libra & Libra Rising

This week will reveal the work that needs doing in order to make your dreams for the future a reality. This week will outline the efforts that you need to make. It will make clearer the pieces that you need to put in order and the discipline needed to do the job you have set out to do.

Embracing the authority that you do have over your day-to-day life will help you to intuit the solutions that can help you surmount the situations you are faced with. It’s all about how you meet the moments. Remember that the minuscule adds up to the monumental. Have patience as you use what you’ve got to keep striving towards what you want. Keep believing in your ability to develop your talents in tandem with the new roles and responsibilities that you are stepping into.

The more compassion that you have for yourself within this process, the more encouraged you will be to embrace the tasks you have to contend with. Be your own cheerleader, encourage your best efforts, and remember that every expert climber knows to take advantage of a rest stop when the altitude shifts. Reaching new height takes skill. Pace yourself with a great amount of compassion.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

This week’s astrology asks you to work through an issue that comes up in a partnership or collaboration. It asks you to witness what you do when faced with a situation that is unfair, uncompromising or unwilling to give you your fair share of the credit, profits or praise.

Don’t let anyone short change you.

When challenges come up, witness the amount of energy that you give your fears. Ask to understand the kind of power that you hand them. Ask to get honest about how you go unconscious to your agency when what you fear threatens to become real.

Seek out new strategies. The air is heavy with them. The moment is begging for you to listen to them. The potential of them is profoundly pleasing. Work on clarifying your intuitive powers so that you can channel them, harness them and put them to good use. Doubt tends to distract us from our powers of perception. Work on clearing out the doubts in your mind that are dubious in their intentions. The ones that are only there to keep you in your place. The ones that are only meant to be roadblocks to a greater awareness of your potential. The ones that make you out to be less powerful a player than you are. Making a momentary pitstop to clean out your mental machine can help to get you back to working on the duties that are in front of you with greater clarity, purpose and drive.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

As you well know by now, you are no good to anyone else if you aren’t good to yourself. Keep this sentiment in mind as you move through the week. With Jupiter, your ruling planet, now direct, you’ve got a lot of people to meet with, a lot of people wanting to make plans for future endeavors with you, and a lot of people wanting to contribute to the development of your dreams.

Choose your partners discerningly. Everyone might want to get on your good side, but that doesn’t mean everyone is a good fit for what you are doing in this moment. Keep all helpful relationships afloat, but be cognizant of who feels most resonant with your most sincere intentions.

This week could reveal the limitations of certain people or partnerships. It has the potential to bring you to an impasse or in important decision in regards to who to invest your time and energy into. It makes more certain who you can promise yourself to given how challenges are met and dealt with.

Promise yourself to keep choosing what is best for you and what you have already committed yourself to. The right partners will be able to recognize this boundary as a highly valuable asset to invest in.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

This week works you. Makes clear the responsibilities that you have to deal with, find your way through and find solutions to.

This is a week to put your health first. Your well-being on the top of your list. Yourself in the picture. Don’t forget that achieving a work/life balance is every bit as important as achieving any kind of award.

Don’t forget to have a life.

This week is suggesting that you do so by keep things on track as best you can. Keep it all moving along as efficiently as possible. Keep an open mind when things come to a standstill. There could be an obstacle that ends up teaching you a tremendous amount. There could be an important detour that appears to be a failure but is really a fortunate rerouting. There will definitely be reason for you to take advantage of any and all downtime. Learn to meditate while you wait in line, ride the train or deal with traffic. Breathe consciously when you feel constricted so that you can remember the expansion that comes when we unplug when and where possible. Take the in-between moments as invitations to tune in to yourself. Take the in-between moments to consciously invite in answers to any issues you face.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Reserve some of your creative energy for yourself. Try not to spend it all at work. Try not to give it all to your partners. Try to remember what you need in order to feed the appetites of inspiration.

This week might feel like there isn’t a tremendous amount of free-time at your disposal, but it’s also hinting at the fact that when you take advantage of the little that you do have, you can do a lot with it. Go to the places that open your mind up to new possibilities. Hang out with the people that know your unlimited potential and aren’t afraid to reflect that back to you. Remember your responsibility to your creativity.

We’ve got to feed our inner artist. We’ve got to give that part of ourselves not only attention but permission to express itself as it needs to. We’ve got to make sure that this world never crushes our uniqueness or squashes our right to self-express. However, it’s impossible to know just what we are capable of creating if we don’t spend time developing an affirming relationship with that source within. Use this week to dedicate yourself to experiencing more joyful abandon and more childlike experimentation.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Responsibilities at home come calling this week. Some clarity is needed in terms of what yours are. Some issues need to be sorted through and it’s best not to hope everything will just work itself out on its own. This is not the time to swim away from situations.

Get to know the nature of what you tend to get resistant to. Get to know the look and feel of what gets you anxious and wanting to escape. Get to know your process so that you can best help yourself through this current (and future) threshold. What this week is suggesting is that there are new ways to deal with historically challenging issues. There are new solutions to age old problems. There are different ways to relate to what you are working through, so keep working with it.

As Neptune stations retrograde in your sign this week, it will pull focus on your intuitive talents and capabilities. It’s a good time to review how you work with your intuition as a problem-solving skill. Working with this aspect of ourselves can keep us aware of the fact that issues that come up are more akin to mysteries to be explored than problems to be abhorred. Keep tuning in to what life is teaching you at the moment and what new solutions it wants you to explore.
