This cycle is very special – like a soft rain falling to bring a moment, an interval in order to truly decide, how you need to live, what direction you really want to take.
In this Stardrops, we go through our usual daily updates, but at the end, two brand new cycles of planetary influences are swiftly moving into position. As the weeks go by, we should all be feeling a stronger and stronger sensation which desires a higher way of living now. Not only is there the desire, but the will to make it come true, the intelligent strategy and vision to act upon this sensation. Even though the world is messy, and many who lead are far from the standard we know could be, we are moving on with or without them. A bigger light is drawing us close to IT, and we are not going to ignore it anymore.
Let’s enjoy this new adventure!
PLANETARY CYCLES FOR JUNE 14 – 30, 2026
June 14 – 16 Venus in Leo, 2* – 4* sextile Uranus at 2* Gemini
Trine Neptune at 4* Aries
A beautiful day where creative and original ideas can ignite a spark of brilliance. Inspiration combines with higher visions and brings a keen perception towards anything you are discussing now. Any involvement in technology, community sharing, collaboration with projects, enjoying creative people who support and contribute has positive outcomes on these days. However….
June 16- 18 Venus at 4-5* Leo oppose Pluto at 5* Aquarius – …One challenging moment in this series of days, could try to disrupt an otherwise positive start to our week. A bit of stress over our own values or our enjoyment could throw us off base.
Trying to maintain the original Sunday through Tuesday joy and truth we may have experienced, and all the insights, breakthroughs and inspiration which could have brought us such a positive feeling will be the key. Keep it, protect it, as Venus oppose Pluto might be some form of energy attempting to usurp our joy and confidence within ourselves.
June 21 Sun moves into Cancer
Welcome to the next four weeks of heightened sensitivity towards home, family and loved ones. A stronger need for closeness comes to us during this period of the year. Also, more attention placed upon our homes, property and developing greater security. Enjoy!
New Moon at 24* Gemini June 14 2026 oppose Black Moon in Sagittarius 21*
Our New Moon theme is about an important new start for us. We should feel very much motivated to get on with things in our life that are meaningful and bring us to our ultimate outcome. It is a time where information we ponder now, whether it is personal information, content we’re writing or reading, data or dealing with issues right in front of our eyes we must handle, it all requires maintaining a vision of the big picture for our lives and doing the best we can to overcome procrastination, over expansion, over extending ourselves and assuming too much without facing the truth and the reality of the situation.. Try not to become sucked in too much with high emotion with the issues at hand, but keep in mind a grander larger scope of your future goals you’re wanting to achieve are just around the corner.
Issue pertaining to relationships with others, your security, money, safety and protecting your ideas, possessions, opinions or personal view of things would be key. Others might attempt to present particular facts and verification of things. Your own intuitive insight could be smarter than all these intellectual justification going on.
The theme? Selective tasks versus over-extending one’s energies – what we decide to focus upon now, is key to trust and act on and set as priority. And understand, there is a need for sorting through ideas for a few weeks. Decide what is actually aligned with your inner instinct, intuitive wisdom, and supports your internal common sense.
Respect your own inner voice, the intelligence of our heart while working with the information at hand others share with you in a cooperative way. It’s an opposition between the New Moon in Gemini oppose the Black Moon in Sagittarius, which always brings tension between two people, two polarizing ways, judgments, differences of opinions, styles or even vibrations. It’s time to get real!
June 24 – 26 Venus in Leo trine Saturn in Aries 13*
This is a great stabilizing period for our social life, key relationships, and re-enforces our courage joy and our confidence within. Social situations are all going smoothly. Excellent time for all professional relationships or creative arts, music, or quality time with children. It is a structured formal workable streamlining of management, administrative efficiency. This cycle is very positive for having some important part of our life in order, our money, work, timelines, schedules, and event, as if something feels complete or nearly perfect. Accepting an inevitable move, decision or expense could be done with confidence…however *below…
June 24 – 25 Sun squares Neptune at 4* Aries inconjunct Pluto at 4* Aquarius
….When it comes to someone particular in authority, one little thing during these days might cause frustration and it’s good to guard against over-reacting…our irritation or emotions could rise up. We should shield ourselves from discouraging attitudes, confusing obligations and duties now. Something is off, doesn’t feel correct, yet there might not be anything we can do about it. It’s important to keep our head and grasp on our common sense, information and facts in order to uncover what is actually going on. Sometimes we’re simply witnessing psychologically upsetting situations or people who rub us the wrong way.
June 26-28 Mars at 29* Taurus sextile Jupiter at 29* Cancer
Now successful conclusions and re-alignment brings balance and emotional stability. People are more cooperative, it’s a positive day for feeling back in control with things, and a sense of security for what matters to us now. Sextiles help with all communications and with Jupiter involved, a sense of empathy, sensitivity and kindness permeates the conversation.
MERCURY RETROGRADE
June 29 Mercury turns retrograde at 26* Cancer until July 23, and Full Moon in 8* Capricorn
Both Mercury turning retrograde, and the Full Moon occur on the same day June 29.
Mercury makes a conjunction to Jupiter although it isn’t exact it’s close enough to influence Mercury’s guiding intelligence, sending us an important message during any point between June 20 – through Mid July. Mercury retro and Jupiter helps expand good fortune with all forms of vacations, important events, speaking, writing, learning, spiritual understanding.
The energies between these two planets, increase our capacity to use better judgment and gain important knowledge. It enhances strong inner guidance towards our personal emotional needs. in the midst of conflicting feelings, especially if there is a strong influence interfering with your real opinions or assessment of a situation.
It could send us a strong insight that we should heed, regarding family – home – emotional needs, security, safety, or even possibly real estate or anything domestic. It will be a take away theme you and I need to hear within our heart, to in order to bring us a better future. We want to take action from this nsight, as it can add just a bit more security and inner powers in order to navigate through difficult decisions, and we need this now as it will support our future happiness.
This is a very nice start for the new trend for Mercury, beginning around June 20 into mid – July.
Because Mercury is in Cancer, and the Moon rules Cancer, we need to target what is going on with the Moon on this date…and, we also have a Full Moon on June 29.
Full Moon in Capricorn
The Moon is at 5* Capricorn square Neptune, which tells me, there is a problem with some sort of confusion swirling around from the 20th – 29th especially – many times with a Full Moon, it brings something to the fullness of a situation. With Mercury retro also at the same time, there will be a double emphasis of clarity to a problem, and the guidance from Mercury to see it clearly.
This situation is strange – it is saying to us, regarding any subject or situation on your plate at this time, some strange uneasy deception, or the uncovering of something which could make you uneasy may be becoming increasingly clear. Again, think about any given situation which you sense isn’t quite right, in fact…not just quite right, but potentially way off and distracting us/you from what really truly matters in life right now.
Something is distracting, like a concept, personality or agenda you don’t feel is a good fit for you, or isn’t a good fit for the situation. With Moon square Neptune some might experience a sentimental sadness about a past bittersweet memory of how things used to be. It is more than a feeling, it penetrates the heart and all at once, one can capture not only the sensation of vibration of this time in the past, but its profound rarity and meaning it could have for the soul. The square could mean it might even be painful, yet we’re meant to take it all in, protect it, and not allow present disappointments ruin that ideal thing you are recalling.
What do we do with this energy? An Affirmation always makes the difference!
AFFIRMATION
“Mighty I AM, you take charge of all subterfuge, deception, intrigue and possibility of being swayed or distracted from false conversations or games played. I call down clear vision, re-direction and alignment of my heart and mind towards those paths which are true blue. Protect and shield my world and the powerful walk I AM taking towards the ultimate beautiful outcome for me and all those I love.”
Jupiter conjoins Mercury Retrograde
With Jupiter on Mercury, there is protection and the opportunity to speak one’s mind, reestablish security and certainty in one’s life or work, or whatever area we are noticing the conflict. We can expect expansion and inspiration with this Mercury, especially in the form of ultimate security and ethical moral integrity regained by one’s opinion and voice. Jupiter enhances a positive outlook, enriches our own feeling world with comfort, handles the challenging circumstances and interactions with others. – So this is a mixed bag with the Positive Jupiter conjoin Mercury, and the challenging Full Moon square Neptune at the same time, during June 20 – July 15, and the strongest on the dates are between June 28 – July 4, 2026.
The strange feelings or uneasiness could peak anytime from June 14 – up to the fullness of this Full Moon’s behavior, revealing a trend from the past weeks of misaligned energies, poor judgment, lack of attention to particular details and a sense of mistakes made which needs to be faced…especially June 14 – 29th. For the next two weeks after June 29th this is the time period of re-aligning oneself back to normal and confronting the situation, making a decision to choose your inner intuition over the external obligations.
If this all sounds terribly nebulous to you, keep this on a shelf until you get to Mid July, and then something may be revealed which fits the description.
The Full Moon and the Uranus conjoin Mars
June 20 up to July 4, Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini within this Full Moon and Mercury retro theme – and this is absolutely dynamic. It can be experienced as an electric revelation released to our minds. Our thoughts receive a sudden insight and a knowing what to do, how to move forward with a plan.
On the downside, there might be unexpected problems with cars, data, computers, tech, internet electrical, it could happen during this period of June 20 up to July 4.
The Mars/Uranus conjunction squares the Nodes, and so it could put a crimp on some plans or events by interfering with a social situation, or even finances, or possibly slight conflicts with people, choices, decisions to make.
However, with Uranus/Mars in Gemini trine Pluto, a steady stream of solutions can come quickly to stabilize a situation.
Pluto Trines Uranus
Pluto trine Uranus is also something building and it is the first of several we will receive in the next year. It is extremely positive. It is a remarkable downpour of liberation and breakthrough from something old, oppressive, stuck, frustrating, broken or dysfunctional for a long long time. The peak date of this will be all July, especially exact July 17, 2026.
Uranus sextiles Neptune
Also, Uranus will sextile (60 degree angle) Neptune, releasing love, unity, spiritual ideals, and higher energies into our minds/hearts. High inspiration and motivation of lofty ideals, greater connections with friends and community, opportunities for successful professional ideas, expansion of love and wisdom, information and progress, between you and others, progressive insights, opportunity for divine transformation of self and stimulating situations – we definitely want to take advantage of these two major planetary alignments by trusting the change which is to come to us now. Opportunities to advance and progress in many areas of your life. Personal, business, career, love and family, finances and friendships. It’s incredibly positive, and is already building a momentum like a new wave of positiveness, even starting now!
