June Forecast

Hello June!

June is the midpoint of the calendar year and represents the number 6 In numerology in our calendar year and the number 4 in our astrological year. The number 6 is associated with harmony, balance, responsibility, nurturing, and love. 6 is seen as a symbol of harmony and balance in various aspects of life representing the idea of equilibrium, bringing together opposing forces to create a sense of stability and peace. 6 is linked to the importance of fulfilling obligations, taking care of responsibilities, and being reliable and trustworthy in relationships and endeavors. It encourages creating harmonious relationships, fostering a loving and supportive environment, and fulfilling responsibilities with dedication and care in all aspects of life. 

June also represents the number 4 in our astrological year and is associated with stability, practicality, hard work, structure, and determination. Number 4 symbolizes stability and a strong foundation, a grounded approach to life, encourages planning, attention to detail, and a healthy approach to tasks and goals. This is also a number associated with material manifestation and tangible results, goal-setting, and working towards achieving tangible outcomes in areas such as career, finances, and personal aspirations. It is a number that encourages endurance, resilience, and stability, while having the ability to withstand challenges, persevere through challenges, and maintain a steady course even in the face of adversity. 4 encourages themes of security and home life, emphasizes the importance of creating a secure and stable home environment, providing comfort and support to self and loved ones, and building a sense of belonging and safety.

June is a month of reflection, integration and fully delving into the essence of trusting the process of co-creation. We are all the writers of our own scripts and in this we must take the time to indulge our whimsical selves aka our inner child in a playful dance of creating the lives we have always wished to live. We have been on a quantum leap into a new place of existence within ourselves which is reflected in the world around us through our thoughts, emotions, actions, feeling, and how we choose to work with our wholeness. How we experience life is a reflection of how we feel about life in both a conscious and unconscious way, hence why it is imperative to be mindful of our thoughts, feelings and where our attention goes, as we empower them. This first half of 2024 has been a roller coaster of emotions as we have been propelled to purge, release and let go of absolutely everything that no longer serves our highest good and for those who continue to hold on to what is not serving them (emotionally, physically, people, thoughts etc.), things have been even more challenging as we are being asked to embrace change. We must learn to trust our intuition and understand that trusting the process, whether you can “see” the next steps or not, is part of the bigger picture. We have been taught that we must see it to believe it, but in truth we must believe it (know), in order to see it and when we allow ourselves to see things in our minds eye, it shows us what already exists hence why we can imagine or dream it.

June 29th

Saturn retrograde in Pisces (June 29th to November 15th 2024)

Saturn's influence in astrology is about learning to navigate and create the realities of life, taking responsibility for our actions, building solid foundations for the future, and ultimately, achieving long-lasting success and fulfillment through inner work and forward motion. Saturn is often seen as a planet of discipline, responsibility, restriction, and structure. It rules over the zodiac signs Capricorn and traditionally Aquarius and encourages perseverance, discipline, being responsible, reliable, and diligence in our endeavors. People with strong Saturn placements in their birth charts often have a disciplined approach to life and a strong work ethic and can get lost in the logic of the overthinking mind. Saturn also represents limitations, challenges, and obstacles in life and can bring experiences that test our patience, endurance, and ability to overcome adversity. Using these challenges are opportunities for growth and development, reminding us of our ability to ebb and flow with life while we hold the reins to direct our lives through a conscious creation. Because Saturn is linked to the concept of time and teaches us the value of patience, persistence, and long-term planning, we are encouraged to take an open minded and methodical approach to achieving our goals, rather than seeking quick fixes or instant gratification. Saturn is considered a karmic teacher in astrology and offers lessons and opportunities for personal growth, especially in areas where we need to develop discipline, responsibility, and maturity. Saturn transits and placements in the birth chart can indicate periods of learning and growth through challenges and setbacks. We must remember retrogrades are about reassessing and reviewing, remembering it is all about perspectives! The areas of life most affected by Saturn’s retrograde are those ruled by the house(s) that Saturn rules in our natal charts (Capricorn and Aquarius are ruled by Saturn) and those ruled by the house in which Saturn is currently transiting. 

Saturn retrograde in Pisces combines Saturn's influence of discipline, responsibility, and karmic lessons with Pisces' themes of spirituality, compassion, and transcendence. This is a time that prompts deep introspection and reflection on karmic patterns, life lessons, and past experiences, encouraging us to delve into the depths of their unconscious, confront inner fears, and address unresolved or lingering issues. Pisces is a sign associated with boundaries, both physical and spiritual and this invites a reevaluation of spiritual boundaries, discernment in spiritual practices, and the strengthening of inner boundaries to maintain spiritual integrity and authenticity. We are  encouraged to listen to inner guidance, intuition, and spiritual insights while consciously connecting with our higher consciousness for guidance and wisdom through trust and knowing. This energy facilitates the transcendence of ego and the dissolution of egoic attachments supporting the process of letting go of limiting beliefs, ego-driven desires, and illusions, leading to a deeper connection with the spiritual self and universal consciousness. This retrograde also signifies a time of profound healing and forgiveness on a spiritual level propelling us to release past grievances, practice compassion towards oneself and others, and embracing forgiveness as a path to spiritual liberation and inner peace once and for all. Pisces emphasizes surrender to divine flow and trust in higher forces while Saturn's retrograde motion encourages surrendering control, relinquishing resistance to change, and trusting in the unfolding of spiritual growth and evolution according to divine timing and inner wisdom.
