Meg Walker (Karmic Astrologer) on LinkedIn: Mercury and Venus are conjunct at 29 degrees of Gemini on 17th June 2024… (2024)

There will be a Full Moon at 1 degree of Capricorn on 21st June 2024. Capricorn is a cardinal sign: out-going, self-starting, entrepreneurial, courageous, wanting to take action, willing to take the initiative and make things happen. This practical, hard-working and ambitious sign belongs to the 10th house of the zodiac, and is concerned with status, professional life, aims and ambitions, career achievements, government, authority and structures in society. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, Planet of Karma. The 10th house denotes the area of life in which Saturn’s karmic lessons are to be learned, so burdens responsibilities are found here. Saturn is very strict and brings restriction and constriction to our endeavours, but also encourages using past events to make better decisions in future. So, what can we expect from this Full Moon? Personally, we can expect changes in our professional life, our status in society, a shift in our career, and changes in our long-term goals. Some will apply for their dream job, begin a new business, take a risk in order to advance their career, whilst others may choose happiness and personal fulfilment instead of career ambitions. Collectively, that which is no longer working will be demolished, and new structures will be built on a firmer foundation. We may not be able to see ahead with any clarity, but we will need to take responsibility for our actions, past and present; learn from our experiences, overcome any challenges, and treat this Full Moon as a wake-up call for us to make the changes that will make things better.

From 20th June until 21st July 2024, the Sun will appear to pass in front of the zodiac sign of Cancer. Mercury is also in Cancer from from 18th June to 3rd July, and Venus from 18th June to 12th July. This means these 3 planets will have moved from the mutable air sign of Gemini into the cardinal water sign of Cancer. As a Water sign, the main lesson of Cancer is control and balance of the emotions, which eventually leads to the peace of mind all Water signs seek. This peace of mind is gained through learning to relax deeply, after first experiencing emotional highs and depths. All of the Water signs are concerned with emotional states, but Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which is also to do with emotions, making us extremely sensitive, easily hurt and open to impressions and atmosphere around us. We sometimes feel life is too hard and need to establish some protection around ourselves. Cancer is represented by the image of a crab, a creature that carries its shell, or its home, on its back, wherever it goes. In a similar way, we find protection by building a shell around ourselves in the form of our home. Mother, home and family are most important to us with Cancer.

Summer begins with the solstice onThursday, June 20, 2024, marking the astronomical first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Summer Solstice precise moment is on 20 June 2024, at20:51 GMT. This is the longest day, and the shortest night, of the year. In folklore, it has always been celebrated as a time when the Sun brings more light to the Earth. It is therefore symbolic of awakening, enlightenment, ascension, and the triumph of light over dark. This is a time of new beginnings and changes. In astrology, solstices mark the beginning of a new astrological sign. For the Summer Solstice in June the sign is Cancer, which is Cardinal in quality: out-going, self-starting, entrepreneurial, courageous, wanting to take action and willing to take the initiative and make things happen. We will be reflecting on all that Nature has to offer this summer, but also looking deeply within ourselves to see where positive changes need to be made. Let us review our plans for the future, set out our intentions clearly, and look forward to reaping the harvest of our efforts as we move towards Autumn.

On 20th June 2024, the Sun at 29 degrees of Gemini will be exactly square Neptune at 29 degrees of Pisces. This is a challenging aspect, bringing low energy, extreme tiredness, lack of confidence and confusion. We have idealistic, but unrealistic plans for the future. A challenging aspect to Neptune brings us face to face with delusions or deceptions and we may be tempted to turn to drugs or alcohol for comfort. We identify with the under-dogs and feel willing to fight for a good cause. We desire to become more spiritual, but need to beware of schemes with low moral standards. Our usual daily work routine will not attract us and we may benefit from taking a day off and relaxing until this aspect passes. Both Sun and Neptune are at 29 degrees, the Anaretic, last degree of a sign before moving on to the next sign. It therefore marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. We are preparing ourselves for a new chapter.
