Starcodes June 10, 2022 Heather Roan Robbins

All things martial have been inflamed over the last few weeks as Mars conjunct Jupiter in feisty Aries. We’ll still feel that heated, adolescent energy through the weekend but may see that inflammation soften as the week progresses and Mars pulls farther away from Jupiter.

But first, the weekend begins intense and heavy with the weight of recent memories. Mercury trines Pluto and asks us to think deep and remember the recently departed in this time of gunshot and senate hearings. That trine, along with a brooding Scorpio Moon call us to remember, reassess, and work on all the deep issues of our life. A trine between Sun and Saturn and brings our minds to the concept of good disciplines and healthy boundaries.

All is not relentlessly heavy though, as a lighter, more flirtatious and creative note hums in the wind, a voice which can either be good medicine for these trying times- or get us in trouble. Along with those Scorpio primal emotions grows an interesting interpersonal spark as artistic and sensual Venus in earthy Taurus conjuncts electrical Uranus. This conjunction can spark our creativity and encourages us to feel fed by the beauty of the world around us. It can loan us the hope that we can possibly create beautiful and loving changes in the future. It can also strike romantic sparks, a meet-cute at the grocery store. It’s not just the trees that are pollinating.

The mood lightens Sunday night as the Moon enters upbeat Sagittarius, our minds are brought out of the local and into the national and international, we explore the global perspective particularly as that Moon hits full early Tuesday morning. Notice a wanderlust, may be time to travel, plan a trip, or contact friends in faraway places.

We could feel a new chapter beginning as Mercury enters its own sign of Gemini on Monday. Work beginning to pick up speed and our minds wind up to do what needs to be done. It will become easier to talk things out and reach out to new connections. We may be able to pick up where we left off about a month ago in our work or network. But our nervous system can also wind up, and anxiety won’t help us stay on target. Breathe, meditate for a few minutes, talk to the trees, and then come back to the task at hand.
