Astrological Monthly Forecast June 2023
The first summer month of 2023 offers us a range of exciting developments…
We are now half way through the year 2023, the Year of The Rabbit….
We can say that the first half of 2023 has changed world dynamics with Saturn in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius.
We have already received a preview of the future…
Pluto in Aquarius has already hinted that the end of the me-first culture is in sight and that we are moving towards a more humanitarian, selfless society.
Saturn in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius turn ostentation into inner wealth, tuning into universal love, to what is truly important.
June 2023 promises to be a month in which expression, connection and creativity predominate.
At the beginning of June 2023, the Great Benefactor Jupiter is next to the North Node in the financial earth sign of Taurus and this conjunction gives the world a glimmer of hope for economic progress.
The Full Moon in Sagittarius of June 4, 2023 coincides with the conjunction of Mercury and Uranus in Taurus, so the beginning of June 2023 will be colored by revelations and unexpected developments. The energy of the Full Moon in fiery Sagittarius at 13º18 can bring important news.

In the first three weeks of June 2023, the Sun warms airy Gemini with mental energy, speeding up the pace of life.
Mercury (ruler of Gemini) will remain in Earthly Taurus until June 11, 2023, so the first ten days of June 2023 can be regarded as a kind of ‘quiet run-in’ for the rest of the month.
Mercury travels through its own sign of Gemini from June 12, 2023 to June 27, 2023.
Mercury’s mental energy feels right at home here, so it’s about making the connection, getting information, new ideas, making short term plans and finding solutions.
The partnership of Mercury in Gemini with Venus in Leo brings a vibrant atmosphere of curiosity and desire, but retrograde Saturn in Pisces in the second half of June 2023 will dampen the atmosphere with gloomy thoughts and blockages that we must face.
From June 6, 2023, Venus travels through the fiery realm of King Leo and stays there until October 9, 2023 (Venus goes retrograde from July 23 to September 3, 2023).
During that long period of time, financial and relational issues from 2015 may return, so a broken relationship, ex-partners, old friends, connections, soul mates or financial issues from that time, all of these come back to close or make up something.
From June 19, 2023, pre-shadow of Venus retrograde begins, so from then on we are already facing things from eight years ago that have yet to be rectified.

On June 8, 2023, Mars in Leo forms a square with Uranus in Taurus, which creates a strong impulsive urge on a personal level to change course and free yourself from everything that holds you back. This planetary field of tension also globally increases the risk of earthquakes, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, transport accidents and cybercrime.
Red planet Mars will also remain firmly on the throne of Leo in June 2023 and will give Venus a warm welcome. Mars and Venus travel together in Leo until July 10, 2023!
The passionate tango of Venus and Mars in the fire sign Leo guarantees a lively atmosphere, which can have both positive and negative effects. There is a strong desire for love, romance and creative expression, but this energy can also lead to impulsiveness, arguments and instability in relationships.
From June 12, 2023, retrograde Pluto will return to Capricorn ….
After spending a few months in Aquarius, the energy of retrograde Pluto in Capricorn will be focused until mid-October 2023 on completing transformations related to goals, aspirations, life direction or responsibilities.
Retrograde Pluto asks us to focus on our strength, on our reserves, our golden treasure and how to realize our deepest desires.
Retrograde Pluto asks us to throw off the shackles of everything that prevents us from manifesting our inner truth. With our inner strength we stimulate and inspire others. We then empower others to live life the way it was meant to be lived.
Saturn (Lord of Karma) goes retrograde in Pisces from June 17, 2023 to November 3, 2023. Saturn rules discipline, responsibility and Karma. Themes such as faith, karma and life lessons become very important during this period. Saturn retrograde in Pisces is the time to break and release karma.
Saturn retrograde brings us back to the heart of the problem. The way we deal with problems and challenges brings insight into how we can overcome fear and adversity. By regaining the inner strength, we also find the energy to get back on our feet and to manifest our dreams.
Due to the influence of the retrograde Saturn in Pisces, social relations can come under pressure due to idealistic and political disputes.

The New Moon of June 18, 2023 at 26º43 in Gemini calls for clear choices where each other’s opinion is respected. The mental energy of this New Moon in Gemini is a breath of fresh air of new ideas, plans and enthusiasm.
Everything that is started today can be completed in a short time.

Jupiter in Taurus forms a sextile with Saturn in Pisces on June 19, 2023.
This rare cosmic alignment offers opportunities for long-term success and holds the promise of long-term expansion and growth both personally and professionally.
On June 21, 2023, the Sun, the radiant center of the sky, reaches its highest point on the Tropic of Cancer and enters the Water Sign of Cancer. The longest day and the shortest night.
It is Midsummer, the Summer Solstice or the Summer Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere.
For the Southern Hemisphere, this magical day marks the beginning of Winter and the Winter Equinox. From this day on, the days in the Northern Hemisphere become shorter until the moment of the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2023.
Our winged messenger Mercury rushes through the water sign of Cancer from June 26, 2023 to July 11, 2023. Mental processes, speaking and thinking are colored by emotions and defensive attitude. Mercury in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces on June 26, 2023, and in the midst of this emotional rush of confusion, Mars in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus.
A struggle can then arise between daily obligations and a great need for freedom.
Work disruptions and demonstrations are likely with this field of tension.
Neptune, the planet of illusion and mystery, will retrograde into Pisces’ own mystical realm on June 30, 2023, “rewinding” from 27º to 24º Pisces.
Retrograde Neptune reinforces the illusion that everything is possible and with it the desire for more of what cannot be. Many go down the road of denial, gaslighting, projection, avoiding reality and being caught up in the dream.
With Neptune going retrograde, we are painfully confronted with the fact that nothing is as it seems.

I leave you with the news that we are now preparing for the big shift of the Nodes to the Aries/Libra axis next month.
More on that later!
I wish you all an exciting month of June!
Love, Marlies Goovers
