Mercury enters Cancer (cardinal water) on 1st June - 10th August.
This is a beautiful time to reconnect with your inner voice and regulate emotional overwhelm through meditation and creative expression. The sensitive and psychic water sign of Cancer asks us to notice unresolved emotions or memories of grief coming to the surface, as Mercury offers tenderness with communication. This gentle celestial energy also invites you to reconnect with the wisdom of your lineage and honouring of the ancestral stories. This month is all about softening into meaningful connection with emotional depth, and the importance of acknowledging feelings.
Venus enters Leo (fixed fire) on 13th June - 10th July.
As Venus, the Evening Star, enters radiant Leo, we are invited to remember pleasure as a creative practice. This heart-opening transit encourages self-love and joyful embodiment. Surround yourself with simple treats that nourish the senses. Gather flowers from the garden and feast on the beauty that surrounds you. Let your body soften and whisper gratitude blessings for life unfolding around you.
New Moon in Gemini (mutable air) on 15th June @ 12:55pm AEST.
This Mercury-ruled New Moon in Gemini opens the new lunar cycle with soul messages and energetic renewal. Gemini energy is curious, mentally stimulating and it is important to use your discernment wisely. Writing your dreams with gentle awareness can also help you understand your thoughts and feelings more clearly.
In ancient traditions, intentions were inscribed into ritual diaries using consecrated ink and botanical oils to capture the mystical essence of a personal journey. In contemporary times, intentional journalling is still a potent expression of ritual and self-exploration. During this new moon cycle set new intentions, future visions and strengthen your inner guidance by casting your wishes and putting pen to paper in your soul journal.
Chiron enters Taurus (fixed earth) on 20th June – 18th September.
Chiron enters practical, earthy Taurus and begins illuminating the Venusian themes of self-worth, emotional security, finances, and relationship stability. The archetype of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, represents our deepest emotional wounds and the sacred journey of healing, self-awareness, and transformation. Chiron shows us that through compassion and inner healing, the wounding can become a source of wisdom, strength, and personal empowerment.
Chiron’s initial three-month sojourn in Taurus, offers an introductory opportunity to explore patterns around fear of loss and beliefs surrounding value and belonging. It is important to know that Chiron in Taurus will be fully activated in 2027. This is a 7-year celestial permission slip to move slowly, allowing deep rest, nourishment, and simplicity. Spend time in nature and create daily rituals that bring you back to a true sense of embodiment and pleasure.
Winter Solstice & Cancer Season on 21st June – 23rd July.
The Winter Solstice on 21st June marks a sacred threshold, and in the southern hemisphere is the return of light after deep resting of the winter darkness. As the Sun moves into Cancer, introspection deepens as this lunar-ruled sign governs the sacred waters of emotion, intuition, ancestral memory and belonging. This is a potent time for home rituals, ancestral reflection, and creating beauty within your sanctuary where you feel safe and nurtured.
Full Moon in Capricorn (cardinal earth) on 30th June @ 9:56am AEST
The Full Moon forms an aspect to both Saturn (mastery) and Neptune (conscious dreaming). This is a planetary initiation into soul-led transformation, spiritual awareness, and grounded purpose. Saturn and Neptune in Aries (cardinal fire) support the wisdom and endurance to focus on intentional action rather than perfection. The Capricorn Full Moon brings awareness to emotional sovereignty and honours how far you have come, knowing it will all be worth it in the end!
Jupiter enters Leo (fixed fire) on 30th June. The bountiful planet of Jupiter moves into the bold, creative sign of Leo, and is a powerful energetic turning point. This is a divine opportunity for personal expression and expansion of heart-centred living, generosity, and collective hope. Playful laughter, somatic movement, and abundant creativity are the soulful ingredients during this year long transit. Allow yourself the spaciousness and confidence to honour those long-awaited creative projects that need to come to light for their existence in the world. If you have been waiting for the ideal time, then this is it!
Allow joy to move through the body and restore your spirit.
