While Jupiter is bringing positive energy and opportunity to the Cancer ruled House in your Natal Chart over the course of its transit through that sign which began June 9 of this year and will conclude June 30 2026, in the immediate there is an intense activation of Jupiter/Cancer energies. The Sun moved into Cancer on Friday, joining planet Mercury there, and the Sun is conjunct with Planet Jupiter the first 3 days of this week. Cancer Season brings us all into our feelings and emotions every year. Cancer Season is best experienced as a self-care time, a time to nourish and nurture body, mind and spirit. Certainly this year with everything that is going around us implementing Cancer Season self-care practices will be even more important than usual. They may even prove vital. Cancer Season serves to remind us that we cannot be the caring person in the world we would wish to be if we are not also looking after ourselves emotionally and physically. New Moons are times to plant seeds of desire and intent. Plant seeds of the love you need when the New Moon forms and activates in Cancer on Wednesday (exact 15:30 EDT). Open yourself to the emotional bounty of the new Cancer Season, open yourself to emotional intimacy and intimate connection.

The planet Mars joins the South Node in the sign of Virgo until August 6. Mars is a planet I associate with the outward expression of energy. Virgo is a physical and material security oriented Earth element sign oriented toward observation, analysis and problem solving. The South Node represents our ongoing relationship with the past and what we carry from it. This is an excavation and renovation oriented Mars transit. A square formed with Uranus at the onset of the transit can bring significant issues from the past into the immediate in surprising ways over the next few days. Ultimately this is a time to clear the way for the future by reconciling the past in some way and purging its residue from your being. Also, when faced with challenges in the immediate be careful to not fall into patterns of behavior or habits that did not serve you in the past. Mars in Virgo gives us the opportunity to get it right in the present and lay a strong foundation for what we would like to build in life. Get yourself in order, get your house in order, get your life in order, prepare for the attracting and manifesting time ahead in 2026 when the outer planets have finished changing signs. In the present, free yourself of old love energies so you can attract and receive the bounty of the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer in late June and in July.
Duncan de la Montagne New Moons are fresh beginnings. New Moons are times to plant new seeds of desire and intent. Positive energies abound now as the inner planets and the luminaries are in complementary element signs and in good harmony with each other. Venus and Mars exude passion and desire for adventure in Aries and Leo respectively. Mercury is curious, imaginative, and exploratory in the early degrees of Gemini for this New Moon, and of course the Moon itself will be conjunct the Sun in Gemini tonight at 11:02 PM EDT. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and abundance, is closing out its own journey through Gemini now, which will conclude mid-June. Even Saturn has joined the present positive possibility mix sitting at 0 degrees of Aries today, and perhaps clearing emotional logjams that built up over the course of its slow transit through Pisces. These are strong attracting and developing energies. What do you really desire in your life now? What do you wish to create in your life? People with personal planets in the first 10 degrees of Air element signs will experience these energies most strongly, however each of us can connect with the inspiring, conceptual, creative, cerebral, and highly communicative energies of the element of Air. There is much out in the world we cannot control, and some of that can feel quite overwhelming at times. While we should all contribute as we can to the building of a better world, Gemini is a very personal journey oriented sign. Find inner peace through grounding in the present moment today, then begin to consider where you need fresh energy in your life. Tonight plant those seeds, then take action and commit to a new vision of you and your life.
Duncan de la Montagne Full Moons cast light on that which was previously hidden. They are also powerful magickal energy portals for those who do that sort of spiritual energy work. The energy of a Scorpio Full Moon is transformative. A Scorpio Full Moon is always intense and this one particularly so. The Sun is within 4 degrees of Uranus in Taurus, there is a square involving Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio Mars in Leo, and there is another square formed by Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius. So much fixed sign energy, so little flexibility. Expect your darker side to make an appearance today, and expect the dark side of others to manifest now too. Jealousy, envy, and ego-based anger and manipulation will manifest around us, if not in us. This is a chaos Moon so guide yourselves accordingly. What has been lurking beneath the surface emerges now. Sabotage and destruction will occur. Long standing grudges may erupt into more physical manifestations now. Passive aggressive energy turns to conflict. At best this Moon will reveal parts of yourself that you should focus on in your evolutionary journey of personal growth. It can spark a new level of sexual passion in healthy relationships. It will reveal what threats to you exist in your life. Detach from dark emotion as much as you can. Defer communications in contentious situations for a couple of days. If provoked, don’t react in kind. Wait, and then respond. Key information is coming. Knowledge is strength, particularly in the face of wild emotion.
